- S IO 1 T T SRR U L e SR THREE ARE ILLED N BAL CLLSON At Least 56 Injured When In- f terurban Car Hits Open k- Switch at High Speed. By the Associated Press, BVANSVILLE, Ind., Sep‘amber Injuries sustained by at least 56 per- gons who were passengers aboard a $pecial Dade Park race track inter- rban which crashed through an open vach into a line of heavily loaded reight cars last night were being ehecked by railroad officials eatly to- day. Three persons were killed in the wreck and at least five more wére #h a critical condition. The full extent of the casualties was undetermined because of the speed with which the injured persons were treated at the Walker Hospital, where all avallable doctors of the city were ealled to administer first aid. No charts were made on the victims. Witnesses Blame Light Expert. Coroner Max Lowe, likewise was pushing an investigation of the wreck. Otto Lloyd, a block-light expert, who had worked on the switch shortly be- fore the accident, admitted to several ssengers in the car that he had led to properly throw the switch, according to depositions in the hands of the coroner. The car was traveling at 40 miles an hour when it swerved from the main line into the switch and crashed head-on into the box cars. Those seated near the front of the car were the most seriously injured. The motor- man was killed instantly and two other persons were fatally hurt. Not a seat in the wrecked car re- mained In position. The bases were forn loose and twisted from the floor and the iron frames were crumpled Porters 8ay Tips Benefit Company $150,000,000 Yearly By the Associated Press. Asserting that the Pullman com- pany benefited to the extent of 160,000,000 & yeéar from tips given :o its porters, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters yesterday asked the Interstate Commerce Commission to issue orders to cor- rect the abuses it claimed have existed in Pullman travel. The petition asked specifically that the company be required to ‘“cease and desist from directly or indirectly” {nstructing applicants for positions as porters ‘“that they may expect increment 3o their wages from passengers,” a\d from continuing to fix its wage rates for porters at an “amount-insufficient to enable them to remain in the service.” ¥ VAN-SWERINGENS HIT IN C. & 0.

A group of Chesapsake & Ohio mlnorfty stockholders, in a brief filed yesterday with the Interstate Commerce Commission, characterized the proposal of the Chesapeake & Ohfo to acguire stock control of the Erfe and Pere Marquette as an effort on the part of O.

The minority held that the Chesa- peake and Ohio should not be made a general trunk line, but should be treated as a natlonal asset, having in view its general usefullness to the entire country as well as other rail- roads. Seven short line roads con- nected with the Erie &Pere Mar- quette at the same time petitioned the commission to withhold its approval of the proposed unification until the Chesapeake g Ohio had made ade- quate provision in a modified applica- tion to protect thelr interests. “ment on stories from the victims that sthe brakes were unable to stop the car, although at least 60 yards sepa- frate it from the box cars when it hit Sthe open switch. The car was an old model used by jthe company, it was stated, but was fequipped with air brakes and modern {safety appliances.
