ESTABLISHED 1 HARTFORD MERGHANTS HURT IN GLAYT Dinky Demolishes Delivery Truck and Occupants are Rushed to Hospitial With « Fractured Limbs ONE MAY DIE FROM INTERNAL INJURIES Driver Says Electric Warning Bell Did Not Ring Until Train Was On _. Top of Machine—Fireman Shouts to Engineer But Too Late to Avoid Collision—Truck Hurled Fifty Feet and Is Reduced to Scrap Metal. One man was perhaps fatally in- jured and another seriously injured when the 10:30 o’clock dinky out of Hartford crashed into an automobile delivery truck at the Clayton crossing at about 10:45 o'clock this morning. The injured men are Eugene War- shaw and Nicholas Sorakin, both of whom live on Broad street in Hartford and are partners in business under the firm name of FEugene Warshaw & Co., dealers in barbers’ supplies and perfumery. ** The accident occurred at the ex- act spot where many other fatal ac- cicents have occurred in the past and where the memorable dinky wreck cccurred a little over a year ago. Go- ing east, the crossing is a particular~ ly dangerous one, as all view of the %rack is hidden by brick-yard sheds. Coming in this direction, however, a good view of the track can be ha& for an eighth of a mile. It was in this direction that the ill-fated machine was going. Sorakin, who was driving tlie automobile, was the Teast serious- %y injured of the two. His injuries consist chiefly of a fractured left hip, scalp lacerations, body bruises . and general nervous shock. His partner Is in a much more serious condition. His right leg has a compound frac- ture above the knee, his left hip is troken, the back of his head is split open and he has internal injuries in ‘¢ddition to numerous minor injurigs mbout the body. ! Auto Driver Blamed. Just what led up to the accident is a mystery, but indications are that #orakin tried to speed across the tracks ahead of the train. After the eccident, as he lay on the ground, he was questioned by several regarding the accident and witnesses say he ad- mitted that he saw the train coming But thought he could beat it to the crossing. In the ambulance, however, Eorakin told a different story. He said he did not see the train and that the Tell at the crossing did not begin to ring until he was in the middle of the tracks, an instant before the collis- ion. Railroad men say this is im- “possible for the bell is electrically controlled so that if it rang at all it Lad to begin ringing when the train meade the connections several hund¥ed yards up the track. Both men exhibited remarkable rerve after the accident, but War- aw was only semi-conscious. His ‘tompanion was consclous at all times end although suffering from a frac- tured hip his nerve did not desert him end/as he lay on the ground he ex- pressed the gravest concern for his friend. Offered whiskey as a_stimu- lant, he steadfastly refused and took #nothing all the way to the hospital, riging on the floor of the ambulance as his friend lay above him on the stretcher groaning with anguish at every little jounce caused by the un- evenness of the road. Says Auto Stopped First, The train was in charge of Conduct- or Hughes and Engineer Teed. Nei- ther knew of the accident until it oc- curred. Engineer Teed was on the right side of the engine cab so did not see the road over which the two Jartford men were driving. The fire- man, however, saw them coming and states that to his eye the automobile driver seemed to slow up just before reaching the crossing and then speed- ed ahead. The firemen shouted a warning cry to his engineer but it was too late and the front of the loco- ~motive struck the automobile in the middle. Engineer Teed handled his train in a masterly manner and at the instant of impact set his emers- ency brake, locking the big driving wheels. That he applied the brakes Ipstantly was shown by the fact that the locomotive wheels passed over the front of the automobile and so quick- 1y did Teed apply the brakes that the wheels locked at the very instant they passed over the car. The train slid about its own length before coming Lto a stop and investigation showed that one of the side curtains of the auto was even .then firmly pinned be- neath the wheel and the rail. Auto Completely Demolished. The automobile was a Ford delivery ‘wear, completely enclosed and with the side curtains up. This last fact may (Continued On Fifteenth Page).

Mr. Warburg appealed to the bank- ers to “forearm” by increasing their balances with the federal reserve bunks ang releasing some of the gold in their vaults, “Keep all the gold in your vaults where it is useless for vourselves and deprive it of the addi- tional force that it may gain in the hands of the federal reserve banksj keep every cash till in hotels, rail- road stations, dry goods stores and what not filled with gald certificates, and vou will rob the country of its legitimate opportunities of growth, of “helping the world.” He cited figures to show that.the excess lending power of the federal reserve banks is $206,101,000, if loans ere taken in “lawful” money, and $501,525,250 if the loans are taken in federal reserve notes. He ad- vocated speedy retirement of na- tlanal bank notes in favor of reserve note in order to obtain ‘“a curren elastic.” The fed- hould be perfected, in various details, although he was “profoundly convinced that the federal reserve act will prove one of the most constructive contributions ever made by cangress, and the fur- ther the system sdevelops the more apparent this will become.” BIG REALTY DAL City Realty Company Sells Church Street Property to Bowling Alley Owner—Deal Involvds $75,000.
