DOHERTY AT SCENE OF THE WRECK| G Pararats —_— Indicates to Coroner Points at Which He Applied Air and the Emergency V'Brakors CORONER MAKES OBSER,VAfIGNS OF DISTANCES On the Hypothesis That These Distances Are Accurate, Rail- road Men Testify That There Must Have Been Something Wrong With the Air Brakes and That Doherty Showed Good Judgment—No Practical Automatic Stops Known ——— Stamford, Conn., June 20.—After a lapse of several days, Coroner John J. Phelan of Fairfield county late today resumed his inquest into the wreck of the Springfield express on the New Ha- ven road, in which six lives were lost on June 12. Charles J. Doherty, whe was the engineer of the train that cra: d into the express, went with the coroner and other officials to the scene of the accident and pointed out the various places whege he said ‘he had applied the bakes his fruitiess endeavor to stop the great superheat- er engine. Doherty Accompanies Coroner. Going to a spot approximately 3,300 cast of the distant signal, he told oroner that here was where he w the “yellow eye.” He applied 5 pounds of air at a point 1,200 feet east of the same signal. When the en- gine did not slow dowx he applied a pressure of 10-pounds more. This was 300 feet nearer the “yellow eye,” he es- timated. Then, as the engine showed no signs of lessening its speed, he put on the emergency and “let her have the whole thing.” Walking slowly alorig | the tracks toward - Stamford station, Dohery came to a spot where he “heel- e said he thought he_applied emergency brakes there. The dis- nce was measured, and it was found 1o be 1.300 feet from the home signal— that signal being some distance away from the place where the wrecked traln oo0d His Previous Testimony. At the joint inquiry yesterday by the interstate commerce commission, Doherty testified that he could not see the signal until he got around the curve. He sald he saw the signal “as soon as possible—in the neighborhood of 200 or 200 feet.” He then applied pressure of 15 pounds. By that time he had gotten by the aistant signal and he reduced the pressure ten younds more. He made the emergency appli= cation about 300 feet from the train, Something Wrong With Airbrakes. After taking other observations, the coroner came back to the town Hhall and conducted the remainder of his hearinz. Taking the same distances as given by Doherty today and assuming that a train with the same equipment running sixty miles an hour, Coroner Pheland asked a number of ‘witnesses what would be indicated if the train 4id not come to stop. All said the train should have been stopped, and some zaid that if Dohgriy had applied the brakes as he sai¥ he did, it would in- ’ dicate that something must have been the matter with the airbrakes. Doherty's Judgment All Right. Those who were asked the question were: Jerry W. O'Connor and Allen T King, engineers; John Harmon, who had been suspended for running past 2 signal with Doherty’'s engine; Albert H. Harris, general foreman of the New Haven roundhouse, and J. F. Buckley, Jr, a traveling engineer. ‘Asked as to fhat they thought of Doherty’s judgment, providing that he did what he said he did at the dis- tances given today, all sald it was good Judgment. No Practical Automatic Stops. Charles H. Morrison, signal engineer of the New Haven road, was asked why the road had not installed automatic train stops, as had been recommended after other wreck investigations. “There are no automatic stops that I know of that will work,” was his re- ply. There are a number of devices, he said, but he had vet to find one that was practical for evervday railroad work, The automatic stip might work and it might not, and if such an ar- rangement were to be installed it would be worse than none,, in his opin- ion, 2,600 Devices- Submitted. He said that since last January,when | President Mellen offered a substantial prize for a successful automatic stop, 2,600 devices had heen submitted. Practically all of these would inter- fere with the “overhead clearance,” and the majority of them would not work on_electrified Toads. The New Haven road is doing every- thing it can, he declared,, to encourage inventors who are working on auto- matic stops. The road will test two de- vices that have been submitted near Hartford in the latter part of July, he Inventors to Be Called. Coroner Pheland asked Mr. Morrison: it there had been an automatic stop at Stamford if the wreck would have been avi - *he “satd: “Certainly, if it had worked." y The coroner asked him concerning several devices that are advertised to automatically stop trains,ané Mr. Mor- rison said he had tried them all, but they were not practical. The coroner announced his intention of calling sev- eral inventors of automatic devices to the witness stand later in his inquiry. The inquest adjourned until Monday afternoon at Bridgeport. HOME INFLUENCE ON CHILDREN'S LANGUAGE. Governor Baldwin Says It is Teacher's Duty to Offset It. Willimantic, June 20.—In presenting their diplomas to the 40 members of the graduating class at the commence- ment exercises of the Willimantic Normal school today Governor Baldwin told them that they were going forth 1o teach the next general of the people of Connecticut how to talk, write, rea- son, and what to reason from. Some of the best work of the teacher, he | said, is done with a single pupil and | out of the hearing of any other. A child,” he said, “may come from a house where I says,’ ‘He done it and ‘He ain’t no fool” are often heard from father or mother. It will be your business first to set him an . example of correct speech and second to call at- tention to what mistakes he may have ‘been thus ledinto at home, or by other children at play. The proper time and place will probably ot be in the middle of a class exercise, but some time when vou can get him by him- self The governor then referred to the estion of teaching the next genera- tion to write and to reasop. Of the latter he said: ‘Here is where the child comes nearest lo the man. He must be taught how to form judgments and to inquire into not only what is, or may be, but why these are 50. 8 “And finallv You are to teach thé | mext generation not énly to reason, | but what to reason from. The child maust be introduced by you to a new ' world of facts. Each new fact ac- quired widens the horizon and muiti- plies the channels of reason.” DR. MAHER ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF BOARD. | State Tuberculosis Commission Mests | at Hartford, Hartford, Conn., June 20—At a meeting of the state tuberculosis com- mission at the capitol today Dr. David R. Lyman, the recent appointee of Gov- rror Baldwin to fill ‘the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. George H. Knight, was present. The board or- ganized by electing Dr. Stephen J. Maher of New Haven, the hold-vver member of the board, as chairman, The board has been without a chairman since Dr. Knight's death. Commis- sioner John F. Gunshapan's term will expire July 1 and he will be succeeded by Jontahan Godfrey of Bridgeport on that date. Aluminum Produstion. Washington, June 20.—Sixty-five million prounds of aluminum produced in the United States, was used in this country in 1912 as compared with 48, 125,000 pounds in 1911, according to a report of the Geologieal Survey today.

South Canaan, Conn., June 20.—Hard cider and bad tempers are thought to have been at the bottom of the violent death of Freq Long, aged 45, here dur- ing last night. Coroner Herman at ‘Winsted was this morning notified that Long's death was a homicide, and he sent officers here to arrest Ray Rora- back, aged 30, and Frank Howe, about the same age, who were in Long's com. pany Wednesday night. Long, who was a farm hand em- ployed by C. B. Holcomb here, was found seriously hurt in a barn on the road between Falls Village and this place, at noon yesterday. He said he haq crawled into the place during the night.

Ozel's Apartments Gathering Place of Revolutionary Plotters. Berlin, June 19.—Ozel, the notorious Russian revolutionist and member Of the second duma, was a police spy who brought a large number of Lettish socialists to the gallows, according to a_despatch received here from St. Pe- tersburg by the Tageblatt. A Lettish liberal organ in Riga, which Ozel rep- resented in the duma, makes this cate- gorical statement: “Ozel was an inflammatory orator in the duma. His apartments were the meeting place of alleged revolution- ists with soldfers of the St. Petersburg son. The plan to make an at- tempt on the life of the Russian em- peror and overthrow the government was drawn up there, and upon this Premier Stolypin justified his dissolu- tion of the second duma. “Ozel fled to America during the his- toric session when the duma debated ypin’s demand for permission to st 36 socialist deputies.” ABOUT. HANDWRITING. Prof.” Blackle's writing was _bad. There used to be an elderly highlan i compositor on an Edinburgh journal who had the reputation of being the only man.to set up the professors scrawl, but even he was floored on one occasion. “I couldna set it,” he said, after puzzling over the manuscript, “but if I-had my pipes I could play her!” Band handwriting may some- times prove advantageous, as Lord Curzon once found when he was a Young man at college. Writing two let- ters, one to a relative, the other to & friend, he misplaced them in the en- Velopes. The friend’s letter containe an indiscreet reference to the relative. A reply came back, however. “I have not been able to decipher a line of your scrawl, but I suppose i's money you're after, so I inclose a check.” There are only six genuine Shakes- peare autographs In existence, yet one of these—appended to a deed Of pur- fhase—realized but $625 when sold at auction on May 19, 1911. It was bought by the corporation of London for th> Guildhall library, much to the indig- nation of a number of the city fathers. One member of the common council described the transaction as “most wasteful and prodigai,” and another member said tnat it was “quite ridicu- lous to think of voting £145 for a few doubtful, illegible, almost obliterate:l scratches of a pen.” A motion to dis- allow the expenditure found 31 sup- porters on the council. Dickens was the most easily read of authors. He acquired the art of legi- ble writing when as “the best and most rapid _reporter ever known’—it is his own description of himself—he had to hurry to and from country meetings by coast and post chaise. The trans- cription of shorthand notes in a bad- ly lighted vehicle bumping over a rough road led to the formation of a hand in which every letter was per- fectly formed—a characteristic whih he retained to the last.
