He made a grab at Tracery’ bridle, brought horse and rider down and himeelf fell in an inanimate heap with his skull fractured by a horse's hoot and with hardly one chance in a thousand of surviving hig injuries, It was at first believed he had been killed. The unconscious man was operated on at the Ascot Cottage Hospital. In the meantime horse and rider had doth risen, having escaped apparently Whalley, the jockey, who was pain- fully but not seriously injured, was ally asked him what had happened.

Harris, foreman ef re paire at the Cedar Hill abop, sald, in © our agreement with the engineers whioh was responsitte for Doherty's Presence on that train. Ne matter what train it was he would have had it to McChora instantly asked that a copy of this agreement be produced before him and the rail- road promise? to do #0, General Menaser Bardo's face was wreathed in iles as he heard the point develop. For it is the contention of the railroad that their hands are bound by their working agreement with the engineers and that it is the latter and not the railroad officials who actually run the Toad eo far as the assignment of en- Gineers is concerned. Prefacing an it does a probaule in- vestigation by Commissioner MoChord into this working agreement, it prob- ‘was the most important testi- y of the session. EXPLAINS AQR ENT WITH ENGINEERS, General Manager Clinton L. Bardo took the stand at the beginning of the afternoon session to explain the agree- ment between the New Haven Road and the engineers. He testified: “The agreement was made effective on May %, 1910 Under article 9, the rule says in effect: ‘Spare engineers shall be called in the order of first for duty, first put on e train.’ “When # came with the road in February of this year, this rule was in operation and an order had been issued it December, 1 think, that spare en- than two years' freight ce should not be allowed to run through passenger trains, and men of Jess than one year's experience should not be allowed to operate loca! trains even, could not find any recent trouble which could be laid at the door of @ young en- gineer and so I had no argument to meet the protests of the engine men. ACCEPTED RULE THE ENQI- ERS DEMANDED. “I didn't think it wise to continue thie rule without some restriction and the engineers promised to consider it. A month later they offered this amend- 8 Rule One, section C, “'No engineer who has less than one year’s rating as an engineer shall be allowed to run through passenger trains,’ “Thies was not what I wanted, but it was a step in the right direction and T accepted it, “When I came to this road it was ised, Management was lax and good @ record as any in this country. I know our men are as competent as there are on any road and I think they feel the reproach of this Stamford af- fair as keenly as we officials do.

From Mr. Doherty's record do you consider he was a competent engineer? A, I do, Mr. Belnap anked: “Nothing that the engineers insisted on had any effect, had it, in Doherty's case?’ A. Nothing except that the two- year limit Would have kept him off the train, Q. But you believed him competent? A. Yes. Q. Well, jan't it a fact that no one determined the positive question of his affirmative capacity to take out that train? Wasn't the question of his com- petency determined by the negative method of establishing the fact that had no black marke against him as @ freight engineer? A. His record de- termined his competency, yes, slr. @. Don't you think {t advisable that a travelling engineer showlé ride with an engineer on a first trip? A. I do. Commissioner McChord interrupted to ask: “Why haven't you made that rule, then?’ A. I presumed such a rule was @ hard and fast one. Q. But you do intend to make it a rule that # road foreman of ongines shall accompany a driver on his first passenger train? A. We certainly do in- tend to make this rule, Then Mr. Bardo was excused. The second session of the Federal in- quiry into the fatal Stamford wreck began in thi tfald Hotel here at 9 o'clock to-day because Interstate Com- merce Commissioner C. C, McChord was @ inquiry to-day. C, L. Bardo of the railroad forces and called P. J. Langan, the Delaware, Lackawanna and West- ern railroad air-bra! sisted in the air-! Mr, Bardo asked: : ‘here has been much discussion of the Inability of Bngineer Charles J, Doherty to throw over t! sine—that fa, to reverse it As an ert, what is youn opinion on the reversing of an sine?" “An engine should ni be reversed when the air brakes have been applied. With this retarding pressure the wheels would lock and the train would akid further than If the reversal had not been made.” “Then you would say it was not good railroad practice to r under the cireumstancs when Doherty tried and failed to re- verse the locomotive’ “I should consider it poor practice.” TRIED TO SHOW ENGINEER WAS AT FAULT, Mr. Bardo had developed an important point for the railroad, inasmuch as Lan- jan's testimony removed from consider- ation all questions ether Doherty ‘was adie to reverse his engine. It would have done no good had he done so, Langan.sald. Mr. Bardo moved on to the question of how tne brake worked im Tuesday's test, endeavoring to show that Doherty could have stopped his train had he manipulated his brakes Properly, “In test No. 6, Mr. Langan,” went on Mr. Bardo, “you reduced your airbrakes at the rate of 15 pounds, followed by 15 pounds, while Mr, Doherty says he reduced by 15 pounds, followed by © pounds, Tell us what difference there would be in these stops.” “In one test we stopped in 2,586 feet from a speed of 69% miles an hour, | This Drought u# to stop 0 feet on the safe side of the ‘home’ signal, beyond which Doherty ran 171 feet imto the rear of section one. Now, if the air waa epolied, an Roberty save de oa immediately: “Would you have allowed that ¢rain you investigated yesterday to leave the Pennsyivava tion in New York as the Pennsylvania immited?” ‘Mr. Martin hesitated ever Mo aa- wer, but finally sald: “3 would not have let that train go out.” Q. Would you have ict it go out as a fast express of any type? A Bo, cir, 3 would sot.” Mr. Martin was eaked about the pro- motion of firemen to be engineers and explained that Bfter a man was pro- moted on the Pennsylvania he was never allowed to take out a fast train until he,had been was competent. Mr. Martin read herty's testimony and then Commis- loner McChord asked: “Would you say hat he was competent and should have been assigned to the train?” “Considering fully the experience Doherty had had as & G@reman and engineer, I do not think he should have been assigned, to the train.” A. Would it have been done on your road? A, Not if there were another engineman available Q. And if there were no other aval)- able would he hi been sent? A A read fireman or @ travelling engineer would have been sent with him at least half way and probably all the way. Mr. Martin said he had found brakes on the wrecked engine, No, 1338, “ia first class condition” on Vuesday morning prior to the:test. He also said he had known engine drivers to lose an hour between New York and Philade!- phia and “nothing said to explanation that they gineer and air brake expert of the Bos- ton and Maine, followed.
