_ assistant. Is left of the shattered wooden cars, and to consider the evidence that the? company placed the train in incompetent hands It is understood, too, that the Grand Jury will investigate the report that the accident was due at least indirectly to the company's attitude Which led to the calling of a strike of motormen yesterday, The strike ‘was called because the company had declined to act on the recommenda- tion of the Federal War Labor Board for the reinstatement of twenty-nine discharged employes. The strike was called off at 146 A. M. to-day when the company gave in to the strikers. | ‘The train, of which Lewis was in charge, left Park Row at 6.18 o'clock, It was made up of five cars, the first and last of them motor cars. All were of wood and none was less than twenty-five years old, according to| District Attorney Lewis. j Every car was loaded to the platforms. There was an average of at} least eighty passengers to each, and while it can never be known just how | many were aboard, the number may have been nearer 460 than 400, The dead and injured account for 300 of these. Mayor Hylan joined those who questioned Lewis after his arrest, | which did not come until after District Attorney Lewis demanded of George D. Yeomans, chief counsel for the B. R. T., that he be produced. Until that time Lewis had been missing, and he was not turned over to Detectives William Conroy and James McCarthy until after Mr. Yeomans had been in’ telephone communication with his claim agent. STEEP GRADE, SPEED WARNING. At what is known as Consumers’ Park station, the first before Pros- | pect Park statjon, bound south, a steep grade begins on the Brighton) Beach line. This grade continues to within a short distance of the mouth of the tunnel at Malbone Street. There the tracks run level again, and at this point on a sharp curve into the tunnel a sign 1s posted for the guid ance of motormen: “SIX MILES PER HOUR.” ‘This sign is on the right hand, or motorman’s, side of the track. It is| sald by regular travelers on the line to be plainly visible by day, but to; be without lights by night, so that unless a motorman knew it was Gere} he would probably pass it without knowing it. Neither was there a reduction of speed to six miles an hour, nor a reduction to any degree. Those who came out of the tunnel alive were of | the belief that the train was going down the grade from Consumers’ Park at least forty miles an hour. Lewis's admission that it was going thirty | seemed last night to the authorities to make the opinion of the passengers probable. The tunnel beneath Malbone Street is double. "one section carries two tracks; the other, one, It was in this single-track tunnel that the wreck occurred. This tunnel, futhermore, bears sharply off to the right in curve a short distance in. It was at the beginning of this curve that the derailment took place. @his threw the train on a tangent against the partition wall, which was of reinforced concrete, the steel reinforcements jutting out from the walls | and from the roof two or three inches, As a result of all this, only two of the cars escaped practically cont plete demolition. The first was ono of these, curiously enough, and the last one was the other. One reason for the way they stood up may be found in the fact that they were motor cars, and therefore of heavier structure. The second car was reduced to a heap of splinters and twisted metal. ‘The fourth was likewise, Of the third car there was hardly enough left to show what it had been. It had been caught in the very centre of the impact, naturally, and the force that was directed against it was evidenced by the fact that it was carried entirely away from its trucks. RESCUE WORK IS PROMPT. lly extraordinary official service attended the wreck. A fire alarm was sent in at 6.44, two minutes after the time established for the derail- ment. This brought Deputy Chiefs O'Hara and Langford, Police Inspec- tors Murphy and Formosa, Capt. Kelly of the 82d Precinct, and a comple- ment of men that included both auxiliary fremen and police reserves, All available ambulances were called from the hospitals of the bor- ough; ambulances of the Motor Corps of America were quickly on the ,seene, and patrol wagons supplemented the feet until the living and the dead alike were moved away without delay. Conditions that have never been equalled in this city attended the work of rescue. To get the bodies of the dead out it was necessary to place fire ladders from the coping of the viaduct to the tracks below. To carry the dead up these ladders {it was necessary to place the bodies in tarpaulins laced together. Scenes that were more harrowing hedged about the workers in the tun- nel, Among the very first to go there were Mgr. John T. Woods, rector of Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church, and the Rev. Frank Coppinger, his They administered the rites of extreme unction to no fewer than forty persons, and to most of these at once. The first forty of the dead to be removed were found on the tracks fm the rear of the fifth car. Evidently the car dad not touched them and the police and firemen were mystified as to how the bodies got there. Some were without arms, some without legs and the clothing had been torn from many, hats, dresses, coats, overcoats and men’s coats being found fully fifty feet away. Warning to Women BEWARE of women canvassers described in the fol- lowing letter from a resident of Dobbs Ferry. They are unknown to us and do not represent us in any way. “James McCutcheon & Company Fifth Avenue & 34th St., New York. Dear Siro: Fearing that the matter may not yet have been brought to your attention, I deem it worth while to advise you that during Monday and Tuesday of this week three women, calling them- selves McKenzie, visited Dobbs Ferry and sold at fabulous prices machine made laces of designs that 1 am advised are out of date, upon the statement that they had recently brought them over from Great Britain; that they were selling the laces in order to obtain money to pay the duty on the contents of five trunks of flax and that they were under contract with your firm, as soon as they obtained delivery of the flax, to make hand made laces therefrom for you, and advised their lady victims that if at any time they wanted to match the laces they could come to your house and do so, I am satisfied that it was largely on ac- count of their statement that they were to be seis } 4 your firm that they succeeded in making sal I wa thought that probably you might be sufficiently interested to take steps to pr: the misuse of your firm name and to give such notice as will prevent at least your own cus- tomers from being thus victimized.” A number of our customers, in both the city and suburbs, have made similar complaints, therefore we would greatly appreciate any information that would enable us to locate these women so that we can take legal action against them.

Lewis of Kings County, following bis first investigation of the accident and the arrest of the motorman and guard gave out this statement: “The accident undoubtedly was due to the recklesness of \he motorman.

They were at least twenty-five years old. They were coaches, and only the first and last were supplied with motars. There was not a | bodied car in the entire make up ‘ef the train, “Again, the law was violated by crowding and cramming these five cars with passengers. They were packed to the gates.

Both these cars struck the tunnel well and they were ripped wide open. “T have not changed my opinion that the disaster was caused by the In- competence and recklessness of the motorman and the failure of company officials to provide a competent motor- man. I found no fault with the road bed.” Mr. Lewis said he was making a special investigation of the use of old wooden cars and would make a state- ment on that phase of the matter later.
