Mr.. DEPEW'S
Railroads Cannot Obey the Laws Of
Connecticut and New York,
REQUIRING DIFFERENT HEATERS.
He Explains His JOcular Remarks on the
Tunnel Disaster.
RAILROAD WRECKS ARE VERY COSTLY

CHICAGO, April 16.-Chauneey Depew,
accompanied by Cornelius Vanderbilt, 81.
NICK. Twombley, E. V. r. Rossiter and
President Ledyard, ofthe Michigan Central,
arrived in Chicago this afternoon on spe-
cial train and drove a: once to the Audi
torium Hetel.
1--WE shall leave tonight for the West, !"
said Mr.. Dspew, going as far as Denver
via Omaha. We shall visit Leadville and
return via Kansas sCity-meyely tour of
observation, that is all. We shall complete
it aud be back in New York cne week from
next Saturday night"
Concerning his arrest in connection with
the tunnel accident on the New Haven road
in New York City, MIR. Depew said: ''The
case will be useful in this way: 1t will set
tie whether director of an interstate road
can be convicted for disobeying the laws of
State through which the road runs while
he obeys the laws of another.
Hard to Obey Two Masters.
"For instance, the law of New Haven de-
clares that certain kind of heater shall be
used. In New York the Law says that roads
of so miles in length shall not use that
kind. Rather hard To obey both. 1t is the
same as if tour OF the eight States through
which the road runs should compel one
kind of heater to be used and the other four
make It misdemeanor to use it. A di-
rector on such road would have to be in
prison and out of it all the time unless he
were cut In pieces"
Referring to his reported jocular remarks
about the accident, Mr.. Depew said: at
is mistake to think 1 made them with
reference to the victims. Despite great
feeling that is growing to the contrary, a
railroad manager does not like an accIjent,
and he is as sensitive as anybody over the
sutferings of the wounded. To Judge from
what some people say, one would think like
nothing SO much as an accident. How foolish
We never have an accident of Importance on
