PRESIDENT JoHNsoN's STATEMENT

President Johnson. of the Nassau Company.
went to the station of the Eighteenth Precinct
last evening and had long converse ton with
the motorInan, who was In 2 cell When he left
the station he announced that he would not go
on the bail bond OF the notorman. He held that
the motorman was entirely To blame for the acci-
dent and that II was caused by three remark
able errors. The first that tho motor
man in putting on the brake did not take enough
turns OF the chain To force ,he shoe against tho
wheels. Only one turn was taken. when two or
three should have been used. The chain
sound. the shoes new. and the latter. in
stead OF dropping down PARTLY under the wheels.
should have gripped them fairly. The second
error BY the motorman was in reversing the
current. 1T is well known 10 electricians. said
President johnson. that In running a car there
Is an accumulation OF electricity In the armature
which accounts for the running of car after
the power Is shut Off and the momentum OF the
would. under ordinary circumstances. have
been exhausted. The sudden reversal OF the cur
rent by the motorman helped the force Of this
drift current and Instead ~ stopping the car
been content with shutting off the power and
using his brake properly. His third error was
when he found the Roadway Of the car increas-
ing In lOosenng his brake, thinking IL would
allow the reversed current to work"

that the accident need rot to have occurred had
the car been provided with patent safety hill

travel up and down hills, as in Kansas City, San
Francisco. and Seattle. Wash.
Alice Palmer. of No. 20 Livingston-st. about
twenty years old one Of those who stuck
to the She made the statement that no
one need have been injured had they retained
presence Of mind enough To keep their places
and hang She said the only injury she re-
ceived was In being pinched by a woman whom
she had tried 10 keep on the car. Her statement
was corroborated by a number Of other passen-
gers.
Manager Coleman and Superintendent Casey
were at the scene OF the accident soon after It
occurred. doing their best to discover the cause.
One of the humors OF the Gituation II such a

after the accident. and made frantic efforts to

their denunciation Of the company. and said
they proposed to bring suits for damages without
delay
