NEW YORK CENTRAL ACCIDENT
Blame for Tunnel Tragedy Placed
On the Ofilcials.

New York, Jan. 24.-The coroner's
investigation into the causes Of the
recent disaster In the New York Central
railroad tunnel was brought TO a close
tonight when the jury. after being out
three hours and FIVE minutes returned
a verdict completely generating John
NJ. Wisker and H. c. Fyler, the crew
OF the engine that crashed into the rear
end OF the train, causing the death OF
seventeen people. The verdict places
the blame for the conditions leading to
the accident on the officials Of the road,
Both Wlsker and Tyler were imme-
dlately discharged from custody. AZ
ter reciting the details OF the accident
and generating the train crew, the
verdict continues
I'VE further find faulty management
on the part Of the officials OF the New
York Central road, and we hold said
officials responsible for the reason that
during the past ten years said officials
have been repeatedly warned by their
locomotive engineers and other em-
ployees OF the dangerous conditions eX-
lsting In said tunnel imperiling the
lives OF thousands OF passengers, and
they have failed 10 remedy said condi-
tons and also for the reason that GER
tain improvements In the way OF both
visible and audible signals could have
been installed and the disaster thereby
have been avoided, and for the further
reason that no regulation OF speed az
which trains should have run in said
tunnel has been enforced thereby al
lowing engineers to exercise their own
discretion"

pany, the largest machinery company
in the world It's capital is s25,OOO 900.

William j. Chalmers Of Chicago Is

the result Of the consolidation Of the

the machinists, which for a time in
volVed many industrial plants through
out the country From time to time
various companies effected settlements
with their men, but the Alis- Chalmers
company has held out against the
