DEPOT MANAGER TELLS THINGS
He Had Told Those Above Him of
the Complaints, but No Ac-
ton Was Taken in the
Matter.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The coroners
inquest to determine the responsibility for
the death of seventeen persons in the
New York Central tunnel last week was
begun today. Coroner Scholer presided
District Attorney Jerome and attorneys
representing the various interests at stake
were in attendance.
The district attorney addressed the
members of the jury, saying in part: 1T
may be that there were one or more per,
sens crlmfnally responsible for the deaths
of the victims of this disaster. It Is your
duty to say whether these victims came
to their deaths through criminal negll-
gence of some person. This is your prov.
ince and If you so beyond it you yield
perhaps to public clamor and you do not
thereby aid the cause Of Justice
William T. Devine, a passenger on the
New Rochelle train, testified that the
train had been standing still for about a
minute before the collision.
Policeman Patrick H. Fox said he asked
Wisker, engineer Of the White Plains
train, what had caused the accident and
Wisker replied 'there was train pass
ing and the smoke and steam shut off
the signals"
Damaging Admissions.
Joseph H Franklin, manager of the
Grand Central depot admitted that ne
had received many complaints from train
men regarding the signal lights in the
tunnel. These men had called his at
tention to the fact that on foggy days the
lights could be seen only very short
distance.
so. especially during the winter
months in New York" District Attorney
Jerome asked, +there are many days on
which the signals in the tunnel can be
seen only very short distance?'
Witness admitted that this was the
case. On the day of the wreck, however,
he said, he considered that conditions
were very favorable He said that 323
schedule trains ran through the tunnel
every day.
Mr.. Franklin said he was under the
orders of President Newman of the New
York Central and President Hall of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
road. He said he had spoken to them
about the tunnel lights when they had
taken him to task about trains being late.
Nothing in particular, he said, had been
done about the complaints of the enei-
neers concerning the lights.
Answering Mr.. Jerome, Manager Frank
lin admitted that the murky morning on
which the disaster occurred was the first
time Engineer Wisker had taken a pas
senger train through the tunnel.

John Loper. OF No. 297 Glenmore avenue

tective.
His accuser was Mrs. Ora Jacobs the
wife of Maurice Regal Jacobs, a Wall
street broker, living at the San Rafael

WAR WITH HOSPITAL STAFF

New York, June 10.--According TO state
ments made by Coroners Goldenkranz
and Jackson, war has been declared be-
tween the coroners office and Bellevue
hospital, the contention being over ante
mortem statements.
The trouble arose over the shooting of
James Mccoy by County Detective Nc
Lellan. Coroner Jackson was not noti-
fed until 10 hours after Mccoy had been
taken TO Bellevue that he was in Sc
rious condition. and when the coroner
first saw the injured man the latter's
condition was such that only discon-
nected statement could be obtained.
The next day Coroner Jackson looked
up the records and found that only six
cases for ante-mortem statements had
been reported from Bellevue since Jan.
J. He reported the matter to Superin-
tendent Stewart. of Bellevue.
Since then, the coroners say, they have
been called TO take statements from many
persons not seriously injured. and they
assert that these trivial calls have been
inspired by spite on the part OF members
of the hospital stan.
A LOT OF sNIPs.
Coroner Jackson said yesterday:
"Those fellows up at Bellevue think
they are smart and can trihe with the
coroners office as they please Their
action I'm reporting these trivial cases
will only tend to defeat the ends of jus
tice, for we now cannot tell whether
they are fooling us or whether they have
case that really needs our attention
IL Is evident that this is piece OF spite
work, owing to my complaint OF negli-
gence. and | shall see what steps can
be taken 10 prevent them from acting
like schoolboys instead of professional
men"
Coroner Goldkranz said:
Those doctors az Bellevue are n lot

moves when they do. but unless they
stop trying TO make a travesty Of the
coroner's office they will find themselves
