NORTHERN PACIFIC is SCORED
Report of the Committee Of Ek Appointed to investigate the
Cause of the Wreck of the Excursion Train
Last August

Of the Northern Pacific railroad the
day Of the disaster We're either unwill-
ing, unable or incompetent to render
the prompt service which the occur
renee at Napavine demanded; the con-
dition of the car containing the wound
ed and suffering at Kalama was in
eXcusable. and we condemn the action
of the official in charge of the station
and telegraph office at Napavine as a
monumental instance Of Indifferent Of
hcialism.
In closing its report the committee
desires to express its regret that Broth
er A. D. Charlton assistant general
passenger agent of the Northern Pa
citic railroad, was not in the city the
day of the accident We are convinced
that had he been in Portland or any
where upon the main line of the road
conditions after the accident would
have been different and much suffering
and anguish Of mind saved to all con-
CeTned."

report today. The report says:
We find that the engine pulling the
excursion train was not a hrst-class en-
CINE; that the engineer and fireman
were both extra men, neither ever be
fore having run the engine.
we find that the cause of the acct
dent was low water in the boiler: that
the inJectors were not working perfect

crown sheet, which broke or exploded
and dropped down, blowing out the
CRATE bars, ash pan, etc, which OBJ
