had been set for today, would be taken
up. Delegates favorable to other cit

selection, however. While the friends

While Speed Had Nothing to Do With

Too Great.

necessity of the 1S-hour trains, al
though the heads of the operating de-
partments. including such old railroad
men as General Manager Bradfield and
General Superintendent A. H. Smith,
told him in their opinion that the
schedule was a safe one. President
Newman declared a 2O-hOur schedule

was put in force last Sunday:

New York, June 22.-To the Press
and the Public: Since the sad acci.
dent which happened on the Lake
Shore l have had a consultation with
the operating officials, who have ex,
planned that the accident was caused
by misplaced switch and not due to
the speed of the train. They assure
me the present schedule can be safely
and easily maintained. While l agree
with the operating officials that there
is no physical reason why the schedule
should not be continued. nevertheless,
in my judgment, the Twentieth Cen
tury Limited should be restored to 20
hours. and it will be done at once.
