to remove Judge. because such an action
would be encroaching on the coordinate

TRAIN WRECKER NAY BE KNOWN
Detectives Believe That He Threw Switch
Just Before the Filler struck II.

Detectives Believe Tnat lie TnreW SW1tcn
Just Before the Filler struck II.
CLEVELAND, June 23-H. S. Storrs, gen.
erl superintendent OF the Lake Shore
road. said tonight that he believed he knew
the man who opened the switch at Mentor
and locked it open, wrecking the Twentieth
Century Filler. Detectives OF the road
have been working hard upon the theory
that a certain man had a motive for wreck
ing the train.
1T must not be forgotten, said Storrs,
that whoever tempered with that switch
bad key. This limits the scope OF our
Investigations very materially
That D. W. Pardee is mistaken in believ-
ing the engineer Of the fer put on the
emergency brakes half mile before the
switch was reached is the opinion Of General
Superintendent Storrs.
THE place where Tyler began to throw
sand on the track tells that story" said
Storrs. THAT point is clearly peroeptible
and every one has noted it. 1t is not more
than three or four rail lengths hack OF the
switch. The inference is that it was there
that Tyler hrst saw the danger. He would,
Of course, put the emergency brakes in
opera ton and begin to throw the sand at
the same moment.
There can be no question in my mind
that the switch was opened and locked at
the last possible moment. The engineer
looked down the track and saw all white
lights. That meant that the track was
clear He reported as much in exchanging
signals with his fireman. That must have
been mile or two baok. Between that
time and the time Of the accident the switch
was thrown and locked. That could be
done in an instant if man knew how"
General Manager Marshall is OF the same
opin ion as Mr.. Storrs. He said tonight
the switch was thrown when the train was
within fve hur bred feet of it.

The decision OF the New York Central
and the Lake Shore roads to restore the old
schedule Of twenty hours between TINS
city and Chicago for the Twentieth Century
Limited as a result of the wreck at Mentor
Ohio. will neceesitate the making up OF an
entirely new time table, which Is hard

The new tins table will take at least a

While the twenty hour schedule was not
s,,pposed to begin until yesterday, as a
matter Of fact President Newman gave
orders that the trains which left New York

the decision to change the time was made
should be held back en- route. The result
