AIR BRAKES SAID
To BE THE CAUSE
Management of Saltair Road
Concludes Investigation
of Collision.
MAIN QUESTIONS
REMAIN UNANSWERED
No One Was Responsible, Ac-
cording to Report of
Investigators.

| The investigation into the cause of
| tho hcad-ou collision on the SaltaIr
| railroad on July "a has been comnleted
and j. E, Langford, lessee of the re.
sort and railroad, is quoted as asying
"lt was impossible to place the re-
dividual, as defect in the air brakes
was the cause of the accident and
that the switch was found to have
been placed all right.
No doubt seemed 10 ever exist that
the AIR brakes were defective. From
the first that has been assigned as the
primary cause of the collision. The en-
glncer has been quoted as saying that
there was no air on the train except on
the engine, but the question TO he
solved was; Who was responsible for
the lack of air 10 operate the brakes ?
If, as stated by many of the passengers,
there was u failure 10 connect the air
couplings with the engine before the
train lert the beach, then some one was
responsible for that neglect, Did the
engineer test the alrbrakes after hc
pulled out from the depotl II he did
and they were in working order then
the one whose duty it was to make the
coupling at the beach is absolved, and
another cause must be sought If he
did not, and there is no intention to fix
the responsibility on him, then, of
course, he could not say whether or not
all was IN working order when he left
the beach
Was the Switch Closed?
1t has been pointed out that If the
ar connection was severed after the
train left the beach the train would
have stopped, but that such an acci-
dent did happen has never been put
forward strongly, so that evidently this
as cause was eliminated from the cal
culntions.
On the other hand, if the switch was
all right, If 1t was open, then the ques-
tion arises. Why did the train fail to
take the switch7 Was it travelling un-
der such high head of steam that it
jumped the switch and then followed
the collision? Engineer Built, who was
at the throttle on the engine coming
from the beach, claims that he did not
have I" free SWITCH and that 1T was
not open 10 receive his train, so eyi-
IDENTIFY ii was not "all right
These are some OF the main ques-
tions involved as 10 the cause of the
accident and who is responsible for the
same but if they have been answered
satisfactorily the fact has not been dis.
closed by the management, who con
Quoted the investigation, and the pub
lie remains totally in the dark as TO
the investigation of the main questions
at issue, and TO the outsider the in
vestigation appears to have been bar
rem and without result.

VAN wYks CONVICTED.
Found Guilty of Numbering Mrs. Van
Wyk's Sister.

Denver.-A dispatch from wray,
Colorado, November 23rd says: After
celebrating for nearly twenty-four
hours. the jury in the case of Gerrit
Van Wyk and his wife, Wourtheje Van
Wyk, this morning at 1880 brought in
its verdict finding the two defendants
guilty of the murder of Gerretje
Hast. The verdict read;
Guilty as to both, with penalty of
life Imprisonment" Thus ends the
murder trial that has held the atten-
ton of the people of the state for sew
eral days.
For the first time since the begin
ming of this remarkable trial the two
defendants showed more than pass
ing interest in the proceedings in the
court room. Mrs. Van Wyk collapsed
when she heard the reading of the ver-
dict and creid out continually that she
was innocent of the killing of her sis
ter, Miss Hast.
Il did not do it," she cried, land
do not know who did it. What will
happen to my children and baby?" Van
,Nyk himself did not give vent to any
spoken expression, but the lines of his
lace were drawn and he was pale. AS
the jury left the court room, Van Wyk
turned to one of them, Claude Terb-
bett. and said:
Shame, and you pretend TO be an
honest man."
Isaac Pelton, attorney for the de-
Tense, as soon as the verdict was an
nounced, asked for an arrest of sem
tence and time in which to file a mo-
ton for new trial. He was given tif-
teen days in which to prepare his mo
ton.
The Van Wyks were charged with
the murder of Gerretje Hast, the sis
ter OF Mrs. Van Wyk, December eth
last The dead body of the young
woman was found in her lonely cabin
on the plains. a4d the Van Wyks were
ARE sted and charged with the crime.
The testimony showed, among other
t...ngs. that the Van Wyks held an in
surance policy on the life of the Hast
girl for $4,000. This, the prosecution
said. furnished the motive for the
crime.

A DOCTORS TRIALS.
He Sometimes Gets. Sick Like Other
People,

Even doing good to people is hard
work If you have too much of 1t to do.
No one knows this better than the
Woodworking. conscientious family
doctor. He has troubles of his own
often gets caught in the rain or snow,
or loses so much sleep he sometimes
gets out of sorts. An overworked
Ohio doctor tells his experience:
About three years ago as the result
of doing two mems work, attending a
large practice and looking after the
details of another business, my health
broke down completely. and / was lit
tie better than a physical wreck.
81 suffered from indigestion and
constipation. loss of weight and appe-
title, bloating and pain after meals,
loss of memory and lack of nerve
force for continued mental applica-
ton.
II became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tatiol during the first hour of two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit. got more satisfaction from it
than from anything had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use. adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and sprinkle Of
salt or sugar.
my improvement was rapid and
permanent In weight as well as in
physical and mental endurance. In
word I am filled with the joy of nv-
ing again, and continue the daily use
of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often

Reception Was Costly.

Mrs. Augustus Heaton, OF Washing
ton, some time ago changed from the
Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic
church and by way of celebrating
the event decided to give a reception
in honor of the bishop of her diocese.
She decided. however. that her already
famous drawing-room was not sufii-
GENTLY Respondent to serve as place
of reception for the bishop who was to
come and congratulate her. There
was yet time in which to make the
room more attractive and Nine. Hea-
ton, with true artistic taste. had
everything taken out Of the room ex-
cept the old furniture and few art
objects. The walls before had been
covered with tapestry. but that was
not enough for reception for the
bishop. After much thought she
finally decided on drab silk wall COW
ering. What with this and other ex-
tensive changes in the room without
the purchase OF furniture Mrs. Hea-
ton got rid of $4,000.
