TRAINMEN WORK
AZ HOURS
Discovered in Investigation Of the
Wreck at Danyille.
LONG HOURS NOT COMPULSORY

In speaking OF the evidence taken Mt
Danville in regard to the recent wreck
there, in which Engineer Kinney lost bis
life, Commissioner Stuart said that 1t
disclosed the fact that the trainmen were
often on duty as much az forty-two
hours at q time. This was not cOmpul-
sorry, however, as it is matter OF choice
on the part OF the trainsmen, who get
paid for extra work.
You can say for the commission,
said Mr. Stuart, that the culpabilty OF
each man will be fixed in the findings OF
the commission. ia man in high sta
ton shall be found to be negligent, the
report will deal with him. At the same
time. if man in humble station il blam-
able, the report viii 30 state. Simply
because a man is poorly paid or is forced
to work overtime or long hours, IL no
excuse for his violating the rules or be
coming careless
Zone TACT developed at the hearing is
that the telegraph men ore not response
bic to any one. They make no reports,
and the sheets showing the block signal
operations are not required tO be- sent TO
any one They are merely kept 10 the
office of the operators. There is no
supervision OF the men who have TO
handle the trains"

The only clue the police have is the
bottom OF the barrel on which the
stenciling oi the letters "Haney c."

belief that the barrel was either ship
ped from MahanOy city to Hazleton in
the ordinary course OF business or that
the body was sent in the barrel from
Mahanoy City to Hazleton. As no
women are reported missing from
Hazleton or the surrounding towns
the theory is strengthened that the
victim and the supposed murderer are
not from those parts.

the murdered woman was about Is

County Detective tones further said
that II is his opinion that the body
found is not that Of a HaZleton wo-
man. but that the girl was murdered
elsewhere. the body placed in a barrel
sent here and then burned. A post
mortem examination revealed the fact
that an axe or hatchet was used in
chopping around the neck to enable
the murderer to get the head into the
barrel. The legs were also broken so
that they could be forced in. Dry
spots of blood were found in the bot
tom OF the barrel. but the physicians
who examined the remains say they
cannot tell whether the murder was OF
recent date.
