BLOCK SYSTEMS WORKINGS.
Commerce Commission Charges Wrecks to
Laxity of Operation.

Washington, Feb 23.-The Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day sent to the Senate exhaustive
report concerning the Investigations made Of the
workings Of the block system TO prevent railroad
accidents. The commission recommends the pass
age OF a bill which ii submitted a year ago that
would compel an railroads 70 adopt the system
but suggests that the time for compliance with
compulsory features be extended three four years
The report estimates that il would take from one
three years for all roads to become equipped
with the block system, the difference In time de-
pending the time required to train operators
and for manufacturers TO supply the apparatus
needed
Whether a law is passed at the present session
or not the commission asks that 1t be authorized
10 make an official investigation OF all train acct
dents. Reference Is made to the investigation of
the recent wrecks the Southern and the BaltI-
more Ohio railroads both of which have the
block system. Although these Investigations are
not complete the commission says the wrecks
ca nnot be charged 10 failure OF the block system
but rather 10 laxity OF operation.
There are 48 743 miles of railroads operating
trains under the block system of which 6.S27
automatically operated and 49l6 controlled by man
uai apparatus. The report deals with methods en-
pIoyed. kinds Of apparatus in use. the merits of
different methods and devices, the economy of the
block system and it's value safeguard for lives
and property. No effort is made, however to de-
eide which Is the best OF the various kinds Of ap
paratus nor does the commission urge that the
automatic systeEns be demanded at this time

Mr. Wheeler Immediately after his failure formed

The National Tradesman Bank held that the

company's bankruptcy, amounting to about s., 600

STEEL TIES BLAMED.
officials Scout Theory, Houerer-
Wreck on Experimental Track.


Johnstown. Penn. Feb 23.-Despite the most
rigid investigation by railroad officials from
Pittsburg, Altoona and Conemaugh no definite
decision has Yet been reached as to the cause
of the wreck at Mineral Point last midnight
when the Pennsylvania Special plunged into the
Conemaugh River That the threescore pas
sengers are still living is considered one of the
miracles of railroading
Experienced employees here say that the wreck
was caused by the steel ties that are in use as
an experiment on that section of the road These
ties begin within one rail length of the place
where the flyer left the track They gave way
under the sudden pulling and dragging as the
cars were jolted over the roadbed. and are to-
day twisted masses of iron that look like the
roots Of certain trees. After walking over the
entire distance covered by the Limited before
the engineer stopped his huge mogu your cor
respondent can state that every steel tie is
twisted two three times.
These steel ties have never been usd in this
section before this year. and they are already
being roundy criticised by trainmen. The bolts
that held the rails were torn out in almost every
case. These ties ten by three inches. the
narrow portion being the section TO which the
rail is fastened. The remainder of the beam is
imbedded in ballast. The bolts were sheared,
and. with nothing TO hold them, the rails spread.
lhe mercury was below zero last night and the
temperature would have a great effect on the
steel if any defect whatever existed. The fact
that there is a curve al Mineral Point is to be
added TO the list Of possible causes of the wreck
as the sharpest angle comes near the point where
the engine was stopped. There the line veers
a little 10 the right and toward the river just
above where the PuIlmans are. Here In Johns
town the Pennsylvania Company is being crti-
cised for testing the steel rails a grade
and a curved road. Others go further and say
the McCrea road should not have steel ties any
where.
The site selected for this two mile "tryout' Of
the steel contrivance is on down grade from
the top of the Allegheny Mountains. is always
within fifty feet Of the Conemaugh and has
five within its limits
Pittsburg officials laughed at this theory as
TO the cause of the wreck and repeatedly said
the cause was made known first, the drop
ping Of a brake beam under the tender Charles
Hoover. Of Greensburg. and Michael Burke OF
Franklin, brakemen, were arrested to-day for
looting the wrecked cars. They had hundreds
