OPERATOR ASLEEP.

Moberly, No., Sept. 24.-After
hearing the story of M. Brown,
the Paris, Mo-, operator, who fell
asleep while the message giving
the train orders was being trans
mitted to his Office, the Coroner's
jury today reached a verdict hold
ing Brown to blame for the head
on Katy fast freight collision here
yesterday, in which four train
men lost their lives and as many
more were seriously injured.
Brown was released by Prosecnt-
ing Attorney j. w. Wright upon
his own recognizance. The Pros
ecuting Attorney will peruse the
statutes before fling information.
Brown arrived from Paris this
morning with the Constable who
served summons upon him TO APP
pear here before the Coroner's
jury. Brown admitted to the jury
that he had been asleep when No.
433, westbound, passed thru Paris,
that he did not hear the orders
until it was too late to warn the
crews of the onrushing trains of
their danger.
Brown told OF the horror that
seized him as he realized that IL
was but question of time until
the trains would probably crash
into each other. His only hope
was that the engineers would sight
each other on a straight stretch OF
track. The trains met on a sharp
curve.
Brown told the Coroner's jury
that he assumed the entire blame
for the wreck. He came here pre-
pared to furnish bond in any
amount. should the prosecuting
attordey file upon him for tbs
lives Of the four trainmen
Mexico Missouri message., 1907-09-26
BOTH HAD RIGHT OF WAY.

The trains met on a sharp curve
about a mile aud a half east OF
here, giving neither train crew an
opportunity to adjust the brakes
and slacken speed. Both trains
were running at high speed, each
crew believing that it had the
right of way. Fireman Anderson
saved his life by jumping.
Train No. 433. westbound. was
not given train orders at Paris,
Mo. It is for this reason that
the Paris operator has been sum
mOned before the Coroner. No.
1873 carried orders to meet No.
444, eastbOund, at Moberly. Be-
fore No 433 reached Paris orders
were dispatched there for 1t to
await the arrival of the eastbound,
These orders, the trainmen say,
were not delivered. The east
bound freight consisted Of an en-
CINE, tender and a caboose. The
westbound carried nine cars.

Now that Charles E. Perkins, for

lington & Quincy railroad has passed
away, Charles G. Dawes. who was
comptroller of the currency in 1898
has made public the fact that it was
Mr.. Perkins to whom the following
reference was made in an article pub

in the issue dated Sept. 20, 1902:
"One of the most pleasing exper-
fences in connection with my admin

Ter of the currency that snow recall,

bank and this may have influenced
some persons to become depositors
Because of that possibility | have de-
termined to step in and save the de-
positors and other creditors from loss,
provided the other shareholders, with
out expense to them, will consent to
arrangements necessary to an equita-
BILE execution of this plan. And now,
with this explanation of the situation,
| desire to learn what is your official
view of the matter
Though | knew this man to be of
large fortune, he was not classed
among the multi-millionaires, and the
plan which he proposed involved the
immediate use of very large amount
of ready money-not far from 100000
Before he was through with the pro-
ject, as | recall it, he voluntarily took
upon himself the losses of others to
the extent of nearly 100000, and
all because his fine sense of personal
honor would not let him see deposit
ors suffer loss by the failure of an
institution with which, even without
his knowledge, at first, his name had
been associated The gentleman who
did this has not expected, asked or re-
ceived public credit for his action, and
some years have now passed since
these occurrences. He is a modest
man and no doubt has found his full
reward in the consciousness of duty
well done. But | do hope he may read
this and know that in the annals of
the comptroller's Office there has been
no more conspicuous instance of fidel.
lily to a semi-public trust, and that
among the few of us who knew he had
voluntarily taken upon himself the

ways stand as one of natures true
