TWO OPERATORS MAY HAVE ERRED Superintendent Lee Offers Three Theories on the Quebec Express
 Accident. DISPATCHER TRIED
 TO WARN TRAIN Confident That No Mistake Was Made in Recover ing or Verifying
 Order.

Concord, N. H, Sept. 24-It is pos sible that the mistakes of two opera tcrs caused the head-on crash of the Quebec southbound express and a freight train on tine Boston & Maine railroad at West Canaan on Septem- Der 15, by which twenty-six persons lost their lives and as many more were injured, according to the testimony of General Superintendent Charles E. Lee, who was one of the principal wit nesses at an inquiry held by the state railroad commission in this city to- day.
 Mir. Lee said that there were three theories to account for the wreck. First, that the train order sent from Concord to the operator at Canaan to hold the freight train was correst, that the Canaan operator received the order wrong and sent it back correctly; sec ond that the operator made no error and that the dispatcher made two er- TOTS inside of a minute; third, that they both made a mistake, the Canaan operator emitting the word four in re- ceiving 1t and the dispatcher automati- cally checking the "34," the number of the Montreal express, when it came back to him "30," the number of the Quebec express.
 The superintendent was followed by James A. Crowley, the Concord train dispatcher. He stated that he knew the accident would occur, short time
 before the crash came. He called up Canaan to notify the freight train that the train order signal at Lebanon was out of order He was then informed by Canaan that the freight train had already left the latter station. Crowley testified that he was conf dent he had made no error in sending the order to the freight train or in re- ceiving 1t back for verifcation. The next witness was Operator John s. Greeley of Canaan. He Identified the fatal order as taken by him and transferred in duplicate to the crew of the freight train. The order showed the transposition of figures, but he de- clared the order was the same as he received 1t and repeated it back to Concord. f,,...g,....
