RESPONSIBILITY
Rio Grande Officials to Hold
Investigation Regarding
Wednesdays Wreck.
NOTHING in STOPPED WATCH
1t Is Declaed Timepiecc May Have
Run Few Minutes After
Impact of Fan.

While the work of clearing m tba
wreckaga and debris of yYednesaoy,s
wreck at Jordan Narrows Is going on,
steps have also been Instituted by the
management of tho Rio Grande railroad
to locate the responsibility for the aw-
1lil casualty. General Supt. Ernest
Stenger OF the railroad is now at Tho
scene of the wreck, and ii was there
fore impossible to get an Interview With
lin on the subject. But from nj mar
can be ascertained, the responsibilitv
LOT the wreck probably lies between the
train crews of both freight trains which
met IN head-on collision.
according to the facts obtainab,e
from railroad sources, the wreck oo-

Iholnas LOFTS in charge Lofts had a

should have done i they had compiled

they We're due to leave Extra west
NO. ll54 met them about $500 feet east
of the cast switch at divers at 22T
q. M, thus making the engineers and
conductors of both trains to degree
responsible for the collision The or
ders appear to have all been regular:
both trains had their orders straight
and had they been strictly observed,
the accident, IT is claimed, could not
occurred as the superior train, En-
tsinGGr LOFTS, had Ave minutes to the
good. and the extra train had orders
to clear into the switch five minutes
ahead of the castbound No. g. The
extrn should have cleared at 2:25, but
not have left divers until $3.50. but
struck the extra at 1927. Railroad Of
ficiIls claim that the fact that Lofts
watch stopped at 1886 indicates nothing
as to the time the wreck occurred, as
the watch may have run q few min
utes after the impact OF the fall.
EcNever, it is impossible to fix ex-
1rophe. TWO OF the tiremen who were
IN the wreck are now in the hospital.
and the final investigation cannot be
held Until they are able to get out
aud mako their statements. Then
there might be developments which VIII
show an entirely different situation to
have existed to that now believed to be
the case. and the railroad officials are
not anxious to place responsibility be-
fore full and complete investigation
Is made. 1t appears that all the men
had full and absolute confidence in the
engineers on the two freight trains.
Botn Engineer McAlee and Engineer
LOFTS We're old men in the service of
the road. and were trusted implicitly
by the operating officials, and the fact
that the wreck occurred is deeply de-
TlGred by the railroad officials, al
though they feel that had the orders
given beer implicitly obeyed. the acct
dent would not have happened.
