ALL BLA.1E SHCULDERED %s
ON TO ENGINEER CURTIS
Interstate Commerce Commission Re-
port on Bridgeport Wreck.

Washington, Aug 1S.-The New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
was absolved and Engineer Curtis
blamed for the wreck of the Federal
express at Bridgeport. Conn, July Ii,
where fourteen persons were killed and
more than forty injured, in a report
today to the interstate commerce COM
mission by II. W. Belnap, chief inspec-
tor of safety appliances of the COM
mission who made an exhaustive in
vestigation Of the wreck
Engineer Curtis, who was killed in
the wreck, had been an empleye of
the New Haven road for IA years and
was regarded as a thoroughly compe-
ten5 engineer. The report says he was
familiar with the rules, tracks and
signals at the place of the accident.
The accident was caused" reports
Inspector Belnap. "by the train cross
ing from track No. to track No. 4 at
a high rate of speed, estimated at be-
tween IS and so miles an hour"
The rules of the New Haven road
required engineers to make that cross
ing at not to exceed 10 miles an hour.
The report indicates that Engineman
Curtis. who had been i'll. but appar-
emily had recovered, might have been
unconscious at the time, but any at
tempted explanation would be mere
matter of conjecture
The report recommended that auto
matte train control apparatus be pro-
ylded to insure the stopping of trains
when signals or rules were not obey ed
that switches should not be set to di-
vert high speed trains from one track
to another al any croSSover not safe
for high speed; and that approach
looking should be provided to prevent
switches from being changed from a
through route to a diverging route aft
er a train has received signals for the
through route.
