PUBLIC SERVICE FINDINGS
State Commission Convinced That
Some One Lies In Lynch Case

State Commission convinced mat
Some One Lies in Lynch Case
New York, May 26.-The public ser
vice commission has Issued orders for
the elimination Of grade crossings at
Brighton, Sheldon, Sharon and Char.
lotte.
In the matter Of the fatal accident
to Il. W. Skeels and Michael Malone
near Fair Haven on December 8, when
a westbound freight train collided
with another westbound freight, the
commission says that the engineer OF
No. "a was negligent in not keeping a
proper lookout for the fagman. The
commission also suggests that there
should be a passing track at that sta
ton.
The commission says in regard to
the fatal accident to Daniel FitZsim-
mons at Fair Haven on January 20
that while holding wire alive
through the transformer his other
hand came in contact with the feeder
wire, forming a current through his
body to the transformer and line.
In the derailment of the Barre &
Montpelier Traction & Power com
pany's car at Barre February q, the
commission is unable to'hnd or fix up
on the real cause Of the accident
In regard to the fatal accident to
NJ. j. Lynch at West Hartford on De
cember 10, the commissioners are EN-
| barrassed about the conflicting testi'
mony between the engineer and brake
man. They state I'VE have an opin-
ion as to the real truth OF the matter;
one of them lies, we are well
satisfied OF that, but we do not feel
that confidence about that matter that
warrants us in finding which is the
liar"
The commission also finds that
neither the conductor nor Mr. Lynch
was at all 70 blame Mr. Lynch, we
think was in the line of his duty; fol-
he would naturally want to see to il
that the brake beam was adjusted Sc
as not 10 drag and damage the road
bed and probably that was precisely
what he was doing If we knew, OF
felt we'll enough convinced ito an
nounce whether Il is the engineer OF
the brakeman who is lying as &c
what the brakeman said, the blame
could be easily fixed AS it is. We
leave the matter on the above findings
without further comment"

Senate Fixes June II to Pass Upon
Amendment 10 Constitution.
Washington, May 26-By unani-
nous consent the Senate this after
noon agreed to vote on the resolution

cess in obtaining the agreement came
as a surprise, because DO was thought
that the unyielding opposition OF his
colleague, Mr. Hepburn, TO the pro-
posed change would make a vote inn
possible without a test OF endurance,
In the course of a colloquy on the
subject however, it developed that
Mr. Heyburns great anxiety was TO

procity, which is. apt to reach the
Senate next week AS he opposes

| date being fiXed-as late as he could
force his colleague TO agree to-with
the stipulation that the resolution still
be kept before the Senate as uniinish-

it regardless of other matters
In that case said Mr. Stone, a

And that is just what we want re-

Mr. Heyburns position, however,
really changes matters but slightly.

all subjects, regardless OF the calen-
dar and they will be made on recipro-

changeably. according to the within Of

activities we're in the capacity OF law
yers for the farmers The inquiry also
was arranged for the purpose OF as
pertaining whether the members Of
this firm had been engaged to manu-
facture opposition to the Canadian
bill
The summons was issued at the re-
quest of Senator Stone of Missouri,
who said he wanted TO question the
gentlemen as 20 their methods of pro-
noting legislation His first motion
was that they be subpoeuaedt appear
before the committee, but he modified
this when 1T was suggested that IT
Nigh be better FIRST to request their
presence. He asked that they be told
to bring with them all papers ana cor
respondence that might have bear
ing ON the matter
"This firm is not licensed or practis
ing lawyers" said Senator Stone, but
