 the Fatal Crash.

Champaign, H., Jan g 3-Although no decision was reached today by the boafd of inquiry into the recent dis. astrous wreck on the Illinois Central railroad at Kinmundy, Ill, enough evidence was obtained to indicate that responsibility for the accident was dne more to human fallibihty than to mechanical devices. The inquiry Is being conducted by a joint board composed of representatives of the state, the railroads and the interstate Commerce Commission and technical experts Further hearings probably will be held in Chicago tomorrow
 Testimony of trainmen showed that the Panama Limited. which ran into the private car Of Second Vice Presi. dent r. o. Melcher, of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad, in which he, with tormer President T. T. Harahan Of the Illinois Central, and two other railway men were killed, was following the New Orleans E2- press, to which the car was attached, close for safety It was testified that only five minutes intervened while they were supposed to be run ming 10 minutes apart on the sched- ule,"
 The theory that defective air brakes on the Limited was the chief cause, was exploded by the testimony of Engineer Stuart, who declared the brakes on his engine and train were working perfectly. He was borne out in this by other members of the train aravs

 He said he did not worry, as he had confidence in the flagtnan He was astounded to learn later that the flag man had been not gone back more than sixty feet when the crash came.
 Harry J. Boecker. the flagmau said:
