CARELESS FLACMAN
BLAMED FOR WRECK
Western Springs Disaster Re-
sponsibility Fixed-Engine-
man Also Criticised.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Responsibilit3
for the accident on the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad at Western
Springs, Ill, July Ia, by which IL pas
sengers and two employees were killed
and 20 passengers and two employees
injured, was placed by the Interstate
Commerce commission today upon
Flagman Woodwork. But, says Chiei
Inspector L. w. Belnap's report to the
commission, sit lies wholly within the
power of the railroad vir-
tually to put an end to from rs to 80
per cent of these narrowing disasters"
Mr.. Belnap says the accident, which
was a rear end collision. might have
been prevented had the flagman exer-
cised proper precautions in warning
the on-coming train. It is pointed out
that Woodwork did not give warning
at a sufficient distance to enable tho
engineer to stop, and gave merely q
caution signal instead of a signal tc
stop.
"A contributing cause Of the acct
dent" reports Inspector Belnap, "waa
the failure Of Engineman Brownson
properly to control the speed Of his
train n to obey the indications Of
fixed signals.
This investigation also disclosed the
fact that 1t was not an uncommon &C
currence for rains to run past sig
nails in the stop position during foggy
or stormy weather"

American league baseball team, whose

pathetic tragedy, which members OF

davit that Noyes came to his death
through having been struck down on

story is backed up by two of the Far
ragut's elevator boys
The policeman dersa~ the story and
says Moves vas injured in falling from
a car. The policeman has left Wash
ington on a cay of absence.
The valet says Noyes left his apart
ment, at Seventeenth and / streets, at
10 O'Clock the night of his death, and
walked one block. He stood whistling
when he was approached by Mundie,
who protested against the noise, 1t is
said.
Moves had a lifelong habit, known to
all his friends, of raising his hand be-
fore speaking and generally placing It
on the arm of the person addressed.
According to the Wallets aff1davit, when
addressed by the policeman, he raised
his hand and was Immediately felled
by a blow from Mundie's fist.

But Few Reductions
While in some Instance charges
would be reduced, a checking by the
commission appears to indicate that
the reductions would apply to little
more than 10 per cent of the west

furniture; Is cents on plate glass; 10
cents on petroleum products; 40 cents

stoves, and 46 cents on vehicles.
Generally, from points of irigin In

somewhat lower, although to many arr
