SEVEN ARE KILLED

WESTPORT, CONN., Special.
Today's preliminary investigation
into the wreck on the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road, i'm which seven persons were
killed and tVFO-score manned,
placed the blame entirely on the
shoulders of George l.. Clark, the
engineer, who was killed.
BARLEY Gordon, foreman OF the
construction gang, under exami-
nation by Coroner Phelan, stated
with emphasis that he believes the
engineer was either dead or un-
conscious : minutes before his
train took the switch of the cross
over, and charged that If the man
was not he had deliberately skip
ped two danger signals, set against
him, 1000 and 5000 feet apart.
Every one of the officials of the
road tried to bar newspaper men
= from the session.
Coroner Phelan refused abso-
luteIy to abide by the wishes OF
the railroad officials and ordered
the hearing open.
The hearing was held in q
freight shed adjoining the West
port Station. A jury was sum-
moned, the coroner declaring that
he would not empaneI one at this
time nor at the regular inquest,
which is set for tomorrow. - .
Gordon was the only witness
called. He had been employed
by the road for eight eyars and
has had charge of construction
gangs most of that time.

PELLEGRA STILL
A MYSTERY TO
INVESTIGATORS
Experts Confess That They
Cannot FathOm Origin of
the Disease.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-After four
and half months studying pellagra
in South Carolina. the Thompson
MacFadden pellagra commission re-
ported today that while its data on the
epidemology of the disease was the
most complete ever obtained, the mys-
terry enveloping the origin of the all
ment has not been dispelled. 1t will
take months to get the details into
such a shape that anything like
logical conclusion may be drawn, and
the probability is that the cause can
not positively be determined without
further exhaustive investigation. The
commission has only expended half of
the fund of $15, 900 donated by Colon
el Robert M. Thompson, of this city.
and John Fl. MacFadden of Philadel-
phia. For this reason second exped-
ition will be sent to the same locality
next spring
These general facts were obtained: :
1t is certain that exclusive of the
cases that have proved fatal there are
at present so, 900 persons in the south
afflicted with pellagra.
The symptoms of the disease are be-
coming less severe but the number of
cases IS not decreasing
The ailment, which formerly was al
most exclusively confined to the poorer
classes, probably on account of their
generally unfortunate surroundings, is
spreading more and more among those
that are more prosperous.
