No Final Hearing.

Hugh 3. Baron OF Philadelphia, who
fled the charges on which Pratt and the
5000 other Philadelphia street car ner
were expelled from the union, then at
tempted TO explain that Pratt had been
given several hearings before the general
executive board and other labor organ
jzations. He was interrupted by \. n
Kempton Of Salt Lake chairman OF the
meeting who said
But he was not given a hearing be-
court of last resort. Our constitution
provides that such an appeal be made
and that a hearing be granted The con-
stltution was dlsregarded, debate cut off,
and a hearing denied"
Concluding his address. Merrill made an
appeal for calm consideration. He said:

THREE EMPLOYEES
HELD RESPONSIBLE
Conductor, Engineer, Flag
man Blamed by Coroner
for New Haven Horror.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Sept. 5,-Thret
employees Of the New York, New
Haven e. Hartford railroad are held
by Coroner Eli Mix to be criminally
responsible for the disastrous wreck at
North Haven on September Q, when the
White Mountain express plunged
through the second section Of the
standing Bar Harbor express, exactlng
toll of twenty-onc lives,
The coroner's finding was filed today,
after he had conducted 'fprivatc -
inquest,
Augustus B. Miller, engineer OF the
White Mountain express, and Bruce {.
Adams and Charles Fl. Murray; con.
ductor and fagman, respectively, OF
the Bar Harbor train.
The coroner neither blames nor alb
solves the New Haven road. He finds
the signals were in perfect working
order, "and whether the banjo signals
are observable or not the. accident
would have been prevented it the com
pany's rules had not been violated.
Makes Sorry Record.
He declares the number of violations
of rules by employees 'makes sorry
record
Engineer Miller was arrested on
bench warrant this afternoon and
pleaded not guilty before the superior
court. Bench warrants have been is,
sued for Adams and Murray. It is said
they will be brought into court to-
morrow.
In his finding the coroner says of
Engineer Miller:
'7Tbe lives of a large number of
people were in his care, and he was
in duty bound to take no chance and
incur no risks. Engineer Miller was
aware the late train was ahead and
that it was imperative and his duty to
have had his train under perfect con:
troll ready to stop at a signal of
danger. Miller approached the banjo
signal set at danger just north Of the
wreck at reckless rate of speed. y
Conductors Duty.
Regarding Conductor Bruce Adams of
the Bar Harbor express. Coroner Mix
says:
:fIt was clearly his duty (after the
train had been stopped) to get away
from danger at once, and clearly his
duty to have left a competent hagmaD
behind and at once proceed.
or Flagman Murray of the Bar Har-
Dor the coroner says:
"It is claimed that he did not have
time to 20 back the required distance
before being called in by signal given
by the engineer and before he could
place his torpedoes and light his fuse.
From all the testimony I find directly |
TO the contrary. lie did not go i'm
mediately out when the train came to
A stop, He did not endeavor to 60
back the required distance and he did !
not set his torpedo or light his fuses, -

cal condition threatened to become the
