To Make the New Haven
Road Safe for
Travel
STEEL SLEEPERS
BY JANUARY l
Wreck Engineer Did Two
Mems Work for a
Week

New York, Sept. s.-The New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad is to
be made the safest railroad in the
United States" Howard Elliott, its new
ly elected head, declared in statement
issued Saturday night, sequential to the
closing day of the interstate commerce
commission investigation into the death
dealing North Haven wreck of Tuesday
morning First steps in this direction
will be taken, he said, within the next
two weeks, when the Shore Line divi
sion, on which occurred the series of
fatal wrecks during the regime of
Charles S. Mellen, will be cut in two
and placed under separate management,
in order to obtain "closer supervision
All sleeping cars that run over New
Haven rails will be steel before January
i if the Pullman company can furnish
them and rush orders have been sent
to other car builders who now have
steel cars for the company under con-
tract, calling for the expenditure of
Sc. 100000. according to the statement.
Orders, never formally issued by the
previous management, have been given,
he said, to rush work on the new signal
system to replace the old banjo" type,
charged with the responsibility for the
North Haven wreck. The sum of $685.
600 for improvement of the system be-
tween New Haven and Springfield was
voted Friday, Mr.. Elliott announced, by
the roads executive committee.
Charles S. Mellen, who is reported to
have been retained by the New Haven
in an advisory capacity, has no connec-
ton whatever with the New Haven road,
Mr.. Elliott made emphatcally clear.
"There seems to be slight misunder-
standing" he said, "as to the relations
that Mr.. Mellen has to the present man
agement. When | went to the North
ern Pacific, Mr.. Mellen very kindly told
me that he would be glad at any tim6
to give me any information that he had
concerning that property, and once or
twice / called on him. When | came
here, he very kindly made the same
offer; but he has retired from office
and has no connection directly or indi-
rectly with the present and future poll
icy; or the management of the New
Haven company or in the selection and
of any officers working for any
of those properties"

WRECK ENGINEER DID
TWO MEMS WORK
Miller Swears He Got Short Sleep in
a Bunk Before Taking Out
Fatal Train.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. S.-Engineer
| August B. Miller of the White Noun
tain express, which last Tuesday de-
stroyed twenty-one lives when it crashed
into the rear end of the Bar Harbor
express at North Haven on the New
Haven road, gave testimony Saturday at
the inquiry into the causes of the wreck
that is likely to have weight in fixing
the blame for the disaster.
Returning to the federal court room,
where the interstate commerce and the
Connecticut public utilities commissions
resumed their hearing the gaunt, swar-
thy, hollow-eyed engineer, who is out
on $4,000 bail, charged by the coroner
with having caused the death of one of
the wreck victims, rose from the witness
chair and dramatically declared that the
speed of fifty-one miles per hour, at
which he passed Wallingfords three miles
from the wreck, did not have the signifi-
canoe hitherto attached to it, as he had
braked his train twice before he saw
the red banjo signal 49, He said his
train had slowed down when he threw
on the emergency brake just before the
crash came.
Miller also swore that for week
| he had been doing the work of two men,
getting much less sleep than actually
appeared from the Official statement OF
his working hours, because he lives IN
New Haven and takes out trains from
Springfield and Stamford, entalllng
much riding on his off hours.

but she died soon after reaching shore
