FOR LAST WRECK
! ON NEW HAVEN

Conductor Held
FLAYS ROADS DISCIPLINE
Coroner Says Latest Tragedy Would
Have Been Averted Had Rules
Been Obeyed

New Haven. Conn, Sept. 15-Three
employees of the New York, New Hay
en- and Hartford railroad were held
today by Coroner Eli Mix to be Grim
inally responsible for the disastrous

locomotive driver of the White Noun
tain express, and Bruce c Adams and
Charles II Murphy conductor and
fagman, respectively, of The Bar Har
Dor train.
The coroner neither blames nor
absolves the New Haven road for the
wreck. He finds the signals were in
perfect working order, and whether
the banjo signals are obsolete or not"
the accident would have been prevent
ed if the company's rules had not
been violated. He touches upon the
question of steel coaches and an im-
proved signal system only incidental
ly, suggesting that these matters are
not within his jurisdiction. but with
in the scope of the state public utili-
ties commission. He directs the COM
mission to investigate at once the
system of discipline, on the road and
declares the number of violations of
the rules by employees makes a sor-
ry record"
Miller was brought this afternoon
before the superior court. He plead
ed not guilty and was released in
$4,000 bonds furnished by the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers.
Bench warrants have been issued
for the arrests of Adams and Murray.

SEX SECRET IN PLANT LIFE
Sir oliver Ledge Thinks Solution
May Lie in Sap Changes at Joints

London, Sept. 16.-The secret of
the determination of sex possibly
may be found in plant life. Sir Oliver
Lodge told the British association at
its meeting in Birmingham yesterday
afternoon. Referring to the fact that
some plants produce both male and
female flowers, he said this must be
the result of some profound change
in the sap at the junction in the
stems where differently-sexed flow
ers branch away from each other.
He continued: Il do not know what
this is and the microscope tells me
nothing. Perhaps if psychologists
could find out what happens in that
little plant joint, they might get a
clew to the reason why some human
beings are born boys and others
girls"
