Washington, Sept. 9.-An urgent

arguments to show that the volume of

ENGINEERS FAULT
SAYS COMMISSION
to Observe Signal Caused Wreck, the
Department Finds.
~ AssocIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 9-Failure of
three men on a locomotive to observe
and heed a signal that stood against
the advance of their train was the
cause, according to report issued to-
day by the interstate commerce COM
mission, of a rear end collision be-
tween passenger trains on the Penn
syiy ania railroad on July 80 at Tyrone.
Pa. The accident resulted in the death
of one employe and the injury of f26
passengers twenty employees, five post
al clerks and two Pullman employees.
The trains we're being operated un-
der the automatic block system. A
test of the signals after the accident
showed that they were in good work
ing condition. The report says that it
is impossible to account for the failure
of all three men on the engine prop
erly to observe the indication of the
signal and there can be no excuse for
such failure
a consideration of accidents of this
character which have occurred within
the past two years" says the report
leads ineyita bly, to the conclusion that
even the most complete and modern
syseln of fixed signals is not adequate
under all circumstances to insure the
safe operation of trains. This accident
again calls attention to the necessity
for some form of automatic train n-stop-
ping device.'
The cars of both trains were of the
type and the report says that
the substantial construction of the
modern steel cars making up these
trains is without doubt the reason that
none Of the passengers were killed"

ANALYSIS OF
RETURNS FROM
MAINE STATE
Results Show That The
Democrats More Than
Held Their Own-Opin-
ions From Bryan and
Daniels.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Representatdve
Doremus, chairman of the democratic
congressional committee, at the White
House today analyzed the results Of
the Maine election yesterday as a dis
tinct democratic gain. Mr.. Dorenus
showed that Pattangau, the democratic
candidate, polled approximately as
great a vote as did President Wilson
IN the same district last fail
I'm district that has been always
republican" he said, having elected a
democrat only once since the civil war,
the results show that the democrats
more than held their own
5RYAN's OPINION.
Secretary Bryan attributed the re-
suit to the return of a large number of
progressives to the republican party.
He issued this statement:
"The Maine election, while disaip-
pointing in the failure to eloct our
democratic candidate. Is not at all dis
couraging when we consider the fig
ures. The democratic candidate re-
ceived within about a hundred of the
vose cast for the president last fall.
Il his is a remarkably good showing.
when we consider that it was a special
election. The republican victory was
due primarily TO the return of a large
number of progressives to the repqIb-
lfcan party. At least the republican
vote gained something over 5000 and
the progressives lost that much as
compared with the returns last fail.
''The democratic candidate, Mr. Pat
tanga1l, this morning refers to some
defections In the party. There were
two or three local influences which
tended to reduce our vote, but all
things considered, it seems to me that
the democratic vote was as large as 1t
Is reasonably could be expected as 1t
cannot certainly be construed as a dis
of the presidents adninistra-
ton or policy
DANIELS SPEAKS.
''If any one had ever told me ten
years ago" said Secretary Daniels to-
Cay, that we were going to come
within 500 votes of electing a demo-
c1at in the republican state of Maine,
I would have said he was dreamer.
II is significant that in this old Blaine
district, where the duties have been
on great many articles OF
the tariff, particularly affecting II, and
where republican attacks have de-
clared industries would be ruined, the |
democrats polled an even larger vote |
than the did in the presidential cleo |
ton. Had It not been for democratic |
defections as a result OF the bitter pri- |
mary fight, we might have obtained |
the few votes necessary TO win"
Party leaders of republican and pro- |
yressive faith also professed to see en- |
in the outcome. ReprIb-
ican leaders insisted the victory |
amounted to a repudtatfon Of the DEM
Jcratic tariff bill
