Failure Of Three Men to Heed Sig.
nal Cause Of the Wreck.

Washington, sept. 9.-Failnre of three
men on locomotive to observe and
need a signal that stood against tie
advance Of their train. was the cause,
according To a report issued. today,
by ehe Interstate Commerce Commits
sion of d rear-end collision between
two passenger trains on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. on July 30. at Tyrone.
Pa The accident resulted in the death
of ore employee and the injury Of 126
passengers. 20 employees. five postal
clerks and two Pullman employees.
The trains were being operated un-
der the automatic block system A
test of the signals after the accident
showed that they We're in good work
ing condition. The report says that il
is impossible to account for the fail
ure of all three men on the engine
propery to observe the indication o
the signal and there can be no ex
cuse for such failure
4 consideration of accidents of THU
character which have occurred. with
i'm the past two years" says the re-
port, leads inevitably to the concur
sion that even the most complete and
modern system Of fixed signals is not
adequate under all circumstances to
secure the safe operation of trains.
This accident again calls attention To
tho necessity for some form of au-
tomato train stopping device"
The cars of both trains We're of the
all-steel type and the report says
that the substantial construction of
the modern steel ears making up these
trains is without doubt the reason
that none of the passengers were
killed"

amusement places.
That the flames did not extend fur
ther along the beach was due largely.
| in the opinion of many who watched
the fight for control, to the efforts of
two life saving crews The coast
guards of both the Newburyport and
the Salisbury Beach life-saving sta
tons, under Capt. Maddoeks and
Charles, turned fire fighters, with good
results. The spread of flame was stop

to save. but beyond which the flames
could not pass.
