result of the wreck near New Haven,

sion into any railroad catastrophe.
This was announced last night by
H. w. Belnap, chief inspector of the
commission, who arrived here yester-
day. Commissioner McChord will pre-
side. Mr.. Belnap said the inquiry
would get down to fundamentals"
and determine what causes in the
general operation and management of
the road were responsible for the
series of fatal wrecks which have af-
AAS@SN Nhc ANcN maven lOI Tue last TWO
or three years, eliminating in Tues
days, the most disastrous of all.
Until the Interstate Commerce Com
missions witnesses tell their story, the
official explanation given out by the
company will be the only version Of
the causes of the wreck available
Coroner Mix persisted in refusing to
make public the testimony of Engineer
Miller Of the White Mountain Express,
which crashed into the Bar Harbor
train, or of Flagman Murray of the
latter train, both of whom he examin-
ed in a preliminary investigation. This
attitude also was taken by c. c. Ell
well, chief engineer of the Connecticut
Public Utilities Commission, who at
tended the hearing.
The coroner will begin today his
formal inquest to fix, he said, "the
criminal responsibility" but this also
will be a private affair.

tons from Commissioner McChord
Mr.. Belnap demanded that he be al
lowed to be present at the inquest. To
this the coroner acceded and promls-
ed him a copy of testimony already
taken.
President Elliott last night declared
that as far as he was concerned he was
perfectly willing for the testimony to
become public. but had refrained from
giving 1t out In Difference to the cor
oner.

the deposed king of Portugal, were
married with the rites of the Catholic

performed. The other guests, includ-

salons. and halls through which

up from the enormous crowd that
thronged the vicinity of the castle. In
response, the newly-married pair ap-
