BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-'Ihe
wooden car peril" is TO be prooed
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The terrible sacrifice OF human
life yesterday In che latest New Haven
wreck spurred interstate commerce
commission today to set in motion its
inouisitorial powers. The commission
has long condemned the antique
wooden car as a menace to the saiety
of the travelling public. With legis-
lators stirred by the most recent cat
astrophe directly traceable to the
use of such equipment and the con-
viction that Congress would shortly
enact laws prohibiting its further use
the commission proposes 10 galner al
available information
Interstate Commerce Commissioner

Richard Dean. the general manager
of the Pullman Company at Chicago
as follows "

date showing number of cars used In

such cars of wooden construction, OF

derframe construction. Also number
of cars now under construction and

Another point we will endeavor &c
ascertain" said the commissioner. Is
why the Pullman Company IS UNLOAD
ing lis wooden sleeping cars on th'
lines Of the New York, New HaVel
and Hartford Company. Other rail
roads have been enabled TO discard
the dangerous wooden Pullman
equipment. Why hasn't the New
Haven road?"
every time we have opened oui
mouths" continued McChord, I'VE
have cited the wooden car evil, sug
eested reforms and even legislation
Every report on almost any wrecl

forcefully the imperative necessity o

the more antiauated wooden cars
