CALERO ACCUSES URRUTIA
Files Charges in Congress
Against Mexican Minister.
GBy Cable TO The Tribune. J

Mexico City, Sept. Elm spite OF oficiS
denials and a denial by Senator Casro
himself, Il is certain that the Senator was
under arrest for several hours on Thurs
day. Senator Calero. who under Presi.
dent Msdero was Minister OF Foreign Re-
latons and later ambassador at Wash
inston. has filed charges before the
standing committee OF Congress against
DIR. Aureliano Urrutia. Minister OF the In
terror. who WAS responsible for Calero's
arrest. These charges will be taken up BY
Congress when IL meets in the middle CT
the present month. and that body will
peaching Urrutia.
The feeling here is that while the peo-
pie are willing TO give the government
considerable latitude in its measures for
the restoration OF peace, the admlnistra-
ton must be careful not 10 make too
large n draft on public rorbearance. The
arrest Of Calero is regarded as contrary
TO the clearest precepts OF the law, when
give him immunity as a member OF the
Senate.
Calero has generally been charged with
political nckleness After holding once
under Madero he broke with the latters

STEAMER Of NEW HAVEN
SUBSIDIARY ON SHOALS
MiddIetoWn, OF Hartford Line.
Goes Aground Far Out
of Her Course.
TUG TAKES PASSENGERS
Panic on Boat Among $50
Travellers, Many of Whom
Chose Water Route, Fear
ing Railroad Dangers.

The steamer Middletown, of the Hart
ford Line. ran two miles out Of her course
early yesterday morning, although the
weather was clear and struck shoals. II
was several hours before the go panic
stricken passengers were taken on ooa'd
the steamer Bridgeport. Most Of these
passengers had decided to take the water
route because OF the accident on the New
York, New Haven & Hartford line Tues
day, only to use line controlled by the
same company and encounter danger,
anyway.
The explanation OF the accident which
was given out at first was that the vessel
had run aground in fog, but this was
contradicted later. According TO passen'
gers, not only was there no fog. but the
lights from all neighboring shoals and
points could be plainly seen They said
the vessel would never have gone OH the
shoals, which are off the harbor of Nor
walk. II she had not been out OF her
course. How this happened has not been
explained by the company officials, as
they are awaiting report from Captain
Hi of the stranded steamer.
The passengers said that when they
reached the deck, a few minutes after the
ship struck. they could see the lights on
Peck's Ledge. Green Ledge and other
more distant points. When the vessel
struck the reef many travellers were
thrown from their berths and there was
a wild scramble to get on deck. The
stewards told every one to put on life pre-
servers.
The officers. when they learned the real
cause OF the trouble. went among the
frightened people and assured them that
there was 10 danger.
The tug Spartan came alongside at
dawn and at o'clock the passengers
were transferred. Two hours and half
later the steamer Bridgeport. In the
charge OF Captain Joseph. L. Hancour''
took the passengers off the tug.
Captain Hancourt of the Bridgeport said
the vessel must have been at least
couple OF miles out of her course.
She struck an unlighted island he
said. between Peck's Ledge Light and
Green's Point Light ! don't know no"

Light at Banjo 49," Wit

IRON stan correspondent OF Inc iil"ui'''I
New Haven, Sept 6.-The investigation
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
of the wreck at New Haven ended to-
day. and Commissioner McChord and his
associates started on an afternoon train
for Washington. They will have their re-
port ready by the middle Of next week.
one of the Investigators said.
1t is believed the blame for the wreck,
which resulted in the death OF twenty
one passengers and the injury Of many
more. will be laid upon the management
OF the road and the Anticipated banjo
signal system in operation on the spring
Stamford branch
Augustus b. Miller, the engineer whose
train. the White Mountain Express, tore
through two of the Pullman cars on the
Bar Harbor special and turned third
over on it's side, corrohOrated the stories
told by others OF his having done two
mems work during the week ending with
the wreck, stories that were denied by
officials Of the New Haven.
Brakeman Was Not 81.
The first witness, Frank c. Stanley.
brakeman on the wrecked Bar Harbor
train, told the investigators he was not
twenty-one years of age when ne went
into the New Haven's employ last May,
despite the rule of the road that no train
men shall enter its service before they
are twenty-one.
Stanley also testified that the Bar Har-
Dor train passed the red light at Banjo
% at Talcott's Crossing, before 1t came
TO a stop. The federal investigators main
tain the Bar Harbor train should not
have crossed Banjo 20 when 1t showed
the danger signal. According TO their
contention, had the train stopped Banjo
q, at Walnngford, would have shown
red. Miller would have stopped his train
there and the wreck might not have oc-
Cured.
