Thorough Investigation.

WASHINGTON Sept. 9. The
wooden car peril is to be probed by
the interstate commerce commission.
The terrible sacrifice OF human life
yesterday in the latest New Haven
wreck spurred the interstate com
meree commission today to set in mo-
ton its inquisitor1al powers. The
commission has long condemned the
antique wooden cars as menace to
the safety of the travelling public.
With the legislators stirred By the
most recent catastrophe, directly
traceable to the use OF such eoutD-
ment, and the conviction that con.
gress would shortly enact laws pro
hibiting It's further use, the commis.
sion proposes to gather all available
information.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
McChord began the probe By wiring
the general superintendent o, the
Pullman Co. at Chicago requesting a
detailed statement OF the number of
cars that company now has in ser.
vice, wood and steel; how many q,
each kind are in process OF constr,,c.
ton and over which roads the wood
en- cars are IoE run.
Another point we viii endeayor m
ascertain" said McChord, lis whv

abled to discard the dangerous wood.
en- Pullman equipment. Why hasn't
the New Haven road?'
Every time we have opened onr
mouths ne continued, I'VE have cited
the wooden car evil. suggested re-.
forms and even legislation. Every re-
port on almost any wreck that wa
nave made has mentioned forcesully
the imperative necessity of stee,
equipment to take the place OF the
more antfquated wooden csrs.n
In the office of Safety Appliance
inspector Belnap today statistics on
me number of fatal railroad accidents
where wooden cars were used was
lacking, but a report on the Tyrone
Pennap wreck recently on the Penn.

Federal Statute.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s-Aroused
to action by the Wallingford Wreck
disaster Representative Talcott of
New York announced today that he
would Immediately ask the house to-
pass, as an urgent emergency meas
ure, his bill to force railroads to use
nothing but steel cars for passenger
traffic
The next move l intend to take is
to get favorable report on my bill
from the house interstate commerce
committee" said Talcott. Il think
this will be given. as my bill has beeu
endorsed unanimously by the inter-
state commerce commission. Then
propose to ask the democratic caucus
to permit consideration OF the hin
during the present session Of oon.
gress as an emergency measure. The
bill cannot come up under the rules
unless the caucus declares It Is an
emergency. l think the Wallingforo
and other recent disastrous wrecks
prove the emergency character of this
legislation"
Talcott stated today that he be-
lieved there would be little opposition
to favorable report Of the bill In the
interstate commerce comn67-ee except
from the railroads.
Former Senator Falkner OF West
Virginia, attorney for a dozen rail-
roads. bitterly opposed my bill at the
hearings last February. He said 1t
might force some small roads into
bankruptcy" said Talcott-
That hearings on his bill were prao-
tically completed last winter was as
serted by Talcott. He said only the
formal action Of the commission was
necessary to put the legislative ma
chinery in motion.
The death OF dozen school teach
ers OF Utica, n Y, two years ago m

colt said inspired his all steel car
bill. His home Is in Utica. He said

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The time
has come In this country, said Sena-
tor Reed of Missouri. today, When
men responsible for horrible things of
this kind, will be held criminally re-
sponsible. Here is a great corpora

(ContInueu from nase A.l

Awaiting the verdict OF the coroner
is Mrs. Scott, foster mother of Ensi-
neer August Miller. in charge of the
engine which crashed into the Bar
Harbor express. My boy couldn't
have made mistake said Mrs.
Scott today. HE told me the front
train did not put out signals, and he
never told me lie. He has worked
SO this week that he has fairly grown
old. He had but an hours sleep be-
fore leaving yesterday and | begged
him to stay at home and rest. But

Mrs. Scott explained that Miller
came to her when an orphan thirteen
years old. Since the death of her
