dicate that something must have been i the matter with the airbrakes.
 Doherty's Judgment All Right. Those who were asked the question were: Jerry w. O'Connor and Allen T. King, engineers; John Harmon, who had been suspended for running past a signal with Doherty's engine; Albert Haven roundhouse, and J. F. Buckley, IT,, travelling engineer. Asked as to fhat they thought of Doherty's Judgment, providing that he did what he said he did at the dis tances given today, all said it was good judgment.
 No Practical Automatic Stops.
 Charles H. Morrison, signal engineer of the New Haven road, was asked why the road had not installed automatic train stops, as had been recommended after other wreck investigations. There are no automatic stops that I know of that will work" was his re- ply There are a number of devices, he said, but he had yet to find one that was practical for everyday railroad work. The automatic stip might work and it might not, and if such an ar rangement were to be installed it would be worse than none, in his opin- ion.
 2,600 Devices Submitted.
 He said that since last January, when President MelIen offered substantial prize for a successful automatic stop, 2.6O0 devices had been submitted. Practically all of these would inter fere with the overhead clearance" and the majority of them would not work on electrified roads.
 The New Haven road Is doing every thing 1t can, he declared, to encourage inventors who are working on auto matic stops. The road will test two de- vices that have been submitted near Hartford in the latter part of July. he said.
 Inventors to Be Called.
 Coroner Pheland asked MT Morrison if there had been an automatic stop at Stamford if the wreck would have been averted. and he said: Certainly, if 1t had worked
 The coroner asked him concerning several devices that are advertised to automatically stop trains, and Mr. MOr- rison said he had tried them all, but they were not practical The coroner announced his intention of calling sev- eral inventors of automatic devices to the witness stand later in his inquiry.
 The inquest adjourned until Monday afternoon at Bridgeport.

of the summit's height is upwards Sof 20,50O feet.
 Hoisted American Flag.
 We were able to read angles on all prominent points. With field glasses we clearly saw the f1agpole erected in 1910 by the Thomas Lloyd expedition on the north peak (the lower of the two main peaks).
 After completing observations on the summit, we hoisted the American flag on the upper basin. erected a six foot cross and said Ire Deum' on the highest point of North America.
 Bad Weather Delayed Passage.
 ''The northeast ridge is the only possible approach to the summit. Due to the violent earthquakes of last July the higher ridges were terribly shat tered, and this added largely to the danger, difficulty and labor of the as- cent.
 We spent three weeks in continuous bad weather hewing passage three miles long through this side. This was the chief cause of delay, as we made rapid progress at all other stages of the journey.
 Not Single Mishap.

Indicates to Coroner Points at Which He Applied
 Air and the Emergency Brakes
CORONER MAKES OBSERVATIONS OF DISTANCES
On Hypothesis That These Distances Are Accurate Rail
 road Men Testify That There Must Have Been Something Wrong With the Air Brakes and That Doherty Showed Good Judement-No Practical Automatic Stops Known

Stamford. Conn, June 20.-After a lapse of several days, Coroner John J. Phelan of Fairfield county late today resumed his Inquest into the wreck of the Springfield express on the New Ha- ven road, in which six lives were lost on June F. Charles J. Doherty, who was the engineer of the train that crashed into the express. went with the coroner and other officials to the scene of the accident and pointed out the various places where he said he had applied the bakes in his fruitless endeavor to stop the great superheat- CT engine.
 Doherty Accompanies Coroner.
 Going to a spot approximately $500 feet east of the distant signal, he told the coroner that here was where he first saw the yellow eye" He applied Is pounds of air at point 1.20O feet east of the same signal. When the en- zine did not slow dowIa he applied pressure of 10~pounds more. This was 800 feet nearer the yellow eye,' he es- timated. Then, as the engine showed no signs of lesSening its speed, he put on the emergency and let her have the whole thing" Walking slowly along the tracks toward Stamford station, Dohery came to a spot where he "heel- ed" and said he thought he applied the emergency brakes there. The dis tance was measured, and it was found 10 be 1900 feet from the home signal that signal being some distance away from the place where the wrecked train stood.
 His Previous Testimony.
 At the joint inquiry yesterday by the interstate commerce commission, Doherty testified that he could not see the signal until he got around the curve He said he saw the signal 'as soon as possible-in the neighborhood of 200 or 300 feet" He then applied pressure of Is pounds. By that time he had gotten by the distant signal and he reduced the pressure ten wounds more. He made the emergency appli- cation about 300 feet from the train,
 Something Wrong With Airbrakes.
 After taking other observations, the coroner came back to the town hall and conducted the remainder of his hearins- Taking the same distances as given by Doherty today and assuming that a train with the same equipment running sixty miles an hour, Coroner Pheland asked a number of witnesses what would be indicated if the train did not come to stop. All said the train should have been stopped, and some said that if Doherty had applied the brakes as he said he did. it would in

House offices. where earlier in the day the heads of the government depart mentS had sat as advisers to the pres 1dent, the congressman were asked their views on the administration cur rency bill as it is to be introduced by Representative Glass, chairman of the committee. Some of them had not yet thoroughly examined the measure, but those who expressed opinions were favorably inclined toward it.
 Wilson Does the Talking.
 As the fourteen committeeman left the offices and a group of correspond ents met them they were reticent about discussing the conference. Just as Representative Glass had snilingly referred the correspondents to the president, MT. Wilson himself walked to the door of the office and talked with the newspapermen-a procedure unusual at night conferences at the White House.
 Asked Him Not to Hurry Proceedings.
 The president explained that the meeting was chiefly a get-together af- fair. that naturally some of the details In the bill had brought out consider able discussion. but that so far as he had observed there was a friendly feeling toward the fundamentals of the administration measure. MT. Wilson said, moreover, the members of the committee seemed all to desire action at the present session., but that they had asked him not to hurry considera- tion of the bill. so that it might be deliberated upon carefully. The pres ident remarked that he had had no intention of seeking hasty action and hoped that by common counsel and conferences measure satisfactory to the party would be obtained.
