TOUCHING SCENES WHEN SURVIVORS
 REACH NEW YORK
Out Of Wreck Come Many Stories of HerOiSm and
 Human Interest

Touching indeed were the scenes at tho Grand Central Station in New York yesterday when the survivors of Che terrible. disaster. at Talcott's cross ing drew into the terminal. Most af- fecting of all were the reunions of fathers and mothers with the lads who were saved from the Chisholm, which was almost wholly filled with boys re-
 turning from Camp CobbOsSee, Me.
 Harry Rich Mooney, president of the
 camp, was on the 6ear but was prac- tically unscathed. His clothing was torn and bIoodsta1ned from his toll in the wreck, and his face was drawn with anguish. But he maintained a steel nerve through the ordeal and saw that those of his charges who were able to continue on their home ward way did so without unnecessary delay
 Mooney led the boys into the station. Hundreds of. anxious relatives throng- ed the gates waiting the arrival of the survivors. Mooney became, the storm center As if by magic he called the boys forth as parents came forward to seek them. There were many touching scenes as the injured lads, bandaged and arms in slings were tenderly en- bSaced by their parents
 Mooney had 58 boys in his camp, and there were also nearly a score of guides servants and other help.
 Out of the wreck have come many stories of heroism and self sacrifice. EIg1n P. Mott, President of the Amer ican Blue Print Co, was beaver like Tn his work succsring the victims. He tells of seeing an Italian who was travelling with wife and daughter, working. over man who was in dan ger of bleeding to death. He used his hands to form a clamp over severed artery of the mans leg; and deftly1 shut off the oozing away of the vic tim's life blood.
 When the trolley car was pressed in to service as an ainbuIance the man, seeing there was none took his place, confided wife and daughter to others and proceeded on the trolley car, still minister4ng to the bleeding victim, un- til he could receive the advantage of surgical appliances.
 Mott is unsparing in his conde7nna- ton of the methods of the railroad men after the wreck. He declares that many lives could have been saved had prompt measures been taken to bring medical and surgical assistance. The railroad men he said acted as if afraid to go ahead on their own initiative but waited for New Haven to act. Mott is a Starnford-New York cornmuter, but he says hereafter he's going to use his automobile.
