Nothing but Dead Found.

Chambers beyond the one in which
Ferna ndez and his companions were found
have been explored by the rescue crews
with their oxygen helmets, but nothing
but dead have been found therein.
All through the night the rescuers con-
tinued their work with calm precision.
and shortly before midnight the atmos-
phere In the mine had cleared TO such an
extent that miners without helmets were
enabled TO enter to bring out the dead
men who had been passed by the he'll

bring TO the surface none but quick
bodies In such a manner Will the rescue
work continue until all bodies have been

IS Inefficient
New Haven Railroad Officials
UnSpGringIy Denounced

Man failure" all along the line,
from officials and directors Of the New
Haven railroad down to its trainmen,
is held by the interstate commerce
commission to have been the cause of
the Wallingford wreck Sept. 2, in which
twenty-one were killed and thirty-fve
injured.
In its report the commission blames
the crews of the wreck trains for
lapses and scores officers and directors
for ''inefliciency of management"
Operating officials of the New Haven
and the officers and directors of the
system are grilled scathingly for pro-
mitigation Of regulations that were
permitted to become practically dead
letters and for not seeing to it per-
sonally that operating conditions were
what they had directed them to be.
In use at the time of the disaster,
the report points out, were "antiQuated
signals condemned by the locomotive
enginemen as well as by the public
service commission of Connecticut"
and old wooden cars unsuited by con-
struCtion for such traffic as they were
expected to accommodate. These were
held to be contributory reasons for
the excessive number OF casualties.
The commission demands of the
New Haven road the immediate adop-
ton of ian adequate system of super,
intendence and supervision which will
give those in authority definite and
positive information as to whether or
not the safety requirements and rules
of this railroad are observed"
The report sets forth the names of
the directors, which includes many of
the cOuntry's prominent men.
Some of these men, the commission
declared, had been considered by a
confiding public as "magicians in the
art of finance and wizards in the con-
5truction, operation and consolidation
of great railroads. Experience has
shown that this reliance of the public
was not justified as to either finance
or safety" il concludes.
