EARLY STORY OF THE WRECK
(By Assocfated Press.l

New Haven, Sept. @Sixteen persons lost their lives and a score or more were injured when the White Mountain Express, bound for New York, crashed into the rear end of the second sec ton of the Bar HaPbor Express bear ing sojourners from Maine summer resorts the New Haven railroad, just outside the city limits, shortly before a. nn., today.
 The yelling by a thick fog of block signal is given as the cause of the accident by Engineer A. B. Miller, who says the signal was invisible, a1- though he did all he could to stop the train which pIoughed it's way through two wooden Pullman cars, shattered them to lxindling and killed and wounded sleeping passengers in their berths. The accident recalled the recent. wreck on the New Haven at Stamford, Conn, when a second section train failed to take it's brakes and overran a block, dealing death to passengers of the first section of a fast train. Only a partial number of the dead have been identified. The bodies of most of the victims were collision was not heavily felt by pass engers on the White Mountain train.
 A party of boy campers, 65 in num- Der, returning from Camp Cobbossee,'' ? at Monmouth, Me, in charge of Frank Mooney, were in a Pullman car which was overturned. Two of the boys, William Altschul, of Norfolk, Va, and Albert Green, of New York, were kill ed.
 Daniel Dunn, the former Yale foot ba1 player, was in this coach.
 A party of young girl campers, pu- pills of the SideweII Friends School, Washington, D. C., returning from Belgrade Lakes, Me, were in other cars of the Bar Harbor Express These girls were not reported as injured
 The dead were all taken to New Haven and the injured received first aid from physicians on the two trains and made comfortable as possible with bedding taken from PuIlmans, later being removed to hospitals.
 PhiIo Hotchkiss, a lad of this city, whose brother was killed, probably will die. Both legs had to be ampu- tarec at the hospital. The family of Nathan Fitch, treasurer of the United Illuminating company, had berths next to the Hotchkiss boys Members of the family are missing.
