BRITISH PROBE IN PUBLIC
Press Protests Against Secrecy
Have Immediate Effect.
IRy Cable 70 The Tribune.


London, Sept. 6.-The unanimous pro-
test Of the press against holding the
Board Of Trade inquiry into the Aisgill
disaster behind closed doors had its ef-
feet, and the investigation yesterday
vas reopened in public session The
evidence was sensational. although it
only embraced statements from men
employed on the stationary express.
Nicholson. the engine driver told the
inspector that his locomotive had failed
for want of steam and that the failure
was due to unsuitable coal. The loco
motive was hauling 2i3 tons up a steep
incline to Aisgill, although the usual
limit was $50 tons. and his request at
Carlisle for an auxiliary engine mad
been refused.
Metcalf, who was fireman on the
stalled locomotive, also told of the coal
being so small that he could not keep
up steam. He revealed the fact that
by running back 10 the signal box after
the collision he stopped freight train
which was approaching from the south.

Philadelphia, Sept. 5.-Relatives of Phil

by Coroner Mix that victims. dead or in

had valuable jewels In their possession
