 The hearing will Be conducted by Commissioner fMcChord, who has in Tited the public utilities committee Of Ehe state to sit with him as has been khe case at previous wreck hearings.
 w. H. Belnap, inspector for the lcommission, arrived here, today, and Served notice on President Elliott, of fhe New Haven road, that he would expect the attendance at the hearing of all witnesses who could throw light pn the causes of the wreck.
 President Elliott said that the road was eager to assist the commission in every way and that all evidence that gould be gathered would be placed at Its disposal
 This investigation will be one of the most thorough ever conducted in- to a wreck on the New Haven road" !" wa1d Mir. Belnap, today, after a long distance telephone conversation with Commissioner McChord in Washing Hon. We are not only going into the causes of this wreck specifically but We intend to bring to light the funda- Knenta1 conditions of management sxhich may explain this remarkable Eact that the New Haven has suffered from more wrecks than any other road in the United States in recent gears Our inquiry will go much 6eeper into these conditions than the hnquiry into the wreck at Stamford, bast June- That had mainly to do with the personnel of employees and Hhe question of adequate brakes. In Ahis inquiry we shall look into the general operation of the road into 1nethods of running trains, schedules and headWay of trains, into the signal system and every other possible fac hor. Be sure we are going to the bot Rom in a most thorough manner. I Ehave no doubt that the commissions s faction in the matter will be drastic"
 MT. Belnap sent two of his inspec- rtors to the scene of the wreck today ito investigate the signal system. He taas thus far made no examination of k4rainmen involved in the wreck and Ssaid that no attempt would be made Ito question them or any officials of Mhe road until the public hearing.
 Engineer A B. Miller, of the Bar FHarbor Express will be one of the first witnesses called on Friday, and General Manager Bardo will be an- other. It is likely that President FL lthe inquiry is finished.
 MT. Belnap denied that the New Haven had been guilty of disobeying 4he orders of the commission when it burned the wreckage. last night. He explained that F. A. Howard, an in- EDector of the commission, was on f4he scene of the wreck, early yester- day. and after having made an in xestigation, released the wreckage to the railroad company, yesterday after noon.
 Meantime. Coroner Mix will conduct
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-03

a secret inquest This will begin. to- morrow, behind closed doors. The coroner still persists in his refusal to give out the details of what he learned at the preliminary investig gation which he began, yesterday. This was to have been resumed, today, at the of fees of the New Haven road but the coroner was not in evidence when several of the trainmen involved in the wreck put in their appearance, Manager Bardo in the presence of c. c. Eflwe11 chief engineer of the Com necticut public utilities commission.
 Coroner Mix said, this afternoon:
 ''I do not see that anything is gain ed by holding public inquest. i have not followed that practice Un- less there should be some particular reason, do not see any reason for changing my practice. I do not care how Coroner Phelan, at the Stamford wreck, conducted his inquest I be- lieve that I accomplish more by not subjecting witnesses to the trying lex perience of a public hearing
 The reports from the hospitals, this noon, indicated the surgeons skill would probably be of no avail to save five of the IT patients. Those who are expected to die are:
 Jeanne and Edna, Annette, of Bay onne, N J.; Rose Zirnm erman, of 620 East 7th street, New York; William O. Rowland, of Philadelphia, and L.. E. Colony who has said he was from Bucksport, Me. -
 Fears that nishap had befalIen James Hale Steinman, of Lancaster, Pa, missing member of the Fox party who had been in camp at Jackman, Me, were ended, this morning, when MT. Steinman appeared in person. Un- beknown to the other members of the party MT. Steinman left the train at Portland, Me. All last night, MT. E1kins kept up the search for Mr. Steinn1an as it did not seem possi ble that he had escaped death.
 The special train to carry the five bodies of the Fox party was made up at noon and it consisted of two bag gage cars which had been turned into funeral cars and Pullman. Miss Riddle was a daughter of A. Mercer BiddIe of Torresdale, Pa, and a cou- sin of Mrs. E1kins, MT. Fox a brother in-Iaw of MT. E1kins, Miss Davis was daughter of pr. Charles N. Davis, of Philadelphia, Miss Marie Logan Bullitt, a daughter of Logan Bullitt, of the same city, and MT. McQuilIen, a banker and son of Dr. NcQuilIen, of that city.

 "Commission desires your company to furnish statement at the earliest possible date showing number of cars used in passenger train service, num- Der of steel cars of wooden construc- ton, of all steel construction and of steel underframe construction.

 Soon afterward a telegram was re- ceived by Commissioner McChord from John F. Fitzgerald, mayor of Boston, inQuiring if there were not some way by which the Pullman company could be cotnpeI1ed to build steel cars
 Certainly reads Mayor F'itzger- aids telegram, this company cannot plead poverty of resources. Millions of it's present capital was a gift to stockholders during the last twenty years. Am sending same telegram to Massachusetts Public Service Com mission but inasmuch as Pullman bus mess is largely interstate think your board the proper authority to suggest legislation"
 Commissioner McChord wired Mayor Fitzgerald that he already had call
 
 as to it's cars and that the infornaa tion, received would be used in the New Haven investigation.
 Commissioner McChord read news despatches telling of the New Haven management burning wreckage at Wa1lingford despite the commissions s request not to do so, without further remark than to say the railroad had assured the commission the wreckage would be preserved for inspection.
 We wired the railroad not to burn the swreckage and received a reply that the telegram would receive atten- tion- It seems they have burned the wreckage any way. don't know what we can do about it."

NEW GRANGE STATE.

Present indications point to the or.
ganization of a new state grange, in
time for it t. be represented at the
session of the National Grange, in
Manchester, N. H., next November.
Work has been rapidly advancing in
wyoming, where organizers have been
busy for a year getting the farmers
together and instituting subordinate
oranges. Enough of the latter have
now been formed to warrant the or
ganization of a state grange and the
extension of the systematic plans of
the order throughout the state Of
Wyoming.
The new state grange of Montana.
organized during last year, has proved
very successful and new oranges have
been forming rapidly throughout the
state, The recent session of the Mon
tana state grange, presided over by
State Master o. e. Young, was very
enthusiastic and received great in
petus from the presence of National
Master oliver Wilson of Peoria, Ill,

THIS PASTOR WAS NO SPORT
He Spoiled the Young Mans Proposed
Wrestling Match With His
Dark Angel.

A young man anxious to have
some one wrestle with his dark angel.
announced dramatically to his pastor
as they were walking down the street
that he was tempted to break one of
the commandments. His pastor, al
ways effective and original, be-
thought him Of homeopathic cure,
and responded coolly: "Well, why
don't you do it?" The wrestling
match was off. The dark angel
sneaked away without a peep. The
boy went home feeling as if he had
been spanked and laughed at. The
parson was no sport.
