FOIL THIRD ATTEMPT
TO WRECK EXPRESS
Freight Train Strikes 0bStruc-
tiOn Intended for New
Haven Passenger.

DANBURY, Conn, July 3.-The
third attempt in few weeks to wreck
the Federal express bound for Boston,
due here at 4:3O on the New Haven
road, was made today when a part Of
a tie was wedged into a frog 200 yards
from the local railroad station. The
locomotive of a freight train from
Maybrook to New Haven backing into
the yard TO take water and leave a
car, struck the obstruction, wrecking
and locomotive and tearing up the
track fer a considerable distance. The
Federal express was tagged and held
here until the track could be cleared.
This is the second attempt to wreck
a train on the New Haven road in
three days, the last one being at Ber-
lin, Conn.
Since the second attempt TO wreck
the Federal on June g, when a tie
jammed into the track was struck by
a freight train, the railroad yards
here have been swarming with detec-
tives. That some one VINO knows the
railroad sleuths is responsible for the
wrecks is the belief of the police, as
the last of the roads special agents
LETT the city last night, so that there
was little danger Of detection this
morning.
The Federal had six heavily loaded
sleepers filled with holiday travellers
into New England, one passenger
coach, and one combination smoker
and baggage car.

died of starvation.
Her pitiable weakness, the result Of
repeated hunger strikes, made the
threat ominous as a prophecy.

death HILL" REVEALED
IN BLOOMFIELD CRASH
Coroner Calls Accident Un-
avoidabIe and Will Recon-
mend Grading of Turn.

Unavoidable accident" was the YER
dict rendered by Coroner 7. J. Swantz
after the inquest held Friday morning
over the body of William Bloomfield,
1880 Michigan av.. the South Bend
water works employe who was killed
when the motorcycle on which he and
]. II. Wilson. 65S Howard av., were
riding, collided with an automobile.
The accident occurred about five miles
out on Portage av., on what is known
as Death hill". The automobile was
driven by e. +. Wilson of Buchanan.
and besides himself, his wife and two
friends, Don Rouse and Alta McDon-
aid, also Of Buchanan, occupied the
car.
AS a result Of the accident. the
scene of the affair will be recommend
ed TO the state commission OF vital
statistics by Coroner SWantZ for grad
ing and such other changes as will do
away with future danger.
Mrs Bloomfield, other than nOtiti-
cation last night that he was in Ep-
worth hospital as the result of an acci-
dent. was unaware of her husband's S
death until Friday morning. Her
frail condition and the fact that her
baby is but nine weeks old, were rea-
sons given by neighbOrs and members
of the family for keeping the news
from her When informed that her
husband was dead il is said that out
side Of a normal shock, she was calm.
Driver Describes Accident.
T.. T.. Wilson, driver of the autOmO-
bile, was the first witness examined
by the coroner. His statement fol-
lows:
Il was just making the turn south
at the foot of the hill when 1 saw the
two men on the motorcycle. | made
the usual turn to the right but they
were evidently confused-they were
about 80 or 40 feet away when l first
saw them-and turned in TO the left.
When they saw that the collision was
inevitable they attempted to make a
quick turn TO the right and succeeded
only in crashing into my machine.
"I did not see Bloomfield strike the
machine but l think his head must
have crashed into the top OF my ra-
diator. The radiator is badly bent
and twisted and the cap is torn off.
The motorcycle itself was not high
enough 10 hit the car there"
Wilson further testified that the hill
in question is one that has long been
talked of among automobilists as a
place where accidents of the kind
could easily hapNen. AFTER starting
down from the top. he said. il is i'm
possible TO see vehicles approaching
from either side.
The testimony of j. II. Wilson, who
was on the motorcycle with Bloomfield
was Identical with that of the other
witnesses. He said that when he saw
the two machines were to come to-
gether. he slid off the rear seat of the
motorcycle and escaped serious injury.
He is still laid up at his home, how
ever.

WASHINGTON. July AT the

placed on the fact that the A B. c.

Carranza Is merely deferring his re

received by officials here with grave
concern. In Mexico City, IL IS said,
the people are on the verge of panic
over the possibility CT being shut off
from water and light and at the mercy
Of the southern bandit
1t is thought that this was one of
the contingencies uppermost IN the
mind of Sir Lionel Garden, the British
minister, when he warned all Eng
lishmen Immediately TO leave Mexico.
The fact that other foreign ENJOYS
issued a like warning, is taken as an
indication that mon violence may
have TO be coped with.
