NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 25.-The
Federal inquiry into the causes of the
wreck at Milford last Tuesday on the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Dad was completed to-day so far as
taking Of testimony Is concerned. The
commissions viii now make tests OF
the signal devices TO determine their
efficiency.
Tho chief witness to-day was Cen
eral Manager C. L. Bardo of the COM
pany. who declared in answer TO
questions that lie knew of no mechan-
ical device which could offset the
human element. lie could not account
for the presence of Harold Sweeney
on the engine OF the extra passenger
train with Engineer W. X. Curtis and
Fireman McGlnness, which ran into
the engine. Asked as to whether or
not signals had been properly OBJ
served by enginemen. Mr.. Bardo said
that a total Of 40,30s efficiency tests
had been made under thirty-tive diff
ferent classlfications and that with
one exception all had been complied
with.
He added: There is a grave aues-
ton in my mind as to the wisdom
OF taking from the shoulders Of a
well trained disciplined engineer the
well trained disciplined engineer
the responsibility for oding cerain
things. Regardless OF what 'mcchan-
ically or electrically combined de-
vices may be developed you still 20

every institution where mechanical
appliances are used. Is that mechani-
cal appliances will fail and when
they fail. you can never be quite sure
in which direction that failure is 60
ing to CO."
He said he considered the signalling
system in use the best that could be
found, and that. while the company
tried to have Its engineers keep on
schedule. the emphasis was laid on
safety and not speed. Other wit
nesses were called TO describe in de-
tail the automatic signalling devices.
