ENGINEER BLAMED FOR
 KILLING TWENTY SEVEN
N. Y. Central Operating Of- ficers Criticized for Not
 Enforcing Rules.

Washington, May 1.-The wreck Cleveland, March 29, in which twen- ty-seven persons were killed and for ty-seven injured, was due, the inter- state commerce commission reported today, to the failure of Engineer Hess to see the signals or to read them properly on account of the dense fog in which his train was running.
 The report to the commission cites the engineers record since 1900 to show that he had been four times suspended for running past signals and was again suspended last Decam- Der for striking the rear end of a train at Toledo o.
 The report says the rules relative to speed which permitted during fog gy weather the rate of speed at which Hess train was running, "In view of the fog and short distance at which signal indications could be distin- guished, was one of the Droximate causes of this accident"
 ''1t is clearly shown" the report says, that the operating officers charged with the responsibility of knowing that safety rules and re- quirements are observed were perfect 1y familiar with the fact that trains not only run at normal speed but make up time in dense fogs.
 Accidents such as this may be ex- pected to occur unless those in charge of the operation of this property at once take steps to see to it, by such check, observations and other means as may be found necessary that speed is materially reduced in fogay weather
 The commission in it's report again refers to the need of automatic train stops
