PROTECT TRAFFIC
AT KENNEDY AVE.

IN order better to protect traffic al
Kennedy Avenue bridge. East Chicago
the Board OF Works yesterday ordered
that the approaches should be 7anked
with railing on each side and that
these ratings should be painted white
The koare viii also make an effort
TO have the Grasselli Chemical com
pany fil in at the side of the ap-
proaches so as TO further minimize the
danger.
There are some who think that the
cities OF Hammond and East Chicago
should install arc lights at each end
Of the bridge so that drivers would
not be altogether dependent upon
headlights TO see what was before
them.

One of the seriously injured is Leon
ard S. Hotchkiss, banker of New
Haven, whose two sons were killed in
the collision of express trains at North
Haven, about two years ago.
One of Worst in History
The accident which is considered one
of the worst in the history of trolley
accidents in New England, occurred
on a short stretch of straight track
between two curves. One of the cars
in charge of Conductor Arthur S.
Jones of Westbrook and Motorman
Harry Morris of New Haven was
bound out from New Haven. The
other westbound was in charge of
Motorman Negus of Guilford and Con-
ductor Tryon of YORKTOWN.
The eastbound car was running on
it's regular schedule, and the west
bound, it is said, should have waited
on a turnout for it to pass, the road
being single tracked. After the ac-
cident Motorman Negus is said to
have admitted that he was drowsy and
passed the turnout before he was
aware of it. He escaped serious in
jury by jumping when the collision
was inevitable. Motorman Morris was
caught between the cars and crushed
to death his body being tossed to the
top of his car.
Deputy Coroner Keneth Wayne of
New Haven, who visited the scene of
the wreck ordered Negus and Con-
ductor Tryon held as witnesses, pend
ing his investigation.
A Narrow Escape
A passenger on the westbound car.
who was cut about the head told of his
escape from more serious harm. He was
seated near the front of the car. No
t.cing that it had gone by the turnout,
where he said he knew it ought to wait
for the other car to pass. he left his
seat and went to the rear of the car to
learn the reason if possible. AS he
reached the end of the car the crash
came and he was thrown to the ground.
Another victim was a young girl
who. although herself badly injured,
piteously besought her rescuers to try
tc find her mother.
. Preliminary Examination
A preliminary examination of the
crew of the westbound car, Motorman
Negus and Conductor Tryon, was held
by Deputy Coroner Wynne in the home
of Ira Tompkins close by the scene of
the wreck. There were also present
Public Utilities Commissioner c. c. Ell
we'll and the chief engineer of the COM
mission. Mr.. Trumbull. The hearing
was closed one. 1t is understood that
Motorman Negus stated that he had
waited upon turn out east of the
