Probing Commissioners Learn
That Engineer Sargent May
Have Been GrOggy Be-
cause OF GOTgiDg,

Two mysteries surrounding the wreck
Of the Hagenbeck and Wallace circus
train between Hammond and Gary re-
manned unsolved today as the seriously
wounded victims battled for life in St
Margarets and Mercy hospitals.
The first is the reason Engineer
Alonzo Sargent Of the deadhead equip
ment was overcome by sleep after be-
ing on duty only a few hours and the
second IS the motive OF the interstate
commerce commission and the public
service commission in barring the pub
lie from the investigation. One OF
these mysteries may never be cleared
up.
Two Heavy Meals.
That Engineer Sargent was in Ioggv
condition owing to the fact that he ha.,
eaten two heavy meals within a few
hours before going on the run. was the
theory advanced yesterday at the joint
probe which was concluded late in the
afternoon. This was considered a rea-
sonable explanation
All others connected with the opera
ton Of the troop and circus trains were
absolved from blame excepting the en-
gineer and fireman BY the evidence sub
mltted to the commissioners and upon
the nodding head Of Engineer Sargent
rests responsibility for the frightful
wreck which cost fifty-nine lives. Pity
for the engineer is being expressed bv
the general public although It is be
ieved that Lake county authorities
have done right IN having the engineer
indicted for manslaughter. Both Sar-
gent and his engineer. Gustav Klauss,
are under bond to the superior court.
Clear Up Doubts.
The hearing yesterday set aside the
possibility that the fagman Of the cir
Gus train was tardv IN running back to
warn the approa ching troop train. It
was proven to the satisfaction Of the
commissions that he did not first walk
ahead TO investigate the flaming hot box
before running back. That the circue
train stopped because Of a hot box and
that the conductor of the circus train
was justified in stopping halfway on
the switch and halfway on the main
line to make repairs were also estab-
lished.
Experts testifying at the inquiry
stated that the only way IN which the
wreck could have been averted with the
engineer Of the troop train asleep was
by the much-talked of automatic train
stop system. The Michigan Central. II
was stated is one of the best guarded
railroads in the country
Only Doing.
Engineer Sargent had not slept more
than one or two minutes before the
crash as the Michigan Central records
show the troop train changed its speed
after passing Tolleston.
Those who testified yesterday after
noon were W. H. Jackson. brakeman of
the troop train; James E. Meyer. brake
man of the troop train; Louis Johnson.
conductor Of the troop train; Oscar
Timm brakeman and hagman of the
circus train; ]. Q Wiedeman. signal

Heavy American
Guns i'm Use ON
Two Battle Fronts

WASHINGTON: Feb. %. American
built ordnance of the latest type and
heaviest calibre-l lo-inch. 12-inch and
14-inch rifles is in service on the
sector of the Western front held by
the American army and en- the Italian
front it was learned o-day at the War
Department. The general belief has
been that very American heavy guns
were in Europe.
The guns sent to Italy include a
number of 14-inch rifles, both Of .45
and so calibre. The former was con-
sidercd the most powerful naval wea-
pon in existence until the commiss ION
ing of the British battlcships of the
Queen Elizabeth class, with 15-inch
guns. American experts still believe
that the 14-inch 80 calbre rifle is
harder hitting and more accurate even
than Che larger British weapon.
Reports from Italy say the results
achieved by the heavy American ord
nance already have elected expressions
of admiration from the Italian gunners.
In addition to heavy naval ordnance,
General Pershing has received a num-
originally for installation in the coast
defences of the United States. When
this country entered the war there
were substantial number of these
guns in American arsenals. but the
chance Of their being needed here was
deemed so small that the War Depart
mcnt did not hesitate to ship them
abroad Mounted on specially designed
carriages they are now located along
the American sector.
Mounted for high angle fire, as they
will be when used in land operations,
the 12-inch rifles have an estimated
range of not less than $4,000 yards
The l4-inch gun has a proportionately
greater range. Larger naval guns arc
row being built, as future American
battleships are to have 16-inch guns OF

of this weapon have yet been permitted

Gen. Woods Aid Returns
Lieut.. Col. kilbourne to Have
Operation on His Eye

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Feb. 25.-
Lieutenant Colonel Charles +. Kill
bourne, aid to Major General Leonard
Wood and who was at his side when
the general was painfully injured by
the premature explosion of a trench
mortar several weeks ago in France,
arrived here to-day on a French liner.
When the vessel docked it was learned
that Lieutenant Colonel Kilbourne
himself had been more seriously in
iurcd than reports from abroad had
stated, and had returned to undergo an
operation on his right eye.
Friends of Lieutenant Colonel Kill
bourne who accompanied him from
France said that a fragment of steel
from the exploding mortar struck him
below the right eye, passed behind the
eyeball and lodged in the forehead.
French and American surgeons who cX-
amincd him after the accident were
averse to operating, and suggested
that he return to America.
