rehabA tating its soldiers who have disabled

Officials Find Block System
Failed to Work at Linden
Junction.
ONE PASSENGER DIES


Evidence thus far gathered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission In
dicates that the automatic block Sig
nal system failed to work properly
at Linden. Nd. yesterday morning,
when two Baltimore and Ohio trains
crashed into each other, fatally injur-
ing one passenger and slightly injur-
ing ten others.
William p. Dawson. sixty-five years
old, of Germantown, Md. the most
seriously hurt passenger. died yester-
day afternoon at Providence Hospital.
His body was taken home today and
Will be buried Thursday morning at
Beallsville, Md.
Mr.. Dawson was a well known resi-
dent Of Montgomery county. having
farmed there for years. Recently he
accepted a position with the fuel ad-
ministratfon, and was on his way 70
work when the express from st: Louis
crashed into the rear OF the Mesr9-
politan branch local. Mr.. Dawson 10

dren. william ". and Nicholas Daw-
son. Mrs. Corinne Duff and Mrs. Al
bert Wootton.
Inquiry Held at Baltimore.
inspectors Of the safety division of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
who attended an inquiry held In the
etendent of the Baltimore and Ohio IN
Baltimore yesterday, said this morn
ing that the evidence presented was
to tho effect that the automatic block
signal registered clear to the engineer
Of the western express.
An official Of the division OF safety
explained that while one train Is on
the main track in certain block the
signals for that block register danger.
If the train pulls into a siding to let
clear, but the instant the side-tracked'
train pulls back to the main track the
signal should show danger again.
Switch Indicator Also Failed.
According to the Interstate Com
merce Commission inspectors, the evil
dence is that the local pulled onto the
side track to let the st. Louis express
pass. In addition to the block signal
which should show danger to the train
on the side track when the other
train which is scheduled to pass 1t Is
approaching.
1t was testified at the hearing In
Baltimore yesterday that this switch
Indicator also registered clear, which
led the engineer Of the local to return
to tho main track ana attempt TO
m AXE the trip to Washington ahead Of
the express. The local had scarcely
returned to the main track when the
express struck it from the rear. The
fact that the last coach Of the local
was steel and that the engineer OF the
express had time to shut down speed
alone prevented more serious results.
Inspectors Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission returned to the
scene of the collision today to inspect
the signal circuits.
