DYING ENGINEERS EXPLAINS.

Dunkirk, \. Y, July 1.-Engineer
Clifford of the New York Centrals
Westerner Express trien, according to
his statement, TO avert the rear-end col
lision with train No. Al, which caused
the death of y persons, the serious in
jury of 10 others and slight cuts and
bruises to many more. The airbrake
failed to work the engineer declared.
Witnesses said the siren was still
screeching for the hand brakes when the
Westerner going 80 miles an hour,
plowed into the rear coach Of No Al.
Clifford stuck to his post to the end
He was dying when his body was taken
from the wreck of the engine
The brakes wouldn't hold they
wouldn't work. he gasped just before
he died.
Eight bodies were taken from the
wreckage in the early morning hours and
four of the injured died during the day
An investigation by railroad and fed
eral officials is said to have developed
the fact that the air controlling the
brakes on the Westerner was cut off
between the engine tender and the first
cal 0f the train altho it was tested in
the Buffalo yards an hour before the
accident. The finding of a body, ap-
parently that of tramp. wedged in the
wreckage back of the tender, is the basis
for theory that a man stealing a ride
on the blind end of the baggage car ac-
.cidentally or deliberately turned the cock
rendering the air brakes useless.

CALLS WILSON AN INTRUDER

Rome, July Critical comment or
President Wilson's sojourn in Europe is
made today by the Tribuna in discussing
his return to the United States.
"Seven months ago an immense halo
of popularity surrounded President Viii
son. the Tribuna editorial says. Europe
awaited him as the messiah in a new
era of history, while now he leaves
amidst almost general indifference, ap-
pearing as an intruder in our continental
history, our European affairs and our
sacred ideals.
ut has been a psychological drama as
President Wilson believes, perhaps sim
cerely. that he incarnated not only the
aspirations Of America but also the as
pirations of Europe. Instead President
Wilson, despite his pure intentions, failed
of his object. He returns to America,
leaving behind him chaos of disorder.

not conclude peace according to his prin-
ciples but made compromise brot about

hours under favorable conditions. An
nouncement has been made however.
that no attempt will be made to estab-
lish time record for crossing, the com
fort of the dirigible's crew being given
such consideration.
With favorable weather the R-34 is
expected to parallel the route of the
northern steamship lanes, but should ad-
verse weather conditions be encountered,
she probably will take the southern
course, passing over or near the Azores.
