this afternoon. Strike leaders as
serted that by o'clock tonight there

London.
Sir Nevil Macready. chief of the
metropolitan police, took cognizance
this morning of report that the
strikers proposed marching to No. 10

Sir Neville said. II can tell them
they will never reach Downing
street"
Strike leaders, however, said the
men had no intention of marching to
the premier's mansion.

.bLAMES TOO HEAVY
]. USE OF CAR BRAKES
W. R. & E. Official Says
Equipment of DeraiIed We
hicIe Was An Right.

J. II. Stephens, one of the transpor-
tation officials of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, stated
this afternoon that an inspection of
tire wrecked car at I'd and r streets
northeast showed it's equipment to be
in working order.
Mr.. Stephens opinion was that an
extra heavy application of the brakes
was responsible for derailing the car.
AS the wheels left the track the body
against the curbing on the south side
of r street.
Mr.. Stephens reported ninety-two
passengers were on the car. three less
than the police estimate of ninety
five.
President Ham Comments.
William F. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, stated that an inspection of
the car showed that the wheels were
locked when it turned over, indicating
that the brakes worked. He said 1t
also disclosed that the current had
been thrown into reverse, but ex-
-plained that this would have had no
effect in preventing the accident, since
the wheels had already been locked.
Mr.. Ham said the anr-bFake equip
ment of this car was inspected thor
oughly on July 20.
Refers to Report of Trouble.
Discussing a report that the crew
had to stop the car out on Rhode Is
land avenue and tinker with the
equipment, Mr.. Ham said that il the
! motorman found trouble it was his
duty to report it at the barn, which
he passed at 4th and r streets, and,
if necessary, transfer his passengers
to another car and turn the faulty
one in.
Mr.. Ham said he had not received
a statement from his men yet on the
report that something went wrong on
the car before it got into the city.
