ENGINEER TELLS
STORY OF WRECK
BlameS Collision on Faulty
Engine; Piston Pack
ing Bad

Philadelphia, Aug. 2S.-Incensed
at the charge of Coroner Cunning
ham, of Atlantic county, who ex-
pressed his belief that he had been
asleep on the job" Ralph Town
send, the engineer of the train
which crashed into another at Ell
wood, ~ j., early Sunday morn
ing, causing the death of one man
and the injury of twenty-five other
persons, yesterday placed the blame
of the crash on faulty locomotive
which he said he was compelled TO
operate.
The engineers disclosure was made
to Edmund C. Gaskill, Jr.. prosecu-
tor for Atlantic county, at Atlantic
City. He gave his story of the acci-
dent in the Atlantic City Hospital,
where he has been since the accI.
dent, recovering from a fractured
leg which he received when lie
leaped from the cabin of the engine.
Telling the Truth
Usually the engineer gets the
worst end of it in case like this
That's why I am going to tell the
truth about this thing" he began.
~ have read in the newspapers
that some people in authority say
I was asleep. | never was more
awake in my life. 1 had to be because
of my engine. The Washington en-
gineer whom I relieved at Philadel-
phia told me to report that the
metallic packing was blowing badly
on the right side of the engine as
soon as | got to Atlantic City.
'At Hommonton, n. j., l lost my
cap, peering far out of the cab try
ing to see through the steam.
Close TO Signal
II saw the tower plainly at
Amatol. The next thing I got was
the red automatic signal. | wasn't
six feet from it, when I saw it first.
Then about four or six coach
lengths further on we heard two
torpedoes, saw the flash of a red
fuse and then the rear lights of the
train ahead. 1t looked to me as il
he had been called in and then sent
out again. Then | told the fireman
to jump and let go myself.
II do not feel guilty of anything.
[ never saw the yellow caption sig
nal. 1t was not my fault. L was
lucky to see anything the way the
steam was blowing from that en-
gine.
IF that piston packing had been
right / could have seen two blocks
ahead all the time, for we had a
bright electric headlight and the
mist from the swamps we always
find in the early morning below
Lucaston would not have affected
our vision seriously.
Works Without Sleep
Shore detectives say Townsend
made three round trips between
Camden and Atlantic City in the
twenty-four hours preceding the
rear-end collision.
Use of wooden coaches on excur-
sion trains is in the spotlight OF the
probe.
The exact number of wooden
coaches being used by the United
States Railroad Administration in
traffic to seashore points is being in
vestigated," said Prosecutor Ed
mund c. Gaskill. Jr., of Atlantic
City. Whether the engineman or
the United States Railroad Admin
istration is found to have been to
blame will make no difference to
us. We are out to find who was re-
sponsible, no matter whom the
probe may hit"

SOFT DRINKS NUMBER
1910, MINUS THE KJCI

Although alcoholic, vinous and
fermented drinks are barred from
Missouri, there is no danger of a
shortage in soft drinks. The latter
have multiplied since the dry season
until there are now 1,040 soft drinks
on the Missouri market.
The laboratory of the state bev-
erage inspection department on tile
fourth floor of the new State Cap
itol contains beer cases and bottles
enough to be mistaken for a popu-
lar dramshop. Samples of all soft
beverages, including sirups. must
come to the department for inspec-
ton. The chief of the departments
is Thomas Speed Mosby, former
state beer inspector.
