THIRTY-H|VE
KILLED WHEN
TRAINS MEET

CHICAGO, m, Feb. 2s.-There were
thirty-Ave kille dand a hundred injur-
Cd In 3 railroad wreck at Porter, Ind,
about 20 miles south Of Chicago early
this morning.
The trains were the Canadian, Q
Michigan Central flyer, which left
Chicago shortly before six o'clock last
night, and the Interstate Express, on
the New York Central Railroad, due
here after p. m. The wreckage,
from the terrific impact Of the collis-
ion, piled seventy FIVE feet high and
the work Of extricating the bodies
was slow. Blame for the wreck is
now under investigation. Porter,
eighteen miles east of Gary marks the
intersection Of the two railroad lines,
before crossing the N. Y. C. tracks it
is the habit for the Canadian to lie on
q siding until the express train
passes. ...
The engineer of the Michigan Cen
tral train claims the towerman gave
him the Clear" signal to proceed
without hating. The tower man dem
les this and aserts he not only gave
the stop" signal but opened the de-
rail to throw the train onto it's usual
siding. The latter's version found
credence by the fact that the derail
was open. The Canadian moving at
between fifty and sixty miles an
hour, leaped into the siding, shot OF
its tracks and plunged on over the N.
Y. C. tracks hAphazxard.
Tbs train had not got half across
the N. 7. C. tracks when the express
train moving at an equally rate Of
speed, shot into its day coach section.
Two of the day coaches crowded with
passengers, were caught up like paper
boxes by the great locomotive, torn
from their train and hurled 80 feet.
They piled up with their human
freight. Both the engineer and fire.
man were instantly killed. Every pas
senger but one was hurt. The coach
was caught amidship by the locomo-
tive. Not a single passenger in the
other coach escaped injuries and many
Of them were killed. The crash was
heard for miles. ....
