Emergency Relief at Hand.
Immediately after the accident calls
were flashed to Jersey City. The motor
man of a tube train returning from
Manhattan brought his cars to stop
beside the two wrecked trains INN
Jurec passengers aided III transferring
their injured fellows to this tram,
which then returned to the Exchange
Place tube station in Jersey City where
the thirty-fve injured persons were
transferred to hospitals. Most of
these were able to go home after re-
ceiving emergency treatment.
Virtually all of the injuries were
cuts and contusions on heads,
shoulders and arms, caused by broken
glass or contact with stanchions in the
cars.
The Investigations are being con-
Quoted by Prosecutor Pierre Garven
of Hudson County; Chief Inspector
James Mayberry, jr., of the New Jer-
sey Public Utilities Commission; the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Hud-
son & Manhattan Railroad. Oren
Root, president of the Hudson & Man
haitian, in statement last night said:
"The electric line between Hudson
Terminal, New York and Newark is
operated jointly by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the Hudson &
Manhattan Railroad Company. The
Hudson g. Manhattan Railroad owns
and operates the portion of this line
between Hudson Terminal and Summit
Avenue station, Jersey City, and the
Pennsylvania Railroad owns, operates
and has exclusive jurisdiction over the
portion of this line between Summit
Avenue station, Jersey City, and New
ark.
"The Hudson G. Manhattan Railroad
Company has no more to do with the
operation west of Summit Avenue sta
tion than it has TO do with the opera
tion of trains over any other section
of the Pennsylvania Railroad
so far as the Hudson & Manhattan
Company is concerned, it's entire road
is equipped with automatic signals, so
spaced with respect to grades, curves,
etc. as 20 permit of train being
brought to a stop within the distance
between signais. Behind eacn rrain
passing over the road there are always
three signals protecting the train. Two
signals Immediately behind the train
indicate stop and the signal furthest
from the train indicates caution These
signals act to control the movement
and speed of the following train, and
the rules regarding observance of sig
mails are stringent and are most rigidly
enforced.
SIn addition, at every point where q
signal is located there is a tripper in
stalled alongside the track, SO connect
ed electrically that when the signal is
in the stop position the tripper arnl
man fail to observe and run past a
signal indicating stop the tripper arm
engages brake valve lever installed
on the trucks of all cars, which ap-
piies the air brakes in emergency and
brings the train TO an immediate stop.
