CRACK B. & o. TRAIN RUNS
THROUGH SWITCH--ALL
PASSENGERS ESCAPE

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 16-Res-
possibility for the wrecking at View
erton Md. late yesterday of the Capt
tol Limited" crack flyer of the Balti-
more& Ohio railroad, was placed upon
A. j. Ross, engineer of the train, in
a statement issued here by officials
of the railroad.
G. w. Giffern of Washington, fire
man of the train, was killed in the
crash, and Engineer Ross, is in SER
ious condition at hospital in Bruns-
wick, Md. Two railway mail clerks
M. Fletcher and w. G. Maxion, both
OF Cumberland, Md. were slightly in
jured.
Due to a freight wreck which block
ed the westbound track, the Capitol
Limited, travelling from Baltimore to
Chicago, was forced to switch to the
eastbound track at Weverton. Engi-
neer Ross, according to the railroad
company's statement, disregarded the
roads speed restrictions through the
crossover.
Passengers Escape Injury
The locomotive and mail car of the
limited left the rails and overturned
The trucp car two diners and three
of the seven sleepers also were de-
rallied, but remained upright, and ex-
cept for shock and minor bruises all
the passengers escaped injury.
Ross leaped from the cab as the en-
CINE fell, after iamming on the en-
Urgency brakes. He was caught in
rush Of escaping steam and bruised
so severally in his fall that physicians
say his recovery is doubtful.
Il, w. Scheer, general manager Of
the Baltimore & Ohio, in statement
said:
Trustworthy Engineer
The engineer in charge of this
train was one of the best and most
careful engineers on the railroad and
hS been running this train in very
satisfactory manner But in his part
ocular instance he made an error If
judgment for reasons which we do not
now understand.
He permitted his train to pass
through the switch at higher rate of
speed than the companys rules per-
nit at such places. AS the train was
made up of heavy steel vestibule cars
there was but little damage to the
equipment, and consequently to any
of the passengers"
