TRAIN HITS TROLLEY,
SEVEN MEN ARRESTED
Crew of Engine, Motorman and
Towerman Held When
81 Are Injured.
By the Associated Press.

WEEHAWKEN, N. j., September
14.-Seven men were held today In
bail aggregating $4,000 because Of a
collision at a grade crossing between
freight engine and trolley car in
which 81 persons were injured, two
perhaps fatally.
Those arrested after the crash dur.
ing the rush hour last evening were
the crew of the locomotive, the rail-
road towerman and the operator of
the one-man trolley.
The towerman said the mechanism
of the crossing gates failed to work.
A switchman, whose duty 1t was to
derail the trolley If there was not a
clear track ahead, was missing after
the accident.
Reports from hospitals indicated
that only six Of the injured were be-
lieved to be seriously hurt, although
rescuers marvelled that any of the
40 passengers came out Of the car
alive.
The trolley waited until one freight
train passed. The gates were raised
and the trolley proceeded.
Midway of the four tracks the
motorman sped up but the locomotive
caught the rear Of the trolley and
scattered it's wreckage along the
tracks. Passengers with broken legs
and arms were entangled In the
Wreckage.

The impression exists in French

her demands Immediately for the
restoration Of her lost colonies, but
will seek instead to penetrate her lost

way of recovering economic and flnan-

The Frenchmen here think that the
