the stalled automobile, and that the
train was running IA miles per hour,
or 100 feet per second at the time.
This shows he attempted to stop as
soon as he saw the obstruction, the
statement says.
Formal Statement.
The formal statement of Mr.. Gallo
way follows:
THE coroner's jury in its investiga-
ton of the unfortunate accident at
Berwyn crossing, in which Engineer
j. A. Ward and Fireman L. B. Walter
lost their lives and Fireman j. w.
Lundy was burned, as a result of a
train colliding with an automobile on
the crossing. either failed to develop or
entirely ignored the fundamental facts
that would be expected to influence an
intelligent investigation, and their find
ings are such glaring inconsistency
and so absurd and ridiculous that
the unjust criticism of Engineer j.
A. Ward cannot go unchallenged.
Mr.. Ward was an outstanding engi-
neer, intelligent and competent in the
handling of a passenger locomotive, as
has been demonstrated in his handling
of important high-speed passenger
trains between New York and Washing
ton, and his outstanding ability was
recognized by the management Of the
Baltimore & Ohio, who are responsible
for the competency of the men en-
gagged in train service, and to hold
that he should have seen and stopped
before striking this obstruction is ar
unwarranted aspersion upon him anc
the splendid men who make up the
personnel of locomotive enginemen, who
deserve and do receive at the hands
of intelligent understanding the credit
that is properly due them for Their
work.
Going "a Miles an Hour.
Assuming. for the sake or argument
that the jury is correct that Engineer
Ward should have seen this car on thu
track, because he is alleged to have
had half mile sight of 1t, and stopped
before striking it. At the time of TIT
accident the passenger train was run
mig westward toward Washington anc
passed around the curve at Branch
Vile and on to the tangent, Whlcf
gave the first view of Berwyn station
where it was possible to see stralgh
ahead, and at this time the train wa

The state of Washington has {
great potential treasure in thu
vast deposits of coal within it:
bounds. Since this state has reach
ed point where it's future growth
depends upon judicious and immed-
late development of its sources
these coal deposits should be con-
sidered carefully.
The proper and profitable ex-
ploitation of these coal deposits
depends upon the preparation Of
special products from them, and
upon processing the coal itself SO
that it may compete in efficiency
and economy with other fuels. A
start in this direction has been
made, but success is uncertain.
Aid in this development would
be forthcoming from an organic
ed effort by Washington CONNER
cia1 groups to give these efforts
substantial support and encourage
ment. The next generation will
surely begin the harvest of this
rich crop. The process, however,
should be greatly fastened. Sno-

Perhaps we, who live here,
don't appreciate the wonderful
winter weather we have been ex-
periencing, but to visitors it is
quite apparent. Fred Irvine, the
blind publisher of the Oregon
Journal, in company with Robert
Smith, Portland banker, stopped
over in their private car Wednes-
day and the warm day caused
them to comment favorably. When
told of Kennewick's early and long
growing seasons especially adapt
ed to the cultivation of the high
priced early crops they were even
more impressed. w. C. Muldrow,
manager of the Columbia district
and the local editor were luncheon
guests of Mr.. Smith on his car,
at which time the refinancing
plans for the district were gone
into in detail. Mr.. Smith is inter-
ested as banker and bondholder
and he approves of the method
which is being pursued in the re-
financing plans. His visit here
should prove Of no small value to
the district.
