INMATES OFFER
BLOOD DONATIONS

At their own urgent request, 70
inmates OF the Cheshire reforma-
tory will donate blood to the
American Red Cross blood bank,
according to announcement by
Supt. George S. Erskine. Among
the donors will be a third of the
reformatory's population, Doth
white and colored.
In recent petition, the young
men stated that as good Ameri-
cans, they wished to do their part
in the war, and not being able to
serve with the armed forces, they
wished to contribute their blood,
and thus perhaps save the lives of
soldiers at the front. Several other
inmates under 81 also wished to
donate blood, but will not be per-
mitteG to.
Equipment will be brought from
the New Haven hospital in about
ten days to take the blood.

the Cleveland Express, the engineer
signaled his f1agman to rejoin the
train. Leaving the torpedo, the flag
man, who was killed in the wreck,
hoped on the rear end of the train.
Presumably he did not hear the ap-
preaching Ambassador, or he would
have remained on the ground to
make sure that the oncoming train
stopped.
The Cleveland express had pro-
ceeded only few hundred feet when
the Ambassador rounded a curve at
a high speed and crashed into the
rear cars of the other train.
Under railroad regulations, an en-
gineer is required to reduce the speed
Of his train by one half as soon as
he sees the yellow light and must be
prepared to come to a full stop If
the light at the next block, two miles
distant, shows red. Formerly it was
said, enginemen were supposed to
proceed with caution" after sight
ing yellow light, but this order was
recently revised to assure greater
safety 50 that engineers must act at
once to reduce the speed OF their
train by one half.

Wreckage Cut With Torches.
All through the night at least six
teams Of men with acetylene torches
were busy cutting away wreckage
into pieces small enough for rail-
road cranes to pull clear OF the
tracks. In one place the debris of
several coaches and tons of steel
pipe that had been thrown from the
freight train formed a solid mass of
steel 10 to IL feet deep, across the
full width of the 3O-foot cut and
for about 80 yards along the rail-
road right Of way.
Two cranes were pulling the
wreckage of to the side. A 100 ton
crane sent from the Washington
Terminal was working its way into
tho wreckage from the east. The
other, 125-ton crane, sent from
Brunswick, Md, was clearing the
tracks from the west side.
An automotive derrick sent out
by the b. & o. was perched on the
brirn of the north bank overlooking
the gorge and was dragging out tons
Of 10-inch steel pipe.
At 10 o'clock last night more than
500 persons had assembled along
the banks to watch the rescue work.
Flood lights were set up by the
railroad and volunteer fire COM
panies from nearby communities.
About 60 Maryland State Police off,
GERS had been rushed to the scene
and remained on duty throughout
the night. Many were detailed to
traffic duty in Dickerson and along
the highways leading into town to
handle the stream of automobiles
that converged on the scene Of the
wreck. Maj. Edward M. johnson
Of the State Police was in charge.

In addition, details Of the State

Express was forced to stop to make
repairs to . defective compressed
air pump which controlled the air
brakes. The engineer signaled his
f1agman to protect the rear end OF
the train, and the f1agman walked
several hundred feet down the track
and remained there ready to warn
any approaching trains. At the
same time he fastened torpedo to
one of the rails. Such torpedoes
explode with a sound audible to the
engineer above the rear of the train
and are a signal for him to stop at
once.
Preliminary investigation by rail-
road officials has indicated that the
automatic block signals were work
ing at the time of the accident.
Under this signal arrangement, a
yellow or warning light should have
indicated to the engineer of the AM
baSsador that the signal at the be-
ginning of the next block two miles
away would be red and that he
should be prepared to stop in front
Of this light. The train that was
struck was in the next block on the
other side of the red light.

Wreckage Cleared Except Engine.
All the wreckage had been cleared
from the tracks except for the giant
Diesel engine which had rammed
the rear end Of the express and
hurled the wreckage against fast
freight train passing on the other
track. The Diesel was still lying
on its side, and it was believed the
eastbound track would not be
cleared for trafic until mid latter
noon.
Although many of the circum-
stances that led up to the terrifying
crash in the early morning fog were
still shrouded in mystery, certain
facts were beginning to emerge to-
day. AS closely as it can be recon-
structed from trainmen, passengers,
witnesses and others connected with
the accident, the following events
occurred just before the crash:
