Jersey Train Wreck
Laid 10 High Speed
ey the Assoeioted Press

NEWARK, N. j., June 27.-The
State Public Utility Commission
yesterday blamed excessive speed
for the Woodbridge commuter
train wreck last February which
took IS lives and injured hundreds.
The report said the speed of
the Pennsylvania train, THE
Broker" was so to IS miles an
hour.
Direct responsibility for opera
ton of the North Jersey shore
train was on the engineer and the
conductor under the rules Of the
railroad, the PUG report said.
The PUG said the engineer, Jo-
seph F. Fitzsimmons. did not re-
duce the speed Of the train to 25
miles an hour at the Woodbridge
temporary trestle as required in a
general order of the railroad.
The report declared that the
entire effectiveness of the speed
restriction at Woodbridge depend
ed on the memory of the engi-
neer. He had to remember the
general order, the report said, for
the railroad had placed no lights
or other signals to indicate an
approach to the slow-speed zone.
Mr.. Fitzsirnmons' testimony at
the hearings the PUG held on the
wreck was confused and contra
dictory. the PUG report said.
