Express Trains Crash in Fog
Near Talford Crossing
Engine Plows Through Five
Passenger Coaches XQ Are
Hurt.
OLD FASHIONED SIGNALS
HELD CAUSE OF WREBK
Catastrophe Occurs on First
Day of New Road Head's
Administration New Signal
System Now in Preparation.
NKW HAVEN, Conn.. Sept. 2.
From ten to twenty-five persons were
killed and seventy-live injured shortly
before i:30 this morning when the
White Mountain express, southbound
on the New Haven load, crashed into
the rear end of the Par Harbor ex
press No. 91 at Talford crossing a
mile north of North Haven, Conn.,
eight miles from this city.
Farly estimates greatly exceeded the
list of killed, which it is stated will
not exceed lifteen.
The Par Harbor express had stop
ped at a banjo signal which was set at
stop. In the dense fog the following
train failed to see the train ahead ana
plowed through five of the rear
coaches, all of which were heavily
loaded.
Coroner iMix of this city was Imme
diately notitied and with a corps of
physicians was quickly on the scene.
The dead and wounded were scattered
along the tracks and many of them
were gathered together as quickly as
possible and taken to New Haven
Wallingfortl trolley line not far distant
where they were started for the New
Haven hospital. This stretch of road
is being equipped at the present time
with a new ssytem of signals to re
place the old style banjo signals which
haT been in use for many years.
These signals had been condemned
fowowmg a wreck on the line of road
between this city and Hartford, by
the Connecticut public utilities com
mittee. It was only recently announced
following the series of wrecks on the
road that the signal system would be
greatly changed.
Hy a curious coincidence, this is the
first day of the administration of Pres.
Howard Elliott on the New Haven
road, succeeding Pres. Charles S. Mel
len, whose resignation followed a se
ries of attacks upon his management
of the road.
All the available ambulances were
rushed from this city to the scene of
the wreck.
It w;ts decided to send the injured
to this city by trolled and the first
carload arrived at the New Haven
hospital shortly before 9 o'clock.
It was said that the dead were still
l.vjng beside the wreck and that many
of the injured were also being cared
for temporarily pending removal to
hospitals. The scene of the wreck is
at Talford crossing, a mile from the
nearest station and telephone and in
a sparsely settled section. The White
Mountain express was No. 95, and tho
first section of the train, while it was
the second section of the Par Harbor
express.
A. R. Miller of North Haven, was
engineer on train No. 9.". which crash
ed into the train ahead. He jumped
and saved himself. He was inter
v iewed by coroner's physician Good
rich of North Haven, shortly after the
wreck occurred and said:
"Owing to the fog I was unable to
read the banjo signals along the line
of the road without running very close
to them. We came to the banjo sig
nal - mile north of the oNrth Haven
station, which was set against us. I
immediately applied the emergency
brake, but the crash came before I
could net action on the brake. There
was absolutely no chance to stop."
Conductor Also ll-caixx.
K H. Fowler, conductor of No. 9 5,
also escaped uninjured. He told Pr.
Good rich that Engineer Miller's
statement was correct so far as he
was able to observe. He said there
was absolutely no chance to see but
a few feet ahead owing to the fog.
Conductor D. C. Adams. of train No.
said that his train stopped at the
signal a few minutes after 7 o'clock.
They were standing there but a min
ute when the. crash came.
This statement was issued by the
New Haven road at 9:?,0 a. m.:
"At T o'clock this morning the
first section of the White Moun
tain express No. 9.". ran into the
rear end of the second section of
the Par Harbor express No. 9". at
North Haven. The two rear sleep
ers of the Par Harbor train were
telescoped. Thirteen dead have
been removed from the wreck and
twenty are injured."

while confined in the prison. Davis
was sentenced to prison about five
years ago on the charge of forgery.

CUMMINS ATTACKS
"SHORT SELLING"
Pronounces Practice as the
"Greatest Vice" of Day and
Dangerous to Financial
Strength of Country.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. - "Short
selling", on tho New York stock ex
change, the Chicago board of trade
and on cotton, produce and stock ex
changes generally, was attacked by
Sen. Cummins in the senate Monday
as the "greatest vice" of the day, and
a menace that threatens the indus
trial and financial strength of the
country.
Supporting an amendment he had
offered to the tariff bill proposing a
ten per cent tax on all trades where
tho seller did not actually own the
property sold, Mr. Cummins delivered
a vigorous criticism of stock and pro
duce exchange operations, and urged
that congress do its utmost to dis
courage or prohibit fictitious trading,
which he characterized as "gambling"
Called Gambling.
Transactions on the New York
stock exchange for 1912 were cited
by Cummins to show the extent of the
"gambling", which he declared was
breaking down the moral fiber of the
business community and saddling im
mense burdens on the public in the
way of fictitious value of stocks. The
sale of stock of some railroads and
industrial corporations, he declared,
had been from ten to as high as 25
times the entire stock issue of the
road, while but a small proportion f
stock had actually changed hands.
Sen. Cummins declared tho stock
exchange should be restricted to actu
al sales. "As it is now, it is not a
place for the transfer of actual com
modities," he added. "It is a place
where experienced and reckless and
unscrupulous men balance their wit..
It Is a place where menof great men
tal capacity and audacity as well,
fight a battle of supremacy, employing
not the means which ought to inllu
enco the price of commodities but
every means which may tend to af
fect the price of things in which
they have dealing."
lie declared the old Louisiana lot
tery was a "pink tea compared with
this orgy of vice," represented in
the stock exchange.

of nearly every one w.us a sympathetic
word for Thaw. Taking cognizance of
this and of the outbnak of last Wed
nesday, when Thaw was cheered in
court as a hero, the judge decided
that the wisest course would be to ex
clude spectators.
Reporters Outido.
Reporters also are to be barred.

representing New York are to tako

who will doubtless line the streets

Thaw's lawyers maintained Monday
night that the writ having been sued

New York were equally emphatic in
declaring that Thaw sould be released
and seized for deportation. Poth sides
were prepared to light to tho last
