ENGINEER’S SPREE IS BLAMED FOR WRECK THAT COST 40 LIVES ALBANY. N. V., Jan. 11.—The en gineer had been drinking the night be fore and had slept less than three 1 hours, hence the wreck on the Dela ware. Lackawanna and Western rail road at Corning. N. Y., last Independ ence day, in which 40 persons lost their lives and 75 others were injured. The state public service commission so de clared today after a careful investiga tion. William il. Schroeder, the enjjinet thus accused, was indicted for man slaughter. but never brought to trial, the indictment being dismissed upon motion iff the district attorney. "The primary cause of the wreck." reads the commission’s report, "was the j entire failure of Engineer Schroeder to observe signals. The train into which he ran was protected by a full stop signal 250 feet east of the rear of the I train, by a flagman 2,550 feet east and . by a caution signal nearly 4,500 feet ’ east. All three signals were disre ! gardecL. I "The investigation developed that the engineer 'had disregarded the duty of taking prope ■ rest before attempting the important work of running the ■ train. He acknowledged drinking dur ing the e.voning before the accident. "The action of the engineer should be > considered so much an offense against ! the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi i neers. of which he Is a member, as it is i against the railway and the public."

REACTIONARIES WANT ONLY TO HUSH CLAMOR OF PUBLIC Frown on the Changes Which Would Knock Out Petty Politicians’ Machine. Councilman W. G. Humphrey an nounced today that he was willing to strike out the last paragraph of his resolution creating a charter reform committee, which paragraph pledges council to support wire fever chi'i ter 1- recommended, but that he would con sent to no further concessions the j element' in council which tabled his j resolution at the last meeting of court- ' cil. Indications today were that the re- ! vised rdfeolution, creating a committee < of ten citizens and five eouneiimen to draft a new charter, will pass. However, definite plans of oppo nents of Mayor Woodward to take the appointment of this committee away from him and confine its membership i to members of council became known ! publicly today. Want To Take Power From Woodward. The members of council who are standing as sponsors to the board sys- < tern and the petty politleiars want, to I forestall any recommendations for rad - , i teal charter changes. With the ap- : pointment of the committee out of the hands of Mayor Woodward and made up of eouneiimen. they feel that they can control the matter. If this program is attempted on the floor of council, a vigorous fight will follow. After hearing of the effort. Mayor Woodward was more positive than ever in urging sweeping reforms. He said that some politicians were try ing to block measures xvhlch almost all thinking people in the city demand ed. A report of the plan is that Mayor Pro Tern Warren will be selected to appoint the .committee. Mayor Pro Tem Warren said today that he was as much in favor of charter reforms as any man in Atlanta, and that he not only xvould not join in any move to ob struct, but that he would do all in his power to aid the people to get what they want. Politicians To Frame New Charter. Following tile mass meeting of citi zens which adopted a resolution re questing Mayor Woodward immediate ly to appoint the ten citizens who are to be members of the committee. May - or Woodward said he supposed lie would appoint them. These appointments will give council convincing proof that the agitation is not prompted by factional politics. No memblr oj council nor board member has yet taken an open stand against charter reforms. Hut the poli cians are seeking every effort to frame the revised charter, thereby pre venting any fundamental changes, es pecially such changes as would affect any considerable number of officials and employees. The reactionaries want to make changes that would stop the complaints of voters and allow the old machine of petty politicians to remain intact. “MARRY FIRST NICE YOUNG MAN," ADVICE MISS MARBURY GIVES NEW YORK, Jan 11 “Marry the] first nice young man that comes along I is the advice giv< n Working girls by ‘ Mrs. Elizabeth Marbury who.
