" HELD PENDING INQUEST
Report that Former Had Done
, Work of Two Men Is De
nied by R, R, Officials,
(Unlttd Pn Iaed WU.)
New Haven, Conn., Sept. 4. Engineer
Miller of the White Mountain express,
end Flagman Charles Muirajr of the Bar
Harbor nrnH. ar held In Jail here
" today l connectTonwlTRth collision'
on the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford railroad near Walllngford, Conn..
. Tuesday, when 21 persons were killed
and .10 others injured. Neither man is
.permitted to ftake statements to the
, newspaper men.
Coroner Mjx, a former employe of
the N. J., VI. H. & H. railroad, is con
ducting his Inquest behind closed doors.
Even the names of the witnesses are
not announced.
Newspaper men who attempted to in
terview Miller were told that Coroner
Mix feared he would become excited If
he talked. Both Miller and Murray will
testify before the investigation of the
Interstate Commerce commission, which
starts here tomorrow morning.
Knglneer Miller will be asked at to
morrow's investigation if he had been
doing the work of two men at the time
of the disaster. Railroad officials de
nied reports that Miller was ordered to
make the run on the White Mountain
express Just after coming off duty, on
account of the illness of the regular
engineer.
Coroner Mix admitted a representative
of the Interstate Commerce commission
to the Inquest, and the railroad com
pany sent its books and records, show
ing the operation of Its trains.
Attorney E. C. Terry, representing the
Brotherhood of Railway Firemen, of
fered to provide ball for Miller, but the
officials refusd. There is no 'charge
filed against either Miller or Murray.
Both are held by order of Coroner Mix,
who denied them the right to obtain
counsel. 1
Official Attacks Pullman Company.
Chicago, Bept. 4. "Absurd, prepos
terous and untrue," was the way a
leading railroad 'official here, whose
name is withheld, today characterised
the statement by the Pullman Car com
pany that It is not supplanting more
wooden cars with steel sleepers because
It cannot build them faster.
"It Is ridiculous," said the railroad
official, "for the company to say that
it cannot get enough steel to manu
facture cars as rapidly as it desires. 1
know positively that the company can,
in a short time, obtain sufficient steel
to build more than 4000 rs enough "to
replace all wooden Pullman sleepers
now In operation.
"The real reason is that the Pullman
directors will not let the company
manufacture more steel cars because
they realize that if they substitute the
steel cars, the old fashioned sleepers
must thrown Into the Junk heap at a
flat loss. It la a matter of dollars and
cents with the Pullman directors and
they will not , increase th-output of
steel cars unless ttiey are forced to do
so by the government.
"It alto U untrue that the Pullman
company l.ss furnished 2,000 steel cars
to the railroads in the last three years.
I am certain that not more than 1510
steel cars have been built within that
time.
"Western railroad officials are dis
gusted with the action of the Pullman
company in furnishing the steel can
largely to the trunk lines in the east
and allowing the western llnej to go
without.
The official also confirmed a statu
ment that Pullman contracts provide
that the company cannot be forced to
provide steel cars If competing lines In
the same territory use wooden sleepers.
