THK UKKWN SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1920. 13 BLAME FDR CRASH HEAR CHEMAWA IS Board of Inquiry Puts Responsi ' bility on Conductor Record and Brakeman D. W. Christian. i .. Slem, Nov. 27, -Conductor T.'T. Record an4 Brakeman D. W,. Chrls- tian r tire local ireignt tram Into which athrough freight crashed at ' 'Lake Labishr near Chemawa, Wed nesday, were held entirely responsi ble for the wreck, 4n which, five men, including four trainmen and a transient, were injured. - ! TV. a .nH. tu t .( ....... . A this afternoon, said that testimony showed that the . engineer had -whistled 'out the brakeman as the train pulled into Chemawa and that Christian had gone but ?00 to 300 feet back when the through: freight passed, though from five to eight minutes had elapsed. He was supposed 10 go nan a nine 10 uie rear. iThe conductor, according to th'e testi mony, had not talked : with Christian after the train had left Gervals, al though he and others of the crew knew the through freight was following their train. . : Regulations 1 of the company provide that the brakeman shall go back a quar ter of a mile and set out one torpedo, "mil go a quarter of a mile farther back - I id set out two torpedoes and then shall return - to the first torpedo and place a red fusee. The testimony, the report says, showed Christian had apparently placed the red fuse as the through train approached, although he had not gone back the . proper distance. The engineer of the , through , freight answered the signal, , when he saw the fusee, applied the brakes and then saw the rear light of the local freight caboose as his engine struck. The conductor was blamed because he had failed to talk with. the brakeman ' and because no fusees had been put out between Gervais, last stop , of the local ' freight before it reached Lake Labissh. and the place of the accident. Becordf according to the testimony, was riding on the engine. - y --. The board of inquiry wag composed of A. T. Mercler, division superintendent of the Southern Pacific ; D. M. McLauch lln, master mechanic; E. E. Mayo, divi sion engineer ; Harwood Hall, superin tendent of the Chemawa Indian school, ' and a. O, Henderson, a CheHufw aimer chant. It. G. Winter an I. C.

Although badly "bruised and. nearly stunned, Mclver, managed to.. extricate himself from the demolished engine cab and made Tils way painfully back along the track to intercept a passenger train, whiqh was due in a few minutes, In or. der la avoid a second, and perhaps more serious wrecK. v mains a oraaeman from the through freight already on duty Mclver collapsed from the strain and It ' .was necessary to assist hi pi to the hos pital here.
