discovery of ".three or more
bodies." .
F. E. Williamson, president of
the New York Central, said it
was "impossible'' to "learn ' the
cause of the accident Immedi
ately, but the system's New York
City office said the locomotive's
speedometer showed it was roar
ing westward 14 miles an hour
faster than the regulation 45 mile
speed for operation around the
curve. It was 15 minutes behind
schedule leaving Albany 60 miles
away.
"Everything now known Indi
cates that the road bed, track and
equipment were in first class con
dition, and the engine man ex
perienced and with an unusually
good service record," Williamson
asserted.
Death sealed the Hps of Engi
neer Jesse Earl of Albany, vet
eran of 41 years on the Central
and eligible next month for a
pension, the one man who prob
ably could have explained the ca
tastrophe. He died in the bat
tered cab of the locomotive which
bolted the rails and- hurtled a
highway. The impact tossed his
fireman. J. Y. Smith, of Schenec
tady, 27 years with the system,
to instant death.
The locomotive carried with it
the tender and baggage car. A
mail car, uncoupled, sped -down
the track undamaged with its
lone occupant, A. A. Hill, a rail
roader for 20 years. Bu-t strewn
in its wake was the wreckage of
seven pullmans. From these, two
of which tilted precariously near
the edge of the New York state
barge canal.- most of the bodies
were removed.
The scene, at the foot of Jut
ting hills, where the line has
four parallel tracks, was ghastly.
Feet of Home of the victims pro
truded from the wreckage. Every
where lay the dead, the injured,
their, clothing, and personal ef
fects, and twisted metal.
Hospitals of this city of 10,000
population and neighboring com
munities were jammed to ca
pacity. Heart-rending were the stories
of survivors and rescuers.
"It was hell." said Giles
Brown. 22, a Little Falls garage
mechanic who teas one of the
first on the scene. "I groped
through a car to find a woman
with her dying husband in her
arms. ,,
"The Inside of these cars could
not have been worse if a hurri
cane struck them. There was
blood all over and people were
screaming . and moaning. The
steel of the cars was wrapped
around some of the bodies."
It was the first passenger fa
tality on the New York Central
system in 13 years. In 1903 a
wreck on the same curve killed
three train crewmen. Last year,
the system received the Harri
msn award for passenger safety.

Then, In a frank bid for anoth

president contended "that Amer

as proven liberal actio instead of
taking a . "long chance" with a
party "historically founded on
conservatism."-
After raerricg to what he
termed "studied generalities," put
forth by the republican party, Mr.
Roosevelt said that young people
and all others knew what
sticky fly paper looked like.
"We will be most careful to
keep our feet and our heads away
from the fly paper, all this coming
summer and fall," he concluded,
"because we are possessed of
