Dublin, Jan. 11. (By Associ
ated Press.) Arthur Griffith,
new president of the Dail Eireann,
and his cabinet, assumed today
the places to which they were
elected yesterday. It was recog

Wreck Blamed
On Operating
Force By Board
Because the slogan of the Ore
gon-Washington railroad "Safe
ty First" meant nothing except
a combination of words, seven per-
sons went to their death and 73
others were injured in the head-on
collision of two passenger trains
at Celilio on December 1, last, ac
cording to the public service Com.
mission apparently exonerates the
investigations of the fatal wreck
were made public here today.
With its trains operating under
unusual conditions, due to an
emergency, the officials of the
road had failed to surround the
operation of its trains with such
precautions as should have been
forthcoming in an emergency, the
order points out. While the com-
misison apparently exonerates the
crew of train No. 17 from all
blame for the accident and de
clares that train No. 12 "should
not have occupied the eastbouad
main track" on which the wreck
occurred, responsibility for the ac
cident is distributed among all
who were in any way responsible
for the operation of the two trains
from the humblest employe to the
highest official.

Fight to fix the ownership of
the car driven by E. G. Osborne
on July 2 when two people met
their death at the intersection of
the Pacific highway and Brooks
Mt. Angel road, on Homer Ross,
automobile dealer of McMinnville,
continued today in the $9900
damage suit brought by M. S.
Ramp against Osborne, Ross and
the Oregon Rubber company in
the circuit court.
Osborne was niit on the stand
this morning and under a grilling
cross examination, conducted by
Walter .Wimslow and Roy Shields,
representing the plaintiff, stated
that he had an agreement with
Ross regarding the car tirevious
to the accident, whereby he had
agreed to sell the car it Ross
would give him an order for $500
worth ot tires.
The witness said that he drove
the car to Roseburg and falling
to sell it on the way down, or re
turning, telephoned Ross from
Albany asking if he might take
the car to Portland. Ross objected,
with the remit that - Osborne
agreed to buy the car over the
phone. This happened on July 1,
the day before the accident.
Another matter which directed
the fire of the plaintiff's attor
neys, was whether or not Osborne
was in the employ of the 'Oregon
Rubber company. Evidence was in
troduced in the . records this
morning in the form of letters
showing the relationship existing
between Osborne and the company
which claims to have discharged
the defendant previous to the ac
cident. Osborne testified that while he
had been discharged he was still
taking orders for the company as
a matter of accommodation to its
patrons and In the hope that he
could establish a record and gain
reinstatement on the selling staff
of the concern at a higher salary.
Speed Estimates Vary
Conflicting testimony regarding
both the speed of the Ramp car
and the speed of Osborne's car was
given yesterday 'by witnesses call
ed to the stand. Walter Thomp
son, Salem police officer, testified
that Osborne was going 45 miles
an hour when he passed him Just
previous to the accident. Frank
Meves, following the Ramp car
on a motorcycle, said that he had
seen the Osborne car approach
the scene of the accident and that
It was traveling between 40 and
45 miles, though D. S. Gosser,
truck driver for the Salem Kings
Products company, alao follow
ing the Ramp car, Btated that the
motorcycle was nowhere in evi
dence at the time of the accident.
Osborne testified that his car
could not make above twenty five
miles an hour.
A motion for non-suit, brought
charging the Ramps with contrib
utory negligence and asserting
that the plaintiffs had not estab
lished that Ross was owner of the
car, or that Osborne was in the
employ of the rubber company,
was overruled by the court, after
arguments which lasted until mid
night, because the defendants
were unable to prove that Ross
was not the owner of the car, or
day ealled by Governor Olcott fori that Osborne was not in the em-
further consideration of the urug'pi0Jr 0f the rubber company, ana
evil. I that the "accusation of contrlbu
tory negligence was a fact wnlcB.

the evidence in the case.
