Mrs; Mygatt Says One of Last Bequests
of Her Son Was to Look After
Baby He Claimed.
UNITED FI1ESS LEASED WISE.
Tacoma, July 14. Determined to
solve the mystery that Ehroudcd the
fatoful romance of her son, E. B. My
gatt, which culminated in his attempt
to throw Mrs. Frances Allen, of Port
land over the Lincoln bridge here before
leaping to his own death, Mrs. C. P. My
gatt, of. Independence, Mo., is in Taco
ma today, interrogating persons famil
iar with the facts of the tragedy of
June 20.
Mrs. Mygatt arrived in the city yes
terday, and, although never here before,
she walked directly to the exact spot on
the bridge whore her son took the fatal
plunge. The bereaved mother could not
explain the occult manner in which she
identified the bridge, and almost the
identical plank whore Mygott had
stood. ,
Letters found by the police indicated
that Mrs. Allen had once been in love
ith Mygatt, but at the time of the
tragedy she said her affections belonged
wholly to her husband, who was some
where in New York. In her missives
to Mygatt, Mrs. Allen rofcrred to her
child in such a way that officers were
not wholly convinced that Mygatt was
not the babe's father.
"One of the last requests from my
boy was to look after the baby, which
ho said was his, if anything happened
to him," said Mrs. Mygatt today. "Ho
told me to go to the Allen home in
Portland, get the child and raise it. I
shall try to carry out that request."
Mrs. Mygatt will remain here for sev
eral days, nad then will go to Portland,
afterwards going to The Dalles, Ore.,
where Mygatt was omployed by the Ore

A statement notifying trainmen of

'A conference of committee manag

has dealt with three labor controversies
the present one, one with the engin
eers and another with the firemen Its
policy has never chnnged. Thev have
refused to be coerced by threats of
strike into paying railroad employes
wages out of all proportion to the du
ties performed.
'The managers have been consistent
i contending that tho Erdman act pro

Judging from your letter of tho 13th.
we take it that you will agree to arbi

that called for in the Newlands bill, the
passing of which, representatives of the

acted, the railroads' conference com

SAYS BRAKES TO BLAME
Motorman Asserts That He Made Stren
uous Efforts to Stop Train When
He Saw Signals.
UNITED MESS LEASED WIIH5.
Los Angeles, July 14. Thirteen per
sons were killed and scores injured last
night when two Pacific Electric inter
urban trains collided at Vineyard sta
tion. It was a rear-end collision. Tho
trains were telescoped and the work of
taking out the dead and injured was
slow. i ...
All the cars wore filled with pleasure
seekers returning from the beaches.
Sidney Johnson, of Florence, Cal.,
died today as the result of injuries re
ceived in the wreck.1 His death in
creases the total known fatalities to
thirteen.
Pacific Electric officials reported
late today that Motorman E. P. Forres
ter, who was at the controller of the
train that crashed into the standing
coaches, had returned to his home at
Sherman, in a dazed condition, after
wandering about after the wreck. His
only apparent injury was a bruise at
the base of his skull.
Brakes Failed to Wort
Forrester, according to an official
statement given out by the railroad of
ficials, saw the warning signals of the
standing train's flagman and immedi
ately applied the brakes. 1
'The trains did not stop at once,"
the officials say the motorman report
ed, "and I suddenly saw the tail-lights
of the train ahead. I then applied the
emergency brakes. I must have been
thrown over the rail by the sudden
checking of the car. The next thing I
knew I was; wandering about. I don't
remember the crash. Someone picked
me up and put me in an automobile."
The state offered no explanation why
the train did not stop when the brakes
were applied.
Superintendent White, of the Pacific
Electric company, doclared that the
blame for the accident lies with eithor
Forrester or Conductor Bartholomai, of
the stalled train, who declares he flag
ged Forrester's train and received in
reply the two toots usually given to in
dicate that the signal was understood.
Persons on the standing train said that
the toots Bartholomai said he heard
might have been made by the whistle
of his own train. Passengers asserted
that two boys on the stalled train had
pulled the whistle cord in the conduc
tor's absence. Efforts were made to
day to locate the boys, who were ou the
platform of the standing train.

wreck that brought death to thirteen
