Officials Begin Investiga tion of Roebling Trolley Wreck in Which One Man Was Killed MOTORMAN CALLED A HERO TRAIN SPEEDINGftS IS SAID Tracks have been cleared of wreck age at Itordentown, and a probe is now on to determine, If possible, the cnuse jor me fatal wreck on Sunday night. At that time an Atlantic City-New York express trnln crashed Into the rear of a Camden -Trenton local, killing two per sons and injuring seventeen. Wrecking crews from Camden nnd Honlentown had the tracks open for irnine ny u o'clock yesterday morning. The two rear cars of the local train, which were demolished, have been burned. 'llic Pennsylvania Hallrond Co. has M' pointed n committee of three men. ald to be composed of experts from the trainmaster's office, the operating de partment nnd the signal department, to piobe Into the causes of the smash -up. A report will be made by this committee to the general manager of the road. An Investigation has also been started by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The officials and people of Ilurllngton County have demanded that Coroner I George J. lcconey, of Delanco, make a full investigation into the wreck, as it Is declared the express train was trav eling nt excessive speed when" it en tered Burlington. The town has nn ordinance that no train pass through at a faster rate than fifteen miles nn hour, and it Is declared this rule is frequently violated. Frank Itend, of Kurlington. a witness nf the accident , said he had left the local train and was walking along when he heard tho express coming. "I thought something was going to happen," he sold, "so I watched and saw the express hit tlio local. The express wns travel ing nt high speed." Numerous other eye-witnesses of the accident hnvo been located, and n full description of the ncculent nnd attendant incidents will not be difficult 'to obtain. It is snld. All the witnesses declare the express was traveling at excessive speed. . TO REBURY SOLDIER Private Frank Ewell Will Have MIL tary Funeral Private Frank Hnrnes Ewell. who died In Onse Hospital No. 17. in France, August 14, 1018, following wounds received August 4, at Chateau -Thierry, will be buried tomnrrdw afternoon nt 2 o'clock. The services will be from the home of his mother. Mrs. Cecilin Ewell. nt 173S South Second street. Mrs. Ewell is n widow, and she lins lost another son and n daughter in the" last two years. The services will he conducted at 1 P. M. by the Itev. II. Cresson Mcllenry, at the Church of St. John the Evangelist. Third and Heed streets. Interment will 'be in Fernwood ( 'enietery. 1 County nnd Stntc officials nnd officers of the Public Service Corporation nrc Investigating the fatal trolley collision yesterday afternoon near Roebling, N.' T., in which one man wns killed and forty-one persons .injured. Chnrles Conklln. of Hlverside, con ductor of one of the cnrs.Nnhd the mnn who was killed, could have given the clearest explanation of the accident. The point where the collision occurred Is rn a single-track line, tho cars usjns sidings to pass each other. Ilctore en tering the block where the cars crashed, Conklln telephoned to tlio dispatcher's office nt Hlverside, and repented aloud to his motormnn, II. C. Lewis, of Pal myra, the order to go Into the block. , Oeorge Ferrlcks, of Itivcrslde. was the motorman of the east-bound car. It has not been learned whether or not he had been given a "clear" signal to take him into the block. It Is this point principally that the Investigators' are endeavoring to clear up. Lewis, according to the passengers on the west-bound enr, was the hero of the disaster. He saw that n crash wns Inevitable, as his car was coasting down a steep grade and the eust-bound car wns revealed only when he swung a shnrp curve. Had he struck the east bound car with undiminished speed both vehicles would have rolled down an cmbankmwt, with probable heavy loss of life. lytwis Sets Drakes Lewis, with death leaping toward him, threw off the powers set his air brakes, nnd whirled the hand brnkc, throwing all his strength into his efforts to stop the car. He xet, the hand brake ai-nrmiy as -ne couiu, iockcu it, ana sprang bnck into the car only at the Inst second before the crash, Conklln, the conductor, was standing on the front platform beside the motor man. The force of the collision hurled him through the front window nnd Into the wreckage, between the two cars. It was Impossible to extricate him. Wreckage in Flames Wires torn down by the collision, heavily charged, set the wreckage on fire. Flames burst out fiercely and in n few moments Involve the splintered woodwork in which Conkliu Wns buried. The uninjured passengers and ninny of those less severely hurt, made repeated ifforts tosavp him. They were forced to give up nt lust, when the timbers of the burning roof fell about him, bury ing him from sight. A faint "good hy" wns the last heard from the doomed man. Fire companies hurrying to the scene were held up, it is alleged, by n bridge tender, who refused to let them pans over borne "green" concrete rondwn. After parleying with him, angry civil ians who came up threatened to throw tho man into the -reek if he interfered, then tore aside u barricade 61 lo-u'. and let the fire npparatus through. Though the firemen worked heroi cally, they could not get Conklin out. When his body wns found it was burned beyond recognition. , None of the many passengers ii'juied wns seriously hur.
