WRECK UNDER WAY [Continued From First Page] Commission, the Utilities Commission of Ohio and various department heads of the New York Central were con ducting investigations in Cleveland and at other points in the vicinity of the wreck. Coroner Charles Garver, of Lorain county, planned to begin an inquest at Elyria Into the death or the wreck victims and I lie causes leading thereto. The question of whether the so called "death coach" on train No. 86 was of modern steel construction as claimed by New York Central offi cials or was mainly of wood construc tion promised to be an important fea ture of the investigation. Railroad officials to-day were still divided in opinion as to whether the (blame should be placed upon the towerman who, it is alleged by some officials, was asleep and failed to give the proper signal, or upon the engi neer who they say it may be shown either railed to see the signal or ex ceeded his orders. 27 Rod ics Recovered Of the more than forty persons In iured in the wreck, several were said to be in a precarious condition early to-day and further fatalities were feared. Railroad officials say that only twenty-seven bodies have been recovered and that they regard it as impossible that more bodies are in the ruins. Unofficial, but what was re garded as reliable reports, late yester day placed the number of dead at thirty. It is believed the actual num ber of dead may be a matter of un certainty for some hours at least. The two men at whom most of the questions were to be directed at to day's investigation to be held in the offices of Division Superintendent W. F. SchafT, were Engineer Herman Hess, of the second section of train 86 and Towerman A. it. Ernst, of Amherst. Engineer D. W. Leonard, of the first section of train 86, which pulled the "death car." asserts he stopped his train on a signal originating in Ernst's tower. No Signal for Second Train Engineer Hess declares he saw no signal when he brought his section booming alonf? at a fifty miles an hour speed about three minutes later. Ernst asserts he set no stop signal, declaring the line was open for Engi neer Leonard to go ahead. If Ernst is held culpable in the in vestigation, the blame will trace back to a baby's tiny crib in the Ernst home at Elyria. The baby was born Sunday night. Since that time Ernst has had little sleep, railroad officials say. Baby May Be To Blame Ernst, the towerman, early to-day made a statement in which he stoutly denied that he was asleep or that he was incapacitated by loss of sleep, lie asserted that he set the signal prop eriv, but that it failed to work, and, that the accident was caused thereby. , "While my wife was ill," said Ernst, , "r got my regular sleep and was about | mv duties as usual. The signal simply I failed to work. The Is all." It. W. Belnap, representing the Interstate CommerceCom-mission,early i to-day opened the federal investigation at a downtown hotel. A. S. Ingalls. general superintend- I ent of the New York Central lines west of Buffalo. sought out Belnap at the hotel shortly after his arrival anil spent an hour in laying before liim all the railroad officials had learned so far in their investigations of the cause of the accident Asserts Signal Failed Belnap was joined here l»>" Oeorge E.

Packard, inspectors for the Slate Utilities Commission', began their informal Investigation simultaneously. SuuulemeuUnx his statement, Tow- j MARCTT 30, 1016. crman Ernst said: "If the signals had been working properly the block signal light two miles away would have Hashed a cau tion and the block a mile away would nave signaled Hess to come to a dead stop. Mess was too good an engineer (o run past two signals set against him. "I was on the lookout for train 80. When it was two miles away I threw the signal lever into tlie clear, giving Sti a clear path. I refTljzcd there had been a signal failure when the train stopped. When the train had stopped, T again jammed the signal lever into the clear, and this time it must have worked, for the train started ahead. Then the crash came.
