Hy Associated Press•
Washington, July I.—An unidentified tramp, killed in the
X<w York Central Railroad wreck at Dunkirk this morning was,
according to reports to the railroad administration, probably the
cause of the tragedy. The mechanism controlling the flow of
air from the locomotive to the brakes on the train was found shut
off at the place where the tramp was riding.
Had to Use Torches
The official report says that when the locomotive of train
N'o. 7 < xploded after telescoping the steel pullmans it drove the
wreck into such a tangled mass that I'. C. C rowley, general mana
ger of the New York C entral, who was in Dunkirk, had to order
acetylene flame torches to separate the wreckage.
Fhe official report to the railroad administration puts the
known dead at nine, the mortally injured at three; the seriously
hurt at seventeen, and does not gi\e the number of lesser wound
ed although it is -aid to be large.
Brakes Right at Buffalo
The preliminary investigation has developed that on leaving
the Buffalo yards the engineer of tiain No. 7 testtel his brakes
three times and found them working, and had no further occa
sion i . use them until running into Dunkirk, when he encoun
tered a caution ignal registered by No, 11 st; nding in Dunkirk
station. \\ hen he applied the air. it acted on the locomotive and
tender only and was not communicated ti the cars following. The
train crew states that the engineer whistled f< r haml brakes but
urforr th■ \ could he used No. 7 clashed into the standing No. 41.
Angle Cock Is Closed
\- the wreckage was cleared die crushed body of the tramp
twas i< und on the "head end," the narrow space between the ten
der and the firs' car of the train. '[ he angle cock controlling the
flow of air through the brake pipes was closer . It probably will
never be developed whether the man unwittingly closed it with
his foot, as he used the cock as a step to lift h.m'self up onto the
car. or whether it was done intentionally.

"The. department does not in

of prohibition. Only those who had

War-time prohibition, banning for
the time being all distilled liquors
and leaving in a cloud of doubt the
future of beer, was effective at mid
night. Exemption of beer from the

Paris. July I.—Speedy ratification j
of the Peace Treaty with Germany J
b" three of the great powers whose ]
ratification, together with that of ;
Germany, is necessary to make the j

SALOONS REOPEN FOR
SALE OF BEER AFTER
A NIGHT OF REVELRY
Every Hotel in City and County Ready
to Continue Sale of 2% Per Cent. Brew
Except Lochiel and Hershey House
Harrisburg's saloons opened
quietly this morning after being
closed tighter than a drum for a
few hours in the middle of the
night.
Bartenders, who joyously trooped
back to their jobs after going home
in the small hours of the morning
expecting to take a long vacation,
reported that business was fair. Men
who had "welcomed" prohibition
last night expecting to see no more
of the intoxicants ambled into the
hotels by ones and twos just to see
how things were getting along un
der the ruling made by Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer that no
prosecutions will be ordered where
2% per beer is sold.
"Just ljke going to a funeral ex
pecting to view the corpse and then
to find that old John Barleycorn is
still alive," said-one man who went
to bed never expecting to see the
inside of a saloon again.
Two liars Quit
Two old bars, however, passed out
for all time. The manager of the
Ivochiel announced this morning that
they will clear out their fixtures.
Similar announcement was made
several days ago at the Hershey
House, -neither bar taking out the
July monthly license.
There was little whisky and gin
in the local stocks left after the
raids of last night. The shelves and
cellars of virtually all the whole
sale houses were ceaned bare by
the last minute crowds. The stocks
of "hard" liquors also was greatly
reduced in the hotels. None of this
was for sale to-day, all the saloon

A Holiday Spirit
The central part of the city was
surcharged with an air that was al
together peculiar, to the occasion.
The crowd was tilled with a feeling
akin to that of a holiday. Hundreds
of men frankly were out to visit old
haunts for the last time, a few to get
insensibly drunk and hundreds of
others to join in as spectators.
The big crowds which surged up
and down Market street was in good
humor. To hear the shouts and
cheers the spectators would have
gained the impression that the crowd
really was glad that old John Bar
leycorn had beet) given a death blow.
The throngs in all the saloons fre
quented by the better class of men
were remarkably free from trouble
makers despite the evident hilarity
of the crowjl.s.
