MELLEHTOJESTIFY
New Haven's President Will
Face Probers.
EXPERTS TO EXAMINE ENGINE.
Search Is Being Made For Work Book
In Which Dougherty Claims to
Have Entered Report That
Brakes Were "No Good."
Stamford, Conn., June 10. Coroner
John J. Phelan and Prosecutor Carter,
Investigating the rear end collision be
tween the two sections of the New
Yoik-Boston express of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad on
Thursday, are analyzing the testimony
already Riven at the Inquest by Charles
J. Dougherty, the engine driver, whose
locomotive crushed six to death and
Injured a score of others, as well as
the testimony of other witnesses
They are preparing for the expect
ed examination today of Cliarle S.
Mellen, president of the road, and of
y. O. Sauer, assistant superintendent
of he Pullman company In New York
city. Mr. Mellen Is to corae hero to at
tend a hearing of the state public 'itlll
ties commission, and one of his counsel
said that the railroad president would
be n voluntary witness before tlie corn
ner.
Work Book Taken Away.
The paramount question is where
rests the responsibility for the equip
ment of the road. Coroner Phelan will
go deep Into the question of the rea
sons for using an old wooden parlor
car, the alleged stifCness of the revers
ing lever and the nlr brakes of Dough
erty's locomotive and the belief ex
pressed by one New Haven official that
it Is Impossible automatically to com
pel obedience to signals.
The work book, In which Dougherty
testified he entered a complaint that
the air brakes of his locomotive were
"no good," is reported to have been
taken from the roundhouse, about ten
minutes' ride from the courthouse, to
the compnny's offices at New Hnven.
Coroner Phelan will probably make a
formal demand for its production.
"The complnlnt book will be ready
for submission to you whenever you
ore ready for It," Benjamin Spock of
the Now Haven's counsel told the cor
oner. "We could hardly get it here for
Borne time, but it will bo brought, and
with It the man who has charge of it."
Engine Drivers Competent.
When Clayton M. Woodward, general
superintendent of the road, was being
examined the coroner asked:
"Hnve you any engine drivers who
are not fully competent and efficient?"
"Wo believe there are none," replied
Mr. Woodward, "and along that very
lino we hnvo boon giving careful at
tention to our men, holding personal
Interviews with conductors as well as
engine drivers.
"Safety is our first consideration, aiid
wo have Impressed on all engine driv
ers that they should not attempt to
make up time unless they can do it
safely. Wo prefer that they bo lato
rather than take chances. Great at
tention has been pnld to tho drivers in
the last few months."
Mr. Woodwnrd went on to describe
tho efforts made by tho road recently
to rnnko tho men better observe tho
rules. Ho said tho road was constant
ly experimenting with new devices to
make travel safer, to which Coroner
Phelan replied:
"I wish to goodness tho public would
cease to travel 011 this lino until the
experiments you tell mo you are carry
ing on prove successful, don't you?"
John narmon, tho engine driver
whoso place was taken by Dougherty
When Ilarmon was "laid oft" for run
ning by a signal in tho locomotive
which figured in the wreck, said tho
running levers were stiff. He said he
did not have grent trouble with them,
because ho Is heavy 250 pounds.
At the request of Mr. Mellen a body
of air brake experts are to be asked to
examine tho braking apparatus of
Dougherty's locomotive.

I didn't find it so easy, after

you will say so, too, when you

New York, June 10. Beady for the
opening of tho special session of the
legislature today, Governor Sulzer
seemed confident that his state wide
campaign in the interest of direct pri
maries would bear fruit, despite warn
ings given him In some quarters to tho
contrary.
The governor held a secret confer
ence with Edward E. McCall, chair
man of the public service commission,
in the governor's room in the Wal-dorf-Astorla
hotel, but at its conclu
sion neither Mr. Sulzer nor Mr. McCall
would tell what they had discussed.
"We talked over many important
matters." was all either mnn would
say.
Importance wn? attached to tho con
ference by politicians because of the
fact that Mr. MeCnll is looked upon as
the only unbroken link between the
governor nnd Charles F. Murphy and
other Tammany leaders. .
Despite the refusal of the partici
pants in the conference to reveal what
had been the subject of the talk, it
was learned that since his arrival here
the governor has been told plainly that
the Tammany loaders have satisfied
themselves that his campaign for di
rect prlmnrlos has been a losing propo
sition from the outset nnd that his
metropolitan speechmaking tours will
not result In the changing of a single
Tninmany vote.
Governor Says He'll Win.
To these representations it was de
clared the governor flung back the as
sertion that ho still is confident he is
going to win and that popular opinion
Is so strongly in his favor that the
Tammany legislators will not dare
align themselves against him when the
governor's measure Is placed before
them for a vote at the coming special
session of the legislature.
To these assertions of tho governor
It was learned Mr. Murphy nnd the
other Tammany leaders have paid lit-
tlo attention nnd hnve made it plain to
Mr. Sulzer that n careful canvass of
the state senators has convinced them
thnt tho special session will produce a
chnngo of only one senatorial vote.
That vote, the governor has been toldj
will be from up stnte nnd in all proba
bility tho voto of a Republican sena
tor.
Since he renched this city it was de
clared that every effort hns been made
by his friends to convince tho governor
thnt they arc doubtful over tho success
of the campaign ho has been making.
They have told him it was frocly as
serted by Tammany men that tho can-
vasses have convinced Mr. Murphy of
the strength of his own position nnd
that for several days he has evidenced
llttlo or no concern over tho continu
ance of Mr. Sulzer's speechmaking.
Tho governor's answer, however, to
these reports as ho loft tho hotel was
a broad smile and a reiteration of his
previous declarations that ho knows ho
Is going to win.

London, Juno 10. A Scotsman named
Howie, aged seventy, won the Calcutta
derby sweepstake, amounting to $250,'
000. When ho was informed of his
hide ke said sadly, "If a come too ate."
The stock I bring is not sort
ed over in other stables, and
then what is left passed on to
Wayne County farmers! Not
on your life! When it comes
to Horses, there is nothing too
good for the Wayne County
norse buyers.

Many people when planting sweet-
corn In their garden put it in a sin
gle row. Of course it does not ear
or fill out good and they blame it
to the corn. This is not the causo
at all. Corn is a crop that must be
pollenlzed. This can not bo done
when growing In a single row. Plant
It In a block, or square patch, and
your corn will ear and fill out prop
erly. Buckwheat is another crop
that must bo pollenlzed and should
it bo wet when this dust Is ready to
blow It is prevented from doing so by
the moisture adhering to it and
fecundation does not take place.
Some farmers say the sun kills the
buckwheat or prevents it from load
ing; others say foggy weather is
responsible. Those of the latter
class are nearer correct for the fog
moistens the pollen and prevents It
from being carried over unprolinc
plants.
