Political Success of a Former South

Frank G. Tudor was a member of the
Smith Norwalk Hat Makers' Associa-

pioyoe of the Crofut & Knapp Com-
pany's shop No. 2. He is a native of
Australia, but has spent considerable
time in the United States and Eng
land. Ill writing of his election Mr.
’I‘udor says: "I will give you a fair
ideal of what our paIllanient is and
what We expect it to do. There are
five states on the continent of Austral
iii—«namely, Victoria. New South
Wales, Queensland. South Australia.
West Australia and the island of Tus-
IIIania. All of these agreed to feder.
ate eighteen months ago and the first
piIIliament was selected last March. i

which had but sixty- six members. I

last week. in which seventeen lives
Irere lost. In reply to questions asked
by District Attorney Jerome. Mr.
li‘rankiln said twenty-eight miles an
hour was maximum speed contemplat-
ed when the schedule for trains run-
Iilug through the tunnel was made. lin-
dcr favorable conditions he thought
the Empire state express, running at
the rate of twenty-eight miles an hour
could be stopped within 450 feet. by the
use of emergency brakes. A train of
ten cars could be stopped in 000 feel.
even under unfavorable conditions.

"is it not a fact that even old engi-
neers run past danger signals in broad
daylight. even on a clear day?" asked
the district attorney.

Witness said this had occurred.

“Then there Is nothing to prevent an
engineer from making a terrible mis—
take?“

“Nothing. but theI signals."

Several reports made by engineers
were then offered as evidence.

One engineer‘s report said he miss-
ed the distant signal. had run by the
green precautionary light. and then
had gone a whole train length bevonIl
the. danger signal before being able to
bring his train to a stop. On December
5. 1001. another engineer Ieported: “It
was so smoky and foggy in the. tunnel
that i just missed the signals.”

Another reported that he had been
four minutes late. that he ran by the
distance signal and green lights with-
out seeing them: that the torpedo had
failed to explode and that he could not
help running past the danger signals.
