The hearing was sometimes lively
as there came near being real clashes
between the makers of the automatic ‘
stop and the railroad oliicials.
Prosldont Testifies.
Jacob A. Cnntur, president of the
company that manufacture the be
Croix stop, was the first important
‘witness. He stated that his device
was successful in ’stopping trains and
the test had been made under gov-
ernment officials. One test showed
that the device stopped a train within,
600 feet otters defect had been
found. At this time, Mr. Cantur read
extracts of the report of the inter-
state commerce commission, which
commended the device "for use as it

October he had received a reply from

signal engineer. '
‘Mr. Cantor read a letter which had
been received by him Thursday from
a Mr McKenna, in which the writer
expressed regret that Mr Cantur was
going to exploit his patent at this
time before the coroner. The wit~
nose added that in the meantime the

"That is not so." said Vice Fresh

"and I resent it." There followed
some sharp encounters, when Mr.
Cantur intimated that the road was
going to place the blame for the ac-
cident on the engineer.
‘ “The engineer was alone to blame.”
replied Mr. Buckland. “He rushed by
the signals set against him at a rate
oriso miles an hour No one mgr-ob

Haven officials." He added that it“

_ Fred LoCroix, the inventor of the
automatic stop, was the most inter-
esting witness, as he explained the
device and its work. He had a lot
of plans before him, which aided him
in making the points clear, to the
coroner. Devoid of much of its tech-
instailin‘g of a generator on top of the
engine, near the smoke stack, which
will generate an electric current
from the engine of about 40 volts.
This is connected with a shoe that
connects with a third rail, to the
right and about two foot distant from
the right track, and very similar to
the shoe that the electrical engines
on the road now use when they strike
the New York Central tracks when
running into New York city. This
third rail is about 100 test long and
is laid some short distance from the
home signal. When the origineer,
fails to notice the distance signal
when set against him the contact of
the shoe with the third rail breaks on
electrical current that shoots out a
plug, that allows all the air in the
brakes to escape and lists the brakes,
and the train comes to a stop.

Of the 180 tests made labor under the

were found to be perfect. "
When allied about the cause of the

Mr. LeCrolx was asked if his device
applied only to the brakes and not
to the steam and he replied that it
only applied to the air brakes. He
admitted that the steam should also
be shut off.
He was asked if he had a device
that would stop a train going at 80
miles an hour when the signals were
clear. In reply he said that the sys-
tem would not work, as it was not ex-
pooled to.
When asked what would happen in
the case of a 'shortcircnit, the wit-
ness replied that‘hls. device would

“What would be the effect of a high
resistance by grounding of the wire ?"
A.—--"The train will act stop; it
will go through. but that condition
will not happen once in a million

Coroner. Pholsn here interposed,
and said that they were petting-be

that the high grounding is where the
