HARTFORD, July 11 -'l‘he “limited
experience" of Engineer Charles J.
Doherty in handling-the big Pacific
type of locomotive he was driving, is
Elven by the Connecticut Public Util-
ities Commission, in its report on the
fatal wreck at Stamford, of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail~
road on June 12 as the immediate

. cause of the accident, but the com-

mission polnts out that the railroad
company has ultimate responsibility
for the safe operation of its trains:
that it was its duty to know whether
or not the engineer was properly qual-
ified. and that it was remiss in the
matter.

The report finds that the signals at
Stamford are set too close together,
and recommends that the distance be-

when them be increased it also too .

ommendé that changes be made in the
manner of “determining the fitness of
engineers, and that there be frequent:
examinations of employee -.to deter-
mine itheir qualifications. The report
also finds that from the testimony of
experts and from the series of unpert-
mental tests with the train and engine
of second 58 (Deherty strain) that the
brakes were in good and serviceable;
condition, “capable of safely stopping
the train at Stamford at the time of,
the accident if timely and properlyl
applied.

in his report on the investigating
Chief Engineer Elwell of the Commis‘
slon says that the distance between
the distant and home signals at~Stam
ford is only 1,800 feet, and he recom-
mends that the distant signal be mov

ed further east so as to make the die~

tance between the signals 2.500 feet

at least.

. The report is as follows:
