STAMFORD, Oct. 7.-The cool-
ness and judgment of Elmer Knapp,
veteran engineer. early yesterday af-
ternoon saved the lives of many
passengers on the Boston express
when the train- was derailed near
the Darle'n railroad staticm. Ten
persons were injured, one seriously
in the crash. when the last three

of a steep embankment.
Three person were taken to the
Stamford Hospital for treatment.
Among them were Mrs. Elizabeth J.

ton, Mass. shock and abrasions of
the body; E. S. Walker. Morgan
street. Melrose Mass. shock. and
Andrew Ekmainen. 333 Essex street

jured. suffering from internal in-

Others who were treated at the
scene of the accident -by doctors
from the Stamford and Norwalk
hospitals were: L. E. Abbott. Pal-

The heavy train carrying over 160
passengers. consisting of a mail car,
baggagecar. two Pullman cars. one
club car, one diner and three pas-
senger coaches, was in charge of
Conductor John Jenkins and was
known as Train No. 54 running be-
tween New York and Boston. The
next scheduled stop was at. New Ha-
ven.
Shortly ~after passing the Noroton
station. Engineer Knapp felt a. sud-
den jerk'which caused him to let
the emergency brake in easily. Rail-
road officials investigating the
wreck afterward stated that this ac-
tion on the part of Knapp, who has
been with the New Haven road for
over 40 years, probably saved a
number of lives. '
The entire train with the excep-
tion of the heavy electric motor, the
mail and baggage cars left the
tracks. The three last cars swung
sharply to the right and the mechan
ism underneath which was thor-
oughly demolished and ripped up
and twisted intovall shapes. the rails
on the other three tracks.
Au body of 85 laborers who had
been working on that spot during
the morning found it necessary to
Jump for their lives. After leaving 2
the tracks the three passenger
coaches continued along. the dirt
embankment for a. distance of 100
yards. The Pulimans. club car and
diner came to a stop shortly after
they left the rails.
Shortly after. the work of clear-
ing the wreckage away. was begun
under the direct supervision of Wile
liam H. Foster. general superinten-
dent bf the New Haven road and
John Flick. trainmaster. A section
of rail was found without clamplnl
bolts. It was later discovered that
these bolts had been ripped out by
the lower sections of the derailed
cars, however.
Railroad officials probing the
wreck state that workmen replacing
the old ties under the track may
have taken too many bolts frbm the
mil, weakening it to such an extent
that the passage of a heavy train
would cause the track to spread.
or widen the distance between the
two rails.

ter November by a ruling of the
state board of hairdressers and cos-
meticians. announced yesterday.
which prohibits beauty parlors in
barber shops. Hairdressers or cos-
metlclan shops must in the future
be in an entirely different room
from' barber shops and if operated
by the same proprietor must have
separate outside entrances. The
MQ ruling will apply to manicur-
ists insofar as those established af-
ter July 1 will not be allowed to lo-
cate in barber shops.
The new ruling. which is in ac-
eordance with the hairdresser act
adopted by the 1925 General Assem-
bly. turns the tables on the barbero.
Two years ago. the barbers of the
state succeeded in securing passage
who bobbed hair to have a "hair-2
cutting" license. After November ‘8
barbers will have to have a sepal-b
ately licensed beauty parlor. with a
licensed operator in charge. in order
