D. Broughton, coroner, to fix the cause of death of Horace E. Smith, fireman on train No. 4, southward bound from Winnipeg to Toronto. Members of the train crews of No. ¢ and No. 3, both fiers of the Canadian National railways were called to give evidence ana from them it was adduced officially that Engineer L, V. Alexander of train No. 8 overran the siding at Drocourt, and piloted his train to partial destruction. Hvidefice indicated 12 persons met their death in the crash, and when, the probe was completed Coroner Broughton wtihheld judg- ment. While indicating that he held the crew of No. 8 responsible for the crash, he said he would hand out a written finding at 10 o'clock this morning. There was mo. jury. Interest centred on the testimony of Engineer Alexander. = Of the genfor members of his crew only he remained. It was around his shoulders the weight of the inves- tigation hung. Alexander had little to add to the various reports of the accident alerady published. He spoke in a quiet voice. He was well dressed and his only mark of the tragic in- cident was a scar on the left side | of his forehead ,which bore testi- mony to his leap from the en- : gine cab a second before the trains met. This 'veteran ofthe rails testi- fled under the protection of the court. He gave his evidence free- ly. Apparently he had nothing to hide nor had he anything to fear. Under examination by W, L. Haight, special atorney for the government, Alexander admitted he had passed the southern en- | trance to the '"'meet" and he was 'ab a loss to explain the why or wherefor of his neglect. Other witnesses were tairva %o prove what already had been known that No. 8 was operating under a restricted order which would have made it wait at Dro- court. Also it was adduced tran No. 4 was operating under an "as- sisted" order which gave it priority pver an "Inferior" train. Coroner Broughton made little comment. "I might say," he remarked, when the evidence was completed, kL that the testimony seems very clear. I might take time to write out my verdict giving the causes of the accident which cost tue use of Horace Smith. 1 Bou ma hor than Manchester at ine Conn fs assumed the remains are those; SE -- Daily Times MISS MARGARET CLIMIE Representative TH da i Resi.

NEW YORK MARKET - SUFFERS SETBACK: Rise of the Call \ Money Rate: to 14 Per Cent. Causes = New York, Mar, 26.--The fears which have had Wall ris in a blue funk for several days as- sumed tangible form today as the' cost of call money soared suddenly to 14 per cent., the highest rate. in. nine years. The result was one' of the most severe. setbacks the stock Maricet has ever suffered ina single ay. . It was not the collapse of panic, for confidence was shaken rather than. broken; but during all éxcept the first hour of trading on. the New York stock exchange a steady bombardment of selling ordefs was maintained. Under'the pressure of this liquidation, which came from every nook and cranny of the coun- try, market valuations melted grad-. ually but persistently: A faint rallying power was dis. played in the closing dealings, re- sulting from the cautious arvhanes- of bargain hunters and the short covering operations of bearish spe- culators for whom the' last few trading sessions - havé rolled: up substantial profits. This purpose, however, resulted in only a moderate scaling down of previous losses. . Closing prices re- presented net losses which in num- erous stocks are comparable to some of the amazing advances of the last six months. You've carton. \ » Toasty rice bubbles.
