Much attention was given by the investigators to a short length of air hose, the bursting of which stopped the express and paved the way for the wreck At one end of the hose there was a jagged hole and the iron nipple showed evidence of having been scraped.

Enough was learned of it, however, to make it practically certain that engineer Curtis, wno was killed, will be held as responsible. anfT the coroner does rot take seriously the theory that the engineer was dead before the wreck, and was therefore unable to stop his locomotive.

Engineer Curtis was apparently in tne best of health and spirits when he left New Haven, and, If he had been stricken in the cab. his fireman, and probably Sweeney, who as far as the railroad was concerned was a trespasser, could have put on the brakes and stopped tne tialn. As this was not done until the crash came the assumption is that Curtis was at the throttle until the collision. coroner Mix's investigation has also brought out the fact that simultaneously with the crash, the emergency brake wan put on by some one in Curtis engine and the second before a long warning signal was given from Curtis engine. Mr Mix announced tonight that he naa concluded his Investigation except for the examination of two minor witnesses, the inspection of the working of the automatic signal system in connection with the wteck.

the Inspection of the signal svstem at the Woodmont tower and an endeavor to find when and how Sweeney got into the cab and why he was there. Sweeney in Cab Against Rules. Coroner Mix has looked into the Sweeney phase of the wreck in some detail and found that he and the dead engineer both lived in Stamford, that Sweeney went to work In the motor department of the road at Stamford, his duties being to couple and uncouple the cars there, that he reported for duty there at 6 a the day he was killed and resigned at a the same day. The coroner does not know yet wneth-er he deadheaded his way to New Haven that morning, but he was certainly on his wav back when he was killed. Both the coroner and the railroad officials said it was against the rules for Sweeney to be In the cab.

The speed of the local was such tnat the witnesses called by the coroner, who knew Curtis have been unable to testify whether Curtis, the fireman or Sweenev was at the throttle when the local went by, and naturally it will never be known who applied the emergency brake and gave the blast on the whistle showing the collision was imminent. Coroner Mix also discovered that it had been planned to attach an electric motor eingine to the train at New-Haven, but none was available, so the train went along under steam. Much money and jewelry from the wreck has been turned over to Coroner Mix, who said tonight he would be glad to give it to the proper owners.

Capt Scott said he left Sherbrook Jan 24 with 281,302 feet of lumber and 135.000 spruce laths consigned to the Fred Miller Lumber Company of Bridgeport. Gales and heavy seas drove her off her course and she sought shelter at Owls Head, La Have and Shelburne. Last Saturday she was off Cape Elizabeth, when a northwesterly gale burst upon her and an unavailing effort was made to reach Portland. Ice began to form and four feet of water were found In the hold. The pumps were started, but the water gained steadily until at daylight Sunday the deck was awash and the craft became unmanageable.

An Improvised shelter was made on the deck by a piece of canvas and behind this the men stood when they were not on the spanker boom. Not a vessel was sighted until 7am Wednesday, when the Louisa R. Silva hove in sight, and the crew of the Horatio, several of them badly frostbitten, went on board In their own power boat. Sails, running gear, blocks, halyards, navigating instruments and the fog bell from the Horatio were saved, and she was left at anchor 12 miles east from Cashs Ledge, whence the cutter Ossipee, off Portland, was ordered to tow her Into port. The vessel was built at Bath in 1880 and is owned by David Cohen of New York.

She is 135 feet long, 32 feet beam and 13.7 feet depth of hold. Her net tonnage is 388. Her valuation is placed at between J80O0 and $9000. She is uninsured. The cargo is said to be CAPT MANUEL C.

Both these men were standing a few feet aft of the mainmast when tho explosion occurred. The cause of the explosion Is unknown. Capt Santos was eating in the forecastle with Faustine Casher, the cook, when there came a terrific detonation and the vessel shook. Dropping his knife and fork, he dashed to the deck, closely followed by the cook. ASHORE ON SWEDISH COAST.

Wre shall put 0 to the people and ask them to xpress their choice." It looks now as though the Roosevelt candidates In this State have an advantage in that they stand for something definite, while the unpledged are merely anti-Roosevelt. A few weks ago, when it seemed that the lu-'hf wo ild he between t'he supporters of Senator Weeks and those who opposed him, the shoe was on the other toot but the developments of the past tea daB have changed the situation. Things are not going wholly well in the movement for the unpledged delegates. The selection of Charles S.

Baxter as the manager of that campaign has caused some dissatisfaction among the Weeks people. They say that Mr Is engaged in building up a personal machine wnich will be used later to promote the nomination of Louis A. Krothlngham as the Republican candidate for Governor and the election of McCall as the successor of Mr Weeks In the United States Senate. Choice of Baxter Displeasing. Mr Frothlngh.im's friends have suggested that he ought to have another chance at the Governorship.

It Is as-hinned that Ex-Lieut Gov Gushing will run again if a vacancy occurs soon. lent Gov Coolidge, of course, must be reckoned with, and Speaker Cox, who probably has a larger aenualntanLe than nny of the other men mentioned, may feel disposed to look for h'gher office, when the proper time comes. Most of these possible candidates are closely watching the activities of the others; the close relations between Mr Frothfngham and Mr Baxter make the selection of the latter to run the cam-palgn in behalf of the unpledged delegate not wholly satisfactory to those Who may be opponents of Mr Frothlng-ham in the near future. It is understood that when a union Of the Weeks and McCall forces against ROOSSVSH was first proposed in this State, one of the conditions was that Mr Baxter should have charge of the Weeks campaign for the Presidency as a whole and not merely in Massachu-s'lis. Most of the politicians believe thai th condition has been abandoned.

They aspect that (Jov Met 'all will vote for himself ami not for Senator Weeks in ease the unpledged delegation to the National convention is elected, and that Mr Baxter will do nothing which could barm the Governor.

There is now more dissension among the Republican leaders In Massachusetts than there has been before in a genera-tlo not excepting even the stormy da of IMS, Gov McCall could not have been Sleeted without the support of the es who returned to the Republican party for the State campaign of last year, but it looks now as though the Governor's alliance with the reactionary wing of the party had alienated most of the prominent Progressives; they may, however, become reconciled to him be-the nt State campaign. n. he between the Roosevelt and the anti-Roosi elt ings, the rivalries of the various men who are looking to fut ire.

and the possible reopening of the uuarrel between the Progressives and reactionaries make the situation of the Republican party In Massachusetts look critical. Under these conditions the democrats are beginning to think that their nomination for Governor may be woith more than seemed likely a few i eks ago. It Is not news that Kx-Rieut Gov Harry will be a candidate for that nomination; he has said many times thai lie would run for the office when Cov Walsh retired.

Rescuers Arrive Quickly.

A number of fishermen were on the quarterdeck, near the wheel, when the accident happened and the flames cut them off from the dory cages forward. They sought safety on the top of the cabin, which had been blown overboard by the explosion and was floating near the schooner. A brisk breeze carried the cabin tap, with the men clinging to it, seaward In the meantime the explosion and the flames and smoke had aroused the Boston Fish l'ier, nearby tlshing boats and other craft in the harbor.

The police boats Guardian and Watchman also responded. Half a dozen dories were hurriedly launched from Capt Frank Gaspe's Valerie at fhe Fish Pier and hurried toward the burning vessel. An Italian power boat, just docking at the pier, also set out for the scene. Capt Gaspe's men took off a dozen or more of the men aboard the Santos, and also picked up those on the. cabin top.

The identification of the unknown Armenian whose body has been lying in the morgue in Milford since the wreck Tuesday, was made this morning by his cousin, Ardashes H. Keoieian of 2110 Broadway, New York city. The body is that of Gararsh Keoieian, a noted Armenian writer, lecturer and publisher, known to thousands of Armenians in America as Moushgh Sha-hintan and considered the greatest champion of the Armenian cause in the country. At the time of his sudden death he was traveling from Boston to New York where he was to deliver a lecture to several prominent Armenian societies on behalf of the Armenian war sufferers and start a relief fund. The condition of about 20 wreck victims who remain in hospitals was reported today as excellent.

Frank Mc-Namara of Ansonia, who yesterday was in a grave state, has rallied htiely, and his relatives have been told that he will recover. The final list of dead will probably stand at 10.

Signals Set at Danger. C. P. Melic'n, signal man at the Woodmont tower, located east of the wreck, on duty Tuesday, consulting his time sheet, showed that train 79 (the Connecticut River special) passed the tower at 11:19 a in at 35 miles an hour. The freight train which was involved passed the tower at 15 to IS miles an hour.

Train 5. which ran into the express, passed the tower at 11:22 at 35 miles an hour. "Was there much smoke from the freight engine?" asked Mr Belknap, who presided. The witness could not say. Asked as to the position of the signals, he said that he did not notice them until IS minutes after the trains passed.

Then he saw they were set at danger. Witness explained that the signals were automatic and not connected with the tower.

There was danger that the fire, which had already begun to eat its wav through the decks and hull of the oil boat, would reach the gasoline and cause another and more serious explosion. Capt Eaton of Engine 44 ran across the blazing deck of the rtshing schooner, clambered aboard the oil boat and with flames playing all about him turned off the gasoline. Firemen boarded the burning schooner and went down into the cabin to make sure that there was no gasoline left there.
