Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 14. The wreck on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railway at Jrvington early yesterday morning, in which fifteen persons were killed and sixteen injured, was due to the company's failure to install a block signal system as had been ordered. y
This was the statement
Siv accidents have thus far been due j to the apparatuses, which have been j placed on the school playgrounds in i Hammond and seven in Whiting. Three : of these have occurred on the Washington grounds, two on the Iafayette ' grounds and one on the Riverside grounds. With the exception of one, all the injuries happened to boys. A little girl sustained an injury to her arm on the Washington playground. A son of Dr. E. A. GiLson was also injured on this ground, he having strained his wrist ligaments in a fall from the rings. The third accident on this ground happened o a boy named H'.ack, who sustained a fracttire of the wrist. He attends a parochial school and played on the grounds on a Saturday. The two Lafayette accidents happened to Arthur Becker, the son of Trustee John Becker, who sustained a fracture of his arm, and to Robert Domke. whoso ami was wrenched in a '.'all. The accident to the Becker boy also happened on a Saturday. The accident on the Riverside grounds to Sisc:l Newell his week wr.n one of a minor nature. He was jarred by a fall, but sustained no broken bones or

yesterday afternoon the Indiana, railroad commission ordered a thorough investigation of the wreck to begin on Nov. 25 to deteimine the responsibility. At the same time the Marion county grand jury decided to take a hand and has ordered an independent examination. The quesdioning of witnesses will be begun either today or tomorrow. The wreck was reused by the failure of the head braketnan of a freight to close the switch to a siding on which his train had been run to lot the rapidly running passenger train, which was more than an hour late, pass. The passenger train was No. from Cincinnati to ebb-ago, and was running more than an hour late. The
i engineer was trying to make up time j and at the time of the head-on col- ! lision with the heavy freight train on the siding was rutiing more than fori ty miles an hour. He had been given a i clear track and had not apparently intended to slow up until he had entered I tho yard limits. Roth he and his firej man were found dead in the cab of their
engine, death being instantaneous, according to indications. All of the dead passengers were in the smoker and day coach, which were immediately behind the steel reinforced mail car, which acted as a battering rani. The injured in many cases had to remain pinned under heavy timbers until they could be chopped out with axes.

After a pursuit or ever two weeks the Fast Chicago police department assisted by the police of Michigan City and Hammond succeeded in locating Joe Cvillinger, wanted on a charge of grand larcenj. in Hammond yesterday. The complainant is Steve Orescha. foreman of a gang of laborers employed on the new G. & I. line in Indiana Harbor. He swore out a warrant before Judge George Reiland Oct. 26 and the police have been trailing him ever since. Orescha claims that Cvillinger stole $175 from him. The Fast Chicago police located Cvillinger in Michigan City and through the assistance of the local police there, they learned that he had been living at 202 Chicago street, but had moved a few days be
fore from that place, shipping his goods to Hammond. At this point the plot thickens. It seems that Cvillinger had bought a lot of furniture on th-e installment plan, and that this had been moved without knowledge of tho firm from whom the purchase had been made. When the collector went to the Chicago avenue address to collect, he found Cvillinger gone, bag and baggage. The firm complain, d to the local police, and on their advice sent a representative to Fast Chicago to learn whether tho department here had succeeded in locating tho fugitive. Through an expressman who hauled the goods the police learned of 'he whereabouts of Cvillingor .and in com
pany with plain clothes officers of the Hammond department, Sergeant Mike Gorman, who was detailed on the case, visited the address given by the expressman. The officers were met at the door by a brother-in-law of the fugitive, who claimed the latter had skipped out several days ago and that he knew nothing of his whereabouts. The officers however shadowed the house and soon were rewarded by the appearance of the much wanted man. Officers Nangle and Turner were sent to Hammond to take charge of the prisoner after the Hammond poice had notified the local department of the arrest, and Cvillinger is now in the Indiana Harbor jail awaiting a hearing before Judge Reiland.
