Michigan City, lad., June 25. The Indiana railroad commission. In session here yesterday for the purpose of probing Saturday night's wreck on the South Shore road near Chesterton, succeeded in breaking down a part of the vital' story told by Conductor Kinney. Although protecting the railroad company to an extent, the commission did much in the way of, criticism during the probe, and It Is said that the board will recommend some drastic changes in the operation of the line which has come Into prom

inence because of its disaster and Its excessive speed. - Conductor Kinney was removed from the hospital to the company's general offices and for two hours was given a rigid examination. - He did not make much of an Impression upon the board, it Is reported here tonight, while the late Motorman Reed was

pictured by the commission as having

been a railroad man of more experience than was Kinney. "The most damaging bit of evidence against Kinney's story was given by "Albert Zink,

a stenographer at the Ford 4b Johnson Chair company In this city. Kinney

testified to the efforts he made to step

the car after realizing that the siding of Wilson, where the cars were to

tinct times and - also of having attempted to get through : the crowded car to Inform the motorman of what he had done. Disputes Conductor's Story. Zlnk was next placed on the stand. Chairman W. J. Wood conducted the examination. The purpose in calling Zlnk was to batter down the conductor's ' story. Zlnk testified that he was a passenger on Kinney's car and that the car stopped at Dune Park, a station 250 feet east of Wilson's siding, between that point; where the cars were to pass and the scene of the wreck. Zink said one man got off the east-bound car at that point Zink also said he was sitting in the last seat near the rear door and that to his knowledge Kinney did not run through the car at any time just previous to the crash. General Manager H. U. Wallace was asked about the construction of the interurban cars, their equipment, also that of the line, the system of operating the cars and was asked if he thought that the various systems employed were the best for the safe op

eration of the line. He replied that they are considered the best of the kind, but that the company is considering various methods for farther bettering, the road. . . ' Didn't Know President, v Mr Wallace was asked, the names of the directors of the road. He said he did not know who they were. "Who is the president?" Mr, Wood inquired.' ' "I don't know; the president , recently resigned. Don't know whether we have one or not." "Well, then." said Chairman Wood, "the vice president must be acting in that capacity."

The commissioners dwelt upon the

system

to dispatch trains, and It is reported that they criticised it considerably. They also laid sseclal stress upon the great speed of the cars, which is estimated at times to reach fifty miles an hour, and asked if the crews were not under too great a strain because of that speed. The testimony of Paul Wilson, an official, who was riding with Motorman Reed on the fateful night, was limited yesterday because of the young man's condition. ; NAME RICHMOND PLACE TO HOLD THE C011VEIIT10I1 (Continued From Page One.)

run just as long as the holding company lived up to its promises. B. B. Johnson, & member of .the board of public works ot Richmond, disagreed with Mr. Garrard In number of points. V He denied that it waa the cities having municipal ownership that objected to a public utilities commission. ; The element opposed to such a commission he said was the corporations themselves. As to the cause of duplication In public utilities, he said; this was due to abuse of franchise privileges which forced the people to establish competition to bring the offending corporation to time. Corporations and the Lawmakers. Mr. Johnson declared that the reason the public utilities commission bill was not passed by the legislature was because the original bill had been so Incumbered with appendages obtained by the corporations. He was convinced he said, that the corporations holding public utilities frachlses bad obtained control of a large portion of the lawmakers of the state. Terre Haute had three times gone to the legislature to get relief from the water company thit 1 oppressing its citizens, yet each time Its plea was in vain. He said an Indianapolis corporation magnate had asEured him that the public utilities bill In its final form was drafted to conserve the Interests of the corporations and not the citizens of the municipalities. 4 ; Mr. Johnson snd Mayor Becker of of Hammond objected to the commission having complete control of franchises. They said the commission's authority should be limited to the settlement of disputes arising from overcharging and poor service. Disposal of Garbage. Mayor Robert L. Johnson of Aurora and W. P. O'Neal, member of the board of public works of Richmond, discussed the question of garbage disposal. It was the concensus of 'opinion that the ideal garbage disposal plan was a system whereby closed cans are provided for each house in a city, collected daily and taken to the crematory and reduction plant, the cans sterilized by steam and returned. H. H. Thompson, city engineer of Logansport and A. P. Melton city engineer of Gary, discussed the question of sewage disposal, both saying that a sewage purification plant was the proper solution of the disposal Question. Reporting from the legal section, Arthur D. Cunningham of Lafayette In answer to a query, said he was strongly in favor of school trustees being under the direction of the city council in the matter of estimates and tax levy. i
