11113 ENGINEER'S STORY
Swears That Train Was Travelling at Rate
of Less Than 20 Miles
A despatch front Toronto says: There
1- ,•eery u:dicaton that the investiga-
te h: info the cause of the Culedon dis-
aster is to be a very thorough one. The
principal evidence was that adduced by
i.l gine.•r ledge, wh-.p was driving the
Mr. T. C. Robinette, K. C., nppeared
ors belief( of Engineer; Mr. Angus M'..-
Afiirchy represented the C. 1'. it., and
(.cunty Crown Attorney McFadden, el
Peel, appeared on behalf of the Crown.
THE ENGINEEII's STORY.
George !lodge, the engineer of the '11-
fieied train, was called, and Immediate-
ly he get on the stand his counsel, \Ir.
1;. ['melte. K. C., had entered a footed
ot.jection to !lodge giving evidence, ie
as to obtain the protection of the court
concerning anything which he might
bay to incriminate himself.
"I think," said the coroner, "it would
b., well to allow the witness to give nis
evidence in this way, that it he objects
to answer a question because it might
incriminate him, then he has the pro -
((ellen which he craves. That answer
c old not be used against him."
"At Ihe same time," remarked the
et roner to (lodge, "you ate not excite -
tel from answering any question which
may be asked you here."
"1 tun quite satisfied with that," Mr.
tic,bine:te replied.
Ttie examination of itodge was then
proceeded with. Ile (deposed: -"I left
&lerk,tale at 7.34, and had a good run
to Orangeville, which we reached at
t'•.55. 't'her'e were three cars added there
and we lett between 9.05 amt. and 9.01
a.m. We reached Caledon at 9.20, and
r.cei'ed an order to run one hour late
of the original schedule. \Ve left Cnle-
41011 at 9.21, and before_ reaching the
curve, and about 150 yards trent the
slow hoard. I stowed down and shut oft
client. I applied the brakes about a
t'uarler of a mile tem where the ne.
ceent occurred, tld1 felt the brake
te id. This wade a reduction of 7 lbs.
on the air pressure of the brake, which
was sullicient, in my opin'.on,,.lo steady
Ihe train. Just lichee -11w accident 1
was about to release the brakes."
"Did you release the brakes?"
"No, sir. Not intentionally."
Describing the accident, !dodge said
he telt the engine give a sudden lurch,
and found himself out on the ground.
Hodge explained that at the time tete
(Hgine gave a lurch tie was thrown lo
lee north, and as he had his hand on
tee brake it would have the effect of
releasing the brake.
ItODGES EPERIENCE.
Replying to Mr. itobinette, Bodge
said he hid been acting as engineer of
d freight. train since January of Ibis
year, but had had experience as 11 ((re -
1 an since December, .1902. Ile had
fitly previously to last Tuesday run
one passenger train over this line. Ile
was between 23 and 24 years of age.
In answer to Mr. McFadden he said: -
"1 took one train up the night !•+'fore.
There were passengers on it. That was
the only passenger train ! had run over
tt.ie (Inc."
BRAKES WORKED WELL.
The brakes were working well. Ile
examined the brake after the accident
and he could noL find anything to ac -
cunt, for the accident.
"What do yeti think yourself was
the cause of the accident?"
"1 couldn't say.'
"The engine was all right?"
"Yes."
"And the roadbed was all right "
Between Caledon and the slow board
20 miles an hour was the highest speed
reached.
Replying to a juror, witness said he
Lad been on continuous duty since 10.15
the previous night. Ile had had a good
rest the previous day. His hours cr
work average 9 or 10.
The coroner pointed out that the wit-
ness had already been working about
e'even hours al the time of the•accident.

Eighteen Chinese Cause Gosernment
Officials Worry.
A despatch from Ottawa says : '('hero
are eighteen Chinese in custody in Syd-
ney who are providing a puzzle for the
chief controller of Chinese immigration
io Ottawa, and who seers to have hit
upon a flaw in the fabric of Canadian;
law. The Chinese came ashore from the
schooner Colon's, which brought them
from Newfoundland. The captain re-.
Ieged That they escaped. They were
seized by ttie customs om.ials as sniug
gl.'tl goods, and are now in jail. The
Iasv provides that the Chinese who enter,
Canada irregularly any he placed itt;
jail for a year. but it makes no further,
provision regaa•(ting theta. No authority
is given to deport. It is not considered
gem) policy to keep eighteen Chinese in
jail for u year and then give them their
liberty, without even the payment of the
sew entrance fee. A year in jail is
hardly considered a qualification for
permanent (.onadinn residence. The
only thing apparently that can be done
is to keep the Chinese until a law may
!re passed next session for their deporta-
tion, and then send them back.
