' ' : CONFUSED ORDERS THE CAU&E Freight la Reported Safe , and E press Goes Ahead to Doom, PORT. HURON, Dec. 27. There are con flicting stories as to 'the direct' responsi bility for the Grand Trunk wreck at Wan stead, .but it la plain that It .was through a miscarriage of orders. Both conductors had instructions which. It Is alleged, clear them of -blame, but the 'attempt to throw the responsibility 'on Andrew Carson, the operator at Watford, Is 'not In accordance with the facts as 'hear as can he' learned tonight. It la asserted In the Brat place that the train dispatcher at London sent an order to Watford for No. 6 to pass the freight at Wanstead,' the- scene ot the wreck, be fore the express reached Watford. How ever, the operator at Wyoming, the first station to the weat of Wanstead, reported that the freight was still there. The dis patcher thereupon, according to Watford advices, cancelled the meeting order at Wanstead and when the express reached Watford, according to running rules In force, It had a clear right of way to the next scheduled stop, Wyoming. Unfortunately after NO. 6 had left Wat ford it was discovered that the freight had, after all, started for Wanstead. All poe- lb'e efforts were made to Intercept No. 5, out e operator at Kings court junction, an Intervening station, who should have been on duty, could not be reached and Wanstead was not a night office There was no earthly means of stopping the Impending catastrophe. The Wanstead operator, who lives about sixty yards from the station, saw the Impact of the two trains and immediately rushed to the sta tion to call tor aid. He 'had 'no sooner opened the key than the message' was flashed to him to stop No. S. - But It was too late. Cannot fnderatand Blander. MONTREAL.":, Deo".

The boy was angry and tempestuous, the girl says, and finally she persuaded them both to go into the greater privacy of the Schuman apartment, where she perched upon the left arm ot the chair Dorre was occupying and sought to soothe him. At this tears cams to his eyes, which so mortified him that he apologized to Daly for seeming babyish In hla presence.

Schuman ia aald to have come out later and to have remarked that a boy who would do a trick like that ought to go to jail, which ao In cenaed Howard'a father, who had arrived at about the aame time, that a personal combat between the two was averted with difficulty. Howard'a father haa a belief that aome sort ot conspiracy exiata agalnat hla eon, but doean't appear to know exactly why he tblnka ao. He atatea that Dorre haa carried a platol for soma time be cause ot a fear of the Daly family.

What the Mother Tells. Mrs. M. A. Sadler, mother of the girl, conducta the Hotel Monadnock, and a mea aenger and employment bureau at 119 121 North Fifteenth street. When seen by a reporter for The Bee laat night ahe made this statement: "This boy, Dorre Howard, waa a mes senger boy for me about a year. During that period he and my daughter met. I vni-eu a growing intimacy between thrro and took steps early, I thought, to keep them apart. I placed Wllhelmlna In tho Mount St. Mary'a convent, here In Omaha. She had been In a convent seven years In San Antonio, Tex., where we lived before coming to Omaha, three years ago. "I thought I had solved the problem when I sent the girl back to the cenvent, but I found, to my utter dismay, that I had utterly failed. The Tooy, egred on by the unwholesome advice of Md'.'r peo ple, proteated hla love and relentlessly pur. sued his determination of meeting her. Ily some mesns or other he found this possible, even after she was In the convent. The girl, I learned, had been taught by some of this boy s treacherous friends, that she was a martyr because she had a mother who refused her the privilege of running the streets at random and allowing her to keep company like other girls. This poisonous advice found lodgement In the glrl'a mind. I soon found all my pleadings In vain. Presently the girl was dismissed from the convent. The slaters did all they could, but like myself, were opposed by too great and bad Influences. The g rl left the convent, came home, but waa hard to manage. Thla aurreptltious court ship continued, despite all my efforts to prevent It. Finally I consulted legal advice and iaeued written notices to every mem ber of the Howard family to keep off my premises. Stenosirapher Assists Capld.. "I had a stenographer In my employ to whom I committed my secrets, thinking I could trust her. I invited her to make her home with me and help me break up thla companionship. To my horror I learned that thla girl, who was my daugh ter's senior, had betrayed my confidence and was in collusion with the other side. I dismissed her and about then my daugh ter became of age. Feeling the dignity which came with her 18th birthday, ahe gathered up her belonglnge and left my home. Thla waa the 28d of the month. She has not been back since. Bhe made her home with thia former stenographer of mine, where the Howard boy called until the landlord of the place set hla foot down. Then my daughter was Induced to move her things to the boy's father's place, which Is Juat opposite my place. I de layed the movement somewhat, but my ef forts were finally baffled and the girl waa dragged Into that place. I thought this Waa the limit. "I determined when t heard that ahe was being taken In there that I'd get me a gun and I'd atand at the foot of those stalra and I'd annihilate the whole Howard fam ily before I'd see a daughter. Of mine dragged up those stairs. "Well, the other day an old friend of our family and a distant relative, a man with whom I was once associated In business In Texas, came to see us from St. Louis. Ct was Walter W.' Daly of the firm of Daly Broa., general advertisers there." I" con ceived the Idea of getting Mr. Daly to help me out of thla dilemma. Mr. Daly had not seen my daughter for five years, when she was a little girl, but he had alwaya ad mired her and I believe he still has great admiration tor her. " Daly Tries to Heln Mother. "I laid the matter before Mr. Daly. He agreed to do what he could. His efforts to meot the girl at Howard'a failed. Finally he sot a friend ot his at ths Arcade hotel to let him have the use of bis room. He got the girl's consent to meet htm there. The girl waa on her way to the Areade yeaterday afternoon when ahe met thia It-year-old lover ot here, and he walked to the Arcade with her. Wllhelmlna. kept her promise to meet Mr. Daly and the two were In the room talking, when 'a knock came at the door. Mr. Daly opened the door and admitted thla boy, Howard. Daly treated the boy courteously and when the lad tried to atart a controversy about Daly'a being there with the girl, Daly very tactfully switched the conversation. Boon the boy tried to resume his attack on Mr. Daly, and to make a long story ahort Howard grabbed his pistol and -turning It toward him, fired. Before he fired the second shot the girl caught htm, but not in time to stop the trigger. The boy fell to the floor, the girl gave way to loud crying and Mr. Daly ran for the clerk. The boy made a statement In which be aald, repeatedly, that he shot himself. It waa a very unfortu nate thing for Mr. Daly, who waa drawn Into the matter entirely at my request, but of course no one would attempt to connect him, wrongfully, with the affair. Mother's Heart Involved. "I am of course deeply grieved at the outcome ot this thing, but I havedone everything that an earneat mother could do to dissuade my daughter from receiving the attentlona of thla boy. I have had not only the stubborn will of a very obstinate young girl to combat, but the unrlghteoua Influence of meddlesome and treacheroua outalders. I never allowed my daughter, who Is my only child, to roam the streets, and these people have Impressed her with the Idea that I was abualng her In thla aort ot treatment. My daughter is a beau tiful girl, cultured and refined. ' I have tried to keep her eloae to childish waya and even have kept her In ahort dresses. I am aatlafled of her character, and though I would give everything I possess In this world to have averted this.- I am -blessed with the consolation that the girl Is pure and feel confident ahe will yet come around all right. I have not seen my daughter since the shooting." HACK DRIVER OGLE IS SHOT Carrlagre Washer Jackson Alma Well, bat Inflicts Only llh Wonnd.
