STATE ROAD NOT TO BLAME
FOR WRECK SATURDAY
Atlanta, Ga. —That the Western and
Atlantic, the “state road,” was not to
blame for the passenger wreck of last
Saturday which caused the death of
two enginemen, will be the report made
by members of the state railroad com
mission who spent yesterday at the
scene of the wreck and will formulate
their official findings today or tomor
rirw This much Is deemed certain
by those who acoompanied the com
missioners to the Investigation and
saw the evidences laid before them.
The charges that the ties were rot
ten and the rail worn was found en
tirely untrue upon personal Inspection,
the ties having been laid wltin the Last
year and the rails being In good con
dition. Several officials of the road
were present, and gave the state offi
cials every courtesy and assistance in
the Investigation. They believe that
some broken part of the engine which
could not have been foreseen wa* re
sponsible for the wreck, which was one
of the very few on the Western and At
lantic system in years. The road still
keeps its record of never having kill
ed but one passenger.

BRITON ADMIRAL
BN CHILE FIGHT
English Officers Given Recep
tion in Montivideo---The In
vincible Brings One Hundred
German Prisoners.
Montevideo, Uruguay.—One hundred
German sailors, survivors of the Falk
land Islands naval battle of Dec. 8,
sailed from here today for EnglanJ
on the steamer Crown of Galicia They
were brought into port yesterday by
the British cruiser invincible.
It was learned today the Invincible
showed signs of having been struck
by six shells. Nine men aboard her
wore wounded including Commander
Richard H. D. Townsend.
“AH Will Go Well.”
In the course of the reception tend
ered the British officers In Victoria
Hall yesterday an address of welcome
was made by the British minister, A.
M. Innes. In response Admiral Stur
dee said “I thank you for this recep
tion. I hope our little victory will im
prove conditions for British, French,
Russian and probably Japanese com
merce during this titanic conflict
which has Just begun. We may suf
fer some reverses but oui* sailors will
maintain their high reputation and all
will go well with our army and with
our French allies.
Profit from Lesson.
“Lord Roberts recommended mili
tary preparations; had he been list
ened to the war would have been
avoided. English business men, for
getful of their true Interests, employed
Germans for reasons of economy, but
I hope that British merchants and
British steamship companies will prof
it from this lesson.”
Continuing, Admiral Sturdee said
that the Germans fought well and were
excellent cltiiens, except when they
Invaded neutral countries and attack
ed unprotected towns. He declared
that the British squadron lost eight
men killed and 14 wounded in the bat
tle of Dec. 8.
Entire Crew Perished.

enemy menaced our commerce. Now
they are at the bottom of the ocean.’
