AN INQUEST ORDERED
Coroner to Investigate Power

OFFICIAL L REPORTS

MATED TO BE $500.
Accident Said to Have Been Caused by
Water Hammer"-The
injured.

The District coroner has decided to hold
an inquest al 10 o'clock tomorrow over ;he
remains of Clarence Abraham Whitley, one
of the victims of the explosion a the plant
Of the Potomac Electric Power Company.
The body of William II. White, the other
man who lost his life as result of the ac-
cldent, was. released by the coroner to be
prepared for burial. &
Long before the escaping steam had died
away from the plant of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company at 14th and b streets
yesterday afternoon the District Commits
sioners, Coroner hewitt and police and fire
department officials were upon the scene.
Some of them reached there before the dead
bodies of William II. White and Clarence
A. Whitley had been removed from the
building. Frank Vermillion, the boiler in
spector was also early at the building. He
entered as soon as he could with
out danger and commenced the work
of inspecting the plant. In the building
were several other experts, all of whom
were wiling to discuss the affair and anx-
ious 10 tell what had caused the disaster.
All of them seemed to be of the opinion
that the parting of the big twenty-inch lead
pipe was one Of those accidents which seem
to be unavoidable.
''The exact cause of the disaster"
marked one OF tie experts. can only be de-
ternlined by q careful investigation.
Because of the intense heat in the plant
yesterday afternoon the boiler inspector
was compelled to postpone his investiga-
tion until last night. At the point where
the trouble occurred tie pipes do not come
within the scope of the duties of the boiler
inspector. although he made thorough in
spection of the plant in order to make
complete report to the Commissioners and
to be able to give an Intelligent account
of the affair TO the coroner's jury.
Inquest Tomorrow.
Coroner hewitt went over the ground with
the boiler inspector and announced that he
would hold an inquest in the case at the
morgue tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
He gave directions that jury should be
summoned 10 hear the witnesses al the
time stated. He also directed that the
jury should be composed OF representative
business men and people who have an
understanding of steam pipes and machin-
cry. The inquest VIII be he'd over the re-

company stoler for several years, and
lived al 1895 10th street northwest. a few
months ago he resigned his position upon
the representation of a confidence man
that he would secure him better paying
position where his labor would not be so
hard. Whitley, It is said, gave up several
hundred dollars of his savings to the con-
fdenCe man and then returned to his
former position when he realized that he
had been sWindled.
After the Co9miss' o1ers had visited the
power house they went TO the Emergency
Hospital to learn the condition of the in
jured, offering 10 do what they could for
them. For more than an hour the scene at
the hospital was a busy one. All the
physicians connected with the institution
were forced into service and the hospital
nurses had all they could do to receive and
for the victims.
The bodies of the two dead men We're
taken to the hospital and were later trans
ferred to the morgue. Not only We're the
six injured men from the power companys
plant taken to the hospital about that time.
but several emergency calls We're received
from other sections of the city, necesstat-
ing ambulance runs and subsequent medical
attention. Anxious friends of people en-
ployed IN the big building called at the
hospital and added to the confusion.
Anxious Callers.
Dr. White, the resident physician, and
Policeman Frank Burrows who is detailed
at the hospital, obtained the names of the
injured ones and furnished other informa-
ton required by callers.
What about Billy White?" was the
anxious inquiry of one man VINO called.

of the escaping steam and expecting every
second that the big building would go down
with a crash. They believed nothing could
save them, and it was their first impulse TO
jump from the roof of the tall structure
and take the chances of getting off with a
broken leg other serious injury. One of
them would probably have made the leap
had not people on the street called to them
to remain until the firemen connected with
truck G company could raise the ladders
and the two men were taken from the roof
by the firemen. People at the Emergency
Hospital witnessed the rescue Of these men
and minute later the two were in the
hospital under treatment
Noise Of Escaping Steam.
The roaring noise made by the escaping
steam was heard by people who were IS
far away from the plant as Anacostia.
Some people thought an earthquake had
occurred and imagined they felt the ground
beneath them moving The real cause was
soon explained, however, and people living
along street car lines fed from the big
plant feared the street cars would be stop
ped and they would have to walk home.
In business houses where the electric cur
rent was cut off 1t was feared there would
be long delay in getting the current re-
newed. Much satisfaction was expressed
when the officials of the company gave out
a statement that the cars would run,
though perhaps not upon schedule time,
and that there would be no trouble in sup
plying light for the business houses.
Some of the streets were not lighted last
night, but the trouble resulting from the
explosion was slight in view of what had
been anticipated. The explosion put one
line of boilers in the big plant out of COM
mission, but the line on the other side of
the room suffered no bad effects. The
