Bisbee daily review., 1913-08-28

Granting request from the State Corporation commission that the cor oEer delay his examination into the cause of death of Wm. Bright. who died early yesterday morning from in- iuries sustained in the street railway accident of Tuesday afternoon. until Commissioner Cole could arrive in the city, Coroner Thomas yesterday post pOned the inquest until today.
 It will be held this morning at 10 o'clock in the office or the coroner iu the Muheim building. It was at first set for yesterday afternoon. The jury was chosen early in the morning and yesterday carried out it's first require ment in visiting the body in company with the coroner.
 The jury secured is considered aE excellent one, in point Of being com posed for the most part of we'll known business men whose judgment vii! be generally accepted as well considered. efhe members are James Henderson, H A. Tovrea. C. A. Mcdonald. C. C. Coles. Dan Seed, Hank Snodgrass, C. NJ HenkeI
 A n nEB her, of witnesses were served &;ith 5tnsTIloax to appear before the FbrOner yesterday by Constable Thom- bf. who himsasf was among the in Jared and carries severe marks of the 4tcident There will probably be up- yaris of twenty-five placed on the stard today and the examination into tBe accident promises to be very thor Sbgh. The office of the district at t3rnev will be in charge of the exam tsatiOn for rhe coroner.

The commissioner may have questions To suggest 10 the coroner in the course of the hearing. as might any other citizen. but he will have no official authority or recognition under the law in the conduct of the bearing. any more than any other citizen who may be present

Such ar irvestigation. or a meeting of the commission which might take up the matter of the accident and pass upon Il. could have force only in making recommendations as to the future. The commission has no powers under the statutes enabling 1t to deal with this or any other accident by way Ot-repri- mand or punishment, nor has it the power to enforce any regulation final Iv and definitely.
