basement of Marshall Field & Co.'S
State street retail store yesterday. A
dozen were hurt.
1t happened at o'clock in the aft
ernoon. At 4:25 the afternoon pa
pers knew of it. Before the police
had it on their records. But not one
of the afternoon papers had printed
line about the accident.
There were many queer features
in the news end of the occurrence.
This might be expected when Chi
cago's greatest advertiser was con-
cerned.
For instance, all information to the
newspaper reporters who got on the
scene before 5 o'clock was given out
through the advertising department
of Marshall Field & Co. This same
department then talked to each of
the newspaper Offices.
AS result reporters for afternoon
papers were called from the store
and taken off the story. The papers
then proceeded to pass it up.
A Day Book reporter reached the
scene of the accident among the
first. He was taken along with the
rest of the newspaper men to the adj
vertising department. Here a polite
official told the reporters the facts of
the accident-as Marshall Field & Co.
wanted them printed if they did
get by.
One of the advertising managers
of the store gave out this:
''The accident was a trivial one.
There were eleven in the elevator
and four were cut by a mirror which
broke. The elevator slipped and did
not fall. It merely did not stop at
the first floor. Nothing serious
about it.
Understand, the elevator did not
fall from the upper floor as has been
reported. Oh, no. Just simply did
not StOD at the first fOOr Thnra

MARSHALL FIELD ELEVATOR SLIDES SIX
FLOORS DOZEN PASSENGERS HURT

Then the reporter investigated for
himself
VIM. Silver of 1913 S. Turner av.,
one of the passengers, said the ele-
vator slipped or fell from the sixth
floor.
"All l remember was that the ele-
vator was going awful fast after it
left the sixth floor. The next thing
knew it hit the basement and the
whole crowd went down to the floor
in a mass and the big mirrors fell in
on us.
1.-The women in the elevator and
outside screamed. Some one man
aged to get the elevator door open
and then they carried us out and up
to the emergency hospital A few
of those in the car were not hurt.
The mirror crashed down into my
upturned face, cutting my forehead
in three places and knocking a hole
in my nose A woman fell on my left
leg as l went down and sprained it"
The police had story a little diff
ferent from that given out by the adj
vertising manager of Fields. They
said that twelve were hurt badly
enough to receive hospital treatment.
Three more left without medical aid.
The men of the central detail station
concealed nothing about the accident
and volunteered information to re-
porters readily.
A later statement from the adver-
Using department of the store init
mated that the operator of the car
lost control of it.
''The operator started the car at
the sixth boor and when he came to
the first he found himself unable to
shut off the power. 1t takes consid- i.
cradle time for the emergency brakes
to operate and before they caught
the lift it struck the basement. The
bumpers on the bottom of the car
prevented killing impact when the.

]. P. MORGAN CHEERED
BY CROWD AT OFFICE
"Never Felt Better" Banker
Says When He Returns
to Wall Street.

J. p. Morgan was al his Wall street
office yesterday for the rrst time since
he vas shot by Prof. Erich Muenter.
alias Frank Holt. on July 3. Mr.. Nor
gan appeared to have entirely recovered
from his wounds. He walked with his
usual rapid stride and said he had never
felt better. His partners. employees and
friends in the financial district gave him
an enthusiastic reception.
Contrary to reports. Mr.. Morgan came
to his Office ungusrded. arriving In a
closed automobile at noon. II was said
that he went to work at once on the
existing problems Of foreign exchange.
particularly the sterling matter. and
held several conferences on that score
during the day with his partners and
representatives OF other banking houses.
Fifteen minutes before Mr.. Morgan's
departure from his Office his automobile
drew up in front of the banking house
and this served as "A signal for the gath
ering OF a crowd OF curious persons.
The crowd was pushed back by the po-
lice. so that when the banker came out
"A lane was left open for him.
When Mr.. Morgan came down the
steps leading to the street the crowd
broke into cheers. and the ha%ndclapping
was kept up until the machine had been
driven away. Mr.. Morgan evidently was
pleased with the salutatlon. for he
smiled. and after touching the brim Of
his hat, waved his right hand TO tn.
crowd.
