THIRTEEN DEAD OR HURT
Coroner O'Donohue Decides
Not to Conduct Inquest
Unless Requested.

Atty.-Gen. George w. Cham
lee stated Monday morning that
an investigation of the terrible
accident at Mari landing field
Sunday afternoon in which two
people were killed and several
injured would be conducted.
Gen. Chamlee was of the opin-
ion, however, that the accident
was unavoidable and there was
no intention to harm anyone.

rison and 6-year- r-old Jessit Morrison
HUMPHREYS of 102 Rosewood street,
North Chattanooga. were also seri-
ously injured at MARI landing field
Sunday afternoon. The little girl
was hurt internally. Her father, J. NJ.
Humphries, is an employe of the
Ross Meehan Foundry company.
Conflicting reports Immediately fol-
lowing the tragedy caused Coroner
Jack O'Donohue to have aviators and
others summoned to the county Jail
In order that an investigation might
be conducted.

When called Monday morning he
stated that he would not conduct an
inquest unless requested to do so.
There is no question, he said, but
that Mrs. Jacob Myers, of East Chat
tanooga, was struck by the propel-
Ter of a biplane 'riven by Lieut.. ".
price Hollingworth md killed. He
believes that Lena Shell was crushed
by the congested crowd, as there were
no external marks on her body. He
Is desirous Of comforting with the men
who brought the bodies of Mrs.
Myers and the Shell child to Erlanger
hospital in a private car and also de-
sires to talk with the woman who
brought Ethel Bacon to the hospital
In her car. The Bacon child also
appears to have been hurt in the
crush and not by the plane. She Is
improving.
In speaking of the accident, Cor

was either trying to dodge the wings
OF the propeller or was down when
the wing struck her.

this month.
The brief declared that "the conf

cause of temporary depression in the
business, but by reason of the fact
that the conditions surrounding the in

TO safeguard the interests of M

POSTPONE JURY
PROBE OF STRIKE
Federal Investigation Aims at
More Than Relief in
Present Crisis.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. ga. P)--
Despite the agreement in Washing
ton between government officials and
leaders of the United Mine Work.
ers, United States government attor-
neys here have not as yet taken any
steps toward halting the Investigation
by the federal grand jury OF alleged
violation of the Lever act and anti
trust laws by operators and miners,
set to begin in indianapolis today.
1t was stated at the district at
torney's office the investigation would
proceed as planned. Subpoenas have
been served on a number of witnesses
including miners, operators and coal
dealers. Government attorneys assert
the investigation, which is to be ma
tionwide, is being pushed not merely
to bringing relief in the present cri-
sis but to prosecute all violations of
federal statutes regardless Of whether
the violations were committed by
miners, operators or dealers.
Action against the miners and op-
orators charging conspiracy TO limit
the production of coal, will be sought
under both the Lever and antitrust
acts. According to government at
torneys, they have. evidence that the
operators have conspired with the
miners in violation of government
statutes and formed combination
to limit the production OF coal. ! A
mass of evidence gathered in all parts
Of the country by the department of
justice will be made available to the
grand jury. 1t is expected the hearing
will continue for several weeks and
that every phase of the coal industry
will be investigated.
According to officials of the mine
workers and government officials no
detail of the Washington proposals
have been received here.
Pending receipt of the agreement
none would venture an opinion as to
the effect the proposal would have
on contempt proceedings scheduled
for hearing in federal court Tuesday
morning charging eighty four miners
officials with violation of the federal
court injunction aaginst the strike.
The coal situation in the state is ipss
creasing In gravity. Practically all
nonessential industries throughout
the state were closed today follow
ing the institution of measures by the
regional coal director of the Ale
gheny region for Curtailment of
power furnished to industrial con-
sumers classed as nonessential. The
few concerns which continued to OPP
crate were doing so on auxiliary
power.
Indianapolis, Dec. S.-The federal
grand jury subpoenaed to Investigate
activities of coal operators and min,
ers will not meet until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning

the convening of the federal jurors
was made at 10 o'clock this morning,
the hour at which the jury was to
have been impaneled by District At

1t will be determined tomorrow
whether the jury will be impaneled to
proceed with the investigation, Mr..
Slack announced.
