Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
Consider Action.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Sept. l6.-Members
Of Indiana and Michigan coal commits
sions and the Indiana and Ohio utilities
commission, Will decided within nve days
whether concerted acton viii be taken
to ask the interstate commerce commits
sion for freedom from present coal pri-
orlty orders
This was decided upon at the close
of the coal shortage conference here
late Wednesday. called by the Ohio
Utilities Commission, and attended by
Indiana and Michigan representatives,
together with representatives OF rail-
roads, coal operators and consumers.
According TO statements and statistics
presented during the conference domestic
coal consumers in all three States face a
serious coal shortage this winter unless
present priority orders, favoring ship
ment of coal to the lakes and New
England, are modified to insure coal for
domestic use.
B.F. Nigh, SECRETARY of the Michigan
Ohio Indiana Coal Association, said a
survey of dealers in the three States
shows that Michigan domestic consum
ers have 30 per cent of their winter
supply in their bins, Indiana consumers
23Is per cent and Ohio consumers 1874
per cent.
Ordinarily at this time Of year, he
said 65 per cent of the supply should
be in consumers bins.

destroy the life of J. Pierpont Morgan,
it was futile enterprise because Nor

AT LEAST SEVEN KILLED
IN BANKING HOUSE.
1t was estimated that the damage to
Morgan's bank would be between $780,
OO0 and 100000.
1t is also stated that Office employees
practically all sustained injuries of some
sort and that more than dozen were
badly hurt, while as many as seven were
killed

but it is believed to have saved lives.
| All available doctors, nurses and am

balances and Red Cross nurses, were
rushed TO the scene.
A number of the injured died in the
Broad street hospital
Pandemonium reigned throughout all
lower New York. An immense crowd OF
tens of thousands of persons Jammed the
narrow streets in the financial zone.
Scores of police reserves had to fight
the crowd back to open the way for am
balances and fire trucks.
The Hanover exchange of the New York
telephone system, which serves the finan-
cial district, was put out Of commission
by the blast, adding to the confusion.
MOUNTAIN OF DEBRIS

A mountainous pile of debris was
thrown up in front Of the wrecked Nor
gan building.
Three disemboweled caccasses OF
horses and the wrecks Of half dozen
automobiles cluttered the corner of Broad

Police Commissioner Enright rushed to
the scene and took personal charge Of the
army of policemen.
After a superficial investigation the po-
lice commissioner said he believed a
wagonload of dynamite caused the blast

Within twenty minutes after the ex-
plosion, fifteen bodies had been recovered.
Some were badly Inangled.
They were quickly removed for ideRti-

Later the death list increased.
Many young women stenographers, who
were on their way to lunch. were caught
In the hurricane Of debris thrown up by

Many were nurt, others were hurled

In front of the Sub-treasury building
was pool Of blood and part of a straw

So far as could be learned the only
member of the Morgan hrm who was
on the scene was Thomas w. Lamont
He was in his private office debating
letters and talking with a business caller

Junius Spencer Morgan, son of ]. T.

Observation-Disclosures members OF the
council, however, declared that while
they are in favor Of the two forward
steps, they did not go on record as being
entirely in favor of what the admits

FINAL APPROVAL

Final approval of the projects depends
to a great extent upon how the admin

taking the preliminary steps on the I'm
provements "anti"Ncouncilmen indicated.
The board OF safety has been dis
cussing both problems for almost two
years. with the net result that the only
positive step taken served to antagonize
the council to such an extent that anti
administration members let It be known
that they would ruthlessly slay any
ordinance for the motorizatiOn of the
FIRE department which might come be
fore them as long as certain conditions
existed.
1t was in an attempt TO smooth out
