The question is so involved and

There are three vitality important
problems connected with the ad-
mission Of this country into the
World Court that have not been

The Monroe Doctrine, the indie

exclusion of the Japanese, are so

While the Senate's finance leaders

held informal conferences on the
question of invoking cloture.
1t was reliably learned they will

the Court resolution or the tax bill,
on the part of the little camp OF
''irreconcilables," who are trying to
keep America out OF the Court.

dorsed by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike for the first time in
decades, will be reported to the
Senate tomorrow Safternoon by its
Finance Committee.
1t probably viii be called up for
debate Thursday orr Friday, with
partisan warfare eliminated and fac
ing only clashes between the con-

two major parties.
Because of the attitude OF the
Court adherents, the .'irreconcil-
ables'' entered the new week facing
3 crisis in their fight The anti
court faction, small in numbers but
containing some of the most Drill
liant debaters in the Senate, must
virtually hold the floor continuously
for many days to come and beat
down the attempt at cloture or
face an early vote on American adj
herence to the Court. Senators
Borah and Blease viii debate the

Gary Coroner, Dr.. Z. {. Evans, Conducted Fake
Investigation of Steel MIL Death Blast

The verdict was based on the testi-
mony of three witnesses. They were
Major K. M. Burr, head Of the safety
department of the steel company;
Glenn A. Recktenwall, assistant SUI
perintendent of the coke plant, and
Fred A. Weber, pipefitter at the coke
plant.
All three witnesses disclaimed any
responsibility of the company in the
blast and blamed it upon some en-
ploye being careless and opening a
valve"
Officially, the case is closed. AS far
as the Steel Corporation, the coroner
and other city authorities are con.
cerned, the dead victims of the ex-
plosion may rest in peace and the
surviving workers learn the horrible

committed by some employee" But

ment, whether there was a record of
such a man in the by-products plant
The answer was negative. The cor
oner said It was necessary to know
the first name of the man in order to
make further investigation.
AS to the rumor about there being
more killed than officially recorded,
the coroner said that one Of the en-
ployes said that he counted &c dead
but when he was asked whether ne
would be willing to make written
statement and swear to It, the man
desisted. The coroner did not men
ton the name of the man. The inter.
view was at an end. It showed that
the coroner did not make q real at
tempt to ascertain the true cause of
the explosion. It showed that he took
unquestionably the opinion of the Of
flcials Of the plant without even at
tempting to critically examine it.
while neglecting to question the work
ers of the plant where the explosion
occurred, presumably because he
thought that their testimony would be
Of no value; that he maintains the
opinion that the mill is the safest
place in the city; he did not know
nor care to find out how many work
ers were working in the plant where
the explosion occurred, nor did he
care to see the plant after the explo-
sion took place. Under these condi-
lions the coroner's inquest becomes a
sham and farce.
The workers of Gary must demand
a congressional investigation of the
explosion, conducted in such way as
to safeguard the workers who will
testify from being intimidated and vic
timized by the steel trust for telling
the truth about the conditions in the
steel mills.

article went last Saturday morning to
interview DR.. E. e. Evans, the cor
oner. We found him in his Office.
The questions we asked him and the
answers of the coroner follow:
Question. Who conducted the in
vestigation?
Answer. Oh, dozens Of agencies;
government man, state safety board
man. the mayor, mill officials, county
officials, police.
Q. Is it not true that the represen-
tatives of the press were barred from
the scene?
A. No. The Gary Post-Tribune re-
porters were there turnout the in
vestigation.
When it was pointed out that some
newspapermen from Chicago were
barred from the scene of the accident
and from Witnessing the investigation,
the coroner replied:
"They probably were. They have
no business here. This case concerns
only the state of Indiana and the city
OF Gary"
@. Were you at the actual scene of
the accident?
A. No.
@. Were any of the workers Of the
by-products plant Intercepted?
A. MOI Why should they? They
know nothing about it. No one will
ever know.
Q. In your opinion, workers who
worked in the plant and who know
the plant could throw no light upon
the cause of explosion2
A. No, they couldn't.
Here the coroner became angry and
objected to criticism" of the manner
in which the inquest was conducted.
He was assured that the object Of the
interview was not criticism, but the
establishing of facts. The interview
proceeded:
O. Was there change in the per-
sonnet of the foremen just prior to
the explosion?
A. No.
Q. Was there a complaint Of leak
