PRINCETON, Ind, Dec. IL
Twenty-three families in this grief
stricken mining community prepared
today TO bury their dead, victims in
the explosion Thursday at mine No.
2 of the Francisco Coal Company.
The death list reached thirty
shortly before I a. m. with the an
nouncement at Methodist Hospital
that Jake Shafer had succumbed to
his injuries. Clifford Biel. a 16.year-
old boy, died Friday night.
Harley Snow, among the score
who lay injured at the hospital. is
said to be in critical condition and
not expected to survive the day.
Families Of the miners went
about the preparations for burial
with the same stoicism that
characterized their attitude at the
mine shaft when the bodies of their
husbands and fathers were hoisted
to the surface one by one.
Two homes will have double fu-
nerals. j. II. and Earl Gates, father
and son. are to be buried here. Fred
and William James, brothers, will
be inferred at Francisco.
There are FIVE families who must
mourn their dead without the con.
ISOLATION Of funeral rites. They are
the families Of five men whose bod
les were sealed in the burning mine
Thursday when continued operation
Of rescue crews was considered too
dangerous.
The bodies left in the mine were
those of S. J. Rohl. w. p. Ratliff.
Emery West, Walter Thomas and
Claude Wright. The bodies of Roll
and Ratliff were located but could
not be brought TO the surface. The
other three bodies were not found.
Families of the five stood dry eyed
at the mine shaft and watched the
opening securely sealed. Mine Off.
cials told them it would be a month
or longer before further efforts could
be made to recover the bodies.
1t was decided at a meeting of
mine officials and State and Federal
inspectors Thursday night that no
individual or group could be blamed
for the disaster. Tode Rohl. fore
man, told the inspectors there had
been no trace Of gas in the work
ings for two weeks before the ex-
plosion.

Good Roads Leader and
Heavy Taxpayer Look at
Latest Repair Job.

Dollars to doughnuts, the two
ing 50-cent thoughts abou the way
the city now is repairing improved
streets.
Loose crushed stone has been
placed in a hole where Court St.
slips into busy Meridian ST., near
the Guaranty Bldg.
Good Roads Leader
Curiously, the gentlemen so IN
terested in the unique paving are
Luke w. Duffey, former State Sen:
ator and good roads leader, and Ster-
ling r. Holt, an owner of the Holt
Ice and Cold Storage Company, one
of the heaviest taxpayers in Indian
apolis.
Wonder II they think they're get
ting theif moneys worth?
The crushed stone in the picture
was purchased through Lawrence
Cartwright. member of the Repub'
lican State central committee.
John Collins. city purchasing
agent, today bought some more
stone, this time from n. Z. kelh &
Co., of Greencastle. for $1.60 a ton.
He paid $40 for that purchased
from Cartwright.
"AIl in CahOots"
When he made the first purchase,
Collins said, 'it doesn't matter what
firm we buy from. They are all in
cahoots."
City officials intend to create a bit
Of cohesion by uniting the rocks with
tar, but tar ordered has not arrived.
Doubtless this accounts for the mo-
bility Of the rocks in the picture.
The tar and stone mixture Is
known as the seal-pack process.

SPENDING Of
$15O,OOO is
ISSUE NOW
City Dads Argue Over Who
Shall Purchase Motor
Equipment.
POLICE, FIRE SUPPLIES
Council to Take a Hand,
Announces Moore.

Who shall spend $150,OO0 to pur-
chase motor equipment for the In
dianapolis police and fire depart
ments? That is the question city
officials are discussing today.
OF this amount, the fire depart.
ment will receive 100000, with the
losers end of the purse to the police
department.
The big issue about the city hall
these days is who shall do the buy
ing.
Issue Over Purchase
Legal authorities say that the
process consists Of the solicitation
of bids by the city purchasing agent
and the actual purchase by the board
of safety members.
However, city council members,
who withheld the appropriation of
equipment from the 1927 budget,
only to authorize a bond issue for
that amount few days ago, are con-
corning themselves with the pur-
chase.
Were going to take a hand in
it and insist that equipment recon-
mended by the two chiefs is bought"
President Boynton j. Moore said.
Police Chief Claude +. Johnson's
recommendations included twenty,
four-cylinder Henderson motorcycles
at $500 apiece. The Henderson Is
sold by Ira M. Holmes, prominent
Republican politician and attorney.
All General Motors
The automobiles recommended by
Johnson are sold by the General Mo-
tors Corporation. They include
twelve Oldsmobile sedans and six
coaches, four Buick coaches and five
Chevolets.
Observers of the workings of mu-
nicipal government were a bit sur
prised that the city officials are pre-
pairing to buy 100000 worth of fire
department equipment in advance of
knowledge or recommendation of
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's, based on an extensive sur.
vey undertaken here this summer.
Fire Chief Jesse A. Hutsell an
nounced recently that he wishes to
buy the following pieces of equip
ment:
Water tower, $4,000; 1000 gallon
pumper for the water tower; two
combination hose and chemical wag-
ons for requirements at No. 16 and
No. 4 firehouses; squad wagon for
No. 30 engine house and two service

miscellaneous items.
