B|NDOvER OF
GROTTO Crash
Driver ASKED
Coroner to Urge Jury Action
AGAINST Chauffeur and
Mot0rman.
REPORT is TONED DOWN
M'Intosh Sticks to His Side
Despite Instructions to
'ReVamp.'

Coroner G. H. Keever announced
today that his inquest report of the
Sahara Grotto crossing crash, Oct.
IA, which resulted in the death of
twenty persons, would recommend
that the driver of the truck and the
interurban motorman be bound over
to the grand jury.
The report will be finished and
ready for filing in municipal court
Thursday, Keever said
Harry Stewart, 38, of S. West
ST., the truck driver, who was given
most of the blame in the public
service commissions report of the
tragedy, Tuesday, was arrested on
an involuntary manslaughter charge
Immediately after 'the crash and
held eighteen hours, until he was re-
leased on his own recognizance by
Municipal Judge Dan v. White.
Judge White ordered him to appear
Nov. IS.
Motorman Badly Hurt
The motorman, w. w. Merrill, 81,
of 6295 College Ave-, was injured Sc
riously in the crash, which shattered
the front end of the interurban.
The public service commissions
report distributed blame among
Stewart, members of the Grotto
party, passing motorists and a dim
interurban light.
One Grotto member testified that
he saw bright light and heard a
crash" and escaped alive, although
riding in the trailer, which figured
in the slaughter.
Saw Bright Light
A woman resident of the vicinity
also testified to the bright light, as
did the motorman, who declared he
turned the bright light on after
coming off a siding eighteen miles
from the city.
The law requires DINNERS within
the city limits. Most of the Grotto
party testified that they saw no
light or a dun one.
Many Grotto party members had
knowledge of the route, the report
points out, and further states "they
were paying no attention to lights
or signs"
It sets out that the light must
have been dim, however, but citing
tests made with the DINNER on says:
Gwen with the dim light the ap-
preaching train should have been
noticed by the truck driver and acct
dent averted."
Crossing Hazardous
Although with a clear view, the
crossing is hazardous, the report
continues. It recommends that on
such trips the crossing be tagged,
as is done with school BUSES.
The public incidentally was
blamed for the, forty-mile speed of
the interurban, on the ground that
speedy transportation is demanded
and the automobile rate is forty in
the country.
The report is to be printed and
distributed in an effort to prevent
such tragedies in the future.

Supreme Court Refuses Immediate
Hearing in Suit

ON-fA ~@@N ON1AN ANNAaoNo
Hearing in Suit
State Supreme Court yesterday
refused to advance the Evansville
city manager suit to immediate
hearing on the ground Of an insufIi-
cient brief.
City Clerk Louis P. Sarills OF
Evansville, refused to certify the
petition for a manager election to
city council last spring. Citizens
on the petition obtained an order
from an Evansville court directing
the clerk to certify the petition.
The clerk appealed to Supreme
Court and there the matter has
rested, the election not having been
held. The manager hackers had
asked for an immediate hearing
upon the ground that the outcome
might have some bearing upon the
validity of the Simms amendment,
which permits mayors TO serve out
their terms when manager form of
government Is adopted.

co N MISSION
WILL ASK BIDS
ON DRAKE MILL
State Industrial Body Decides
to Make Third Attempt
to Sell Property

Decision to advertise for bids for
the state-owned mill and elevator at
Drake was made by the state indus
trial commission at a meeting here
Wednesday.
Intention to make another effort
to sell the property was announced
some time ago by j. A. Kitchen,
commissioner Of agriculture and
labor, and member of the board.
Under the law the mill must be
advertised for 80 days before bids
are received. The property has been
advertised for sale twice before,
once in 1928 and again in 1924.
The best offer made for it on either
occasion was $4,000.
Advocating the plan to sell the
property, Kitchen said that it is cost
ing the state approximately $1,000
a year to maintain Il Waterman and
keep the building insured and that
the property is producing nothing.
A bill to compel the industrial
commission to sell the property to
the highest bidder. regardless OF
what the bid might be. was defeated
at the last legislative session by q
narrow margin.
