THEATER DISASTER
SUITS DISMISSED
Lack of Prosecution Ends Is
KniCkerbocker Pending
Damage Cases.

The Knickerbocker Theater disaster
of January %, 1922, was recalled yes
terday when the District Supreme Court
dismissed for want of prosecution 16
damage suits still pending as the result
of the disaster. Similar action is ex-
pected to be taken in about 20 other
cases when reached on the calendar
This will leave only two cases to be
tried in the court as the result of the
death of SO persons and the manning of
more than 100 others, following the COL
lapse of the roof of the theater.
DemurrerS were fled to the numerous
suits and one case was taken to the
Court of Appeals, which held that neg
ligence could be imputed only to the
Knickerbocker Theater Co. and Harry
M. Crandall, president of the COM
pany. Three of the cases were then
submitted to different juries and all
were decided in favor of Mr.. Crandall
and the company. The corporation was
later dissolved in a proceeding in Will
mington, Del. Because the result of
these cases and because of an unwill-
ingnesS on the part of a number of
plaintiffs to deposit the additional costs
demanded by the clerk of the court,
counsel decided to consent to the dis
miSSalS
The plaintiffs were represented by At
tOrneys Douglas, Obear and Douglas;
Sim and Sim, and j. B. Morgan, while
Attorneys Lambert, Yeatman and Horn
ing appeared for Mr.. Crandall One of
the two cases expected to be tried was
filed by Attorney Charles H. Merillat
and the other by the Douglas firm.

C. E. HUFF RESENTS
ATTACKS ON LEGGE
Grain Corporation Head Replies to
Simpson Charges Against Farm
Board Manager.
BY the Associated Press.

SPOKANE, Wash, January g.
President c. E. Huff of the Farmers
Rational Grain Corporation, in a letter
to the Washington Farmer, denounced
attacks made against Chairman Legge
by President j. A. Simpson Of the
Farmers Union, as absurd, personal
and political"
The Washington Farmer has made
public a copy of Huff's letter dated
January. Simpson charged the Farm
Board with deliberately depressing the
market for cotton and wheat" He also
quoted a letter of Senator Thomas,
Oklahoma, which said Legge as chair
man of the Federal Farm Board
admitted to the Senate Agricultural
Committee that the board has virtual
control of a monopoly of the American
wheat situation
Il attended the Senate Agricultural
Committee hearings" Huff's letter said.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma made a
lengthy report to President Simpson,
purporting to present state
ments developed by the conference.
This report is the basis for President
Simpsons charges. In every important
particular 1t diStorts or misrepresentS
statements made.
The charges which President Simp-
son makes against the rdTm bOaTQ are
absurd and have no basis either from
statements made in the Senate Com
mittee Conference or in the facts them
selves.
Farm union organizations in IL
States have publicly decided that
President Simpson is not their spokes-
man. This group met yesterday in ST.
Paul and created a committee which
will proceed at once to Washington to
investigate the entire matter at first
hand"
Their report, Huff wrote, should end
the controversy.

a new American-can stand against

He mentioned the difficulty of driving
home this idea to voters and officials
He spoke of disheartening conditions of
crime, especially the rate Of increase
among the young.
This new generation Of children,
healthy, trained and mentally inspired,
would go long way toward solving all
this. Most of our native criminal class

potency in approving claims of

ferring the charges.
