1925 Storm Killed 742 In 3 States z

By BOYD GILL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indianapolis Coliseum explosion Oct. 31 has shone the news spotlight on past disasters in Indiana, and the deadly downstate tornado of March 18, 1925, rates as one of the worst. The death of 71 persons in the Coliseum blast was a shocking modern-era catastrophe that willjgOlowh in the annals of history among those with 'the greatest toll of lives. But on that spring day more than 38 years ago when the wind went crazy, nature on the loose slashed a 219-mile lethal path through three states and left a horrifying trail of 742 dead, 2,771 injured and property damage of more than $16.5 million. The huge twister, traveling so low along the ground its familiar funnel cloud was obscured by its sheer bulk, was born in Missouri, traveled the width of Illinois and bulled its way through Owensville, Princeton and Griffin before it spent its wrath -and spared vast Hoosier ‘ areas eastward the tragedy and terror of its visit. The death ■ toll was lowest in Indiana. But even’ at that, the great storm killed somewhere between 70 and 96, depending on wh&t set of statistics is accepted as fact. The Weather Bureau officially lists the Indiana toll in that storm as 70 in Posey, Gibson and Pike Counties. Indiana University geologist S. S. Visher, an expert on the whirling storms, lists 93 dead. Other sources said 54 were killed at Griffin, 20 at Owensville and 22 at Princeton—a total of 96. A 1917 tornado disaster came in two parts over a period of 12 days and killed 67 persons. First, on March 11, one

twister -whirled through Hen 1 and Wayne Counties and kill' 21 in the New Castle are Then, on March 23, a secor shattered New Albany with toll of 46 dead. Another storm three sprinj later cost 39 lives in Well Adams, Allen, Jay, Wayne ar Randolph Counties., The da 1 was March 28, 1920.” Altogether over the last f years, nearly 300 persons ha' died in Hoosier twisters. Th period 1913 to 1925 was by fr the worst. Thereafter, the wor: tornadoes occurred in 1948 whe 20 were killed in the .Coatesvill Danville storm and f year late when 14 perished al Shelburn Home In Debut To House Os Commons LONDON (UPI) — Sir Ale< Douglas-Home was critic ized P today for a “lame perfcrm-l ance” in his debut as pi me r minister before the House of I Commons. / I ■. Some ■ British - newspapers ac- 1 corded the former peer some 11 faint praise. All acknowledged!]] he faced a formidable task II When, after 12 years in the gen-B tier House of Lords, he returned■ to boisterous Commons Tuesday I to lead off for the government I in the opening of the new ses-’l sion of Parliament. fl The Daily Telegraph, com- U menting in cricket terms, said J Douglas - Home “repeatedly ■ played and missed . . . his in-Bj nings seemed to hang by all thread.’’ f A baseball writer would translate this as “no runs, no hits, too many errors.” The current session of Parlia- . ment will be the last before the next general elections, which

must be held within 11 months. All eyes focused on DouglasHome and Labor party leader Harold Wilson as they squared off for a series of debates that will set the stage for the election campaign. The papers said the prime minister scored points on foreign policy—he was foreign minister before succeeding Harold Macmillan as premier—but slipped on domestic affairs. The Labor benches kept him under fire with a consistent barrage of heckling throughout his speech. Douglas-Home served notice he will fight the forthcoming elections on the issue of the retention of Britain’s nuclear deterrent. The Socialists want to scrap it in favor of increased conventional support to Western defenses. o 0 20 Years Ago Today 0 0 Nov. 13, 1943 — Break-ins were reported at the Riverside garage in Decatur and the Earm Bureau elevator in Williams, but little loot was obtained.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1963

larion County ury Resumes 'last Probe INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A larion County grand jury today ?sumed its investigation of the alloween explosion which 'aimed 71 lives at the Indiana tate Fairgrounds Coliseum. Prosecutor Noble Pearcy said lat he expected to call an aditional nine persons to testify t today’s session. The jury eard 18 witnesses at sessions ist week. a Pearcy also said he was hope--11 of obtaining a preliminary eport from Purdue University ngineers who are inspecting quid petroleum gas tanks and ther physical evidence taken rom the blast scene. University fficials said, however, that a 'etailed examination of the anks would not begin until tolay. Meanwhile, Melvin T. Ross, I general manager of the Indiana 1 Coliseum Corp., told another L team of investigators Tuesday | that he did not know he was I violating state regulations by I allowing the gas tanks to be (stored insidp the building. State, city and county investiJ gators have indicated thej) bel lieve one of the tanks Was reI sponsible for the blast which I ripped out a section of seats I during an ice show at the ColiI seum which Ross’s firm operI ates under a lease from the 1 Indiana State Fair Board. | Ross volunteered his testiI mony at a hearing copducted by I State Fire Marshal Ira Ander- | son. * He said he used 50 liquid i petroleum gas tanks to provide fuel for heaters in the cow barn adjacent to the Coliseum and for a heater irt his own office when the regular Coliseum heating system was not oper-

ating. A permit had been issued for f the regular heating system fol1 lowing an inspection but none t was issued for the portable - heaters. Charles Hill, chief of the Indianapolis Fire Prevention Bureau, said a permit is 2 required for any heating system, including portable heaters. Ross said he did not know of " the dangerous characteristics of * the gas but added that he had " taken every precaution to elimr inate any situation that might ' endanger the public. Earlier Tuesday, Hill and J Bernard Sweeney, chief investi- ? gator for Anderson, refused to allow experts for various out- - side investigating firms to ex- > amine the blast evidence until 1 after the Purdue engineers fin- - ished their work. “We’re interested in getting all the help we can but until Purdue gets through with its examination we can’t put personal interest ahead of public interest,” Sweeney said. Attorneys for the Coliseum Corp, had asked Sweeney and ! Pearcy to let a Chicago con--1 suiting engineer join in the test- ' ing of the equipment and had suggested a delay in the tests until this could be done. Tuesday also produced three more suits filed on behalf of persons injured in the explosion. Hester Brandenburg, Nona Foster and Mary Seifert each asked $50,000 damages in the actions filed against Holiday on Ice, Indiana Coliseum Corp., Ross, Discount Gas Corp., the Indiana State Fair Board and the state. > ■ K Three Girls Cited I For Sweater Theft I Three local girls have been cited | into juvenile court for the theft I of a sweater from a local store. | The theft occurred some time K ago.
