U. S. EASTLAND PROBE OPENED BY REDFIELD

District Attorney Cline Also Summons Federal Grand Jury to Investigate Criminal Responsibility.

CHICAGO, July 29.—Examination of witnesses In the Inquiry of the United States department of commerce into the cause of the Eastland disaster began here today under the personal supervision of Secretary Redfleld. Witnesses including the officers and crew of the steamer and a long list of survivors were summoned to the federal building to tell their versions of the catastrophe.

While this inquiry was progressing, United States District Attorney Chas. P. Cline prepared to empanel a federal grand jury to investigate tho question of criminal responsibility for the accident, in the state's attorney's office efforts were directed to determine the extent of the Jurisdiction of the state grand Jury over the persons held by the coroner's jury for grand Jury action. Doubt was expressed as to the jurisdiction of the state over federal officials.

District Attorney Cline visited the Eastland and inspected the hulk for the first time. He hinted that a number of well known excursion steamers "might have to come off the lake."

The plan to raise the Eastland with derricks was abandoned today because of the immense weight of water within the hull. Work was begun to seal the openings in the boat so that the water might be pumped out and the hull floated.

mony of Long did not show any malpractice on the part of the law firm. Attorney Whitlock said that if the firm were reputable the name of Mayor Gossom would not have been mentioned and it was only because of the fact that the mayor was the person who was to be eventually ousted that his name was mentioned in the suit at all.

Attorney Roach was not in court during the early part of the argument but arrived in time to learn from Ballard what had been said about the firm. He rose and asiked the court's attention. He said he had been in-, formed that the Ann had been charged with criminal procedure and demanded that the bar committee be authorized by the court to make a thorough investigation.

The affray provided a good deal of fun for the other lawyers who gathered in the court room. Roach said Whitlock was talking for "grand stand purposes." Whitlock then appeared more chagrined than ever and he called the Roach flrm_ "designing practitioners," who had dupe& Iion&. WhitTock said Ballard ami Roach brought "blackir^ling- suits.''

Other lawyers gathered about were enjoying the spectacle, wondering when the court would stop it. No fatalities.

He notified Thompson, who at once called the police. When the officers arrived they went through the store but found no one. Thompson says, however, he thinks one of the burglars was in the store hiding at the tim9 for he says he shut the door after the officers left and when he made another investigation of the store about an hour later, the door was open.

camp when he said that Congressman Frank T. O'Hair was not able to be at the banquet for the reason that it rained during the afternoon, implying that the Paris roads were so bad that O'Hair could not reach Terre Haute. Miller said: "We are told that the visitors will leave for Danville over the Paris route in the morning. We are not told that they will get to Danville.' 'And,' said Miller, 'one of the gentleman refers to what Congressman O'Hair had done for democracy. I've done more for democracy than Mr. O'Hair ever dreamed of doing I worked for and supported the progressive ticket." A roar of laughter followed Miller's remarks.

Col. Howe, of Kentucky, expressed his appreciation for the roceptlons that had been accorded the visitors on their trip. He said Hoosler hospitality had certainly won a warm spot in his heart.

Col. Howe paid an eloquent and graceful tribute to the Terre Haute men, Secretary Clifford and to the hospitality With which they had been received and declared that while Col Fort had the mint bed, he also had a mint bed and all of the appurtenances appertaining thereto. He vouched for the welcome Hoosiers will receive when they go south over the Dixie Bee line.

Sidelights on the Chattanooga convention were given by W. L. Sparks who attended the convention as Terre Haute's representative.

Mayor Bosse, of Evansville, reminded those present that it was necessary for the road boosters to get started at 8 o'clock Thursday morning. Col. Conroy cf Tennessee and R. E. Cooper of Kentucky extended an Invitation to all present to make the southern trip.

Col. "Jim" Hoskins spoke intermittently, being especially emphatic when reference was made to brick improved roadways. (The colonel sells brick). When Col. Fort said the highway would "cement" the north and south even closer, Hoskins said he couldn see it. It would have to be brick and not cement.
