FIREMAN SAYS CITY HOSPITAL SERVICE 1S LAX

‘McKinney Hurls Charges

~After Injured Man Is Denied Admission.

Assistant Fire Chief R. A. MecKinney charged before the Indianapolis safety board today City hospital gives “damned poor service” to eity firemen injured in line of duty. Will H. Remy, president of the board, immediately ordered Chief McKinney to present his charge in writing and plans were made to take up the charges formally tomorrow. Chief McKinney's accusation was made as a result of alleged refusal by City hospital officials to admit a fireman injured in yesterday's junkyard fire. Leg Broken by Shrapnel

The fireman in question, Edward Smith, was taken to City hospital along with four others injured in explosions at the Solotkin junk yard. Mr. Smith was denied admission to the hospital, Chief McKinney charged, althought subsequent examination proved a piece of flying shrapnel had broken his leg. The injured fireman later was admitted. In ordering steps preliminary to investigation of the charges, the safety board asked Assistant Chief Otto Petty and Chief Harry Fulmer
