Simms, in Row

Quits Coal Case
' Attorney General Said to
Have Put Restrictions on
Evidence Against Indict?
ed Miners and Operators
Interference Is Resented
! Continuances in Acticwis
May Be Granted When
Trials Are Called Nov. 8
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 12.?Dnn W.
, Pimms, special Assistant Attorney Gen- |
eral in the cases pending against coal j
operators and officials of the United
Mine Workers of America indicted
under the Lever act last winter, has
resigned.
Mr. Simms, while admitting that ho
had sent his resignation to Attorney
General Palmer at Washington, re?
fused to discuss the action at his home
in Lafayette, Ind. It is understood, :
however, that Mr, Simms's resigna- ?
tion was due to a disagreement with j
the Attorney General regarding pro- ;
cedure and evidence to bo used in the |
coal cases.
Palmer Restricted Action
It is said that Mr. Simms received !
a letter from Mr. Palmer a few days i
ago, placing certain restrictions on the ;
evidence to be used in the coal cases,
and that Mr. Simms's resignation was
?landed in soon after the receipt of ,
this letter. Just what the restrictions I
in the letter were is not known.
According to a well informed source
Mr. Simms is said to have resented the
alleged interference of Attorney Gen?
eral Palmer in tho case.
There have been rumors recently
in Indianapolis that tho indictments i
against the coal operators and miners
under the Lever act might be dismissed,
with a possibility that the men would
be reindicted later, but efforts to verify
this have been futile.
?It was also reported that a continu- i
anee might be granted when the cases'
were called for trial in the United j
States District Court for Indiana on
November K, as not all of the defend- '
ants have yet been brought within the !
jurisdiction of the Indiana court, which I
is presided over by Federal Judge A.
B. Anderson.
Special Prosecutor Silent
L. Ert Stack, formerly United States
District Attorney for Indiana, who has
been employed as a special government
attorney in the case, also refused to
discuss the case, and declared that any
information to bo given out should
1 come from tho Department of Jtistico
nt Washington.
Fred Van Nuys, present District At?
torney, said that he had received no In
1 timation thut indictments against tho
: coal men under tho Lever act were to
' bu dismissed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.?Attorney
, General Palmer said to-night that tho
resignation of Dan W. Simms, special
assistant in government cases pending
against coal operators and miners'
union officials, had been received by tho
Department of Justice, but that no ac?
tion had been taken. Mr. Palmer re?
fused to discuss Mr. Simms's resigna?
tion and would neither affirm nor deny
' that diff?rences existed as to prosecu
i tion of tho indicte/l coal men.

Twelve Firemen
Overe?me by Gas;
One Nearly Drowns
Heroic Work Prevents Ex?
plosion of 1,000 Gal?
lons of Gasoline Stored
Near Blazing Warehouse
In an effort to prevent explosions
of gasoline in underground tanks near?
by, twelvo firemen were overcome in
fighting a fire in the soven-story ware-'
j house of A. Santinl, 443-445.East 149th
? Street, early yesterday morning. Es?
caping illuminating gas and fumes
caught tho firemen In the basement
of the warehouse while they worked
in water to their waists and only with
difficulty were they rescued by other
firemen. They were taken to hospitals.
Patrick Moore, a fireman, wlio was i
most dangerously injured, was over- ;
e?-_uo by the gas and was found uncon- ;
j scious and floating on top of the water. !
His companions missed him, and after '
! a twenty minute search ho was found. I
? Automobiles and furniture valued at i
! $100,000 were destroyed.
Heat Melts Gas Fixtures
The tire, which swept t rough the !
j basement and first and second floors of j
j tho building, was discovered by George ,
O'Sullivan, a patrolman of tho Alex- j
ander Avenue Station, at 3:15 o'clock.
Acting Batttlion Chief George Flynn
turned in a third alarm when ho saw ;
there was a gasoline and oil station
next door. One thousand gallons of
gasoline wero buried just outside the
door, and several streams of water were
kept on the, surface of the ground to
keep tho flames from reaching it. As?
sistant Chief Samuel Joling and Chief
John Kenlon answered the third alarm.
Before the companies could reach the ',
scene the heat had melted the gas fix?
tures in the warehouse and gas escaped,
making the work of sotting up water
attacks perilous. The firemen went into
the building, tore holes in the floor and
entered the basement to check the !
spread of the fire there. It was through \
orro of these holes that Moore went '
and was caught by the fumes and over?
come, dropping into the water.

The flro was checked after it had
damaged the front of tho first and sec?
ond floors and their contents.
Two of the injured firemen, Frank
Henn, of Engine Company HO, and Wil?
liam Burns, of Engine Company 71,
were taken to Lincoln Hospital. Two
others. Andrew Lundsten and Albert
