Although it may be accounted for by the fact that this is not an active season for coal buying the demand is considered rather light. The quantity coming will, it 1s expected, establish the utility of the fuel and pave the way for larger use of it. Under the as- sisted plan applications have been made for the movement of 40,000 tons of Nova Scotia coal to the central markets, AVIATOR IS LOST St. Louis, Mo., June 29.--Search was made by aeroplane today for Leslie H.

Toronto, June 30.--Two men were killed and four injured at 4.30 o'clock, yesterday afternvon, when a chain broke and a 1,500- pound ash hopper fell as it was being installed in the Canadian Pa- per Board Company's mew plant on Commissioner street at the foot of Carlew avenue. The two men who were killed: were underneath the giant bin put- ting in the studs with which it was to be attached to the wall. A block and tackle was being used to uuvid it up while they worked and the two McCulloughs, who are brotu- ers, were pulling on the, free end of the, chain at the moment when one of the links snapped. Burns and Hall were below the hopper, but practically clear of it, and it brushed over them as it fell. Used to Catch Ashes Standing out at an angle of per- haps forty-five degrees from the wall to which it was being attach- ed, the hopper was to hare wren used to catch the ashes from an automatic feed fire, the function of which was to heut the boilers which will supply the steam for the paper mill. A flange, about a foot in width, stretched out from the point at which the metal was being joined to the wall. From the flange, tne steel stretched upwards, anglewise, for about ten feet. It was about ten feet in length. McDonald and Dow were stand- ing directly beneath the flanged portion. When the chain broke, the nine studds which they had just put in, held, but without the sup- port of the block and tackle, the anglewise sheet of steel which was to comprise the hopper, would not stand. With the quickness of death Itself, it swung down and the luckless steelworkers 'were crushed between the flange, which was bent downwards to an almost perpendicular . position with the wall. Others engaged in the construe- AY, JUNE 30, 1928 tion of the plant hurried to the scene and lifted up the heavy steel. McDonald's body, which haa been held almost erect by the flange, toppled - over like a match-stick. Dow, who was still breathing, crumpled. The police ambulance was called and started for »t. Mi- chael's Hospital withDow, but he died on the way. Struck By Block The McCulloughs, who were standing inside the hopper, were struck by the falling block, which would weigh about 175 pounds. Pat had a small cut on his fore- head and abrasions on his shin; while his brother Bob had one shoulder bruised. Hall, who was the foreman in charge, had to have several stitches put into his head, and his face was badly cut as the steel scraped over him; while Burns, who with Hall was standing below but almost clear of the hop- tper, had a small scalp wound. None of these four were obliged to go to the hospital. Pat McCullough related that his brother Bob haa juse asked Mec- Donald for the loan of his wrench when the chain snapped. "My brother was standing in one of the two doors which were in the side of the hopper," said Pat. "He leaned out and said to Mac: "Lend me your wrench for a minute, will you?' And Mack said: 'Just a min- ute; I've only a couple more studs to put in.' But he never had a chance: to put them in. For al- most at that moment we heard a snap, then the crash, and when I next saw Mac, after they had lifted up the hopper, he was dead." Charles Morris, chief engineer in charge of the construction of the plant, could give no expiaunuvu for the accident when interviewed last night. '"The chain appeared to be in perfect condition," he said, "and as far as I can see the oc- currence, unfortunate as it was, falls in the pure accident class." Chief Coroner M. M. Crawiord, who is investigating the tragedy, stated last night that he had not yet set the date of the inquest, The plant, when completea, will be one of the largest of its tye in the Dominion. It is one storey in height and covers severa] 'acres. It is_expected to be ready for oc- cupation in six weeks.
