house, possible skull fracture.
Hurls Truck to Roof.
Petersch, Roth and Newhouse
were on the loading platform at
the time of the explosion.
Fragments of the platform were
sent*a hundred feet into the air.
A loading truck was hurled upon
the federal building roof. Five
automobiles were buried. Hun
dreds of windows within a radius
of two blocks were shattered.
Firemen and police, aided by
volunteers, removed the debris and
found the three men buried be
neath the wreckage.
Bomb or Gas.
Two theories, that escaping gas
collecting beneath the platform
was ignited, or that a bomb sent
through the mails exploded pre
maturely, were advanced by postal
GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
inspectors and police following a
preliminary investigation.
No fragment of a bomb or other
explosive substance, however, has
been found by investigators, who
are continuing their work tonight
with the aid of searchlights.
Gas Scented.
Gas had been scented by em
ployes on the platform for two
days. .
The theory that a bomb caused
the explosion, which filled the
working room at the postoffice
with fragments of glass and other
wreckage, was advanced by post
office inspectors, who will be aided
in their investigation today by in
spectors from Chicago.
GEORGIA YAM PRICES
WILL SOON RUN HIGH,
IS MARKET FORECAST
Atlanta, Nov. 13.—Prices for
kiln dried Georgia yams will run
as high as $4 or more per 100
pounds before the middle of De
cember, it was forecast in the
current issue of the Market Bulle
tin of the State Bureau of Mar
kets. Letters from prdouce mer
chants, wholesalers and jobbers as
far distant as Texas were the
basis for the price estimate.
The sweet potato crop is short
more than 18,000,000 bushels in
the United States this year and
4,000,000 bushels under 1923 in
Georgia, giving sound basis for
forecast of high prices, according
to market bureau officials.
The price in Georgia markets at
present is substantially less than
$2 for sweet potatoes, running
from $1.25 in Columbus to $1.80
in Augusta.
The price should begin to im
prove within the next week, it was
indicated by market bureau ex
pe rts. -
