All three bodies were smashed almost beyond recognition. The first intimation of the triple tragedy came to passers-by when a child's body came hurtling down from the high tower of tho cathedral and thudded into a heap of broken bones and mangled flesh on the sidewalk. While some ran to the victim and others scattered, several wo- men fainting at the sight, the body of another young girl fell a short distance from the first. ‘Then those near the scene, gaz- ing aloft to the top of the. cathe dral tower, saw Mrs. Davey leap off and smash upon 4 curbing near where the bodies of her chil- dren lay. Eyewitnesses later told police that they saw the woman deliber- ately lift one child after the other to the railing of the campanile and hurl them off. Kathleen Davey.

All that was known was that Mrs. Davey, calm enough not to attract attention, inquired at a candy store near the cathedral the way to the edifice and whether she and the children, whom she led by the hand, would be ad- mitted to the campanile, The Westminster cathedral, where the tragedy occurred, is not to be confused with West- minster Abbey. The cathedral is on a side street in the Victoria district, some little distance away from the historic abbey.

By a vote of 74 to 157 the house re- jected Representative Frear's pro- posal to tax all profits under 20 per cent with a 10 per cent tax and all over 20 per cent with a 50 per cent tax. An exemption from taxation of profits up to eight per cent, plus $3.000 was allowed.

The complaint states the plaintiff “worked vigorously’ to win» the prize, writing 24 pages on his un- complaining typewriter and added to that lengthy article a summary of 500 words, bot}r of which he for- warded in the required time to the American peace award committee. Having complied with all of the stiuplations issued by the com- mittee in July 1923,, and having great faith in his ability as a writer, and also as a peace maker, the plaintiff alleges he feels the award- ing of the plan was conducted in “an improper and unfair manne?.” Attached to the complaint is a summary of Hendrick’s plan, which in view of the stifling effect on his effort by the committee, he feels should reach the eyes and ears of the world through the medium of the courts. Miss Esther Everett Lape, mem- ber in charge of the American peace award, said the prominence of the members of the jury, which included Elihu Root, was the ans- wer to Hendrick’s suit.

L. BRADFORD WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. —Impeachment proceed- ings constitute the only prac- ticable way to investigate the administration of Attor- ney General Daugherty, nator Borah told the senate today in offering to help start such action to oust Daugherty from the cabinet. This new attack on Dougherty fol- lowed public endorsement of the at- torney general by President Cool- fdge, who in the first open indica- tion he has given of his attitude, approved Daugherty as a “Coolidge delegate” to the Republican national convention next June, Borah’s suggestion of impeach- ment was made during general de- bate in the senate, started by Sena- tor Robinson, Arkansas, democratic floor leader, who warned that Pres- ident Coolidge was faced with poll- tical ruin if he clung to Daugherty. In this warning Borah joined, de- claring that the president must ac- cept responsibility if he keeps Daugherty in the cabinet and must answer for it to the people. Daugherty remained silent today. After indicating that he waa about to is#ne another stat: ent in reply to Senators Pepper, Xodge and Borah, the influential republicans who have urged him to resign and advised President Coolidge to ask for his resignation, the attorney. general changed his mind and sent word ‘from his apartment to his of- fice that he would have nothing to say today. His office gave out a statement, however, showing how his activity in’ a, war fraud case had resulted in recovery of $1,700,000 for the gov- ernment. In this statement it was set forth that there are “innum- berable other sults” pending and on these the “attorney gencral is work- ing day and night.” Conferences over the week-end will determine whether Borah’s tm- peachment suggestion will be car- ried out. It depends on the co-operation I receive from others,” Borah said, to- night. In any event, Senator Wheeler, Montana, proposes to go ahead with his resolution authorizing a senate investigation of Daugherty. It ts scheduled to pass the senate Monday though Borah’s suggestion of {m- peachment may lead to prolonged debate and perhaps to postponement of action. In yoicing his suggestion Borah sald. “The people have come to doubt the efficiency, competency and cleanliness of their government.
