His first official commendation for gallantry came dur- ing hostilities with the Apache In- dians in 1885, when he was given the congressional medal of honor for brav- ery, and his work throughout the World War, limited as it was from the general’s standpoint, won him the distinguished service medal “‘for espe- cially meritorious and conspicuous service.” Rise Was Unparalled.

Killed in Crossing Crash * { STONEVILLE, C., August 6 (#). | —Gene Scales w: illed and Arthur Dalton probably fatally injured here this afternoon when their roadster automobile was struck by a Norfolk & Western passenger train. The name was unfamiliar to her, she declared, and as she awakened with a start she jumped up and wrote down the name, which was turned over to the police today. Beyond revealing that the name was that of a Washington man, the county authorities were secretive about the information given by Mrs. Mills, but did indicate that they were ready to companies were digging into the de- bris early this morning in an effort | to determine whether the automobile | and its driver had heen caught under | the mass of bricks, heavy joists, | desks and furniture of all descrip- | tions. H. Davly, the night watchman in the building, said that he was sitting in | the front office when the crash came. | I had made a round of the build- | ing about 10:30, he said, when I was !in that particular part of the structure. | T saw nothing unusual. Shortly after I took my seat in the front office, an | automobile drove into the alley and stopped ahout..midway. ~Two men | went in the alley behind it, and I | heard voices of the three men in- cluding the driver arguing, but T could not understand what they sald. The two men standing on the ground were white, but I do not know whether the other man was white or not. I believe that I could identify one of the men who was standing outside of the ca Heard Series of Thuds. “They had been there but a few minutes, when I saw the two men who had been standing by the car run away. I then heard the automobile start through the alley in the direc- | tion of C street. I heard a series of thuds, sounding like the automobile was being driven against the wall of the building and I ran out to look up the alley, when I was blinded by a great cloud of dust and everything was darkness in the alley. It hap- pened so quickly after the two men ran out, that I do not believe that the automobile had time to get past the point of the building that collapsed. “These thuds which sounded like the automobile ramming against the building, happened but a second before | the loud crash came. After the crash |1 looked around in an effort to see | the men who ran from the alley hut 1 have not seen them in the crowd.” | Explosion Is Blamed. | Herbert Boogart. assistant buildinz |inspector of the District of Columbia, made a_preliminary inspection shortly before 2 o'clock this morning with the aid of a flashlight, and reached the conclusion that the wall was forced out by an explosive of some kind di- rected from within. Mr. Boogart was accompanied by F. Dowling, a com- puter in the building inspector's of- | fice, who also came to the same con- | elusion. The clear cut of the remaining walls, | Mr. Boogart said, indicated clearly that the collapse was the result of some interior force, which forced the walls outward. He said that the re- maining walls are plumb and in no danger of fallng. No structural changes were being made in the build- ing, and he said he could not believe that excavation going on in the build- ing would have weakened the walls, as then the tendency would have been for them to fall within. He said was thoroughly familiar with building, and while it was old ft was in excellent structural condition, hav- ing much steel reinforcement in its masonry. Belief that was the re- sult of a previous detonation cred at the building was given furtier welght by Alhert Willls, who lives @ 17 Jackson Hall alley, which is im- mediately opposite the section of the building which collapsed. Heard Loud Report. Willis said that he was Iving on bis bed, when he first heard a tinkling of glass, Some boys were playing in the alley, he continued, and he thought they were breaking glass with' stones, when he started up to investigate About this time. he went on, there was a loud report like a charge of dynamite going off, and then the noise of falling bricks and stone, which shook the building he was in percep- tibly. “I have. heard and seen..billdings collapse before,” he said, “but I never heard anything like that, preceded by such a loud report, as though & gun was going off.” Hundreds of persons were drawn to the scene by the fire apparatus, and the crowds swelled as the report spread that a building had been bombed. All that could be seen was the great mass of debris piled many feet high fn the Pennsylvania avenus entrance to Jackson Hall alley. Fire- men stood around with grappling hooks, undetermined just what to do, as the roof of the building over the crash \section that collapsed dangled perii- ously in the air, and even the police kept a respectful distance. run down any clue in their efforts to { solve the murdér apd would transfer the investigation tof Washington. __ Large streams of water poured from the water supply lines on each floor
