HOLLYWOOD, Calif.,, January 11.— | George Scott, explorer and motion pic- Iture camera expert, was found dead in his gas-filled studio apartment here last night under circumstances which prompted the police to call it homicide. ‘The police stated the man evidently had been dead several days, and the presence of blood at his mouth, a con- dition described as unusual in asphyxia- tions, warranted the investigation.

WOMAN LOSES SUIT | FOR CRASH DAMAGES District and Capital Traction Co.w‘ Held Not to Blame in Car Plunge. The District of Columbia and the Capital Traction Co. were exonerated late yesterday afternoon by a jury in Circuit Division 2 before Justice Hitz of responsibility for injuries received by Miss Kathryn A. Collins, Clifton Ter- race, in February, 1926, when an auto- mobile in which she was riding crashed through the railing of Calvert | Street Bridge and fell into the ravine 40 feet below, killing a woman com- | panion. The plaintiff claimed that snow had been packed against the railing so as to form a ramp and the skidding car hurtled over this incline through the rail, which gave way because of its rusted condition. She asked $50,000 damages. Proctor L. Dougherty, president of the Board of District Comi loners, called as a witness for the plaintiff at the time of the accident, was a member of a_committee of the Board of Trade which examined the bridge and found it to be in an unsafe condition. The Capital Traction Co. was let out of the case on motion of Attorney Edmund L. Jones. Only the question of the liabil- ity of the District was submitted to the jury, which held that the municipality should not be held responsible. As- sistant Corporation Counsel Richmond B. Keech appeared for the District, while the plaintiff was represented by Attorneys Easby-Smith, Pine & Hill. The latter are expected to move for a new trial, g Mgl e Logs are cut into shapes instead of flat boards by a system of sawmill operation recently introduced on the West_Coast.
