Detafls of Tragedy. Following s the detailed account of the tragedy as it appeared in the gollege paper of October 16. Qeorge A. Cadwell, '21L, of New Britain, Conn., suffered injuries when his automoblle overturned at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon near the County infirmary which resulted in his death 45 minutes later. His companions, Anderson Meadows, special law stu- dent, and Ellzabeth Carter, '23, were also injured. Miss Cartor's back was everely wranched and she was con- siderably shaken up. Meadows was bruised and scratched but suffered no more serious Injuries. The party left Ann Arbor early yves- terday aftornoon, according to Mead- ows, and started toward Ypsilanti on the Washtenaw road, in a Cleveland roadster. A short distance this side of the county poor house, Meadows, who was driving at A rate varying be- tween 20 and 25 miles an hour, at- tempted to turn out around a Ford var which was traveling in the same direction, to pass it Rear Wheel Breaks. The road at this point had been heavily gravelled, and the roadster, wtriking the loose gravel, skidded slightly, breaking the left rear wheek and overturning. The occupants of the car were all thrown clear of the wreckage, lighting on the road where Cadwell struck his head. Automobiles approaching from the other direction rushed Cadwell to the Homeopathic hospital where he died from a fractured skull 45 minutes aftorward without regaining con- sclousness. Meadows and Miss Carter were hurried to St. Joseph's sani- tarium from where Meadows was Iater taken to the FPhi Alpha Delta house. Miss Carter was reported as resting ans comfortably as could be expected at n late hour last night. Meadows and Miss Carter are severely broken up by the shock of Cadwell's death. Cadwell Was Delta Taw, Cadwell was & member of the Delta Tau Delta traternity, Phi Alpha Del- tu legal fraternity, Griffine, and Pi Delta Epsilon. He was business man- sxger of the Chimes and manager of tho Varsity Glee ana Mandolin club. The story of the accident as told by Meadews has been corroborated by the driver of the Ford car which the other machine attempted to pass. The name of the Ford drtver could not be ascertained. Funeral arrangements are being taken care of by the Phi Alpha Delta traternity and the body will remain in the undertaking rooms of R. A. Dolph until word is recelved from Cadwells CASCARETS “They Work while you Sle: /. -t ~a N Do it! Do it!

Drewes Shot in Winning Election Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. 18— Charges that republican c En orators were making an appeal to racial hatreds and prejudices “which will continue to bear evil fruit long after the coming election,” were made by Franklin D. Roosevelt, democrativ vice-presidential of specches today | western Michigan. ““These republican speakers,”™ Mr. Roosevelt said, “basing their appeals on false premises and misstatements of fact are deliberately inflaming the passions of their hearers, creating enmity toward those countries whose soldiers with our boys fought side by side in the late war—coun'ries that are stiil allies and countries that will, God willing, continue to be our allies in the great work that conm- fronts the civilized nations in re- building the world after the storms , 0f the great war. “Wild charges are spread about by republican erators who, raving about internationalism, would lead the ill- informed to believe that other coun- tries are plotting against us. Foolish appeals are made for us to live our own lives and let Europe go hang, through south- | just as though it was possible for us or any other nation to lead a life of national isolation. It is hardly conceivable,” he sai “that the more progressive elements among republican party leaders can continue their support of Senator Harding. Were he even a standpat- ter, a conservative of conservaties, it seems to me it would be easy to fol- low him. His apparent inability to say what he means or even what he says, should make him absolutely hopeless as at standard bearer from a progressive point of view. “Senator Harding had done much in the past two weeks to injure his own cause. Most of us realize that the American public likes a clean- cut, straight from the shoulder man, and that it does not like men in one thing and mean another. Senator Harding'e flip flop policy on the league alone i lustrates above anything else that he is not fit, not only to become the chief executive of this nation, but even to lead his own party in help- ing to solve the great problems which now confront us.” | WOULD RE-ORGANIZE PROFESSIONAL BALL Owners of Various Olubs in Big Cir- cuit Discuss Advisability of “Civilian Tribunal” Today. Chicago, Oct. 18.—Discussion of plans for the reorganization of base- ball under a “‘civilian™ tribunal was started here today at a joint meeting of National and American club owners, All the members of the Natlonal league headed by President Heydler were present, as were representatives of the Chicago, New York and Boston American league clubs. Ban Johnson, president of the American league had anounced he would not attend the meeting and the five members, ‘Washington, Cleveland, St. Louis and Philadelphia—who aligned them- sclves with him in the fight last winter were nat expected to attend. The chief topic today was the dis- cussion of the Lasker plan of reorgan- jzation, which if adopted would place control of professional baseball under a tribunal of three men not interested financially in the game, This would do away with the national commission which has been without a chairman since the resignation of August Herr- mann of Cincinnati last fall. MUST FINANCE CROPS. National Council Tells of Imperative Needs. Washington, Oct. 18.—Declaring that *“some one must finance year's crops, Geo. P.

No weapon was found near | the body. The palice said they intended to question Charles Schaloss heir to a $100,000 estate and friend of Drewes in the hope that he might be able to give aid in tracing Drewes’ movements Schaloss is said to have seen Drewes in Atlantic City on Saturday. Robbery, the police say, was evi- dently not the motive, if Drewes was deliberately murdered, as about $900 in cash, checks and Liberty bonds were in his clothes when the body was found, Schaloss, who was visited v Drewes in Atlantic City Saturday. has gone to his home in New York it was said. Killed Elsewhere William Belshaw, head of the “mur- der squad” of the Philadelphia de- tective force, helieves Drewes' body was carfied to the lot where it found after the collegian was elsewhere. This theory, he said, was borne out by the discovery today of tracks of a motor car. The imprint of the tires upon the road showed the car had been driven north from the city: that it swerved toward the curb- ing within a few feet where the body was found und then switched to the center of the road. No footprints were found on the lot which is covered with grass. Drewes left his home here late Sat- urday telling his parents he intended to go to Reading. Pa., to purchase a motor car.

BELL O R R T e congregation on hand to greet former pastor and the assemblage was no means confined to the “old folks.” In the course of his more intimate talk, Dr, Bell touched upon the theme of “old folks” and by drawing abvious parellels said that if a person’s soul is all right tkere is no such thing as “old folks.” The body, he said, is but the earthly raiment of the soul and though the body may become old, feeble and worn, the soul, if it 1s righteous, never grows old. Among the old folks who were present at the service were Ndwton Smith and Mrs. M. S. Burdick. To these members of the congregation went the distinction of being the old- est people in the congregation. They were warmly greeted by their friends, received numerous congratulatory greetings and a bouquet of flowers. Mr. Smith iz 82 vears old and Mrs. Burdick is 8§6. Following the service an informal reception was held in the church when Dr. Bell grected personally many of his former parishioners..

Reed, a brother, from Louise Bryant, Reed’s widow. b Reed had made several visits to Russia during the soviet regime. Since his rture from this country last 3 s here had received various conflicting reports regarding him. One was to the effect that he had been executed in Finland, as a soviet emissary and another that he had been imprisoned in Russia. John Reed for the past ten years was prominent as a writer in maga- zines and a war correspondent. In addition he wrote a number of books an the world war and problems aris- ing from that conflict. In 1916 he was in Russia as a socialist delegate, and upon his return it was announced he had been ap- pointed Russian consul in New York. He was not accorded recognition by the United States government how- ever, and later dispatches fram Petro- grad claimed his credentials as consul had been cancelled. Reed’s pronounced views on communism led to his arrest on several occasions, and it was charg- ed he made seditious utterances while the United States was engaged in the war. Charges of sedition brought against him were dropped, however, in April 1919, He sailed for Russia during the autumn of the same year, and sub- sequent to that time was indicted at Chicago for violation of the state syndicalism act. It appears he later returned to the United States, and once more went to Europe it being reparted he had been found in the coal bunker of a ship in a Finnish port. The state department at Wash- ington denied he had an American the | passport and it wa charged he was traveling with forged papers. Since reaching Finland, Reed has been reported arrested on two occa- sions, and at one time it was said he had been executed in that country. On August 28 it was reported he had been sent to Moscow to represent American Communists. John Reed was born at Portland, Oregon, on October 22, 1887. He re- ceived the degree of bachelor of arts at Harvard university in 1910 and immediately began his career as a writer. He served at various times on the editorial staffs of prominent mag- azines.
