CORONER BRANDS CLUBHANGONARD Nelson Who Stood by as Girl Drowned, Is Flayed | Seattle, Wash., July 26 (®—F. Ereigh Nelson, wealthy Seattle club- Inan and broker, and two other men last night were branded by a cor- bner's jury as cowards and held inorally but not criminally respon- sible for the death of Miss Violet Maude Payne, music and dancing teacher who presumably was drown- ed when she fell from Nelson’s yacht here after a liquor party early last Wednesday. Although Prosecutor Colvin announced there would be no | further iInvestigation of the tragedy | unless additional evidence is uncov- | | Ewing D. ered, Nelson was held under a $20 (000 bond. The other two men were freed. Evidence was submitted indicat- | Ing that the three men and Mrs. Winona Gorman, the fifth member | bt the party, stood by without mak- | gxg any real effort to rescue Miss | ayne. | . The coroner's jury found that Miss | ayne met death when she accident- | cny slipped and fell into Lake Union {while stepping from the boat to the Seattle Yacht club dock after what | |was termed a “wild party” aboard the vessel, Nelson, Captain A. F. Bell, skip- per of the boat, and E. E. Barring- ‘ton, assistant secretary of the Yacht \club—in the opinion of the jurors, ‘made “no real effort to rescue” the iwoman, but on the contrary, stood by and watched her struggle for her life in the lake waters. Further, the jury of ‘and two women found that Nelson, Bell and Barrington conspired to conceal the fact of Miss. Payne's death from police. Little censure of Mrs. Gorman was voiced by the jury. She also was released. The only witnesses heard at the ‘inquest were Bell, Barrington and ‘Mrs. Gorman, who all told virtually the same story. Nelson, on the ad- 'vice of his attorneys’ did not testi- ty. The evidence shows that, with the exception of Mrs. Gorman, all mem- ibers of the party—Nelson, Bell, ‘Barrington and Miss Payne, the de- ceased—had during the evening con- sumed a large quantity of liquor, the jury report stated. “Bell, while holding the position of captain of the yvacht, showed himself cowardly and un- worthy of being in any position per- | taining to boats. “The evidence shows that no real effort was made by him to rescue \the deceased and in agreement with | Barrington and Nelson, they conspir- ed to prevent publicity and to pre- | vent reporting of the accident to po- lice authorities, four men | exalted |“The | spite warnings of |trouble descended | Chiet NOW YOU ASK ONE CORRECT THE ERRORS Here's & new game.

The senators, Smoot, republican, Utah, and Harrison, democrat, Mis- sissippi, both believe the move is es- sential 50 congress can get under way the complicated and lengthy task of enacting the tax bill earlier than usual and then turn to the im- portant problem of Mississippi river flood control. The Mississippian declared the extra session should commence Oct. 1, while Smoot, who has just re- turned from a call upon the presi- dent in the Black Hills, proposed the earlier assembly between Oct. 15 and Nov. 1. While concurring in the view that the tax bill should precede all other legislation tasks, the two senators disagreed on the amount of tax re- duction, Smoot, who is chairman of the senate finance committee, declared the reduction should reach $300,- 000,000 and become effective by March 15, before the next tax re- turns are filed. Senator Harrison proposed a cut of $500,000,000 with reductions including the lopping off of corporation levies and surtaxes on medium-sized incomes. The Missis- sippian contended that Smoot’s re- duction was the same as that pro- posed by the democrats in the last session. Arother figure of $335,000,- 000 was set By Representative Gar- rett of Tennessee, the house demo- cratic leader, who sald this reduc- tion could be effected by the enact- ment of a tax bill following the lines of the measure sponsored last winter by Representative Garner, of Texas, ranking minority member of the ways and means committee. Passage of legisiation to adjust alien property claims also were fa- vored by Senator Edwards, demo- crat. New Jersey, In another review of the next season's program. Both Smoot and Harrison held the flood control problem was a para- mount task of the coming session. The Utah senator sald he favored a system of spillways with reservoirs, it the latter are deemed necessary, to be established and operated by the army engineers. While Harrison did not outline his views on the flood measures, he declared that he |regarded this legislation as the out- standing task of the session and ad- vocated it be the first legislation enacted.

UNITED STATES TIRES ARE GOOD TIRES ERE are a dozen places in building a tire where a little rubber could be saved . An ounce here, another ounce there — but adding up to thousands of pounds in a year’s production. But the car owner can never tell when this skimping is going to cause him trouble. When he pays his money for a tire he wantsto be sure it will stand unusual road conditions, and that the strain of sudden braking will not un- cover a weak point. He wants to be sure he will get the full mileage to which he is entitled. !J. S. Royal Cords are built with the idea that every man who buys them should get all the mileage that can possibly be built into a tire. The policy of “Plenty of Rubber” governs every operation in building U. S. Royal Cords. It puts plenty of rubber not only outside,where you can see it—but inside, too, where it does not show but where the strain comes, “Plenty of Rubber” proves its value in the final test—the service of U.S. Royal Cords on the wheels of your car.
