Statement Coroner C. C. Tiffin, now at Camp Farwel?, with the medical detach- ment of the National Guard, issued a deposition Monday, in which he said that, while he believed from the first that apoplexy was the cause of Dowsey’s death, he was the first to suggest to federal agents that an ex- haustive investigation into the death be made.

The tissue beneath was bruised, giving it the appearance of being suffused with blood. I then removed the skull cap and found a hemorrhage that started low and ex- tended over the entire brain.” Explaining the actions of one stricken with apoplexy, the coroner said: “While in most cases one stroke causes death, a man may have two or even three successive strokes be- fore death comes. The effect of the first stroke is to knock one down, paralyzing some member of the body. The general tendencies of the man stricken is to thresh about like a maniac until the following stroke. Dowsey may have sustained the wound in his head by striking it with great force while struggling on the floor of the washroom.” Dr. A. M. MacWhinnle, specialist, with offices on the se¢ond floor of the Securities building, who was the first physician to reach Dowsey aft- er the discovery of his body, said Tuesday morning that in his opinion Dowsey had not suffered an apoplec- tie stroke, but had been struck over the head with a dead instrament. Asked what a dead instrument was, he replied: “A ‘dead’ instrument, ts one which transmits beyond the force of con- tact, meaning that while the actual blow may not be severe, the force transmitted to other parts of the head is far in excess of the power of the blow received. A canvas bag filled with small shot would be de- seribed as a dead instrument.” Both Dr. G. H. Dowsey and James Dowsey, brothers of the slain agent, are believed to be on their way out here, and, while it is not probable, may appear at the inquest to be held here this morning. \Carl Was Touched With Broomstick Carl Berg’ told the city hospital authorities that a woman. struck him on the head with a broom, A cut was sewed up with four stitches and he was permitted to return to his home at the Preston hotel.

This would be hard to do, for on No two days do the same number of*girls work, some coming on all the time and some naturally aut ting.” Taking exception to the telegrams | sent out by the Chamber of Com merce and Commercial Club to Post- master General Burleson, urging the appointment of a local adjust ment board, McNally said Monday that the present board was institut ed at the suggestion of the workers. The board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce and Commer- cial club, at its weekly meeting Tuesday, will discuss the reply of President McFarland, of the phone company, to its telegram. MceFar- land wired that the strike was not a local one and therefore a local ad- justment board could not settle the issue. : Joint committees of the striking electrical workers and telephone op erators were making plans Tuesday for a picnic for Friday, probably at Schmitz park. ENFORCING DRY LAW BILL IS UP Wets Losing Ground in Fight for Modification WASHINGTON, July 16.—(United Press.)—With every move to repeal or modify the wartime prohibition act quickly defeated bythe drys, in- dications today were that the drastic prohibition enforcement bill will pass: the house in practically the same form it was reported from the com- mittee. The drys apparently have a safe three-to-two majority on any move to modify the stringent provisions. Efforts of liberals and anti-prohi- bitionists today were to be directed at decreasing the penalty for viola- tion of the wartime act. Scores of amendments were wait- ing. With the wets using parlia- mentary means to delay considera- tion of the bill, its passage in the house may be delayed until next week. Interest in the cloak rooms centers on the plan of Representative Galll- van, “wet,” Massachusetts, to force thru an amendment compelling every member of congress to insert in the record the amount of liquor he has stored. Gallivan claimed some mem- bers have enough to supply thetr families for 20 years.
