Returns Very Weak.

Now and then there would be weak
return. and Doherty would bring off one
of his beautiful cross court passing
strokes; but most of the time he was
putting the ball into the net or out of
court or into Larned's hands or at the
net for an easy kill.
One stroke seemed entirely absent
from their play-the lob When forced
into difficulties the visitors almost in
yariably tried for impossible aces or
popped up easy balls for the Americans
to kill.
The attack of the Englishmen was
never so aggressive nor so persistent as
the constant cross court volleying Of
Larned: nor did they show the steadiness
and splendid accuracy of Whitman. An
other feature OF their play was the alb
sence of the speed that had been expect
ed OF them. Neither Doherty nor PIN
showed as much speed as Larned. and
Doherty was distinctly SLOW in getting to
the ball.

TRANKLER'S FRIENDS
SAY MURDER WAS DONE

the body had been in the water from
thirty-siy to forty hours.
Watched Stopped at e:I5.
Significance was attached by the po-
lice. in refuting the theory of robbery.
to the finding Of the mans watch on
the body. but they apparently overlook
ed the fact that it had stopped at 6:15.
1t is now thought that this must have
been the hour in the morning when Mr..
Trankler walked or was thrown into
the water This adds to the belief of
Trankler's friends that ne was knocked
down. robbed. and the body thrown into
the river. The friends argue that il
was getting light when the footpads
encountered Mr.. Trankler, that they
robbed him in the manner stated, over
looking the small bills in his trousers
pockets, and not taking the jewelry for
fear of its easy Identification in case
they tried to get rid of it.
Improving His Store.
Mr. Trankler was a frequent caller
at home of Mrs. Miller, where he was
Monday night before going out on New
Hampshire Avenue. He spent Sunday
evening at the Miller home, and at that
time remarked that he was going to
have his store painted and papered
Monday morning men appeared at tine
store to do the work. This is another
fact tending to show that the thought
of suicide was far from Mr.. Trankler's
mind.
The body of Trankler is at the morgue.
where it will remain until prepared for
burial. The funeral arrangements will
be made today by members of the fam
lily. II is expected the Masonic order
will officiate.

that place. The supposition from these
is that Mr.. Trankler was planning a trip

weaken the theory OF suicide, which was
the first to be brought forward. Acct

Every Bone in Unfortunate Mans Body
Broken Employer Will Defray
Expense of Funeral.

The funeral of Isaac Turner. the col
ored fireman employed at the Palace
laundry. 21f2 Street northwest. who
was caught in a Gywheel belt at the
laundry and whirled TO his death yes
terday morning. will take place tomor
row, at the expense OF his employer.
Services will be held at his late home
in Johnson's Court. though the arrange
ments have not been fully completed.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrcok has issued
a certificate of death by accident
The death of Turner was a terrible
spectacle. II was witnessed by mere
than fifty laundry workers, mostly
women. Turner was caught in a belt
which passes around the huge flywheel
of the engine used in driving the ma
Chinery. He evidently thought the belt
was slipping. and he was endeavoring to
put it back in place.
Manager Entered Too Late.
Bertram Moore, manager of the laun--
dry. entered the engine room just as
Turner was caught in the grasp of the
wheel and belt. Whipping out his knife.
he started in to cut the belt He had
only succeeded in partially severing it
when Turner's body fell to the floor b.
this time other employees had arrived
They did not doubt that Turner was
dead, but a call was sent for the Emer-
gency Hospital. Dr. Stuart responded
and at once confirmed the judgment of
The employees regarding the unfortunate
man.
Turner's trousers were caught in some
way by The belt of fly
wheel As the wheel revolved his body
was dashed against the brick wall o.
the engine room, and this. with the
tall 20 the floor, was responsible for the
breaking OF nearly every bone in his
body.
Turner has been employed in the laun-
dry for more than seven years. ali the
time in the capacity OF fireman. He
lived in Johnson's Court. only a short
distance from the laundry. and there his
body was removed. He leaves wife and
four children.
