! Her death was due TO morphine poison
ing and the police believe she COM
mitted suicide in fear OF disgrace.

They say that they only wanted her
as a witness, since she had been seen

Thus Gompers cries through what

BY JAMES HAY, Jr.

Further evidence Of the Presidents 3
desire 10 improve as rapidly as possible
the Governments control and regula-

This measure, which was prepared by

Tom caught the rhythm and chanted

poetry that the choppers repeated aft
