 The direct cause of his death is be- ueved to have been a punctured lung. In addition to having both his feet crushed, he had several ribs broken, and was wounded about the head.

He did not talk much about the accident but he told in simple narrative how he made leap for car after he had thrown yard switch, he slipped and went under. About twenty cars, he said, passed over him.

Plumbing Contractor Sues for Annullment of Mar

WOMAN NOT IN COURT ROOM
Dispositions of Bridgeport People Show Father Was
 Black Man

Is black blood in the bride 8 valid reason for annulling her marriage with 8 white person? Dispositions taken sometime ago in this city, as reported in the Farmer, were intro duced in the suit of William s. Hor- ton, a plumbing contractor at 204 West tooth St., New York, before Justice Fitzgerald, in the Supreme court, yesterday, for decree annull- ing his marriage to Edith De V. Hor- ton, on the ground that she did not tell him before her marriage that she had negro blood in her veins.
 His wife, Horton says, represented herself to be of mixed French and Spanish percentage, but he declares he learned that she was a mulatto. The suit is one of. great interest to law whether a woman is bound to tell her fance all about her origin and also whether negro blood in a wife's veins constitutes a valid ground for making the marriage void.
 According to Horton the two were married in March, 1909, after a brief courtship that followed a chance ae- quaintance begun on their way home after this meeting Horton says the woman came to him and pleaded with him to marry her.

 Washington, April 27.-John D. Rockefeller is tired of waiting for Congress to accept his half billion dollars as a gift to the human race'' and it is expected here today that he will take steps immediately to incor- porate his ''foundation'' under the laws of some state.
 Secretary Murphy has let it be known that Rockefeller was dis pleased at the delay and the lack of enthusiasm with which his proposi- ton was received. Hepburn fears that the bill will relieve the entire Rockefeller estate from taxation. La Toilette and others think that the terms of the measure are too vague
