KILLED BY FALL.
GUY SMITH BREAKS NECK IN
TUMBLE FROM BRIDGE At
ELpoN-HoLDs INQUEST.

Losing his balance as he was dis
mounting from a coal car which was
standing on the Rock Island railroad
bricge at Eldon, Roy Smith, aged IL
years, OF Mt. Pleasant, fell through the
bridge and the violent impact on the
ice, broke his neck. He died almost
instantly. Coroner A. w. Slaught held
an inquest at Eldon yesterday, the GER
dict Of the jury being an accidentaf
death. .a w. IT,
According to the evidence, young
Smith and his cousin, a young man by
the name of Greggs of Burlington, had
been spending the holidays with
friends In Centerville. In the even
ing they boarded freight train for
Eldon. They entered an open coal
car and rode there, unsheltered from
the cold. When the train arrived Ct
Eldon, the car In which they were
riding was stopped on the bridge.
Stating that he was cold and was 60
ing to get out and warm himself,
Smith started to climb over the side
of the car. It is thought that his be-
numbed condition caused him to lose
his hold. He fell through the bridge,

ed. Bookwalter said he himself fin
anced much of the work.
Bookwalter shortly after this be-
house patronized chiefly by big labor
had any interest in the concern and
said the sole owners besides himself
were Hugh Thorsch, Frank w. Ball
and Leo M. Rappaport, counsel for the
International Association Of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers here.
Rappaport defended John J. Nc
Namara in the extradition proceedings
here.
William J. Burns, who is here, ad-

No Help From Labor, Says LawIer.
mo union labor leaders, not even
Samuel Gompers, head of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, have lifted
a hand to help us In cleaning up the
big dynamite conspiracy, either be-
fore or since the Mcnamara confess
sions at Los Angeles" said Oscar Law
Ter, special government prosecutor for
the distract of southern California to-
day. He and John D. Fredericks pros
ecuting attorney of LOS Angeles con-
ferred with Charles w. Miller. U. S.
attorney, before the federal grand jury
of this district today resumed it's in
quiry into the alleged countrywide
dynamiting plot.
Mr., Lawler asserted that though
union labor leaders were quick to de-
nounce the McNamaras after their con-
fession and many Of them were quoted
as saying that every effort should be
made to prosecute all guilty persons,
no one had volunteered to get from
the McNamaras any details of the al
LEGGED conspiracy in which they
figured.
Asked concerning the supposed con-
fession of E. A. Clancy, the coast labor
leader, jointly indicted last week with
other labor men by the federal grand
I Jury at Los Angeles, Mr.. Lawler re-
piled that no statement on the xtes-
ton had been made by his OFF, or
would be. -.,.
But was there a confession:' he
was asked. @@H '.
eve didn't need any, replied Law
Ter. ~
"Why, some Of the coast labor lead
ers even interfered with the progress
Of our investigation at Los Angeles,
said Mr.. Lawler later,
He was shown the statement of
Clancy in San Francisco that Lawler
trid to "browbeat him" LAWYERS COM
ment was that the remark sounded
like a man who was being Squeezed
very hard" t 's5..r..r s.&

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Fourth Estate. ,

1.-The Fourth Estate" will be pre-
sented by the Poll Players next week
This is Joseph Medill Patterson's news
paper play, which won a signal sue
cess both in New York and Chicago,
but which has never been seen in
Washington. owing to the vagaries of
the theatrical booking agencies. 1t is
said to be a gripping drama with big
and forceful idea.
1t tells the story Of a young man.
aging editor who is trying to make his
paper a factor for good in the COM
munity, keeping it clear of political
influence and commercial pollution. As
the author belongs to the family which
owns one of the largest newspapers in
Chicago it is safe to assume that he
has drawn a faithful picture of the
newspaper world.
Although a newspaper drama. "The
Fourth Estate" is not a class play.
That is. it's interest is not confined to
the newspaper fraternity. 1t is written
in terms which are familiar to the
general public. At the same time it
gives a vivid picture of the making of
a modern journal and Of the incidents
and influences which go into the prepara-
tion Of every issue of a big daily.
An elaborate production is promised.
