ton of Death of Towle Call
on Authorities.
VALVE FOUND DEFECTIVE
Effort to Locate Relatives Fruitless
and the Body is Being Held
by Coroner.

We find that William Towle
came TO his death by accidental
asphyNiation by Illuminating gas,
probably caused by a defective
valve of gas jet. We recommend
that the city commissioners pass
an ordinance regulating gas fix
lures in hotels and roOming
houses.

The foregoing was the verdict re
turned Monday afternoon in the case
OF the. stranger, supposed to have
come here from Dewitt, Iowa, Satur-
day. who was found dead in his bed in
avenue Sunday Efforts TO find rela-
tives have been unsuccessful and the
remains are being held while the
search is continued.
Evidence before the coroner's jury
showed that no one had seen Towle
between 9 p. m. Saturday and 1890
D m, Sunday, when the body was
found. There was little beyond sur
mise TO show that he had been intoXi-
Gated when he retired when he retired
for the night.
Jet Is Defective.
II was shown. however. that the
valve in the gas jet was defective. If
turned one way it could not be moved
past the point of safety. but turned
the other way the gas could be turned
off and then on again with a single
movement II was pretty well estab-
lished that Towle turned the cock the
wrong way and turned it too far.
Coroner r. {. J. Meyer wired TO
Palisades, Colo, to G. II. Towle, named
OIL an Identification card carried by
the dead man. but received a reply
that there was no one by that name
at Palisades. Towle having removed
TO unknown parts. The message stat
ed that William Towle had been mar
ried but was divorced.

HONOR and FAIR DEALING IN SPORT

What's the use of trying to claim false rec
ords for Duke KahanamOku?
He broke one worlds record last Wednesday
and only one worlds record. according to the ac-
cepted authority on records The morning pa
per reached the height of absurdity today in an
editorial solemnly explaining that Duke broke
three s'world's A A. U. records" A worlds A.
A. u. record. is just as foolish as worlds
Waikiki record or a4'world's Honolulu record.''
That is selfevident.
The records of the IA. A.sU. (Amateur Athlet-
ic Union) are American records, not worlds rec
ords. Two of the worlds swimming records
claimed for Duke are held in Australia. Let's
be fair
The morning paper refers to the "Best Ath-
letic Records" of the World Almanac for 1913
and says that Dukes records are recognized I'M
der this heading That's true. But the morning
paper was careful not to say that under this
heading is the following footnote:
BEST American records as accepted by the ANA
teur Athletic Union"
And it is as sbest American records" that
Dukes performances stand under this heading
and the explanatory fo0tnote. Later on, the
Australian records the'world's records are Civ
en- as such The very authority quoted by the
morning paper differentiates between worlds
records and "a. A. U. records" and so does
EVERYONE else who knows anything about sport.
Duke has not claimed three new worlds rec
ords. The officials of the A. A. z. here have not
claimed three new worlds records for him. Yes
terday the president and chairman of the regis
tration committee stated in the STAR Bulletin
that Dukes records in the 80 and 220yard
dashes are, according to their accepted author
ity. not worlds records Only the morning pa
ner through this devious explanation that is not
syen plausible, insists on claiming for Duke two

his idea by facing the moving picture
artist and making the necessary ges-
lures to indicate important diplomatic
conferences? Does he know how they
went in one bv one until all of the
nations of Europe. through their rep
resentatives, were duly snapped or
photographed, and what magnificent
moving picture film it made?
or course people want to know why
they hadn't heard of this, and why
this film wasn't exhibited. The an
swer and the reason is very simple
when the picture was completed. and
the movie was started in Mr.. Popoff-
skys rooms by way OF trial, it was
found, TO the profound establishment OF
everybody, especially Mr.. Popoffsky,
that for some unexplained reason,
while his burly form was easily rec-
equitable, there was perched on top of
his shoulders a very large-siZed jack
ass's head, with its ears Tapping. 1t
was decided that this must be the
work of Providence, as there was no
accounting for how it got there, and
the thing was suppressed.
