neared a curve in the road about half
way between Delaware and Sunbury,
Perfect, who was driving, lost control
of the car and it crashed into the
ditch and overturned.
The men extricated themselves
from the wreck and at first it was
not thought that their injuries we're
serious. Skinner suddenly said:
Boys, I'm hurt, and hurt badly" and
died almost Immediately after utter
ing the sentence.
Snow, who had missed the men in
Delaware, had hired O machine to
drive home and arrived at the scene
of the accident shortly after help had
been summoned. Simpson, who was
still conscious, was rushed to the hos
pital at Delaware in the hired car.
He died within a few minutes after
reaching the hospital.
Both Perfect and Lott were so COM
pletely unnerved that they were un-
able to give connected account of
how the accident occurred.
Simpson, who is well known in
Centerburg, is married and has two
small children. He was about 40
years of age.

AMERICAN SEAL
VIOLATED BY TURKS
Protests Made Against Action
Of Governor Of Syria.

Washington, July 19-Vigorous pro-
test has been made by the United
States to the Turkish government
against the action of the governor
general of Syria in breaking into the
French and British consulates at
Beirut and carrying off their archives
after the American consul general
there had placed. the seal Of the Unit
ed States on their doors.
1t became known here that many
prominent Syrians recently executed
by the Turks were condemned be-
cause their names appeared in papers
taken from the violated consulates
According to official information, the
mere presence of the names in the
consular records served as a death
warrant, without further proof of an
tagonism to the Turkish government.
The American consul general, w.
Stanley Hollis, already had strained
his relations with the authorities at
Beirut because of activities in behalf
of the citizens of allied countries left
in his care upon the withdrawal of the
British and French consuls there.
When the Turkish governor de-
manded access to the consulate pa
pers, Mr.. Hollis not only refused it,
but appealed to the American embas'
BY at Constantinople, which filed
formal remonstrance with the ports.
Even this was unavailing. The pa
pers were taken and still are held.

ARTHUR FRIEDMAN, HEARST
GUNMAN, REPORTED SLAIN


thur ('Farmer') Friedman, former
Hearst gunman, is said to have end
ed. In a letter received at the de-
tective bureau the news was car
ried here that Farmer" was killed
Sunday night in a fight in st. Louis.
Boyhood friends of Friedman say
he wasn't such bad chap before his
experience as a Hearst strikebreaker
in the great strike of 1912. A little
wild, perhaps; not a gunman. But
the newspaper bosses pinned a ''spe-
cial deputy star on his breast in
1912. And then they stuck a six
shooter in his hand. The protection
given him by the newspaper bosses \
proved too much for the tough
youngster. Blood was cheap. The
law only punished those who had no
pull" And Farmer" had William
Randolph Hearst and the other trust
press bosses behind him.
Friedman was arrested and tried
with the Barrett brothers for the
Staying of Conductor Witt. Atty
John J. Healy, counsel for the News
paper Publishers assn, defended
him and managed to save him from
jail; the same Healy that's now try
ing to save the reputation of Chief
HeaIey and the ThompsOn-Lundin
crowd.
His friends say that when Farm
err saw how easy it was to beat the
law" something seemed to snap in
his brain. He commenced a wild,
lawless career. But he didn't work
for the newspapers any more. They
threw him over when they had no
further use for his smuggling ability.
Henceforth he was an individual
gunman. He was punished frequent
". He no longer had the newspaper
trust to save him. He fought his
last battle in a strange city, quite
alone. His body probably will be
