An ordained Methodist minister. he

from place to place. voicing his inter

ners.
The evangelist Is known in Rich =
mond and is highly regarded by his
few acQuaintances.
Contrary TO the report published
yesterday, events indicate that the
prohahie tragedy was accidental. Z.
IT, James, with whom the evangelist
rooms, says that when he discovered
all the windows of the room down
he formed the conclusion that the min
lister attempted suicide. He found
out later, however. from friends OF
Mr.. Sharpe, that this was simply an
idiosyncrasy he having always been
known to sleep with the windows
closed. no matter how warm the
weather.
Mr.. James. who discovered the I'M
odor of gas, is Of the opinion that the
jet was accidentally turned on when
the evangelist hung a pair of trous-
ers on the fixture upon retiring. The
tin was not removed from the jet. n
fact that would indicate the proba :
bility Of an accident. as one contem-
plating suicide would be likely to re-
move the tip so as to facilitate the
passage of the gas.
Mr.. sharpe was on the foor when
James entered through window. He
had apparently awakened In the mid
die OF the night and endeavored to
reach the door. but was so far under
the effects OF the gas that he fell I'M

Senator Smoot made no comment
in introducing the resolution, but said:
Congress was urged to rush

cause of the vital need of the nation
for shipping. There was no hesi-

have had plenty of time to do some

After todsy's conference IN the

made a brief statement that a portion
of the program had been discussed.
but no action had been taken. Cen

his manner that the meeting had not
been particularly stormy
