FELL To DEATH
DOWN ELEVATOR
SAM vRooM is KILLED AT NEW
COLLEGE BUILDING.
DROPPED OVER FORTY FEET
Hurried To Hospital In Ambulance
!. But Died An Hour After Acct
dent-SkuII Was Fractured
at Base of Brain.

Sam Vroom of Oskaloosa, labor
er, is dead, the result of an accident
which occurred late yesterday after
noon at the new Penn College main
building now in the process of con-
struction on PENIS new campus
north of town. Vroom fell forty
feet with an elevator cage and frac.
tured his skull and sustained a brok-
en- collar bone. Hemorrhage set in
and Vroom died before the doctors
could operate. He leaves a wife
and five small children.
Mr.. Vroom was employed by the
Arthur II. Noumann Construction
Company Of Des Moines as a laborer.
He was working on the third floor
of the new college building. Going
out upon the cage of the west hoist
for a wheelbarrow load of mortar,
vroom was on the cage when pull
Hey gave way, letting loose the cable
which held UP the cage, and permit
ting the rapid drop of the cage.
The drop was about forty feet. So
quickly did the accident happen that
few saw what caused the fatal injury
OF Mr.. Yroom. He was picked up
at the bottom of the shaft, bruised
and bleeding profusely.
The city ambulance and doctors
were called at once and the injured
man was rushed to the Mahaska hos
pital.
At the hospital examination re-
vealed that the skull was badly frac-
turcd at the base and that a collar
bone was broken. Preparations for
an operation were quickly made but
the mans condition grew worse and
finally the matter of operating was
abandoned.
Vroom never regained conscious
ness. He passed away about six
O'Clock last evening, little over an
hour after the accident.
| The victim lived southwest of Os-
kaloosa, about half way between this
city and Beacon. He is well known
about town and leaves wife and
five children.
Vroom's death is the third death to
take place at Penn College during
the brief period of one year. Two
lives were lost in the fire which de-
stroyed the old college structure last
spring.
The pulley which gave way is To-
Gated in front of the hosting engine
which is located in front of the CEN
ter of the new building. When the
pulley broke the cable was suddenly
looscd and permitted the rapid drop
of the cage.
Some idea of the force of the I'M
fortunate mans fall can be gained
from the fact that the wheelbarrow
of mortar fell with sufficient force to
crash through the wooden platform
located at the bottom of the shaft.
The accident occurred when a
number of workmen were near the
elevator. Quite a force were wheel
ing the mortar from the mixing ma
chine to the west hoist where it was
boosted to the third floor.
The Vroom accident was the sec
ond occurring during the day. An
other workman whose name could
not be learned suffered a badly
sprained back earlier in the day. He
was helping lift heavy concrete
form when his companions dropped
their part of the load, allowing the
full weight to fall upon the one work
man.
! The funeral services will be held
at the Cheesman Funeral Home We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock. In
terment in Forest cemetery.

Carrlere fled into g. cornfield, carrying a rife, and was closely pursued by the sheriff and his deputy. In running fight the deputy and two guides were wounded and the sheriff was shot through the heart. Carriere escaped unwounded.

 Professor Andreade, referring to the Balkan map, showed how the re- adjustment of Balkan boundaries, based on nationalities, would inter- pose two barriers to Germanic ex- pansion, toward Asia Minor and the Orient, one the Greek zone across Thrace, and another the Serb-Ru- manian link of territory which lies as dam between Hungary and Bull garia. This -Rumanian link is only fifty miles across, but with Ru- mania getting the Banat region, to which Professor Andreade says she is entitled by the principle of nation- ality, this entente link will be 150 miles across.
 And thus entente Europe can ac- complish what it chiefly seeks in the Balkans" said Professor Andreade, Friendly entente zones intercepting the natural route of Germanic expan- sion toward the Orient, and this can

I'D DRIVE TURKS
 FROM EUROPE
That Is the Intention, and Is One
 Of Peace Terms

Correspondence of the Asso. Press) Athens, Sept. 4.-If the Turk is to leave Europe, the entente allies nave required in their war terms then there is we'll defined belief in lne Balkans that two results will oc- cnr of high importance to Greece and sall Europe:
 S First,--That the Greek inevitably will succeed the Turk throughout SIhrace and in the whole region down to the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus. sf @Second,-That a new zone of terri rory friendly to the entente will thus pc stretched horizontally straight across the Balkans as a barrier to the German dream of making the Balkans a German highroad to the Orient.
 Professor Andreade of the Univer- sity of Athens, one of the foremost authorities on international affairs re- lating to the Balkans, holds this view. and in the course of talk to- day he explained how these two re- suits would naturally come about in the final peace adjustment, by eason of the principle of nationalities now accepted by the entente allies as a basis for territorial readjustment. Professor Andreade who is a spe- cialist on the extent of Greek citizen ship beyond the Greek frontiers---ijl Macedonia and the other Balkans. in Turkey, Syria and Asia Minor pointed out the great predon,inance of the Greeks in the regions to be evacuated by the Turks if they are to :. leave Europe.
 The whole vilayet, or province, of Adrianople, extending from the Bal kans down to Constantinople, he de- clared. is as much Greek it is Turk and with the Turks out it is prac- tically all Greek. Even Constanti- nople" he said lis a Greek city--the largest of Greek cities-with a popu- lation of 35O,OOO Greeks. That gives an idea of the extent of Greek citi- zenship in all this section down to tho Straits which will have to be consid- cred, on the basis of nationality and race, when the Turk leaves Europe.
 That is why I say,' added Prof Andreade, that if the Turk is to with draw. the principle of nationality which recognizes the racial condition of a community, will lead to the rec ognition of Greek paramount in fluence in that section. Thus far, the principle of nationality has been ig- nored and violated in all Balkan set dement's and force has prevailed.

 After killing the sheriff Carriere succeeded in remaining at liberty for a month, although pursued by posses through canebrakes and swamps and was captured only after he had been severely wounded. He was tried and found guilty of murder the following October. The state supreme court affirmed the verdict and Governor Pleasants set October 19 as the date for the execution.
 The case attracted widespread at tention throughout Louisiana and neighboring states because of the prominence of Sheriff Swords, one of the states leading democrats. and be- cause of Carriere's reputation as a bad man." The latter had served two terms in the penitentiary for stealing and for receiving stolen prop erty.
