SAYS DOWSEY WAS
THIRD PROBER SLAIN
Seattle Man Writes Two Other
Z Graft Investigators Met
- Similar Fate.
NATURAL CAUSE GIVEN
Relatives Criticise CorOner's
Report and Will Press
Inquiry.
NATURAL CAUSE GIVEN

Charges that two other Investigators
Of shipyard graft were murdered as
Frederick A. Dowsey is believed to have
been are made in a letter received yes
terday by James L. Dorsey of Sc Broad
way.
The letter comes from a native of
Seattle, where Dowsey's death was de-
caused by apoplexy despite testimony
that his body bore marks Of violence.
The writer declared that in both Of
the other cases that he mentioned, the
investigators, like Dowsey, met death
under mysterious circumstances at a
time when they were about to spring
a trap that would cause the arrest Of
men high UP in shipping circles. In each
case, he wrote, the death was con-
veniently attributed to some natural
cause.
This information received by one of
the brothers of the deceased investigator
tallies in part with a statement from
another source made public few days
ago to the effect that "A shipping man
had publicly boasted before Dowsey's
death, 1--WE got the last one they sent
out, and we'll get this one, too"
James L. Downey said yesterday that
he was anxiously awaiting copy of the
stenographer's minutes OF the hearing
on the reopening OF the Coroner's inquest
into his brothers death few days ago.
He expressed his determination to sift
TO the bottom the statements said to
have been made by certain witnesses re-
garding blood stains on the walls of the
Mushroom where his brothers body
was found.
A number of witnesses are said to
have expressed the opinion Immediately
after the finding of the body that the
case was one of murder. They are
said, however. to have been prevented
by legal technicalities from giving their
views on the subject.
Relatives of Frederick A. Dowsey crit
icise sharply Coroner Tiffin's report on
the inquest in which he insists that the
death was caused by apoplexy yet says
that the wound on Dowsey's scalp was
in a suspicious place, and finally adds
that the apoplexy might possibly have
been caused by blow on the head. They
are continuing their own private inves-
ugation.

PROBE LAID TO MRS. WILSON.
X. of c. Man Says She Instigated
A. Il. r. Prison Inquiry.

John w. Kehoe. a superintendent OF
hospital work in Paris for the Knights
of Columbus, who returned yesterday.

He got the story in Base Hospital 81. in
Paris, he said. shortly after Mrs. Will
sons first visit there. A doughboy. see
ing her enter the ward, asked that she
stop at his bedside and when she did so
told her of treatment he had received in
La Roquette prison. He displayed welts
across his arms and back and was APP
parently in considerable pain.
THAT night" Kehoe said, Mrs. Will
son told the President, and the next
morning the Major and the whole guard
stan were brought up on charges and
removed. The commanding officer of
the American military prison in Paris
was succeeded by Major Herrick, who
has given the army prisoners the best
of treatment since February"

Great Faith in PRAYER.

Little Edward, like other small
boys, wanted a bicycle, and hav
ing great faith in the efficacy of
prayer, he had prayed the Lord
to send him one. His parents,
thinking him to young for a bicy-
Gle, bought him a tricycle., and
then waited with expectancy to
see what he would say when he
discovered that his prayer had
been answered. AS his eyes
lighted on it he threw up his
hands in disgust and cried:
''Oh, Lord, don't you know the
difference between a bicycle and
a tricycle?"

her upon the horse behind the

Big Harpe took it by the heels

a tree which stood beside the

other tradition. which relates
that it was Big Harpe's own
child, which he killed. by dash

because it annoyed him with It's

when the Harpes slew young

Fowls have the right of way in

indeed, since birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently
many towns along the Atlantic
coast have been visited with dead
bird showers. Aviators flying by
town would see a flock of wild
fowl coming their way. They
would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
