DIES FROM EFFECT
Of WOOD ALCOHOL
Autopsy in Case of Kate
Johnson Reveals Poison.
Another to Be Probed.

Wood alcohol proved fatal to Kate
Johnson, colored, thirty-nine years old,
408 1st street southwest. who died at
Washington Asylum Hospital Tuesday
night.
1t was said at the hospital that the
patient was suffering from alcoholism
and she was treated for such an all
ment, but it was not until an autopsy
was performed at the morgue yesterday
afternoon that it was definitely de-
termined her death resulted from drink
ing wood alcohol. Coroner hewitt gave
a certificate accordingly.
Dies While Under Arrest.
Arrested and taken to the ninth pre-
cinct station to answer a charge of
operating a motor vehicle while under
the influence of liquor, Andrew Owens,
thirty-two years old, 1105 9Th street
northeast, became sick suddenly and
died.
Owens driver of truck of the
Union Transfer Company, was ar
rested at I'd and F streets about $50
o'clock because the truck struck and
demolished an electric light pole. He
was treated at Casualty Hospital be-
fore being taken to the police station.
Condition Thought Improved.
Two hours after his arrest his con-
dition seemed much improved. He
was able to converse with his wife,
the police stated, and it was while the
latter was arranging for his release
that he became unconscious and re-
turned to the hospital. where he died
shortly after midnight.
Police of the ninth precinct were
told that Owens had been imbibing
liquor the past few days. but there
was no suspicion that the beverage
contained wood alcohol. Coroner
hewitt made a preliminary investiga-
ton of the death. and concluded to
have an autopsy performed to deter
mine what caused it.

An inch and a half of water this
morning greeted those who jour

the damage wrought by the rain.
Worse news for skaters comes from
the weather bureau.
How long will the rain continue =?
Oh. about two or three days, proba-

There's one big chance. If the
weather, which is above freezing to-
day. will take a drop while the water
is still covering the present layer OF
ice, the best skating of the season Is

about delegates and convention rules

terrible faults of the other party.
Candidates have their boosters on the
job quietly sounding out sentiment
and eXtolling the virtues of the aspi-

But underneath it all. when you get
them away from the formal stuff. the

mite ideas of what is going to happen
in the coming campaign. Far from
being as comfortable as the republi-
cans were in their calculation that
any republican could win this time.

it will take ''some candidate"-not
just any candidate-to win on the
democratic ticket.

by their local banks. Special m
terests were clamoring for even
more mower than that long ex-
ercised by them. These and other
Ills had existed for sixteen years
under republican rule, without any
relief. ,.. A..
TO remedy these conditions, the
democratic administration supported
by a democratic Congress, called IN

peace-time progress of remedial
legislation, and our people rose in
their might, under the leadership
of Woodrow Wilson, to the defense
of our rights and to save democ-
racy for the world.
The gallant fight made by our
soldiers at the front, backed by
every loyal American at home. won
victory for democracy and civili-
Zation that gained the admiration
of the civilized world, which
promptly turned to this country
to lead it to the path of universal
peace and good will. at the end of

treaty to this end was nego-
tlated and for seven months it has
been throttled by the misused re-
publican leadership of the Senate
that is so arrogant that it even
refuses to let the senators of it's
own party who desire to have the
treaty ratified with certain reSer-
vations that seem reasonable to
them to vote accordingly, and thus
to make at least a start toward
worldwide peace.
In the meantime. our own buSi-
ness conditions are unsettled,
definite proclamation of the end of
the war is delayed, we are still in a
state of war when the country is
clamoring for peace, the exchange
market of the world is falling to a
basis that threatens the paralysis
of our foreign trade. and the war
torn nations of the world. strug-
Cling under the fearful burden of
H.
faced with still greater adversities
gowing out of the uncertainty of
their pitiable situation. Had the
peace treaty been ratified with rea-
sonable promptness. as all of our
associates in the war were willing
to do. the world, once again at
peace. would now be engaged in
the fruitful work of reconstruction,
in which the vast resources of our
country would have been called for
to an extent that would have
brought untold benefit to every
section of the country, and that
would have put our flag, carrying
our commerce, in the ports OF every
country of the world.
Asks for Prompt Action.
We join the demand of the pull
pits of this country, and of its
agricultural interests. of labor and
OF Jne great business, inuuStTldl
and commercial organizations of
America, that the Senate quit
playing politics with this sacred
question and give to the world the
word that America is ready to at
least make a trial for universal
peace.
We repudiate the inferential
suggestion that, having Joined our
associates in war that are now
leading them to chaos, we are to
withdraw and leave them to a
merciless fate in order that we
might maintain so-called tradi-
tional state of 'isolation" that we
surrendered when we went to the
defense of our rights. and to the
aid of struggling humanity. If
this is to be our attitude, then the
$4,000 Americans who now sleep in
France gave up their lives in vain,
and the 100000 more who will
ingly offered their lives for the
cause that called us there, have a
right to ask for what they were
summoned to the colors.
