MAN SLAIN, THEN CAST
IN RIVER, INQUEST SHOWS

The unidentified man whose body
was found In the Potomac near the
railroad bridge June was the vic
tim OF murder, according to the be-
lief Of Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt.
At the inquest yesterday It was
shown that the lungs OF the dead
man had contained no water before
Death, supporting the theory that
death preceded the plunge into the
river. A fracture on the skull. and
a scalp wound further indicated
injury before the man was envelope 4
by the Potomac waters.
The coroner pointed out that the
clothes would undoubtedly have been
torn N the man had been struck by
a train and thrown into the river.
Inspector Grant still believes how
ever. that the man was struck on
the head while aboard a train, and
that the body rolled of as the train
passed over the bridge.
On the collar band OF the shirt
worn BY the dead man was the name
= G. Heys. or Heye. A handkerchief
bore the letter So and the numerals

Women Have Right to
Smoke Same as Men,
Says Chairman f0cht

Washington women have as much
right to smoke as have men. Con-
gressman Focht. chairman OF the
House District Committee, said today
when asked concerning the Johnson
bill to prohibit females from smoking
In public
while do not approve of women
smoking, I don't feel that Congress
should interfere with their rights in
this respect" said Focht.
Smoking Is a matter of taste II
the women like IL. let them do IT.
81 think that smoking for women Ia
morally degrading. I would not want
to see my mother smoking. However.
il is not up to Congress to control the
case of women"
The Anti-Smoking bill for women
was introduced in the House yester-
day by Congressman Johnson OF Miss
issippi. Mr.. johnson will deliver a
speech about IL in the House shortly.
My bill was introduced after / had
received numerous requests from
women" said Johnson. Women are
smoking promiscuously in hotels and
cafes around Washington. II should
be stopped before further progress Is
made"
Several women's associations In the
District are expected to indorse Mr..
Johnson's bill.

Tom came over from his home, $40

his party paraded the full length of
the Avenue. playing the organ and
singing, before they established them

strapping big delegate from the
First precinct stepped up and asked:
Have you got permission for this7'
Didn't know a man needed per-
mission to stage the end Of the
world" Tom came back. II thought
l could come over here from Bslti-
more and sing and play and preach
the gospel as free as a mockingbird
up on the limb of a high tree"
The copper suggested Tom might
get aboard some other street meeting
program and predict under another
speakers license. But when he tried
that he found the other speakers had
their own ideas, which they insisted
on spreading to the exclusion of the
end Of the world talk.
Hege then tried another copper and
was referred to Captain Fathers, who
maintains barred seclusion on
Twelfth street.
Cant do il without permission -
roared the captain, land there's no.
body here who can give you the o. X.

But it's all right IL Just show

Nope, you've already got three
points against you-parading. play
ing music, and advertising and
showing signs"
With that Tom doped Il that the
slight wind was an Ill one.
Then there's nothing to do but
get out of town quietly" ventured
Tom.
That's all you can do responded
the captain.

the scalp Of Congressman Paul b.

The aforesaid Congressman intro
duced a bill In the House yesterday
forbidding "any female person" 20

unlawful for a girl to smoke in
restaurants, cafeterias, theaters, eie-
vators, street cars. trains, depots.

where two or more people are
assembled.
1T is more important for members
Of Congress to introduce bills remov-
