Death AFTER

CONTINUED From First Pags.)
DR.. Collins, death was due to heart
trouble, thought to have been the
result Of shock from the accident.
The Adairs were on their way
home. after spending the day at their
cottage at Turkey Point, Nd. At a
point about seven miles below North
East, on the Turkey Point road. Mr..
Adair turned his Ford machine to
one side of the road 10 make room
for an approaching Cadillac. AL
though the latter was also turned
aside, II apparently was brought
toward the center Of the road again
before the machines had cleared, and
sideswiped the smaller car.
Mrs. Megill. who was accompanied
by her husband and a party from
the ButtonNood Hotel. Darcy. Pa,
brought the car to a halt. Learn
ing that the Ford was disabled by
the breaking of a piston rod. the
Megills agreed to pay for the dam
age. and took Alfred Adair to North
East to make arrangements at a
garage.
In the meantime, Mrs Adair, ap-
parently untroubled by the mishap.
walked up and down the road, and
twice went to a nearby spring for
water. Upon Adair's arrival at
North East. he learned his mother
was i'll. and was being brought there
in another automobile that had pass
ed the scene. When the aged
woman was examined by DR.. Collins
it was found that her heart had
almost ceased beating, and although
she was given a hypodermic injec-
ton she died within a few minutes.
Auto Party Released
Coroner Megraw and Sheriff Seth,
Of Cecil county. were notified. and
an inquest was arranged for i'm
mediately. Following the jury's
finding that the death was the re-
suit of an accident, although it did
not exonerate the automobilists. the
Megill party was released. It was
not believed last night that any
further action would be taken.
Mrs Adair had suffered a stroke
of heart trouble about six months
ago, from which she was thought
to have recovered. and was sup
posedly in good health yesterday.
She was the widow of Benjamin
Adair a Civil War veteran who died
several years ago. Alfred, and an
other son, Leslie. with whom she
lived, survive. She is survived also
by a brother. Alfred Hallman, of
Seventh and Ferris streets.

the Pennsylvania officials will be
quizzed on their refusal to obey the
boards collective bargaining orders.
Legislation designed to save the
existing law from complete demoli-
ton may grow out Of the hearings
before the committee.
Cummins also is preparing an
amendment to the law to limit the
Interstate Commerce Commissions
rate control to Interstate rates. The
4s states are parties to a suit now
pending before the Supreme Court
attacking the commissions authority
to control interstate rates. In the
event the Federal Commission is up
held the law will be amended to re-
store to the states their previous
powers over railroad rates, Cummins
said.
The law also Is under fire from
the agricultural bloc in Congress,
which will demand repeal OF the
guarante as a means of forcing
freight rate reductions. So long as
the guarantee remains, the bloc's
members contend, rates must remain
at their present high level.
Congress tied its own hands, so
far as dealing with the present at
tacks on the laws integrity is con-
cerned, Cummins said when it re-
fused to include the anti-strike pro-
vision and the penalties for violations
of the law by railroads.
Either the penalty clauses must
be included or the law must be re-
pealed," said Cummins. "The pres
ent anomaly cannot continue"
