ATHLETIC HEART FACTOR IN
 DROWNING OF ". 4. CALDWELL

Ticonderoga. N Y. July 23.-Acci- dental drowning. with an atEetic heart as a contributory factor caused the death of William A. Caldwell, general early service editor in the New York Of fee of The Associated Press. who was the victim of a canoe accident on Lake George near here yesterday. While no autopsy was performed. Doctors Sargent and Cummings of this village and Cor oner- John Breen decided that some heart attack or fainting spell undoubtedly pre- vented MT. Caldwell. who was formerly a celebrated college athlete and a power fui swimmec, from swing himself when his canoe overturned. His four years of athletic activity as oarsman and football player at Cornell university, according to the physicians. probably caused an af- lection of the heart which relaxation of training and lack of his former custom ary exercise aggravated.
 Mir. Caldwell was last seen alive al 10.45 a. m. yesterday. Fifteen minutes later his overturned canoe was noticed not far from where he was last observed Search disclosed his body at the bottom of the lake in about tweI7e feet or water and about 100 feet from shore Effort; ! to resuscitate him were unavailing-
 His body was taken tonight to his home at Hasbrouck Heights. \. J. where funeral services will be held at p. m. Monday.

by A. M. Cg.c, president of the Ma tional Coal Association. The president announced the consideration of such a commission last week. ~ fS
 Such a tribunal If appointed :nane- diately, could develop within compaTa- lively short time such facts regarding the coal industry, says the telegram, as would strengthen your hand in carry ing out your program to start the mines in accordance l,Sth your proclamation to the governors oi the several states in- volvd."
 MT. oglc, in the telegram also sug- gested the appointment of one miner and one operator as technical advisers. but neither to have a vote or voice in the deliberations of the tribunal.
 The telegram reads:
 Tn order that there may be no mis- understanding in the minds of the mem bers of your administration or in the minds of the public concerning the atti- tude of the operators who attended your Washington conference. toward the ap- pointment of a fact-hnding tribunal by you, I respectfully and strongly urge upon you the advisability of immediately selecting the men whom you desire to act 90 that the tribunal can proceed at once to investigate the questions at issue between the miners and operators in the union fields. As we have pointed out be- fore, we strongly feel that this tribunal should be non-partisan without eitheC miners or operators being included in it's membership.
 If it is felt a&=4sable by you to have technical advice fOr the benefit of the tribunal might suggest that one op- orator could he selected by the operators and one miner by the miners to sit with frih al tYR y1t1r adxrfe f4o pacity but without voice or vote. I feel and l know that a lacge majority, if not all of the union bituminous operators feel that such tribunal selected by you if immediately appointed, could within a comparatively short time develop out. standing essential facts in regard to the situation With such facts before it, the tribunal would be able to give informa- tion to the public and to you that would strengthen your hand in carrying out your program to start the mines. in ac. cordance with youc proclamation to the governors of the several stae>s involved on a basis of wages which inevitably must mean liquidation of costs and prices to meet the demands and requirements of the public and industry
 'We also have in mind that thor ough investigation of all the facts relat. ing to the union bituminous coal heldl will be extremely helpful to the Ameri. can public and to the coal industry al we'll and should lead to some constructive suggestions.
 You may be assured that in thu meantime the operators of. Indiana ar, earnestly working with Governor Nc Cray and the local authoritie sto deter mine the best and most effective plal under which production of coal can b. l orators in all other states are workin, l to the same end All operators in al | districts union and non-union, unite il supporting you in your determination t | protect every man in his inaIienabl l right to work"

 I with the governor tomorrow" he said. T do not want to embarrass Henry. ] had not agreed to speak at Normal. and this idea of Henry and Me day prob ably was matched to make a newspaper story
 The yellow placard started a contro- versy between Mir White and Governor Allen. lifelong friends, over the inter- pretation of the industrial court act. Al the outset of the railroad strike. Gov ! ernor Allen issued an order declaring that posting signs expressing sympathy | for the strikers. was in violation of the aT.ti-picketing provisions of the law. The editor last week placed the sign in his window and published an editorial Tn his paper, saying that the governors | interpretation cs the law interfered with
 free speech and courting arrest for post
 ing the placard. Mir White has been
 an ardent supporter of the industrial
 court law.
