CABLE SNAPS APART

Kelso, Wash, Jan. 4.-Names of eight
missing persons while estimates of the
lost ran as high as 80, when rescue
parties resumed their search today OF the
Cowlitz river into which an old sus'
pension bridge, here bearing scores OF
men and women, collapsed at 5 O'Clock
last night.
From 80 to 100 pedestrians, one
truck and at least ten passenger auto
mobiles were on the bridge when it fell
The structure gave way in the midst
of traffic jam.
Most of the persons on the bridge
were thrown into the river and many
were picked up by boats or swan ashore
After darkness efforts TO recover bodies
were futile. though the river steamer,
Pomona, played a searchlight over the
scene. Up TO this morning no bodies
had been found.
Six Seriously Hurt.
OF those rescued two are believed
fatally injured Six others were taken
from the water seriously hurt.
The missing inslude Ben Barr. coun-
ty ommissioner-elect; Mr.. and Mrs.
A. G. Huntington, pioneer residents OF
Kelso. and several employees Of logging
camps
Early today there was rush OF rela.
lives seeking some word OF lost losed
ones and constantly growing list OF
missing persons.
The exact death toll may not be
known for several days as the Cowlitz
and the Columbia. into which it flows
about two miles below the ci:y, may
swirl the bodies of the victims many
miles.
The bridge connected east and west
Kelso. A cable support buckled and
the bridge threw trucks. automobiles
and their passengers into the torrent,
swollen by recent floods.
Five minutes before the accident.
scores of cars were backed up at either
approach, together with many pedes-
trians waiting to cross. This press OF
traffic had dwindled when the bridge
crashed.
Survivors Tell Of Crash.
Survivors told almost identical stories.
To swim ashore, encountered with heavy
clothing. was test TO be met only by
the strongest and most adept. Many
of the survivors were pulled from the
river three blocks below the wreckagc.
Exploration of the wreckage was be-
gun with daylight and an endeavor was
made to grapple for submerged automo-
biIes in which bodies might be held.
The estimated number rescued was
40. J. F. Hamilton. a construction
engineer a witness of the disaster COM
mented:
"Some will say that the height OF
the river, and the log jam that had ac-
cumulated against it, weakened the
structure and caused it to collapse. l
can not agree with this. for only few
days ago 1 inspected the piers and they
were not weakened. 1t was the cable
which broke, for some unknown reason.
possibly at the impact Of heavy
jar"
Scant as the warning was at the
swapping of, the cable. many pedestrians
on the bridge raced to safety. and IN
one or two instances automobiles were
hacked AWAY

PROMINENT MEN WILL
TAKE STAND TO AID
FORMER u. S. CONSUL
Randolph Robertson Is AL
lowed $4,000 Bond on
Embezzlement Charge.

Many prominent men of Mexico viii
go on the stand in defense Of Randolph
Robertson, former consul at Nueva La
redo. charged with embezzlement of
$4,000, if he is tried, and give testi-
mony tending to show that the funds
missing were not taken by Mr.. Robert
son but rather that the money was lost
through inefficient bookkeeping methods
while Mr.. Robertson was engaged in i'm
portant work in Mexico during the
World War. Mr.. Robertson, his friends
say. is not better off financially than
when he went into office.
Nalentin Rivero, prominent business
man of Mexico, now making his home
in San Antonio. said. Mr.. Robertson
service has always been considered as
the most efficient as any on the border.
We feel that when thS investigation is
completed he will be absolutely cleared
for today he is as poor a man as he
ever was. People who have received
favors from Randolph Robertson in the
last six or eight years can be counted
by the hundreds and they will all testify
TO his good character.
1T was his policy to seek out those
in trouble and give them aid aud he
never would take any money for his
services"
During the war, according to other
friends of Mr.. RobertSon's, he spent
money under instructions Of the govern
ment for work in Mexico and they be-
lieye that this is where the loss was sus-
tanned.
Robertson was arrested Tuesday at
Laredo on sdvices from San Antonio
which in turn had been sent from
Washington. The advice was that be IS
charged with embezzling funds OF the
government while consul at Nueva La
redo. At a hearing at Laredo WedueS-
day he was allowed bail in the sum OF
$4,000.

Third Degree Gone; Psychology Replaces It
BY ROY GIBBONS.

Chicago, Jan. 4-Chicago police are
substituting for the crude brutalities
of 1.-THE third degree" the new terrors of
psychology.
Through practical application of
psychological principles, particularly
through breaking down resistance of
the conscious mind and libersting the
unconscious mind, they are wringing
confessions from criminals.
The new system is having its most
spectacular test in the case of Albert
Foster, arrested on a charge of first
degree murder in connection with the
mysterious disappearance Of his former
fiancee, Mrs. Kate Mitchell Trostell.
Quizzed IS Hours.
For 9S hours-withOut sleep or let-up
Detective Chief Michael Hughes and
his assistants put Foster through the
psychological third degree.
There were no threats of physical
violence, no shouting and denunciation,
no shooting of firearms.
ave proceeded on the theory, ="
Hughes explained, "that in every hui
il you can free that spark, the flame
Of truth is bound TO leap outward"
At the end of 9S hours Of psyche
logical sweating. Hughes had obtained
from Foster statement Mrs. Trostell
and he had quarreled, she was taken
sick and she jumped into the drainage
canal.
Had it not been~for this statement,
the police would have had TO free
Foster, for the body of Mrs. Trostell
has not yet been found.
Now the inquisitioR is proceeding
with the purpose Of wringing from
Foster the truth about some stains
found on his coat and on the running
board of his automobile. These stains
were analysed by an official chemist,
who said they were human blood.
Fosters inquisitors first tried TO
build up before his minds eye the
image of the crime of which he was
suspected They held before him
time aftertime a picture of Mrs. Tros-
tell. Often as many as 80 men sur
rounded him and piled him with ques-
tons.
"Can't Stick to Lie
"All criminals lie." said Hughes.
"But rare is the man who tan stick
10 a lie. We find liar will tell a
different version of the same story TO
almos teveryone. So we lead a sus.
pect into telling lies, then we check

PRESIDENT REFUSES
TO RECEIVE MEMBERS
OF ANTI-DRY CLUB
Society Women indulge in
Kissing When Refusal

New YOrt. Jan. 4.--MemberS of the
Molly Pitcher Club, some of them
prominent society and club women, In
dulged in kissing yesterday when II
was announced Mt CLUB luncheon that
President Harding had declined to meet
delegation named TO lay before hini
the clubs arguments for repeal of the
prohibition amendment.
The storm burst when Ransom II.
Gillett. counsel for the New York di-
vision of the association opposed TO the
prohibition amendment, read excerpts
from a letter from the President giving
as grounds for his refusal to meet the
woman his belief that lit is futile
thing to expect the repeal of the amend
ment" and that such an interview could
only result in controversial publicity
and create suspicion that the federal
COVER is not in good faith endeav-
Oring to enforce the prohibition laws.
The club made public part of the
Presidents letter and gave out newly
adopted resolution, arguing against the
validity of his objections to the inter
view and renewing the request that the
delegation be received. The resolution
also reminded the President that he re-
Gently had received church delegation
ito discuss prohibition.
Mr.. Gillett speaking of the Presi-
dents refusal TO see the delegation, de-
clared that "when the chief executive
of this republic can not receive any
delegation to discuss any topic as pro-
vided for under the constitution, then
the republic is in danger. ~
He then quoted from the Presidents
letter:
Ordinarily / would receive any dele.

make it q rule 10 find time for any
audience with any delegation whose
members desire to present TO the Presi'

to receive delegation which aims TO

18th amendment.lbgis such futile thing
to expect the repeal of the amendment
that / doubt the wisdom of giving an
interview which can only result in con-
troversial publicity and create a suSpi-
cion that the federal government is not
in good faith, endeavoring to enforce
the prohibition laws"
Miss Elizabeth Marbury. club presi-
dent, and one of several anti-prohibition
speakers who addressed the gathering.
criticized federal agents and the police
for the manner in which they enforced
the prohibition enforcement law here on
