DISCOVERY OF POISON
CLEARS TINSLEY CASE
Detective Reports on Find at Home
of Man Who Died From Eff
fects of Liquid.

Following the supplemental report
to Coroner J. Ramsay hewitt and
coroner's jury at the mogue yester-
day in which it was stated by Detec-
tive Dennis Murphy of police head
quarters that he had found a bottle
of poison at the residence OF Roger
w Tfnsley who died Thursday night
from poisining, announcement was
made officially that the case was
cleared. and the verdict of the cor
oner's Jury at the inquest Friday,
which stated that the poison was OBJ
tanned from source or sources un-
known" would stand as final disposi-
ton.
Murphy's report was made merely
to satisfy Coroner hewitt and the jury
that the proceedings already taken
were in complete accord with the
facts. The verdict of the jury was
rendered on the strength of Deputy
Coroner Herbert E. Martyrs report
of an autopsy, wherein he ascribed
the cause of death, but chemical
analysis was needed to determine the
quantity of poison. Analysis by DIR.
T. M. Price, District chemist, COM
pletely confirmed DIR. Martyrs report,
DR. Price finding a large quantity in
the stomach, and the amount found.
1t was said, corresponded with the
amount used from the bottle discov-
cred by Murphy.
No poison was found in liquor
which had been imbibed by Tinsley
preceding his death.

MODIFIED TRAFFIC
b|LLPASSAGE SEEN
Amendments Offered Make
Measure Less Drastic
in Penalties.

Passage of a modified traffic bill
for the District is expected in the
Senate in the next few days despite
the "flasco" Friday night when the
measure was brought up but was delay
ed by objections on the floor.
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee and
Senator Stanley of kentucky, both OF
whom objected to certain provisions
of the joint committee traffic bill,
yesterday introduced amendments to
the measure which they believe Will
modify 1t sufficiently to assure quick
passage.
Amendments Sweeping.
The McKellar amendments reduce
the number of new policemen to 1o0
instead of 800, cut out the annual
charge for operators permits, change
the reckless driving clause so that
the burden of proof rests on the State
instead of the motorist, increase the
speed limit from 25 to 80 miles an
hour, provide for an appeal from
revocation of permit by the direc-
tor of traffic, cut down the penalties
the director may prescribe from one
year to 10 days, create a differ
ence in penalty between those who
fee after injuring an individual and
those who fee after damaging prop
erty and change from Is to Is the
age required to obtain an OPERATOR s
permit.
Senator Stanley's amendment cuts
out an entire section of the original
bill dealing with leaving the scene
of an accident without making
identity known and intoxicated
drivers, and substitutes a less drastic
provision. He believes that in case
of a minor accident, where both
parties are agreeable, there should
be no necessity of a police report.
$1,000 Fine Provided.
His amendment provides that any
person who knowingly strikes a
vehicle or individual must, on request,
give his name and address; that in
minor accidents, If both parties con-
sent, no report need be made, but
that If person is operating an auto
mobile with negligence and strikes
a vehicle or individual he is COM
PEELED to give his name and address

After week of hearing charges
and denials by representatives of the
Army and Navy, their two air serv-
ices and civilians. on matters pertaine
ing to the efficiency of airplanes. the
House aircraft investigation commit
tee appears to have obtained unani-
nous opinion on only one subject
that anti-aircraft guns are not an
effective means of defense against
airplane attacks, whereas other air
craft are. The committee begins the
week with several new important
, subjects before it, having yesterday
disposed of the last of the allega-
! tions, when it received testimony
under oath from Rear Admiral Shoe
maker, chief of navigation, denying
he censored a statement prepared for
the press on the ground that its re-
lease in the original form would ruin
the Navy"
The latest Information commanding
the attention of the committee. which
has resulted in a decision to request
permission to report next December
instead OF this session Of Congress- is
that the United States no longer is
safe from an aerial attack, owing to
tain foreign nations whereby air
planes in flight can be refueled from
surface craft also in motion. This is
said to have increased the range of
aircraft to an unlimited distance

mercial aviation projects.
several days ago while testifying In

aircraft, Col. Hartney told the COM
mittee IN a vague way of the perfec-
.ion OF new development in aviation
py an American, who received, he
saio. little or no encouragement from
the Navy Department. At the time,
Col. Hartney said he would prefer to
reveal his knowledge of the subject to

PURE BRED SEED AS
IMPORTANT AS PURE
BRED LIVE STOCK

Tests conducted by the State College
of Agriculture with cotton varieties
have shown that pure and selected cot
ton seed produce $40 to $40 worth
more of seed and lint per acre than
the common gin run seed of what was
originally the same variety. The con-
ditions under which the tests have
been carried out were identical, with
the exception that one variety was
pure selected seed and the other was
from the common gin run.
Differences in the returns from such
paintings have been in some cases as
much as SIS per acre, which is attrib-
uted entirely to the quality of the seed
used The only expenditure necessary
to have obtained the increased return
would have been about 81 per acre
for the difference in the cost of the
seed. it is said,
Further tests have shown that some
varieties are adapted to certain soils
and climatic conditions while. Others
are not. For instance, the average
yields of College No. and strain
of Cleveland during the past four years
