A message of coincidence for the
Parents Of Floyd Collins, who has
lain for more than a hundred
hours imprisoned in a Kentucky
cave, was sent today by the
parents of Maynard Easton, twenty
three.year-old youth who lived at
Savage, Nd, and who lost his life
In a similar accident on February
25, 1923.
Young EastoI's accidental death,
while similar in most respects,
differed in that the cave-in which
resulted in his death was in sand
and for twenty-siX hours neighbors,
relatives, and officials fought to
prevent his suffocation.
After having been buried alive
for slightly more than day.
young Easton was extracted from
the well where the cave-in oc-
Cured, only to die ten hours later
from pneumonia contracted while

had been engaged to deepen.
The parents of Easton telegraphed

sympathy and bereavement. They
did not divulge, however, the motive
that possibly prompted their solicit,

The accident which resulted in

General Mitchell May
Run for Congress When
Retired, He Declares

when the right time comes,
may run for Congress, II I retire
from the army said Brigadier
General william Mitchell today
answering inquiries about his plans
in the stormy controversy ovel
the future of aviation in the army,
Its too early to talk about my
retirement from the army he
said. However, there are certain
eventualities which might drive ms
into politics"
General mitchell mentioned tn
fact that both his father and
grandfather were members of Con
gress from the Fifth Wisconsi1
district. but said he had never
thought of following in their foot
sips until recently.
1t is understood that the move
ment to put General Mitchell ii

the assumption that the general. II
he is beaten in his present fight
will resign from the army AMI
carry the controversy into Congress
General Mitchell Is represented
as believing that, il elected, he
would be made a mmeber OF the
House Military Affairs Committee
and would be a considerable infiu'
ence in shaping military policies
General Mitchell has maintained
that wars in the future will be
fought in the air and that no bat
tleship is immune to air attack.
He has intimated that important

PARIS M0RGUE

Gray Walls, Associated With

PARIS. Feb. 5. The old Paris
rnorgue is no more than a memory.
Visitors to Notre Dame, who al
ways looked around for the gray
walls associated with crime and
despair, will be surprised in. the
future to see pretty patch Of
garden instead,
Evergreens have taken the place
of the moldy masses Of moss which
decorated the gloomy sides OF the
building that harbored the unfortu-
mates of the great capital; and
along the embankments now trail
fresh ivy vines.
Until the year 1864. when the
morgue was brought to this little
SPOT, 1t was the fayorite haunt OF
seeking quiet and contemplation.
During the Middle Ages it was
called La Motto aux Papelards,
or 'HThe Priests Knolr-priests
having formed the habit Of walk
ing there after vespers, watching
the fast.flowing waters of the
Seine behind Notre Dame. Certain

found, for the cathedral, silhouetted
against q setting sun or full
moon, is about the finest sight
Paris has to offer
Now a new name must be found
for the little square. The old name
is interesting, but certain good
people object to 'papelard," as the
slang word for priest. Perhaps
they viii come to Shakespeare's
conclusion and decide that the
square can be just as nice with
any other name-or even without
any name at, all.

Assistant District Attorney David

case in which the Judge had re-

although he was warm personal
friend Of the judge for over four
teen years. 1t was brought out
that Judge Mcmahon holds to an
inViolate rule never to talk TO any
one about a case before 1t is tried.
He admitted, however, that after
a conviction he would take into con-

tention by any reputable citizen.
Denies Religious Prejudice.
Judge Mcmahon vigorously de-
MED the intimation made by Clar-
ence True Wilson that he had
prejudices against certain people on
account Of his religion. The judge
told the subcommittee that he was
a Catholic but that he was for a

Swallowed, Sears Says.
Charges that secret agents of
the Department Of Justice have
been shadowing himself and other
members Of CongT ess opposing the
elevation or Attorney General Stone
to the Supreme Court were made
today by Congressman Willis &.
Sears tRl of Nebraska.
Sears made his charges in :
letter to Senator Norris tR) OF
Nebraska, and asked Norris to
place them before the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee.
Sears said. he discovered two
men outside the door of his office.
but that they refused to admit any
connection with the Department OF
Justice.
Judge Feared Prejudice.
Walsh cited as an example the
case Of an editor Of an Indianapolis
newspaper. The editor was in
dicted in the District of Columbia
on charges Of printing an article
libeIing President Roosevelt in con-
nection with the Panama canal
negotiations.
1.-THE editor was arrested in
Indiana" Walsh explained. Be
fore he could be transferred to the
District an order had TO be secured
from the Federal judge In Indiana.
1.-THE other was resisted by Judge
A. B. anderson, whom we have
lately elevated to the circuit court,
on the grounds the crime was COM
mitted in Indiana and, therefore,
the venue must be laid In that
State"
In his opinion. Walsh said, An,
derson advanced the contention
that Jurors selected in Washington
in a. case involving the Govern.
ment might be expected to be
prejudiced in favor Of thee Govern
ment.
Points to High Cost
"If Senator Wheeler and wit.
nesses from my State are brought
here they would be required to pay
all their expenses or go into court
and plead that they were unable to
pay them" declared Walsh.
Walsh said such action would
contravene all Americas Wanted
