Coroner =. Ramsay hewitt per
formed an autopsy on the body Of
the poisoned wife. at the Districa
Morgue today, but remained non
committal on the probabia cause
of the deaths.
Four Theories Advanced
He said that four theories had
originally presented themselves,
PtOnaine poisoning from the
Christmas Eve dinner:
Death by monoxide poisoning
from a range on the first floor
of the house;
Death by bootleg liquor. bot
tie OF which Is being analysed:
Death by poison Intentionally
administered.
1T Is entirely a matter Of
speculation, DIR. hewitt said today.
AN early examination caused us
to discount the theory Of death
by monoxide poisoning. I am GER
tain the poison was taken into the
stomach
He stated that the results Of the
autopsy will be compared with an
analysis of canned foods and re-
mains Of the Christmas Eve dinner
taken from the house. The inquest
will be held some day next week
the exact date has not been set.
Some hypodermic needles were
found in the house, and these also
were removed for examination, al
though DIR. hewitt attaches little
Importance to this angle.
Mrs. Boyer May Not Live
lit was stated at Emergency
Hospital that Mrs. Boyer may not
live through the day, due to her
weakened condition and the potency
of the poison.
It was hoped she might recover
sufficiently to tell what she knew,
but physicians were unable to elicit
any Ineligible information from
her. She has not been visited by
any relatives or friends.
Among the clues given DR..
hewitt during his Investigation of
the case was the information that
the family was accustomed to leav-
ing some OF the contents of canned
vegetables in the metal container
after opening, and saving it thus
Tor another meal. 1t is believed
that this practise often results in
contamination OF food.
Inasmuch as the little girl. who
was unaffected by the plague that
swept the household, was not given
any solid foods. the theory that the
poison was contained in the dinner
was given additional credence.

INSIJRI3ENT
BLIN'L AYS
ANS

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
While Congress enjoyed its
Christmas vacation, the legisla-
tive troubles of the Administers
ton began to pile up today with
the insurgent bloc of the Senate
announcing opposition to the
appointments Of Thomas F.
Woodlock, of New yorit anil
Richard v. Taylor, of Alabama, to
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The fight against confirmation
of Woodlock and Taylor, accord
ing to Senator Morris r., i
Nebraska, leader of the insur-
gents, will be based on the fact
that both men have represented
railroads. To put railroaders on
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, Norris declared, would be
to nullify the law which created
that body to regulate the rail-
roads.
South to Back Taylor
The battle. however, probably will
mark a new era in the internal
alignments of the Senate. Instead
of facing opposition from united
insurgent- Democratic coalition, as it
did throughout the Sixty-eighth
Congress. the Administration will
find many Democrats, especially
those from the South, supporting
Woodlock and Taylor because the
latter's appointment was the first
to recognize the claims of the South
for representation on the railroad
tribunal. With Southern Demo
Gratis aiding them, Republican
leaders expect to secure confirma-
ton of both appointments.
The program confronting Con-
gress when it returns January 4
has become top-heavy. The situa-
larry acute. because the World
Court. the foreign debt settlements
and the new tax bill will be thrown
into debate at the same time. Ad-
ministration leaders. aided by Demo
Gratis again. undoubtedly will con.
centrate their efforts on adopting
the World Court resolution before
January Is in the hope of clearing
the parliamentary decks for tax and
debt discussions during the latter
naf OF the month.
The House meanwhile will find
its Hands filled with appropriation
bills. The Treasury and Postoffice
appropriation bill, which will come
up agaiY. for consideration on Janu-
AIRY 4, involves prohibition enforce
ment. A dozen other appropriation
bills will follow it, while a large
portion of the Houses membership
will demand action upon n new
aviation bill, intended to carry out
the national defense recommends
tions OF Col. William Mitchell. The
appropriation bills will then go to
the Senate.
The Senate's troubles also include
settlement of three election disputes
and tho contest over seating Sen
ator-designate Gerald d. Nye R.)
of %Iorth Dakota. The Nye case
will be fought out on the floor,
while the Senate Elections Commit
tee will have to conclude hearings
on the Brookhart-St contest in
Iowa, the Schall-Johnson contest
IN Minnesota and the Bratton-Bur
sum contest in New Mexico.
