NOTORIOUS BOSS
OF DANBURY FAME
is NOW BANKRUPT
Especial to The Daily worksr)


NEW YORK, Oct. 2S-The man who
played the part of a pioneer labor
union-smasher twenty years ago in
Danbury, Conn., when the striking hat
ters Of that city were forced to pay
him S240,OO0 as the result of one Of
the most notorious of all antilabor
court decisions, is now in his 18th
year, blind and all but broke.
Twenty years ago this man, Dietrich
E. Loewe, was hailed by the bosses
of the land as their champion He
practiced the worst kind of exploita-
ton and labor-baiting. Now the irony
of fate finds the old slave-driver, "a
years of age, a bankrupt with these
same bosses none too willing to give
him helping financial hand.
Workers Glad.
1t is needless to say that the hatters,
of Danbury are rejoiced. In 1905 the
matters had a union and were conduct
ing a successful strike for better con-
ditions and more wages. Loewe went

member. of it for $4,000 damages"
to his business because the men re-
fused to work He collected every
cent of IT, He attached the houses,
bank accounts and personal property
of the members of the union and,
without regard for their condition or
that of their wives and children, ex-
acted the full amount.
Supreme Court UphoIds Him.
The labor movement was aroused
and came to the support of the men.
The fight was carried to the supreme
court Of the United States and those
lackeys Of the bosses promptly sus-
tanned the decision of the lower courts
Now Loewe himself is at the mercy Of
creditors. This looks very much like
divine Justice" but it isn't. II was
simply a case of Loewe having the
support OF his fellow capitalists in his
war on the workers while he himself
was unable to survive the competitive
war between capitalists.

Y LOSE LIVES
in EXPLOSION
OF OIL TANKER
fBv DISPATCH A. D. Wire)


PORT ARTHUR, Texas, April Il
The death toll of Port Arthur's most
disastrous marine tragedy was in
creased to 27 tonight with the death of
julius Edwardson, of Norway, ship
carpenter, as a result of the explosion
of the oil tanker Gulf of Venezuela
here Sunday morning. Officials pre-
pared to make an investigation of the
cause of the blast.
Twelve of the dead were identified.
Eight men were in a hospital and
seven survivors were uninjured or
only slightly injured.
Two of the injured, Wipers, T. Fitz-
maurice and Bowen Harwell, had been
employed on the tanker Saturday. 1t
was their first day at work.
The engine room of the boat was
pumped free of water and explored
thoroughly today but no additional
bodies were found.
George N. Bliss, superintendent of
marine transportation for the COM
pany, made a preliminary investiga-
tion into the cause of the disaster, but
said he would not be able to make a
definite statement until he had inter-
viewed the engineer and mate, who
are seriously injured.
The Gulf of Venezuela came to port
here Friday at midnight and was pre-
paring to sail for England. The load
ing of the vessel had almost been
completed, and the engine crew was
busy firing UP preparatory for the
voyage when the explosion came.

MARINE BASE, SAN DIEGO, Calf,
April 12.-Working gradually up to
a climax through the hesitant testi-
mony of three preliminary witnesses,
the prosecution in the courtmartial
of Colonel Alexander S. Williams on
charge of drunkenness rested it's
case with a bang late today after
calling to the witness stand Briga-
dier General Smedley D. Butler, the
colonePs accuser, and letting him
tell it to the marines.
The general told in no uncertain
terms why he ordered Colonel Will,
liams' arrest for alleged intoxication
in the public rooms of a Coronado
hotel on the night of March 6, last,
shortly after a dinner at Colonel
Williams home in his, General But
ler's honor.
"I tried to see just as little as
could and get away with it," Phila-
delphias former director of public
safety explained after describing the
serving Of cocktails at the coloneTs
home, and the colonels behavior at
the hotel later.
Under cross examination the for
nner head of PhiIadelphia's police was
asked if Colonel Williams might not
have been i'll, rather than drunk.
"Yes, he might have been i'll; he
probably was. They usually get that
way when they're drunk
But defense counsel did not let
it go at that.
"Did you call a physician to de-
termine whether Colonel Williams
was sick or intoxicated?"
''No, / didn't" replied the witness.

Until the very hour of the roll call
the result was in doubt but 16 repub-
licans joined with 20 democrats in vot-
ing to unseat Brookhart, overwhelm-
ing the nine democrats, 81 republicans
and the one farmer-labor senator who
supported him.
Immediately after the result was
announced, Steck was escorted to the
rostrum by Senator Cummins, republic
can, Iowa, and sworn in by Vice Presi-
dent Dawes. Brookhart was not pres
ent, having been absent from the
chamber during the entire week of the
argumnt. The unseating of Senator
Brookhart injects new issue into
Iowa politics as he is expected to run
against Senator Cummins in the ap-
preaching primary. He plans to for
mally announce his candidacy tomor-
row. For this reason Senator Cum
Minis declined to vote on the contest.
An hour before the debate ended,
the galleries began to fill and mem
bers of the house and clerks crowded
onto the senate floor. Nearly all Nof
the senators were present during the
closing debate and the chamber was
filled with tensity as senators in last
minute appeals sought to swing
doubtful senators to their side.
Ashurst Draws Fire.
Senator Borah, republican Idaho,
ended the discussion by declaring there
was no evidence to warrant throwing
aside Senator Brookhart's certificate
of election white Senator Ashurst,
democrat, Arizona, drew fire when he
accused the senate elections committee
with failing to do it's duty in con-
Quoting the recount.
Senator CaraWay, democrat, Arkan-
sas, who drew up the committees
majority report favoring the seating
of Steck, replied that no senator could
Investigate the case and not decide
that Steck was elected. He was sup
ported by Senator George, democrat,
Georgia, another member of the com
mittee.
Although steck filed his contest i'm
mediately after the 1924 election, the
investigating committee did not sub
nit it's report to the senate until a
few weeks ago.
Brookhart, who's supported the La
Toilette Wheeler presidential ticket in
1924, has been serving as a senator
throughout the present session.
The roll call follows;
