Of INJURIES

The death last night in Emerg
ency Hospital, Of Mrs. Mary Hig.
gins, so years old, of Cherrydale,
Va, who was found unconscious on
the road at the foot of Cherrydale
Hill last Friday night. revealed a
strange method Of investigation by
the coroner Of the neighboring
county.
DIR. B. H: Swain, the coroner, had
not been advised of her death until
called today by representative of
The Washington Times.
Despite the fact that she had been
in the hospital for more than three
days with a fractured skull and that
her condition has been known to be
grave, the coroner had never heard
of the case.
When asked what action he would
take, he said that, aince the woman
had died in Washington he would
have nothing TO do with the case.
He was then reminded that she
had suffered injuries in Arlington
county. To this he replied: II have
nothing to do with that. unless I am
specifically advised by the Common.
wealth Attorney that it was a case
of murder
Commonwealth Attorney william
C. Cloth, when advised OF the af.
fari, also said he had not heard Of
her death but would inquire into
the case. He did not agree with DR..
Swain that the case did not come
under the office OF the coroner.
Mrs. Higgins was found lying in
the road by two young men who
placed her in their car and took
her to the hospital. 1t was learned
that she was a recluse, having no
friends to interest themselves in
her plight.

La Toilette Hits "Third-Term'
Idea.

President Coolidge gives every indica.
tion Of being an active and aggressive
candidate for third term" declares an
editorial written by Senator La Toilette
Of Wisconsin. to appear in the July issue
Of La Follette's Magazine. Il adds that
thus far he has not made very auspicious
start.
There does not seem. at this writing, y
II says, ITO be any mad rush Of important
political leaders from the West to the
Black Hills"
Pointing out that the "unwritten law"
against third terms was established by
George Washington, the editorial continues
THE American people are not unaware
Of the enormous growth of the power Of
the Executive since Washington's time
They have not overlooked the tremendous
Federal patronage machine. carrying with
il control of Southern delegates when the
sitting President is Republican
The intelligent citizens of this country
know that once President has smashed
the third-term precedent there will be no
effective limit to the tenure OF a Chief
Executive, who has come to exercise kinely
power. which gives an unscrupulous man
an opportunity to perpetuate himself in
Office.
"The danger that President, when no
emergency exists. out OF mere greed for
Office. may attempt to grasp a longer term
in Office than Washington, Jefferson or Lin
coin enjoyed, is imminent, not academic"
Recounting a score Of issues which he
said the President would have to meet as
a candidate, La Toilette said that from
this early date it appears that the Presi-
dent will have to do more than wear 10
gallon hat. kiss babies and catch trout in
order to carry him to third term In the
White House.
