IN DEATH
BY AUTO

Pennington Satterthwaite, So, Of
short Hills, n. j., free under 81 900
bond in connection with the death
of a man believed TO be William
Higgins, today told The Washington
Times that he was mot at all con-
vinced'' his car had struck the man,
throwing him to the roadway and
killing him.
The accident occurred last night
close to the Waterloo Inn, near
Laurel, on the Washington. Balti-
more Boulevard, while Satterthwaite
and his mother, Mrs. Rosa Lee Sat
terthwaite, were on tIAir way to
this city to visit friends.
According to Satterthwaite, a car
with binding headlights swas ap.
preaching from Washington and he
was forced to slow down because
he could not see the road. A truck
was close behind him and it's head
lights were casting binding glares
on his windshield, he said when he
saw a man walking on the right
side of the road
The man held up his hand and
stepped from the road, the Jerseyite
declared. Just as that moment the
truck struck his car from behind and
Satterthwaite lost sight OF the man.
While he and the truck driver,
whose name he does not know,
were inspecting the two machines,
someone found Higgins body on the
side of the road and to the rear OF
the truck.
Satterthwaite then went to a
nearby garage and called the police
and for an ambulance. The man
was pronounced dead and the body
was taken to the undertaking estab.
lishment of Lloyd Kaiser ia Laurel.
He was believed identified through
a membership card of the Loyal
Order of Moose, Lodoge No. SO,
Norfolk, but efforts to learn his
address were futile.

FERRY SLIP AND COLEMAN
 DOCK SEATTLE AFIRE

Seattle, Sept. 9, (P).-.-A fire be- leved to have started from a cig- arrette, resulted in considerable damage to the Colman Dock and destroyed the Ferry Slip on the Seattle water front late yesterday.
 The ferries Seattle and Tacoma quickly backed out safely. The fire was very stubborn to handle because of the oiled blanks and tarred billings. The fremen were also hampered by dense clouds of smoke and were forced to work in shifts. remaining only few min- utes before giving away to fresh men.
 The ferry was built years ago at a cost of one hundred thousand dollars. The ferry Tacoma, de- parting for Tacoma, was rammed by the fireboat Alki, as the latter rushed to the burning dock at full speed. The Tacoma suffered a hole in her starboard side, but continued on to Ia 'oma.

 so. MILES OF WILDERNESS

 Four new names appeared on the maps made by the expedition in the region explored, and a topographic survey was made of the region for the first time of the area between Hernden Bay and King Cove.
 Names will be attached to four newly discovered volcanoes and Am erican geologists will be honored in their naming.
 The route of the expedition lay from Squaw Harbor on Unga Island to Canoe Bay. at the head of Pavlof Bay. then along the Pacilc shore westward to King Cove.
 The explorers found two thousand specimens of rocks, fossils and var jed plant life. and took numerous photographs showing volcanoes. ma tives, fisheries, landscapes and game life.
 Dr. Jagger summarized the sci entiffc results of his seasons work as bearing heavily upon: "the ex- tension westward of a lighting plant bearing the shades of the early ter ritorfal age of the great fee move ment and explosion which caused the ice tumble at the base of Pavlof mountain southward, and the pho tographing of Achillen Pinnaols, one of the most spectacular mountains in the world"
