WOMAN, 81, LEAPS
3FL00RS TO DEATH
Inability to Find Job Blamed
for Act as Coroner Gives
Suicide Verdict.

Plunging head first from a third
floor window Of a room!ng house al
1917 Columbia road early this morn
ing, Mrs. Frances Wood Pogue, about
IS years old. was killed. Her body was
found by A. D. Fitzgerald, who occu-
pied a room on the first floor beneath
her, at 7:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Pogue had lived at the rooming
house, which is owned by Miss jose
phine Hunt, for only a month and lit
tie is known by them of her private life
The police are attempting to find her
relatives. Lack of money and inability
to find job are attributed by fellow
roomers as the cause of her act.
In her fall, Mrs. Pogue snapped an
electric light wire and plunged the
building into darkness. She fell on a
concrete sidewalk at the rear of the
house. DIR. J. Ramsay hewitt, District
coroner, issued certificate of death by
suicide. The woman's skull was frac-
tured in two places and her neck was
broken.
For the past few days Mrs. Pogue had
kept to herself, leaving her room only
once or twice during that time. She
locked herself in last night and was
heard pacing back and forth during the
greater part of the night. She left
no message in her room to explain her
act. Examination Of her effects revealed
a list of places where she had applied
for work recently.

Ware RESOLUTION
LIKELY TO CO OVER
Norris informs Senate He
VIII! Not Press Fight on
Pennsylvania.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska
informed the Senate today he would not
press his resolution to deny Senator
elect Ware Of Pennsylvania his seat at
this session, because of the latter's
present illness.
The decision of Senator Norris was
regarded as definitely deferring dispo-
sition at this session Of the case against
Ware.
Senator Reed. Democrat, Missouri,
chairman Of the special committee
which recommended against the seating
of Ware, told the Senate yesterday he
did not desire to press for action against
Ware at this time, as he is unable to
take advantage of the Senate's previous
offer to appear and defend himself.
Votes to Continue Committee.
The Senate, on motion of Senator
Norris voted, however, to continue In
definitely the special committee which
inquired into Wares 1926 campaign.
Norris declared that the Senate had
extended every courtesy that it posi-
bly, could" but that 1.-The fact remains
that Mr.. Ware is a very sick man."
II am mindful of the fact" he said
"tha. at the next session OF the Senate
those who favor the seating Of Mr..
Ware will be larger in number than they
are now, but under the circumstances
I do not want to crowd the case 10 a
conclusion"
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania. who said that Senator Norris at
titude was fairly fair" joined with him
In asking for immediate adoption OF
the resolution.
Two Directors Heard.
The only DIRECTORS were Senator
Blease. Democrat, South Carolina, and
Senator Hefiin, Democrat, Alabama.
Blease declared that there had been
"a lot of talk recently about constltu-
tional rights" and asked, What Is a
greater violation Of the Constitution
then to deprive Pennsylvania OF her
right to a seat in the Senator?
Il don't think this matter ought to
go over" he said. EITHER we ought to
let Mr.. Ware have his seat. or we ought
to notify Pennsylvania that We will not
scat him" he said.
II feel aout 1t as Senator Blease
does" Senator Reed said, but think
it unlikely that those rights will be
accorded by opposing this resolution"
Hefiin declared that 1.-The sooner the
Senate acts the better 1t will be for 1t
and the country"
MIR. Ware either acquired his seat
corruptly or he didn't" he said, and
the matter ought to be decided. We
all sympathize with Mr.. Ware In his
illness, but seats in this body are not
for sale and whoever buys a seat ought
10 be expelled and sent home"

Mexico City for the conclusion of his
visit
Col Lindbergh and his fiancee went
motoring yesterday In the mountains
surrounding the city. He was at the
wheel. Later they returned and after
stay at the Morrow home promenaded
with the townspeople about its cobbled
streets and around the plaza.
In these promenades two lines of
men form and stroll in one direction
about the plaza. A third line between
them contains the young women of the
town and engaged couples. The avia-

line moving always counter to those of
the men only.
Program for Stay Is Same.
The program for the remainder OF
the stay Of Lindbergh and his fiancee
here today apparently contained nothing
more than that of their first day.
The Morrow home here itself pro-
vided an suspicious setting for their
love-making and planning for the
future. In its exterior 1t looks like any
other Spanish-MeXican homes-high
walls in front, balconied window or
two. and a huge iron gate for an en-
trance.
Inside, however, flower studded patio
Is a bower Of beauty. Crimson poin-
settias. bougainvilleas, snow-white
camelias and gardenias and brick-red
mimosas are profuse. A cockatoo
gorgeously feathered, has his home on
the porch which runs completely around
the patio and onto which the various
rooms open.
From the roof Of the home can be
seen, on clear days, the volcanoes
Popocatepetl and Ixtaxihuatl. Nearby
