ONE KILLED, | HURT
IN DECKING CRASH
Supports Collapse During
Construction of Apart
ment Building.

Collapse of supports TO a 2O-foot
decking over which concrete was being
poured in constructing the first floor of
an apartment building, the Broadmoor,
being erected at the northeast corner of
Connecticut avenue and Porter street,
caused instant death to one colored Ia
borer and injuries to another about $3.50
o'clock this morning.
The dead man is believed to be H.
Roberts, age and address unknown, after
a check-up of employees on the concrete
job. Partly buried under mass OF
falling tiles and soft concrete, Roberts
back apparently was broken, his chest
and head crushed. william A. Young,
who was working beside him directly
beneath the decking, was struck by
tiles, but his only injuries are lacera-
tions about the face and head.
H. M. Bralove, builder and president
of the Broadmoor Corporation. under
which the apartment, huge structure,
is being erected, was one of the first
on the scene, his brother, William Bra
love. being foreman of the concrete
construction work.
Prop Knocked Aside.
According to a preliminary report
made by A. T. Rogers, one OF the Dis
trict building inspectors on the JOB,
prop under the decking had been
knocked aside, causing one end OF the
platform to collapse under the weight
of six inches of tile and concrete. So
far as could be learned, it was believed
the prop had been knocked out OF place
by a wheelbarrow as workmen were
passing in and out of the small in
closure inside the basement.
The collapse came with sufficient
warning for all the workmen under
meath to escape except Roberts and
Young. They were mixing concrete
and apparently did not heed the warn
ing in time.
A large crowd quickly gathered about
the scene as No. % engine and truck
company, located nearby. responded to
an alarm. The Rescue Squad also came
out, but Roberts apparently was dead
when pulled out of the debris. His
fellow workman was given first aid
treatment and later taken to Emergency
Hospital where he was treated for
IdCcIdblOIlS ny LII. L. 1SuthOoAA Va VIZ
staff. His condition is not serious.
Coroner hewitt was summoned and
after examining Roberts body 1t was
taken to the Morgue.
Coroner to Probe Tragedy.
Responsibility for the collapse of the
decking and Roberts death will be
decided by coroner'S jury at the in
quest which will be conducted tomorrow
morning at 80 o'clock.
Inspector Rogers arrived on the scene
shortly after the accident occurred His
last inspection of concrete work on
the first floor of the building was yes
terday, when he reported the snoring
at the particular point where the COL
lapse occurred as satisfactory.
Iron rods in addition to wooden
scaffolding, supported the platform over
which a layer of tiles had been placed
and concrete newly poured. Mr..
Rogers inspection apparently indicated
nothing wrong with the construction
work
s. B. Moses is the sub-contractor for
the concrete work.

Clark's Evolution
Statement Brings
Flood of Messages
Challenge of Plan Is to
Produce Missing Links,
Scientist Says.

A deluge of letters, kilograms and long
distance telephone calls today was
pouring into small laboratory on the
first floor of the National Museum,
where a wiry New Englander, approach
ing middle age, sat surrounding by mas
sive volumes and bottled specimens OF
weird creatures garnered from the sea
bottoms.
DIR. Austin H. Clark, whose formula
ton with scientific evidence OF a
revolutionary supplement to the theory
of evolution was announced exclusively
in The Star last Sunday, was swamped
with requests from all over the country
for further amplification.
The last issue of the Quarterly Re-
view of Biology, in which the new
theory was described at some length,
has a limited circulation in scientific
circles and already is practically un-
obtainable.
Fellow biologists, DR.. Clark said, thus
far have been silent. apparently walt
ing for a better opportunity to examine
the evidence. The majority of the let
ters were from persons upholding his
theory. Among them were several from
college professors more interested IN Cne
philosophical aspects of the subject
than in the purely biological. There
were many letters from clergymen well
coming the opportunity Of reconciling
the theory of evolution and the biblical
account of creation, which becomes more
possible with Clark's theory.
DR.. CIark's Statement.
'I have given the biologists something
definite to disprove," DR.. Clark said,
''and do not expect any Of them to
accept my theory without a full ex-
animation of all the evidence IN sup
port of it. Scientific thought always is
in danger of becoming crystalized. A
point is reached where such a premise
as the DarWinian theory Of evolution
is accepted without any further ques-
tioning when scientists no longer go
back to examine the fundamentals.
Twenty years ago John Flske SAID
that philoSophically there was something
seriously lacking in the theory OF evo-
luton, but he accepted it nevertheless
confident that the deficiency would be
supplied. The new theory supplies some
concrete evidence for what has been In
the world as q philosophical doctrine for
centuries. 1t is not generally known
that the great Swedish Zoologist Lin
naeus, long before either Darwin or La
Mark, had a theory of evolution which

BR00KHART is HOPEFUL
OF ACCEPTABLE PAY BILL

Senator Brookhart, Republican of Iowa,
and author of one of the bills to COR
rect the inequalities in government en-
ployes salaries, is hoped that it will
be possible to work out a consolidated
measure acceptable to both branches
of Congress.
The problem of correcting the welch
law was approached from different
angles by Senate and House leaders in
drafting the bill. The Senate commit
tee has already reported favorably the
Brookhart bill, which would give an
increase Of one additional salary step
within the grades to employees who were
moved up only one step under the
WEIGH law. This bill also made these
increases retroactive. The House COM
mittee has held hearings on the Lehl-
bach bill, but has not yet decided what
Its report will be.
