MARTINsBURG, w. Va, Sept.
1-Heroism of the father saved

blazing interior of the house,
Crabbe brought six of his eight
children, ranging in age from
2 to 18 years. who with Mrs.
Crabbe were trapped in their
bedrooms on an upper floor, to
safety. The other two made
their escape unassisted.

HIT BY TRAIN;
DEATH PUZZLE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. l.
The States Attorneys office to-
day began an investigation into
the death of Arthur Crawford. %,
Of Annapolis, after a coroner's
jury last night failed to assign a
cause. Cranford's body was run
over by Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis train near here
yesterday.
When the body was removed
from beneath the train, after
having been dragged more than
100 feet, there was no evidence
of bleeding, according to mem
bers Of the train crew, although
the body was badly mutilated.
It was this, according to Ken
ton Strange, foreman of the cor
oner's jury, which induced the
jurors to decide that Crawford
"came to his death by causes un-
known to the jury" and recon-
mend an investigation by the
State.

Fort Breaks With State
Ring Rulers; Both Sides
Claim No Cooperation

Asserting the state athletic COM
mission has failed to cooperate
with boxing officials at FIT. Ben
jamin Harrison, Captain j. R. Ken
nedy, army post matchmaker, an
nounced today he had notified the
state group all relations are off.
In other words FIT. Harrison has
pulled away from state connections
and hereafter will not pay the state
10 per cent tax on boxing shows
held on the military reservation.
Harrison will act Independently,
Kennedy said, in staging future ifs
tic shows, and the 10 cents and 20
cents extra on tickets will not be
charged, beginning next Tuesday.
The captain added, however. that
the fort will comply with other state
laws governing boxing and will give
ringSide decisions.
According to Kennedy the state
commission, in session late Wednes-
day, failed to recognize a contract
the fort has with Tracy Cox, local
junior lightweight, which contract,
according to Kennedy, reads that
Cox was to perform at Harrison
July %, Aug. 4 and 10 and twice in
September. The army matchmaker
said the contract was signed in
June.
The fort commission further stated that
although it has no definite facts upon
which to base its opinion. it feels as
though downtown influence has been
used to interfere with scheduled nain-go
scraps at Harrison"
Kennedy said by this. the fort COM
mission meant that it has scheduled WELL
known main-go fighters. only to have sew
eral of them fail to go through with bouts
Kennedy said the fort commission felt as
though the state commission should have
attempted to aid the fort in trying TO
learn what was causing the fighters to
run OUT thereby causing substitute
matches.
Because the fort arena is on gov
eminent property it is not subject
to state tax of 10 per cent, but
agreed originally to cooperate with
the state commission. Members of
the fort commission are Captain j.
