Policeman Was Murdered,
Coroner Believes

engine was warm when she
found it but that no one had
seen it driven up and that no
one saw Morrow get out.
In connection with an acci-
dent theory, Burke said they
were trying to find out if Nor
row received the injuries which
resulted in his death from the
accident.
Coroner Says Murder
Coroner j. Ramsay hewitt, who
arrived at 10:3O o'clock, examined
the body and had it taken to the
Morgue for an autopsy to ascer-
tain the cause of death.
He gave as his informal opinion
that it was murder.
The face was scratched, and one
eye was blackened as from blow.
A tiny cash at the top of the nose
may prove to be from small
calibre bullet.
Evidence that pointed most
clearly to murder, however, was
the fact that the man was lying
on his back, feet toward the
bridge abutment IS feet away,
with arms folded, and legs crossed
There were no broken bones.
The bottom of the underpass
where the body was found is
about so feet below the roadway
above, and the fall would be suffi-
cient to kill a man, it was pointed
out, but the coroner and fellow
officers secuted the suicide theory.
Quiet, Law-Abiding
The mans wrist watch was
running, and the coroner indi'
Gated he had been dead several
hours. The body was clad in a
soft blue shirt, gray trousers, no
hat nor necktie, and there was
no gun on the body. His wallet
had no money, but officers who
knew him said he seldom carried
money.
While police we're searching the
valley under the bridge for clues,
Mrs, Morrow, the widow, arrived
on the bridge above. She was
taken home when she became
hysterical.
Fellow officers could advance
no reason why Morrow should
have been murdered. His beat
extended from Fifteenth Street
to Connecticut Avenue Northwest,
between K and N Streets. They
said he did not drink, and they
knew of no rowdy companions
His wife was quizzed.
Morrow had been on the police
force for about seven years, and
Captain Beckett of No. pre-
cinct knew of nothing against
the mans record, nor why any
one should want to put him or
the spot"
Police are investigating reports
that an Oldsmobile car was seen
near the underpass late yester
day. A Marquette sedan is also
being traced.

WIDOW To PUSH.
KILLING QUIZ

Although a coroner's jury de
cided that Jeff Bowers, slain
store manager, died by his owr
hand" his widow, Mrs. Bonnie
Bowers, still believes her husband
was murdered.
Mrs, Bowers. who lives at 3619
Thirtyseccnd ST., Mt. Rainier
Md. declared when informed OF
the verdict:
"I'I try to accept the ver-
dict, but 1 never will believe
anything except that my hus-
band was murdered. 1 want to
find that cOlOred boy jeff,
caught trying to steal pair of
skates from the store Wednes-
day and who threatened to
bring his father back to make
trouble"
Bowers, manager of the Peoples

wounded in the store Thursday
morning. The bullet had been
fired from his own gun, ballist1cs

Inspector Frank Burke told
newspapermen shortly after noon
that they were checking on a
story that Morrow had been out
drinking last night and that he
had been in an automobile accl-
dent yesterday.
Burke said that when Morrow
did not report for duty at mid
night, the poIiceman'S home was
called and MOrrOw's wife went
out to look for the car. She
searched until 1 o'clock and re-
ported that the car was not near
the home.

V.uen he was notified that a

miles an hour, he said:
"That's speed. However,
we's got some new engines
coming up this fall that may
help us catch up with the for

The American speed record

Electrical Treatment of Soil of Little Value

There is a great difference of opin-
ion among agricultural scientists as
to the value of electricity in the culti-
walton of various food crops. Many
English authorities claim that grain
and some garden produce is quite ma
terially speeded up so far as. growth
is concerned and the quality improved,
by current Of electricity passing
between the ground and network of
wires suspended above the growing
crops. A Finland farmer reports an
increase of 80 per cent in the amount
of produce and grain grown in this
manner. The United States Agricul-
tural department has been experiment
ing with the subject for years and the
final conclusion is that no benefit or
at least very little has resulted from
the electrical treatment Of the Soil.
In fact 1t was noticed that slightly

CHAPTER v

For space Jeems could not move
as he gazed at the crimson sky. His
home was In flames. This alone would
not have deadened him with horror
His father was there to care for his
mother, new home could be built,
the world did not end because a house
burned. But there were two fires
and the other. farther on, rejecting
itself dimly and yet more somberly,
was the one that terrified him. 1t was
Hepsibah's fire talking to him through
the night!
Then the choking thing in him gave
way, and as the power to act returned,
he saw Odd facing the lighted heavens
and in every muscle and line of the
dogs rigid frame the Indian sign was
clearly written.
He set off at a run down hill, and as
he ran bushes whipped at his face and
shadows gathered under his feet and
long arms of gloom reached out from
among the trees to hold him back. He
could not come up with Odd. Like
two shadows in a playful night, one
closely pursuing the other, they ran
until Jeems' breath began to break

Grain Measurements

For many years grains were meas
ured in bushel containers, or peck
containers. However, in different
states the exact size of these con-
tainers varied, and they frequently
varied within the same state. Consa-
quently, the Department of Agricul-
ture found it necessary to set some
standard amount to the grain. In COM
piling standard measurement It was
found that some grains took up more
space than others. This necessitated
another form Of measurement In or
der to insure accuracy. The answer
to this was table of weights. Now
all states use tables giving the pounds
to the bushel of the various grains.

Twins in Class Mean
Trouble for Teacher

"Twins," complained the young
teacher; they're more trouble! It's
fun for them, but for US"
There were Evelyn and Elinor, for
instance. small twins, whose great
similarity was the despair of the
young kindergarten teacher. If only
their mother would dress them differ
emily or put some distinguishing mark
on them! Should she ask them in the
morning which was which and put
labels on them? Or what should she
do? They were adorable, blue-eyed,
fair children with soft, light hair. If
only the hair Of one were straight and
the other curly! But, no; even their
ringlets were exactly alike. What
should she do?
One morning they came to school
and, o. joy! One had a tooth out,
right in the middle of her upper jaw
The teacher ascertained that the lack
ing tooth was from Elinor's set of
pearls. Now her problem was solved
and when she looked at Elinor and
called her by name Elinor, and not
Evelyn, would answer. One less worry,
she rejoiced.
But the next morning when they
appeared each child was minus a
