New York, Dec. L. Sss4~..
Cornelius Warwick, AZ, while trying
to do favor for female tenant at
ZIG West 149th street, lost his balance
on Friday, November Is, and fell from
a 6-story window to his death in the
rear court yard below.
Mr.. Warwick, who conducted fur
nished apartment rental business and
who resided at 258 West 1877 street,
was at the 149 street address, when he
was accosted by one of the tenants
of the building whom he knew. The
woman told him she had left her keys
locked in her apartment and asked if
he wouldn't climb up the fire escape,
enter the apartment by an adjoining
window and get the keys for her. He
readily obliged and it was while try
ing to step from the fire escape to the
window sill that he lost his balance
and fell the six floors to the cement
court, being instantly killed.

RETIRED ARMY MEN
IN CIVIL POSTS HIT.
Trinidad Citizens Oppose Ap-
pointnent of Former Officer
to Proposed Job.

Vigorous denunciation of the retired
Army officer as a public official char
acterized objections raised by the Trini-
dad Citizens Association last night to
the projected creation of new $4,000
administrative position in the District
government and the possibility that an
Army man might be named to the
position.
The Army man was charged with lack
Of understanding Of civilian engineering
and architectural problems, as well as
total disregard of civilian business ira
ditions and customs, by those who OBJ
jected to the plan.
Striking at the Mapes tax bills as
being unfair in apportioning taxation
in the District, the association added
its weight to that Of the large group Of
similar organizations that have declared
themselves opposed to the tax meas
ures. The Mapes report is now before
the Senate, and public hearings have
been requested prior to its being voted
upon.
With the suggestion that Fifteenth
and H streets northeast is now prob
ably the center of population in the
northeast section, the association will
request that a new postal substation
be opened in that vicinity. The pres
ent Substation at Seventh street and
Maryland avenue northeast is said to
be inadequate,
The association adopted a resolu-
ton indorsing a bill now pending for
the purchase of Mount Vernon. home
of George Washington, by the Federal
Government. 1t also authorized a let
ter to the House Appropriations Com
lnittee, protesting against a threatened
cut in the pay of Federal employees.

A neighbor of the grocer's, Ellis

we're pursued. the robbers increased
their speed and failed to make curve.
AS they leaped from the wrecked au-

Shortly later a filling station at 25

RAIL BRIDGE ACROSS
RIO GRANDE Is BURNED
Sante Fe's Mexico-U. S. Span Is
Virtually Razed by Fire,
Believed Incendiary.
By the Associated PCS.

BY the Associated Press.
Preside, Tex, January 26.-Fire
virtually destroyed the Santa Fe Rail
roads international bridge over the
Rio Grande River here Sunday Au-
thorities on both sides of the river be-
1ieved the blaze was of incendiary
origin.
Twelve bents of the bridge on the
Mexican side and 20 on the American
side were burned. The eight untouched
were near the center of the structure.
The span was built in 1880 at cost
of approximately s250,000 1t closed
the gap between the Santa Fe lines in
Mexico and Texas. Most Preside citi-
zens turned out to fight the flames, but
efforts were hindered by poor facilities.
1t has been computed by geographers
that If the sea were emptied of its
waters and all the rivers of the earth
were to pour their present floods into
the vacant space, allowing nothing for
evaporation, 10000 years would be re-
quired TO bring the water Of the ocean
up to its present level.

CLASH REPORTED AT GREAT WALL.
japanese Report Armored Train Fired
on by Chang's Garrison. ~

TOXIC, December 8 GP.-A Rengo
(Japanese) News Agency dispatch to-
day said that Japanese and Chinese
troops had clashed in the vicinity Of
Shanhaikwan. Although the bulletin
was vague, the Chinese troops were be-
lieved to be those Of Chang Hsiao-
Liang. Shanhaikwan is in Manchuria
at the beginning of the Great Wall.
The Japanese assert that Chang
Hsiao-Liangs regular Shanhaikwan gar
rison fired on japanese armored train
and that when the fire was returned
the Chinese retreated.
Chinese reports at Tientsin said the
Japanese, having wiped out the revolt
in Manchuria, planned to extend their
activities into the disputed Jehol prov
ince.
Mukden reports said Japanese inflicted
heavy casualties on Chinese at Shan
haikwan and Suichung.
The Japanese armored train was re-
ported to have steamed into the station
at Shanhaikwan this morning, ignored
1ignals and, proceeding into Jehol as
far as Shi-ho, between Shanhaikwan
and Chinwangtao, fired on and damaged
water tower.
kwan was reported to have taken up the
matter with japanese military authort-
ties
Chinese authorities at Tientsin, about
$50 miles southwest of Shanhaikwan,
have been warned to expect serious
trouble.
