DEATH Of AUTHOR
HELD ACCIDENTAL
Final Certificate for Vance
Awaits Full Probe by
Police.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 18-Dr
Charles Norris, chief medical examiner
expressed the opinion today that the
death of Louis Joseph Vance, author
was accidental.
Vance's body was found Saturday or
the charred remains of a burned up
holstered chair.
A city toxicologist reported after ar
examination of Vance'S brain today that
the author was intoxicated at the time
of his death. DR.. Norris explained the
presence of a partially filled can OF
benzine,, saying the fluid had been used
by Vance to soften adhesive tape used
on an infected jaw.
The Office of the medical examiner
issued a qualified certificate of death
from burns OF undetermined origin, "
but final certificate awaits the result
of police inquiry.
The writer's death in his hc.cl apart
ment Saturday has been ascribed to
burns caused when a lighted cigarette
fell from his hand. probably as he
slept. A benZine can, almost empty,
Was found in his quarters, and this
was significant enough, the medical
examiner said, to warrant full police
investigation. The examiner. however,
expressed the opinion that be mine was
not involved in the fire, an6 probably
was kept for cleaning purposes. The
bottle was on a shelf, and there was no
evidence OF the inflammable LIQUID near
the chair in which the authors burned
body was found.
Full Probe Planned.
Two detectives have been assigned to
make a full investigation to eliminate
all suggestion that death may have been
from other than an accidental cause.
Vance once told friends that it was
his ambition to be SO rich that may
lie in bed and smoke forever" Beside
his armchair were found numerous
cigarette stubs. 1t was at first believed
by police that Vance had fallen asleep
with a lighted cigarette in his hand.
Vance. who was 81 years old was
a prolific and successful writer of mys-
terry novels and short stories
Members Of Vance's family and
friends. however, did not share the
police hints of mystery in the writer's
death.
Howard Kyle, actor friend and
brother -in-law of Vance. said he saw
nothing mysterious in the finding of the
benZine can. Kyle said he saw nothing
improbable in the original police theory
that the author fell asleep and set his
heavily upholstered chair aflre with a
cigarette.

timately there is nothing inconsistent
with his way of life in the finding of

Close friends of Vance also said he
never touched alcohol.
A report filed by an assistant medi-
cal examiner. DR.. Robert c. Fisher based
on a statement from DR.. r. L Kreis-
berg, Vance's physician, stated, however,
that the author had been drinking

PERHAPS WE HAVE PLAYED
SANTA CLAUS LONG ENOUGH.

Secretary of State Hull gives out the
thought that he feels "the United States
is prepared to lead the way out OF the
morass of economic nationallSm IN
which he feels the world has begged
down since the wal, @~ss Stated in a
news dispatch from Washington. This
is given out on the eve of meetings be-
tween President Roosevelt and foreign
statesmen.
That is laudable ambition on Mr..
HulTs part but the thought arises that
perhaps the United States has played
Santa Claus long enough to world
that does not appreciate nor want our
kind efforts Apparently the more the
United States does for others, the more
they hate us Isn't it about time we
began to think first of the welfare of
our own country?
Foreign statesmen are coming to con-
fer with President Roosevelt on world
problems prior to the world economic
conference to be held in London IN
June A few weeks ago, prominent
British spokesman announced they
would consider in a parley in Washing
ton nothing except what the British
wanted. Our statesmen had contended
that we would stand out for Britain
going back onto the gold standard and
tariff concessions for American goods.
The Britisher stated such topics could
not even be considered and said--in
effect-the only subject that could be
discussed was cancellation Of war debts
by the United States.
Apparently altruism plays little part
in European diplomacy. Secretary of
State Hull wants to lower world tar
If walls. In the trading that is to be
done, he better move with extreme
caution or he will find the foxy Euro
peans have traded Uncle Sam out OF
not only his pants but of his TIN
derWear as well.
