went to her home. That was at about ll:30.
 At about 12:45, two mon walk Ing along Canal street, near No. b4, found c huddled body lying on tho edge of the sidewalk. Tho Wa torbury hospital ambulance Waa summoned and the man, who Waa Healey, rushed to tho institution, lio died m hour later, without re- gaining consciousness.
 Conducting tho autOpsy later that morning, Dr Edward Kirsch. baum, medical examiner, found that Henlcys skull had boen bad ly shattered. In addition tho We- tim had hem0rrhnge of the brain, and of tho chest, and cuts, bruises, lacoratIons and abrasions of the face, arm, hands, knees, legs and shinB. There was no skin broken on the top of Hoaicys head, however
 Tho medical examiner, ih reply to questions naked him by news. papermen, declared his bolicf that Iioalcy's injuries could hardly have been received in n fall or even In m aut0 accident. A fall from third story window might possibly Do accountable, he said Vht tftU bHuL WOulu Us tAtFtHlCly difficult of explanation, in view Of the injuries.
 Lieut.. Detective Joseph Stevens and Detective William Foley, open- Ing tho police side of tho inycsti- gatlon, first learned that Hoaley had fallen down Il few times be- fore the time he suffered the in- Juries which resulted in his death. Al .l. l,.s, ises, they discovered chips out of lean toward the fall theory. Then, continuing their probo yesterday, they discovered fresh evidence, as yet definitely unre- vealed, which made the theory of n fall from the window possible one. A third floor window waa open at the time that Healey met with his fatal injuries.
 Supporting the popular belief, that Hcaley was beaten to death, are several strong points. First. there is the medical examiner's res port after his autopsy, which indi' cated in all probability that Heal ey had been slugged Into uncon- sclousness. Another point is the discovery of q few drops of blood outside the building at S4 Canal street, but about l5 or 16 feet from where the body was found. The beating version could explain this by saying that Healey was bleeding as he was being pum- meled by his assailant or assail- ants.
 Had he fallen down the stairs, I.observers point out, 1t would seem that there should be blood on one or more of the steps. If he fell from the window, the blood out side the doorway would seem hard to account for.
 If Healey was beaten to death, l 1t is most probable that the instru- ment was q piece of pipe or other metal, carefully wrapped In cloth or carpet. This would account for the absence of cuts on his head despite the terrlflcally battered skull, and would explain a facial abrasion in which could be seen the weave of some material, prob- ably carpet.
 l Meanwhile. with all the city | theorizing, police are continuing their probe. It will be kept under way until they are definitely sat lsfied that the mysterious death has been fully explained.

HUNDREDS HEAR co OMMITTEE ON
 U MON REPORT
Nearly 600 Sign Rolls of New Organization at
 Meeting, A.B. Hall

Five hundred miners and mine workers last night listened to the reports of their committee of fif- teen on organization and many who had not signed the roll for a union before, affixed their signa- lures and paid preliminary dues. Approximately 500 men have now signed, it is said. The meetings were held in the A. B. Hall.
 The meeting was the first of two called to hear the reports. The second opened this morning at 10 o'clock and the rolls are still being signed today.
 Final Meeting Soon
 A final organization meeting will be held soon subject to the call of the committee and at that time permanent officers will be named, constitution and bylaws voted on and an official name will be given to the organization. At the same time the question of afflliat- ing with national or outside unions will be taken up.
 The theme of last nights meet ing was that the organization was for the purpose of combining to aid each other and better their conditions. One of the speakers stated: We will be considered legal and have the backing of the Roosevelt Administration in our efforts to better ourselves, as long as we comply with the laws. This we must do."
 Cooperation Wanted
 Radicalism was declared to have no place in the union by several of the speakers. From the hearty applause received the concensus of the meeting was that the idea of the organization in it's negotiations with employers would be peaceful bargaining.

 Thoroughly educated in the modern tradition of democratic loyalty, Leopold III. hew king of the Belgians, has had a full share of adventure and thrills.
 He was private soldier in the trenches in 1915 when only 13 years old; tourist with his father and mother in 1919 on a criss-cross journey of the United States; an incognito wooer in Sweden, winning in 1926 a queen of his own choosing; collector of rare butterflies in the Philippines in 1892 and now, at 32, king of the Belgians, ruling the most denseyl populated country in Europe and the immense tract of the Belgian Congo in Africa.
 He was sent to England at the outbreak of the World war and en- tered Eton, the famous public school" of short jackets, wide col lars and "toppers:" On a holiday in London German Zeppelin sailing over the British capital let loose a bomb and a fragment hit the princeling in the arm.
 Earned Sergeant's Rank
 In the trenches in Belgium his first job was filling sand bags. He worked too enthusiastically ano was exhausted in three hours. Transferred later to the service of supply, he came out of the war a sergeant.
 S-lce then he has been to mili- tary school, commissioned a lieu tenant and gradually promoted un- til now he is commander in -chie1 of the people whom Julius Caesar described as the bravest in al Gaul.
 Leopold is a tall blond, less wig orous than the powerful father who could bend an iron bar in hi: hands, but is active, quick think ing and mechanically-minded Ht speeds automobiles with as much sureness as did his sire, likes tc fly, has followed his fathers ex. ample by digging coal underground and has driven locomotives.
 Knows Country's Lore
 Those qualities fit the ruler o. an industrial nation like Belgium So, too, his knowledge of French and Flemish literature, philosophy and history qualities him to under. stand his bi-lingual people.
 One of his hobbies is entomology A 1892 trip took him to the East Indies and the Philippines, where he went butterfly hunting on Pala. wan Island, habitat of a specie! with a 10-inch wingspread He i! also an enthusiastic fisherman il summer and a skier in winter.
 In the United States he saw Nj. agara Falls, visited Woodrow Will sons sick chamber, watched south. western Indian dances, marvelet at California's big trees and, il Cincinnati, said he wished he knev how to shoot craps.
