soon" He is also relying heavily On
the report Of the toxicologists.
Witnesses will include Mr.. and Mrs.
Curtis Campaigne Of New York, house
guests Of the Davidsons at the time of
the tragedy: the butler and other
household servants. Approximately II
persons who attended the charity ball
and the early morning breakfast at
the spaghetti camp also will be called.
One Of the as yet unexplained
phases Of the case is the discovery of
a number of bruises, some as large as
half dollar, on the young woman's
thighs. It was pointed out, however,
that Mrs. Davidson had been active in
athletics and may have received the
bruises in this way.
Ignition Key On.
Pruette also said the ignition key
Of Mrs. Davidson's car was turned on
when her body was discovered, but
that there was suficient gasoline to
take the woman to the hospital" He
refused to explain what significance
he attached to this fact.
Mrs. Davidson, one Of four adopted
children OF the late e. M. Statler.
chain hotel operator, was brought up
under the guidance Of advanced
psychologists She was graduated
from Radcliffe College at the age
of 20.
Two years ago she made the Olym-
pic swimming team, but a spinal in
jury prevented her from competing In
the championships.
Davidson, o son Of o prominent
Washington contractor, married Miss
Statler In Pinehurst January 3. They
occupied separate rooms at their FASH
ionable home here, and he told in
vestigators he did not know his wife
had left the house until notified by
the butler. His brother, Richard
Porter Davidson, Is the husband OF
Betty Hanna. granddaughter Of the
late Mark Hanna
Mrs. Davidson was buried Saturday
at Mount Kisco. N. Y.

Calls to Arms.
The army classes Of 1882 and 1888
were called to the colors, the mobili-
zation orders fiuttering down on In.
land mountain villages from govern
ment planes soaring overhead.
The entire island Of Crete was in
the hands Of the insurrectionists, and
venizelos was said to have appropri-
ated 100000 from Canea's treasury
to finance the rebellion.
Denouncing the former premier as
only fit to be a pirates hero" Pre-
mier Tsaldaris expressed the convic-
ton that the revolution would be
quelled and order re-established.
1.-The movement Is the greatest mis-
fortune that has befallen Greece" he
said. "Venizelos doesn't respect the
peoples expressed wishes. He only
respects them when his government is
In power"
The premier said he regretted that
after having served so well and faith
fully, Venizelos should soil the record
OF his brilliant career by an action 81
costly to his country.
Il am certain" he continued, shat
the movement will end in Greece's
favor in such a way that such move
ment Will never take place again."

civilian clothing.
The conspirators drove in automo-
biles to the Salamis arsenal and naval
base, where they gained entrance by
presenting old or forged passes. A
sentinel who questioned their au.
thority was shot on the spot.
The officers then took over the five
warships and ordered them to put
out to sea under full steam, while
their crews were ignorant Of the plan
In which they were made participants.
After an all-night cabinet meeting,
the government issued a statement
declaring that certain seditious naval
officers, inspired solely by party pas
sions, had forced the crews Of the
naval vessels to comply with their
demands.

Fight for Decade.
Recalling that the Navy had been
fighting for q decade to have the law
interpreted to cover the transporta-
ton expenses which have caused the
trouble, McCarl said: 1T Is beyond
understanding why II the Navy De-
partment believes such travel ex-
penses should be paid by the Gov
eminent and feels the Congress can
be so convinced, the matter was not
promptly submitted to the Congress
by the department with view to Sc
curing such amendment Of the law
as would clearly legalize such pay
ments."
AS wind-up, he told Swanson that
any such payments made hereafter
will be disallowed in his account.
In coming to grips again with the
Attorney Generals office, McCarl Is

told Pruette Mrs. Davidson and her
husband, accompanied by a party Of
friends, came to the spaghetti camp
Wednesday morning after attending
a charity ball at the Pinehurst Coun-
try Club.
Weeping Noticeably.
Mrs Davidson had little to say"
the waiter told Pruette, land after
she had been there short time saw
her crying. She was weeping so that
it was easily noticeable. I don't know
what was the matter.
1.-THE party had fun, but none Of
them was boisterous. They laughed
and talked, but Mrs. Davidson took
little part in 1t. She was sitting at
the head of the table near her hus-
band. A little later I noticed that she
was crying"
The husband, nearly 20 years older
than his dead wife, will be one of the
major witnesses at the inquest.
Notragiacomio told Pruette the Da-
wilson party left the camp between
4:30 and 5 am. and that they were
all in evening clothes. When Emanuel
Burch, the butler, found her body at
9:05 am. she was clad only in skirt,
sweater and pair Of mules.
The waiter will be called as q wit
ness at the inquest scheduled for to-
morrow.
Autopsy Delayed.
DR.. c. c. Carpenter Of the Wake
Forest Medical School, who started the
autopsy Friday. says the examination
was not completed. but that he ex-
pected to be able ito make some kind
Of report" at the inquest. It was IN
derstood the delay resulted from send
ing the vital organs to Duke University
for further examination. DR.. Carpen-
ter would not say why this additional
examination Is being made and would
not disclose the nature Of his findings
at Wake Forest. He indicated, how
ever, that final report will not be
ready before the end Of the week
There was possibility the inquest
may be continued until this report can
be submitted.
DR.. Carpenter, who was retained by
Moore County authorities to make the
examination, has reported that he
found sufficient carbon monoxide gas
present to cause death.
Dr. Haywood M. Taylor Of the Duke
Hospitals department Of toxicology
told DR.. Carpenter last night that his
preliminary examination confirmed
the original finding that the poisonous
gas was present In q sufficient quantity
to cause death.

FOR FOOTBALL

Burt Coggins, for the past IL
years coach at Central High
School, will do double duty for a
while next fall, now that his ap-
plication to teach at the new
Woodrow Wilson High School has
been approved by the school board.
He will continue as Centra's
football coach because veteran
team is to return and the lads
have been schooled so completely
in the Coggins system.
But after the grid campaign
Coggins will confine all his efforts
at Woodrow Wilson high. His pres
ent plans call for teaching only at
the new institution. But later on
Coggins will take over athletics in
the hope of developing teams OF
high caliber in all sports.
At Central CogginS has exper-
fenced great success as a coach,
particularly in basketball. Several
championship teams have played
under his tutelage while his lone
title-winning football team was de-
veloped in 1888 when Tech was
dethroned after a five year reign.

A crowd of 10000 is expected to
jam this track in an effort to
witness what is expected, a one
horse race.
Omaha, through his brilliant
performance in the Kentucky
Derby last Saturday is looked
upon by racing fancs as a sure
pop. The RED Fox" as he is
known by stable hands around
his barn, is fit as hands can
make, and if a fast track pre-

mark for the event.

him close to the leading money

HURLER.
STOPS RIDERS
IN SERIES

Good pitching always wins base
ball games, also most always stops
the opponent supposed to be quite
powerful at bat.
This rang true to form yesterday
when dependable hurting beat the
slugging Roosevelt Rough Rider
nine in an inter-high clash at
Eastern Stadium. Ted Kinsman,
young Highlander, did the hurl.
ing, and collaborated with his
Western teammates in stopping
Roosevelt. The score was Is to 6.
Cleary Erased
But before Kinsman entered the
picture, the Rough Riders treated
Dan Cleary, Western starter, with
plenty of fireworks. Five runs
were pushed across the pan in the
second inning-quite enough to
erase Cleary from the mound in
favor Of Kinsman.
Immediately, Coach Moore's lads
took on more life. In the third
they chased Joe Bovello, Roose-
welt starter, from the box by tai.
lying six markers. They stopped
here until the eighth because
Frank Baroni, Bovellos successor
proved to be a good relief man
for four innings.
In the eighth, however, Baroni
could not stand the strain of pitch.
ing so soon following his recent
illness. He cracked and Western
scored four more runs.
Lead Too Much
He granted two more in the
ninth, giving the Georgetowners
such a lead that it was quite i'm.
possible for Roosevelt to get back
into the game.
The Rough Riders did not quit
until the final out. For in the
ninth they finally reached Kins-
man for a run to give the game
it's final figures of 10 to 6.
Bill EdmonSton and Clarence
Allen were the stars for Western
besides KinSman. Edmonston hit
a double in that big third inning
to help in the scoring, while Allen
poled a long homer in addition
to playing star game at short.

from Kentucky this morning.
Dark Horse

Col. E. r. Bradley's Boxthorn
is rated the dark horse in the
event. The colt showed a burst
of speed in the Derby, but dropped
back a beaten horse. According
to Trainer Thompson, that was
Boxthorn's first start of the year
and the colt was in need of a con-
ditioner.
Trainer w. Hurley, who now
has charge of Boxthorn and will
saddle the colt today, said this
morning, 1.-THE youngSter looks 100
per cent better that he did in the
Derby, and under Sonny Work
man I expect him to be right
there at the finish"
Commonwealth. owned by Mrs.
Walter M. Jeffords and trained by
Preston Burch of Washington,

course last year and seems partial
to this course. and it is believed
that he can do much better than
he did in the Derby.
Rest of Field Out
The rest of the field is not likely
to figure seriously in the running.
According to Matthias L. Dagger.
general manager of the Maryland
Jockey Club, the mutuel play
should run around 100000.

and the play for the past two
weeks easily surpassed last years

Much Can Happen

for many causes. Yet so many
things can happen to offset his
natural advantages that he IS
by no means a certainty, even
though he stands out like
Roosevelt against the bonus.
Omaha was all horse last Satur'

He has breeding that empha.

for distance running speed and
stamina.
All, that is the combination
speed and stamina! Those two
and a smart ride will carry any
deserving thoroughbred to his
goal.
We all know Omaha has
stamina. He was going away
when he reached the end of the
run at Louisville a week ago
today. Today's race is a six

track Is faster than at the
Downs. We know he is swift,
because, he comes from a speedy

from just about the finest

conceive.
