SOS SENT OUT
BY LIGHTSHIP

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 QN.S).
Disabled by hurricane winds, the
Chesapeake lightship-a floating
warning east of the entrance to
Chesapeake Bay-broadcast a call
for assistance early today.
The Coast Guard cutter Men
dota was rushing to the lightships
assistance.
Plight of the vessel was disclosed
in an sos picked up by Mackay
Radio here. The vessel broadcast:
1--WE are just a little off our
station. We cannot steer but can
use our rudder. Think our en-
gines are not strong enough to
hold in this hurricane"
Mackay Radio said the Coast
Guard cutter Mendoza advised it
was near by and heading toward
the lightship.
There was no further word Of
the lightship's fate after the sos
was flashed at $50 a. m. &c. STD.

I'D. G.. Woman Is Found
Slain i'm Home

Battered on the head with
blunt instrument, then criminally
assaulted, Mrs. Florence D. Good
win, 40, Government worker and
proprietor of a lodging house at
1902 Sixteenth st. N. W. was
brutally murdered today.
The body of the woman, her
clothing torn off, was still warm
when it was found by ledger
who notified police.
Shortly after police began their
investigation they discovered hid
den in the room a stove shaker
which was covered with blood.
Usually, police said, the shaker was
kept on a hook near the stove.
They believe that this is the in
Strument which was used by the
murderer.
Receipt Is Clue
Another important clue found
by detectives of the homicide
squad who were called to the
scene was a receipt showing that
the dead woman had paid a bill
this morning. This fixes the time
of the murder within a few hours,
the detectives said, but they would
not go into details concerning
the receipt.
The body of the woman was
found in a front room on the
second floor of the building which
is almost directly opposite the
Soviet Embassy and the Racquet
Club.
AS far as can be determined,
the woman was last seen alive
about o'clock last night. At
that time she stopped in a drug
store next door and chatted with
DIR. D. Feldman, he told police.
At that time she seemed cheerful
and in good spirits, he said.
He closed the store about IL
o'clock last night and up to that
time heard no disturbance in Mrs.
Goodwin's home, he said.
Saw Light in Room
DR.. Edward Gookin, who resides
across the street, told police that
he went to the front door Of his
home about $40 this morning
and that at that time he noticed
The Washington times., 1936-09-18

a light burning in the window Of
the room in which the body was
found.
Mrs. Goodwin, who formerly
lived in Detroit, had been en-
ployed by the procurement divi-
sion of the Treasury Department
since 1881 as a typist and was at
work at the Government Ware
house yesterday. She had also
formerly been employed in the
Veterans Administration, the Of
flee of the Supervising Architect
of the Treasury, and the Navy De
partment.
When the body was found, the
head was covered by a blood
stained pillow, and detectives be-
lieve her attacker Slugged her,
then put the pillow over her head
to stifle any outcry in event she
should regain consciousness. An
autopsy will be held to determine
if she was killed by the blow or
smothered to death by the pillow.

Citizens of Toledo had spent
. good part Of the night evacu-
ating the city in preparation
for the great explosion.
It was not possible Immediately
to determine whether all the en-
tombed men, women and children
were dead.
The Alcazar was a CHASTITY
wreck.
One of it's great towers was
blown so yards into the air almost
whole crumbling as it fell.
Debris rained for almost five
minutes, causing many casualties
outside the fortress itself.
One of the loyalist commanders,
Colonel Barcelo, was slightly in
jured, many radical supporters
were believed seriously injured
also.
Radicals Assault
Immediately after the blast,
which climaxed a loyalist siege of
the fortress for more than two
months, 900 radical militiamen
and assault guards with rifles and
hand grenades stormed the fort
ress, which previously had with
stood the biggest guns the loyal
lists could bring against it.
Some of the granite fragments,
thrown yards into the air, fell
upon houses in Toledo, going di-
rectly through, from roof to the
ground, like aerial bombs.
Some of the militiamen who
stormed the Alcazar after the
blast hoisted red flags upon the
ruined walls.

Obligations of Uncle Sam Eased
as Soldiers Leave Money
in u. S. Treasury

Bonus payments from Washington
slowed to tickle this week, with
treasury officials expressing surprise
at the large number of veterans APP
parently preferring interest bearing
bonds to immediate cash.
Under the process of payment, the
veteran is first given bonds covering
the money due. He is privileged to
convert the bonds into cash at once,
or he may hold them and turn them
in with accumulated interest when
they mature in 1915.
Thus far, of $1,7O8, 100000 in bonds
issued to the veterans, a total of
$1,064, 100000 has been presented for
cash payment. This was against an
estimate made in May that the cash
cost of the bonus would run to
$2,237 100000.
The figures, too, showed both bond
and cash payments rapidly dwindl-
ing In approximately the last Is
days of June 81, 668, 100000 in bonds
were sisued of which the veterans
cashed $724, 100000.
By comparison, approximately the
same number of days in July saw
only $39,000,O00 in bonds go to the
former soldiers and $40, 900, 900 pre-
sented for cash payment.
If, as some officials think is indi-
Gated, the payments are thus sloping
away, a revision in the years budget
figures may become necessary.
Such circumstances would affect
both the size of the deficit and the
extent of the increase in the nation
al debt, but in different ways.
When the bonds were first issued
they were added to the public debt
total, as part of the obligations of the
treasury. When they are paid, they
are deducted from that total. How
ever, the money with which the
bonds are cashed comes from the
proceeds of the sale of other bonds
which have added to the debt.
In other words, such transaction
is entered three times on the books,
but of two of the entries each can
GELS the other, leaving the third in
the records.
Thus, as the figures sood, today,
the bonus payments had added
$644, 1900, 100000 to the public debt,
and $1,054, O00,3O to the deficit, the
latter figure divided into 1874, 200,-
900 in the last fiscal year which clos
ed June 80 and $34O,1OO,OOO in this
fiscal year.

June Birth and

The Bureau of Vital Statistics re-
ported last week that the birth rate

pared with $50 in June 1885, but
deaths of mothers went from 40 dur
ing the month one year ago to At.
The infant mortality rate dropped
from 1872 per 1000 live births to
62.5. The maternal death rate jump
ed from So TO IA, also per 1000 live
births.
Pneumonia continued to be the
cause of the most deaths during the
month, claiming 2O8 victims. Tuber-
culosis was next with 1853 and ma
laria third with 146. There were %
suicides and 80 homicides.
Eighty-three persons in the State
were killed in automobile accidents
during the last month, compared to
rs in June 1885. There were 20
