ROAD DJOBFOREMAN
KILLED BY TRUCK
Man in Charge of Arlington
Grading Force Victim of
Accident.

Raymond Neil, 80, of Chase City
Va, grade foreman on the Lee .Boule-
ward extension project in Arlington
County, was crushed to death beneath
a concrete mixing truck today.
The accident occurred at Lee Boule-
ward and Fort Myer drive, Arlington.
Police said Neil was standing behind
the truck, driven by Robert Thomas,
colored, 1909 Potomac street south
west, and it backed over him while
he was talking to another man.
Coroner w. c. Wellburn issued a
certificate Of accidental death.
1t was the second death from traffic
accidents in the Capital area over the
week end, which was unusually free
OF serious automobile accidents in the
District proper.
William E. Moore, 10, of Friendly,
Md, died in Casualty Hospital yester-
day of injuries received Saturday night
In collision near Allentown, Md.
Police said he was riding in a car
driven by John j. Bickines of Ana
costa, which collided with another
machine, operated by Edward Biggs,
also of Anacostia.
Less than dozen persons were re-
ported hurt, none of them seriously, in
District accidents yesterday.
Mrs. Eta Durbin, 48, colored, 1900
block of Ninth street. was taken to
Casualty early today with painful
chest and head injuries received in an
accident near College Park, Md. She
was reported In fair condition.

Man, u, Found in Tatters Here,
Has 81 ,494 Cash IN Pockets
All Rel latiues Haze
"Cimmes,'' He Tells
Hospital attendants.

Malnourished and tattered, shiver-
ing old man found wandering in
Northeast Washington early today was
sent to Gallinger Hospital by pitying
policemen, who later found s1,494 in
cash and bank books listing deposits
of $4,000 in his pockets.
At the hospital the man gave his
name as Herman Bode,, and said he
was 70 years old. But his mind RAM
bled when he was questioned further,
and he said he could not remember
where he came from or what he was
doing in Washington.
Policeman G.. w. Cardona of the
twelfth precinct found Bode shivering
and wandering aimlessly at $3.50 am.
today at New York avenue and Fair
view street northeast. The man car
ried an old sack containing kitchen
knives, bag of coffee, a cup, some
scraps Of bread and a few figs.
Believing the man was starving,
Cardona took him to the hospital.
There search of his pockets revealed
one $500 bill, four $100 bills, two $50
bills and the remainder of the 81 ,494
In $40, $40 and 81 bills
Pressed for information about his
relatives, the man said:

FOUND
GAS FUMES VICTIM.
Attractive F. S. A. Worker,
33, Discovered in Base
ment of Morton Mansion.

Mrs. Lenore S. Newson, 49, attrac-
tive Farm Security Administration
secretary, was found dead today in
gas-filled basement apartment in the
old Levi Morton mansion, at 1900
Rhode Island avenue.
Fumes poured from four unlighted
stove burners, and letter addressed
to Mrs. NewsOn's estranged husband
was lying sealed on table when her
body was found at 7:25 am. by her
roommate, Miss Jean McAllister.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
read Mrs. Newson'S letter to her hus-
band and said it contained nothing
that would explain her death. He
said he will issue certificate of sui
eide later today, although no motive
for such an act has been established.
Mrs. Newson and Miss McAllister,
also an F. S. A. secretary, moved into
the former home of Morton, Vice
President under Benjamin Harrison
and One-time Ambassador to France,
about a month ago. The mansion,
still decorated with the lavish furnish
ings of its days of splendor, is now
operated as lodging house.
Shocked by her discovery, Miss Nc
Allister could shed little light on the
mystery of Mrs Newson's death. She
said her roommate appeared in good
spirits last night. When she
awakened this morning, Miss Nc
Allister related, she found her miss
ing. In the corridor she smelled gas
and traced it downstairs to the
kitchen
Mrs. Newson came to Washington
about two and a half years ago from
a regional Office of the Resettlement
Administration. She brought her
small daughter and told friends she
was estranged from her husband,
Robert J. Newson of Shreveport, La.
About a month ago Mrs. Newson
obtained leave to place her daughter
in convent school in Louisiana.
Mrs. NewSOn was secretary to Ma
son Barr, special assistant to the dep
uty administrator.
The Morton mansion was recently
purchased by the National Democratic
Club OF America, which plans to take
it over about November /.

sibilities if Japan wins her objectives.
Foreign trade and commerce need
not be affected unfairly"
The Ambassador refused, however,
to discuss the situation of American
and other foreign commercial inter-
ests in Manchuria and Northern
China since japanese occupation and
control. In many respects Kawagoe
presented a pathetic figure.
When he became Ambassador to
China in April, 1886, his declared OBJ
jective was to untangle conflicting in
terests of Chinese and japanese.
The thunder of japanese guns in
North China July endangered any
chance of peaceful settlement. Shang-
hal hostilities starting August l3
wrecked it.
So the Ambassador is awaiting the
turn of events in which, officially at
least, he is supposed to take part.

dows OF Kawagoe's house were covered
with shutters. The palatial official
quarters, which had been the scene
of many brilliant functions in the
past, virtually were deserted. A few
servants fitted about silently in the
gloom.
Almost mechanically, Kawagoe re-
lterated the japanese view of his
countrys aims in China

must be stamped out"
How long will it take?" l asked.

Asked about a statement credited
to President Roosevelt-that the Sino-
japanese situation was an awful
mess"-Kawagoe replied:
ut may be possible that the United
States does not understand what
Japan is trying to accomplish in
China. Foreigners should not be ap-
prehensive of their future trade pos
