, THE W. P. KDfQ COMPANY
Seattle. That Fred A. Dowsey, gov
ernment secret service agent, was
murdered on the eve of filing pa pen
that would send prominent men to the
penitentiary la the opinion of secret
service men now In Seattle, who are
working on the case, which Is one of
the most mysterious In the history of
the secret service.
Valuable papera which were said to
be In Powsey's possession when he
was killed in the washroom of the Se
curities building on the morning of
May 2, were missing from the body
when It was found by 0. H. Douglas,
clerk In the disbursing office of the
Emergency Fleet corporation.
With the announcement by Coroner
Tiffin that an Inquest Into the death
of F. A. Dowsey, federal agent Investi
gating shipping board affalra on the
coast, would be held, leaders tn the
shipbuilding Industry In Seattle be
lieve that the Investigation of the
crime will fall Into Insignificance In
comparison with the scandal that will
arise In connection with wood ship
building during the period of the war.
Many were free In their assertions
that It has been known for a long
time that all was not right with the
government department handling ship
building and they have told federal
agents In the last few days that they
are ready and willing to take the stand
to testify as to what they know re
garding the alleged crookedness of
certain officials connected with the
shipping board.
Federal agents stated that affidavits
are on file at Washington, D. Cj, giv
ing 'the names of the men who en
deavored to Involve certain Portland
shipbuilders Into participation In their
fraudulent practices. The probe now
In progress has narrowed to a point
where arrests may be expected at any
time.
