SEATTLB. Wash., July IS. (Special.
With the announcement by Coronor
Tiffin that an Inquest into the death of
F. A. Dowsey, federal agent investigat
ing shipping-board affairs on the Pa- '
clfic coast, who was murdered in the
Securities building May 2, would be
held Tuesday, leaders In the shipbuild
ing industry in Seattle believe that the
investigation of the crime will fall into
Insignificance in comparison with the
scandal that will arise in connection
with wood shipbuilding during the pe
riod 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 cer
tain officials connected with the ship
ping board.
Federal agents said this atternoon
that affidavits are on file at Washing
ton, D. C, giving the names of the
men who endeavored 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. The government men re
fused to give out names of Portland
firms or indicate in any way the Iden
tity of their officers
Theft of Papers Suspected.
That Dowsey Was murdered and Im
portant papers relating to his investi
gations here stolen from his pockets
accepted by the government men
working on the case. They do not
concur with the coroner that death was
uc to apoplexy, especially, since the
finding of a blood-covered iron bar
which they allege was used by Mr.
Dowsey's assailants. An analysis of the
blood on the bar is being made for
the purpose of comparison with blood
taken from Mr. Dowsey's body. Among -the
government men working on the
case are some of the most expert fin
ger-print men, chemical-analysis ex
perts, Bertillon-measurement men and
expert criminologists.
Seattle shipbuilders declare that It Is
very probable that following the
Dowsey inquest the Investigation of
shipbuilding affairs on the Pacific coast
may be taken up by congress. That
grand jury recommendations regarding .
probe of the shipbuilding industry
ere will be made, shipbuilders say, is
practically certain.
Inquest to Last Several Days.
Coroner Tiffin is at present at Camp
Lewis with the Third Washington in
fantry. The decision of Dr. Tiffin was
made after a longconference today at
the camp with Major M. S. Game of
the shipping board intelligence depart
ment. The federal agent went out to
see the coroner, and the coroner said
the entire situation was reviewed,
though Dr. Tiffin was familiar with all
except the latest events, which, it was
Said, did not bring put much, if any
thing, that was not already known be
fore he went to camp with the troops.
Dr. Tiffin said the inquest probably
will last three or four days. Unless
some situation develops which is not
now foreseen he will not be present,
owing to his military duties. The
coroner is a lieutenant in the National
Guard medical department.
Additional Details Given.
Deputy Coroner Koepfli will go to
Camp Farwell probably Monday to take
the deposition of Dr. Tiffin, which will
be presented to the Jury at the time
of the inquest. Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Carmody will be present at
the Inquest, it Is stated, for the pur
pose of familiarizing himself with the
testimony brought out, and to deter
mine if, in his opinion, there Is any
ground fcr the prosecutors' request for
a grand jury investigation and action,
as has been asked by Major Game.
Dr. Tiffin yesterday gave additional
details of the Dowsey case, and the
developments since the man's death.
Investigators Are Busy.
No less, than three separate sets of
special Investigators have been here
looking into the case," Dr. Tiffin said.
"As I remember it, the federal inquiry "
began about the time Mn Dowsey's
body was shipped to New Tork. Two
special investigators came here and
came to see me. These were men from
outside of Seattle. The first step waa
taken by these ien."
One set of two Investigators worked
along for a while, but failed to turn
up anything of value on the case. Dr.
Tiffin said. They then went away.
' "Were you ordered by 'any govern
ment officials in Seattle to render a
verdict of apoplexy."
"Well," he replied with a grin, per
haps 'suggestion' or 'intimidation'
would be a better description."
