CORONER'S VIEW DOUBTED Secret Service Head Says Dr. Tiffin Keversed Decision as to Cause of Investigator's Death. SEATTLE, Wash.. July 16. (Spe cial.) Government agents today con tinued their investigation of the death of Fred A. Dowsey, special agent of the department of investigation of the United States shipping board, regard less of the verdict returned by a coro ner's Jury late Tuesday, declaring that he died a natural death. Mr. Dowsey, who had been sent to conduct a secret probe into alleged graft in connection with wartime ship construction, was found dead in a washroom adjoining shipping board offices in the Securities building. May 2. Interest in the case increased follow ing receipt in Seattle today of the find ings of Dr. Charles Norris, in New York, who performed an autopsy on Mr. Dowsey's body after it had been sent east. His statement follows: . . .. - - . Scalp Wound Found. James 1. Dowsey .of No. . 80 Broad way asked me to perform the autopsy upon the body of his brother. Frederick A. Dowsey. who died on May 2 in Seattle. The body had been embalmed and the usual incision in the perform ance of an autopsy had been made on the right forehead, near the line of the hair. There was a curved incised and contused wound of the scalp. Also there was a hemorrhage inflation of the skin of the forehead about? the wound and a hematomajor inflation of the scalp. An examination-of the brain ehowed no evidence of central of sponr taneous hemorrhage (popularly known as apoplexy); there - was a farrly marked arterio sclerosis (so-called hardening of the arteries) of the cere bral vessels and of the aorta. Other wise the organs were normal. An ex haustive chemical examination waa made and no poisons were, found." Reversal by Coroner Asserted. "I am not surprised at the verdict of the jury," said Major M. S. Game, head or the secret service agents in Seattle, lollowmg the inquest, but I am sur prised at the testimony given in the de position of the coroner, which is eueh direct contrast' to the statements made by him to myself and other fed eral agents and the newspapers. "The coroner's deposition was exactly the reverse; of the statement made to me at the beginning of this investiga tion and later his statements to the newspapers." Conflicting testimony was presented to the coroner's jury Tuesday. Three of the six Jurors held out for an hour against the verdict that was finally re turned. At the conclusion of the inquest t;ene Hatton, foreman of the jury, said that the jurors were in doubt, but felt that a verdict attributing Dow sey's death to natural causes "would not hurt anyone."

DODSON TALKS ON RATES Portland's Fight for Recognition Put Before Clubmen. Portland's claims for recognition of natural advantages In the establish ment of freight rates were reviewed be fore the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon by W. D. B. Dodson, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who said the decision will be made upon presen tation of two chief points: First, a de mand for elimination of discrimination on rail mileage between this port and other cities; second, full benefit of nat ural advantages.
