Ill swimming to the surface he encountered the wreckage of the bridge, through which he finally crawl ed to safety. , With, dozens of relatives and friends of missing men, W. A. Godfrey rushed to the morgue to look for the body of his brother who was with him on the bridge. "There were four of us in the car." said young Godfrey, "John Darr and Charles Strand,- my brother and my self. Darr was driving. 1 don't know how it happened. One moment we were talking and laughing with three of us in the back seat and the next moment the car was diving into the river. The noise was deafening. Then I cannot remember anything except the fight to get out of the back seat with all the weight of the water against me. Somehow or other I mado it and climbed onto the broken tim bers. Some men pulled me up with ropes. They pulled Darr and Stroud up too, but when we looked around for my brother John, he wasn't tliero." Repairs Being Made Had the bridge collapsed a few min utes earlier the loss of life would have been greatly multiplied. During the afternoon, workmen had been making repairs on the draw which was par tially raised at times. Five minutes before the accident, at the close of one of theBe periods of work, scores of cars woro backed up nt either ap proach, together with many pedes trians, waiting to cross. This press of traffic had dwindled to approximate ly tho normal evening load when tho brlilgo crashed; Survivors told almost identical stor ies. The snap and crash of the falling structure, tho sudden plunge Into the racing river and the battle for life in the muddy current. To Bwlm ashore, cumbered with heavy clothing, was a test to be mot only by the strongest and most ndept a fact attested by the circumstance that many of the sur vivors were pulled from the river n distance of three blocks below the wreckage. Exploration of the wreckago was not attempted last night, owing to a fear that bodies which might be caught among tho timbers would be released and carried away In the darkness. This was begun with daylight and an en deavor will also bo made to grapple for submerged automobiles In which bodies may be held. Report 40 Rescued Tho estimate of the number rescue.!. whether below the bridge or on the debris was forty. Allowing for tha escape of many upon the bridge and accepting the estimate of 100 who were in peril, it Beamed likely that the loss of lives would be trebled when tho final check is mado. At daybreak searching parties cruised down river In quest of bodies which may have been carried even into tho Columbia which the Cowlitz joins two miles below the city. the curtains of his cur and crawled! river here. Officials admitted the possibility Unit the. death list might reach 25 or 30. One body was recovered from the river at noon today below Ibe bridge, and Oeorge ().

The unfinished state bridge across the Cowlitz river between east and west Kelso will be connected immediately with a temporary structure around the uncompleted lift span in the cen ter so that traffic, which was cut off by the collapse of the city bridge yr.s tenl.'iy afternoon, may he resumed as soon as possible, according to Gov ernor Louis F.

(Continued from page one.) the controversy centers largely upon the proper construction to be given the word "territory." ns used by con gress In extending the prohibition act to territory subject to the "jurisdic tion of the United States." The gov ernment contends that the nation's "territory" extends wherever the United Hlntes has "Jurisdiction," and that having Jurisdiction over Ameri can vessels on the high sens and In foreign ports, the prohibition law au tomatically applies to them. Counsel for the American steam ship companies combat such a con struction, insisting that under decis ions of the courts the "territory" of the United .States is "land." A ship is not "territory" in a physical sense, they argue, nor In the same sense ns the word Is employed in the consti tution.

Autos Back to Safety Scant as the warning was at the snapping of the cable, many of the pedestrians on' the bridge raced to safety and In one or two Instances automobiles were backed away ns the chasm gaped before them. Hardy swimmers rose to tho surface and struck out against tho muddy t6rrent of the stream, being carried far down tho river before they were rescued. Unable to back his car from the tumbling structure, E. F. Hatch, a shingle weaver, living in Kelso, sat helpless at the wheel of his machine as It sank with the bridge.
