DEMOTT SHOT AND KILLED
WHILE TRYING TO FLEE
Representative of American Com
mission Investigates Death of
Paterson, N. J., Han.
BERLIN. April 15.?Paul R Pe Mott
of Paterson, N. J., who was shot and
killed at Wesel by a German sentry re
cently. was making a deliberate attempt
to escape from prison when fired upon,
according to an oral report made by a
representative of the American com
mission here, who has just completed
an investigation of the incident. A re
port being prepared for the State De
partment in Washington will give a de
tailed recital of the physical aspects of
the case as a result of an examination
of tho sentry who shot De Mott.
I'ndor a pretext that he wanted tem
porarily to absent himself from the
building in which he was confined, De
Mott was permitted to go out of doors,
but Is said to have made straight for
the gate leading to freedom. The sen
try called upon him to halt, and when
he failed to do so fired. The sentry,
who is described as being intelligent, is
quoted as expressing keen regret over
the fatal effect of his shot, but saying
he had no choice but to fire, as De Mott
in a few minutes would have been out
of reach.
De Mott was In possession of arms
when arrested, the investigation has
proved, and said to have been In com
pany with communist soldiers. His
passport read "France and the Baltic
provinces." the purpose of his trip being
given as "journalistic work." Complete
investigation of his papers has not as
yet been completed.
RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
CONFIRMED BY SENATE
Confirmation of the railroad labor
board appointed by President Wilson
came at the end of a four-hour ex
ecutive session of the Senate yester
day afternoon, after sharp criticisms
of some of the nine nominees had
been made by members of both polit
ical parties. The general feeling,
however, seemed to be that the ur
gency of the strike situation called
for immediate confirmation.
The discussion centered about the
nomination of G. Wallace W. Hanger,
a member of the federal mediation
board, and a roll call on his name
showed a vote of 31 to 24 In favor of
his confirmation. All of the other ap
pointees were confirmed by standing
or viva voce votes The oposition to
Mr. Hanger included members of both
parties.
The charge bv republican senators
that all of the nominees were demo
crats was challenged by the other
side of the house, and republican
members gave notice that in future
legislation calling for such appoint
ments a limit would be placed on the
number to he chosen from any one
party. The general basis of "com
plaints was the alleged lack of proml
I nence of all of the appointees.
