The action of Coroner Carpenter In
his fluctuations as to public, private,
again public hearings. is evidence Of
a man untitled for his position. His
mistake was in standing upon his first
decision. Much can be said In favor
Of private hearings, and much also In
favor of public hearings but nothing
can be said in favor of vacillation in
such actions.

HIS IDENTITY a MYSTERY.
Mysterious Drowning Under Investi-
Gution by the Coroner.

Eution by fhe coroner.
High on the rocks at Deadman's Point,
located between the basin" and the river,
near the foot of Fifteenth Street north
west. the body of an unknown man was
found late yesterday afternoon. Death had
evidently resulted from drowning. Cor
oner hewitt viewed the body at the morgue
last night and gave a certificate of death
Efforts are being made by the police to
learn the identity of the man. Detectives
Muller and Baur were detailed on the case
and will probably report today.
Three men discovered the remains. They
are Albert Adams. residing at So Four
teenth Street southwest; Lewis Linden, of
1912 Twentieth Street northwest, and
James Digney who lives at 1867 d Street
southwest They were walking along the
shore, a narrow strip which divides the
river from what is known as the basin"
and suddenly came upon the body 1t is
that of a man about thirtyfye years of
age. five feet eight inches tall. and weigh
ing i40 pounds. The men Immediately
called for the police. Word was sent in
for the dead wagon and the body was taken
to the morGue. Coroner NeYitt was then
notified. He examined the remains and
made an investigation. The body was bad
ly decomposed. as though it had been in
the water several days. Marks were found
here and there, thought to be the result of
striking against rocks and lodges. No
theory Of foul play is entertained by the
police.
The little clothing found about the dead
man furnished no cleW TO his identity.
Among the list of those reported miss
ing there is no man answering the
description of the drowned person, but an
other effort will be made today to learn
his identity. Pending definite results in
this direction the body will be held at the
morgue.

The light showers predicted by the
Weather Bureau for Sunday failed to put
in an appearance yesterday, but, on the
other hand, the mercury started on
rampage toward the top of the thermom-
eter at the bureau and only stopped when
it hung on the 80 bar at o'clock There
was fresh breeze all day long, but in the
streets where it had no sweep the sun
beat down with fierceness and made lie
miserable to the few who were obliged to
be out. Car lines to suburban resorts did
a heavy business all morning and in the
early afternoon.
No change was predicted by the Weather
Bureau in the forecast sheet issued last
evening. On the middle Atlantic Coast
