Autopsy Shows That Death Vas by
browning.
Man Is Supposed to Be
Charles Adams,
Who at One Time Travelled for
Colgate & Co.

The body Of the drowned man found in
the Portland Company=s dock still re-
mains unidentified. Yesterday afternoon
the police sent telegram to the firm OF
tailors IN Philadelphia whose names ap-
pear5d on the buttons on the trousers
worn by the man asking if they knew
Charles Adams the name which appeared
on the man S clothes. The reply stated
that Charles Adams was not known by
them but that he had been q travelling
salesman for Colgate & Co., the soap
manufacturers OF New York and from
that firm more information could be OBJ
tained. Adams had been introduced to
this firm Of taiIors by a man named Il.
Richards who was then connected with
the Pennsylvania R, h., but who is now
residing at the Grand Palace hotel in
Denver. No trace Of Adams relatives
could be found in Philadelphia.
The police have sent kilograms to Col
gate & Co. and to Denver but up 30 late
hour this morning had received no re-
ply. The belief that the man found bore
the name Of Charles Adams is growing
stronger with the officials but they are
by no means osrtain about it and have
no further information than that given
above.
So much talk having been made about
this case County Attorney Libby advised
Coroner Perry to have the city physician
perform an autopsy on the body OF the
unknown man to see If he had come to
his death by drowning or by some other
means, The autopsy was performed last
evening and DIR. Leighton found that the
mans lungs were filled with water and
that all of the other organs of his body
were in a sound and healthy condition.
it was evident from the examination
that the man had been drowned and
was not dead before he fell into the water.
Inquiries made last night among those
who have bought goods from Colgate &
Col for many years failed to bring to light
any one who had ever known Charles
Adams. There were many people yester-
day who saw the body and who said that
they thought they had seen the man be-
fore but no one was very certain about
it. The name of Adams could not be
found on the passenger lists OF either the
Boston or New York boats nor could the
name OF William l.. Martin be found
there. The IDENTIFY Of the man is still
uncertain but one thing is firmly believed
now and that is that the mans death
was due to an accident or that he delib-
erately committed suicide.

BANGOR NOT WANTED.

Lewiston journal: Fred Doe, mana
ger Of the Lewiston polo team received a
letter Friday from one Of his players in
Massachusetts in which he says that the
Hational league is getting grOggy. The
Maine league has already taken fourteen
of its star players. which easily explains
Its weakened condition. While at first
1t was understood that Bangor was sure
~ to be included in the Maine circuit, it
now appears that city may drop out
This viii not be because Bangor is not a
polo city or because Manager Mcclure
is not able to make a go Of his team
Bangor ana MCGUIRE are all right but
ths city Is SO remote from the other five

oiaIly, 1t VIII be mighty expensive for
the other teams to go down there twice
a week and for the Bangor team to

remarkably light as the five cities repre-
Eentsd are pretty well punched. The

WHAT OF TOWNE?


The proverbal superiuity of two tails to a
cat is generally known and universally ac-
cepted. The same principle applies to the vital
economy of a political propaganda, but the
Bryanites seem to be victims of the bifurcating
habit. Whether or not this is due TO their being
a collection of advanced" women as well as
men we cannot say. Perhaps ii is because. hav-
ing only one statesman of Presidential preten-
sions, they feel ii necessary TO preserve the
balance by showing the people that they nave
just no end of capacity to fill the Nice-Presi-
dency. -Four years ago il was the POpulist wing
of the combination which insisted on asserting
itself. Now the Democracy, in an attempt to
avoid being made the tail TO the Populist kite"
with characteristic stupidity proceeds TO make
itself so by refusing to fly the POpulist kite
with its Populist tail, and carefully substituting
itself in the person Of Mr.. Stevenson as the tail
10 the Populist candidate.
The question now arises. What is to become
of the Populist tail? Is Mr.. Towne, having
been used to get the Bryan kite a1oat on the
breeze Of demagogy. to be left hanging torn
and ridiculous over some telegraph wire? Re
ports say that the Towne men feel ugly toward
Mr.. Bryan because Of the desertion. and think
that since he was absolute master of the Kan
sas City Convention he was bound in good faith
10 secure from it the Endorsement of his col
league on the Populst ticket as well as himself.
It is all well enough for the Kansas City people
TO treat their allies with contempt now and say
that they've got TO vote for Bryan anyhow"
But how will they feel next fall if the POpullsts
insist on doing their voting for Mr. Bryan by
means of separate electoral tickets? The Popu-
lists may not care 10 be mere captives in the pro-
cession of allies whose spirit of alliance prompts
them to reject Mr.. Towne not because he is Mr..
Towne, but merely because he has been named
by the Populists. That does not show neigh
borly and cooperative spirit calculated TO
prompt self-sacrifce in Populsts.
Of course it is possible that Mr. Bryan in
his capacity as supreme boss may tell Mr.
Towne to stand aside. Perhaps he regards both
instruments existing solely for the promotion Of
his personal fortunes, and can OverrUle the
Populist conventions deliberate acts just as the
exigencies of his personal politics may make
advisable All of the Populists who do not
take that view of their function in life may
have Joined the Middle of the Road wing Of
that party. If so. the contempt for their Sioux
Falls allies which the Democrats display may
not be entirely without warrant. Mr.. Towne
seems 10 regard himself a poor worm, NJ d
has crawled out of the Silver Republican Con-
vention to make room for Mr.. Stevenson. But
it will be interesting to see if Mr.. Bryan is also
boss Of the Populist voters to the same degree.
Four wears ago in the States where they cid
not obtain fusion on electoral tickets they cast
216O0O votes for their own nominations. and
the rest Of the party may also grow tired Of
being despitefuy treated by the Democrats
who have stolen their principles
