neither there any life guards duty at that
point Bunero had not been in the sea long before
he became exhausted. He yelled for help, and his

ploye, rushed through the breakers to his assist
ance, but before they reached him he had drowned.
The body recovered Immediately and brought
to the beach, where several physicians worked
over 1t for some time. in vain.
II is singular coincidence, but the Beach Com
missioners at their meeting last evening decided
to organize a beach patrol at once and place the
patrolmen on duty at dangerous points along the
shore front. in order to avert accidents such as
occurred to-day. The patrol will not only aid the
regular life guards in rescuing bathers overcome
in the surf. but will arrest those bathers
who venture outside the life lines. The Common
Council will be asked to adopt ordinance estab-
fishing danger line in the sea Atlantic City has
n similar ordinance, and since its adoption and
enforcement the life guards that place have had
comparatively little work to do.

dered CAPSULES DESTROYED

sons were found in the stomach and intestines
Elias J. John a nephew of Mr.. Brown. testified
that his uncle was nervous on March Is. the day
OF his death; that he said he was troubled over
politics. but mentioned no other cause for disturb
ance. He said that the Recorder left no ante-mor-
TEN statement with him.
R. S Eckles. the chemist. who made the analysis
of the organs. said that the stomach contained no
cyanide Of potassium, morphine, aconite or any
form of morphine In the stomach walls there were
arsenic anthony and sulphonal; in the intestines
sulphonal dissolved. In the ntestines he found
suphona and corrosive submate. Neither
anthony sulphonal was an ineredi-
ent of embalmng fluid. The only i'm
portant changes from the normal were in the liver
and kidneys, he said. The changes in the liver
and kidneys could have been produced by the poi
sons, and might have caused DEATH but he would
not say that they did.

medicine was in the box he destroyed and that the
doctors had told him that the certificate of death
due to natural causes was given by the doctors
the direction of the coroner. Coroner McGeary to-
day declined to discuss the results of the nvestga

Black regarding the death certificate he said:
