WAS A NATURAL DEATH.
Inquest Over Body of Robert Lem
mon Exonerates Ray Clifford.

AS the result of the verdict of the
jury which investigated the cause Of
the death Of Robert Lennon, Ray Cliff
ford and Benz Farrier. who were held
pending the investigation, were dis
charged from custody yesterday. The
verdict Of the jury stated that death
was not due to the effects of a drug.
but to natural causes.
The lungs of the man were congest-
ed resulting from an attack of pneu-
monia, according to DR.. Mayo. and a
fatty degeneration of the heart was
caused by excessive use of liquor. No
traces of a drug were found. and the
story as told by the Clifford woman at
the time of her arrest was verified
Both she and her companion, Farrier.
have been discharged from custody.
Notwithstanding the results of the
autopsy, DR.. Geisy. who attended Lem
mon before his death. still maintains
that he died from morphine poisoning.
He asserts that there were unmistaka-
bic evidences of the poison before the
mans death, and he still stands by his
diagnosis of the case.

MISS IVY DIX
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1903-01-03

Editor Chicago Eaglc-GOOd for you.
In opposing the passage of the water
meter ordinance you have hit the nail
on the head. IT there II not meter
ring In the Council. all reasonable
signs and indications are surely ut
fault. and the public Is very much
mistaken. for I scan assure you 1t IL
the general opinion that there Is. l
notice that of all your daily contcm-
porarics but one oppose the water
scheme cditorially. and that journal
seems to have missed the main point
of your opposition.
1t says that the property owners
will not he buricncd with the expense
of purchasing the meters, and that the
city will gradually purchase and in
stall them.
This, so far rs the expense of the
purchase of the meter is concerned. IL
an argument which amounts to the diff
ference between twccdlcdum and twec-
dlcdec. If the city pays for the meters
IL will do so with the taxpayers
money. But the main point which. In
my humble Judgment, you make. Is the
hardship which such an ordinance
would entail on property owners In
the shape of increased taxation. The
property owner would he placed ab-
solutcly at the mercy of his tenants if
the water supply was to be by meter
Wastcfulncss on the part of tenants
could not bc prevented by him, but II
would. of course mean enormous in
crease In his water tax. He would he
forced thereby tO increase his rents so
that after all the main burden would
have TO he borne by the fat-ronting
tsnants In other words. what Is called
the working CLASSES.
Then again Il would. rs you have
well said, tend To restrict the free use
of water. which In city like Chicago
would he little short of II calamity.
Keep on pcgging NJ this outrageous
measure until you knock II out. II Is
plain that the outcry about waste Of
water was intended to lead to II re-
vivnl Of the old water meter Ordi-
nance which The Eagle helped to put
asleep over II year ago, and which now
rcpOscs In some pigeon hole of one of
Inc Council committees. In drawing
attention to this you have already done
good work. Yours respectfully.
