STRANGER SLAYS SELF
UNKNOWN COMMITS sUcIDIE IN
 MOBILE.
Shot Through the Heart the Cause of Death Body of Unknown Young Man Found Near
 Theodore.
Advertiser Bureau,

MODlle, Dec. ~.
 William J. Bowen, aged about 60 years, and a stranger in Mobile, was found on the floor of his room, on the second noor of No. l09 St. Emanuel Street. at 7:3O this morning, with a bullet hole through his heart The body was discovered when The woman of the house opened the door to allow electrical workers to enter the room to do some wiring. She thought the man had gone out to church.
 Bowen went to the residence not quite three weeks ago, saying he was in Mo bile in search of health. He was always neat in appearance, quiet in manner and being a Catholic, attended church quite often while an inmate of the house. He took his meals out. Nothing by which the mans identity could be ascertained was left by him. The fact thai he spread several newspapers on the floor, folded a pair of trousers for a pillow and was ly- ing on the paper. his head on the impro- vised garment and the pistol by his side, showed beyond doubt 1t was a premedi- tated suicide.
 Coroner Hirshfield was notified as soon as the discovery was made He viewed the body and interrogated the inmates, and concluded 1t was self-destruction. The body and the dead mans effects were removed to an undertaker's establishment. Where he came from Is unknown.
 Corner Hirschfield this afternoon made a complete and thorough search of Bow ems clothes, but failed to find anything whereby to identify him. Ills destruction of every vestige of evidence which might lead to knowledge of his history was most complete. The remains will be inferred at the expense of the city.

the shipbuilding company. the assets of the company including the shares of the steel company will greatly exceed the total amount of it's remaining debts and obligations and will be ample not only to pay the bonds secured by the mort gage to the New York Security and Trust Company. but all other claims whatso- ever. besides a substantial dividend upon the stock of said shipbuilding company"
 He ayers that neither he nor his asso- ciates conspired with the dummy di- rectors" cf the shpbuilding company to have Inserted in the mortgage to the Se- curity and Trust Company and in the charter of the shipbuilding company pro- visions which would give him or them absolute control of the shipbuilding and steel companies with the power to man. ipulate the corporations so as to cause default in the payment of interest. there by defrauding creditors. stockholders and bondholders of the shipbuilding company.
 Mir. Schwab denies that the amendment to the shipbuilding company's charter gave him or his associates a voting pow CT equivalent to $50, 100000 out of a total of $55,O GOO. MT. Schwab said that he and his associates had nothing to do with the withholding by the Bethlehem Company of the dividend payments on the 3O0000 shares of the stock owned by me ShlppmiulnS company lor the pur- pose of wrecking the latter concern.
 After specifically denying any and every charge of fraud unlawful combina- ton. conspiracy or wrongful act in his connection with the affairs of the Beth 1ehem Steel Company and United States ShipbuiIding Company. Mir. Schwab de- tails the history of his relatioEs with the two concerns. He says that after making B contract for the purchase of the entire capital stock of the Bethlehem Company, he communicated with J. P. Morgan & Company. stating that he was willing to turn over the contract to the United States Steel Corporation without any profit whatever"
 Morgan & O., assumed the contract as syndicate managers with authority to turn it over to the steel corporation. If, however the Morgan firm disposed of it to other parties, MT. Schwab was to re-

ceive the greater part of the profit
 Last April George R. Sheldon and Charles W. Wetmore of New York repre- senting a syndicate which had purchased S13. .O5O, 600 of the bonds and stock of the shipbuilding company. conferred with MT. Schwab looking to reorganization ot the company.
 MT. Schwab said he desired to take back the Bethlehem stock, returning to the Shipbuilding Company the bonds and stock he had received. Subsequently for that purpose he purchased from J. P. Morgan & Co.,, $5000,0O0 of stock which had been delivered to them for the United States Steel syndicate and arranged to acquire all the remaining bonds and stock Mir. Schwab adds:
 ''I was then and have ever since been and am now able and willing to return all the securities received by me or by whole transaction, and I hereby tender the same for that purpose"
 Messrs Sheldon and Wetmore declined to consider such a proposition, as they stated the principal valde of the whole enterprise consisted in the Bethlehem company Mir. SciTwab says:
 'I was then willing and have ever since been willing as have repeatedly stated, to agree to different plan of reorganiza- ton IT the nrSL mortgage DOnunOlueTS would provide the assessments necessary and furnish working capital for the ship building plants the bondholders retain ing a first mortgage lien upon the ship building plants
 ''As to the charges in the cross bill that I acted in collision with the re-organiza- tion committee of the shipbuilding com pany in an attempt to force the insol- vency of said company and to wreck It., aver that such charges are not only false and malicious. but were made with out Justification and in disregard of facts well known to the cross complainants. I aver that James Smith, Jr., receiver of the shipbuilding company knows that such charges are untrue.
 'I am informed and believe that upon such an examination and appraisal 1t will appear that the net working capital of the seven constituent companies exclud- ing the Bethlehem, does not exceed the sum of $1 ,5OO,0OO; that great part if not greater part thereof may be wasted and lost by the continuance of the Receiver- ship and that such shipbuilding plants cannot be operated and kept working as going concerns without the addition of very large sums of money as necessary working capital"
 Mir. Schwab closes his defense by deny ing every charge of fraud, wrong doing unlawful combination and confederacy and 'humbly prays to be hence dismissed with his reasonable costs and charges in this behalf most wrongfully sustained"
