Bankers association which was held
today, show that the bill of lading
problem will be one subject of first
Importance before the delegates.
The bankers asked for a bill of
lading which would make the car
riers issuing responsible, so that it
would be safe negotiable instru-
ment.
The shippers represented were
equally anxious for solid foundation
and the Importance of the question
was emphasized by Henry Dunlap,
president of the New York Mercantile
exchange, who declared that if the
bills of lading were not used as a
basis of credit, 'the business of the
country would come to a standstill or
else become concentrated in the hands

Suicide Is Declared a
Physical h7oossibihty
on Body of Sutton Shows
That Fatal Shot Was Fired
From Fiue Feet Distant

that no bones were broken, although
confusion was found over the right
eye.
Mrs. Sutton has contended that her
sons arm had been broken in the
fight which preceded his death, and
that this being the case, the shot
which ended his life could not have
been self-inflicted. Dr. Tulley Vaughn
of this city, who represented Mrs. SUIT
ton at the autopsy, said tonight that
the bullet wound which caused his
death was three inches agove the ear,
and was clean cut
There was no indication that the
hair and scalp had been burned by
powder. Surgeon Speer, who repre-
sented the navy department, declined
to make statement, saying he would
report direct to the department.
Attorney Vandyke, associate coun-
sci for Mrs. Sutton, said he was con-
vinced that the shot had been fred
at least five feet from the officers
head and that the wound showed con-
clusively that it was a physical Inn
possibility for Sutton to have fired
the shot.
After the autopsy, the body was
placed in a new coffin, provided by
the government, and was reinterred
in the same grave after the ground
had been consecrated by Rev. Father
Alonzo Olds of st. Augustine's Cath
olic church, this city.

The next observation was made at
1925. The next two marches were
made in d dense fog. The sun was
sighted on the third of March and OBJ
seryation showed 1857.
The pole was reached April and
series of observations were taken
at so. Peary deposited his records
and hoisted the American flag. The
temperature was 80 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit. The pole appeared
as a frozen sea. Peary tried to take
sounding, but got no bottom at L.
500 fathoms.
Peary stayed at the pole for "a
hours and then started on his return
journey the afternoon of April Z.
On the return journey the marches
were continuous and Peary and the
Eskimos suffered greatly from ia
tigue.
They had their first sleep at the
end of the eighth march from the pole
in Igloos left by Bartlett. Here there
was violent snow storm.
On April %, the party reached the
vertical edge of the land ice west of
Cape Columbia. The Eskimos were
delighted to reach land and the party
slept for two days. They repaired
their sledges, rested their dogs and
resuming the journey, reached the
Roosevelt April 27.
Marvin left Peary on the way up
on Friday, March 26, to return to the
ship He had with him two Eski-
mos and IL dogs. The story of the
professors death was obtained from
one of the Eskimos. April 10, Mar
win was As miles from Cape Colum-
bia. He started out that morning
walking ahead. The Eskimos were de-
layed in packing the sledges, which
permitted Marvin to get a good start
