Are Planning the Formation of Ma
tional Association.
MEN OF PROMINENCE HERE
Representative of Several western
States Present, the Meeting Be-
ing COincident with the
j. i }sl-4.--.,, SaenRerfest.s -..st.ls IT, ~

Thursday morning was the time set for
the opening session of the tenth annual
convention of the German American Press
Association Of the West which is meeting
in convention with the Saengerfest The
exceedingly long practice which the singers
held at the Auditorium and the fact that
at late hour last night the place of meet
ing was changed from the -6ome hotel to
the German Maennerchor hall at 1920 Far
nam street and proper announcement had
not been made, prevented tn transaction OF
any business in the morning.
The association, which comprises most of
the editors Of German papers in the states
of Nebraska Iowa. South Dakota Mime
sofa. Illinois, North Dakota and Missouri,
and has about seventy-five members, has
been in existence over ten years. At the last
convention a start was made toward the for
nation of a national ASSOCIATION of German
newspaper men, and invitations have been
sent all over the country to these men to
meet with the western association. AS a
result. many of these men are in the city
and before the convention tdjourns there
ls every prospect that it will be resolved
into a national organization. Adolph Peter
son OF Davenport Ia. the president; Valen-
tine Peter Of Otnahc the first vice president,
and Henry Helm of Muscatne, Ia, the sec
retary, have peen unLrlng in their efforts
to bring about this result
ANNOUNCEMENT Of the change Of meeting

RAWN'S DEATH IS SUICIDE
Chicago Police Announce that Rail-
road President Killed Self.
FAMnY'S STORY NOT CONVINCING
Dead Man Was Chief witness In IIIi-
nOis Central Graft Inquiry and
the Matter Seemed to Weigh
ON His Mind.

CHICAGO, July 2L-The Chicago police
have dropped the investigation intos the
death Of Ira G. Rawn, presiden. of the
Chicago, indianapolis & Louisville rail-
road (Monon route), and Herman Schuett-
Ter, acting chief of police, said today that
he was satisfied that Mr.. Rawn had com
Tnitted suicide Acting chief Schuettler an
nounced his decision after a long confer
ence with the detectives who had
Investigated the Winnetka tragedy. They
declared all the details pointed to suicide
Despite the withdrawal of the Chicago
police, the private detectives employed by
the Rawn family continued their invst-
cation and steadfasty declared that Mr..
Rawn was killed by burglar.
The suicide thory is believed to have been
strengthened by the results Of an inves-
tigation by Coroner Hoffman.
Th bullet hole in Mr.. Rawn's night gar
ment had been carefully examined and its
appearance leads to the suicide belief. The
hole Is surrounded by blood stains in which
there are what are believed to be powder
marks.
While the private detectives announced
yesterday that they expected to make an
arrest today, no one was taken into Gus
tody.
What the Police Say.
AS basis for their suicide theory the
police advance the following reasons:
They point to the fact that Mr.. Rawn
was operating vice president of the ILL
nois Central railroad at the time fraudu-
lent car repair contracts were found there.
and that recently he has been drawn into
the Illinois Central graft investigation as
a chief witness They say that the action
of Mr.. Rawn's relatives in refusing to
aid the Chicago detective department to
search for the alleged murderer is sus-
piclous
They, declare that there exists lack of
convincing evidence that an intruder had
actually been in the Rawn residence.

MONTREAL. July 2l.-"Freight" contin-
ued to be the slogan and the problem in
the Grand Trunk railway strike today.
The 5000 striking conductors and train
men continued to be conspicuous by their
absence not only from their posts which
they left Monday night, but from public
view anywhere. Their leaders, speaking
for them, reaffirmed that all are quietly
awaiting an expected time when the rail-
road will find resumption of its freight
business impossible and will make such
wage overtures to the strikers as will in
duce them to return.
At company headquarters, however 1t
was stated that the strikers had been elm
mated from the situation. A birdseye view

Portland, Me-, to Detroit and in New Eng
land, showed a distinct Improvement in
conditions, 1t was said. 1t was predicted
that many important essentials toward re-
sumption of shipping would be worked out
during the day.
From the viewpoint of many cities and
towns affected. the freight situation is in
creasingly serious. Ice companies are un-
able to get ice. The Canadian Pacific is
avoiding possible trouble by refusing to
run ice cars on Grand Trunk sidings, and
much perishable freight seems doomed to
destruction. At Stratford. Ont, 200 men
