WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDES

As was stated in the Gazette, Ira Il.
Rawn, president of the Chicago,
indianapolis and Louisville Railroad
(the Monon route), died of a bullet
wound at his summer residence IN
Winnetka, fifteen miles north OF Chi
cago Yesterday. Members OF Mr.. Rawn's
family say he was killed by burglar.
The police are working on theory that
Mr.. Rawn killed himself.
As a basis for their suicide theory,
the police advance the following reasons;
They point to the Jact that Mr.. Rawn
was operating vice president OF the
Illinois Central Railroad at the time
fraudulent car-repair contracts we're
put through, 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 aid OF the
Chicago detective department to search
for the alleged murderer is suspicious.
The outcome of the investigation III
the Illinois Central contracts, tits said,
would have involved Mr.. Rawn at least
indirectly.
On two successive days last week
Mr.. Rawn begged for and secured a
postponement Of his examination as a
witness on a plea that his wife was ILL.
His examination was scheduled to be
taken up again next Tuesday.
Mr.. Rawn left the Illinois Genital
Railroad in November 1909, and be-
came president Of the Monon. Early
this spring the Illinois Central fraud
came to light. Though the investlga-
ton is not in such shape that any
criminal responsibility for the frauds is
fixed. it is declared that the railroad
regulations of some persons involved
would be ruined and their futures
practically blotted out

..,,e,e Rawn Nilled himself.

Chicago July characterization
into the mysterious shooting yesterday
~ Ira q Rawn, president of the
Manon Railroad at his Winnetka
summer home, is at an end SO lar as
the Chicago police are concerned. As,
sistant Chief OF Police Schuetller ana
Captain Stephen Wood, OF the chicago
detective department, announced 'o1ay
that they have rejected all theories oi
Rawn being killed by burglars '' IT.,
assassins or private enemy Inc
conclusion reached by them IS ulat
Rawn took his own life.
The attitude of the Rawn ian'lly'
who, the police say, did everything
they could to hamper a thorough IN
yestigation, helped considerably IN
reaching this conclusion. The police
saw there was nothing found that Woiiu
bear the story told by members OF the
family, that two shots were hred' OF
that forcible entrance had been maze
to the house. -.
The family, however, still MAINTAIN
that Rawn's death was not by his own
hand, and that he was killed IN Il
struggle with a burglar.
The police say that no trace OF a
second bullet can be found, and that
the bullet which killed Rawn hts the
revolver which he carried, and from
which one shot had been fired. Inc
marks on the doors, which NJ nrst
were supposed to have been made by
a burglars jimmy, were found TO ne
on the inside, and the supposed blood.
stains on the payment outside proved
IN he red paint.

GREAT UNREST IN SPAIN
Government Reinforcing Garri-
sons at Certain Points.

London, Nov 4.-Despite the Off
cial denial that there has been any
revolutionary activity in Spain it is
known here that the government is
heavily reinforcing the garrisons at
Barcelona, Saragossa and Sabadell.
Moreover, the troops sent into
these revolutionary centers are being
drawn from portions of the army that
are recognized as intensely loyal to
Alfonso and still uncorrupted by the
Republican agents.
In the meantime a strike has been
ordered all over Spain and the order
is being generally obeyed. Thou
sands of workmen have laid dowr
their tools and business is being great
1y depressed.
A dispatch from Madrid says that
the Republicans have been tampering
with the garrison at Badajoz in ar
effort to win the soldiers over to the
revolutionary cause, High officials
are said to have been implicated ir
the plot, Mayor Santos being under
arrest for trying to gain the officers
consent to the revolt.
