THE M0N0N
 PRESIDENT Believed By Police to Have
 Committed Suicide ON THE EDGE OF DISGRACE.
RaWn Had Been Worrying Over An Investigation Which Is Set For Next Thursday = Convenient Episode of the Burglar

Chicago. July 2O-Ira C. Rawn, president of the Chicago. Indianapolis
 X Louisville railroad. (the Monon Route) died of bullet wound at his summer home at Winnetka early this morning. The members of the fam ily say it was the work of burglar The police are working on the theory of suicide The basis of this theory is the fact that RsWn was the oper- ating president of the Illinois Cen tral at the time the fraudulent car repair contracts were put through and that recently he had been drawn into the Illinois Central graft investi- gatiOn as the chief witness
 The police say that the action of Rawns relatives in refusing to aid in the search for the alleged mur- derer is suspicious They declare that there is convincing evidence that an intruder was actually dis covered in the residence.
 Friends and business associates say that Rawn had been looking badly for several weeks Some thought he was worrying over the conspiracy of the investigation. On two successive days last week Rawn secured a post ponemeat Of his examination on the plea that his wife was ilI The ex- animation was scheduled for next Tuesday.
 Rav'n left the Illinois Central last November to Become president of the Monon. Early in the spring the IT. linois. Central fraud came to light. At the first hearing before a master in chancery. Thomas Taylor. Jr, he tes- tified that the car repair contracts came under his supervision. He ad- mitted that he was responsible for farming out the ears to various re- pair companies.
 Rawn's son-in-law. R. G. Coburn, and R. C. Brnklue, assumed command of the investigation of his death from the start A number of private detec- tives were summoned hurriedly to Winnetka early. A number were sta toned at various points about the house and grounds. They were or dered to give no information to per sons making inquiries.
 The system was further complicated when a squad of employees of second private detective agency arrived. These are stated to have been ordered to make a full inquiry into the death. They visited the village police head quarters and talked to numerous resi- dents of Winnetka. For a time it was believed that they were employees of the family. But when they went to the Rawn residence they were repulsed by the others. A brief altercation ensued and the members of the Rawn family were called to settle the dispute. The members of the second squad were told that they were not wanted and for a time it was rumored that an insur- ance company carrying S100.000 on Rawn was their employer. but the re- port is denied. Then it was stated that they were employed by railroad inter- ests
 Several neighbors of the Rawn resi- dence state that they heard single shot at 10 o'clock on Tuesday night but none on Wednesday mofning.
