MISSING BULLET
FOUND in ASHES
Wise Detectives Have Now Changed
Their Minds Again and Be-
lIeve Rawn Was not a
Suicide.
INVESTIGATION CoURTED
Insurance Companies Are Satisfied
and VIII Make no Contest
In Paying Their
Claims.

CHICAGO, Ill. July 22.-Important
developments late last evening
strengthened the theory that Ira G..
Rawn, president of the Monon Rail
way, was not suicide, but was muir
dered by midnight marauder. One
of the most important features is the
finding of second bullet. This is
highly important, as showing that Mr..
Rawn fired at the intruder. Failure
to find this bullet and the fact that
but one chamber of his revolver was
empty, has done much to brace up
the theory Of suicide 1t also serves
to show that he was slain with a
weapon of much larger calibre than
his own, as the bullet which ended his
life tore great hole near his spine,
where it emerged after passing
through the body.
The bullet was found, according to
G. H. Hately, who is conducting the
investigation, in the ashes in fire.
place, almost in direct line Of fire
from where Rawn's death resulted
Another feature is distinct change
in the attitude of the family. Up to
last night all representatives of news
papers and the Winnetka and Chica-
go police have been barred from the
premises, which were guarded by
Pinkerton detectives. This led to the
supposition thatsthe family had some
thing to conceal. 1t was argued that
II there had been murder the sur
vivors would welcome any effort to
investigate the crime and run down
the assassin. Last night representa-
tives of all the papers were invited
to the house and the local and Chica-
go police were also asked to lend their
assistance in unraveling the crime.
Still another important development
was private examination of the
premises, the body Of the slain man
and an examination of the servants
and neighbors by detectives said to
have been employed by the insurance
companies. These men, after many
hours work, announced they had no
doubt Mr.. Rawn had been murdered
and that the insurance companies
would probably not contest payment
of it's policies.
Coroner Holman announced this af
ternoon that he had received a conf
dental letter informing him that ne
gro murdered Ira G. Rawn, and that
the motive was robbery. The coroner
| refused to divulge the name of the
writer,

New One for Nicaragua Is Reported
to be an unfriendIy One to
The United
States.
NEW WAR MINISTER
zeIedon Is Bitterly AntI-American and
Is Expected to Continue
His Trouble
Raising.

WASHINGTON, July ga new
cabinet has been formed in Nicaragua,
according to cable advices received in
Washington from Consul Olivares at
Managua. Its personnel consists,
with single exception, of adherents
OF Zelaya and men who were officials
of the former presidents government.
Consul Olivares strongly intimates
that the new ministry is likely to be
unfriendly to the United States.
The personnel of the new ministry,
which was formed following the resig-
nation of Minister General Chico Baca,
is as follows:
Minister of government. Maximil-
iano Morales, subsecretary of the gov
ernment under Zelaya.
Secretary of state and public in
struction, Francisco Padilla of Rivas.
Secretary of the treasury, Francisco
Medina of Leon
Secretary of police and justice,
Maximiliano Morales of Grenade.
Secretary of public works, Leon
Arragon of Managua
Subsecretary of war, Benjamin Eel
edon, charge d'affaires Of Nicaragua
in Guatemala under Zelaya.
Zeledon's appointment seems to be
the most significant in cabinet of
! Zelaya supporters. Mr.. Olivares ad-
I vised that the new war minister is
bitterly anti-American, and is the
author of number of incendiary art
icles against the government of the
United States and American interests
in general, which have been published
recently in the censored press at
Managua.
DR.. Louis F. Corea, representative
of Madriz in Washington, has arrived
at Managua, the consul reports, but
any confirmation of the story that he
left peace proposition in behalf of
Madriz at Washington is as uncon-
firrned from the report as it is from
/ investigation in Washington.
| Modesto Barrios and Sebastian Sa-
| linas, the commissioners who have
been sent to this government bearing
what is reputed to be a proposition for
peace in Nicaragua, were due In
1 Washington today, according to an un.
official schedule. They had not been
received nor had they appeared when
Acting Secretary of State Wilson left
the department No official knowledge
of their coming is in possession of the
department and no arrangements
have been made to receive them.

says Bryan Is In Revenseful
Mood Against the Liquor
Interests.
PROHIBITION ON wANE
declares That the Drys Realize Now
That They are Practically
Defeated and Are on
The Run.

ST. LOUIS, July 22.-David s. Rose,
former Democratic mayor of Milwau-
kee. Wis. and one of the strongest
foes of prohibition in the United
States, spoke bitterly about William
Jennings Bryan yesterday. while in
st. Louis for a conference on the fight
against prohibition In Missouri.
"Mr. Bryan is out for revenge
against the liquor interests because he
believes they did not properly rally
| to his support when he was running
for president said Mr.. Rose. Mr..
Bryan has taken a stand in Nebraska
which Is working against his own in
|terests. He has in Nebraska brought
about the defeat of the thing he was
working for-local option"
Mr.. Rose, who left last night for
Chicago, has been appointed counsel
! for the newly formed National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers and Business
men. The organization expects to raise
thousands Of dollars to be spent in
combating prohibition and promoting
the cause of saloons under proper reg
ulation.
Mr.. Rose declined to explain his
mission in st. Louis, but he passed
ahis time while in the city comforting
with men prominent In the fight of
8the liquor interests. Mr.. Rose would
mot say what steps will be taken by
/ the new national organization of
which he is counsel. He said the or
ganization would exert its efforts in
every state In the union where the
liquor issue may arise.
Prohibition is on the wane" said
Mr.. Rose. The supporters of the
cause realize they are practically beat

ters largely into the political cam
paigns in Illinois, Texas. Nebraska,
Oregon. Minnesota. Pennsylvania and
other states
Mr.. Rose said he would visit many
towns In the states he named and
make lectures on the advantage of
properly regulated saloons. He said
he believed annual elections on the
local option question should be done
away with. He praised the Pennsyl-
vania laws regulating saloons. IN
that state, application for a license
must be made to a Judge in court. and
any one of Objectionable character is
refused license. Under the Pennsyl-

lating saloons is punishable by fine
