Galloway Lumber company, 100000 feet

Information received here from the viii

that many residents OF the district are

BRYAN No LONGER
RULES DEMOCRATS
Power and Influence Admitted,
but Not Absolute Control,
Says Josiah Marvel.

DENVER, Colo, July 21.-Josiah Mar
vel of Wilmington, Del, member Of the
finance committee OF the last Democratic
national committee, who was in charge
of the campaign OF George Grey OF Della
ware for the nomination for the presi-
dency. tonight gave out an interview in
which he says 1t is now time for all
Democrats to get together and advise
on the grounds upon which all can stand
in national policies.
Touching on the influence w. j. Bryan
will have. Mr.. Marvel said:
Mr.. Bryan will, of course, have great
weight in the councils OF his party but
his wishes should be considered as wishes
and not obeyed as commands. There is
no divine right OF domination in the
Democratic party. To the extent that his
principles and candidates appeal TO the
majority OF our party, he should be fully
sustained and approved, but when he goes
beyond this the duty OF the party to
itself TO proceed promptly TO lick him,
Mr.. Bryan is not infallble and his hon
esty and earnestness make his mistakes
the more dangerous, The leaders of our
party who disagree with Mr.. Bryan should
argue with him and not about him"
Mr.. Marvel stated that Judge Gray
would not again be II candidate
Mr. Marvel said that he believed the
next national convention would be held
in Denver. He based the statement on
sentiment expressed by national commit
teemen from the states east OF Chicago.

POLICE HOLD To
SUICIDE THEORY
Entirely Discredit Statement of
Family That Rawn Was
Shot by Burglar.

CHICAGO, July 21.-The Chicago
police have dropped the investigation
into the death of Ira G.. Rawn, presi-
dent of the Chicago, indianapolis &
Louisville railroad (Monon route), and
Herman Schuettler, acting chief Of po-
lice, today said that he was satisfied
that Mr.. Rawn had committed suicide
Mr.. Schuettler announced his decision
after long conference with the dctec-
tives who had investigated the Win
nctka tragedy. They declared all the
details pointed to suicide
Despite the withdrawal of the Chi
cago police, the private detectives en-
ployed by the, Rawn family continued
their investigation and steadfastly de,
clared that Mr.. Rawn was killed by q
burglar.
The suicide theory is believed TO
have been strengthened by the results
of an investigation by Coroner Hoffman
The bullet hole in Mr.. Rawn 8 night

and its appearance leads to the suicide

bloodstains In which there are what are
believed to be powder marks.
No Arrests Made.
While the detectives announced yes
terday that they expected to make an
important arrest today, no one was
taken into custody.
"My men have told me that as far
as they could learn only one shot was
heard by the Rawn neighbors," said
Chief Schuettler. "They also told me
that the muzzle Of the revolver was

BODY FOUND In HOTEL
IN B0URGES, FRANCE
Young Woman Made Every Pos
sible Effort to Conceal Iden-
tity Before Ending Life.

BOURGEs, Fance, July PA young
woman who committed suicide at
hotel here on July 13 is now believed
to have been Ethel Clara Leneve, the
companion Of DR.. Crippen. There are
striking points OF resemblance. Tie
woman was foreigner and gave tho
name OF Jeanne Maze. The police of
Paris and London have been notified.
Much mystery has surrounded the
suicide. Though posing as French
guest who arrived at the hotel shortly
before she killed herself was rot OF
French birth. When the Iifeless body
was discovered in her room every eff
tort was made to determine her identity
or to get some trace of her friends and
acqualntances. The suicide was young,
probably about % years of age, rather
slght In build, of prepossessing appear
ance.
When nothing could be learned re-
garding her antecedents the matter
dropped from public discussion only to
be revived today when the authorities
received from Scotland Yard photo
graphs of Miss Leneve, Crippen's typ
lst, who departed from London on the
day the police lost track of her en-
ployer,

Those who had seen the body recog-
nlzed in the likeness a remarkable sim
ilarity and directed the attention of
the police to the probability that the
suicide and Miss Leneve were one
Further inquiry strengthened this
theory and the local officials tele-
graphed their discovery to the police of
Paris and to Scotland Yard.
Before shooting herself the young
woman had written note, which read
as follows:
81 request that my identity be not
sought. The cause of my suicide is
known to me alone. / ask to be allowed
to rest TRANQUILITY in my tomb.
''I am a foreigner. I leave 100
francs to defray my funeral expenses. -
The note concluded:
Life to me, alas! appeared to be un-
smiling"
The young woman had taken tho
precaution to cut from her garments
every mark that might serve TO indicate
the identity of the wearer.

at Fortress Monroe, was appointed to the
artillery less than a week ago lie for
merly had been an officer in the Eigh
teenth infantry, but resigned and was
reappolnted 10 the army from civil life.
In the absence OF any report from an
official investigation board. officers of
the coast artillery can only compare the
explosion to some similar ones that have
occurred in the navy. The ajority,
however. appear to believe the explosion
was caused by carbon monoxidc high
ly inflammable gas which forms in the
barrels OF large guns and which is ospe-
cially dangerous in rapid firing. The
gun crew at Fortress Monroe was trying
to make a rapid fire record. The theory
is that the new charge OF powder was
hurried into the brccch before the gases
generated by the previous shot had time

be closed the powder exploded. blowing
