Capt. Foster of Harvard expressed

Chicago, Ill, July 1.-THE mystery
in the death of James Petit, whose
financial difficulties came to light last
night. was probed further today when
interested insurance officials asked
Deputy Coroner Conrad Of Waukegan
for his opinion Of the inquest
and the post norton examina-
ton to determine whether the death
was from drowning as was reported
or some other cause.
Meantime the news that the late
rep,ited millionaire grain dealer, presi-
dent of the Peavey Grain Co. had been
In financial straits caused a stir In
IaSalIe street and a meeting Of a
Of bankers having the dead
brokers affairs in hand, was called.
The committee will endeavor to
learn the exact amount OF Pettit's
debts, variously estimated at from
$3.50 900 to twice that amount.
Close upon the death of Petit, who
was found dead from drowning in
Lake Michigan, near the Lorraine hotel
Saturday morning, came the an
of the retirement from
business of the firm of which he was
president and general manager. Last
night a number Of kilograms were sent
out by the Peavey Grain Co. to its
agents and customers all over the
country. 1t was stated that owing to
the death of Mr.. Petit, the company
had decided to retire from the COM
mission business in Chicago.
The Peavey Elevator Co., which is
a separate corporation and whose
trademark (Pv), may be seen on the
elevators of almost every agricultural
center in the country and lake and
Mississippi steamboats,, is not affected
however. The retirement of the grain
company, followed meetings Of the
OFFICERS of the First National bank,
Corn Exchange National bank and
possibly other Chicago financial in
stitutions yesterday afternoon. The
tragic ending OF Mr.. Pettit's life is
said to have significant bearing on
this action. It is pointed out that the
inquiry was set afoot by the banks
on the first business day following his
death.

BURKE'S AMBITION
DEPLORED BY DENIS.
CONGRESSMAN HAMMOND DOES
NOT LIKE IT BECAUSE
5URkE's IN THE
RACE.

Washington, July 11.-Representa-
tive Hammond of Minnesota has re-
turned to Washington after several
weeks at home. He notes with inter
est the strong sentiment for Speaker
Clark at the recent conference Of
democrats Of the northwest, and 1t is
clear to Mr.. Hammond that the wes-
tern states are looking on Clark as a
presidential possibility.
There was strong sentiment for
Clark" said Mr.. Hammond, among
all the members Of the st. Paul con-
ference and much of 1t cropped out in
private conversation"
The conference also -deplored the fact,
according to Mr.. Hammond, that Gov
ernor Burke OF North Dakota would
certainly be pushed for the demo-
cratic vice presidential nomination in
case the presidential nomination should
go to the east.
