Think Policeman
Victim OF Foul Play

Portland, Me-, July 3.-The funeral
of Reserve officer Mark G. Eolan of the
Portland police department, whose
dead body was found in the water
near pier /, South Boston, several
days ago and sent here for burial, was
held, yesterday morning. from the
Cathedral of the immaculate Concep-
ton and was largely attended.
Relatives and friends of Officer fo-
Ian are of the opinion that he was
fouly dealt with and that the story
first told that he had either made way
with himself or gone in swimming and
thus lost his life, is not true.
Relatives of the dead man say that
there was a bad bruse on one side
of the face and that his body was
badly bruised as if he had been in
scuffle. The feeling among his rela-
tives and friends in Boston as in this
city is that he was taken by thugs
and cruelty dealt with and after they
had taken his clothing off, threw him
into the water To give the impression
that he had either committed suicide
or lost his life while bathing.
Foian is known to have. carried
good sized roll of money with him all
the time and the fear of his friends
is that his habits may have oeen
known to crooks who followed and
fouly dealt with him during the night
and then threw his body overheard
realizing the condition they had left
him in and thinking that if he drown
ed the evidences of their brutality
would be covered up or that any
bruises that might be found on his
body might be attributed to some 9th
er cause and that in this way the de-
lection of the guilty cuprits could be
avoided

Yankees Athletes
Will Have to Fight.

New York, July 3.-The prediction is
made that European athletes will give
the United States team much harder
and closer battle for Olympic honors at
Berlin in 1916 than heretofore, by j.
W. Spaulding. vice president of the
American Olympic committee. As a
result of his observations while
abroad. Mr. Spaulding asserts that
American track and field performers
will have to compete up to the high
standard set in previous meets il they
are tn win the point trophies at the
next Olympic games. Athletes are on
an organized basis in the leading coun-
eds and trainers are rapidly bringing
the standards up to a point where
they compare favorably with those of
the United States.
The opening of the Berlin Stadium,
June S, marked the formal preparations
for the games of 1916, and France,
Germany, England, Sweden, Italy and
other countries are already planning to
wrest athletic supremacy from the
Americans at Berlin if possible. 1t is
the general opinion abroad, according
to Mr.. Spauldng, that even though the
United States wins at Berlin, il will be
by greatly reduced scores and that
1920 will find the Olympic games an abb
eolute open contest with at least three
or four countries closely grouped at
the finish.

a nonsuit of the lower court in the
