WHITMAN STILL MISSING
Finding of Suit of Clothes
Leads to No Result.

Port Washington, Long Island. July o.
No trace OF Or. X. ". Whitman, OF Louis
Vile, KY, was found here up TO a late
hour tonight. Although the finding of
a suit OF clothes containing several bank
books and letters belonging to the missing
physician on the trestle OF the Crescent
Sand and Gravel Works early to-day led
to the belief that he was drowned. the
fact that his hat, his outer shirt and un-
dergarments are missing adds TO the
mystery. Two letters found in the coat
would not indicate that the writer had
contemplated suicide.
Coroner Charles Il. Weeks, who notified
the parents and relatives Of the doctor In
Louisville said that one Of the letters
addressed to his sister read, in part:

Ign, in which Littman argued that he

he was a Jew, will uphold the former

The Governor, il was added here, re-
fused to comment on the recommends
tions made by Bendell. saying he would
not speak until the report had been off,
cally filed. IL is believed the findings OF
Lieutenant Colonel Bendell will be made
public to-day or tomorrow.
AS a result Of the Investigate ton into
tine Littman case, 1t is probable that
a wholesale investigation Of the national
guard in this state will be ordered by the
Governor, in order 10 determine whether
there has been discrimination In other
militia organizations because Of race or

/ In his report 10 Governor Suzer Lieu
tenant Colonel Bendell is said to recon-
mend, since discrimination against Lift
man has been shown, that another cleo
ton Of the company from which he re-
signed be ordered. and that II such an
election be not ordered, then the COM
pany DE disbanded and reorganized."

| How the members OF Company 3 who
