CHEMICAL WORKS
Friends Suspect Foul Play
as He Did Not Drink Body
Is Dscomposad

A badly decomposed body believed
to be that of Straits Mostrogeorge,
who was employed aboard a vessel,
was found floating under the Roes-
sler & Hasslacher chemical works
dock at the foot of Commerce street
about 8 o'clock this morning. The
man, who was about thirty years old
and unmarried, is believed to have
fallen from the vessel on which he
worked. Some of his friends suspect
foul play, as they declare he was not
a drinking man, and they wonder
how he could have fallen into the
water. Indications are that the body
had been in the water for at least
week. Decomposition had set in to
such an extent that friends could not
identify the body. From letters. and
papers found In the clothes they
learned that 1t was Mostrogeorge.
Coroner James J. Flynn has the body
at his morgue and is investigating.
The body was found floating
among some pieces of timber under
the chemical works dock by James
Carroll, of this city. The police were
notified together with Coroner Flynn
and they began an investigation, led
by Detective Sergeant Huff.
John Zayouanokis, of 421 Mechan-
ic street, who was recently fined for
running an alleged speak-easy and
was later arrested for gambling on
complaint of Alderman Clark, to-
gether with boarders from his place,
claimed the body to be that of Mos
trogeorge. They said he had worked
aboard vessel as a fireman, but
they did not know the name of the
boat nor the company for which he
worked They were loud in their
praise of the man, claiming that he
was sober and Industrious. He was
last seen by them on Wednesday or
Thursday of last week,
Letters written in the Greek lam
guage, which were found in the
mans clothes, were read by them,
after which they said he had rela-
tives in New York City whom Zayou-
anokis volunteered to notify. One
letter found in the clothes was from
L. J. Barret, of the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad Company, which
showed that Mostrogeorge had work
ed for that company during July and
had received check for S13,68.
Zayouanok1s said that Mostro-
george had always come to his board
ing house when ashore and that he
received all his mail there. Letters
found on the body were addressed
Straits Mostrogeorge, 421 Mechanic
street" Other papers found were
written or printed in English and
one was from the Chesebrough Man
Company. This appeared
to bear Mostrogeorges name In a
simplified way.
At the offices of the Philadelphia
& Reading railroad it was learned
this afternoon that Mostrogeorge had
worked as fireman aboard the tug
boat Tencoyd until July 23. He had
not been reported missing from any
other vessel and nothing was known
of his disappearance until the finding
of the body today.
