IDENTITY IF MAN REMAINS A BARRIER ID ALL
Coroner's Inquest Held Over Body of Man Who Fell Un-
 der Train Monday. No Pro- gress in Matter of Identity.

The curtain of mystery which the Fl Paso & Southwestern train of cars threw around what was once the puls- ing body. when it was mangled indes- cribably, has not been lifted To the contrary it appears to have deepened Many are those who are firm in the belief that it was not a case of acci- dent but Of deliberate suicide.
 The coroner's jury, under the direc- ton of George R. Smith, met yester- day in the office of G. W. Toman and rendered its decision which was-An unknown man came to his death by being run over by cars. Many wit 'nesses were examined, and the gen eral trend of their stories was the same
 Those who are inclined to believe the suicide theory have come to that conclusion on the evidence being ad- duced that the brakeman, in endea voring to warn the man, yelled so loudly that it could be heard on the 1 Copper Queen plaza There is one alternative in the matter The man may have been deaf Of this condi tion little or nothing is known owing to the fact that no one has been able to identify him.
 All during Monday night and all day yesterday various people in the district visited the morgue seeking tC identify the dead man. None could do so, however Many there wer, who said they had seen him about the streets but no one could recall his name or where they had seen him ! According to the undertakers he wal clad in reasonably good clothes Hi underclothes were clean and appeared to have been mended His socks als, had been mended The overcoat tha he wore was in fairly good condition
 Further investigation will be mad, into the case before the body is in tered

POTATOES RAISED FOR VODKA
USED BY POLISH HOUSEWIVES
BY WALLACE GOLDSMITH.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 16.-"The prohibit
ton of the use of vodka in Russia saw
ed the people of Poland from starva-
ton by releasing for their use the
enormous potato crops planted for the
distilleries," in the opinion Of Ernest
P. Bicknell, who has just returned
from Poland where he went on tour
of investigation for the Rockefeller
Foundation War Relief Committee.
The greater part of the Russian po-
tato crop was planted by the distillers
for making vodka, and when the ukase
of the Russian government PUT an end
to this, it was predicted that the phe-
nomenal potato output of this year
would be a dead loss to the growers.
The best potato land in Russia is in
Poland and the crop was being gath,
cred when Won Hindenmurg began his
rush on Warsaw, in the course of
which the country was laid waste for
miles. Fortunately for the Poles, the
ravages of war did little harm to the
great stores of potatoes safely slowed
away in underground caches. This
store now provides practically the
staple food for the Poles, and those
parts of Poland which raise no pota-
toes are being supplied by an effective
system of distribution arranged by
the Germans.

LONDON, April 16.-Only 122 pro-

1900 in the league teams have enlisted
in the Football Battalion, which was
organized for the express purpose Of
bringing this class of professional
athletes to the colors and of breaking
up a sport which is supposed to have
bad effect on the recruiting CAM
paign.
THE laxity of football professionals
and their following has amounted to
almost a public scandal" states Col
onel C. F. Grantham, commanding the
battalion, Il am aware and have proof
that in many cases directors and
managers of clubs have not only given
no assistance in getting these men to
join, but have done their best by their
action to prevent it. / will no longer
be a party to shielding the want of
patriotism of these men by allowing
the public to think they have joined

ELECTRIC PUMPS
WILL BE PLACED
At THE STATION
CITY COUNCIL FINDS WAY OUT OF
A DILEMA.

The huge electric pump, which was
ordered built last fall by the city
council, as then constituted, at q
cost of near $1,000, is to be shipped to
Americas and duly installed at the
plant of the Public Service Co. with
out further delay. Council has found
a way out of the delimia anent the
pump purchase, and as the new equip
ment is greatly needed the manufac-
turers will be instructed to ship the
pump without further delay.
This action has been taken at the
instigation of the Public Service Co.,
through its officers, who have propos-
ed to finance the deferred payments as
they become due.
When the Public Service Co. began
operating the city's water plant ul-
der terms of the existing contract the
steam pumps in place there were cou-
tinued in service until the electric
pump could be instaliec since that
time the cost of operation has been 50
great as to entail loss upon the con
tracing company which is now pump
ing the city's water supply at total
cost of approximately $500 per al
mum.
The company it seems, has the
power to increase this cost, but under
terms agreed upon with city council
at the recent meeting the contracting
company will finance the deferred
payments upon the electric pump in
order to get the use of it, and will
pump the water supply at current
rates for three years, very advantag-
eous offer for the city.
