AUTOPSY TO BE
 HELD ON BODY OF
 LINDEN HEED MAN
Fight on Barge in Harbor May Lead To Solving of
 Mystery

Whether or not the man taken from Cedar Greek was murder ed in Br1deeport harbor and his body thrown into the waters of the sound off Eayez ueather's Island near which 1t was found yesterday on the incoming tide was the sub ject Of the quest of Bridgeport police today. Though still unidentihed from his clothing and the tattoo ed by many yet pr0nounced strange characters by all, the detecttves to- day traced rumors that a possible fight had taken place on a barge in this port day before yesterday
 FolloN1ng reports top olies head eqnarters that VVatchnnan H&mer Foote $40 Seaview avenue and James Blrrhel. 43O W1lrnot a;venues both employed by the American Tube 6 Stamping Co, had distinctly heard sounds of an argument coming from a barge anchored off the Pe1nI6roke street dock, Detectives George Fox and George simon were sent this morning to investigate.
 After a mornings search Of the harb0r they reported that the inves- tigation had been EruftIess. other than to ascertain that there were bezges anchored in this harbor Thurs day night and Friday morning which had since left port.
 Captain William 1T. Lyon Of the stake-boat ..Ataantic's and Captain John Baker of the stake-boat Phoe- nix,'' who are on the alert during the early watches of the nnorntne. owing to the coming and going of barges from this harbor, both as- serted that early yesterday morning they had not been awakened by un- wonted noise Further search for
 
 source Of the row heard by the watchznem of the American Tube & 5tanaping%Co. Is to be made this af- ternoon.
 At the city naorgue. where the body is still on view to the public, it was in response to the articles published in the newspapers It is believed that only a few Of the people in the Hungarian colony Of the West End are acquainted with the facts of their countryman death and an effort will be made by the police today to mora widely disseminate the news The marks on his body are believed by some to indicate that he was once a sailor or a soldier in a foreign army, but none recognize them either as army or benevolent society marks
 Owing to the fact that nothing is certain regarding the cause of death. pr. s. M. Gar1ick announced that he would hold an autopsy upon the body at o'clock this afternoon. While refusing to acknowledge that external evidences indicated that the man had been strang1ed to death or his neck broken, the medical examiner said today with emphasis: There is so much uncertainty in this case, that it warrants the closest investigation and have already reported the facts tc, the coroner 's

Only Few Are Saved When French Cruiser
 Goes Down in Straits
'(csoutInued from Page 13

NS1OAsAA0Su rom EaS0 l3 sf at the door of the Bosphorus and six allied battleships now renewing the bonbardment of the Turkish positions on the Darclanez1es, the fate of the straits is today hanging in the balance, according to opinions freely expressed in London Nevertheless, reports from Turkish sources stfu profess supreme confidence n the egnabiIity of the defending forces which. it is claimed, have successfully sustained a bonn. pertinent extending over 2 1 days.
 The report of the British admiralty giving news of the sinking of three battIesh1ps. two British and one French, is rather hay as to the re- suits achieved by this sacrifice and it gives weight to the growing belief that the straits will not be won until the naval operations are supported by effective land forces. The bonn bardrnent of Friday was interrupted by bad weatt1ers but 1t is anticipated that the operations now will be push ed as rapidly as possible.

 That it was premeditated, the police insist is shown by the fact that every effort had been made to conceal the ownership of the weapon by filing and scratching off all the numbers which might later trace it through the pawnshops.
