 Nature has built up a soil structure. cGaipped to carry off the few inches of annual rainfall permitted to this region. Man comes along and piles

Detectives investigating the supposed
suicide of Julian Plot. a Belgian whose

now working on the theory that the man

Cross.examination of residents in the

the fact that at no time had a revolver
been seen near the body. City Hall De-

Of the 39th street and Lancaster avenue
station, were unable to find any weapon
within q radius of square.
Nor was there pool Of blood surround.
ing the body when Il was found--a fact
which strengthens the murder theory.
What new evidence developed today broke
the suicide theory the police had held
since a note was found in the mans room
at t29 North 18th street, saying he in
tended TO commit suicide because of the
long absence of news from his parents in
Belgium.
The body Of Plot was identified by his
roommate, Manual Gascon, and his broth

WALTON TO GIVE FACTS

Mayor Smith, expressing pleasure at
the prompt and almost unanimous pas
sage of preliminary legislation looking to-
ward increasing the citys bonded debt
by S114,525,000, today instructed the
clerks of his department to lose no time
in preparing the necessary advertising to

who have to provide for the presidential
primaries to be held on the same date
In the event of both loans passing,
It will then be necessary to readvertise
Councils intention to act on loan bills.
This second advertisement will require
another month before, at regular sessions
of both branches of Councils the loan
bills themselves can finally be passed.
This somewhat cumbersome method of
obtaining funds for the operation of the
city government Is fully provided for by
acts of the Legislature, and those guild
ing the loans in their course intend taking
no chances on Short cuts" or time-savlng
devices that might later be questioned by
enemies of the loan in the courts
Following this second advertisement,
Councils will be called upon to ratify
the action of the voters. This probably
will not finally be done until the middle of
summer, n time when Councils usually has
adjourned for the annual vacation. The
next step after the final ratification of the
loan will be plans for the floating Of those
portions of the loans that 1t is intended
to provide for during the latter part of
the present year and the early part of
1917.
All questions put to Controller Walton
on loan subjects contemplate the floating
of but 100000 of the loan during the
first year. These figures result from the
fact that the city seldom floats bonds in
excess of that amount in any one year,
for permanent improvements. Whether
or not this figure will be exceeded will
be decided upon later.
