EFFORTS FAIL
TO FIND HOME
OF DEAD Man

Efforts to establish the identity OF
the man who committed suicide short
ly after midnight, Monday morning,
by jumping off fast westbound Penn
sylvania train as 1t was passing
through the Richmond yards, have
been unavailing up to the present time
railroad officials announced today.
A woman living in West Richmond,
a Mrs. Coulter, thought from the des'
criptions given of the suicide, that
the man might be her husband, who
disappeared from the city six months
ago and has not been heard OF since
but her father, upon examining the
body declared 1t was not Coulter.
Coroner Morrow thinks that posi-
bly, the suicide was man who had
become erazed by failure to secure
drugs he had been addicted to. He
has been unable to confirm this theory
however.
Last night a photograph of the dead
man was taken and it will be sent to
Dayton, O., for publication. 1t was
there that the man boarded the train
A railroad official said today that
possibly the suicide might be fugi
tive from justice. He pointed out that
the man had apparently taken every
precaution to prevent his identified
tion before killing himself. Laundry
marks had been removed from his
shirt, collar and underclothing and
Identification marks taken off his coat
and overcoat No paper containing
handwriting was found on his person

COUNCIL WRANCLES over SIS
FOR CHIEF COODWINS EXPENSES

Council has passed $4,000 and $780,
900 bond issues without batting an
eye, but when the question of ap-
propriating about SIS to defray the ex-
penses of Chief of Police Goodwin to
the American Police Chiefs conven-
ton, to be held at Newark, N. j., in
the summer, a prolonged debate en-
sued.
The welfare committee handed in a
report.
Two of the three members of the
welfare committee, Chairman Hand
ley and Wilkins, handed in a report
favoring the appropriation. The third
member, O'Neal, refused to sign the
report.
What advantage will there be in
sending Goodwin to this convention
The problems discussed will only per-
tain to those of cities of the first
class" said Carter.
Steinbrink Asks Cost.
whats 1t going to cost? Will we
have to issue bonds?" asked Stein
brink
Then Handley spiked the opposi.
tons guns. He dryly remarked that
cit was as appropriate for Goodwin to
attend the chiefs convention as it was
for the city councilmen to attend the
meetings of the Indiana Municipal
league, at the city's expense. Hand
ley also declared that Goodwin had
paid out of his own funds department.

to the city. 81 expect he has paid
out enough for departmental expenses

propriate for his expenses to New.
