POLICE UNABLE TO FIND CLUE ID
 DROWNED MAN

Up to a late hour this afternoon the body of the man found under A. W. Burritt Lumber company's dock in the Pequonnock river last evening has not been identified, but Captain Cronan, chief of the detective bureau emphatically denied that the dead man was in any way connected with the murder of the unidentified woman whose body was found last Monday morning.
 The body was that of a man ap- parently 35 years of age and colored. He was of the laboring type and to all appearances was employed as coal beaver When found by Special Officer Matthew Beck, the body was under the dock and while in a badly decomposed state was not beyond recognition.
 According to Dr. S. M. Garlick, the medical examiner and Dr. Weis of the Emergency Hospital, who was called when the body was found, the man is white, but the police officials claim that the man is colored.
 ] The man was attired in a grey shirt, black trousers and heavy tan shoes He wore no hat or coat and a search of the river bank failed to reveal either. The only thing which he wore which could in any way lead to his identification was badly worn sea, ring, but the monogram was so worn that it was impossible to make out the initials.
 | The body was not marked in any way to indicate foul play and there is nothing to show that he committed suicide which leaves the other a1terna- tive, that of accidently falling into the water and either being under the in- fiuence of liquor or being unable tc

 Five feet of water stood in the ships engine room and she was rap idly separating. The prevailing wind, southerly, affords little or no chance of saving the ship, the lighthouse keeper reported.

 As he went around to the rear of the building he saw a shadow on the curtain of a room that was brightly lighted that he thought was that of his wife. He went up the fire es- cape and peered under the curtain that was raised a slight distance and saw his wife dressing and Boles sit ting on the bed. He saw the couple as they left the hotel and then as they drove down the street. He only saw her twice more, once in the lat ter part of December and when he went on December 3 with a man named Murray to get his clothes from his home. Mrs. Bullard opened the door and after asking who Murray was, spoke insultingly of him. Bull lard then told her he was through with her and she told him she had not been a wife to him for more than two years.
 Officer John Dougherty of the po- lice force of the town of Harrison, whose beat was around the railroad station, testified to seeing Mrs. Bull lard in Harrison several times and that he also saw Boles about the same number of times and never one with out the other He stated that the frequency of the visits occasioned much comment

The Ice Man
Gives Weight Weights
and Measures Law.
By EARL GOODWIN.

This is the ice mans season. and in view of the fact
that ice going be and high let urge Congress
make haste to pass the Crosser BILL making it illegal to
sell ice and other commodities by anything but weight Con-
siderable short weighing has been accomplished in the past
through the careless practice of ordering ice by the piece
Our habit is to tell the ice to bring in 10cent pieces
or '25-cent piece" This allows the ice to give you
any sized piece he wants to give you
But you ask for twenty pounds the law requires that
he give you twenty pounds and charge youfor twenty
pounds If he gives you any less than twenty pounds he
charge you only for what you get Otherwise he must
pay fine.
The Crosser bill allows ice and coal to be sold by weight
only No more vague and variable 10cent pieces of ce
will be permitted; 5Ocent bags Of coal" Every
thing must be weighed exactly and charged for properly
understand that Chairman johnson, of the District
Committee of the House, and Congressman Crosser
operating on the latters bill for revised weights and
measures and trust they will find early chance to
bring up the measure for passage in the House.
It is badly needed Complaints reaching me, as
we'll as the District authorities that certain ice
fusing to deal with people who ask for ice by weight This
not general practice but there enough complaints
to make it serious.
Food Administrator Clarence Wilson may find it
sary to license the larger ice dealers He thus keep
check on the practices Of ice whose volume Of business
allows them to come under Government scrutiny.

A FEW weeks ago q woman
~ sent me what purported to
be the story Of her life pre-
sented in the form Of a George
Ade fable. l read it, took it for
a bit Of fiction, and laid it aside.
Yesterday l received from an
other part Of the country a letter
from another woman which told an
almost identical experience. The
only difference was that the first
was couched in the form Of a flip
pant narrative, while the second
made no effort to embellish what
to the writer was a tragic fact
This is the fable:
There was once a Human Sau-
sage who, in his thirty-ninth au-
tumn decided that it was up to him
to impose his special brand Of
kultur on some unsuspecting
Bunch OF Floss and make her very
happy.
CLARA May fell for his specifca-
tions. She was twenty-five and
sophisticated, which means she
had come to realize that to foxtrot
divinely does not necessarily imply
serious intentions. Here at last
was something solid, not to say
stOdgy. AS a romantic ideal, Fran
els X. Bushman or Lou Tellegen
may have had It on him by several
shades, but good provider' was
branded all over him. He was in
business for himself. and diffused
an aroma OF blended sterling citi-
zenship and Liver and Onions.
Planning Ahead.
"Clara May had a mental
bird's-eye of herself as the plump
matron in one of those home and
fireside scenes depicted by the ad-
vertiser of oil heaters and en-
cyclopedias. She had herself all
set for the role of thrifty little
housewife, and had already begun
to plan the pleasant surprises she
would spring on him when he
came home tired and hungry to
dinner. She bought a cook book
and pestered all her married

dicious and economical ways Of

Futile dreams! Somewhere in
those thirty-nine bachelor years
Of his the Good Provider had run
across the aphorism, "A man is as
prosperous as his wife will let him
be- and it took. Hardly had the
strains of the wedding march died
away before he started to dig
himself in against attack.

Workers that need two days week for spending just
will find when this ends that they will have plenty
of leisure TO DANCE.
In days of peace the days work should be eight hours
and no more.
And as regards of payment the days work should
be figured eighthour basis and more, in
time.
But it is poor man who will confne himself to eight
hours day. to ve six days week. when every extra
hours work that he puts in helps his country helps his
friends and brothers on the other side.
