UNKNOWN MAN SUCcUMBS TO HEAT
Drops Dead in Bath Street Saloon Was Sitting at Table When stricken-Name Probably G. L. Mareaux, But Efforts to Identify Him So Far Unsuccessful.

oG. L. M" He had the letter e." tattoaed on the hack of his left hand and the letters e. NJ" were on the under side of his right forearm.
 The unknown man was about 5 feet 6 inches tall, of slim build, weight about 1S0-135 pounds, about 30 years old, rather anemic in appearance, with dark eyes and hair. Five or six of his teeth had gold crowns.
 He was fairly well dressed in a dark blue suit, wore a gray cap, white collar, black tie, white shirt with blue stripes. He had no registration card His only possessions were four pen nies, Waltham gold watch with cheap gold chain with monogram charm, gold seal ring. bunch of rusty keys, and a picture of g1 1oup of four men. One of the men in the group bears a | strong resemblance to the dead man. It was at first thought that he might l be connected with the carnival com pany that is showing at the battle | grounds, but one of the men from the company came to the mergue Thurs day night and after looking at the body said he did not know the man He was shown the group picture found in the mans packet and he picked out one in the group who he said was ar employe of the carnival company. Ht was asked to have this employe come to the undertaker's to see if he could furnish any information as to tho 1 identity of the unknown man.
 Dr. Lewis advanced the theory tha the man had probably had nothing tt eat all day, and as he was not of rug. ged appearance. was probably exhaust
 ed by the heat asd in his enfeebleC state collapsed

DAVIS THEATRE.
Dorothy Dalton in Photoplay.

Appearing in delightful character ization which, by her artistry, rises to the heights Of a distant achieve ment. Dorothy Dalton, the popular Thomas H. Inee star in Paramount pictures, w2s seen to splendid ad- vantage in her latest photoplay, 'The Kaiser's Shadow" at the Davis thea tre. Thursday. The photoplay. filled as it is with mystery, suspense, hu- man interest and heart appeal demen- strated it's popularity with marked emphasis as was evidenced by the general applause that greeted it.
 Miss Dalton gave highly artistic portrayal and lDr support was ade- quate in every respect. Thurston Hall was excellent as Hugo Wagner, a secret service operative parading as German spy. while Edward Cecil Leota Lorraine, Otto Hoffman and Charles French vested their respee- tive portrayals with realism born of experience and sound judgment. The
 phetoplay will add to Miss Dalten's
 screen fame and from every angle il is well worth seeing.

Although Bryan F. Mahan, former congressman, state senator, mayor and now postmaster of New London. has got until the 10th of September to comply with the order of the court of common council of that city to re- move the Bradley street structure owned by him. which by vote of the council designated the place as a nui- sance, unsightly and a menace to pub lie deceney. it is probable that he will seek an injunction against the city restraining it from compelling the en- forcement of the provisions of the vote.
 MT. Mahan has already declared l himself in statement that he does not propose to permit the members of l the court of common council to die tate to him in the matter and that 1 the passage of the vote was the work of some of his enemies in that body. | MT. Mahan has stated that he in- tends to fight the matter. the alter native being that he intends to repair l the structure. and to do so he must obtain an order through the court
 The vote of the council makes it
 compulsory that the structure be
 razed within 30 days after the is suance of the order to him and it is
 also mandatory that the order be is sued not later than the 10th inst

ARM BANDS FOR
 DRAFTEEs IN FUTURE
Temporary Captains Will Have Dssis-
 nation Meaning Special Police"

In the future all draft contingents will be equipped with insignia to iden- tify them as soldiers in the army of the United States, Major John Buck ley announced on Thursday. Each registrant leaving for camp will wear upon his left arm a band (the war department calls them "brassards'D with the letters ''U s. N A" Tenn porary captains of contingents and their assistants will wear a somewhat more elaborate designation. and they will also wear brassar6s marked "S. P" which stands for Special Police. The armbands, caps and other para phernalia will be shipped back to the local board when the drafted men ar rive at camp.
 The leaders of contingents will have authority to keep order on the trains and to search out. seize. confiseate, and destroy all intoxicating liquors found in. the possession of the men. It is understood that the new order came partly as a result of complaints from the war department that drafted men were procuring liquor too easily en route. and that in many cases their morale had been kept down for the first and in many ways most imPer- tant days in camp on account of the frequent over enthusiastic farewell parties given by their friends. Lead CTS of squads will carry with them 8 warrant of their authority signed by Provost Marshal General Crowder and counteraigned by the chairman oi their local board. They will be in struoted to report all cases of infrae- tion of the rules laid down for reg istrants on the journey to camp te the officer who will take charge of the contingent upon it's arrival at camp

Probably due to heat exhaustion, 8 man who is unknown, but whose name is probably c, L. Mareaux. dropped dead Thursday evening about 7.S0 o'clock as he was sitting at a table in the saloon of Williams & Keough st 21 Bath street. Dr. Louis T Cas- sidy was summoned as quickly as pos sible but the man was dead by the time he could reach there 'Dr. N B. Lewis, acting as medical examiner, gave permission for the removal of the body to the morgue of Under takers Cummings & Ring.
 According to what Dr. Lewis learned, the man walked into the saloah, sat down at table and suddenly it was seen that he appeared faint as he had fallen forward in his chair Martin Keough, one of the preprietors of the saloon, a once tried to give the sick man some brandy as stimulant while he had Dr. Cassidy telephoned for, but death was almost instantaneous and
 the arrival of the doctor was too late to render any aid.
 Policeman Barney Keenan assisted
 the undertaken in taking the body te l the mergue.
 What furnished a possible clue to l the identity of the man was the mono gram found on a ring and watch
 charm and the name of e. L 1 Mareaux,' which was written on a tae
 sewed on to the inside of the pocket of his coat. This showed that the
 coat had been made by A. Buxbaum

Careless Use of Soap
 Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very. carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsiied cecoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoenfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright. lustreus, fluffy and easy to manage.
 | You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few ounces will supply every mem Der of the family for. months.
