No estimate of the number of en-
ployes affected nor of the total slice
in the railroads payroll has yet been
made by the board, but figures dis
cussed in railroad circles place the cut
at between $350,000,G00 and 100000
600. Employees of nearly 100 roads will
be included in the boards decision of
June /, and ii was said that the per

quiry Despite Belief of Police
in Suicide Theory.

Pelletier to-day began an investigation
into the death of Patton G. McGilvary,

had found nothing to indicate that ne

have insisted that McGilvary had no
reason to commit suicide. From Madi-
son, Wis, the aviator's honH word
came last night that DR.. c. II. Bunt-
ing, pathologist of the University. OF
Wisconsin. and DIR. w, F, Lorenz, after
examination of the body, had ex-
pressed the opinion that he was mur'
dered.
Medical Examiner Timothy j. Leary,
who conducted an inquiry into McGil-
yary's death, although announcing no
formal finding as yet has expressed the
opinion that the case was one of sui
eide. He said he considered the murder
conclusion reported from Wisconsin
"an extremely unreasonable one to
draw"
Witnesses summoned by the district
attorney included Mrs. Evelyn Clifford
a friend of McGilvary, in whose mail
box on May 10, the day McGilvary was
killed, was foppd note which the po-
lice have regarded as a farewell mes

For Presidential Yacht
Steaming Away From
New York Pier
OLD "GRANITE STATE"
WAS DESTROYED
The Mayf1ower Threat
ened By Spreading of
Flames

New York, May 24--President Hard
ing to-day was on his way to Wash
ington on board the presidential yacht
Mayfower, which left her pier here late
last night. Early this morning,
message was received saying the craft
had passed Sandy Hook on a moonlit
sea that was made moderately rough
by a fresh northeast wind.
The yacht was accompanied by the
destroyer Truitt and the New York
police boat John F. Hylan escorted her
as far az the Narrows. The president
and members of his party retired soon
after going on board.
The departure followed day filled
with activity. From early in the
morning, when he attended cere-
mony in Hoboken to honor more than
5000 fallen war heroes whose bodies
we're there, until he had concluded an
address at the l25th anniversary Of
the New York Commercial club last
night, the president was busy.
But one hitch occurred in the pro
gram for the day This was caused by
a fire which practically destroyed the
third oldest fighting craft in the navy.
The Granite State, now used as naval
militia training ship. whidl was lying
near the presidential yacht, caught fire
when oil on the water about was fired
by spark from motor boat. Flames
swept about her and fire fighting APP
paratus had to be placed on the pier
at which the Mayflower was lying. The
Yacht was removed TO the foot OF soth
street, the pier OF the Columbia Yacht
club, where the presidential party
boarded her. After an all-night fight,
firemen had failed to-day to extingilsh
the flames in the blistered and black
ened hulk Of the Granite State.
Unable to board the warshlp because
Of heat and dense smoke, firemen had
to content themselves with fighting the
flames at distance and keeping the
fire from the docks and nearby build
ings.
Practically all of the 200 members OF
the naval reserve, who made their
home on board the vessel, lost their
personal effects in the flames.
