dollar Of operating expenses in 1927
were at prices fixed directly by the
government, or BY general market con-
ditions and over which the railroad
arrangements had No control. -

MIAMI SUICIDE
THOUGHT TO BE
BANKER SPURCIN
Later Efforts AT Identification
Made 1t Question AS To
First Suspicious

Miami, Oct 24.-While the body of
&C. Hayden" who committed suicide
in local hotel last Friday night has
been identified by one former Chico
goan as Warren c. Spurgin, abscond
ing Chicago bank president, others
who claim to have known Spurgin say
there is no resemblance between the
dead man and the missing banker
However. pending positive identiiica
ton of the dead man who left no pa
pers showing who he was or where he
came from, authorities are delaying
burial of the body.
w. ]. Bennett, now in business here
was quoted last night as saying h
was sure the suicide was Spurgin, but
he said today he had not seen Spur
gin within the last five years. The
last time he met the banker was in The
lobby of the Hotel La Sale in Chicago
and he said he knew Spurgin only cas-
ually.
On the other hand, J. II. Haley, who
has just arrived from Carbondale, ILL.,.
and who transacted his banking bus
mess in Spurgin's institution in Chi
cago, declares positively there is re
resemblance between. Hayden and
Spurgin.
The man who committed suicide
here weighed about 160 pounds, was
five feet ten inches in height and had
red hair streaked with gray. Spurgin,
according to a telegram received by
Sheriff L. A. Allen from Chicago au-
thorities, weighed 260 pounds, was six
feet three inches in height and had
black hair streaked with gray There
was nothing in the effects of the dead
man, no clothing labels or laundry
marks that could lead to his identifi-
cation with the exception of card of
the white Rats" organization in New
York. A telegram from New York
states that the white Rats" went out
of existence some time ago.

was reflected in the number of visit

Judge Chinn would order an immedi-
ate trial. II was believed that these

be impaneiled tomorrow and the TAX

was that counsel for the accused cou-
pie might ask for change of venue
