it's control of the Cleveland. Cincin-

cent of the outstanding stock issues Of

enough price for their holdings, but
the commission ruled that il was con-
eerned in nothing but the transporta-
tion phases and that complete merg.
ing of the Big Four with the New
York Central would be in the public

kiss body. after a life guard drew It
TO the beach. says that he believes
death was due 10 a powerful drug.
This appears to me" said DIR. Christ.
ian, ito be simply a difference OF
opinion between DOCTORS. ! do not wish
10 reflect upon Mrs. Hotchkiss her
family, or DR.. Donaldson. but I am
satisfied with my diagnosis and that IL
was well-planned suicide by poison
and not case of drowning"
DR. Christian saysy he believes Mrs.
Hotchkis was dead before the life
guard drew her body ashore. She had
been in the water fiteen minutes. He
said he was uncertain what drug had
been taken by Mrs. Hotchkiss.. This
he said could only be determined by
an autopsy.
He had examined one of the white
tablets found in Mrs. Hotchkiss'
pockethook. which she left in the bath.
house and il had no poisonous in
grediets.
Members of the Hotchkiss family
continued to believe that death fol.
lowed sudden immersion in cold water.
The Fairfield authorities have made
no investigation and intend to make |
none unless ordered by Coroner Phelan.
Medical Examiner McGarricl Of
Bridgeport win not make an autopsy
lnless he receives orders.

To See If People VIII
Stand for Rejection of
Presidents Plan
FOR SETTLEMENT
OF COAL STRIKE
There Is a Hint in Wash

Pressure Coming

that in their opinion both United Mine
Workers officials and spokesmen for the

eyading action on President Harding's

whether public opinion viii permit a
rejection Of the settlement proposal.
These officials declared that mean
time serious condition in the matter
OF public supply was likely to develop.
This is particularly true, it was added,
because Of the arrangement OF the
railroads serving non-union coal min
ing territory where output is continu-
ing
Only the force Of public opinion is
now available to back up the presi-
dents offer, and administration ad-
visers believed that public pressure is
necessary to secure action.

that the presidents proposal to rein.
state the wartime wage rate in case
arbitration Was accepted has induced
sharpest hostility.
a strong endeayor has heen directed
on the part Of the operators to secure
AZ least some concession in the presi-
dents offer before making acceptance
or refusal known.
The indications were to-day that
failure to secure action on the presi-
dents proposal would be followed by
new government move probably in the
direction Of exefting stronger author
~ than that Of presussion and sug-
gestion
