Medical Examiner Lyon Be- lieYS Foul Play Caused
 Death of Transient
CHIEF HART DISAGREES
 WITH IDEA OF HOMICIDE
Head of Police Department Says He Has No Conviction - Authorities Unable to Get Fingerprints to Con- nect Victim with Murderer Want cd in Frankfort, N. Y.- Death
 Closes Lips of Hospital Patient.

Medical Examiner Waterman Lyon stated today that 1t is his be- lief that an unidentified man who was found unconscious on the railroad tracks near Russell & Erwin's last Wednesday night and who died late last night at New Britain General hospital, was killed with a hammer or other blunt instrument.
 Lyon Discusses Murder Theory
 While the medical examiner would not say definitely that 1t could not have been anything else, he said all indications seemed to point to the fact that the man was struck by an instrument such as hammer or heavy bolt, rather than being struck by train.
 The fact that the body showed no other injuries, beyond a slight abra- sion on the lower left side, that there were no bruises or decorations on the face or elsewhere would ind1- cate that the mans death came from some other injury rather than by train.
 Death was due to a compound de- compressed fracture of the left temporal and occipitaL In frac- turo such as one which might be caused by being struck by train, Dr. Lyons pointed out there would be a number of slight cracks run ming out from the main injury like the lines of a spider web. In this case there were no such lines, the one blow having caused what might be described as a "hole In the head The inner shell of the skull was partly splintered and a trephining operation was performed to remove {Continued on Page 15)

JARDINE AND YOUNG
 COOLIDGE VISITORS
President to Hear of Dept. of Agri- culture and of General Busi-

Paul Smiths, N. r., Aug. 21 UP,- Secretary of Agriculture Jardine, and Owen D. Young, member of the Dawes commission on German repa- rations and chairman of the board Of the General Electric Co.,, were among those with whom President Coolidge had engagements today.
 With the secretary the chief ex- ecutive desired a discussion of de- partmental affairs. and from Mir. Young he sought a report on gen. eral business conditions. Although agriculture is the chief interest of Mir. Jardine's department, it is vested with supervision over the national forests and roads, and other public properties involving the expendi- ture of considerable sums annually.
 MT. foung's visit, it was explain cd at the summer executive offices, was in line with the calls other bus mess men have made and are to be made at White Pine Camp before MT. Coolidge's return to Washing ton, tentatively set for September IS. The chief executive seeks to learn from those callers the pro- gress of business and to obtain from them suggestions which might be helpful in improving the situation, not only from the viewpoint of the producer but of the wage earning consumer.

Forest Destruction Is
 Harmful to All Life

Ithaca, N. Y, Aug. 21 tPl-Whole- sale destruction of forests has changed the diet of animals, harmed the fish in lakes and streams, and threatened generally the delicate balance between the lives of plants. animals, and man, said E. N. Munns of Washington. D. C., before the in- ternational plant congress today. Representing the United States forest service, MT. Munns said that to attack the problem of preserva- ton of timber resources from the standpoint of biology, geology, path ology and kindred subjects, the gov ernment should establish special re- search fellowships. They would, he sail, enable the service to recruit the highly trained men needed.
 All growing things, MT. Munns as- serted, suffer by the cutting of for ests. The disappearance of nut bearing trees forces animals to change their diet to seeds and buds, The wiping out of large timber stands raises the temperature of the water in the streams and lakes, re- sulting, he added, in harm to fish which require stable temperature for egg matching.

 Probe Being Continued

specualtor. N. T., Aug. 21 tP- Word reaching here today that Jack Dempsey will set out tomorrow night from his Saratoga lake train ing camp to establish new quarters at Atlantic City, caused no comment Tn the camp of the challenger, Gene Tuney. The usual training routine went on its accustomed way today, with merely the comment that no site nearer Philadelphia, where the bout will take place September 23, has been selected for Tunney.
 The feature of today's program was an exhibition by the challenger this afternoon for the benefit of the Catholic chapel at Lake Pleasant. Newspapermen arranged the affair, and Tunney fell in with the plans enthusiastically.
 Slowly Tunney's corps of sparring gartners is being augmented. Bud German of Summit, N. J., a likely heavyweight is expected before nightfan. Tomorrow the camp ex- poets to receive Johnny Crosse of New York.
 The best information here today 1t that it will be several days yet be- forae the challenger breaks up his camp here at the hotel of Bill Os- borne, former buddy" of Tunney fin the marine corps. In the mean time Gene continues in a business like manner his bag punching, shadow boxing, rope skipping, spar ring and, last but not least, his read ing, which seems to be no small part of the challenger's training program.
