FINDS NO SOLUTION OF DEATH MYSTERY Coroner’s Jury Unable to Es- tablish Identity of Man " Taken From River. Mrstery in the killing of the un- identified man whose body was taken from the river a short distance be low the railroad bridge spanning th river from Potomac Park to Virgir the morning of June § has not been solved. Coroner Nevitt is inclined to believe the man was murdered, he said, although it is possible. but hard- 1y probably, that he was killed by an automobile or railroad train. Detectives Embrey and Thompson, who visi i ene_of the finding svarch of the clothinz for marks of identification, appeared before a cor. oner's jury at the morgue yesterd afterncon and said they had been unable to get the body identified. What appeared to be the name C. Hege, written in indelible ink the collarband of the shirt. had promised to solve the gquestion of identification. No in the city directory, nor could the name be found in directories of other cities at police headquarters. Gives Result of Autopsy Dr. A. Magruder MacDonald, who assisted at the autopsy performed the body, told the jury that death was due to fractures of the skull, and not to drowning, there being no water in the lungs. Death occurred before the body was placed in the urors were told. sy disclosed a ¢ompound fracture of the right side of the skull nd a depressed fracture of the left side, resuiting in shock and cerebral hemorrhage which caused death. There was nothing in the appear- ance of the body to suggest the probability of the man being a vic- tim of an automobile or railroad ac cident, Coroner Nevitt stated, the clothing being intact and the coat buttoned. The pockets of the cloth- ing had not been disturbed, so far as they appeared at the time the body was found. Jury -Returns Verdict. In the absence of any definite testi- mony, the coroner’'s jury reported a verdict expressing an inability to solve the mystery. The body was interred in potter's field several days ago, the superintendent of the morgue retaining bits of clothing, the laun- dry marks and a penknife and comb taken from the pockets of the dead man’s clothing. They are held at the morgue for identification. Detectives and Coroner Nevitt think the establishing of the man’s identity probably would lead to a solution of his death. It is believed the man was not a resident of this city and that he probably was Killed at some distant point and his body conveyed in an autotmobile or other convey- ance to the river and thrown over- board. The body was in a standing position when found. It was said at the time of the re- covery of the body that death prob- ably had occurred within four days at the most. Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief of detectives, has copies of the dead man's photograph, and has sent a de- scription of him to the police of other cities in an effort to learn his identity. It is believed that the man was be- tween forty-five and fifty-five years old, medium height and build, and having dark gray-mixed hair and red- dish mustache mixed with gray. His trousers and coat were of dark striped material, and the vest was of her- ringbone. He wore @ blue and white striped shirt and black silk tie. A gold bridge in his mouth, the police say, should help in identification. —_— GRADUATES AT COLGATE. Son of Rev. H. T. Stevenscn Makes Fine College Record. _Harace L. Stevenson, son of Rev. ¥ugh T.

The measure pro- vides that women. who smoke in “public places” shall be fined $25 for the first offense and $100 for a second infraction. A similar schedule of fines is pro- posed for proprietors of public places. which the bill enumerates as dining rooms, cafes, theaters, elevators, street cars and railway stations, who permit women to smoke on their premises. Mr. Johnson said he had noticed too many women in Washington pufing languidly on cigarettes in hotel lobbies, roof gardens and cafes. “Why, 1 was walking down the street the other day,” he said, “and 1 saw a yvoung lady take a ciga- rette out of the hand of the young man she was walking with and take a puff herself.
