CORONER TO INVESTIGATE DEATH OF RICH MERCHANT Authorities of La Salle, Ill, Sus- pect E. C. Zimmerman Was Mur- dered for His Money. DETROIT, Mich., August 19.—The coroner's staff today started an in- vestigation into the death of Edward C. Zimmerman, wealthy merchant and theater owner of La Salle, Ill. A statement by a friend of Zimmerman that the latter usually carried a large sum of money and that only $14 was found in his clothing led au- thorities to the belief robbery might have some connection with his death. A physician who examined the body yesterday said death was due to heart disease. Zimmerman’s body was found in a washroom at his hotel. The theory was advanced that he might have died in the exertion of a struggle with a bandit, or that he was robbed after death. In addition to the sum of money reported missing, Zimmerman was sajd to have possessed valuable jew- elry and mutual tickets worth sev- eral hundred dollars. The tickets and jewelry had not been found to- day. BOY BITTEN BY SNAKE WHILE CHASING RABBIT Reptile Dccupies Same Burrow Cot- tontail Does—Lad in Serious Condition, Special Dispatch to The Btar.

MEXICO 4TV, August 19.—Indica- tions that Mexico's status is being considered in league of nations cir- cles, as shown in Geneva dispatches to the Associated Press, were re- ceived with much interest by news- papers here today, but there was no inclination to believe that the Mexi- can government would make formal | overtures for admission to the league. President Obregon on his inaugura- tion day declared that he would not apply for membership in the league, as he felt that an invitation would be forthcoming when the government had shown to the world that it was worthy of such participation.
