The revolver must have been 'wrapped in the burning comfortable ‘as it was intensely hot when picked yp. The dead man’s right hand and hgers were also blackened and the sh had been burned away from the pones. He was smooth shaven and apparently about thirty-five years of age, and of slight build. Murder Theory Scouted. The conditions under which the dead man was found left slight possi- bility that he had met his death by #another’s hand but this possibility is slight, according to the medical ex- aminer. It is admitted. however, that it would not have been impossible for the man to have been engaged in a quarrel with some other person and when a revolver was pointed at him at close range he should throw up his right hand to protect himself. This Would account for the bullet passing through his knuckle. There was an- story afloat, to which no credit was attached, to the effect that he had been shot by another person who had tried to set fire to the room to hide . his crime. % Suicide Is Believed. “The suicide theory is believed un- questionably by the medical examiner and officials as everything point to ‘that. Dr. Elcock is of the opinion ‘that the suicide may have been a fol- lower of fairs and had become des- ‘pondent because luck was breaking against him and in a fit of desponden- ey took his own life. . The man left no note and nothing L about his effects would tend to give clue as to why he should want take 'his life. ‘The only mystery which Dr. Elcock Acountered in this case was the state- ‘to Meriden and, possibly, to force open the door to Halpern's room. The key was on the inside of the door and the additional bolt on the inside of the dor was open, Ma- rene insisted that the door had been bolted from the inside and he had '‘had to burst it open with his knee. Investigating the bolt and the door jam Dr. Elcock found that the bolt plate had nat been broken as would have been the case had the bolt been forced. After an experiment he concludes that the door, which open- ed hard, had probably stuck and Ma- rene, in his excitement, had forced it, thinking it was bolted. Partial Identification Made. Early this afternoon the medical examiner and police made a more thorough search of the dead man’'s belongings. They found that both of his traveling bags were labelled “W. D 1., Unioantown, Pa.” that he wore a gold signet ring with the same initials, ‘““W. D. L."” Papers in his bag indicated that he had been a veteran cf the Spanish-American war and letters found were adressed to “W. D. Lewis, Uniontown, Pa., Cuddy's room.” From a license such ag is obtained at a fair it was found that | the dead man had been in Pennsyl- vania no later than September 4. He had a quantity of gpod clothes and apparently came from a good family. | A group photograph found in his bag contained what might have been a picture of himself when about twenty years old in company with his par- ents and sister. Another significant thing found in the dead man's effects was a small water bag such as is used to apply to sn ear or to relieve neuralgiac pains in the head. One theory is advanced that the man may have been a victim of some such malady and suffered so intensely that he shot himself to end it all. Dope Fiend, Say Police. The police are of the firm belief that the dead man was a dope fiend. They say that they found a complete set of instruments such are used by “bing shoters,” including hyperdermic reedles, etc. They belleve that it was 1rossibly to get morphine that he wanted ,to locate a doctor last night and think that without his “dope” he may have beceme so frenzied that he grabbed the fevolver, which he ap- parently always carried with him in his travels, and ended his life. At a late hour this afternon neither of the dead man’s friends had been located, so positive identification is not yet possible. Sergeant Bamforth went to the fair grounds this Nfter- noon in an endeavor to locate one of- both of the men. This afternoon Acting Chief of Police Thomas W. Grace sent a tele- gram to-the chief of police at Union- town, Pa., informing him of the local suicide and asking for information. NEW BRITAIN, TO ot NEW HAVEN CANAL $3,000,000 Project to Be Launched by Representative 'rusbn ‘When Congress Convenes, Mayor T*aniel J. Donovon of Mer- iden, announced last night that plans have hbeen completed for the introduction of a bill in congress by Representative John Q. Tilson ask- ingfor au appropriation of approxi- mately $3,000,000 for khe dredging of the Quinnipfac river and the con- struction of a canal from New Haven to New Britain. For several months the congress- man and the mayor have been dis- cussing thc project and it was decid- ed at a meeting early in the week to introduce the bill in the house when the s fon cpens in December. Plans 'have progressed to such an extent that government engineers have been over the ground and have examined the river with a view to the feasibility of the project. They declare that the work can be done without unusual trouble and the cost would probably be in'the neighbor- hood of $3,000,000. The plans for the canal are as yet in an incipert stage and Mayor Don- ovan was unable to furnish any ‘de- tails in respect to the work. He said, however thot the engineers had re- | ported that the existence of dams in several places on the river would not prove a serious obstacle and the dif- ficulty could be overcome without great trouble.

ALLIES WANT LOAN AT FIVE PER GENT American Bankers Wish Greater Yield from Money New York, Sept. 16.—Members of the Anglo-French financial commis- slion and American bankers engaged on the proposal of a billion dollar credit loan to Great Britain and France have somewhat different ideas, it became known today, as to some of the terms governing the loan, chief of which, it is reported, is the rate of interest. 2 The commission is said &0 hold fiv. per cent. as the maximum rate. Many American bankers believe the mammoth issue should yield at least 5 1-2 per cent. to' the investor, and there is talk in some quarters of re- quiring six per cent. Sold at Par. A five per cent. loan, the commis- sion is reported as having said to visiting bankers, should be sold at par or at not more than a shade under. Some financiers here are sald to doubt if the American public would sub- scribe to a straight five per cent. loan, without collateral, at more than 95, if that, The way of the. commission in agreeing to a bigger rate of interest than five per cent. would be beset with obstacles, in the opinion of some bankers here. These bankers point out that Great Britain’s internal loans have borne interest rates at 4. 1-2 and 5 per cent. subject to de duction for the income tax, which in ‘the case of the largest incomes is as much as twenty-seven per cent. Terms "Are Better. Bearing in mind this prime neces- sity that the securities to be offered here for the billion dollar loan must be absolutely free from all British income tax requirements, these bankers point out that the terms which Great Britain and France propose to offer to American investors are infinitely better than the terms offered by these governments to in- vestors at home, A possiblilty widely discussed to- day was that payment for munitions of war would be excluded from the operation of the proposed credit loan; that the big credit loan would be used to pay only for exports of foodstuf:s and other prime necessities and that payment for war munitions would be in gold., The report was not com- mented on, one way or the other, by ‘the commission or others supposed to be in close touch with its program- Satisfied With Wages. Members of ths commission seemed to be well satisfied today with the progress made thus far. Millions in pledges it was reported had already been secured and more pledges were tentatively assured., Negotiations, it was said, had reached the stage where an authoritative statement from the comniission would be issued, perhaps tonight. It developed Loday that not only the so-called pro-German group of New York financiers failed to receive invitation to participate in the nego- tiations although the hint had been dropped that u; would welcome it, but that memb: of the group fhad become convinced that no such invi- tation would be forthcoming Billion Not' Necessary. From these sources today came the expression of an opinion that a bil- lion dollar loan was unnecessary and that a credit ot from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 wouid be ample to meet the situation. Payment for muni- ‘tions of war it was thought, shculd be excluded from the proceeds of this loan, the credit covering only food- stuffs, cotton, manufactrued goods and other necessities. Under no cir- curnstances, it wos said, would mem- bers of this group participate in a loan which would cover payment of war munitions even if they were in- vited. Standard Oil To Participate. Standard Oil millionaires, including John D. Rockefeller Jr., .it was re- ported today, are considering the terms of the propased billion dollar credit loan to Great Britain and France with a view to participating. Loss to Packers.

They are not only press- ‘ing their attacks against the Austriars in Galicia but for the most part are holding up the German rush in mid- Poland. The Russians also assert that they Lave thrown back the invaders near Svientsyany, where the German cav- alry cut the Petrograd railroad be- tween Dvinsk and Vilna. The Ger- mans’ battery still holds out at the bridgehead near Dvinsk, although the Russians apparently are holding their opponents in check in this region. Counting their captures in <ialicta, the Russians lately have been taking more prisoners than they have been losing. In England hopes are rising that Earl Kitchener did not make an incautious prediction when he declared Germany had shot her bolt, but that his statement was based on facts. It is said here that Von Hindenburg's drive is losing its vigor, while Von Mackensen is striving to overcome the difficulties of the marsh country and the Austrians appear to be unable to. regain the upper hand in Galicia. The Balkan situation has not reached a settlement. The British press views Bulgaria's attitude with some anxlety. ‘“Bulgarian aims,” says the Manchester Guardian, “form the subject of increasingly anxlous thought by tie entente powers.” Paris Reports Fighting.

There was also fighting with mines in the reglon of Frise, in the Department of Somme. “There was ertillery firing during all last night around Roye and in the vicinity of Lassigny, where our shells started fires. In the region of Ber- ry-Au-Eac, in Champagne near St. Hilaire and Auberive, in the northern ‘Woevre district, and in the Voges &t Ban-De-Sapt the night also was marked by fairly spirited artillery actions.” AUTO OVERTURNS, Hartford Party Comes to Grief Whilo Racing by Ibelle’s Corner.
