JACKSONVILLE, FLA., June 3.—Did E. 0. Painter commit
suicide 1
That is the question everybody here is asking.
Painter carried $1,178,000—perhaps more—on his life, most
of which was taken out in the past four months.
His death was unexpected and mysterious. One more mys
tery has been added to it by the disappearance of the dead man’s
heart, stomach and kidneys, forwarded from this city to the Johns
Hopkins University for analysis.
Painter’s death, so the life insurance companies suspect, was
produced by an overdose of chloral, which overwhelmed him when
he toppled over from a ferryboat ostensibly on the way to his
factory.
Those most free to talk of his death seem inclined to one of
two theories, suicide or insanity, and the suicide theorists seem
to be in the majority. But there are many who scout at either of
these opinions and steadfastly maintain that his death was purely
accidental.
Inquest Awaits Analysis
In the meantime expert physicians and chemists in Baltimore
are ready to analyze the brain, heart, liver, lungs, stomach, and
other organs of the dead man to determine whether they contain
evidence of poison or disclose any other condition to explain his
death.
Coroner C. I). Abbott, of Duval County, is holding in abeyance
an inquest over the dead man. A jury has been impaneled, but
has gone no further than to view Painter's body.
An autopsy was performed by four physicians, two of whom
were acting at the instance of the Painter family, one for the
State and the fourth called in by the others. But the body was
dissected before the Coroner had seen it and had an opportunity
to subpena a jury.
Painter met his death in the river at 9:30 o’clock in the
morning. His body was recovered and in an undertaker’s morgue
bv 1 o’clock that afternoon and the autopsy was performed. The
removed organs were sealed in a conveyor in the express office
and billed to Baltimore before night. The two physicians repre
senting the family, Drs. P. C. Perry and John Cay Boyd, went to
Baltimore at the same time to be present at the analysis.
The shipment was made to Dr. Charles Simon, of Baltimore,
hut he is in Nova Scotia, and his assistant, Dr. C. E. Haas, notified
the Jacksonville authorities that he was instructed to turn the
shipment over to Dr. Charles Glazer, of Johns Hopkins Hospital,
who refused to undertake the analysis until Coroner Abbott had
a representative present. The Coroner designated a Baltimore at
torney to represent him.
The beneficiaries named in the policies were either some mem-

Catch Tarpon and
Pelican? We Know
Darn Well We Can
Atlantans are flouring conspicuous
ly this year in fine tarpon fishing off
the west coast of Florida. The St.
Petersburg Independent, in a current
issue, tells how H. W. Brown, of At
lanta. who was fishing off Paas-a-
Grllle with George Llzotte, landed
four big ones In one day.
Mr. Llzotte, the genial Frenchman
who makes two stone-crabs grow
where only one grew before, is well
'known to Atlantans. The only thing
more plentiful than tarpon this year
on the west coast are pelican. Mr.
Brown has sent to Atlanta a copy of a
limerick just composed by Llzotte. In
which the latter thus epitomizes the
noble fowl. The limerick follows:
“There's a curious bird called the
Pelican,
Whose mouth holds more than his
belican.
He stuffs into his beak
Enough grub for a week,
Though I don't see how in helican.”

WASHINGTON, June 3.—Speaker

be In session until October 1 Is be
lieved ;o forecast a long wrangle over
currency reform and a record-break
ing debate on the tariff in the Senate.
While the Democratic caucus was

gress ‘‘will be here until about Octo
ber 1.” Congress has been in almost

Presbyterians Write
Praise of Atlanta
The executive committee of the
Presbyterian Assemblies, of which J.
K. Orr is chairman, has finished up
its work and formally disbanded.
The committee received letters from
all parts of the country from Assem
bly delegates, loud in their praise of
Atlanta.
After raying the expenses incurred
by the General Assemblies, the com
mittee found a good balance in the
treasury.
Accusations that Atlanta Is honey
combed with vice and that the police
and detective departments deliberate
ly protect and encourage these con
ditions were made before the Grand
Jury of Fulton County by Colonel
Thomas B. Felder and Carl Hutche
son Wednesday morning.
Both men declared they had con
clusive proof to establish the truth
of their charges, and that they had
submitted sufficient evidence to the
Grand Jury to indict every one of the
30 or more proprietors of disorderly
houses whose names and addresses
they had left with the members of the
Grand Jury.
Felder Boldly Charges Graft.
Colonel Felder came out boldly and
charged graft of the worst sort and
he asserted that he had given the
Grand Jury affidavits showing the al
leged connections between the police
department and the houses of disre
pute sworn to by the keepers of the
houses themselves, as well as by
reputable citizens who were aware of
the conditions.
It was announced at the outset of
the Grand Jury probe that the vice
conditions of the city would be the
only matter taken up at this time.
Foreman Beck said that the Jury was
following the charge delivered by
Judge W. D. Ellis, who urged the
Grand Jury, in view of the Mary
Phagan tragedy, thoroughly to inves
tigate the reported spread of vice in
the city since the wiping <}ut of the
restricted (district.
Jury After the Real Truth.
“We have resolved ourselves into a
committee of the whole to follow the
Instructions of Judge Ellis,” said Mr.
Beck. "We propose to sift the mass
of charges and counter-charges that
have been made and get at the real
truth, If it Is possible. We w’ont to
know if vice is protected and if we
find that it is. we propose to indict
those Involved in the disgrace.”
Besides Colonel Felder and Mr.
Hutcheson, Mayor Woodward, who
long has disagreed with Chief Bea
vers’ vice policy, and C. C. Jones,
owner of the Rex Saloon, were called
before the Grand Jury. The Mayor
and Mr. Hutcheson were before the
jury about an hour each. The Mayor
Is said to have given the Grand Jury a
great amount of information In his
possession, much of which has been
published in connection with his con
troversy with Chief Beavers.
The Mayor was questioned closely
as to his knowledge of existing vice
Mayor Believes Informants.
He told the Jurors, however, that
practically all of his Information was
hearsay, and that although he was
confident In his own mind of its truth,
he was without absolute proof in re
spect to the greater part of It.
An opportunity to answer the star
tling accusations probably will be
given Chief Beavers and Chief Lan-
ford at the session Wednesday, which
will sit at 10 o’clock In the forenoon.
Both were present Tuesday, but there
was not time to take their testimony.
Detective John Black, G. C. Febru
ary, secretary to Chief Lanford, and
Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective,
also were on hand to give testimony
in the event they were called upon,
conditions. He is said to have in
formed the grand Jurors that his in
formation was only hearsay. How
ever, he gave out what he had heard
in full. The Mayor also pointed out
to the Jurymen possibilities for the
existence of such practices The ex
amination of Mr. Woodward contin
ued for more than an hour.
Colonel Felder was before the Grand
Jury for ten minutes. The attorney
was not subpenaed to appear at the
hearing, but presented himself volun-
iarily. He is said to have outlined Ms
own position in reference to the brib
ery charges and also the wholesale
