CHICAGO. July in. The coroners Jury
Impaneled to Inquire Into the death of Ira
O. Rawn, late president of the Monon rail
road; returned an open verdict at 3 o'clock
this morning, but found that he died from
a shot fired from' his own weapon by his
owu hand.
The verdict Is as follows:
"We, the Jurors, sworn on oath to Inquire
Into tha death of Ira G. Rawn at his home
In Winnetka on July 20, find that he came
to his death at 1:20 o'clock on the morning
of July 20 from a sliot. and hemorrhage
caused by a bullet from his own revolver
fired by his own hand, but whether this
was accidental or with suicidal Intent this
Jury Is unable to determine, except that
the location ot the wound and the type of
revolver render the accident theory less
probable."
The verdict wu ,v worded as to sho
that Mr. Rawn was believed by the Jurors
w h'tve been responsible for his own death.
but the vutition of suicide or accident was
left to be fought out by the family and
the Insurance companion. It took several
hours deliberation to reach a finding. One
of the chief points involved In the long
discussion waa how to word the document
In auoh a manner aa not to deprive Rawn'a
family of any legal rights the members
might have under tha 1110,000 of accident
policies left by him.
Two of the sis Jurors held out for
lung time for a verdict of aulolde; two
others held to the acoldent theory. The
verdict was a compromise between these
divergent views.
Coroner Hoffman was much disappointed
that he had been unable to procure wit
nesses who might clear up the alleged con
nection ot Rawn with huge frauds In con
tracts with the Illinois Central railroad,
when Rawn was vice president of that
road. Representatives of the railroad de
clined to' testify and " put the refusal on
the ground that to give Information would
imperil pending litigation.

shlD has been withdrawn. Canaleias hai
responded that he cannot cancel the pro

In some quarters it Is believed that tha
Holy See counts on the fall of the govern
ment. Canalejaa, however. Is said to have
had the assurance ot the king's support
at the time he determined on bis plan for
religious reforms.
The general situation Is complicated by
the unrest among the miners In the Cata
lonia provinces and the occasional clashes
between the Catholic and non-Catholic ele
ments throughout the country.
El Mundo, discussing the threatened
break between the Spanish government and
the Vatican over the refusal of Premier
Canalejaa to rescind the imperial decree
which permits non-Cathollo societies to dis
play the Insignia for publlo worship, says:
The Holy Bee has no reason to feel of
fended. It Is heading deliberately toward
a rupture which will precipitate the open

Members of tha executive council of the

all day Friday. ' The council visited the
vaults of the First Na.yonal bank to- count
up and check over .securities kept on de

The Woodmen have $11,000,000 worth of
bonds in the vaults of the First National,
20 per cent of which Is in government bends
and Vie rest m state, county and municipal
securities of - the sams sort
The executive council will remain In ses
sion until Monday, but la not likely-to take
any action with 'rospoct to the new build
ing. Negotiations with the Milton Kogers
company are still going on, but no particu
lar prospect of an agreement has been
reached with respect to cancellation of the
lease.
It Is unlikely that any building contract
will be let for some months, but some
company may be given a contract to wreck
th. huildina- now occupied by the Union
Outfitting company before October 1, when
the Union company vacates.
Between now and January 1 possession
of the whole corner may be secured by
the Woodmen, and In that event the con
tract for the whole building will be let as
a whole. If not then the plan announced
some time ago will be adhered to and a
building put up on the eaat part of the
Woodmen purchase. ...
Agreements which the Woodmen have
made call for work of construction to be
gin January 1 and work of demolition by
October I. So the fraternal organization
has yet considerable time to dicker with

40 percent of the aggregate. This Is more
than seven times the amount of the net
indebtedness of any other city and more
than one-half of the total amount owed
