III DESTIM DEATH
Investigation by the authorities to
day hsi disclosed no evidence tending
to indicate -that rjominiok Destin. or
Kestani of 50 Columbus Place, died
suddenly at St. Vincent's hospital yes
terday mornlns from anything: but an
acute attack of Bright's disease. Po
lice detectives acknowledge that 'there
is absolutely nothing unon wf leh to
ttM the suspicion that the'r was any
foul play or that, as some of the dead
man's friends contended, he was beat-e.-i
in such a manner as to cause his
death. ' " .; ' r'
lr. Robert B. Keane. attending
physician. Dr. Joseph P. Deery, house
jrtfon at St. Vincent's, and Dr. S. M.
Oarllck,- medical examiner, all atrre
in flying Bright's "disease as" the sol
cause of death. Nothing was found
by them or by the undertaker to indi
cate that Dominick was harshly
treated. , : ' '
Surgeons Jay that a beating, such
as some of Dominick's friends allege
was received, could .not have been
f-ivfTi without leaving, marks, ilt is
admitted that possibly he might have
re ceived a blow, or several blows, over
the back of sufficient force to stir up
a dormant kidney complaint but not
suiReient to leave a mark.. . .':
Much excitement was 'aroused in the
Columbus place neighborhood last
right when a rumor came into cir
culation that Dominick was harshly
handled while playing a garie of
'"leboece"- Sunday afternoon. The
rumor reached police headquarters
and inquiry was made. The informa
tion received, it was admitted, today,
hardly warrants any further, action.

if . -the government ,or . the -stockholders

as suggested toy the commission, the
directors would, retaliate with what

score, many with infants in their arms
arms, crowded into the federal court
room today where Referee In Bank

women claimed to be creditors on the
strength of having bought coupons

chase of furnishings. It appeared
that the women expected a dividend of
75 per cent., on their claims.
Mr. Hoadley after confering with
the trustee, notified them that the
company had only $800 In assets and
the claims were in excess of that fig
ure. He said that; creditors . co.ild
swear to their claims before a no
tary public at a certain address.
The women stampeded but scarcely a
dozen got the right address and there
was considerable excitement outside
the federal building until the right
office was found In a nearby block. The
referee, ordered a sale of the- com
pany's stock and the women will get
