E. P. Roe. the novelist was found dead today in Central park, clad In cheap clothing and with only a watch, little more than and some letters In bis pockets. Before physicians established that his death apparently was due to asthma, police uncovered the remarkable- life history of the man who inherited fame ana fortune from his father, added to his laurels by his engineering work and then dropped to the position of porter at the Palace theatre on Broadwav.

The police also learned that Roe. a college man, had worked himself up from porter to the position of head usher at the theatre, despite the handicap of 111 health and such poverty that he could not afford treatment Inherited Million. the elder Roe died In 1894 his books were still selling at the rate 100 000 a year and It was said the son inherited more than 000. The younger Roe first gained prominence In 1901 when he was appointed eon- suiting engineer on the Riverside Drive project, with a fee of about 875 000. His marriage to Miss Frances Donlphan Thornton in 1905 was attended by a long list of prominent persons.

A policeman found the body propped between the rocks in Cental park Friends aald they believed an attack of asthma caused him to go to the park for the cool air and that he had propped himself up because hts pondltlon made it impossible for him to sleep lying down. Attaches of the theatre said he was to nave gone to Cornwall-on-the-Hud-. eon todny to visit a sister.

Bridgeport Escapes Storm That Sweeps New England Near-Hurricane of Wind and Rain Contents Self with Sending Dry Squall upon City--Downpour Tears up City Pavements in Providence, Floods Highways in Massachusetts--Gale Ties up Shipping. NEW HAVEN, Aug (By Associated Press) Nineteen claims of law, which Attorney Arthur B. Q'Keefe, of West Haven, contends "are involved in, and decisive of," the appeals of Drs. Anthony R.

Campo, of Stamford Modestine Coppolo, of New Haven, Samuel Lerner, of Bridgeport, and William Levy. Etamar A. Mower and William H. Feldman, of Hartford, from the vocation of their licenses to practice in Connecticut, are set forth in the biief filed by Attorney O'Keefe as his argument for appellants in the case. The appeals were heard in Civil Superior court before Judge Allyn Brown, in July.

The statute under which the certificates of registration of the eclectics were revoked, the revocation without notice of hearing of charges, the consolidation of the cases of seven appellants and their hearing together, and denial to the appellants separate trials, the brief contends, constituted four separate violations of that clause of the 14th Amendment to the Federal constitution which provides that no state shall "deprive any person of life, liberty or propel ty without due process of law." File claims are set up regarding the signatures on the appellants' applications for examination by the eclectic medical examining board, vouching as to the character of the applicants. Contending that by action of its representative, the eclectic examining board, the state "waived the provisions of the statute requiring Jhe signature on the application of two reputable citizens, by simply printing on Its regulations and requirements, the words 'two reputable physicians'," the brief argues that the state is thereby estopped from attacking the applications on the grounds tnat the character vouchers Vere not citizens of the state. Vo Fraud Even if this were not true, the brief argues, failure of the applicants to have the form signed by citizens does not constitute fraud. As for the le- pxitabillty of the signers, the brief contends that the appellants "are not insurers of the reputabillty of physicians who signed their application 1 and that acceptance of the applications with "the signatures thereon" by the eclectic board representing the estops the state from attacking the putabillty of the signers. In tjje sence of fraud The remainder of the allegations In the brief touch upon the matter of fraxid, which the appellants contend A tropical btorm that brought record lainlall to Providence, Boston and hundreds of New England towns yes- teiday, and tied up shipping by the foice of its gale was content to lash Bridgeport with a high wind, not a drop of rain falling here.

Aug. Associated Press) The American system of criminal procedure "has been shown by recent events to be not only a national disgrace but a national menace." United States Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, of New York, told the thirty third annual convention of the Commercial Law League of America today. While he did not name the Sacco- Vanzettl case his hearers interpreted some of his remarks as to that'litigation. "The American system of ciiminal procedure has provoked the chief Just- Ice of the United States to call it a disgrace," he said, "but recent events have shown that it Is not only a national disgrace but a national menace.

It destroys confidence and security at home, and it excites criticism and protest abroad. "When many years elapse between indictment 'and sentence or Its tx- ecution, the law itself IB the thing really tried and condemned Thereby a grave injustice is done to the defendants, whether guilty or innocent, the law loses much of Its terror to evil doers; organized-effort to discredit our institutions is encouraged by llioso institutions themselves, many have called for reform of our criminal procedure but the recent instance has convinced public opinion that a change Is no longer a matter or mere reform, but of national safety."
