With much regret we observe that
some of his enemies speak of the pro-
posed anti.ring candidate for governor
as "the self constituted ruler of the
anti-boss democracy" This is unjust.
Begging the most gracious pardon OF
those gentlemen who appear to misap-
prehend the situation, we desire to
express our conviction that the action
of the gentleman referred to was not
so transparent. 1t is true his accept
ance of the dignity was so prompt and
vigorous that the fears of declination,
felt by his friends, were quickly dis
armed. The most that can be said
against the gentleman in this connec-
ton, therefore, is that when he saw
greatness about to be thrust upon him
he met it half way.

IT is alike instructive and amusing
to behold the complaints of the reform
ers against machine management and
boss rule. In the bright lexicon of the
incorruptible democracy a machine
run by a majority is bad institution
for the minority a boss is the fellow
who manipulates the machine so it
wont run backward, and a minion is
one of the blokes who won't kick with
the kickers.

Some of these have cause also to be

To some others there is still more

The JOURNAL is thankful, as q mat

Found Guilty Of Conspiracy.

]
The prosecution brought BY John D.
Emack, of Slatington, against Charles
Prutzman, L. G. Roethlne and Emma
Prutzman, for sending, delivering and
uttering threaning letters, and for con-
spiracy, was ended in Court here last
Saturday morning after occupying more
than day in its trial. Emma Prutz-
man is eighteen years of age, and was a
servant girl at Emack's. She remained
about one week, when she suddenly left
for the home of her parents, near Lc-
high Gap. She told her father that Mr.,
Emack had attempted to COMMIT an
assault upon her, and upon this the
parent got Roethline to write letter
and carry it TO Emack, demanding one
hundred dollars as a salve for his
wounded honor, or he would be put
behind the bars. Miss Prutzman testi-
fed that the assault was committed in
her room, and that there was no lock
on the door. A previous servant girl,
who slept in the same room, testified
that there was lock to the door, and
Detective Smith was sent to the house
and unscrewed the lock and brought it
to court, where II was put in evidence.
A number of discrepancies were shown
in the statements made by the girl which
rendered the story of the assault highly
improbable. Verdict of guilty as to c.
Prutzman and Roethlin, and not guilty
as to Emma Prutzman. In the con-
spiracy case c. Prutzman was sentenced
to pay fine of S25 and the costs, and
Roethline a fine of $40 and the costs.
In the threatening letter case each of
the defendants was sentenced to pay
fine of $40 and the costs, and undergo
all imprisonment of thirty days.-Allen-

DIsCUssIEG CREMATION.
ATTITUDE OF THE CLERGY-cALLED A
PAGAN PRACTICE BY A CATHOLIC
BISHOP.

The Buffalo n. Y. crematory, which
was recently completed and tested, ha.
provoked considerable comment among
clergymen here, and two of them have
already preached sermons on the sub
ject. Bishop A. Cleveland Coke of the
Protestant Episcopal Church for western
New York preached against "the resur-
rection of cremation from the ages OF
oblivion" He was followed BY the Rev.
w. Z. Gibbs of the Church of the
Messiah, who has taken up the cudgel
in defence of cremation,
Most of the Buffalo olergymen are
arrayed against cremation. When
questioned, Bishop Coke exclaimed
petulantly;
"oh, that nasty question againl I
thought had disposed of it,"
He was told that the question now
was. "Waat are the clergy to do?"
VERY true" said the Bishop, "these
people have thrown a frebrand into
society 10 plunge us into chaos. None
nut eranks Will patrOnize the horrible
practice. No respectable person will
consent to be cremated after death.

Robert L. Wright, the oldest me mber
of the Allentown bar, died Sunday
morning at s o'clock, at Allentown, of
pneumonia, after an illness of about
twelve days. His condition since the
previous Wednesday had been critical
and his death was not unexpected. Mr..
Wright was born at Carlisle November
30. 1910, and when sixteen years of age
entered drug store at that place. In
1928 he came to Allentown and entered
the drug store of the late John b. Moser,
with whom he remained three years.
When he was twenty-one years old he
went into the drug business for himself
but not caring particularly for this or
any other mercantile pursuit he aban-
doned it and entered his name as
student at law and in 1888 was admitted
to practice. His ability was soon
recognized and his practice was extens-
i've. He was Democrat, but no Office
seeker, and the possession of fitting
qualities led to his appointment to a
number of responsible and important
positions. He was twice appointed
District Attorney by Attorney General
j. X. Kane. Twice he held the position
of Postmaster of Allentown and served
two terms as Burgess. He was a School
Director for twenty-three years and was
actively instrumental in the establish
mcnt of .Muhlenberg College and the
Allentown Female College.
Few men have done more than lie for
the educational advancement IF the
community. Governor William T.
Packer appointed him Reporter of the
Supreme Court and he published the
first index digest of the Supreme Court
Reports. He wrote a number of law
books which are accepted as standard
works by the profession. Mr.. Wright
was noted for his charity, and no dcserv-
ing person ever applied to him in vain.
No one in the community was more UNI
versallY esteemed and his death is deeply
deplored.
In 1896 Mr.. Wright married Maria
Hutter, who survives him. He was the
father of nine children, eight of whom
survive. One is Robert L. Wright,
leading lawyer and well known in
politics another son, J. MarshallWright, |
is the epresent District Attorney of Lehigh
county. One daughter is the wife of
EX-State Senator HOLDEN and another
is married TO Alexander G. Brooks, of
Philadelphia.

auqua and Fogelsville Railroad, in the
ore mine owned and operated by II. X.
Hartzell, of Alburtis, burylng quite a
number of men. At seven o'clock We'd
nesday night the following bodies were
dug out at one Of the slopes:
James Shiffert, aged 2S years; leaves
wife and three children.
Frank Eek, aged SO; leaves wife and
one child.
George L. Miller, r,aged 81 years single.
The bodies showed that the men were
suffocated. When found they were in
an upright position with tools in their
hands. Large gangs of men have been
put to work to rescue the others who
are entombed in the slope, which is
nearly 800 feet deep.
The cause of the cave-in cannot be
ascerialnel, as lhe mine was one OF the
ore region. The mine gave employment
TO large number of men, but, FORUM
ately, most of them had quit work at
noon.
In view of the excitement prevailing
it is impos',"'e TO learn definitely how
many more men are buried in the mine,
though it is reported that there at least
dozen.

Two Men Instantly Killed by Cars.

Abraham Nungesser and Edward
Billig, two carpenters, were struck by
the locomotive Of passenger train No.
2l, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, a
short distance above Mauch Chunk, at
Z o'clock Wednesday morning, and both
were instantly killed. The men were
going TO work at Glen Onoko and were
walking on the railroad. They turned
their heads to look back at freight
train approaching them and rs it came
near them they stepped over on the
down track. just ahead of where
they We're there is a curve in the road
and as they stepped from one track to
the other the passenger train came
laundering around the curve at the rate
OF thirty miles an hour and was upon
them before they saw or heard It. Nun
gcsser's legs. left arm and neck were
broken and his forehead was crushed in,
Billig's injuries were almost precisely
the same as Nungesser's. The bodies
were taken back to Mauch Chunk in
baggage car Of the train and from there
was sent to their homes, in Hazleton,
in the afternoon. They were both mar
ried men and each leaves a wife and
several children.

He Didn't Know it was Loaded.

ELMrRA, Jan. I9.--On Monday even
Ing, as Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey w.
Schaschl;e, who had been married only
six months, were retiring for the night,
he took up an old Scotch revolver, which
he supposed was empty, and playfully
snapped it at his wife. There was an
unexpected discharge, and the bullet
pierced her abdomen. She died to-day.
The husband, who has been clerk in
a leading dry goods house here, is frantic
with grief, and would have ended his
own life had he not been placed under
guard. The accident seems worse from
the fact that when he took UP the pistol
his wife screamed, and besought him 10
put it away, so frightened was she at the
mere sight of the weapon.

Would any Episcopal clergyman be
permitted TO olliciate at such a funeral
of one of his parishioners?"
"Thc decision of the Church has not
yet issued. No such case has come up,
so there would have to be new legislation
on the subject"
The Right Rev. Stephen Vincent
Ryan, Roman Catholic Bshop of western
New York, spoke plainly on the sub
iect He said: "The Catholic Church
considers cremation to be strictly
pagan custom. There is nothing
Christian about it,. The Christian
custom is to bury our dead respectfully
and sacredly. Consequently, we bless
our cemeteries; they are hallowed spots
around which none but the tenderost
memories should cling"
"Might any priest ofiiciate at a crema-
tory funeral?'
No." said the Bishop.
Not II requested by the family Of a
parlshloner?'
no" was again the answer.
While Catholics here cannot be
cremated without forfeiting their religl-
Gus rights, in the absence Of positive
orders against the practice. one or two
Episcopal rectors have expressed q
willingness to oiliclate at crematory
funerals. Said one of these;
The burial service contains the ex-
preston earth to earth, ashes 10 ashes,
dust to- the only idea conveyed being
that the body goes back into its original
elements. The words, we therefore
commit his Tor herr body TO the ground
could be changed to we therefore COM
init his Tor herr body to the clements
or some such expression, if it was
deemed undesirable to flames in place
OF ground. think the burial service
could be used with entire propriety."
The Rev. Sampson Falk of the Temple
Beth Zion, in an opinion expressed on
the subject, argues that there is 10
resurrection Of the body, and that the
disposition of 1t would not interfere with
the future state of the soul.
Only one body has thus far been
cremated in Buffalo. ana 10 funeral
services were held before or after that
event.
