that their eyes may light on an adver-

for employment.
When the national commission. local
directory or the contractors are ready To
use all possible available help, announce
ment Of the fact will be made. so that il
will reach the four quarters Of the coun-
try. Pending such announcement peo-
pie needing work, whether it be in dig

LEVY WILL INVESTIGATE.
The New York Coroner to Exhume
SmiIer'S Body.

NEW YORK, July 11.-COroner Levy
will order the body of Smiler. the Sal
Yation Army murderer, who was electro
cuted at Sing Sing Tuesday morning
last, to be eXhumed from the grave in
WOOdlawn cemetery. He will summon
a jury and subpoena witnesses. He will
probe the exc cutiOn to the bottom, and
compel those who were present to
testify to what went on in that secret
chamber or death. This afternoon
Coroner Levy said he had looked up the
law. Under section 773 of the civil
code he is forced to examine into the
cause of the death of the man who was
buried i'll his county. The common law
provides that when a man is electro
buted by law the coroner shall deter
mine the cause of death. There is
nothing in the electrOcutiOn law which
Tepeals this section.
Il shall move at Once," said Coroner
Levy, 81 do not propose to have bodies
of men buried within this county, while
| am one of its cOrOnerS, about whose
death there is the least suspicion, and |
shall make the examination as thorough
as possible. l am strongly opposed to
the secrecy which has been thrown
around this. affair. From my stand
point the legal taking Of life by means
of electricity cannot yet be said to have
been proven to be the best of all meth
DDS. 1t is still on trial, and if it should
be proved to involve unusual torture,
or If it should turn out to be a barbar-
Gus method, the yeopIe will not allow
its use. 1t is right, then, for the people
TO know what the effects of tine current
are, how it acts. and what is the result
of its use to the condemned. This is
not out of idle curiosity, but it is a mat
ter of the most serious concern to all of
US. There shall be full examination
by experts of ability of the evidence
that death was instantaneous. l shall
have men as members of the jury who
know the difference between reflex ac-
ton and respiration, and we shall see
whether there were other cases like that
of KemmleT. You may be certain that
the inquest will be full and thorough.
and there will be no packed jury
pledged to favorable verdict before
hand -
