which the dead man a member. visited Rye

Potters Field. reburied II In the cemetery with
the ceremonies OF their order. The members then
visited the place where Knudsen was found hang

ing committed suicide. decided by the Cor
onor and local authorities. This evidence II Is said
consists OF large pool of dried blood short dis

hanging
The Danes believe that Kbudsen was murdered

ceai their crime hanged his body TO a saping
This belief is also shared by Peter Knudsen OF East
Port Chester. a brother of he dead man. Coroner
Banning is away on his vacation, and could not be

UNDERWRITERS DON'T WANT TT.

One more Of the lying subterfuges OF the Ramspo
water ring exposed yesterday. by Marshall g.
briggs. president of the Williamsburg Fire Insrr
ance Company. The Ramapo schemers have all
along been vehemently declaring that the fire In
surance interests Of the city actually clamoring
for Ramapo water. But Mr.. briggs. who for many
years has been prominent in the councils OF the
NewYork Board of Fire Underwriters, emphati-
cahy denies that the Board has favored the
idea OF the city entering into contract with the
Ramapo company In any shape or FORM and he
resents piece Of sheer inpertnence the efforts
OF the Ramapo ring to the Board $ a adver-
t!sement.
In connection with this Mr.. briggs was quoted
yesterday as saying:
The claim Is absolutely without foundation. II
is an attempt TO connect the name of a reputable
organization with one Of the biggest pieces OF rob-
oery ever devised. Fire insurance people are in
favor OF the largest kind Of a water supply but
they can never be induced favor It In the hands
OF a company like the Ramapo which own. moth.

government dishonesty administered can give II

no INVESTIGATE CLEVELAND STRIKE.

Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 25.-It Is probable that the
State Board OF Arbitration will investigate the
street railroad strike, the demand OF the Execu-

has not tried To settle the strike because IL had
not the power to do unless both parties were
agreeable. The law provides however. that In case
there is no arbitration. either party may ask for
an investigation. which will be judicial IN its
nature. and ascertain who is responsible for the
strike and It's proonga ton. The strikers were
asked by the Central Labor Union to demand such
an investigation. Secretary Bishop OF the State
Hoard il now In the city, and he says he IL ready
