Mysterious Death of the Noted Hazleton
Priest in Apartments in New
York City. "'''."
Had been Dead for Five Days When
Body Was Discovered-Miss-
ing Three Weeks. .s
Was the Man Who Helped Bring About
Settlement of the Recent Great
Coal Strike.

New York, May 17.-The body of
Father E. S. Phillips, the noted priest
of, Hazelton, Pa, who came to this
city two months ago to plead with J.
Pierpont Morgan in the interest of the
Pennsylvania coal miners was dis
last night by little girl in the
apartments of OR" Quirk Stanley.
The priest had been dead at least five
days but the cause of his death cannot
be determined. Stanley was placed
under arrest. Phillips had been miss
ing for three weeks. Stanley said
this morning he and the priest in com
pany with two girls had gone to his
rooms on the night of May Sth and
drank whisky. Whether or not the
girls placed anything in the drinks he
does not know He averred he had not
seen the priest since that night. Stan
ley was born in San Francisco.
A mysterious woman, tall and hand
some blonde, now figures in the case.
She is believed to be Stanley's common
law wife. She has not been seen for sew
eral days. 1t is thought she lured the
priest to her rooms. The coroner strong
ly suspects knockout drops caused the
priests death.

# San Francisco, May l7.--Tne life Of
Mrs. Mckinley still hangs by a thread,
and while she made a remarkable
rally yesterday afternoon and seemed
to game t1if1e during the hours OF the
night none of the attending physicians
believe she can recover. The presi-s
dent is disposed to blame himself for
bringing Mrs Mckinley on a long
trip, but his friends say he should not
do so as Mrs. Mckinley seemed to de-
rive benefit during the first four days
Of the journey. People here criticize
the action of the Ohio delegation yes
terday in riding around the town in
a tally-ho and footing horns. They
think the footing might have been left
out in consideration of Mrs. McKin-.
ley's illness. r.
At seven o'clock word came from
