New York, January 10.-After an IN
spection of the tunnel in which the dlsas-
trous wreck occurred Wednesday, DIS
trict Attorney Jerome announced that he
would not oppose an application for the
relase of Engineer Wischo on $4,000 bail
This action, he said, was the result OF the
investigation which showed the author
tiles that a charge of murder In the first
degree could not be made against the
engineer. The gravest charge that could
be made, he explained, was manslaughter
in the second degree.
On the trip Mr.. jerome was accompa-

Wealthy People Not Ex:ravagapt lr
Funeral Expenses.
Most persons, | suppose. have the
idea that the rich are buried in eX

spent twenty years in the undertaking
supply business, to New York Trib
nne reporter. but. according to my ex
perience, il is generally people who
desire to be thought wealthy who in
vest much money in coffins. You see.
most rich people have their secretaries.
whose kIlsiness 1t is to keep down ex-
penSes all the time. and the underta.
kers have found to their sorrow that
they are just as strict when it comes to
funeral expenses as in anything else.
They want the best always. but they
won't order anything that is extrava.
CANT or unnecessary.
It's the people who are not so rich
that put money into cofinS," he con.
tinued. "a remember the costliest one
our firm ever turned out. 1t was for \
man in Brooklyn, and was supposed to
cost $1,000 but it didn't. Nothing
would do the family but that plate
and handles should be sf solid gold.
The undertaken who had the order told
US to put on plated ones instead. He
managed to spend about II 900 on the
coffin. The rest I suppose. went into
his pocket. There is one thing certain
the family never knew the diffsr-
ence. There are some undertakers in
New York who are willing to give peo-
pie what they pay for. but the most Of
them are not. An undertaken seldom
pays more than $3.50 for a comm. no
matter how much money the family is
willing to expend. Aim ,st any one in
the business will tell lou that when
you get beyond $3.50 you are throwing
away money"
