AN INTEkMENT STOPPED.
Passaic, N. J., Set In an Uproar By Developments Following Mrs.
 snyder's Death.

New York, June Telephone messages sent by Coroner Scholer. of this city, to Passaie, have prevented the interment @f the body of Mrs. Cora Snyder, music teacher, and set the New Jersey town in an up roar. Mrs. Snyder, for the last year, had lived at the home of prominent politician, where she was housekeep- CT and governess of the politicians daughter. Her death occurred last Friday at the apartments of a mid wife in this city. Her child also died. Until the interrupted funeral, it was supposed in Passiac that appendicitis was the cause of Mrs. Snyder's death.
 On receipt of Dr. Scholer's tele- phone message, the Passaic authori- ties took immediate action. County physician Mcbride ordered the local undertaken who had charge of the funeral to stop the proceedings. In order to prevent a sensation, Dr. Me Bride decided to allow the funeral to take place, and to prevent only the interment. The funeral was held as had been planned. A large number of the woman's friends followed her body to the cemetery, where the burial services were read. Instead of placing the casllet in the grave, it was announced that it would be kept temporarily in a vault, owing to the water in the grave. The mourners departed without the suspicion of the state of affairs. As soon as the last of the carriages had disappeared the undertaken cook the body out of the vault and it was taken back to his mortuary.
 Pending the result of an autopsy, the authorities have taken no official action.

Trenton, N. J.. June 23.-Argument was commenced in the United States district court before Judge Kirkpat- rick in the case of the application of Rolan R.

Lindabury, Henry Woolman and Hen ry Untermeyer. Counsel for the Ship building Co. were Charles L. Corbin, At'y-Gen. Robert H. McCarter and Chas. c. Deming.
 The case was opened by MT. Wool man reading at length the bill of complaint. During the reading, MT. Woolman brought out the facts that Chas. NJ. Schwab had received for the Bethlehem steel works $3o,00o,000, made up as follows: Ten million dol lars preferred stock, $10,000, 900 com mon stock and $10,OoO,o00 of collat- eral bonds.
 Judge Kirkpatrick asked what the collateral consisted of, and was told lDdL It CItIDIdCOI INO HUI iRdSCSs OilC on the Bethlehem plant and anohter on the Shipbuilding company's entire property. He made humorous com ment to the effect that Schwab was well secured. When the reading of the bill of complaint was completed, MT. Wooiman began reading the ex- hibits in the case, one of which was statement issued by the Republic Trust Co.,, containing a very fatter- ing statement of the company's condi- tion.
 Mr. Corbin objected to this exhibit as not properly before the court. Ju.lge Kirkpatrick remarked that the statement seemed to favor the de- fendant, but that at any rate it was immaterial, as what the court wanted to get at was the company's present condition, and not what somebody else thought or said was its condition some months ago.
