COFFIN tG FLEW OPEN
WHEN CASKET DROPPED
Accident at Bishop Dudley's Funeral
Caused Pallbearer to
Collapse.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 2S.-The coffin
bearing the body OF Bishop Thomas w.
Dudley dropped to the granitOid pave
ment while being borne from the house
TO the hearse. A long steel screw which
attached the heavy brass handle TO the
coffin had pulled loose and allowed the
massive weight to slip from the grasp
of the six pallbearers. The coffin lid
flew open. exposing the body. The Rev.
DR.. l. w Burton. one of the pail
hearers. collapsed at the spectacle, and
the ceremonies were delayed several
minutes while ne was being revived and
the screw was being replaced.
Mrs. Dudley and her youngest daugh-
ter. Miss Gertrude. a last years debu-
tante, were about ten feet behind the
coffin. As II dropped Mrs. Dudley ut
tered an inarticulate cry and the daugh-
ter started forward. The honorary pail
bearers blocked the way. and some one
told them that Bishop Burton was not
feeling WELL and that the bearers had
deposited the coffin on the pavement TO
allow him time to recuperate. Mrs.
Dudley apparently accepted the explana-
ton.

MAY CONCENTRATE
EDUCATION FUND
Peabody Trustees Face an
Important Question.
SUCCESSOR TO DR.. CURRY
Project for Spending Income in Estab-
lishment of Large Train
ing School.

What win probably be one OF the
most important meetings ever held by
the trustees of the Peabody Education
Fund. was called to order at noon today
at the Arlington Hotel
The question whether the income from
the fund is to be distributed among a
number of schools or to be concentrated
in one large educational institution is
to be decided. A general agent to sue
coed the late DR.. Curry is to be elect
ed. DR.. Samuel A. Green, who is at
present acting as general agent. has an
nounced that he does not desire the
place, and that he will not accept II
again.
Trustees Present.
The trustees present at the meeting
today are:
Samuel A. Green, Massachusetts;
James ID. Porter. Tennessee; J. Pier
pont Morgan, New York; William a.
Courtenay. South Carolina: Chief Jus.
tive Melville W. Fuller. Washington;

Gilman. Maryland; George Peabody
Wetmore, Rhode Island; George r..
Hoar. Massachusetts; Richard Olney,
Massachusetts; The Right Rev. William
c. Doane. New York, and Norris X.
Jesup, New York.
Dr. Green, who is secretary Of the
board said before the meeting con-
vened that the trustees have been giving
much thought recently to the matter
OF concentrating the money derived from
the fund on a lsyge institution, and he
thought that definite action would be
taken today or tomorrow. II was said
that the larger institution could accom-
plish more good than a number of inn
properly supported small schools and
colleges. DR.. Green. however, could not
make any definite statement as TO what
would be done. as no plan has yet been
decided uDon.
No Candidate for Agent.
AS to the office of general agent, DR..
Green said his reason for declining re-
election is that he has more on his
hands than he can attend TO. He said
that so far as he knew no candidate
for the Office has been decided upon.
The earlier part Of the meeting to-
day was devoted to routine affairs, and
it is not expected that any important
action is to be taken today. The only
absentees are HolSe Smith. Of Georgia.
and Joseph Choate. of New York, the
ambassador to England.

be in direct opposition to the action

Special Sale Women's Wash Collars

last night by Captain Of Detectives
Martin, District Attorney Byington,
Detective Cody and Sergeant Lewis.
The investigation will be continued
this morning.
District Attorney Byington said last
night that the two men could be
charged with concealing evidence,
which is a misdemeanor, This course
will undoubtedly be pursued by the
police after they feel that they have
learned everything the two young
men know.
At the investigation last night when
they learned of Murphy's attempt to
conceal the most important piece of
evidence in the case, the deputy
Poundman was at first 10th to answer
any questions. He assumed a naughty
and hurt air, but toward the end of
the questioning he was crying like a
child and telling apparently all that
he knew.
Captain of Detectives Martin and
the District Attorney are much in
censed at the action of the Coroner's
employees in not making them cog
infant of the fact that the bullet dis
covered was of 38 caliber. The men

shell from the 4-caliber gun which the
police found Murphy said that before
the murder took place he had shot at
sea gull as they were driving on the
boundaries Of Islais Creek.
When the pound wagon returned to
the pound on the night of the murder
the sack containing the dog meat,
which was daily collected by the men
on the wagon for feeding the impound-
ed animals, was emptied by one of the
attaches Of the pound yard. He failed
to notice the revolver. The next day
Murphy went to the pound, secured
the weapon, unloaded it and took it to
his home.
He was taken by Detective Cody and
Sergeant Lewis late last night to his
house and the missing revolver was Sc
cured. Then he was returned to the
Hall of Justice and locked up. The po-
lice intended TO investigate further
Weintraut and Murphy's connection
with the crime and the subsequent col
fusion with Scherf to hide the evidence
and cover up the traces Of crime.

Murphy and Weintraut were sub
3ected to a vigorous fire Of questions

were not asked for the findings of the
autopsy, so they did not deem 1t their
duty to send the result of the autopsy
to the police officials.
The autopsy was performed on the
night of the murder and it was not
until yesterday, when the Coroner's
inquest was held. that the startling de-
velopment that the man was killed
with a bullet from a 3S-caliber pistol
was made.
The police were assisted in the Sc
curing of the pistol by which the MUIR
Ger was committed by a young man,
whose name they refuse to divulge.
This party loaned Murphy the cart
ridges with which the 3S-caliber re-
volver was loaded. Murphy filled the
chambers of the pistol in his pres
ence and then placed the revolver un-
der the seat of the wagon by the side
o! the 44-caliber revolver, where II
was secured by Scherf and used in his
dastardly crime.

NEW FLEET WILL STRIVE
FOR TRANS-PACIFTC TRADE

Allan Steamship Company Announces
Intention OF Running vessels to
the Orient.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 27.-It is
announced that the Allan Steamship
Company purposes to have a fleet of
ships operating on the Pacific Ocean,
in competition with the Canadian Pa
ciflc line and in connection with the
Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, when
the new transcontinental system is
completed and in operation.
The plan is to operate the Pacific
fleet in conjunction with the Grand
Trunk Pacific line and to run a SER
vice from the Pacific terminals to ia
pan, China and probably Australia.
AS showing how close are the rela-
tons between the railway and the
steamship company. it is significant
that H. A. Allan, who is strongly in
favor of a competing trans-Pacific
line, has accepted a position on the
board of directors of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway.
