Body of Eleventh victin Taken yrsD
 Ruins Was That of H. L. Sawyer.
 SOUTH BIRMINGHAM, Mass. July 25.-The search for the bodies of work men and othek persons thought to be buried in the ruins of the collapsed business block on Concord street con- tinued all night and throughout the day.
 Tons of debris have been removed from the building and hauled away, but many tons more remained untouch- ed by the shoveling gangs, and 1t was evident that considerable time must elapse before it could be said with cer- tainty that all the bodies had been re- covered.
 The finding of the body of Henry L.. Sawyer, a prominent hardware dealer. who went to the building to inspect the plumbing plans, brought the number of dead up to eleven, and it is believ- ed that there are four more to be found. Several workmen were still re- ported missing, and 1t was supposed that they were caught beneath the fall ing walls.
 With the exception of Chester Nich- olson, whose back was broken, all the injured are reported as comfortable. Nicholson's condition continues very serious, and the physicians fear that he will be unable to survive the shock of the operation which Is thought to be necessary.
 The selectmen have extended an in- vitation to the state police to investi- gate the cause of the collapse.

R., observed the Grand Army ritual, under the direction of Dr. w. H.

 The unusual honor of having the body of the soldier thus placed was due to the fact that General Rice had performed unusual military service, as he had commanded Massachusetts troops in both the civillwar and Span fish war and in the Philippines.
 Afterward the soldiers escorted the body to the South station, where t was placed upon the Federal express bound for Washington. Interment will be made in the National cemetery at Arlington.

4 Hundred New Workers Tn Summer
 Home at Greenwich.
 GREENWICH. Conn. July 25.- Romping and racing through the or chard of the Lenhy farm. hundred happy New Workers are spending their vacation away from the brick and stone and heat of the city. They were brought here by Mrs. H. |. Kibbe. president of tho Bdeawee home. and their summer outing in the country will be supervised by Joseph waine. Mrs. Kibbe. too. will stay in Green wich for some time to look after the comfort of her proteges.
 They are lucky dogs. these hundred. and before the we.x Is over POO more fortunate ones will be installed in Greenwich for summer vacation. These 200 will be lucky cats. picked up on the streets and on the back yard fences of New York.
 Mrs. Kibbe last year was able to give the abandoned dogs only a short out ing at Harrington Park. \. l., an un- fashionable place as compared with Greenwich. which is aristocratic. The Greenwich sumner dogzery was form ally opened on a fifteen acre farm. and Mrs. KIbbe has advertised for q suIts. ble home for the cats which are com ing to spend the summer.
 It is hoped by their friends that the dogs will not miss the cuisine Of the wsldorf-Astoris and that they will feel compensated for the change to coarser food by the improved conditions Of light. air. temperature and surround ings.

THE HARTJE TRIAL
Brother Explains Finding of
 Dearest Edith" Note.
FURTHER SENSATIONS PROMISED.
Famous Case Drawing to . Close Tn Pittsburg-Handwri Experts Give Testimony For Hus-
 band of Accused Woman.

Don0 or AOCUse0 " Omoms
 PITTSBURG. July 25.--In refuta- ton of the charge that letters had been stolen from the ofice of Attorney John M. Freeman, Edward G. Hartje. brother of the hbellant, was on the stand when the Hartje divorce case hearing was resumed.
 The witness explained that the Dearest Edith letter, the nature and significance of which is still rebuttal mystery, and note bearing the firm name of Watson & Freeman, attor- neys, were found by B. B. Smith, IT,, of Allegheny, and later turned over to him by tenant in the St. Nicholas building.
 The Dearest Edith" forms one of series of letters with which the legal forces of the libellant hope to spring a surprise. The note alleged to have been written by Helen Scott, sister of Mrs. Hartje, concerning the incident of the 'blond in gray" in which MT. Ferguson, declares the young woman "aguratively got down on her knees" to the coachman, Nadine, will be per haps most interesting.
 MT. Hartje testified concerning the finding of scraps of paper in room adjoining that formerly occupied by Nadine and also in an ash pile back of the stable.
 Dr. Persifer Frazer, the Philadelphia handwriting expert, was again called and explained, as he had on direct ex- animation, how he had made the exam ination of the exhibits and the words and letters in the different exhibits which he found to be similar. He said that he had simply decided after ex- animation that all the letters were written by the same person.
 Dr. Frazer was followed by Profess or Drake of Chicago, another handwrit ing expert.
 There is probability that the hear ings of Augustus Hartje, John L. Well shons and Clifford Hooe, the colored coachman, charged with conspiracy to defame Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, the re- spondent in the divorce case. will not be held immediately before Alderman Festus King.
 Assistant District Attorney Robb stated that the prosecution will cer- tainly not go on with the bearings un- less the divorce trial is finished. Con cerning additional arrests MT. Robb said:
 After the divorce case has been submitted to Judge Frazer you may look for more sensations. Just what they will be cannot tell at present"
