REMAINS Of SAGE
LAID To REST.
Financier's Body Placed
in the Grave at Troy
With Simple Service

TROY. n. Y, July 25.-The body of
Russell Sage was brought here from
New York today and buried in Oak
wood Cemetery beside the body of his
first wife. The body of Mr.. Sage ar
rived here in private car attached to
regular train from New York An
other private coach contained the
mourners and members of the funeral
party. numbering twenty persons.
But two floral pieces were brought
from New l ork to this city. one an i'm
mense wreath sent by the late bank
er's staff. another cluster of Lilies of
the Valley from the .age summer home
at Lawrence. L. /.
The funeral cortege proceeded from
the railroad station to Oakwood. where
a large number OF persons had gath
cred. After a brief service read by
Rev. DIR. Andrew Hageman of New
York the body was committed to the
grave.
The words which are to be engraved
on the Sage monument are:
Il have done the best that l could
by the light of the day"
The coffin containing the body of
Sage. with it's copper inside envelope
trimmings and mahogany handles cost
approximately $1,000. The steel case
and its patent lock cost $4,000. 1t is
called Durglar-proof comm and 1t is
asserted that even without the added
precaution of electrical protection
guards it would be impossible for the
most expert grave robber to get at
the body. The steel case is of such
hardness that 1t would take two expert
safe openers a full day to break the
outer she'll. and then only by the en-
ployment of specially constructed tools.
There is no visible lock to be attacked.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

KOKOMO, Ind, July 25.-Warren
Greenstreet. a baker of this city, and
Miss Maggie Dowhour, young lady of
once wealthy parents. today offered
their bodies to three well known Ko-
komo physicians. saying they had
agreed to sell their bodies, have a good
time with theAnoney realized from the
sale, and then commit suicide.
The doctors refused to buy and tried
TO dissuade them from their purpose,
but failed to do so. and in order to pre-
vent them from carrying the compact
into execution informed the police, and
the pair were placed under surveillance.
Several years ago the Dowhour fam
lily was in good circumstances. but
during the natural gas boom the father
made some bad investments and was
re educed to poverty. Miss Maggie went
out to service in private families. She
and Greenstreet became acquainted and
subsequently, engaged, but their earn
iLgs have been small and they have not
been able to save enough to justify
marriage.
After considering the matter from all
points of view they decided to commit
suicide, first selling their bodies and
having good time on the money be-
fore taking the final plunge.

made today by a close friend of w. r.
Hearst, to the effect that Judge Gay
nor would be proposed as the Demo-

the regular Democratic nomination.
According to this statement he has

CLEVELAND 6 6MAyOR
IS IN CONTEMPT.
Directs Tearing Up of
Car Tracks of NUM-
cipal Railroads Rival

CLEVELAND, July 25.-Papers were
served upon Mayor Johnson late this
afternoon. citing him to appear in Com
mon Pleas Court tomorrow morning to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt for having violated
temporary Injunction issued by Judge
Ford today.
The Injunction was issued upon ap-
plication of the Cleveland Electric
Railway Company, restraining the city
from proceeding further with the tear
ing up of the street railway tracks in
Fulton street, which was begun by d
force of several hundred men under
the personal direction of Mayor John
son early today. The work of tearing
away the tracks was well under way
when the restraining order was served
upon the Mayor. and no attention was
paid to 1t when it was served.
This situation is the outgrowth of
the contest which is on between the
Cleveland Electric Railway Company.
which is seeking an extension of its
franchises, and the Forest City line
which is the new municipal line backed
by Mayor Johnson and others.
Mayor Johnson tonight. in formal
statement. defended his own action
and that of his subordinates in the
city administration in tearing away
the tracks of the Cleveland Electric
Railway. He said:
"On June II the City Council, by
resolution ordered the railway com
pany to move its single track on Full
ton street and directed the Board of
Public Service to move the tracks un-
less the company compiled within
thirty days That was six weeks ago
and the order has been utterly ig-
nored by the company. The railway
has been violating the law all this
time and has shown no inclination to
obey the city's order. which was a per-
fectly reasonable and usual one"
