BRIEF TELEGRAMS

cautions nave Deen taken at the lOlnDS
of the late E. H. Hartman and II. II.
Rogers. These precautions, it is said,
have been taken as a result Of an
anonymous communication received by
close friends of the Barrimans, which
indicated that an attempt might be
made to repeat the exploit of the body
snatchers who stole the body of A. I.
Stewart. Extra guards have been
placed about the tOnbs of the three
very rich men who have died recently
The mausoleums have, in addition, been
equipped with elaborate electrical ap
planes, which will give notice of any
attack on them, and other precautions
have been taken which will make any
attempt on the part of thieves prac-
tically useless.
c. E. Taylor, who has built the
! nausoleums of many rich men. said to
the Publishers Press representative:
1T would require several hours of
hard, and by no means quiet work, to
obtain access to body that the would
be thieves might want to carry off. The
tombs are constructed of two-inch
slate, forming the top, bottom, sides
and back of each receptacle. When the
casket is deposited the front is sealed
with single thickness of brick, laid in
cement, in front of which the marble
tablet, one inch thick, is set in cement.
Further security is provided for by
bronze inch-thick doors, well fastened
by bolts and bars.

any stream in the world could quite

beauties of the Rhine. Mr.. Hartman
declared his opinion that for natural
beauty the Hudson. about West Point,

New York a great park along the Hud-

| beautiful pleasure resort accessible to
great centers of population in the
world.
Mr.. Hartman" continued the doc
