MRS. T0WNSEND'S OPINION
She Thinks Ghouls Were After
the Body of Her Father.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. !
Il a N l.

washington, Feb. 9.--Mrs. Richard n.
townsend, since the dissertation OF the
Scott mauselem, at Erie. Penn. in which
her husband Is buried. has decided not
TO 20 to Erie. The arrangements there
will be left entirely In the hands OF her
brother-in law and sister. Mr. and Mrs.
Charles II. Strong. Mr.. Strong has had
the bodies. with the exception Of that OF
Mrs. McCulon. which was carried away,
replaced in their collins. which have been
resealed. and strong guard has been
placed about the tomb.
One OF the collins broken open and It's
contents turned out was that of the late
Richard n. Townsend, husband Of Mrs.
Townsend, and father OF Mrs. Peter Goelet
Gerry, OF New York. Mr.. Townsend died
in Washington few years ago as the re-
suit OF being thrown from his horse. An
other coffin contained the body OF the In
FAINT daughter of Mrs. Townsend. who. had
she lived. would have been twenty years
old In August. The mausoleum was built
some years ago at the earnest desire Of
Mrs Townsend. who wished the body OF
her baby daughter placed there, and for
years after the death OF Mr.. Scott spe-
cial guard was kept over the tomb to pre-
vent depreciation.
30 careful were members OF the family
that there was a constant patrol on duty,
but as the years passed. the guard was
gradually dispensed with and an old family
servant was LEFT to make frequent visits
to tho tomb. while Mrs. Charles II. Strong
also paid frequent visits, especially In sum-
nler, TO see that there might always be
fresh flowers there
When the guard was finally removed an
electric burglar alarm was Installed In It's
place. This should have given warning at
the Erie police headquarters, but It is as
sumed here that the ghous knew Of It's
existence and cut the wires
Each of the elk bodies was incased In a
heavy metal coffin. with a still heavier
metal case outside. On one side of the
vault were the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs
Scott, while the other boies occupied the
opposite side. Both the inner and outer
doors Of the mausoleum were of the heavies,
| steel, and every precaution had been taken
for the safety of the bodies. Mrs. Strong
is a firm believer in cremation, and II Is
possible that ultimately each of the re-
naming bodies will be taken to Buffalo
| and eremated.
Mrs. Townsend's natural supposition I.
that II was the intention Of the thieves u
secure and hold the body OF her father FOL
ransom, and that they must have though

.miable efforts of the American colony.
Mr.. Nevin frankly admitted on his re-
turn to the United States that he had
not scored success in Berlin, though he
was not quite willing to admit that 1t
was all the fault of his music. The APP
plause for some Of the music, he said.
was so strong that he was induced to go
before the curtain. He was sorry, be-
cause right away there were Kisses. He
had heard Kisses when others were the
object, and had always remembered the
sound as comparatively subdued in tone.
In the Berlin Opera House, he said,
Kisses sound like steam whistles. When
he woke up in the morning and looked at
the newspapers the critics were all
Kissing, too. He thought they had been
prejudiced against him by an untrue re-
port that the Crown Prince had given
the opera financial backing. or that the
fact that ''Poia" was the first opera pro-
duced at the Royal Opera in Berlin had
something to do with It. Mr.. Nevin
had already begun work Oh second
opera when he returned to New York in
May, and gave it's title as Twilight"
1t was said afterward that he was con-
tinuing his work on the opera during
the summer on a farm in Virginia
Randolph Hartley is a newspaper and
thea trical man.
Twilight" it is understood. has been
under consideration for some time by the
Metropolitan management which has
hitherto hesltated to accept 1t because
of doubt as TO whether or not the Ameri-
can public would accept certain pass
ages in the libretto. 1t is believed that
these passages have since been toned
down so as to obviate any possible Of
fence.
II IS known that the Metropolitan
management has been considering also
the production of at least three operas
in English next season. These operas
will be 'Lohengrir.' Die Walkure' and
"kOnigskinder."
