BODY GONE.
MUCH MYSTERY IN THE CASE
Coffin Of Relative Of the Late Con-
gresham Is Found to Have
Been Despoiled Of Its
Contents.

Erie, Pa.-Profound mystery sur
rounds case of body-stealing In this
city which became known Thursday,
the breaking into and violation OF the
mausolem of the late William l..
Scott, who was q congressman, mill
lionaire railroad and coal magnate,
and an intimate friend of former Pres
ident Grover Cleveland.
The mausoleum, in the Erie ceme-
terry "a magnificent affair which cost
at least s50.000), was found shattered
by some women who Glanced to be
walking through the burying place.
Soon after this discovery 1t was whis-
pered about the city that the body OF
Mrs. Anna NJ. McCollom, a sister Of
the late Mr.. SCOTS wife. had been
taken away. Mrs. McCollom was the
wife of a prominent naval officer and
was well known in Philadelphia So
ciety. 1t was also said by some that
Mr.. Scott's body was removed from
Its vault Whether 1t was stolen or
not is question which has not been
satisfactorily answered.
!. The police admit. officially, that Mrs,
McCollom's body was removed from
the mausoleum by the vandals. They
also declare officially that Mr. Scott's
body was not stolen, although prob.
ably an attempt was made to steal 1t.
Unoff1cially the same police say that
the family of Mr.. Scott has hampered
them in their endeavors to get at the
bottom of the mystery and that they
really are not fully conversant with
all the circumstances Of the body
stealing.
There is more behind this than q
plain case of corpse snatching from q
cemetery" they declare, land II we
had our way about 1t very sensa'
tional story will quickly develop
They really do not know whether
Mrs. McCollom's body was the only
one taken, or whether that of the late
Congressman Scott likewise was car
ried off. But they say that they know
a motive for the stealing Of one OF
both, and that they will reveal II
when the proper time comes.

MILLIONS in BIG LAND GRAB
Illinois Investigating Body Reveals
Vast Alleged Inroads on Waters
Fix Loss at $25o,ooo 900.

Chicago-The state OF Illinois has
been Illegally deprived OF, thousands
of acres Of land along the shores Of
Lake Michigan and other waterways
at a value of at least $3.50, 900 900 by
large corporations and private inter-
ests of the state. Chicago has been
the largest sufferer.
The Illinois Central railroad alone
has grabbed 400 acres in the city's
front yard and the attorney general
should sue to recover its value and
perhaps revoke the company's charter.
The Chicago river has been camped
on illegally from end to end by great
corporations and business houses.
These are a few Of the conclusions
reached by the Chiperfield committee,
which was appointed by the Forty
sixth general assembly to investigate
submerged lands In the state. After
almost two years OF exhaustive labor
the committee has compiled its report,
which consists Of s16 large typewriter
volumes and which is accompanied by
two massive chests filled with maps,
photographs. documents and records
dating back to Indian days. IL
Bald statements and verbose
charges are not relied ON by the com,
mittee to support the truth bf their
findings. With all the care OF expert
lawyers preparing case for court the
legal questions involved have been
gone into and hundreds Of pages IN
the report consist Of supreme court de
cisions. legislative enactments and
what amounts practically to complete
legal briefs.
And with no beating around the
bush or technical equivocation, thu
committee makes the unqualified state
ment that the reclaimed empire stoler
from the people can be recovered
Strong recommendation is made tina
proceedings be started Immediately.
So comprehensive is the report Il
the belief Of lawyers who have seer
is that any ordinary members Of thu
bar could walk into court with 1t un
der his arm and turn the state Of I'LL
