RUMORS PERSIST
THAT GHOULS TOOK
BODY OF SCOTT
Detectives Now Working on
Clue That May Prove Fruit
ful-Family Reticent.

ERIE, Pa, Feb. 10.-Detectives are
working on clue today that may lead
to some material development in con-
nection with the robbery of the Scott
mausoleum In the Erie Cemetery. Louis
Wadlinger, milk dealer, has informed
the officers that about 4 o'clock on the
morning of January q his wagon was
stopped near the cemetery by man
who asked for q match. Wadlinger says
the man told him he had heard ham
mering In the cemetery and later saw
four men emerge through a hole in the
cemetery fence. Wadlinger lives on q
dairy farm near here. He did not hear
of the robbery until last night and to-
day related the incident to the police.
On account of the reticence of the
police and members of the family, much
mystery surrounds the desecration of
the mausoleum. Although q statement
issued by the family is to the effect
that the body is that of Mrs. Anna M.
McCollum, sister r-in-law of Mr.. Scott,
rumors are persistent that the ghouls
have taken the body of the millionaire
congressman. For the present 1t has
been impossible TO secure a conf1rma-
tion.
Except to investigate the story told
by Wadlinger, the police are at sea-
There has been no demand for ransom,
and this fact has served to mystify the
authorities.

SENATOR ROOT WOULD
STAND PAT ON ELECTIONS.
Change in Way OF
Choosing Senators.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.-Op-
posing all suggestions looking to a
change in the manner of electing
United States senators, Mr.. Root, of
New York, today addressed the Senate
on the resolution providing for election
by direct vote of the people.
Mr.. Root commanded the close atten-
ton OF large attendance both on the
floor and in the galleries. AT the outset
he took positive position against both
the propositions contained in the reso-
luton. He would not have senators
elected by direct vote, nor, If they were
to be so elected, would he have the con-
troll of such elections transferred from
Congress to the various State legisla-
lures. For Congress to abandon juris-
diction over senatorial elections would
be equivalent, he said, to the govern
ment's surrendering its power TO main
tain itself.
Mr.. Root found in the main propo-
sition, that of changing the method of
electing senators, an effort to evade
responsibility In the matter of govern
ment Declaring that the principal
reason given for the change to be the
corruption of State legislatures in the
interest of senatorial candidates, he
said that more fundamental change
should be made than is proposed. He
would go to the root of the trouble by
so purifying politics as to obtain better
material in the legislatures.
If the people would look properly to
the selection Of legislative candidates
he was sure there would be compare
lively little complaint concerning the
election OF senators by legislative ac-
ton, and he was sure that in that
event the agitation for direct election
would gradually disappear.

POLICE BREAK
into ROOM Of
CA|SSON VICTIMS
Landlady Had Suspected Miss
ing Boarders Were Among
the Eleven Dead.

Two more of the eleven victims of
off the foot of Centre street were in
directly identified today, when Police
man John Ward broke into a room
of the boarding house at lie Cross
street, Harrison, and came upon evil
dence to show that Severn and Edmund
Borden, negroes, missing since the ac-
cident, perished in the caisson depths.
Suspicion that these men we're lost In
the disaster came to the police when
the wife of the Italian boarding house
keeper at that address reported to the
police of the Harrison station that she
had not seen them since they had gone
to work the night of the accident. She
said she had not dared to break into
their room for fear of the law"
Found Room Deserted.
The room, of course, was found de-
serted. with letters from Severn Bor-
denis wife in Seaview, Va, to show
that she knew he and his brother were
at work on the Passaic river job.
Don't kill yourself, whatever you do -
the wife wrote. "A lot of your friends
down here are killing themselves off
like rats"
Also in the room was found a horo-
scope of Severn Borden, made up the
day before the accident 1t said You
are to live to a good old age and die
surrounded by your friends.
You should locate near the sea. You
will have better luck there than If you
live on high ground"

ELEVEN MINERS
DIE IN EXPLOSION;
SIX ARE MISSING

TRINIDAD, Colo, Feb. 10.-The
bodies of four shot-firers had been re-
moved from the Cokedale mine,
wrecked by an explosion last night; f1ve
more bodies had been discovered and
six were still unaccounted for today.
To the list of nine known dead and
six missing in the Cokedale mine at
the time of the explosion last night
this morning were added the names of
Z. A. Sutton assistant superintendent
of the mine. and Robert Meek. a Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron valunteer rescuer,
who lost their lives while trying to
reach the missing men.
Overestimate Supply of Oxygen.
Sutton overestimated the amount of
oxygen in his helmet and fell victim
to the black damp. He was dragged to
within the air circuit by rescuers, who
themselves almost succumbed when his
helmet was removed. He was alive
when acrried out, but died while efforts
were making to resuscitate him with a
pulmotor.
Meek fell unconscious after venturing
ahead of the air current and died few
minutes after being carried out. Five
bodies were located today and will Re
brought out soon. Before the six miss
ing can be reached 1t will be necessary
to put up more brattices and enlarge
the air current. A number of the res
cuers have ben overcome by black
damp.
The mine is being slowly cleared of
the after damp, but 1t may be several
hours before all of the bodies can be
taken out

PREDICT THREE DAYS
OF PERFECT WEATHER.

Three straight days of perfect winter
weather-crisply cold, bright with sun
shine, windless, cloudless-all blue
above and all white beneath-that is the
good news purveyed to Newark by the
oracles both here and in Washington
today. Both Professor Wiener and
Professor Willis Moore are agreed
about this for wonder. They've
given up the blizzard. which has prob
ably drowned itself foolishly trying 10
cross the Great Lakes--and the former
would not be in the least surprised If
the fine spell stayed around even for
week.
It's warm today--at a temperature CT
ss at noon. but the forecast says 1t will
be colder, growing colder gradually
until the mercury slips down just be-
low the freezing line, where It will cling
evenly during the daytime. nor will
dropAmore than six degrees at night.

UNCERTAINTY As
TO CHANGES IN
BUILDING DEPT
Superintendent O'Rourke Asks
That Clerk and Two InspeC-
tors Be Dismissed.
SHAKE-UP IN DEPARTMENT
AND CHANGES ARE LIKELY
Civil Service Commission Asked
to Certify Names to Fill
Vacancies.

There is to be a shake-up in the city's
building department, but just what
changes are to be made nobody knows,
except Building Superintendent Will
lam P. O'Rourke, who told the build
ing committee of the Common Council
last night that he wanted his clerk and
two inspectors dismissed and that he
wanted to add more competent inspec-
tors.
The superintendent made the direct
charge that two of his inspectors are
incompetent and he wanted them dis
missed, even If 1t became necessary for
him to prefer charges of incompetency
against them. The superintendent men
toned the names of the two men he
refers to- Thomas H. Balond, of the
Sixth ward. and Joseph McNally, of the
Iron-bound District.
Wants CIerk Removed.
The superintendent has further de-
clared that the clerk of the depart
ment, Henry S. Tolen, must be re-
moved. He does not criticise the cler-
ioal work of the present clerk but says
that he prefers a clerk who is versed
in the building line. With the new
building code, the superintendent
stated, the clerk of the department
should have a knowledge of building
matters.
The proposed shake-up leaked out
when the committee last night decided
to inform the Civil Service Commission
that the department required five ad-
ditional inspectors, one to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of Jo-
seph Sell. an electrical inspector, and
four others, three of whom are to re-
place inspectors who had been ap-
pointed temporarily for sixty days at
the beginning of last january
Regrettea 10 FIND Fault.
At his office this afternoon, Superin-
tendent O'Rourke said that while he re-
gretted the necessity which compelled
him to find fault with any of the en-
ployees of his department. but under
the circumstances he could not do
otherwise.
Recent developments, said Mr..
O'Rourke. "make 1t absolutely essen
tial for every man to look out for him
self. 1 am sorry to admit that at least
two of our inspectors are incompetent
but they are, and as head of the de-
partment l must respond to the recent
presentment of the grand jury and the
more recent declaration of the county
judge on the Machinery Hall collapse"
