Funeral Pyre of Perhaps 1000
Infants Found in a Base

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 26.-Tha
police say they have found in the eel
lar OF a residence on Arch street, near
Fifteenth, a pile Of ashes, weighing
probably two tons, in which were
buried the bodies of many of the
babies alleged to have been killed at
the rate of 1000 year by the
Race Suicide Gang of doctors and
muses.. The bodies of the babies, be-
fore being buried in the ashes. were
wrapped in packages Of quicklime. it
Is believed, 30 that all traces Of most
or the todies probably have disappeared
by this time.
Miss Simmons, who 10 under ar

a trained nurse. the police allegs. but
is Mrs. MarJ Simmonds, who, they
assert, was at n time known as
MAY Hughes in the red light dis
trict Of Philadelphia. She is accused
OF having carried bodies Of infants into
the cellar, encased in quicklime and
buried them in the big heap of coal
ashes which has been accommodating for
more than q year.
The Race Suicide Gang" according
to the police, advertised extensively in
thee states, and was ~patronized so
Largely by women that three houses in
the Arch street district were scarcely
able to accommodate all.
The house where Miss Medith Dukes
Of Selbyville died when under surgical

owned, the police state, by Harry
L~eitsner, graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania, former law student and
later a student in theology. No charge
has been lodged against him.
A beer party" attended by two
policemen in uniform, was in progress
in the basement Of the Leisnsi house

made merry at the expense of the girl
from Shelbyville. and that the two
patrolmen actually jeered at her cries.

have no idea what triphenylmethane
is, but it looks formidable enough to
cause most anything from sore feet to
housemaid's knee.
But, as the doctors say you have
your choice: Green socks or whole legs.
IL Is entirely up to the man who must
wear the socks. After all, the old
fashioned Populist candidate, who, to
prove his relation with the common
people. wore no socks at all, may
have been wiser than he knew.
