At the time of the first attempt at the destruction of this church, suspicion was held against a former inhabitant of Mo Teuci, but who has been removed from there for some time This man has never been captured, and it is under stood that he is now in Mexico.
 IL will be remembered that before the first attempt to destroy the church the home fthe pFes4 Reverenl Cole, was dynamited seemingly in all effort to destroy the life of the priest. but who because Of having changed his sleeping rooms, was mortunate enough to escape with only a shock ShCrtly after this attempt on the life of the priest, the church was dyna- mited For some time after the first explosion, guards were maintained around the Catholic church property but the guard has been suspended for some time. Reverend Cole left the charge of the church at Horenci on August c. and was succeeded by Rev erend Peter, who was in charge at the time Of the explosion last Sunday morning Thus the case become eS more complicated still. it being the belief of many at the time of the first explosion that the perpetrators were determined upon the life Of Reverend COlle.

 At this last attempt the miscreants fully succeeded in their dastardly work, completely demolishing beyond any hope of repair the beautiful altars with all their costly furnishings.

lifting crane, the hook of which fell
and fatally crushed the skull of
Hodgetts at the c. Pardee Works
yesterday afternoon, as told in the
EVENING NEWS, had not been used
for some time, and the cable sus-
pending the hook is supposed to have
become defective during the crane S
inactivity.
Roman Wayzolsky was operating
the electrical crane, which ran on a
track through part of the rolling
mill. 1t had been inactive for some
time when it was pressed into SER
vice to raise load of iron AS the
massive hook was being lowered to
be attached, the cable suspending the
big chain and hook gave way, and
the hook fell, striking Mr.. Hodgetts
on the right side of his skull, which
was horribly crushed. Mr.. Hodgetts
had been experimenting the opera
ton Of the crane.
When DR.. George w. Fithian ar
rived he found that there was no
chance for the injured man, who ex-
pired few minutes after the physi-
clans arrival in an unconscious con-
dition. After the body had been
viewed by Coroner James j. Flynn,
1t was removed by Undertaken
Garretson and prepared for burial.

Immediate BURIAL
BURIAL

Though buried for seven and one
half months the body of Joseph
Koaches, of 1877 Withers street.
Brooklyn, was exhumed this morning
at the Rose Hill cemetery, Roosevelt,
where 1t was buried without identi-
fication March 80. The body of
Koaches, young sailor, was found
floating in the sound March 20, and
was In such an extreme state of de-
composition that it was buried the
next day before it could be identified.
Several days following the burial
the young mans mother, Mrs. Agnes
Koaches, of Brooklyn, from some
keys and other articles and his wear
Ing apparel, identified her son. She
requested Coroner James ]. Flynn to
take up the coffin and send it to
Brooklyn for burial, but as a corpse,
under the state laws, cannot be ex-
humed between the months of April
and November, action ON the wish of
the mother was deferred. The coro-

quest to take up the body the other
day.
The coffin in which the young sal

placed in sealed box and shipped
to Brooklyn, where burial services
may be conducted for the dead man
at a Brooklyn church unless the
putrefaction of the body will prevent
same.
When found off Roosevelt the body
of the man appeared to have been in
the water for about month from
its state of decay. The chilly water
in the spring had held it to the bot
tom, while the disintegration was
slowly taking place. The man seem
ed to be about thirty years of age.
From indications the victim met his
death accidentally.

Although Water Board Lack
Cd a Quorum Bidders Re-
spond for Water Works lob
WORKSHOP CONSIDERED
Present Structure Could be
Used as Shelter for Street
Department Workers

Six bids received last night for the
installation of q 400-horsepower
steam boiler at the citys water works
at Runyon were laid over to be open
ed and considered at an adjourned
meeting of the Board of Water Com
missioners next Wednesday night
The board did not meet last night
owing to the lack of quorum, two
of the commissioners being out of
town and another being i'll. Presi-
dent G. D. Snedeker and Commits
sioner w. P. Nolan, who were on
hand, adjourned the meeting until
next Wednesday and listened to
statements from Alderman f. A.
Seaman concerning the removal of
water department buildings now
located in the city yard in State
street.
In accordance with a decision
reached at committee meeting of
the Board of Aldermen, Monday
night, Mr.. Seaman, as chairman of
the committee on streets and sewers
and member of the public grounds
and buildings committee, opened
negotiations with the water board for
|
wagon shed. He stated the street
department needed the buildings in
question, especially because they
were conveniently located at it's head
quarters.
Inconvenience of Workmen.
The alderman set forth that the
present workshop could be used to
good advantage as congregating
place for street workers on rainy
days and for the storage of tools. He
stated they were now obliged to seek
shelter in the hayloft of the street
department stable, much TO their in
convenience and the danger of set
ting fire to hay there. Mr.. Seaman
also stated that the street depart
ment could make use of the wagon
shed and the stable, because addi-
tional stable room was greatly need
ed. 1t is the intention of the city to
pay the equity in cash for the build
ings, not desiring to receive them for
nothing from its water department
Messrs. Snedeker and Nolan and
superintendent A. H. Crowell held
that the buildings would serve the
board as we'll as new ones
Estimate to Remove buildings.
Mr.. Crowell reported that an esti-
mate had been made to remove the
buildings and place them on new
foundations in King street for 1925,
and added that it would cost in the
neighborhood of $500 to replace
them. A suggestion was made that
the city pay the difference and it was
left to Mr.. Seaman to put such a
proposition up to the council.
The bids received for the proposed
new boiler, which were not opened,
we're from the following firms: Heine
Safety Boiler Company, of New York
City; w. M. Jackson, of Philadel-
phia; Wickes Boiler Company, of
New York City; Henry Vogt Machine

pany, of New York City.

of Conditions Among EmDIoves

the company's coal dock laboreTs are
unfit to be inhabited, conditions
there are revolving, and the squalor
in which men, women and children
live with domestic animals under the
padrone system is exceedingly dan
gerous to public health, according to
a report rendered by the State Board
of Health. 1t followed a reinspec-
ton by state inspectors at the labor
camp made three weeks ago. A copy
was received today by Rev. Colum-
bino Galassi, the priest who is wag-
ing a campaign against the condi-
tions, together with a letter stating
that copy had also been forwarded
to the Woodbridge Township Board
of Health, with a request that they
shall follow the suggestions made in
the last paragraph. The letter is
from Chief A. Clark Hunt, M. D., of
the state board.
Among the suggestions referred to
is one that the local board should
declare the buildings to be a nuis-
ance, dangerous to public health, or
should pass and enforce ordinances
to secure sanitary conditions of the
dwellings and grounds. The report
in full follows:
BY the direction of the State Board
of Health an Investigation was made
Of the conditions of buildings at
Port Reading, Woodbridge Town
