WIFE-SLAYER'S CURSE
RECALLED AT FUNERAL
Man Who Buried II. II. Holmes,
Murderer, Died After Years
in Sanitarium

The funeral today of John w. ORourke.
an undertaken. who buried the wife slayer.
II. H. Holmes, recalls the curse Holmes di-
rected at those instrumental in his convic-
tion.
Twenty years ago today ORourke buried
Holmes after the man who had attracted
attention the country over had been hanged.
As he went to his death on the gallows,
Holmes protested his innocence and cursed
those he said were responsible for his con-
vction.
Since then many who came under the
curse have met with either unusual or tragic
death, whether they were detectives, ply
sicians or officials. One after another the
men who gave evidence against him or de-
lvered it dropped of.
O'Rourke died Saturday after spending
the last few years of his life confined in
sanitarium. O'Rourke's sister, Mrs r. NJ
Dempsey. died yesterday while the body of
her brother was being prepared for burial.
The horror Of the hanging OF the man
he buried seemed to overwhelm him and
after every medical expedient had been tried
for recovery Of his fine voice. O'Rourke
journeyed TO the mission of St. Anne de
Beaupre, in Quebec After the fourth visit
to the sacred shrine the affection which pre-
vented his taking food was relieved, but
his voice was destroyed forever
The undertaken will be buried today from
the home of his son, Thomas J. ORourke,
1710 Morris street, who with a daughter,
Mrs. j. A. Call survives.

COATESVLLE HOTELS
SEEK LICENSE RENEWAL
Remonstrances Not Specific, but
Plea of "No Necessity"
Is Urged

WEST CHESTER, March T. Two
Coatesville hotels still remain in line to
secure licenses il the Court chooses to grant
them. Both are new applicants but re-
monstrances have been filed against them.
The remonstrances. however are not spe-
cihc and just what action the Court will
take when they are considered is Of course
not known nor will il be until the hearings
on remonstrances are called up on March
19. when both matters will be given the
usual hearings.
The two hotels involved are the Hotel
Grand, for which jeremiah H. Reardon asks
license, and the Subway House, in the
negro quarter, where Charles Fl. Taylor
asks a license. 1t is admitted by the re-
monstrants that both men are well qualified
TO conduct hotels, and there is nothing
charged against them personally. but the
matter OF mo necessity will be urged and
the no-lcense forces will open fire upon
them when the applications are considered
The action of the Court yesterday leaves
but two hotels along the Main Line in Ches-
ter County, one at Duffryn Mawr and one at
Parkesburg. The property involved bv the
removal of the licenses in Coatesville and
Downingtown is valued at nearly s4OO 900
and 1t is estimated that without licenses
the hotels will depreciate more than sew
tnty-f1ve per cent in value. The proprletors
h Coatesville say they will close the hotels
tnd the Board of Trade there as well as
bhe Chamber of Commerce has already
taken action to provide for the travelling
tublc.

Relations
WILSON TO MAKE REPLY
Washington Appreciates Deli
cate Position Of Dual Mon
archy in Crisis

WASHINGTON. March 7.--There will bs
no diplomatic break with Austria for the
< present, unless the submarines OF the duaI
monarchy fierce the hand Of President VIII
son by some overt act" in which American
/. lives are endangered This was stated au-
thoritatively today after officials had di-
gested the reply of the Austrian Govern
nent to this Governments inquiry con-
cerning her attitude on the submarine war
fare as conducted by Germany.
The note which was before President
Wilson today Is most conciliatory In tone
Ohcials realize that the position of the
Austrian Government is delicate. She must
on the one hand. indoree the stand of
.Germany, and at the same time do II In
such manner as not to offend the United
states to the extent of diplomatic rup-
ture.
THE RIGHT TO ARM
The one point on which the two Gov
ernments are in fat discord Is that of the
srming of American merchant vessels.
THE Austro- Hungarian Government is of
the opinion that the arming Of merchant
vessels, even solely for defense, is not estab-
llshed by international law. They are to be
regarded as pirate vessels which may be
destroyed
This paragraph from the Austrian reply
may prove a stumbling block in the path
of future good relations. President Wilson
believes that the right of this Government
to arm its merchant vessels IL beyond
question in view of the existing conditions.
and IL IL certain that he will go ahead re-
gardless of the Austrian opinion as TO its
legality.
II the Austro- Hungarian Government
backs up its opinion so far as to sink an
American vessel so equipped. the break, IL
Is believed, will come with startling sud.
denness.
AWAIT OVERT ACT
That President Wilson will reply to the
Austrian note Is believed certan--unless
his hand is forced by some overt act" The
Vienna note was SO inviting to further nego-
tiations that it is not believed this Govern
ment can very well avoid further inquiry
into the matter without appearing to be
forcing the issue.
Whether Count Tarnowski. the newly ap-
pointed Austrian Ambassador 10 the United
States. will be allowed to present his cre-
dentias here now was debated question
in diplomatic circles. Count Tarnowski ar
rived in Washington at the time of the
German break, and because OF the delicate
relations between the United States and
Austria since that time he has not been
