FORMER SEXTON IN COURT
Charged with Burying Dead Body With
out Permit.

Another step in the police investiga-
tion of alleged irregularities in the dis
interment and reburial of a body in the
Beckley street cemetery was taken to-
day when the authorities cauged to be
arrested James Grogan, said TO be a for
mer sexton of the cemetery. The com
plant which figured in the warrant is
sued at the request of Grand Juror Will
liam Wishart sets up the charge that the
respondent buried dead body without a
legal permit, The accompanying speeifi-
cations cite the name of the person whose
body. the authorities allege was mis-
handled Officer John w Dineen served
the warrant. Just before noon the re-
spondent appeared without counsel be
fore Judge H. w. Scott in municipal
court and entered a plea Of not guilty.
Bail was fixed and the respondent was
allowed to go on his own recognizance,
while the case was continued until Tues.
day morning for hearing.
Disclosures which alleged unusual
methods in the reburial Of womans
body were made early in the week. A
body which was originally inferred in a
decent manner was removed from a
single lot to a family lot, as the woman's
death late in September was followed
shortly by the demise of her husband.
When the latter died the family pur-
chased larger lot and, it is said left an
order with the respondent in to-days
proceedings to transfer the body. The
authorities claim that the body was lift
ed and transferred to the family lot
without permit. Other charges include
the assertion that on the occasion of the
second interment the body was not de-
Gently buried. Relatives of the woman
this week obtained permission to have
the remains disinterred for the second
time and placed in new casket, which,
in turn, was inclosed in metallic vault

Laredo, Tex, Nov, l6.-The Pan Amer

ed debate yesterday, during which the
American Federation of Labor denounced
the Industrial Workers of the World as
enemies of governments everywhere, eX-
pected to end its discussion to-day with
the organization of a permanent fedora
tion representing the labor movements in
all the countries of the western hemi-

Officers of the American federation
were greatly pleased over the conference,
declaring that even should the projected
Pan American federation of labor not be
effected Immediately, the conference had
been more than worth while for the OPP
.portunity it had given of presenting TO
the delegates in the other republics the
true position of organized labor in the
United States toward the Industrial
Workers of the World.
Although the American Federation Of
Labor has known of the activities of the
Industrial Workers of the World propa-
ganda in Mexico, it was amazed in the
debate yesterday to learn the extent to
which the propagandsts had succeeded in
spreading their doctrine.
