The exact cause of the fire is un-
known, but as high wind prevailed
a smouldering spark from the engine
or from someone's pipe was probably
the source of the fire. A large straw
stack near the barn also burned. Mrs.
Eldred was able to save the two chill
dren and a few articles of clothing.

body made what was, as it now
turns out, only one of a series OF
Journeys in and about New York.
It was carried from Trinity Gene
terry down to Grace Church, and
after the public funeral there was
carried to the crypt Of the cathe-
dral.
The beginning of this wonderful
piece Of architecture, which may
not be fully completed for more
than a century, was the proudest
achievement Of Bishop Potter's
career. Il was therefore thought
eminently fitting that he should be
laid to rest beneath the altar of the
crypt, at that time the only part of
the cathedral finished.
Accordingly, at great trouble and
expense, a tomb Of honor was
chiseled out Of the solid rock un-
derneath the communion rail- and
directly below the splendid Tiffany
mosaic altar. Into this the casket
containing the bishops body was
laid
The burial was private, only two
or three Of the cathedral clergy
and members Of the immediate
family being present. This fact
was recalled when the secret of the
bishops cremation was divulged
the other day. Many thought that
- the bishop had doubtless been Gre
mated within a few { VS. after his
death and that his burial was Sec
ret in order to conceal the fact
that the massive casket contained
only an urn of ashes.
Such, however, was not the case.
II is definitely known that the body
of the dead bishop did rest in the
holy spot to which it was lowered
with solemn religious ceremony
from October, 1908, until April
1916.
Soon after this first burial the
bishops family began plans for a
MEMORIAL chapel. to be a part of
the great cathedral structure. This
was completed at a cost of 5000. 900
and consecrated in October. 1914.
It's central feature is a splendid
marble tomb surmOunted by ?
heroic bronze recumbent statue o.
the dead Bishop.

intended to hold the casket contain
ing the body instead Of the mere
handful Of ashes. Il would seem
from this that the decision to ere
mate the remains was not reached
until after the completion Of the
tomb.
The interior of the tomb, accord
ing to an official Of the cathedral,
is filled up with marble, in which
an elliptical groove about three
feet long has been carved. The
ashes of Bishop Potter lie In this
depression.
But the truth about what was
done with the dead bishop in the
Spring Of 1916. and about the char
acter of the remains that now re-
pose beneath his bronze effigy only
deepens the mystery. The family
and the few others who might clear
it up steadfastly refuse to explain
why cremation was delayed for
eight years after the bishop died,
and why it was finally carried out
with such apparent effort TO keep
II a secret forever.
AS everybody knows" said Mrs.
Charles Holland Russell, a daugh-
ter Of the late bishop, my father
was always in favor of cremation,
but he never expressed any wish
about it for himself. The members
Of his family decided to have his
remains cremated because we
thought it right and proper. That
is all there is to it,
The remarkable mystery sur
rounding this secret cremation OF
the distinguished bishop reneWs in
terest in the whole subject Of what
is the best disposition to make of
the bodies of our dead. On sani-
taTy and economic grounds the ad-
Vocates Of cremation have quite
the best of the argument. but on
the religious and sentimental side
OF the question they meet with the
strongest kind Of opposition.
Pope Leo XIII once instructed
that every effort be made to inspire
the faithful with the greatest hor-
rOr for what he termed 'the detes-
table abuse of burning dead
bodies The Archbishop Of Mon
treal and other great dignitaries Of
the church have since Joined with
him in declaring cremation for
mally prohibited for all children OF
the church.
The church's view is that crema-
ton is a revival of a pagan custom
which is plainly out of keeping
with the teachings OF the Bible and
with the time-honored rites of
Christian burial.

HE Right Reverend
enry Goldman
Potter, bishop of
the diocese Of New York
and one of the most dis
tinguished leaders Of the
Prote st ant Episcopal
Church, died in July,
1908. zAnd now, eleven
years after his death and
buriat the fact leaks
out that the remains of
this Famous churchman
were removed from the
crypt Of the Cathedral
OF st. John the Divine,
where they had been
laid with great pomp
The Washington times., 1919-07-06


No move was made to transfer
the remains from the crypt to this
new and more imposing resting
place until 1916. Early In that year
the bishops children petitioned the
proper authorities for permission
to remove the body from the crypt
and have it cremated. Every pre-
caution was taken to keep all
knowledge Of this petition from the
public.
The late Dean Grosvenor was the
only one Of the cathedral officials
to be acquainted with the family's
plans. He agreed to them and
helped not only to carry them out,
but to keep them a secret.
Shortly after midnight on the
last day of April, 1916, an automo-
bile hearse rolled into the cathe-
dral grounds and drew up at the
entrance to the crypt. The under
taker, with two assistants, who
came with the hearse, were met at
the crypt door by Dean Grosvenor
and Mason H. Partridge, the sexton
Of Grace Church and a trusted
friend of Bishop Potter and his
family.
By the light Of electric torches
the meE CROPPED their way into the
shadowy chapel. The heavy marble
slab covering the tomb had been
removed earlier in the day under
pretext of making some trivial re-
pairs in the interior. 1t was there
fore an easy matter to remove the
casket and place it in the hearse.
Through the deserted streets at
an hour when the last of the the
atre crowds had gone home and the
first of the milkmen- had not yet
appeared the. hearse was driven to
the ferrybOat which carried it to
New Jersey. Soon after dawn the
cremation was completed, but the
ashes were held at the crematOry
until they could be returned to the
cathedral under cover of darkness
and with the same secrecy that was
observed on the previous night.
On May 2, 1916, the Bishops
ashes were placed in the new tomb.
But nobody outside of the Bishops
family, Dean Grosvenor, the sex
ton, the undertakers and the
crematory superintendent had any
idea that it was only cremated
ashes which were transferred to
this new resting place and not the
remains originally buried in the
crypt.
Both the size and shape of the
sarcophagus indicate that it was
