THREE CHILDREN

BURNED TODEATH
Flames Did Little Material
Damage to Chambers

FOUND NEAR WINDOW
Mother of Family Died Sew
eral Weeks Ago; Two
Babies Left

Chambersburg, Pa, May Is.
Denny Geyer and his three
motherless children were burn
ed to death early to-day when
flames did several hundred dol
lars damage to a double frame
dwelling in Central alley.
Bodies of the children, Brady,
8; Elmer, 10, and Charles, II,
were found huddled under a
window to which they had
crawled in an effort to escape.
The fathers body, burned to an
unrecognizable crisp, was found
at the head of the stairway.
Excitement was so great at the
Geyer home that the neighbors ap-
parently were unable to gather their
wits sufficiently to make an effort
to rescue the children who lost their
mother six weeks ago. Mrs. Adam
Seiple, who lived in part of the
double house collapsed as she ran
to safety. Her head struck the pave
ment and she was rendered uncon-
sious. This added to the excitement.
Simon Lake, who also lived in the
house made his escape.
Geyer's wife died several weeks
ago leaving him with five children.
The two smallest were taken by
friends and consequently they are
the only ones of the large family to
remain alive.
Geyer was a laborer, and accord
ing to stories of the neighbors did
not provide very good home for
his family. His efforts to get a house.
keeper failed and the boys as usual
last night sat on the curb until they
could muster up courage enough to
enter the empty house. Geyer came
in late and it is said intoxicated. The
neighbors are of the belief that Gey-
err kicked over a lantern used to
light his room.

seemed, every resident of the great
metropolis endeavored to participate
The streets through which the cortege
moved were congested. and every inch
of standing room in the neighborhood
of the Abbey was occupied by dense
ly massed multitude which was eager
to do reverent homage to "that brave
woman" as the Bishop of London
described her, "who deserves a great
deal from the British empire"
High Officials In Abbey
The congregation at the Abbey in
cluded high officials of the government,
representatives of foreign countries and
men prominent in many walks of life.
King George was represented by the
Earl of Athlone, brother of Queen Mary.
The service, which began at noon and
lasted half an hour, was conducted by
the Dean of Westminster. No address
was delivered.
After the service the coffin of plain
oak was placed on a train for Nor

7 ALDERMANIC
CONTESTS STIR
UP CITY WARDS
Well Known Magistrates to
Seek Reelection With
Strong Opposition

Aldermanic contests at the fall
election in seven of the fourteen wards
in the city already are arousing much
interest in the local campaigns, accord
ing to party leaders and should result
in an unusually heavy vote. The con-
test probably will enliven the wards to
an extent known only in the old-time
common council contests.
In SIX of the seven wards the present
holders of the Office intend to run for
reelection, In one district. the Four
teenth ward, there is a vacancy caused
by the death of the late Alderman
George l.. Smith. No successor has
been appointed yet by the Governor.
Probably the biggest contest of the
fall will be in the Third ward. Alder
man Charles Emmett Murray will prob
ably have at least two opposing hin,
in the district, Clarence f. Snyder. at
present acting chief clerk to the county
commissioners, and Merlo Cope, 10
South Third street, according to reports
in the district

In the Fourth ward Alderman e. +
Hilton is completing his first full term
and will be out in the fall for reelection
Two years ago he ran for the RepubU-
can nomination for Coroner against
Jacob Eckinger but lost at the nri-
maries. He and Alderman Murray are
well known in the business district of
the city, both having offices in North
Court street, about a block apart.
In the Fifth ward, Alderman Fritz
kramme will run again he said. So
far no opponents have been talked Of

youngsters in his ward as he usually

Alderman John b. Nicholas. Jr.. is

for years. The present alderman saws
he will be in the race this fall, and his
friends are predicting his election, many
having promised their support already.
