Mrs. Sero arrived in South AM
boy yesterday afternoon and went
TO the morgue of II. $. Mason & Son
and made inquiries as TO the MUIR
dered man. The mans clothing was
shown her as was a snuff box found
upon his body. These she identified

has been in the habit of chewing
snuff, she said. this explaining the
condition of his teeth. In order TO
make certain of the mans identity.
MIR. Mason, Detective David and a
representative of the EVENING

terry where the mans body was ex-
humed. II had been buried yester-
day morning in the spot where the
unknown dead from the Morgan ex-
piosion were buried. The woman

been rifed and turned inside out,

Speaks on Business.

The administrations purpose to
place the federal government on a
sound business basis, even at the
cost of offending "a certain class of
politicians" was reaffirmed by Pres
ident Harding today in an address
at a luncheon of the Academy OF
Political Science.
The task, he declared. already
has shown that to be successfully
completed would require persistent,
determined. stoney hearted devotion
to the public interest" without a
trace of sympathy for the office
holder whose only excuse for draw
ing salary is that he needs the
money.
Loss of certain prestige was GER
tain to result so it might be COM
pensated by realization of the good
accomplished by the general public.
Recapitulating the work done by
the reorganization commission en-
acted by congress and by executive
orders of tho administration, he
said considerable progress was
promised for the immediate future.
He predicted the task would be a
long one and asks for cooperation
and support of citizens everywhere
and invited suggestions as to ways
and means.

NEW YORK, May 23.-"It must
not be again." With these solemn
words President Harding laid a
wreath on the coffin of the first
American soldier to die on German
soil at a funeral ceremony at the
Hoboken piers. His voice husky he
gaZed at the rows and rows of cof-
fins and said:
"One hundred thousand sorrows
are touching my heart. 1t must not
be again. God grant that it will not
be.
II do not pretend that the millen-
ial days have come, and that there
will be no more war. | would wish

dare to provoke it's wrath"
Then, in the great army sheds on
the shores of the Hudson with its
stark, whitewashed walls their 81
lence profound and deep, Mrs. Har-
ding could be seen weeping softly as
she looked upon the caskets of those
who had given their all.
Then the President continued:
"The republic will never forget
the sacrifice these men have made,
whether they lie in soil of the home
land or the crimson soil of the bat
tlefield."
Nnen the president nnlSned MS
address he stepped forward to the
casket and laid upon it his wreath
of roses and orchids.
There was another moment of ST.

had been turned to a tomb after
the return of those who had sur
vived. On the coffin was plate

Presbytenans Get $4,000
At Service To Clear So, 900
Mortgage; To Bu:,,d Manse

Members of the First Presbyterian
church here are immensely gratified
over the effort which resulted in the
subscription of S17,276 for the pay
ment of the $4,000 mortgage and
the erection of manse. Out for
only $4,000, such complete surprise
was entirely unlocked for to the ex-
tent actually subscribed, and dona-
tions which have come in since the
services held yesterday continue to
swell the fund.
Although the enthusiasm was
necessarily restrained to a degree,
subdued applause was heard
throughout the entire reading of the
list of donations.
The services were held as usual
yesterday up to the time and includ-
ing the sermon by the pastor, Rev.
Frederick ID. Niedermeyer, upon the
task of raising money, following
which Adrian Lyon, head of the
special committee. took charge.

Pledge cards were distributed by
the officers of the church among the
congregation, were signed and COL
lected. The amounts were then writ
ten upon a blackboard placed be-
fore the congregation, totaled, and
added to the pledges that had al
ready been made, amounted to the
S17,276. 1t was at this time and af-
ter each substantial subscription
was read, that applause. most un
usual sound in a church, was heard.
Mr.. Lyon made a brief but hearty
plea for the $4,000 saying that the
laymen of the church felt that the
paying off of the mortgage and the
erection of manse was peculiarly
the task of the laymen themselves,
and therefore it was up to the en-
tire congregation to divide the bur-
den so that each would be doing his
share in raising the amount. Mr..
Lyon considered that this was one

Unless prompt action afforded relief to
the railroads. he said, many of them
might be forced into insolvency.
"1'he labor board can prevent this
catastrophe" he said, "by declaring
that the national agreements, rules
and working conditions coming over
from the war period are terminated at
once; that the question of reasonable

such negotiations the agreements. rules
