WOOD GRUB MENACES
HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Borer Eats into Supports of
Wesfminster Abbey.

LONDON. Dec 25.--A woodboring grub
is threatening TO destroy many of the
ancient architectural wonders OF Lon
don. The grub first made its appear
ance in large numbers some ten years
ago. and had done much damage to the
wood sections OF historic buildings be-
fore it. presence was discovered.
The insects already had eaten into the
roo supports OF I Westminster Hall.
which dates fro. the time OF King Will
lam Rufus and royal architects and en-
gineers were at once set TO work to re-
move the decayed parts and substitute
ironwork. The work. however, was ex-
tremely tedious. and. although II was
carried on throughout the war. II has
just been completed. IT was necessary
to remove all Of the beams and many
of the pillars of the famous building.
The grub was next found to have
made considerable progress In Vest
minister Abbey, but this structure Is now
being successfully repaired. The grub
has also been at work in the House OF
Parliament, the Guildhall and st. Paul's
Cathedral, which also are undergoing
repairs.

Fred Greiner, Erie
Republican Chief,
Dies at Buffalo
Succumbs to Effects of Opera
tion at Age Of 68-Was
Lawyer.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD
BUFFALO, Dec. 25.-Fred Greiner
long recognized as Republican leader
in Erie county and whose influence
spread over the Eighth Judicial Dis
trict, died this morning at his home
from the effects of an operation In
which his right foot was amputated
last Friday. He had complained OF
Ill health for year. but took an active
part in the campaign for Gov Miller
of whom he was a great admirer.
Mr.. Greiner was 6s. being born in Buff
faio on September 25. 1854. He entered
law office as a messenger when IL
years old and was admitted to the bar
in 1873. He formed no partnerships
For the last dozen years he had de-
voted more attention to farming than
to law. He had a farm Of several
hundred acres near Buffalo
He served short term in his youth
as clerk OF the Municipal Court and
held no other public office except that
of Postmaster. to which he was ap-
pointed by President Mckinley In 1901.
He was reappointed under Roosevelt
and Taft and resigned after twelve
years. DuTlflS ms poiitiCdi eei"Si ~
was a member OF the Republican Coun-
ty Committee about ten years, one year
as chairman In 1901
The position of Mr.. Greiner as party
boss was more due to his firmness and
courage than any following built up
out of patronage. In 1906. he made
contest on behalf of Gov. Higgins and
Theodore Roosevelt in which William
c. Warren, then in party control In
Erie county and> taking the Benjamin
Odell side of the issue. was defeated
for State Committeeman. John q.
Wickser became the State Committee
man for the district and Mr.. Greiners
control of party affairs, although at
tackled In primary contests in 1914 1915
and 1916, remained complete.
In the excitement attending the In
vestigation of the sale of a cemetery
to the Board of Supervisors of Erie
county in 1905 for an armory site Mr..
Greiner, who was attorney for the
cemetery association. was indicted.
The indictment was dismissed.
Mr. Greiner leaves his wife. brother
and two sisters. The funeral will be
on Wednesday afternoon.
