YJI.C.A.ISBLAMED
FOR LAD'S DROWNING
Coroner and Jury Charge Gross
Negligence in Inquest Over
Boy That Died in Pool.
The Young Men's Christian Association
was held at least Indirectly responsible
for the death of 13-year-old Vf. Houston
Do Crny, of 2337 Itngert street, who waa
drowned last Saturdny while swimming In
tho tank of tho North Branch of the
Y. M, C A. at Gcrmantown and Lehigh
avenues, by tho coroner's Jury today.
Tho verdict said that death was due to
gross caroleraness and negligence on the
part of tho association. As a result, all
swimming pools In tho city mny bo
ciosca.
Coroner William R. Knight, Jr., in
charging tho Jury, said that thcro was
no evldenco of criminal negllgcnco on
tho part of the 1. M. C, A., lut that
there won a prima facto caso of gross
negllgcnco and carelessness.
Tho Inquest thlB morning was tho first
tho Coroner has conducted personally In
nenrly a month, and ho made a scathing
denunciation of tho methods used at
Y. M, C. A. branches to safeguard tho
lVos of tho swimmers.
In questioning Harry Heobner, of 1323
North 12th street, executive secretary of
tho branch, Coroner Knight said:
"Tho association ovldently had a sys
tem of checking oft the swimmers which
Is otdor than tho Institution Itself. If
everything had been done to safeguard
these bovs' lives, this lad would never
have been drowned, and a thing llko that
could never have happened.
"If such a thing could happen, and If It
can happen, then you better shut up your
pool and all the other pools In tho city,
You Invito boys to tako advantage of
your facilities nnd then you do not safe
guard their lives."
Tho testimony showed that tho drowned
lad went In swimming at 11 o'clock Sat
urday morning. At 11:30 all tho swimmers
wero called out by Instructor Gcorgo
Schaoffer, of 2001 North 13th street, who
wished to bid them farewell. Ho had ac
cepted a Blmllar position In Baltimore.
Schaeffcr testified that Bomrj of tho boys
then returned to tnko n flnal plunge. Tho
body of DcCray was not found until 1
o'clock that nfternoon, when Ralph Mc
Brldo, of 2007 East Chclten avenue, going
In for a swim, saw tho body In tho tank.
Russell White, of 1212 West Dauphin
street, an employe at tho North Branch,
told the Coroner that a check of the boys
Is taken as they enter tho lockers to un
dress, nnd another check Is taken as
they go out to the tank or gymnasium.
"What systems hao you to check tho
boys ns they como out from the pool?"
Coroner Knight asked.
"Wo have none." was tho reply.
"Therefore, It Is possible for a thing
llko this to happen every day," tho
Coroner said.
"Yes. sir," Whlto nnswered.
"And thnt Is what you cnll a checking
system," tho Coroner remarked.

SIDELIGHTS ON ENCAMPMENT
OF STATE'S KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
Three Gallants, Who Would Go Forth to Meet a Dragon for a
Lady If Need Be, Flinch at Mention of Fox-trot
and Take to Their Knightly Heels.
"In days of old, when knights wero
bold," they were also so gallant that
there was never any question about It.
It was "ladles first," last nnd always.
Grand balls, bal masquc3 and other af
fairs that afforded the opportunity of
dancing with tho fair sex wero eagerly
anticipated by the knights. No knight
would think of missing such a function,
nay, horses and chains could not drag
him from the scene of gaiety and tho
music of tho minstrels.
Those times are o'er, It Is sad to relate.
Not that the modern day knights are
less gallant than their forbears. Mero
knights' opinions of woman have re
mained unchanged through the pges.
But a horrible innovation, a product of
the Twentieth Century, has cast a blight
over balls and similar functions. Knlghta
of old would laugh with glee If they
could sea their fellow-knights of today
undereo torture of modern dances
This happiness destroyer Is tho fox
trot, i Numbers of knights declared their
willingness to go through fire or water
at tho command of the ladles, but
balked at doing the fox trot. Moat
of those slunk off, but not before, sev
eral names wero learned. Tho fear of
tho dance preyed so on tho mind of ono
knight that ha fled from the city yester
day afternoon for his home In Scranton.
Ho was Sir Knight D. Walt Wagner, of
tho Coeur do Lion Commandery, No. 17.
Tho other delinquents that refused to
venture on tho floor at Convention Hall,
where tho Knights Templar ball waa
given, wero Sir Knights Charles I, Baker
and Oliver Lenhardt, of Hutchinson Com
mandery, No. 82, which halls from Nor
Irlstown. Sir Knight Baker Is known
among his fellows as the "ladles' idol"
If Sir Knight Thomas Shipley, eminent
commander of Gethsemane Commandery,
No. 75, seems a little cool In his man
ner, one must not bo surprised. He Is
general manager of tho largest Ice plant
In tho world at York, his home town.
Ono of tho "llvo wires" of Soranton is
Division Commander B. A. Zimmerman.
He Is ono of tho most progressive citi
zens of the city and never misses a trip
the knights of his division take.
Tho patriarch of tho Mellta of Scranton
Commandery is Sir Knight Victor Koch,
Tho "oldest Inhabitant" of Scranton, ho
eayo he is 81 years old. Ho has an
other claim to fame In being tho pro
prietor of (he Scranton House, which
started almost befora tha memory of
man.

GOVERNOR LAYS DOWN POLICY
FOR PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD
Governor Brumbaugh, at llarrisbury yesterday, Jald dotcn a definite pol
icy to be followed by the new Public Service Commission. The Governor
called the members together for the express purpose of outlining tha new
lollcy to be pursued. The members will meet for organisation next week.
In the. course of his remarks, the Governor said:
"The commission must be fair to the corporations, but it must not bo
fair to them at tho expense of the public. It must take the placo of that
competition which has virtually ceased to exist In public utilities and see
that public service companies charge no higher rate's than they would If
they had direct competition.
"You have a great opportunity for service to tha people of the Com
monwealth. You arc expected to act ns regulators of conditions in public
utilities.
"It Is my desire that business of the body be attended to with prompt
ness and dispatch. It Is to be a full-time commission and will, although It
has judicial functions, sit like a business board."

THOUSANDS VIEW BODY
OF IDA RMIL'S VICTM
Funeral of Edmond Haupt
fuhrer Delayed by Crowds
of the Curious, Chiefly Girls.
Tho prcsenco of thousands of younS
women and other spectators from every
part of tho city, who thronged the Haupt
fuhrer home, nt 2900 North LAwrenco
street, to view the body of Edmond
Hauptfuhrcr, whom Ida niehl killed be
causo ho would not marry her, delayed
tha funeral of ths Blaln man until lonR
after 2 o'clock tills afternoon, A squad
of pollco kept In check eager crowds of
curiosity seekers nnd friends of the young
man.
Among the mourners wan tho girl's
father, who closed his restaurant last
night nnd today, out of respect for tho
man Ma daughter klltod after ho refused
to marry hor. "Their losa Is our loss,"
ho said, referring1 to Hauptfuhrer'a fam
ily. Services for tho dead youth wero con
ducted by the Ilev. Qustav Blunck, pastor
of tho Hnty Evangelical Lutheran Church,
9th street and Lehigh avenuo, Mrs.
Ulunck sam; a nolo and tho choir of tho
Holy Crosi Church sang nt tho house
and nt tho Greenmount Cemetery. 2d
street and Bristol pike, whero tho In
terment took place.
A strenuous effort will bo mado today
to havo Ida Ittehl released on ball. De
spite tho fact that a murder caso In
ordinary cases Is nonballable, John II. K.
Scott, tho girl's nttornoy, will tako tho
matter up at a conference with the Court
of Quarter Sessions this morning nnd
he believes thcro will bo no dldlculty In
obtaining her release until the trial
"A first degree murder," he explained,
"ia bailable when tho presumption of
RUllt Is very slight, nnd I do not think
there Is any ono In tho city who will not
ngrco that In this caso the presumption
of guilt Is almost nil and that this Is ono
lnstnnce nbovo all others whero ball
should bo permitted.
Should tho request bo granted, tho girl
would bo allowed to return to her homo
on Cambria street, although her lawyer
said It might bo preferable to keep her
In tho Philadelphia Hospital, whero sho
Is now nwattlng tho Inquest to bo held
Trlday morning.
Tho man who put up the bnll, tho at
torney declared, was so overcome by
emotion at Ida Rlehl's sad story that he
could scarcely speak, nnd, although ho
has never seen the girl, he said ho be
lieved her story to bo true, and con
sidered It one of tho most pathetic on
record.
This offer waa but one of thousands
that nro pouring In each day. The entire
city seems aroused over tho case, and
many people, In addition to expressing
sympathy for tho girl and condoning her
act, go so far as to say sho was Justi
fied In shooting Edmond Hauptfuhrer.
At tho hospital tho nurses and phjsl
clnns havo been moved by tho girl's
story nnd her frail youth and beauty.
