IN CHLOROFORM CASE
Even When Death Must
Ensue in Few Hours and
patient Suffers, Flame
of Life Must Be Fanned.
The case of Miss Bertha Krelder, of 920
Weat Susquehanna avenue, who. agon-
Llied at the sight of her mother's sutter-
iiur In the Episcopal Hospital, covered
W the aged woman's fnco with a chloroform
f grange, thereby hastening death several
hours, raised today among lawyers nnd
thyS'Ciana me quesuuu ui uiu jusiuui-
blllty of euthannsla In extreme cases.
MIjj Krelder collapsed nRnln today
when she was taken to City Hall for cx
srrtlnaalon by Dr. John Wnnamaker, 3d,
niii(i surgeon. She Is now at tho Phlla-
tjjipitla Hospital. She seemed to be tcrrl-
City Hall. Miss Krleder Ir n very small
woman, weighing about M pounds.

Dr. John H. Gibbon declared tho ques-
Hon one that has been argued pro and
. eon In medical circles for years to no
avail, becauso of the law which calls this
' act murder. Ho added further" that It
X will continue to bo murder until the law

MURDER, SAYS JURIST.
According to former Judge Maxwell
Stevenson, If Miss Krelder had been In
her right mind she undoubtedly would
have been guilty of murder In the first
5 degree.
No one has the right to take the life
. tt a fAllnw hplnir " fmfri thA Amlnnt orlm
ilnal lawyer, "and according to the act
for Assemoiy, a case or tnis Kind unques-
uunauiy nuuiu uuuiu uuuer me neaa oi
' first-degree murder.
y "I suppose a woman might become so
agonized over the sight of her mother's
aulterlngs as to become mentally unbal
t anccd, and tthen no Jury would convict
f her .of first-desreo murder. But,' never
theless, the law should stand as It Is. To
revise It, giving a physician tho nowcr
to decido to take a life, would be putting
f tremendous powers In his hnnds, Indeed,
ana serious advantage couici Be taken."
f No criminal chnrge will be made against
lss Krelder. Coroner's detective, Frank
Paul, said today that the aged woman's
death probably will be ascribed to heart
trouble. Miss Krelder Is now In St.
Mary's Hospital In a serious condition.
It Is feared her mind has been unbal-
tanced by the 72 hours she spent at her
mower s Deuside.
Bertha Krelder was removed to tho hos
pital last night. Sho Is under the care
, Of Dr. Thomas Clancey. He said she Is
f Hill in a state of collapse, "There Ib
g every inuication tnat she Is neurotic," he
ma. ana is aD&oiuirty silent, alio win
be kept under observation to determine
her rationality."
Tne autopsy probably will be made
tomorrow. The inquest also may be held
then, If the Coroner haa time after hear
ing the case of Ida Rlehl. It became
known today throuch a nler of Miss
Krelder that the woman had chloroform
In the house two months aco. She hnurht
,Jlt at that time to end tho suffering of a
pei cai.
1 So far It has been Impossible to get any
oiaiement from Miss Krleder. She re
fused to discuss the case when sha was
revived after being found unconscious on
the grounds of the hospital.
ft rnysiciirs at the hospltnl say that the
woman's mother, Mrs. Phoebe Krelder,
W who waB 73 years old, could not have lived
W IROrS than n fftW hmira Ktin fltistulned

SCOTT PLANS MOVES
TO RELEASE IDA RIEHL
Attorney Will Swear Out Ha
beas Corpus Writ If Cor
oner's Jury Holds Girl.
Should Ida Rlehl, the 17-year-old girl
who killed Bdmond Hauptfuhrer, her
lover, bo held tomorrow at tho Coroner's
Inquest for tho Grand Jury, It was re
ported today, her nttorney, John R. K.
Scott, will Immediately swear out a writ
of habeas corpus. Tho report this after
noon was that the writ would bo sworn
out before Judge Ferguson or Judgo Mc
Michael In the Court of Quarter Sessions.
Efforts nlso will bo mode to havo tho girl
released on ball.
The mysterious Phlladelphlan who has
announced thnt ho Is willing to go on tho
girl's ball to tho extent of $100,000, was In
telephono communication today with Mr.
Scott. He told the lawyer that In the
event a writ of habeas corpus was sworn
out tomorrow he will bo In tho courtroom
prepared to furnish ball.
BELIEVE QIRL CAN BE FREED.
Lawyers said today that tho laws uf
Pennsylvania governing tho Coroner's ac
tions are very vague, and what legisla
tion thero Is gives tho Coroner wide dis
ci otlonary power. For this reason, they
averred, the girl might never be brought
to trial. Ho would bo perfectly within
his legal right, so authorities state.
If he should discharge Miss Rlehl
at tho Inquest tomorrow morning, Tho
Coroner's Court is a commitment court,
and the Coroner a committing Judge. Ho
has full powers to hold or to discharge
In view of Coroner Knight's sympathy
for tho girl attorneys say this action does
not seem as remote as It might. Tho le
gal annals of tho county dlvulgo no cose
where a self-confessed slayer hns been
discharged by the Coroner, but neither
do they show a case where tho defend
ant ever before has had tho full sympa
thy of tho prosecuting officers of the
county and Commonwealth.
But oven If the Coroner would decide
to hold Ida, tho jury might return a
verdict that would mako it Impossible
for him to do so. Weaver, the English
barrister. In 'nls comprehensive nccount
of the Common Law on Coroners, says:
"The Coroner must also, when the ver
dict will justify him In so doing. Issue
his warrant to apprehend the offender and
commit him to prison."
GIRL COULD BE REARRESTED.
But even If tho girl Is liberated by the
Coroner a warrant for her arrest could
at onco be Issued by tho murdered boy's
family or by any citizen. It Is probable
that the family would take this action.
More than half a dozen opinions by
Judges in this State have further estab
lished that the Coroner Is bound to ac
cept wnntevcr presentment the Jury
makes. He cannot flno them for not
finding according to the evidence. Even
If they choose to assume tho responsibil
ity of vloldtlnir their oaths, he Is bound
to accept their verdict and has no right J
io lorce uiein iu uruig in it veruiui in
accord with his Ideas of tho facts and
the law.
This point wns conclusively proved in
1003 In this city when the Coroner twice
refused to recognize a disagreement of
the Jury and made them And In favor of
the plaintiff. A higher court subsequently
refused to acknowledge the verdict. The
Jury Is Instructed by the Coroner, but
there Is no method of punishing them
for an Improper finding.
Judge Sulzberger, In a letter to former
Coroner Ford, in 1911. created a legal
stir by stating that the only time the
Coroner could discharge a man accused
of homicide was when the District Attor
ney admitted there was not enough evi
dence to hold him for the Grind Jury.
But every authority who has expressed
himself on the opinion of the Judge says
it Is not law.
It has even been doubted on good legal
grounds, whether the Coroner has the
power to commit where the verdict Is
murder or manslaughter. It Is generally
conceded that he may have this power.
"COP" SAVES BOY
Policeman Rescues Lad in Time as
Heavy Wall Falls.
The quick action of Policeman Reule, of
the 4th and York streets station, pre
vented four-year-old John Gangloff from

forward and carried him to safety Just
as the wall fell. The policeman received
slight Injuries from flying bricks.

PRESBYTERIANS MERGE
EDUCATIONAL WORK
Dr. Joseph W. Cochran, of
Philadelphia, May Head
Combined Board.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 27 The Pres
byterian General Assembly has voted to
merge the college board of the church
with tho Board of Education, thus vir
tually bringing under ono head all work
of religious education In which the Pres
byterian Church Is Interested.
While no official Intimation has been
given as to who will be selected to head
the new department. It Is considered like
ly that the Rev. Dr. Joseph W. Cochran,
of Philadelphia, president of the Board
of Education, will be favored for that
position. Doctor Cochran Is a strong re
ligious lender and one of tho ablest men
In the Presbyterian Church.
Tho decision to merge tho two educa
tional bodies of tho Church came after
a prolonged discussion, which furnished
tho liveliest feature of the day.
Tho report of tho Special Committee on
Educational Policy In reality consisted
of three Bubreports, all providing for dia
metrically opposed policies.
It was tho opinion of eight members of
the committee that the assembly ought
to create a new board, to be known as
tho Board of Christian Education of the
Presbyterian Church In the United States'
of America, which should absorb the
present work of the Board of Education,
the college board and the boards of publi
cation and Sunday school work.
Six members of the committee were of
the opinion that there should be no
merging of the boards, but that the exist
ing boards should be strengthened and
their dutlffl more clearly defined. The
other member of tho committee, the Rev.
Dr. J. Willis Baer, was In favor of merg
ing only the board of education and the
college board. Doctor Baer was tho only
one In favor of a merger of two of the
boards, and It fell to his lot to defend his
opinion. He did It so effectually that
when the matter was put to a vote the
assembly was overwhelmingly In his
favor.
Evangelism among tho Negroes will be
emphatic. Only 35,000 out of 10,000,000 of
the colored race are In the Presbyterian
Church, It Is pointed out, and it even a
small proportion of the money spent on
freedmen and their descendants who are
In the North Cor schools, colleges, evan
gelism and church erection, as has been
expended In the South, there would not
now be the cry of comparative neglect
from the colored population In the States
north of Mason and Dixon line. Pres
byterian chaplains of the United States
will hereafter be appointed after a com
mittee of the assembly has passed upon
their candidacy.

Many love missives, business lettera

occupants of the car and causing con

Tho driver, Willis Jones, 51 Armat

to have taken the car out at 2 a. m. to

WOULD-BE LYNCHER BALKED
Attempt to Lasso Mounted Policeman
Ends in Failure.
Lynching Is not allowed In this city,
but Fred Miller, of Martin's Village,

Mreet Stntlon nnd Btnrte'd out with a
rope to lynch tho wreckers.
Then he got tho Idea that the wrockors
woro uniforms. Ho mistook Mounted
Policeman Pearl for one of tho gang and
tossed a lasso over his hend in the east
side of City Hall But Pearl has seen
action on the plains, so he dodged artisti
cally. Jumped from his horse and cor
ralled Miller before he could say Jack
Robinson.
Miller was turned over the Police
Surgeon Wnnamaker for examination.

A man who hit n policeman on the head

His "dictatorship" got him Into trouble
yesterday, when he saw Policeman Holz

attempting to arrest a friend of his, Ad
vancing on the bluecoat with a broadax,
Korgonlck smashed the policeman over
the head with the flat side of the Instru
ment, It was a stunning blow nnd Holz

pursued Korgonlck, firing three shots.
Korgonlck was later arrested at his home.

ACTRESS ENLISTS FOR
CAUSE OF SUFFRAGE
Father Leads Pretty Missflar
garet Hogan to "Votes for
Women" Light.
If all the fathers In this country were
like the father of pretty Miss Margaret
Hogan, now playing in "Find tho Wom
an" at the Lyric, thero wouldn't be any
necessity of tho young women distributing
i suffrage literature In tho street or other-
wlso working for the "causo." He not only
, became converted to suftrngc himself, but
ho encouraged his daughter to work for
It; nnd that Is how she happened to make
her "suffrage" debut today, distributing
printed arguments for the "cause" and
helping mnko collections at the noon
open-air meeting of the Equal Franchise
Society of Philadelphia, on the municipal
lot on Filbert street, between Broad and
Flftenth streets.
This was really her second appearance.
Her first, behind tho footlights, waa not
nearly as trying as today's, out thero
under tho open sky, with not a single
row of lights between her nnd the "audi
ence" or "spectators." MIos Hogan con
fessed that she was a bit nervous as
sho offered the "literature" to the assem
bled men or held out the tray to a hurry
Ins passerby. But she Is imbued with a
conviction that the "cause" Is Just, nnd
sho Intends continuing her active work.
The story of her father's "conversion"
Is a tributo to Hiss Bertha Sapovltz, to-
uuy s apeaKer. ne is xnomaa u. Hogan,
nn oll-and-gas-burner agent, at 33 South
Oth street, next door to the headquarters
of the Equal Franchise Society. His at
titude toward suffrage bordered between
strict neutrality and a confirmed "nntl"
sentiment. About three weeks ago he
saw Miss Sapovltz speaking from an
automobile In front of the postofllce and
stopped to listen Just a minute to hear
what the woman had to say. The minute
stretched Into a half hour, and he left at
the close of the talk an enthusiastic "trail
hitter" for suffrage.

NICHOLS' INJURIES FATAL
Ex-Policeman Dies From Effects of
Fall From Water Wagon.
Edward C. Nichols, of 2125 Federal
street, a former policeman who served
five years In the Eastern Penitentiary for
shooting Lieutenant Dever at City Hall,
died today nt the Medlco-Chlrurglcal
Hospital. Nichols fell from a water wagon
nt 18th and Filbert streets, May 21, while
Intoxicated, nnd received Injuries thnt
caused his death.
Nichols was A policeman for nine years.
Ho wns dismissed In May, 1008, for con
duct unbecoming an officer. This so en
raged him that he went to police head
qunrtera nt City Hall, armed, nnd tried
to get Into the ortlco of the then superin
tendent of police, John B. Taylor. Other
bluecoats halted him.
An argument followed and Nichols
drew n revolver and shot Lieutenant
Dever. Tho latter recovered, nnd Nichols
wns sent to the Eastern Penitentiary for

GRUNDY LEADS RETALIATORY
STEPS AGAINST GOVERNOR
Will Discharge All Children From
Mills DccaMse of Child Labor Bill.
The manufacturing interests of the
Stato already have begun retaliatory
measures because of tho passage of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh!! child labor bill. Jo
seph R. Grundy, Republican leader of
Bucks County and president of the Penn
sylvania Manufacturers' Association, has
taken tho lead by Issuing orders that
all boys and girls less than 16 years old
be discharged from the Bristol plants
