REBURIAL OF SOLDIERS'
BONES JOINS THE PAST
WITH ERA OF PROGRESS
Just as Mayor Starts Transit
Project Tomorrow the Re
mains of Seven Colonials
Will Be Reintorred
FOUND IN EXCAVATIONS
nn nt ilm Kimnirciit burials ever held
In Tki1ntnhln tviav h witnessed tO- !
morrow afternoon, at the northeast cor
ner of Washington Square, th and Wal
nut streets. A plain, pine coffin, contain-
Ing the bones of seven Colonial soldiers,
which were removed from their resting
place of more than a century In the J
course of the sewer excavations there,
will be lowered Into the ground for the
second time.
It has been decided to hold the burial
at S:30 o'clbck In the afternoon, for nt
that hour Mayor Blankenburg will push
a silver spade Into the ground at City
Hall to Inaugurate a new era of progress
for Philadelphia. The old and the new
In history will thus bo united by poctlo
symbolism. Traditions of a past, long
dead and dreams of greater future, soon
to be, will bo brought together on
grounds of present reality.
On the City Hall Plain the Municipal
Band will play to stir lnrplrlng visions of
the future greatness of Philadelphia, But
In Washington Square there will be no
music, not even n martial dirge. No
ceremony ot any kind will mark the
burial there. And' this will be ns It was
when tho men nero burled first, 13? or
11 years ago, for, according to historians,
they were American prisoners of war,
ho died In tho British prison, then lo
cated at the southeast corner of th and
Walnut streets.
It Is difficult to associate anr poetic
sentiment with tho building of a fewer.
Yet a visit to 6th and Walnut streets
and a vision of the veneration nnd respect
paid to theso mute remains of our ances
tral Revolutionary heroes, by even tho
day laborers there, will bring conviction
that patriotism Is a real and a vital thing.
It Is llktly that this will be the lost
time thnt thetie remains will cer be seen
again. The lapse of more than a century
baa left but few of tho bones Intact, nnd
when progress demands that the ground
again be turned at this spot. It Is prob
able tho last of the bones will have turned
to dust.
The spot whero the bones were uncov
ered Is near the tablet erected In 1900 oy
the Daughters of the Revolution as 'n
titbute to the Revolutionary soldiers
burled there. Tho tablet bears the fol
lowing Inscription; "In memory of tho
many American soldiers who, during the
war for Independence, died prisoners of
war In the Jails of Philadelphia and were
burled during tho ears 1777 and JJ7S."
The men who took charge of tho bones
when they were uncovered nre George
Jeffrey, the forman for Peoples Brothers,
who are building the new sewer there,
and M. F. Morgan, one of the engineers.

A drop of 14 points In tho humidity
caved l'hllndelphlans from suffering as

cessively torrid weather of yesterday.
Although the thermometer registered only
two points less than yesterday, the hu
midity reached but 71, as compared with
65 yesterday.
Cooler weather is predicted for tonight.
Two deaths have been reported as a
result of the heat wave, which has
brought the warmest September weather
that Philadelphia has experienced in five
years.
Joseph R. Baum, E( years old, of 55
Duval atrcet, a gardener on tho estate
of Harlan Page, Allen's lane, German
town, Is the latest victim. He died today
n the Germantown Hospital, where he
was taken last night after collapsing at
thu close of the day's work.
It Is also thought that heat was respon
sible for the death of an unidentified man
whoso body was found today on a bench
in Independence Square. Although it 'was
established that death was due to heart
failure. It was believed by physicians at
the Pennsylvania Hospital that this was
brought on by the heat.
At noon today the mercury was two
degrees lower than yesterday, when the
thermometer reached 91 at midday. It
was but S3 today.
The forecast of tho weather man for
tonight and tomorrow calls for more sea
sonable weather than that experienced
during the last few days. There Is no
rain In sight, but the wind has shifted
from tho south to tho northwest, and
this Is expected to bring some relief.
The weather forecaster did not venture
to say when the hot spell would end.
He contented himself with saying that
It should be cooler tonight.
It was predicted early In the day that
the temperature might reach St or
during tho day; but the shirting winds
caused the changed prediction.
George Henry, Carlisle and Wolf streets,
was overcome by the heat at 16th nnd Mc
Kean streets. He was removed to St,
Agnes Hospital.
Five months' old Mary D. Mlch)fri,
1010 South Reese street, died at her home
this afternoon from the heat.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
TOLD OF IN LETTER
Estranged From Wife, Writes
He Will Kill Son and
Himself
A possible mutder and suicide case
somewhere In this city was revealed to
day by a letter mailed hera and turned
over to the Atlantic City police by a
relative of Frank Carman, of that place.
Carman has killed his 10-ycar-old son
Leon and himself, It Is feared.
Carman, who was once a prosperous
painting contractor, mailed the letter at
Station II, on the northwest corner of
Germantown avenue and Cambria street,
last night. This is the only address
known to the police on which to base a
clue, as relatives do not know where
Carman may be found.
The tetter stated that Carman would
have killed Leon and himself by the time
the letter was received. Because of past
actions of Carman the police' are con
vinced he has carried out his plan. Sev
eral months ago he became separated
from his wife. One night he trailed her
and viciously attacked the woman and a
man In whose apartment he found her.
Both were dangerously wounded, but re
covered. Bevsoteen-yearrold Isabella Carman left
her father after this episode and jolnod
her mother. Later she was spirited away
from the city at her mother's directions,
according tq Carman's charges. He left
Atlantic City a week ago to come to
Philadelphia and search for her. He had
been deeply attached to his children and
the disappearance of Isabella, coming on
top of his troubles with his wife, seemed
to mak Mm despondent.
When he left Atlantic City Carman
took Leon with hm, In tiis letter Cor.
man asks that the end of himself and
Leon be published In ordsr that Mrs.
Carman, who Is now employsd in a cloth
ing houss In Atlantic City, may coins to
this city and claim the bodies.
He forgives her for the troubles ha
claims h has caused him and expresses
a (Ualra to have hr alone takt charge
of the remains. Mrs, Carman has not
been notified of the receipt of the ktter.

'MAYOR INCONSISTENT,'
. COLONEL POTTER SAYS
"You Supported Mc During Ad
ministration You Now At
tack' He Charges
Colonel Sheldon Totter, who Is oppos
Ing Director Torter for the Independent
nomination for Mayor, has defended his
record a Director of public Safety and
protested against the "slating" of candi
dates In a Utter to Mayor -Blankenburg.
Colonel Totter's letter Is a reply to an
attack made upon him by tho Mayor In
an Interview .published yesterday. He
.. i i . i. frit Mi ffnn
rerora to tno interview ..-..
Mayor was qupted as saying that "Di
rector of rubllo Safety I'otter woa ns
bad In the usa of the police In politics
In 1903 as the gang ever was."
Colonel Totter says that at that tlmo
Mr. Blankenburg was one of tho Mayor's
advisers and was also a member of the
civic committee In chnrge of tho cam
paign. "In addition, you were a candidate for
public office." he writes. "I met with you
and your colleagues, Including sUch
respected names as John Converse, Mah
lon Kline, Doctor Musser, Charles Emory
Smith, Wayne MacVeagh, William T.
Tllden nnd perhnps others, who I cannot
now recall; you know every step taken
by the administration nnd Its ofrtcers at
that time, all of which were the suhject
of conferences with you and the other
advisers of the Mayor.
Colonel Totter tells Mayor Blankenburg
that "you never charged mo then, nor at
any time until now, with an Improper use
of the police. More than that, you were
elected at the only election held while I
was Director, nnd you accepted an elec
tion which you now intimate was obtained
by the usa of tho police."
Ho also says in his letter that on a
number of occasions Mayor Blankenburg
expressed tho hope that he might suc
ceed him as Mayor. "And yet you must
have known then, as you have charged
now," he states, "that I was as bad in
the use of the police In 1905 (when you
ran and were elected to office) as the
gang ever was."
Colonel Potter calls the Mayor's atten
tion to the fact that he "struck off from
the assjssors' list 72,000 fraudulent names
and caused tho arrest of nearly 1000 im
ported thugs, strong-arm rncn and re
peaters."' Colonel I'otter concludes his letter by
praising the BlankonbWg administration,
and polpts out the 'necessity of electing
an unbossod man aa Mayor to handle
the expenditure of the 200,000,000 to be
spent for Improvements during the next
administration.
