In his sermon last night at Grace

"What The Governor and rhe Legisla
ture Might Do. an.l Should Do, for the

lion," the Rev. Dr. John D. Fox praised

he says he will do," said Dr. Fox, "he

greatest men in what p-oinises to be the
greatest age in the history of the

The Rev. Dr. William X. Yates,
speaking at the Fourth Street Church
of God on the theme, "training the
People," also chided the peition sign
ers, many of whom, he declared, are
members of churches.

CUNNINGHAM RESIGNS AS
DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
C«tl»«l From First Pas*.
vour profession has led us both even
tually to concur in the wisdom of your
action.
"You have had a most honorable and
creditable career in the Department of
Justice. You have with dignity, abil
ity and industry discharged all your
public duties. Your resignation is a
distinct loss to the people. 1 wish it
might not be, and yet I wish you, in
your new field of effort, the greatest
possible success
"I desire to add that my many years
of association with you have eudeared
you to me, and I frankly record my
gratitude in counting you among my
friends. This relation I hope shall al
ways eontlMiie.''
Attorney General Brown, on reading
Governor Brumbaugh's letter of ac
ce|*anee of Mr. Cunningham's Testa
tion. wrote as follows:
"I I>eg to add my regret to yours in
the resignation of Mr. Cunningham. 1
have held him in high regard as lawyer
and man, and ha 1 hoped that he would
continue his efficient service for the
Commonwealth. He has my best wishes,
and 1 have no doubt that he will
achieve the success in private practice
which his ability deserves."
iMr. Cunningham, it is understood,
will remain in llarrisburg wbere he will
take up his residence and continue his
law practice. He is a member of the
bars of the Western Pennsylvania coun

Many other cases involving the inter
ests of the Commonwealth have been

Bowman To-morrow Will Alter Its
Terms to Make Life of Contract
Ten Instead of Fifteen Years
Two amendments are to be offered to
the Bowman ordinance which gives the
Harrisburg Light and Power Company
i permission to build a coal wharf on the
| Hargot island in consideration of the
city's getting 1,200 tons of river coal
' free, when the measure comes up on
: second reacting at the meeting of the
i City Commissioners to-morrow after
noon. One will cut down the term of
i the proposed contract, to be entered
into bet ween the city and light com
, panv, from fifteen to ten years. The
other will contain a clause whereby the
light company, if it finds it impossible
to got 15.000 tons of coal from the
river annually, may, after giving ninety
days' notice to the city, cease working
under the contract and remove the
wharf and its equipment from the is
land. Experts, however, do not believe
the supply of river coal will become ex
hausted during the next ten years.
\\ ith that same amendment is incor
porated a provision that should the
light company decide, at the beginning
of any one year, during the term of its
I contract, to cease using the coal wharf,
it will not be required to furnish the
city with the required 1,200 tons of
coal during that year. Yet if the quit
notice is not given before the month
of April then the coal for that year
must be supplied to the city without
charge.
Commissioner father of the
ordinance, will offer the amendments
and it is expected that the measure will
i>e passed on second reading to-morrow
and then laid over for printiing.

HARRISBFHRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 1915.
MORE BONES OF MURDERED
GIRL ARE MD TO-DAY
C«atiaae4 From Flrat Pace.
water from a garden hose. In this way
the dirt from the hole will all be sub
jected to a minute examination to bring
to light the least possible clue that
might determine the identity of the
murdered girl.
The searchers have been cautioned
to watch carefully for bits of jewelry
or particles of hair combs or anything
that may lead to the identity of the
victim, but by noon to-day nothing of
great value in that particular line had
been uncovered.
As the searchers proceed they are
convinced more than ever that the body
was buried under the cellar steps after
the house had beeir built and occupied
for some time. This opinion is based
not on the condition of the bones, but
ou the fact of the discoveries of pieces
of concrete which at one time were
probably part of the cellar floor.
Find Cloth and a Button
One small bit of cloth, about a square
inch- iu size, but black from its having
been under the earth, was among the
day's discoveries. In one shovelful was
a white bone button such as is used on
undergarments. Everything of this
character is being preserved and will
be turned over to Coroner Eckinger.
That some of the bones are black
and others red-spotted, seems to indi
cate that the murderer first tried to dis
pose of the body by burning it in fire,
but being unsuccessful in that put it in
the cramped grave and used quicklime
to hasten the decomposition of the
body. The experience of the workmen,
whose hands were burned while wash
ing the big bones that were uncovered
first, is believed to prove the use of
quicklime. The smaller bones of the
victim's hands and those that were not
very deep in the flesh seem to have
been charred as if burned by fire. The
workmen to-day engaged in washing
the silt used gloves so as not to suffer
the experience of Friday.
Coroner Eckinger will turn the bones
discovered this morning to Dr. R. L.
Perkins, whom lie has asked to make a
report on the probable time the murder
was committed. Coroner Eckinger spoke
publicly of the case for the first time
this morning. He said:
"There is no doubt in my mind that
murder has been done. The investigation
is out of my hands, for I have turned
it over to the District Attorney who
will carry it through. I did not ignore
the police department in this matter.
Knowing that the |>olice do not have
the money to prosecute a search such
as this will make necessary. I turneil
it over to the proper county authori
ties."
Hutchison Offers Aid
Chief of Police Hutchison, whose de
partment has not done any active in
vestigation in the case, said this morn
ing. when asked if his department will
carry on an investigation independent
of that started by the county officials:
I can see no good reason why 1
should investigate this affair. I "con
ferred with both District Attornev
Stroup and Coroner Eckinger and have
assured them both that should they at
any time want my assistance I will be
very willing to aid them iu anv wav.
i rom niv experience in the police busi
ness I am convinced that the countv
officials are doing everything that the
police couUi ilo.
Tunnel Theory Abandoned
The theory that the cellar had been
tunnelled from the outside by the mur
derer has been abandoned as a result
of the discoveries of to-day. Thomas,
who dug the original hole* said he. is
sure he now has it open to the di
mensions of the fif-st opening and he
has found no indications of anv further
digging. The walls and bottom of the
hole are hard and firm. Cashinau savs
that even ten years after a hole has
been dug and tilled in the proportions
of the hole can be determined.
"It is particularly so in this case."
he said, "for the ground is hard
mostly gravel—and my men hard lots
of trouble going through it. It was a
difficult task and the murderer must
have used a digging iron, so straight
are the walls."'
Another theory that has been ad
vanced is that the murderer could
have come 111 from 'he outside during
one of th» numerous periods when the
house was unoccupied.
Much of the work of investigation
by the eouaty authorities consists of
carefully interviewing those who at
one time occupied the house. The pub
licity given to the finding of the skele
ton has caused a lot of talk and it is
possible that the county authorities
will be aided by the neighbors in the
vicinity of the "house of mystery."
Hunt Records for Missing Girls
' An additional search of the "missing
girl" records at police headquarters has
failed to turn up anything of value
and the police are about ready to be
lieve that it was the body of a girl
from some other town who enme to
Harrisburg and was murdered. The
statement of Dr. Perkins, Coroner's
physician, that the body may have been
buried for from ten to fifteen years
has caused a further search to be made
in the "missing girl" reeords without
any tangible clue b°ing discovered.
The house was built iu 1892 and
the names of the occupants have been
obtained, with the exception of those
of a family believed to be Germans,
wHho are said to have occupied it some
time between 1902 and 1906. Neigh
bors could remember little of this fam
ily except that they believed the man
was employed by the 801 l Manufactur
ing Company. This could not be eon
firmed.
The other occupants, so far as city
directories for the years show, were
Dickson G. Kitzmiller, clerk of Phila
delphia and Reading Kailroad Company,
1893 and 1894: Charles E. Eberly,
from 1895 to 1900; Dr. Charles E.
Ayres. 1901 and 1902; Charles S. Bber
sole, 1906; Coleman Hoopes, for six
or seven years prior to 1913; Jefferson
B. Regar, for three months until Feb
ruary. 1914, when, after a short inter
val, M. E. Stoner, the present occupant,
moved in.
County Detective Walters i> now in
terviewing the persons in these fami
lies in his efforts to clear up the mys
tery.

State Dependents' Commission Recom
mends Their Abolition in Report
to the Pennsylvania Legislature
The State Dependents' Commission,
of .vhich Cjlonei P. C. Boyle, of Oil
City, a member of the State Board of
Charities, is chairman, has made a re
port to be submitted to the Legislature
in which it recommends the abolish
ment of pcor boards throughout the
State, in a line with the bill recently
offered in the Senate by Senator Hil
ton, the consolidation of the poor laws;
the creation of district industrial farms
to replace jails, and exclusive state
aid for the care of the insane, the fee
ble-minded, epileptics and inebriates.
At present State and county divide
these duties, but the Commission be
lieves State control will ensure equal
benefits to all patients, permit of a bet
ter system of classification; facilitate
transfers and generally promote the
most efficient methods Of vocational
treatment and medical and business ad
ministration. Exclusive state aid and
control of charity is deprecated. There
are at present 1,100 i>oor laws on tbe
statute bo:iks, 800 of which are locad or
»|Mvial in their application. There are
100 poor districts, and 80 almshouses
in the 67 counties of the State, which
tends to great ran fusion, in tbe admin
istration of local relief.
Meet To-night
Both branches of the Legislature
will meet to-night, the Senate at 9.30
and the House at 9 o'clock.

CLASS OF 250 MEN
O. P. Berkley Speaks at, Yesterday's
Session at Derry Street S. S.
Attendance at the Sunday school
sessions of the Derry Street United
Brethren men's class has been growing
by leaps and founds during the last six
■weeks. Last Sunday the high mark of
230 was reached, and the executive
committee of the class believed that
this record would be hard to surpass.
Yesterday afternoon, however, the at
tendance reached 250 straight. The
chairman of the rooms committee,
Frank McDonald, fortunately had
placed 50 more coat hooks in the cloak
room, and by his foresight everybody
found a place to hang his overcoat.
O. P. Beckley, one of the teachers
of the class. gave a stirring talk to the
inen on the need of the father taking
an interest iu the boy's spiritual wel
fare.
"An ounce of fatherhood is worth a
pound of Sunday school," he declared.
"'Not that I would underestimate the
value of the Sunday school; far from
it, for the Sunday school is doing more
for the boys and girls of this country
than possibly any other organization.
But a father is his boy's hero and it is
he who can do most with the lad."

Royalton Shale Brick Plant Did Not
Resume Operations To-day
'Midvlletown, Feb. 15.—Inclement
weather alone prevented to-day the re

The concern has a number of large or
ders and tbe management now is con
sidering the advisability of enlarging
the plant. Only recently the Royalton

of the road leading into 'M'id-d'letown so

largely from the short interest, which
continued to make capital out of the
diplomatic situation. Steel, Beading,
Union Pacific, New York Central and j
others in the international list record-1
ed losses of 1 to 1% points from their i
best of the first hour and specialties!
showed similar declines. Another drop ]

quotation in many years revived rumors
of further gold imports from Canada.
Bonds were heavy, with indications
of foreign offerings.
