Erb Is shown in the middle and Mrs. Erb's sister, Mrs. Katherine Boisel is shown at the bottom. She is the woman who killed the captMn. Mrs. Erb was unable to attend the funeral of her husband, she being held in jail. ERB FUNERAL SERVICES HELD Wife Refused Permission to Attend. Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-Wlth all the pomp and ceremony which a full company of the National Guard and a regimental band can lend to such an occasion, the funeral of Capt. J. Clayton Erb, who was shot and killed by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Katherine Beisle, at his home, Red Fables, in , Delaware county, last Tuesday night, was held Sunday from his late Philadelphia home, 336 South Thirteenth street. He was buried In West Laurel Hill cemetery beside the grave of his mother. vThe funeral was one of the largest held in this city In recent years, and It took more than two hours for the vast body of prominent men from all parts of the city and state who attended the funeral to pass through the room where lay the body of the murdered man.'"- . ,, In the services preached by Rev. I. C. Hoffman, the Erb family pastor, there was no direct mention of the sud den manner of the captain's death, nor of the widow and sister-in-law, both of whom are in the Media Jail, awaiting the grand Jury's indictment. Although the attorneys for Mrs. Erb made repeated efforts to have her re leased to attend the funeral, they were unsuccessful, and the only near relatives present were three sisters and a brother-in-law. 1 .... MUEY GRANTED LIQUOR LICENSE No Remonstrance Was Filed Against Him. After awaiting the outcome of the case against him in city court, and making a protracted investigation of his fitness, the county commissioners have granted a liquor license to George Muey. Action was delayed for one week owing to circumstances. Muey plead guilty to the charge of selling liquor on Sunday and paid his fine. There was no remonstrance presented against him and no objection raised to granting another license to him. Look For Soap Quality. , It's no bargain to buy a big chunk of yellow soap for a few cents, if the bulk and weight are made with rosin and grease; that simply smears things but does not clean them. There is a good pure sort called Easy Task; soap which only costs five cents a cake and is the greatest cleanser known. Consult your grocer . The Way He Lost.

RAILROAD CASES TO OCCUPY TIME OF SUPREME COVR (Continued From Page One.)

and its decision is expected to go far toward denning the scope of the commission in obtaining information re garding the business transactions or Interstate carriers. If the court should decide that Mr.4 Harriman can be compelled to reply to such questions as were propounded to him regarding the matters in question, the commission will in the future have little trouble in getting at the essential facts regarding any railroad consolidation or purchase, but If the decision should be in the negative, it is probable that further legislation will be undertaken. Right to Grant Rebates. Among the other railroad cases involving the Interstate commerce law are several touching the right of railroad companies to grant rebates. One of these is the famous proceeding against the New York Central railroad, which was fined $108,000 on the charge of granting rebates to the American Sugar Refining company, and another against the same road to determine the responsibility of a road which Is not the Initiatory carrier for rebates grant ed on shipments made partially over its line. There Is also a rebate case against the Chicago and Alton company, which is expected to determine the question as to what constitutes terminal facilities and the right of a railroad company under the law to grant a rebate to shippers who supply them. Kindred to the railroad cases are a number against express companies, Instituted by the government for the purpose of determining their right under the interstate commerce law to issue franks. The government contended in these cases that the issuance of a frank by an express company waj contrary to the law prohibiting the granting of pases, and the lower courts sustained this contention. The express companies will ask the supreme court to reverse the finding. The docket as it stands now contains a number or suits anecting state ran road laws, among them being the controversies which have arisen between the railroads of Virginia and the cor poration commission of that state relative to the viladity of the two-cent passenger rate which the commission established for that state. There also Is a case from Kentucky, involving the same principle, but it has not yet been put upon the advanced docket. AMERICAN BALLOON FALLS 4,000 FEET (Continued From Page One Conqueror, which was started with some difficulty owing to a gusty wind and too much ballast. But eventually it shot up and reached a high altitude in an incredibly short period, the basket swaying violently. A cry of horor arose from the spectators when they saw the silk collapse and they shouted, "The balloon is ripping up." Thousands Stand as if Petrified. The thousands of people looked up and stood for a moment as if petrified. Then some turned away, fainting as they saw the balloon falling. At the same time showers of sand and appurtenances of the balloon shot downward,! and then daylight was seen through the envelope, great ragged edges of the silk showing on either side. ' "They are killed" went in a hushed whisper through the crowd. Short ly the remainder of the envelope ap peared to take first a triangular shape ana men it was transformed, into a sort of parachute at the top of the net. It came down slower and slower, meanwhile being swept by the wind far to the southeast. aUyJt ,di! appeared from view behind a block of houses. The suspense among the crowd was terrible. But a few minutes later a telephone message was received irom raeaenau wnicn announced that the men had not been seriously injured. A great sigh of relief went up among the people, who threw their hats in the air for joy. Third Race for Bennett Trophy. This is the third international balloon cup race for the James Gordon Bennett trophy. The first was held at Paris in 1906 and was won by Lieut. Frank P. Lahm of the United States cavalry, by a flight of 402 miles. The second started from St. Louis In October, 1907. It was won by the German balloon Pommern piloted by Oscar Erbsloeh. The Bennett trophy is valued at $2,500 and the conditions call for the longest single flight, measured on an airline. The cup must be derended by the winner at an international contest held the following year and it must be won three times ! in succession before passing to a permanent holder.

KILLING FROST COVERS GROUND Thermometer Goes to Twentyeight Degrees. A frost of the kind that kills hovered over trie eartn last nlgnt ana tnis morning the ground was covered as if by a mantel of snow. It was dispelled rapidly by the encroaching rays of the sun and the mercury took an upward course through its tube. Twenty-eight degrees was the mark registered. A thin coating of ice formed over the surface of small pools. A few such frosts will make walnuts "ripe," and then the kids will be in their glory, and the drawing teachers in their agonies over stained hands and soiled books. Except for a short while on Wednesday, the weather man sent his best as a token of his esteem for the fall festival of last week. He can be forgiven his naughty actions of Wednesday as he accomplished no real harm. Every day of the week but Wednesday and Saturday was clear.

SEVERAL CHURCHES STILL OUT OF THE PRESBYTERIAN FOLD (Continued From Page One.)

western part of this state that have ignored the action of the leaders of the old Cumberland church and have refused to abide by the terms of the treaty. What action will be pursued against these "outlaws" by the Presbyterian church of this state is a question ye to be decided. Another important question which will come up for consideration 'and action at the synod meeting is the management of home missions. In nearly every state In the union the Presbyter ian home missions are under the control of the Central Home Mission, the headquarters of which are located in New York. For the past ten years the Indiana synod has controlled its own home missions and has contributed but little to the support of home missions in other states, territories or possessions of this country. The Central Home Mission has appealed to the Indiana synod to be more liberal in its home mission support and to lend assistance in this line of work, especially in some of the western and southern states and in Alaska. Today the home mission committee, the chairman of which is the Rev. W. H. McCaughey, of Terre Haute, is in session for the purpose of deciding on this important question. The first session of the synod will be held this evening. The Rev. Wiggington will deliver a sermon.

One of the most remarkable incidents in connection with the state convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union which was In session at Bedford last week, was the appearance of Miss Martha McCurdy, of this city, on the' rostrum.

Woodward, of Fountain City, corresponding secretary, in her report, touched on the local option law passed by the special session of the legislature, and thought it was a step forward In the right direction, but did not touch the - Brewer and distiller.
