KewTork, May 17.-Father Edward Stan
Ulans PhilUpa, pastor of Stl Gabriel's Ro
man'; Catholic Church of Hazleton, Pa., the
famous champion of organized labor, whose
timely Intercession with J. Pierpont Morgan
lstMrch averted a-rthrcatened strike of
lK,0'.men in the coal region, was found
-ea fa.thla city late Thursday ntght. In the
apartments of a stranger.
Circumstances lead the pblice to believe
that Father Phillips was" the victim. of foul
play. Whether or not' chemical analysH
way sustain this theory. It is cc'rtp!- that
"Father. Phillips came to his de:tth jifter a
period. ot,many days and nights passed in'
dissipation, under an. assumed name.
His ostensible errand to New Tork City
was to purchase statues for hls.shurch, in
.Hazleton. Having- performed this task, the
jSddence is Indisputable that Father Phillips
tided to drirtk. although he was a cham-
pion.of-temperar.ee.

had been stricken In New York, and he be
gan a search among the hospitals ot this
clt:-.
Thoroughly alarmed, the two relatives
consulted the police, and confidential In
structions were sent out through the city,
ordering- a general search for Father Phil
lips and giving his detailed description.
HIS BODY DISCOVERED
A WEEK AFTER DEATH.
Doctor Dougherty admitted that Father
Phillips, one one occasion a few years ago.
had absented himself from his charge nnd
had Indulged In a similar period ot relaxa
tion. Tho nephew's fears, however, were
that his undo hud collapsed from nervous
strain and overwork In connection with his
efforts to settle the recent labor difficulties.
This, then, was tho situation tip to last
Thursday night, when, by a mere accident,
the priest's dead body was discovered In the
storeroom ot a tenement at the rear of No.
630 Ninth avenue.
Mrs. Catherine Bernls occupies the house
at that address, and,- with the exception of
the ground floor, which she occupies her
self, the other apartments are rented out as
ifurnlshed rooms. .
About 11 o'clock -Thursday night Mrs.
Bernls noticed a whtto quilt fluttering from
one of tho windows from the rear tene
ment, nnd sent her daughter to the rooms
to remove It. remarking that it looked like
rain.
The young woman took a candle, passed
through the front room on the second floor
of the rear tenement, and. In the little
storeroom opening from It, the body of the
dead priest was found. She gave the alarm,
and her mother called In Policeman Wil
liams of the West Forty-sovcnth Street
Police Station, who went into the place and
found every evidence that the man had been
dead not less than a week.
The priest was dressed In a dark sack
suit, over which was a thin overcoat.
WHERE DOCTOR STANLEY'
ENTERS' INTO THE MYSTERY'.
Close by the- priest's head was a pool of
blood. A pair of shoes, which boro the
stamp of a Scranton denier, were close be
side the body and a black necktie and a
silk handkerchief, bearing the embroidered
initial "P" lay near by.
Captain Donohue and Coroner Bausch,
after a careful examination, subsequently
permitted the removal ot the body to an
undertaking establishment.
Mrs. Bernlus, who was closely ques
tioned, said that four weeks ago last
Thursday, a distinguished looking man,
who" announced himself ns Doctor Klrko
Stanley, had called with a woman, whom
he Introduced as his wife, to look at the
rooms she had to rent.
Doctor Stanley engaged the rooms. His
companion appeared to be nn American,
about 28 years old, Mrs. Brenlus describing
her as a buxom woman of full figure, with
auburn hair and a fair skin.
Mrs. Bernlus said' Doctor Stanley repre
sented to her that he had an ofllce In Belle
vue Hospital, and that he had patented a
new hot-air process for the treatment of
rheumatism. He asserted that this device
would soon bring him a large fortune,
though at the present tlmo he was some
what hard pressed for funds.
Mrs. Bernlus suffered from rheumatism,
and she permitted Doctor Stanley to subject
her to the baking process on Wednesday
and. Thursday, May 8 and 9. On both these
occasions she was then treated In Doctor
Stanley' apartments.
PECULIAR INCIDENTS THE
POLICE WILL INVESTIGATE.
On the next day Friday, May 10, accord
ing1 to the police theory the dead body of
Father Phillips lay In the Stanley apart
ments. For that reason they attach con
siderable Importance to an interview which
occurred between Mrs. Bernlus and Mrs.
Stanley.
The doctor's wife on Friday morning told
Mrs. Bernlus she need not bother to come
to their apartments, as the doctor would
move1 the apparatus p'er to Mrs,-Bernlus' s
VWr.m. Mrs.- Bernlus then offered to
send.. her x son to carrr over thn oven hut
Mrs. Stanley would not permit this,- say
ing:
1 "Oh, no; the doctor Is very strong and
he will bring It over himself. He would
mot let the boy touch' It under any-circum
stances!
Mrs. Bernlus was. treated Friday and
Baturday, therefore. In her own rooms. She
added that the- doctor was to 'have con
tinued this treatment, but he appeared to
be very busy after that, and did not call
again. ' '
The'.-last time .Mrs. Stanley was seen
about the house was a weckrjjgbr.Friday,
when Mrs. Higglns, the Jaintress, who ic
cuplcs the rooms directly under the Stan
ley .apartment, noticed her. 'She came in1
on the afternoon of that day And asked if
Mrs, Hlggins had seen her husband, as
sbe had not seen him, sho .said, for tvo
nights. '
The Janitress offered to' get her the .keys
to her husband's apartments and let her
go up and wait there for him, but' Mrs.
Hlggins says Mrs. Stanley replied:
"Oh. no; I could not go up there alone.
I. should faint."
The-woman then went away and has 'not
been seen since.
STANLEY UNDER INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS WHEN ARRESTED.
Furnished with Mrs. Bernlus's description
ef Stanley. .Policeman. Redmond was sta
tioned in' front of the Ninth avenue house,
and a few minutes before 2 o'clock noticed
his man approaching. Stanley expressed
much surprise when put under- arrest, but

SALOONKEEPERS
CITED FOR TRIAL.
Those Who Disregarded the Early
Closing Order Must Explain
to Mr. Seibert.
Excise Commissioner Seibert yesterday
designated Wednesday and Thursday, May
22 and 3, for inquiries into the cases of
saloonkeepers' charged with '.'violating his
orders requiring that every dramshop be
closed between the hours of 1 a. m. .and 5
a. m. Citations were Issued yesterday
afternoon directing the respondents to ap
pear on those dates and- show cause why
their licenses should not be revoked.
The summonses were sent to dealers
whom the police reported as having disre
garded the Commissioner's notice to close
their establishments In the early morning
hours. Those -dealers who kept open doors
Tuesday night, under the impression that
the mandate would not become operative
until Wednesday night will not receive ci
tations. These keepers are: Daly Bros.,
No. 1625 Franklin avenue: Ryan A McGil
llcuddy. No. 601 Franklin avenue: Leonard
Meier. No, 1219 O'Fallon street: James H.
Cronln. Twelfth and Walnut streets: George
Hoefner, No. 1200 Clark avenue, and Frank
Nagel.
"I propose to enforce this rule," Mr. Sei
bert said yesterday. "While no statute
exists obliging saloons to close between 1
a. m. and 5 a. m., nevertheless the statutes
confer on the Excise Commissioner
discretion to define disorderly places and
to establish regulations either prescribing
conditions for conducting them or for re
voking the licenses. 'In my notices I
stated expressly that I would consider any
saloon disorderly that might be.found open
between 1 a. m. and 5 a. m. Criminal re
ports will support me In my opinion that
these places' are disorderly. Police records
will sustain me and furnish ample proof
that the all-night establishments are breed
ers of crime.
"I am vested by statute with authority
to guard against disorderly places, and In
taking this action, which I intend ,to .en
force. I am merely exercising my statu
tory power: Furthermore, I believe .that
I shall have the assistance and moral en
couragement of all the respectable dealers
4n th. rltv. Licenses will expire by July. 2,
and those persons who refrain from obey--
inp tne law may expeci i ""
culty In procuring renewals."

The remains will be Interred in Rose Hill

be held at her former residence In this city
on Sunday morning. In which event the

for Chicago.
Mrs. Gage was nn Episcopalian In her re

here, she and tho Secretary havo had a

Doctor mills ot Plymouth Church, Brook
