NOW SAID TO BE A BANKRUPT.
Money Raised on Bonds Said to
Have Been Used to Keep the
Boss Out of Prison.

Lawyer George F. Elliott and the Citi-
zens Committee OF Gravesend, who have
been investigating the accounts Of John
Y. McKane. have discovered that the
Chief failed to account on Jan. last re-

tutions. and that there is an apparent
shortage in McKane's accounts of $20U.-

BROAOWAY'SCAVE-IN
Apparently No Bottom at the
Corner of Tenth Street.
Big Subterranean Cavern Caused
by Defective Sewer.
Gable Road Conduit Barely Escaped
Being Wrecked.

The bottom fell out OF Broadway at
the northeast corner OF Tenth street this
morning, leaving big hole. 10 by 20 feet
and about 10 feet deep. The hole Is
cross-sectloned by a network OF gas and
water pipes. and extends far out under
Broadway Thirty cart loads Of dirt
would be required to fill the cavity.
The cave-!n occurred at an early hour
this morning. and fortunately when
there was but little traffic at this point.
1t was caused by%a defective sewer.
The mani sewer caved in, and the
waters rushing through 1t, gradually
sucked away the sand and deposited 1t
no one knows where.
Then the pipe which ran from the
curb to the main broke. and last night 5
rain. falling into the cavity. completed
the job.
The pavement over Broadway and on
Tenth street is Of the new kind, laid
over a body OF cement. Tar is poured
In the interstices between the granoite
blocks. making a surface exceedingly
firm and compact.
The gradual sucking away of the sand
has been going on for some time. and II
Is little short of a miracle that the thin

have held the heavy trucks that daily
pass over that spot.
The cave-iE was first noticed yester
day afternoon. single granite block
suddenly dropped out of sight and a
curious pedestrian who looked to see
where II had gone hastily retreated when
he saw the ydwning space beneath him.
A policeman was warned, and he In
turn notified some workmen on the west
side of broadway, In Tenth street. They,
however. paid no attention to II.
The next policeman who came on that
post nearly walked into the cavity and
thus II was discovered.
The side OF The sewer main Is COM
pletely gone and the water main Is Leak

To bend. The pipes connecting the fire

Ii is n mystery where the sand has
gone to. Ii is believed that II will

cause serious disturbance.

Unearthed by Young Hoffman,
with Probably Fatal Results.
Dug Up with Others in the Williams
burg Sand Lots.
Boy Like, He Banged 1t Against q
Huge Boulder.

Nicholas Hoffman, thirteen years old,
of 1881 Troutman street. Williamsburg,
is lowering between life and death at his
home to-day because he and number of
other small boys played with dynamite
bombs which they found buried in the
sand lots of the Twentieth Precinct.
Two other boys who were with Hoff-
man were hurt, and had 1t not been for
a fortunate circumstance all of them
would undoubtedly have been killed.
Police Captain Kitzer has number
Of meu 1T work on the case and they
are Of the opinion that the unfortunate
boys found bombs which had been
buried bv Anarchists.
The sand lots" are on Knick erbocker
avenue, and in the neighborhood flourish
a nun Der of Anar:hi societies. About
three months ago half dozen bombs
were found in the lots. but although
case for days, they could not learn who
had buried them. At that time the
lots were thoroughly searched, and 1t
was said that there were no more bombs
there.
The sand lot Is used as, u playground
by the boys of the neighborhood, and
this morning about o'clock Young Hotf-
oSery t~eve by and erss eevsn
old, respectively, who live at 26S Trout
man street. went over to the lots to
play.
While running about they turned up
the sand near a big boulder which stands
near the centre of the ,ot, and un-
earthed an oblong box of tin. The
youngsters speculated as to what their
Oldest of the trio, took the box from
the others md opened It.
Inside Were half dozen bombs, al
though the boys had no idea at the time
what they were. The Hoffman boy
took one of the bombs out of the box
and cried
I'm going to bang it against that big
AS he spoke. the other boys turned and
ran. They had hardly gone 100 feet
when Hoffman threw the bomb at the
boulder. which was about thirty feet
away.
The Oberly boys say they thought the
explosion and shock that followed was
an earthquake. They were thrown head
long. although the soft sand broke their
fall, and they escaped without any in
jury further than shock.
When they picked themselves up, they
saw Hoffman lying on the ground sense
less. All the skin had peeled off his
face and hands, and, he was also
wounded about the legs and body.
The screams Of the boys attracted a
crowd. and n big brewer carried the in
jured boy to his home. Young Hoffman
that the shock and the injuries he re-
ceived will probably prove fatal.
There Is a great deal of excitement
in the neighborhood, and some of the
more eXcitable residents are threatening
to lynch the first Anarchist they see.
