HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Mrs. Helene Stern Required to Give
Bond of $1,000,

Mrs. Helen Stern. the midwife, who was
arrested last week and required to give
bond in the sum of 5000 under a charge
Of having performed a criminal operation
on Mrs. Bessie Feldman. as heretofore pub
lished in The Star, was held for the grand
jury today by a jury Of six men, who as
sembled with Coroner hewitt at the eighth
precinct police station and heard the testi-
mony of a number of witnesses.
Mrs. Stern was rearrested as soon as the
verdict was rendered. and she will probably
renew her bond later in the day. Detectives
Flather and Parkham, who had charge iof
the case, arrested Mrs Stern, and then con-
tinued the investigation Of the case. One
of the officers and Dr. Bennett of the Gar
field Hospital told the jury of the ante
mortem statement of Mrs. Feldman. in
which she accused Mrs. Stern of having
performed the operation charged.
Several witnesses were examined by the
coroner, and Mrs. Stern was heard in her
own behalf. She denied that she had per-
formed the operation. Attorney Albert Sill
ers represented her.

ATTORNEY GENERAL REPLIES,
Interrogated Regarding Prosecution of
Alleged Beef Trust.

At the meeting Of the House judiciary
committee to be held tomorrow action will
no doubt be taken on the Thayer resolu-
ton calling on the Attorney General for
information as to what, If any, steps have
been taken to investigate the operations OF
the alleged beef trust or to institute legal
proceedings against that organization.
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee Saturday, and Chairman Ray i'm
mediately laid the matter before the Attor-
ney General.
This morning he received communica-
ton from that official which Is understood
to give a complete history Of the matter as
far as the Department Of Justice Is con-
cerned. AS this letter has not yet been SUBJ
mitted to the committee Chairman Ray de-
clined to make 1t public. After reading the
letter, however, he said:
There is no question that the Attorney
General of the United States will probe the
matter to the bottom and vigorously prose-
cute any violation OF law provided there Is
any substantial evidence Of violation OBJ
tainable."
Reliable Information is to the effect that
the Department of Justice, in the alleged
beef trust matter, has not gone beyond the
point Of an investigation into the question
Of whether OF not the trust has violated
the federal law. No prosecution has been
ordered and no grand jury has been sum-
moned to determine the question, so far as
the department knows.

BIG STORM AT BERLIN
STREETS INUNDATED AND MANY
HIT BY LIGHTNING.
Street Car Traffic Impeded and Even
Steam Roads Blocked
by It.

BERLIN, April IA violent thunder
storm, accompanied by torrential rain,
broke over Berlin and ITS vicinity early to-
day, causing great damage. Many build
lrgs were struck by lightning. The fire
brigade was summoned to upward of three
hundred places to extinguish fires and cope
with floods.
The water was so deep around the ap-
proaches to the railroad station on Fried
rich strasse that it was impossible to reach
the depot. At the Lehrte station some of
the waiting rooms had to be closed, as the
walls threatened to fall.
A portion Of the enbankment of the
Potsdam railroad, near Schoeneberg, was
swept away, and similar damage to the
Circular railroad necessitated suspension
Of traffic.
The streets were so flooded that the
street cars in several districts were stop
ped. The roads were almost impossible
for pedestrians and, consequently, the
schools were closed. The muaeNm was con-
siderably damaged. The decerative por-
t1ons of many buildings and the statues in
the public squares were seriously damaged
by hail. which, for q time. fell most
heavily.
Trains were unable to leave, the Stettin
station because OF the floods.

Committees Recommendations.


In addition to the report the committee
submitted the following letter:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April u.
Gen Grenville NJ. Dodge, Chairman. Mr.,
Geo P Wetmore, Mr. Elihu Root, Grant
Statue or Memorial Commission, Wash
ington, D. c.:
Gentlemen: The committee thinks 1t de-
sirable, notwithstanding the brilliant char
acter of Mr.. Shrady's composition, to be
assured of his powers to execute a figure of
Grant with the nobility and reserve power
that it should possess. On the other hand,
the qualities of Mr. Niehaus work were of
such high order and were SO close in merit
to those of Mr.. Shrady's that the commi-
tee feels it would be unfair to Mr.. Niehaus
to reject his work without another trial.
Furthermore, In view of the fact that
since the competition for the Grant monu-
ment was instituted the proposition to place
three equestrian statues together at the
head Of the mall, in the center of Union
Square, has been urged in the plan of the
park commission, and also in view of the
possibility of this equestrian figure of
Grant becoming the central feature of this
portion of the plan of the park commission
the committee begs to suggest that, before
finally making the award, Messrs. Shrady
and Niehaus be requested to execute an
other model of about four feet in height for
the equestrian group of General Grant. AS
this enlarged model would involve a very
serious expense to the SculptOrS, the COM
mlttee suggests that an appropriate sum of
money be offered in remuneration to the un-
successful competitor.
Although outside Of the instructions of
your commission to this committee the COM
mfttee begs leave TO suggest that, while the
central site, namely. the White Lot, is well
adapted for the purpose of monument to
Gen. Grant the placing of any kind of a
monument in the White Lot circle is eX-
tremely Objectionable from artistic
standpoint and is an encroachment upon
historic ground
The four corners of the White Lot
square are deemed highly appropriate
places for subordinate military monuments,
but neither one is suited in dignity for a
site for a monument TO Gen. Grant.
Respectfully submitted for the commit
tee.

"Gentlemen: The undersigned committee,
appointed by you to act a committee
to judge and report to your commission as
to the relative merits of the models sub
mitted, has the honor to report:
The committee met in this city on Mon
day, April Z, 1902, and organized by elect
ing Lieutenant General John NJ. Schotield
chairman, and Mr.. Daniel C. French sec
retary, and proceeded al once to the dis
charge of the duty imposed upon the COM
nlittee. After a careful and thorough eX-
animation Of all the designs submitted, your
committee has selected unanimously those
of the following six persons as best adapted
to the respective sites selected by them:
Henry Merwin Shrady.
"One of the two designs submitted by
Charles Henry Niehaus, sculptor, associat-
ed with Mr.. Henry Bacon. architect; name
ly, that with the group and square plat

-. Massey Rhind, with Bright and Bacon,
architects
Charles A. Lopez and F. G. R. Roth.
with Henry Hornbostel, architect.
Waldo Story.
Burr c. Miller
"Of these six the committee finds sub
ject to slight modification of detail, the de-
sign of Mr.. Shrady to be first In intrinsic
merit and best adapted to the site indi-
Gated on the axis of the White House, on
what is known as the White Lot.
The committee finds the design submit
ted by Niehaus and Bacon to be second
in intrinsic merit. 1t is perfectly adapta-
BILE to either of the sites suggested, though
not so desirable for the White Lot site as
the one before mentioned.
