MARION ERWIN ACCUSED.
STATEMENT OF COUNSEL FOR GAYNOR
AND GREENE.
MIR. TAsCHEREAU SAYS THE AMERICAN AT
ToRNEY OFFERED TO DROP PROCEED
INGs ON PAYMENT OF $4,000 TO
THE GOVERNMENT.

Quebec. July 1.-THE case of Gaynor and
Greene came up again in the courts here to-day.
In referring to the reports sent to Attorney
General Knox by Marion Erwin Mr.. Taschereau.
of counsel for Gaynor and Greene, strongly
protested against the remarks made by Mr.. En-
win respecting the judiciary in this province,
and considered it act of effrontery. He re-
gretted that Mr.. Erwin was not present as he
had something interesting TO tell him, but hoped
that counsel for the prosecution would do
He was surprised, he said, that Mr.. Erwin in
his report had not informed the United States
authorities that he had offered to drop the case
If the prisoners would pay S500000 to the
United States Government. This Offer he said
made in the Windsor Hotel. Montreal the
Saturday following the arrest of Gaynor and
Greene.
Messrs. AIcMaster and Dandurand protested
against Mr.. Taschereau's remarks regarding Mr..
Erwin's report, and said the latter had not re-
fected on the judges, but, the contrary, had
expressed his high appreciation of them, and
he did not believe that Mr.. Erwin ever made
such an offer to the accused men.
Over an hour was taken up with these pre-
liminaries and Mr.. McMaster then presented
motion to quash the habeas corpus writs issued
on June 20 and q by Judge Caron. Counsel for
Gaynor and Greene asked for a delay until
Tuesday to reply to these motions, as they were
extremely long. This poStponement was grant
ed. and until next Friday given TO counsel
for the prosecution to answer the replies of
counsel for the defence.
Mr.. Taschereau also moved that Judge Caron
fix day for a hearing on the merits of the case
but the judge remarked that the motions to
quash the writs of habeas corpus had pre-
cedence.

Daniel OReilly yesterday obtained from Justice
Truax. in the Supreme Court writ OF habeas
corpus directing the production in court to-day OF
All Foon. a Chinese girl. now about eleven years
old who is in the Leake and Watts Orphan House.

Mrs. Ho Bo. while Ill about three years ago. gave
the child to Mrs. Helen +. Clark, missionary. to
keep until she recovered. Mrs. Ho Bo signed
paper II is declared. and her recovery asked for
her child but was told she could not get her.
The question of the custody of All Foon came
before Justice Bischoff in 1895 when similar writ
was argued and dismissed. Miss Clark alleged that
the mother of the child had signed papers permit
ting her TO adopt the child, and that the mother
was living in of the worst dens in Chinatown.

TEARING DOWN ARMORY WALLS.
SUPERINTENDENT STEWART AND ARMoRY
BOARD MAY CLASH OVER list RUINS.

1t is feared that friction between the Armorv
Board and the Building Department may result
from the action Of Perez NJ. Stewart. Superin-
tendent of Buildings, in taking possession yes
terday Of the ruins of the list Regiment Ar
mory. at Thirty fourth-st. and Park-ave-. with
100 men. In the opinion of Superintendent
stewart, the action was rendered necessary by
the unsafe condition OF the walls still standing
in Park-ave
On March Is the Armory Board took charge
of the ruins, the Buildings Department having
had nen there after the fire until that date.
Then the New-York Wrecking Company began
the work OF rendering the ruins safe, acting
under contract with the Armory Board. The
great heaps OF debris that encumbered the
basement and first floors were removed. it is
said. and piled UP inside against the outer
walls In addition, parts OF the walls that were
torn down were thrown against the foundation
of the Park-ave. side until. in the opinion OF
inspectors for the Buildings Department. the
whole Park-ave- wall was unsafe and en-
dangering the lives of all who passed through
the tunnel. These walls still stand to height
of fifty or sixty feet, and in places the piles OF
brick and stone against them reach TO within
thirty feet OF the top
Inspector MCGEE on June 26 made a report TO
the Buildings Department that the walls were
unsafe and being rendered more so. and the
Armory Board was informed Since then great
cracks have appeared, especially in the tower
at Thirty -fourth-St. and Park-ave., where the
power of resistance is least against strain
from within. The work under the New-York
Wrecking Company continued until ten days
ago.
Yesterday Superintendent Stewart, accom-
panied by Inspector MCGEE, called Mayor
Low with the reports and papers in the case.
and was instructed by the Mayor to go ahead
and do whatever in his opinion ought TO be
done Superintendent Stewart at once called on
Canavan Brothers, wrecking contractors, and
within hour a hundred men were at work
in the ruins. This haste thought neces-
sary because the continuous blasting in the
tunnel under the Park-ave. walls is causing the
cracks in them TO open at an alarming rate.
There were representatives of the Armory
Board the ground. The work will be con-
tinued night and day till every wall is safely
lowered beyond the danger point entirely re-
moved. The force of workmen will be increased
in the next few days 1t is expected that within
two weeks the work will be finished.

CHARGE AGAINST GEN. METCALF.
Said 20 Have shot n Filipino While
Latter Begged for Mercy.


The Senate Committee on Pensions is
still considering the nomination of W.
s. Metcalf TO be pension agent at Topeka.
Kan. Colonel MetcaIf succeeded General
Funston in command Of the Twentieth
Kansas Volunteers. His appointment is
credited to Senator Burton and ever since
his nomination vigorous efforts have been
made to defeat confirmation. These ef-
forts are principally confined to Kansas
Republicans who are disgrunJled because
some one else was not selected.
The most serious charge against Cen
eraI Metcalf was that alluded TO by Sen
ator Hoar. Colonel Metcalf is accused Of
having shot a Filipino prisoner while the
latter was on his knees begging for
mercy.
Colonel MetCalf denies the charge most
cmphaticaIIy. "Au have 10 say on the
subject" he said to Times reporter to-
day. lis that if guilty Of such an atroclty
! am unfit 10 hold any ONCE under the
Government Of the United States. The
charge is absolutely without a basis OF
foundation"
General Metcalf called at the White
House i'm company with d. W. MuIvane
Republican National committeeman from
Kansas.
Dir. Muivane said that he expected
Colonel MetcaIrs nomination would be
confirmed. inasmuch as Colonel MetcaIf
had secured an andayIt disprovlug the
charge against him.
