 Manslaughter-. Officials Also Held

 returned series of indictments to-day
 against the contractors and workmen
 alleged to have been responsible for the
 fatal and destructive explosion on Park avenue on January 21, and the city off,
 cials charged with dereliction in the storing of explosives. An indictment

Shaler was indicated also for illegal storage of dynamite, a msde- meanor Moses Epps the powder house watchman, Ernest G. Matheson. chief engineer and Joseph Bracken, laborer were indicted for manslaughter in the first degree and Matheson and Bracken for illegal storage. Superintendent George Murray and Inspector Smith of the bureau of combustibles, were in- dicted on a charge of criminal negli- gence, and Charles E. Frazer, engineer, for illegal storage. Bail was fixed in each case at S5,00j except tor Murray and Smith, whose bail was made $1 900 each.
 At a meeting of the Rapid Transit commission to-day Engineer William Barclay Parsons submitted a report, calling attention to the fact that about sixty tons of dynamite is used each month in the city of New York and de- claring that the laws governing it's stor- age are old and tend to keep down the quantity and limit the effect after ex- plosions rather than preclude the pos of explosions. The board au thorized the mayor to appoint a com mittee of five persons to investigate the l and formulate a revision of the | laws referreing to explosives.

The trouble came when a city delegate voic- ed the hopelessness of his colleagues at the attainment of what he was pleased to characterize decent justice, and this hopelessness of satisfactory results was sounded in a vigorous resolution which

Until Next Tuesday.

Hartford, Feb Without coming to decision regarding the numerical strength of the senate, the constitu- tional convention adjourned to-day un- til next Tuesday after the liveliest ses- sion that the body has yet held. A storm broke over the heads of the dele gates at the outset, and the atmosphere remained at high tension all through the debate. It was not until few min utes before adjournment that an ex- change of apologies on the part of some of the more earnest disputants for re- marks uttered hastily in the heat of argument served to relieve the situa- ton.
 Aside from the proceedings in the convention proper, where the most ex- citing episode of the day occurred, the debate in committee of the whole was entirely on the question of senate rep resentation. Various propositions fix ing the number of senators at from thirty-four to eighty-four were offered, but none were agreed upon, and the committee arose without taking any tOle except lO IcJeCI d lllotiOll by phl' Loomis of Glastonbury for a senate of not less than sixty nor more than sev- enty-two. This resolution was defeated before the general debate began. Later an announcement by MT. Warner of Salisbury, who is looked upon as lead CT of the small town delegates, was re- ceived with great interest. He said he believed the senate should have not less than sixty nor more than seventy-tWo, but did not believe in fixing a maxi mum, but only minimum.
 The convention was called to order at il o'clock and prayer was offered by Delegate Smith of Plymouth, who al luded to the illness of President Roose- VeIts son
