INQUIRY INTO cHURcH CRASH.
Construction or the Brooklyn Building Is
CrIticIsed by INperts.

A preliminary inquiry into the cause OF
the disaster at the Fleet Street African
Methodist Episcopal Church in Brooklyn
on Monday night, in which ten were killed
and thirty or forty injured by the cave-in
of the floor of the structure, was begun
yesterday morning by Borough President
Littleton, Building Superintendent Collins
and Coroner Flaherty II did not result
in fixing the blame upon any one,
The construction OF the old building
was the subject of much criticism on the
part of the building and lumber experts.
but the inspectors of the Building Depart
ment. it was the general opinion Of the
officials, could not be blamed for not know
ing how the beams had been mortised and
what kind of lumber had been used. The
main girder it was found was Of 6Xi2 inch
white pine, capable of bearing all the weight
that could reasonably be expected to be
placed upon it. From this girder. how
ever, is foot hemlock floor beams. AXIS
inches In size and mortised into the girder
with a hold Of only four inches, ran 10 the
side walls. These beams, Il Is believed,
broke of at the centre girder dropping the
mass Of people. benches and broken flooring
upon the centre of the span of the longltu-
dinal girder and causing 1t TO give way
Il do not believe. said Borough Presi-
dent Litteton last night, that the inspectors
of the Building Department nor any one else
was at fault except for allowing the church
TO be overcrowded. Since the Iroquols
Theatre fire in Chicago we have been more
than careful In our inspection OF these old
church buildings, as well as the theatres
and there is no reason TO believe that this
edifce was not properly inspected.
Coroner Flaherty declared that hls In
vestigation would be most thorough and
would occupy not less than week He
said that he would wait until the injured
have fully recovered before holding the
inquest.
Il am satisfied that the Police and Fire
department rules regarding overcrowdlng
and blocking the aisles were violated.
doing all that he could to get the people
out and had sent for the police TO clear
the aisles when the disaster took place.
Many members Of the congregation we're
sure yesterday that the accident was caused
by the sins Of some who had permitted
and taken part in cantata called the
Beautiful City The superstitious de-
olared that IL was -the wrath of God de-
scending upon the wicked" They insisted
that the cantata had turned the house of
God into a playhouse. and that the calamity
had been propheSied by a score Of the older
members OF the church.
The Rev +. NJ. Jacobs. pastor of tho
church, and a number of his trustees were
at the Office OF Borough President Littleton
early yesterday morning and told all that
they knew about the accident. The wrecked
building will be abandoned for the present.
and as soon az plans can be prepared new
structure will be erected.

MORE DODGE INDICTMENTS,
SAYS JEROME, OPPOSING GRAND
jury ROOM DISCLOSURE.
Eminent Counsel for Messrs. FurSnan,
Hummel and SteInhardt support APP
piication O Inspect the Minutes-Court
TO Take Its Time Deciding the Matter.

That the District Attorneys office IL not
through with its investigation OF theDodge-
Morse marriage and divorce tangle was
made plain by District Attorney Jerome
yesterday when in opposing motion OF
Edgar L. Fusman, Abraham Hummel and
Benjamin Steinhardt for leave to inspect the
minutes of the Grand jury that indicted
them, Mr.. Jerome announced that other
indictments-one or more-would probably
BE- returned.
Messrs. Hummel and Steinhardt were
Jointly indicted for subornation of perjury
and conspiracy, and Justice Fursman for
conspiracy. Mr.. Jerome protested that it
would be against public policy to permit the
inspection OF the Grand Jury minutes when
other indictments were expected. He
asked Justice Kenetck in the Supreme
Court. Criminal Branch, who heard the ar
gument, TO read over the minutes himself
and then. if he felt that public interests
would not he jeo parded, grant the appli-
cation for leave to inspect them.
Lined w against MIR. jerome were D-Cady
Herrick. Delaney Nicoll, John d. Lindsay,
and several other lawyers represen ting
the three defendants. MIR. jerome had
with him Mr. Rand and Mr.. Caravan.
Judge Herrick argued for Mr.. Fursman,
that he had an inherent and constitutional
right to know what had gone on before
the Grand Jury. Mr.. Nicoll read over
long affidavit from Mr.. Hummel about the
number Of times he had been before the
Grand Jury Mr. Ncoll said that Mr.,
Hummel had been threatened and roughly
treated by the District Attorney because
he had refused to answer certain questions.
