A fire in the Trinity office building. at Broadway

stroyed but fortunately one was injured

the surrounding skyscrapers. for at one time It
looked if all the floors above the ninth vera
ablaze. and dense clouds OF smoke issued from
them. The fire was deceptive. as il confined
to only airshaft of he building.
When the fire broke out on the ninth floor tnee
was a general scramble by the clerks, stenog-

The elevators rapidly carried the frightened pas

LAWYER ACCUSES JUDGE.
2. B. Delehonty Charged uith
Corruption and FdUoritism.

Serious accusations have been made against
Justice Francis B. Delehanty Of the City Court
by Jacob Mannheim, a. lawyer Of No. 302 Broad
way which If proved may result in his dismiss
sal from the bench and If not substantiated
the lawyer from the bar Of the State. So far
Mannheim has made no effort to prove his
charges, and the associates Of Justice Delehanty
on the City Court bench will bring the case to
the attention of the Appellate Division Of the
Supreme Court.
Mannheim, in letter written to Justice Dele
hanty, accused him Of wilful corruption and Ia
voritism in deciding a case against one OF the
lawyers clients The attorney whom Mannheim
declares the justice favored is Max D. Steuer OF
the firm of Steuer & Hoffman. at No 800 Broad
way. The course taken by the accusing lawyer
is said to be unusual, and at a meeting held by
the justices Of the City Court was denounced
as decidedly unprofessional A committee was
appointed at this meeting, Of which Justice sea-
bury was chosen chairman. Mannheim was
served with an order to show cause why his let
ter should not be certified to the Appellate d.
vision of the Supreme Court and have that body
take such action with regard to Mannheim con-
duct as ii deems fit.
The lawyer appeared yesterday in answer to
the summons and said that he would appear be-
fore the higher tribunal The necessary docu-
ments are now being prepared for the Appellate
Division and probably will be submitted next
Monday or Tuesday. Mannheim will then have
an opportunity of proving his charges or suf-
fer the consequences of his action. He has en-
gagged Austen G. Fox as counsel.
Justices of the City Court said yesterday that
Mannheim was guilty of a gross breach of pro-
fessonal conduct in writing to justice a letter
crticising his decision and that If he had any
ground for his charges his recourse was the
prasentnlent of his charges to Governor Higgins
Neither Justice Delehanty Mannheim would
discuss the yesterday.

100000 valuable gold plate and half the Brown
library. This has not been made public. Miss
Lewis was a childhood playmate of Captain
Browns daughter now dead, and has been a
favorite Of the family. For ker Martie Lewis,
other feature not made public. is that Grace NJ.
Brown, widow of Captain Browns son, must
not remarry if she wishes to retain the income
of $50 Coo In brewery bonds. which is her por-
ton. Mrs Brown says she had been better pro-
vided for In will previous to the present one,
which was made less than month ago. a con-
test is not unlikely.

by Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Milwaukee, Dec. 15.-The acquittal Of Charles
r Pfster to-day is regarded as a severe blow
to Governor La Toilette, for the general opin-
ion here was that the larceny charge was an
effort TO bring La Follette's leading opponent
into disrepute. The District Attorney has had.
IL is said constant counsel from the Governors
supporters in his prosecution of the case.
In a statement issued after the acquittal Mr..
Pfster practically charges that the indictment

for the next Army-Navy football game New-York
is favored by West Point, but Annapolis objects on
the ground that it would take at least seven hours

THE large majority of the naval officers are
strongly in favor of Philadelphia for the scene or
