TEE DoDGE-MoRsE CASE.
A Dozen Indictments for Alleged
Subornation of Perjury.

AS briefly stated in The Star yesterday, at
least a dozen indictments in connection
with the Dodge-Morse divorce complica-
lions were handed down in New York yes
terday against former Justice of the Su-
preme Court Edgar L. Fursman, A H.
Hummel and Benjamin F. Steinhardt of
the law firm if Howe & Hummel; Edward
j. Bracken, detective, said to have been
employed by the firm; Charles F. Dodge,
the former husband of Mrs. Morse, and
several other persons, whose names have
not yet been made public. The grand jury
was excused from further duty until next
Tuesday, when, it is said, more indictments
will be found. The indictments against
Hummel and Steinhardt are two each for
subornation of perjury, and one each for
conspiracy. Against Fursman, Dodge and
Bracken are one indictment each for con-
spiracy.
The alleged subornation of perjury con-
sisted in inducing Dodge to make an af-
hdavit that he had never been served with
papers in the divorce case, and also to
swear to the same effect before Referee
Hall. The alleged conspiracy consisted in
an alleged attempt to defeat the ends OF
justice by having a marriage set aside
Illegally.
One of the most sensational features of
the investigation of the case came a few
weeks ago when Mr.. Jerome made public
enen, the widow OF prominent business
man, who had been associated with Morse,
requesting her to appear before the grand
jury to testify. She sailed for Europe a
few days later. On her arrival on the other
side she expressed herself as willing to re-
turn to New York IL necessary, and at the
same time declared that she never had any
intention of marrying Mr.. Morse, as had
been publicly reported. She is still in
Europe.
Mrs. Morse obtained a divorce from
Dodge some years ago and later was mar
ried to Morse. After this marriage Dodge
sought to have the case reopened, and
made affidavit that he had not been prop
erly served with divorce papers. Justice
Fursman appeared as counsel for Mrs.
Morse at that time.
grand jury4that Mrs. Morse never was con-
suited by her attorney, and that her in
terests were not properlys cared for. One
of the attorneys for Dodge in the original
action came forward and produced letter.
which he said he had received from Dodge,
telling of the service of the divorce papers.
The charge of subornation of perjury
grew out of the Dodge affidavit
Justice Fursman sat for years on the
bench of the supreme court in New York
county. and Abraham Hummel is one of
the most widely known lawyers of New
York city. Hummel appeared at one stage
of the legal proceedings as counsel for
Mrs. Morse.

The Brick Makers Outlook.
The prospects for the coming season, as

gradually clearing up. The indications of
what are to be are more apparent, and the
opinion is now held there is to be good

Threatened Starvation in Turkey.

The American board of foreign missions
at Boston, Mass. has made public reports
received from Moush and Van, in eastern
Turkey, relative to prevailing sickness and
restitution.
From Moush, DR.. H. L. Underwood. a
missionary physician. writes in part as fol-
lows:
There are some $500 persons SO desti-
tute of food and clothing that 1t is a prob
lem how they are to survive the winter.
Typhoid is rampant. The barracks are full
of 1t and the dwellings of the citizens also.
The death list this year from typhoid
reaches four figures among the soldiers

DR.. g. c. Reynolds, reporting the situa-
ton at Van, says:
The people here will soon be perishing
from hunger unless assistance is sent them.
There is doubtless grain enough In the
province to keep the whole population alive

Sound Currency for Cuba.

Having reference to the projected issue
of 81, 100000 in notes by the National Bank
of Cuba, the senate at Havana yesterday
favorably discussed proposed amendments
to the commercial code requiring banks
emitting circulating medium to deposit
with the government an amount in United
States gold equivalent to the issue of
notes.
The discussion developed unanimous
desire for some permanent legislation to
provide safe and convenient currency for
Cuba and to prevent the currency being in
fuenced by fiuctuating political or finan-
cial conditions in Spain.

Architectural Competition.

o1SAAICCCuidl SOulp0tlElOu.
The decision of the competition for the
plan of the new Police Court, which was
announced during the week. brings to an
end rather ong-drawn-out contest, which
has engaged the attention of large num-
Der of local architects for some months
past. In this contest, which was the sec
ond, there were no less than fifteen con-
testants, and the entry into the competi-
ton of so many was due not to any I'M
usual inducements-for there was none-but
to the fact that the building business was
rather slack and had been for some time
past
There was nothing In the contest for any
OF the fifteen contestants to hope for, ex-
cept getting the award itself. There was,
however, honorable mention for two who
Were thought to come next to the winner.
But honorable mention hardly pays the
salaries of craftsmen and other expenses
incident to the preparation of the drawings
required, to say nothing of the brains and
experience in making the design and dis
posing OF the space in the building. 1t Is
thought that mere justice requires that
something should be paid to all who &c
into such a contest, and, no doubt that
would have been done in this instance ii
the funds for such a purpose had been
made available. AS 1t was, the District
had the advantage of the skill of a lot OF
trained men without the expenditure of a
cent of money. The result is looked upon

Simmons, which was the one accepted, will
add another to the list of intellectually
meritorious structures in this city.
New Building Proposed.
G. Beale Bloomer. real estate broker, has
recently sold the three houses erected by
him on Quincy street. Bloomingdale for
S4,7O0 each. He will erect six two-story
cellar and attic houses on Seaton street and
Do lph
has also planned to build a four-story
apartment house F street between Goth
and 21st streets 1t will contain eight
suites of five rooms and bath each.
Proposed Large Buildings.
Several enterprises which, if carried out,
will result in the erection here Of large
buildings have not as yet reached the stage
of final action. A plan is being considered,
however, for improving the property owned
by the Warder estate at the southeast cor
ner of 10th and NJ streets by the erection OF
a large apartment house. In one respect
this new structure, as planned. will differ
from many of those now in use as it will
contain suites each having a large num-
Der of rooms. 1t is intended to supply the
needs of those who like the convenience of
apartment life, but find that there is often
not enough space allowed in the separate
suites to meet with the ideas of those who
use commodiouS homes.
The directors of the Metropolitan Cit
liens Bank have not come to any conclu-
sion as yet in regard to the character OF
the building it is proposed to erect for the
use of the bank on the site of the old Met
ropolitan Bank. Some attention has been
given to the arrangement of the first or
main floor, which will be fitted up for the
use OF the institution. The number of up
per f1oors that are to be included and their
uses are still matters that remain to be
decided. =.

1t is likely there will be improvements
and new buildings erected in business To-
calities, So that altogether the prospects
are that there is going to be a good deal
done before the cold weather comes
again. 1t is quite evident when the mar
ket is regarded from another point of
view than merely from that of a brick
maker or builder that there are reasons
for thinking the outlook is a promising
one. 1t is found there is no lack Of money
to invest in Washington real estate
whenever the opportunity is found for
getting a fair return upon the money.
There is no lack of confidence in realty;
in fact, opportunities are eagerly sought for
picking up what are known as bargains.
The sales at auction are closely watched
for chances to get hold of property that
promises an adequate return upon the
money. The demand for income-paying
properties is far in excess of the supply,
which shows, if it shows anything the
good repute in which Washington realty
is held.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-01-28

in sight, that there is going to be a large
consumption of their product. In some
cases the makers feel Independent enough
to do some selecting when prospective Gus
toners present themselves, and they do not
feel that they must reach out and grasp
every atom of business. This In itself shows
q rather easy condition of the market from
the standpoint of the dealer.
There is to be good deal of public build
ing done, as several of the large structures
that are designed for the accommodation of
the various branches Of the government will
be well under way in the course of few
months. Then the consumption of brick at
the rate of several millions for one contract
will be begun, and while that means the
supplying of large quantities of this mate
rial at one place, yet perhaps still more I'M
portant are the smaller contracts which are
made with the general trade. In the ag-
gregate these contracts run up into large
figures, and upon the basis of large IN
crease in this particular is the estimate OF
the brick makers founded that there is to
be a good deal of building during the COM
ing season.
Building in Prospect.
1t is likely, as stated in this column,
there will be many additions made dur
ing the coming months to the number of
apartment houses in this city. These
structures, especially the large ones, have
increased to such an extent that the ap-
pearance of the city from a height has
been considerably modified, as any one
can demonstrate by going to the edge of
the hills that surround the city and sur
vey the scene. 1t is also thought there
will be good many houses put up, and
plans have already been completed for
the erection of quite a number of such
buildings. 1t is believed the market is a
favorable one for the right kind of
houses. The class built to sell from seven
to ten thousand dollars and more are,
Arb, nc 80 ~,

city. There is also a market for houses
that can be sold for less than seven thou
sand dollars, and quite effort is also
