THE HoLL1sTER MURDER.
Chicago Police Trying to Secure Names
of Accomplices.

CHICAGO, January 15-Richard G..
Ivens. self-confessed murderer of Mrs.
Franklin C. HOLSTER, was today subjected
to a severe examination by the police in
the effort to obtain from him the names of
his accomplices it being thought possible
that Mrs. HOLSTER was kept a prisoner
part of the day. 1vens declared that he
had no accomplces. and that he alone
committed the crime
During the examination the aged father
of Ivens sat iii the room with tears stream
ing down his face, hoping that mitigation
of his sons offense might be found in the
time the woman was killed. When the ex-
animation was concluded the old man
asked his son: Did you really do this
alone?"
Yes. 1 did 1t alone" replied the son.
1t Is intended to push the case against
Ivens with as much rapidity as possible
and it was said by the police this after
noon that an indictment was expected
against Ivens before night.
Two more murders were added last night
to the long list of crimes that has taken
place in this city of late. The first victom
was Anton Spychalski, who was attacked
by two robbers at the corner of Washing

caused death in two hours.
The second crime was committed at the
intersection Of May and Randolph streets,
where Joseph Kane was attacked by
bandits, who beat him so terribly about
the head that his death ensued within a
short time.

GRANT MONUMENT SITE
NOT TO BE AT NEW UNION STA
TON BUILDING.

The proposed heroic statue of General
Ulysses 8. Grant probably will not be To-
Gated on the union station plaza.
This much is indicated by the action OF
the District Commissioners today, who in
formed Col. Cromwell, for the benefit of
the Grant monument commission that they
are not In favor of locating the Grant mon
ument opposite the great railway terminal.
Their report is based on statement by
d. H Burnham & Co., architects of the
union station. the gist of which is:
That the proposed monument is rectangu-
lar in shape and is about 10 feet wide ana
26O feet long. 1t consists of three principal
motives. the central figure of Grant and
two thanking groups OF artillery and cav
airy. each of the two groups being about
100 feet distant from the central figure.
The station plaza is semi-circular in shape
and its contour is determined within mar
row limits by the angles Of existing streets
The plan OF the plaza contains three CEN
tiers, or focal points, each Of which is on
the center line Of two streets entering the
plaza, and the original scheme of treatment
OF the plaza called for three fountains
whose location at the three focal points
would place glistening dome Of water i'm
!. vista OF all principal streets approach
ing the station, constituting an effect of
exceeding beauty
The three focal points, which are part Of
the street system, cannot be changed, are
not in a straight line. the center one
being farther out from the station than the
other two.
ITO locate the Grant monument in the
center of the plaza without modifying
either the monument or the plaza, will
give composite Of six elements, result
Ing in a confusion of effect
ITO place the artillery and cavalry groups
at the two laternal focal points. suppress
ing tn etwo fountains, would still leave a
fountain in front of the figure of Grant
unless this fountain were also suppressed.
Furthermore, Mr.. Casey. architect of the
monument, Is opposed to moving the
laternal groups far enough from the central
figure to place these groups at the focal
points.
at would, therefore, seem that the two
compositions, monument and plaza are not
mutually adaptable. The monument would
suffer in scale by being placed so close
to the large building. And the monument,
being four feet high and two hundred and
sixty feet long, would offer a serious OBJ
stacle to the movement of large numbers
OF people in and out of the station from
the plaza, which has always been re-
garded as very important matter"

THE STEAMSHIP CHEROKEE.
Clyde Liner Still Hard Aground OF
Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., January 15.-The
Clyde Line steamship Cherokee from Santo
Domingo for New York. which grounded
near the South Brigantine life saving sta
ton on Friday, is still hard aground. A
dense fog hangs over the stranded vessel
today and no word has been received from
it since last evening, Capt. Archibald, two
mates and the ships carpenter are still
aboard the Cherokee. the passengers and
crew having been removed yesterday.
The Cherokee now lies in about ten feet
OF water. and the position of the steamer is
worse than at any time since it stranded.
During Saturday night and Sunday the
vessel drifted several hundred yards down
by the severe northeast storm. The tug
Sommers N Smith and the lighter Lottie
are lying off, being unable to reach the
Cherokee because of the shallow water.
The wrecking tug North America Is also
lying a considerable distance from the
stranded vessel.
The sea today Is comparatively smooth,
and it would be an easy matter to remove
steamer. The hold of the Cherokee is full
of water and there is apparently little hope
of saving the vessel.
A power lifeboat came down from Sandy
Hook during the night and ran alongside
the stranded steamer The boat returned
to Sandy Hook today after the captain
learned that his services would not be re-
-quired.

recovered sufficiently today to proceed to
his home
I'VE never had any idea that we would
get off alive" said Mr.. Train, land when
the storm reached its height and the waves
were running as high as the smokestacks
some of the passengers prayed, In the De
lief that we were surely lost. Mrs. Palmer,
the stewardess, was the bravest on board,
and I ann surprised to see that she says she
was frightened. But for her spirit during
the crisis some of the passengers would
have collapsed entirely"
The forty men of the crew left today for
New York. Joseph Schwartz of New York
is the only passenger still here Mr..
Schwartz is waiting for the sea to become
calm, SO that he can visit the steamer and
procure some valuable papers which were
left behind yesterday.
Capt Smith OF the South Brigantine life
saving station, came ashore from the Chero-
kee at 1 o'clock for the first time since
Friday night. He says it is the belief of
the wreckfng crews that the steamer will
be total loss. The yacht Sinbad, which
went out to the stranded vessel today, re-
turned shortly after noon with baggage
which had been left on board yesterday by
the rescued passengers.

UNION WANTS IT'S MONEY.
Treasurer Heisley Of Carpenters Broth

erhood Defendant in Lawsuit.
William G. Phillips. Joseph K. Potter.
and John F. p. Magee, trustees of Local
Union No. 1872, United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners Of America, this
afternoon filed suit in equity in the SUI
preme Court of the District Of Columbia
against Jacob M. Heisley. asking an In
junction, discovery and accounting.
It is explained that October q last Local
Union No 100 consolidated with several
other local unions of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, and
formed Local Union No 1872 which there
upon became the successor OF Local Union,
No. 190 and the others with which 1t con-
solidated. Mr. Heisley, 1t Is added, was
the treasurer Of Local Union No. LOO. The
complainants inform the court that as such
treasurer Mr.. Heisley had in his possession
81 OF belonging to Local Union 1870.
1t is claimed that Local Union 1872 is
entitled to the money and property of
Local Union 100. But it is charged, Mr..
Heisley declines to turn over the money
alleged to be in his possession, for the
reason that something less than $500 of
the amount mentioned is due him for sal
airy and disbursements.
The court is asked to enjoin the defend
ant from disposing of the money; to COM
pei him to disclose what money of the
union he has in his keeping. and to render
AN accounting, and to decree that the
money and effects that belonged to Local
Union 100 are now the property of Local
Union 132. Attorney c. A. Keigwin repre-
sentS the compliments.
