REBUKES GRAND JURIES
Judge Foster. Says They ConnaUe to
Wreck Regulations.

In disnssing the indictments for conspiracy and
neglect of duty against ex-Fire Commissioner John
J.. Scannell and William Marks. who were accused
proting illegally through certain contracts for
Fire Department supplies. Judge Foster yesterday.
in General Sessions. declared that the grand jury
empowered to blast regulations. wreck lives
and to connve at the downfall of public men. He
added:
hope was can awaken the grand jures to an un-
derstanding of the fact that they have serious
public duty 10 perform; that they empowered
to blast regulations; that they are empowered to
wreck and ruin lives; that Their careleSsness and
conniving sometimes with other public officials, in
wrecking and duining. Is vastly harmful and is
doing more bring into disrepute the adm'nistra-
tion of justice than any cause.
Owing to the absence of certain important wit
nesses the District Attorneys office unable to
try the two Mr.. Miner. representing the Dis
trict Attorneys office, did not oppose the motion to
dismiss Both men were discharged on their own
recognzance several weeks ago.
In dismissing the indictment Judge Foster said:
I have become almost a crusader in my efforts to
have the grand jury more careful in the consider
alton of charges before II. to the end that these
groundless and il-founded indictments should not
be brought, and this is very forcible fustra-
ton, my mind, of the soundness of the position
take.

as follows:
The league, while satisfied with the bill as origi-

the bill for three months and until adjournment
The Assembly discharged its Excise Committee

Senate and advanced 10 general orders. where
Il could only be reached for final vote by an order
from the Rules Committee.
Senator Ranes. chairman of the Rules Com
rnittee refused rule which allowed vote upon
the bill notwithstanding the fact that Senator

alarmed and the teachers with difficulty pre-
vented a panic.
Captain McGlynn, of the West 125th street
station with the reserves, rushed 10 the scene
10 determine the extent Of the damage done
So far as could be learned no one was in
jured. II was found that the cause Of the
shock was not so much the fact that the pack
ing about the blast hole was carelessly done as
that the charge was double the usual size. The
hole was drilled and charged last week. ac-
cording to the police. Apparently the contractor
had forgotten all about the fact that there was
a charge already in the hole and inserted sec
ond one. The result was that both were dis
charged.
