But Contractor Tells Ahearn InUesti-
gators He Has No Record.

Herman Harwitz. calling himself electrical
contractor, gave some weird testimony yester-
day concerning his business methods at the in
vestigation of Borough President Ahearn's office
by the Commissioners of Accounts Harwitz
received orders for thousands OF dollars worth
of work from William H. Walker Superintend-
ent Of Public Buildings and Offices. He said
that he had known Borough President Ahearn

of the Ahearn district organiza ton
He first met Mr. Ahearn on East Broadway.
he said, and at that time Mr.. Ahearn asked him
if he in the electrical business Soon after
this he began to receive orders from the city.
He said that in the case of manteIs the charge
was the whether or not they were put up.
Mr.. Harwitz admitted that the price of man
tells on the mar! ct varied from four cents to
forty cents each. He usually charged forty
cents to the city for all mantels
do you charge the city forty cents for a man
tel that only costs you four cents?" asked Mr..
Mitchell
MY price is forty cents" answered the wit
ness.
No matter what it costs you?"
"My price is forty cents
so you usually charge times what the
mantes cost you to the city,"
Il don't keep a record"
Then you might charge the city as little as
six times what an article costs you?'
II don't keep a record"
The witness could not tell whether any OF his
bills made out in William II. Walkers
office. He said his wife and his brother made
out all his bills. He only regarded the totals Of
his bills and not the details. He could not re-
member what price he paid for mantels where
he bought them, but he did know that he al
ways charged the city 40 cents for all mantels,
whether they were his he bought.
Harwitz said he knew Charles Jacobs. in
spector in the EinaneS Department whom VI.
met first at tho Jefferson Club. In Tth street.
did Jacobs check up your bills?"
IT do not know" said Harwitz.
How does your wife know how to make out
a bill calling for a certain mantel?"
We'll. the order calls for it
"Oh. that is the way she knows"
Certainly"
Harwitz declined TO tell who made his mantles
on the ground that IL his private busi-
ness. He said he had made an assignment OF
orders from the city TO the General Gas Light
Company
was 1t for goods bought?" he asked.
II don't remember" was the reply.
Here Commissioner Mitchell read from various
bills drawn by the witness the prices which he
charged the city. He tried to get Harwtz to tell
his profit on the articles The witness however.
said he could not remember the prices he paid
for the articles.
Although he had previously testified that he
always charged 40 cents 10 the city for man
ties Commissioner Mitchell showed him a bill OF
his of 1904 in which the price was 30 cents.
Asked to account for the change OF price. Har-

Natural Gas Exploded in Nov

Greenfield, Indiana.
THE BUILDING WRECKED.

TAKE FIRE, DRESSES WERE
BURNED FROM MANY WOMEN

Greenfield. Ind. March 26-Twenty-
an explosion of natural gas under
two-story brick building in which
moving picture exhibition was being
given The ground floor room was
fitted a few weeks ago for a bijou the
alter by Frank Dowell, of Hartford
City, and at once became a popular
resort, particularly for women and
children. The second floor was occu-
pied by Mrs Daisy Tapscott's m;llin-
cry parlors The bijou room was long
and narrow, with a lobby in front.
A change of bill had attracted more
than the usual crowds, and all were
in the room that could get an entrance
when the explosion occurred. There
was a kissing sound, then noise
that was heard half mile. The cleo
trio lights went out, women and child
rem screamed, and dozens were piled
in heaps inside the room.
A Pulling Feature.
A puzzling feature is the fact that
many persons were more or less burn
ed when there was no blaze except
at the moment of explosion. Dresses
were almost completely burned from
several women and hair and eyebrows
singed on nearly all who were in the
wreck.
The building is almost total wreck.
The entire south wall was blown out
and the floors torn up. The partition
at the front was thrown into the
street Buildings adjoining were bad
ly damaged and plate glass windows
a square away were broken.
The cause of the explosion was the
ignition of escaping gas in the cellar
by match. carelessly dropped
through a grating by a boy.
