CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Francis H. Pol
ly, formerly chief clerk for the Oster-
mann Manufacturing company, was
the chief witness for the prosecution
today in the hearing of the conspiracy
charges again Frank P. Hartman,
John M. Taylor and C. L. Ewing, in
connection with the Illinois Central
car repair frauds.
Polly's testimony was as sensational
as that given on Monday and Tuesday
by Theophile Reuther and Fred C.
Barbett, also former employees of the
Ostermann concern.
Polly's connection with the Oster-
mann company, he said, covered the
years 1907, 1908 and 1909, during which
he declared that from So to 100 and
150 per cent was added to all Illinois
Central repair bills. He stated fur
ther that he and other employees of the
Ostermann concern had access to the
20. X" stamp used by the railroads
car inspectors and that he frequently
thus stamped bills to be presented to
the railroad for payment.
''Did the Ostermann company ever
depart from the car inspectors rec
ords in submitting repair bills to the
railroad?" asked Attorney Walter L.
Fisher for the prosecution.
"Yes." ~
"Under whose ordersT'
Henry c. Ostermann's," replied
Polly.
what was the average amount of
the bills?'
"They varied from $500 to s4OO a
car"
who gave instructions as to the
change of average%
"Ostermann. In 1908 it was 1925,
and in 1909 it was $275."
Polly said he did not think the in
spector whose name he signed, or
stamped, ever made an inquiry to de-
termine whether the material set
forth in the bill was supplied.

In the graft probe was not a success.
There were many bankers expected
to appear before the grand jury who
did not show up. They will do so
today, according to the district attor
ney, or be arrested. A lot of bankers
from the ak city repositories sent an
attorney to the district attorney to

they were wanted. District Attorney

FARTHER APART THAN EVER
Miners Refuse to Accept ultimatum
OF Operators.

Cincinnati, o.. March 29.-The op-
orators of Ohio, Indiana and western
Pennsylvania, and union miners who
have for over three weeks been In
conference regarding the miners de-
mands for increased wages and other
important concessions, seem farther
apart than ever during the protract-
ed powwows.
A marked refusal met the opera
tors ultimatum at the convention OF
the United Mine Workers OF Ameri.
ca. This ultimatum offered the con.
cession of s. cents ton wages to
the miners In place of the 10 cents
ton demanded. The miners argued
that the use of the new explosives
in western Pennsylvania would more
than offset the cents advance. The
new explosives are more costly than
the old and, according to custom,
must be paid for by the miners. Ap-
parently suspension of work at the
mines can now only be avoided by
other and greater concessions from
the operators.

and Pine Wreaths, and In Few Mo-

Women and Children Went Down
Before Maddened Rush For Exits.
Many Trampled to Death or Suffo-
Gated and Bodies Charred In Heat.
Vienna, March 29.-The most terri
BILE catastrophe that has happened in
Austria Hungary since the Ring the
ater was burned in 1881, occurred
when nearly 400 persons were killed
In fire which broke out In a large
coach house which had been fitted up
as dance hall at the village of
Oekoerito, near Mate-Szalka. More
than a hundred survivors of the ca.
tastrophe were shockingly injured.
Many of these will probably die.
One of the paper lanterns became
ignited, and before the blaze could be
quenched the festoon above became
ignited. The fire ran with lightning
rapidity, catching branch after
branch OF the resin-filled pine boughs
with which the hall was decorated.
At first those in the hall watched
the blaze with an air of half-amuse.
ment, apparently not realizing the
peril. Within short space of time,
however, those nearest the door be.
gan to make their way out, but very
few had passed into the air before
the whole ceiling was a roaring mass
of flames. Then 1t was that panic
seized the dancers. AS If with a
single impulse they rushed to the
door, where terrific battle took
place. All self.control and even the
respect for age or sex seemed to
vanish. While the foremost of the
crowd, that was now completely fren-
zied, were pushing clamoring and
struggling like wild animals, the ter
creating such jam that the door
could not be forced open. Children
and the weaker of the adGlts went
down before the maddened rush. The
stronger clambered over the pros
trate bodies OF the less fortunate and
still pressed ON from behind. Speed
lily numbers Of persons were tram
pied to death or suffocated, while
above the pile OF injured and dying
the awful battle ragged. BY this time
the clothing Of many Of the dancers
had been ignited by the blazing
boughs, which were constantly drop
ping from the roof. The flames
spread from one person to another.
The terrible scene was at its height
when the blazing roof fell in on those
below. A very few escaped unhurt.
The greater number OF them were
trampled to death. The spectacle
presented by the heaps of charred
bodies is an appalling one. 1t was
at first stated that the death list
could not exceed $50, but now 1t is
placed at 3s5, with about 80 seri-
ously injured.

StNTlMtNT UNDfRGOfS CHANGE
Prediction Freely Made Manz Girl
Can Not Be Convicted.

Canton, o., March 29.-That plans
were talked over for sending Kath-
crime ManZ, the l6-year-old Massillon
girl. to the Houe of the Good Shep-
herd, Cleveland, on the night before
Elizabeth ManZ was found dead, and
that this step might have been a mo-
tive for the crime, was the statement
OF Gotthart Manz, father of the ac-
cused girl. at the inquest conducted
by Coroner Harry A. March.
That Katherine Manz can never be
convicted is freely predicted. both in
Canton and Massillon. Ever since
the unusual conditions Of the home
life of the accused girl became
known sentiment, which was at first
against the girl in no uncertain
tones has changed. She was the
housekeeper for large family when
her young mind craved for pleasures.
She was an independent girl and dis
liked the duties which were intended
for woman 10 years her elder.
