associated with him in this enterprise
Mr.. Erkins said last night that the
greater part of the money to carry out
the plans for improving the site would
be furnished by his business associate.
Tentative plans for a building for the
block front have been drawn. They are
likely to be changed considerably.
However. the final plans will provide for
the erection Of a theatre at each end
OF the block. These theatres will be
built some distance west of the Broad

through a large, wide arcade from the
Broadway side.
In the centre of the restaurant there
will be glass dome about sixty feet

rant orchestras in the world.
There will be separate kitchens to ac-
commodate each six hundred guests. so
that some ten kitchens will be required.

Crime, Clearing Butler.
TBy Telegraph to The tribune !

Poughkeepsie. N. Y. Jan 17.-Frank
Schermerhorn. who is in the vassar Hos
pltal as the result Of an attempt to COM
NIT suicide by cutting his throat soon
after the officials began their investiga-
ton into the murder OF Miss Sarah
brymer in the home of Barnes Compton
at. Millbrook. last Thursday morning.
confessed TO committing the crime to-
night to Sheriff Townsend and TTnder
Sheriff Hornbeck. He was accused of
having entered Miss Brymer's room and
strangled her to death as she slept.
Schermerhorn made his confession after
talk with his mother this afternoon. She
had been urged by the Sheriff to induce
her son TO tell the true story OF his con-
nection with the crime and had in turn
urged her son to confess if he were
guilty.
Schermerhorn denied his guilt at first
and laid the blame on the japanese but
Ter, Ohashi. He said that he stood on
the veranda at the Compton house as the
butler murdered Miss Brymer, and that
later the Japanese gave him a large
amount of silverware and jewelry. which
he secreted in his house
In his confession the coachman said
that he was. intoxicated on the night of
the murder. He was out driving with
two other servants. he said, and on his
return went to his cottage He arose at
l o'clock and went TO the main house Of
his employer. and ascended the stairs to
Miss Brymer's room. Thereafter, he said,
he had only a dim recollection of what
happened, asserting that he moved about
in a drunken stupor. He said. however.
that he must have murdered Sarah
Brymer."
Schermerhorn said that he could give
no accurate account of the crime He
admitted that he took from the house
the missing silverware and jewelry and
that subsequently he placed them in the
stove in his kitchen. He retracted his
former accusation against the butler and
said that the latter had nothing to do
with the crime.
I did not intend to commit murder"
said Schermerhorn. according to the Of
fcials, but I only intended it for a
scare do not remember stealing the
clothes and the silverware. but I do re-
member trying TO burn the silverware.
I left the house by way Of the kitchen
door when Mary butcher "a servanO
came out Of her door I alone am re-
sponsible- and no one else is concerned
in it"
Just as Schermerhorn finished his
confession to the officers his mother
tainted and was cared for by the hospital
authorities
SchermerhOrn will probably be tried at
the 8 pTiI term of the SIlOrer11a Court IL,
Poughkeepsie.
