ASKS WITNESS Be
HELD FOR FRAUDS
Attorney for Illinois Central Off
ciaIS Demands That C. H.
Policy Be Detained

CHICAGO, Sc. t. 2.-The hearing Of
conspiracy charges against former IL
linois Central officials in the munich
pal court resulted today in demand
by the defense that Clarence H. Pol
ley, former chief clerk of the Oster-
mann Manufacturing company, he held
to the grand jury as a self-confessed
participant in the big car repair frauds.
Mr.. Policy, who was brought to Chi
cago from his home In California by
the prosecution, had given considerable
evidence against Frank B. Hartman,
John G. Taylor and Charles e. Ewing,
the three defendants in the conspiracy
hearing.
When the cross-examination of Pol
ley was concluded, Attorney Hoover
for the defense asked to address Judge
Bruggemeyer. Attorney Hoover first
turned to Policy, asking if Policy in
tended to return to California.
Eyes, 1 de-" said Policy.
"Then," continued Attorney Hoover,
''I demand that this witness be held
to the grand jury as a self-confessed
participant in the frauds that have
been perpetrated against the Illinois
Central.
"I demand that he be bound over to
the grand jury for examination on a
criminal charge"
Judge Bruggemeyer ordered Attorney
Hoover to prepare a petition contain
ing his demand for presentation to the
court tomorrow.

TROUBLE FOR RECTOR WHO
MARRIED THE HEINZES
Objection Made Because Rev. DR..
Handel Performed Ceremony

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The recent
marriage by an Episcopal clergyman
of Fritz Augustus Heinze, the Mon
tana copper king, to Mrs Bernice
Golden Henderson, who divorced her
husband some time ago. has been
called to the attention of Bishop Bur-
CESS. head of the diocese of Long Is
land. The canon of the Episcopal
church prohibits the marriage of di-
v~rced person, and minister perform
ing such a marriage is liable to ex-
pulsion from the ministry If an &C.
clesiastical so wills. Heinze's mar
riage was performed by the Rev. A.
II. Hendel of Brooklyn.
In reply to inquiries Bishop Bur-
CESS declined to say what action he
would take in the matter beyond stat
in.y that he would communicate at once
with the Rev. DIR. Handel and ask for
an explanation. There is some diff
ference of opinion among the mem
bers of the Episcopal church as the
c. Instruction to be put upon the canon.
Many hold 1t prohibits the marriage
of persons against whom decree of
divorce has been pronounced, but does
not prevent the innocent party in di-
vorce proceedings.

NEW YORK TO BE LARGER
THAN LONDON IN 80 YEARS
Statistician Figures Out That the
Cities Will Be Equal in 1886

NEW YORK. Sept. "A majority
of the New Yorkers of the present day
will live to see their city outstrip Lon
don and become the first city of the
world in population, according to Act
ing Mayor John P. Mitchell, who bases
his prophecy on computations of the
comparative growth Of the two cities
for many years back
The probable growth of the two big
gest cities of the world is estimated
by the city statisticians at an annual
ratio of 3.S per cent for New York and
1.6 per cent for London y
Twenty-Five years hence, then, Lon
don and New York should each contain
about 100000 inhabitants. Annexa-
ton of suburbs will probably increase
the size of both cities beyond these fig
ures, but in 1885 or 1886 New York
should become the larger city, and in
1910 should surpass London by many
hundreds of thousands.

JARRED OFF BEAM
FATALLY HURT At
NEW HOTEL ANNEX
Iron Worker Is Second Victim Of
Slipping Gables at Alex
andria Building
DROPS so FEET TO BASEMENT
TWeIve-Ton Girder Slips Through
Chains and Falls at the
Side of Victim

Martin Burkowitz, 27 years old, a
non-union structural iron worker en-
ployed by the Baker iron works, late
yesterday afternoon was hurled from a
heavy iron beam that was being hoist
ed in place on the second story of the
Alexandria annex, at Fifth and Spring
streets, and incurred injuries that prob
ably will cause his death. The acci-
dent is similar to the one that resulted
In the death of Louis Jeffries at the
same place Thursday afternoons
Burkowitz-or Burke, as he is known
to his employers-was riding 24,00O-
pound girder that was being lifted by
a crane derrick. The gigantic piece or
steel was slowly raised into place, and
when it was poised above the second
floor, preparatory to being shifted into
position, the cable controlling 1t clipped,
allowing the girder to fall twelve feet.
When this much of the cable had been
played out the downward flight was
stopped with a suddenness that jerked
Burkowitz from the beam and sent him
headlong to the basement, forty feet
below.
The Jar also dislodged the girder 1t
slipped through the chains that held 1t
to the huge block and plunged end
foremost to the bottom. 1t struck with
In a few feet Of Burkowitz, and the end
was buried several feet in the ground
The unfortunate workman in falling
struck the right side of his neck on a
heavy piece Of plank on the second
floor. This threw him several feet to
one side, and he bumped from beam to
beam until ne landed on the ground.
The injured man was taken to the
receiving hospital, where the police sur
geons found lie had suffered a frac-
tured skull, a dislocated right shoulder,
fractures OF both legs and multiple cuts
and bruises on the face and body. The
physicians say he probably will die as
the result of his injuries.
The accident yesterday, it appears,
was identical with the one that cost
the life of Louis Jeffries. Both were
due to the cable slipping on the crane.
Shortly after the police were notified
of the accident some person telephoned
that a riot was in progress at the scene
of Thursdays disturbance, and squad
of eight patrolmen was detailed to in
vestigate. Later 1t was learned that
the excitement was due to a crowd as.
sembling when the patrol wagon ap-
peared.

STATES DYNAMITE
HIDING WAS JOKE
Albert Kennedy Explains to Police
About Explosives at An
mex TO Alexandria

An investigation made yesterday
convinced the police department that
the finding Of twelve sticks of dyna-
mite near the Hotel Alexandria Thurs
day night, a few hours after the col
lision between men employed on the
annex and strike sympathizers, had
no connection with labor troubles.
Albert Kennedy who was arrested
when he picked up the package con-
tanning the dynamite, told the police
he was employed on a ranch near
Glendale, that he bought the powder
to use it on the farm, and that a
drunken friend took it from the saloon
in which he left 1t and hid 1t near
the hotel as a joke.
These statements were substantial
ed yesterday, when detectives located
Robert Ford, the man who took the
powder from the saloon in which Ken
nedy left 1t. Ford admitted that
kennedy told the truth. Kennedy,
who had been detained pending a
thorough investigation of the case,
was released.
When the dynamite was discovered
IL caused a sensation, for the authori-
ties connected its presence near the
hotel with the rioting that preceded
its discovery by only a few hours. At
first Kennedy's story was not credited,
Yesterday, however, it became appaf-
ent that neither strikers nor nom
unionists had anything to do with the
powder episode.
"JUsT CAREIESS," SAYS KENNEDY
"It was a careless thing for me to
do in leaving the dynamite in the
saloon and guess 1 got what was
coming to me by being brought up
here for investigation" Kennedy told
the detectives after he had been re-
leased.
kennedy lives at iii East Second
street, Glendale. He is employed w
G. W. Sanford, rancher living near
there, and had been boring water
tunnel through the farm. 1t was for
this purpose that he purchased the ex-
plosives
The two strikers who were arrested
during the rioting at the Hotel Alex
andria annex on Spring street between
Fifth and Sixth streets, Thursday af-
ternoon, were arraigned In Police
Judge Williams court yesterday.
G. M. Fielder, charged with battery,
WAS given until September to enter
his plea. He is at liberty under $100
cash bail. Fielder is alleged to have
struck Edward Gaylord on the head
with a beer bottle when the latter at
tempted to interfere with another
striker.
Eivin Sweet, who was arrested on a
charge of assault with a deadl.' weap-
on. was arraigned and his bail fixed at
$4,000 which he was unable to furnish.
