OWNERS OF WAIST
FACTORY INDICTED

New York, April 12.-Isaac Harris
and Max Blanck, owners of the Tri
angle Waist Company, were indicted
yesterday afternoon by the grand jury
which is investigating the circum.
stances of the Washington place fire
of March 20, as a result of which las
employees were killed. There are
four indictments and they charge each
man with manslaughter in the first
and second degrees.
The maximum penalty is twenty
years Imprisonment. Both men
were arrested at their homes, ar
raigned and entered pleas of not gull
ty, and were released on a bail of
$4,000.
The indictments charge the defend
ants with being responsible for the
deaths of two girls whose charred
bodies were found on the ninth floor
of the building.
The district attorney hopes to prove
that the girls tried the door of the
ninth floor in trying to escape and
found it locked.

the most beautiful specimen of fif-

in London. Shakespeare dined at it's
festive board and mentions it in his
play of Richard III.
Crosby Hall was erected by Sir
John Crosby, who was an alderman of
London in 1863. 1t was the highest

ly curious. Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur of a live
lynx with cat or a rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference in dyed
furs. OF course they won't, but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind of an animal caracul grows on,
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that is sold for caracul grows on have

of the fickleness of royal favor.
Other owners of the hall were An
tonic Bonvisi, an Italian and an init
fz,ate friend of Sir Thomas More, and
Aid Bond, after whom it passed into
the possession of Sir John Spencer.
During his occupancy of it Crosby
Hall was the scene of lavish enter

Henry ". of France, who was sent
on a grave political mission to Eng
land, was received and Toasted and at
various times Queen Elizabeth and
Raleigh, Bacon and Shakespeare and
other great luminaries in the life of
England, dined and danced, made love

and paraded their virtues and their

Crosby Hall afterward became a
