HEARST OUTGENERALS
MRS. HETTY GREEN
Goes to Court Alleging That She
Tried TO Extort Money
From Him.
SHE CALLED THE POLICE
Decides Finally TO Let Him Pay OFF
Mortgage Without Extra
Interest.
SHE CALLED THE POLICE

An allegation that Mrs Hetty Green had
attempted TO extort money from William
r. Hearst was made Yesterday before
Supreme Court Justice Davis by C. NJ
Bovee, counsel for Hearst and for the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company.
in connection with a motion to compel
Mrs. Green to accept s?75 900 in payment
of mortgage with interest up to last
Monday and cancel the mortgage
The lawyer said that when Mr.. Hearst's
representatives went to Mrs. Green
Office last Monday to paw off the mortgage
Mrs Green slammed the door in their
faces and called for thr police" He said
that Mrs Green had held the mortgage
since 1904 and that Mr. Hearst recently
obtained loan for $3.50 Oo0 from the in
surance company and instructed his
representatives to have Mrs. Green $
mortgage cancelled Mrs. Green. Mr.
Bovee said demanded additional interest
for thirty days amounting 10 sl.l+5.
Mr. Bovee asked permission yesterday
to withdraw the order requiring Mrs
reen to appear and show cause why the
mort gage shouldn't be cancelled and told
the court that she had captulated and
had turned over the mortgage He
wanted costs though. The court reserved
decision.
At her office at Ill Broadway Mrs,
Green said concerning the case:
Mr.. Hearst took advantage Of me in
IN absence Of my son, who is out Of the
city for few days. My son had been
handling the business with Nr Hearst
ana naturally objected to cancell!ng the
mortgage in his absence The charge
that ! tried to extort additional interest
i, absurd | simply asked Mr. HeaTst's
representatives TO wait until my son
returned, and they refused ! added the
thirty days interest. to which | think
was entitled under the law. Mr. Hearst ;
lawyers then got the order for ME to show
cause IN court and rather than bother
with the case any more decided 10 cancel
the mortgage and let the additional in
terest go.
Five of Mr Hearst's representatives
came TO my Office at once and practically
forced their way in They told me they
came from Mr.. Hearst, but told them

wanted them to get out. Then ! tele-

that they gave me palpitatlon of the heart.
And look how the veins IN my arms are
distended. They did that, My son, Ned,
will he home tomorrow, and maybe he
will straighten the thing out
Mrs. Green said that the loan in ques-
tion had IN her opinion run into call
loan and she believed she was entitled To
thirty DAYS notice and interest on the
payment of such a loan,

Pact, Stll Indorses Poincare.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun
PARIS. Feb. s.--Senator Baudin. the
reporter Of the Senate committee which
considered the Franco-German treaty
upon Morocco, continued his speech on
the convention in the Senate to-day.
He said he regretted the sacrifices that
were involved for France. but he was
convinced that the general interests Of
the country demand the unanimous rati-
fication Of the agreement.
Senator Goirand followed. He said
the treaty would help to remove the diff
ferences between England and Germany
for a time and he was therefore prepared
to vote for it.
Senator Pichon, who was formerly
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. was the next
speaker. He declared that he was un-
willing to vote for the treaty. He OK
pressed regret that France had not vigor-
ously responded to the German threat
at Agadir. but he said he supposed VI,
Caillaux's semi official conversations had
hampered the Cabinet Of which NJ. Gail
laux was the Premier. Senator Pichon
said that although he could not vote
for the treaty he had the fullest confidence
in the Poincare Ministry.

ROME, Feb s,-The Pope gave an
audience to-day TO Mgr Bonzano. who
was appointed recently to succeed Car

the United States. The Pontiff pre-
sonted the new delegate with a gold
pectora cross studded with brillants
and an episcopal ring,
The interview lasted for some time.
The Pope talked in the most affectionate
manner of the American clergy. He
allaved Mgr. Bonzano's diffidence as to
his ability for his new post by assuring
him that his duties would be easier than
those connected with his former position
that of rector Of the Propaganda College
This would be especially the case, said
the Pope because the American episco-
pate and clergy were greatly attached to
the Holy See and were models of zeal
and piety,
Mgr Bonzano's conservation as tituar
Bishop of Mityene will take place on
March g. The services will be conducted
by Cardinal Merry del Val the Papal

The Development

PEALIZING that fires are pos

has devoted as much effort to the devel-
opment Of fr sofe construction as it has
to the improvement Of freproof building

That none OF the recent fires in modern

ings have spread beyond their source OF
origin. is greatly due TO the influence this
Company has had upon building design.

WANT INDIANA TO TAKE
STEPS 10 CLEAN SEWAGE

Washington, w. D., June 27.-Chica-
go has sanitary conditions better on
the whole than are found in other
cities on the great lakes. In the pre-
cautions taken against pollution of the
water supply there is little room for
Improvement
These are the conclusions expressed
in the report of the public health and
marine hospital service, made public
today, embodying Investigations
throughout the great lakes district and
the connecting rivers.
In the entire district covered by the
report, however, typhoid fever is held
to be unduly prevalent. In the sum-
mer resorts on the eastern shore of
Lake Michigan. it is said. proper pre-
cautions are not take for the rush of
| summer tourists.
The average number of cases and
deaths fran typhoid fever throughout
| the country is shown to be higher than
| it is abroad. The extinction OF the
! disease through sanitary precautions Is
predicted.

REMEDY
WANTED
BY GARY

Remedies for crippled building con-
ditions in Gary are to be administered
by the Commercial Club upon tina
recommendation of committee APP
pointed this morning by President
Norton. s. j. Watson, G. z. wire
Harry Hall. c. D. Davidson and Henry
Nossler are the men who are to act on
this committee. 1t will be their duty
to investigate the scarcity of buildings
in the city Both dwellings and bust
ness blocks will come under this head
ployes of local Industries are compel
ed TO live in neighboring cities. 1t was
asserted by members of the CONNER
cial club that these commuters num-
Der 1000.
That the business men of the city
are losing greatly by this condition is
generally recognized and the move
ment for more homes has the approval
of all. The committee came into exist
ence a the meeting of the club Mon
day night but the names were not Civ
en- out until today.
Despite the predictions made last
year that there were too many bust
ness blocks on Broadway from Fifth
to Tenth avenues there is a demand
easily obtained and investors fee
justified in building wherever they car
in the city. Residences. store rooms
and office buildings are alike in de-
mand.

reaches 1900, 900, 10000 cubic feet a
second would be required. The war
department has ruled that 10000 cubic
feet second is the limit which the
sanitary district may divert, from Lake
Michigan. There are other reasons,
however, why the limit of di1ution by
10000 cubic feet will be reached even
earlier in Chicago"
Concurs In Wisner Views.
The recommendations of Chief Engi-
neer Wisner are concurred in and In
cluded in the report. Among the con-
illusions reached by wisner are:
THAT the speedy construction of the
Calumet-Sag canal is essential for the
Calumet district in order to remove
the danger of pollution of the Sixty
eighth street crib intake and to i'm
prove the conditions in the main chan
mel by supplying idlution water.
That the use of water today in Chit
cago is excessive and should be cut
down by the proper inspection of
plumbing and the installation on an
extended scale of meters.
That the sanitary condition in the
south branch, south fork of the south
branch, and west fork of the south
! branch should be improved by the in
sallation of settling tanks in the stock
yards district along the north branch
and in the sewers emptying into the
Ogden ditch.
That the water in the Illinois river
should be kept flowing swiftly as
possible and the dams will prove a
detriment from the standpoint of SAM
tary conditions"
Suggested Remedies.
1t is recommended that steps be TAX
en- imm ediately to inaugurate these
improvements. urther recommends
ton are:
} should be secured at once to cover the
probable sites required for the i'm
provements up to 1890
That the discharge of industrial
} wastes into the rivers or sewers should
be regulated and kept under control OF
the sanitary district.
That negotiations should be start
ed with the proper authorities in Indi-
ana to induce the municipalities locat-
ed along the Calumet watershed t
. purify the sewage now being discharg-
| ed into the Calumet river and thence
into Lake Michigan.
f That the emergency use of hypo
8 chiorite of calcium as a sterilizins
e agent on the water supply coming
: from the Sixty-eighth street Grill
should be undertaken.
That In order to protect the intake
( of the water supply the federal an,
s state authorities have the right to pro
e hibit the discharge of sewage from
: vessels inside the harbor. Actor
r. should be taken to prosecute the cap
r tains of all tugs who are negligent Il
