CITY FIRE TRAPS

With Councilmen Haney, McDer-
mott and Zimmerman voting ir the
negative, members of City Council
last evening, acting upon the recon-
mtndation of the IRE committee, of

per, in fire protection TO study local

lair whether the employees are fully

spect such buildings and he did not
think it necessary to employ an ex-
pert. He referred to Council refusing
to allow money for the fire chief tc
attend a convention where such mat
ters we're discussed, and in conclu-
sion he suggested the matter be re-
ferred TO the committee of the whole

more than he can attend to now. HI

INDICTED THESE
AFTER LONG WAIT
Federal Bill Is Found In MyS-
teriOuSIy Postponed InSur-
anCe Case

Henry ?. Townley and Victor Luh-
liner. Of New York City, were indicted
by the Federal Grand Jury yesterday
afternoon, on the charge OF conspiring
against the United States government
by devising and intending to devise a
scheme to defraud Eva NJ. schwertzer
and others, by fraudulent pretenses
by means Of an insurance scheme.
The men were arrested in 1910, but
their case had been indefinitely post
poned on recommendation of the Uni
ted States Attorney General office, and
did not come before the grand jury
at that time.
After the men had been arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Mahaffy. in November, 1910 and held
under SS5O0 bail each for the grand
jury, the case was indefinitely post
poned before being considered by the
grand jury, and the announcement
was made in court at the time by
District Attorney John r. Nicelds that
he had been advised by the attorney
general that the prosecution of the
defendants had been indefinitely post
poned.
Accordingly, their bail bond was
cancelled and they we're dis
charged by the court. Leaving here
they went to New York and an effort
will be made TO apprehend them.
While the local government officials
are reticent about the case, IL is un.
derstood that the prosecution was a.
that time In the hands of Special AS
sistant Attorney General w. r. Harr
who recently resigned. and his rea
sons for postponing the case are no
known.
The grand jury ascertained that th'
/ alleged scheme to defraud referred t
the purchase of shares of stock Of thi
National Assurance Company. a cor
poration of Delaware, having an yu
thorized capital of the par value o
$1,000 000 each share having the pa
value of SO. said shares not being o
the value as represented.
The grand jury met again at
o'clock this morning to consider o.he
cases.
