TWO FATALLY INJURED
Woman and Three Girls Are
Rescued by Sailors From
Alcohol Flames.
TWO LEAP FROM WINDOW
Man Arrested, Charged With
FelOniOus Assault and Vol
stead Law Violation.

An explosion resulting, according
TO the police, from the application of
too much heat to a hootch still,
wrecked the three story frame build
ing at 8S7 Third avenue, Brooklyn,
just before midnight. Policemen
searching inside after the smoke had
cleared away and firemen had extin-
guished the flames found seven per-
sons including a woman and three lit
tie girls, unconscious from burns and
other injuries. Two men were found
so badly hurt that it was thought
they could not recover.
The critically injured men, Tony Mas
oarelli, 30. and Manascello Masco. oc-
cupants of furnished rooms in the build
ing, we're placed under arrest on charges
of felonious assault and violation of the
Volstead act. Mascareli was taken to
the Samaritan Hospital. while Masco
was taken to Kings County Hospital.
The other injured included Mrs. Eliza
Torgenson and her children, Leslie, q
years Gilmore, 3. and jeanette, 6. Eli

Hospital. while the others were taken to
Norwegian HoSp1tal. Mrs. IOrSenSOH )
brother Harvey Skogland, 53 years, also
was taken to Norwegian Hospital. He
received a fracture of the left leg and in
ternal injuries when he leaped from a
second story window to an extension roof
thirty feet below. The fourth of the
Torgenson children, Arthur, IA, fol-
lowed him, but was not hurt.
A panic was caused by the explosion.
Practically every window in the house
was sent, crashing to the street by its
force. Plaster dropped from ceilings
and there was a great hole torn in the
wall OF Mascarelli's room, where, 1t is
alleged. the still was being operated.
Several cans of a liquid believed to have
been alcohol burst into flame before
Mascarell and Masco could escape. and
their clothing was almost burned off
them
Patrolman Cole of the Fourth avenue
station and sailors from the United
States navy base at Twenty-third street
entered the building and dragged Mrs.
Torgenson and the others from the
wreckage. Cole, the first to reach the
scene Of the blast, turned in an alarm
OF fire and with Capt. James Gillen,
commanding the Fourth avenue precinct.
made the investigation that led to the
arrests.

HYLAN HOLDS UP MONEY
FOR HUNTER COLLEGE
Says Increases Were Giuen to
Loot City Treasury.

When DR.. George s. Davis. head of
Hunter College. appeared yesterday be-
fore the finance and budget committee
of the Board of Estimate to ask the
appropriation of $47.417 to pay increased
salaries of instructors made mandatory
by the last session of the Legislature.
Mayor Hylan had the committee Law
the matter over for two weeks and
declared he would do everything he
could TO prevent the increases going
into effect.
II know | am going to incur the en-
nifty of a lot of people," said the
Mayor. because a lot of high class
people went to Albany and got these
increases through with the sole idea
of looting the city treasury. Though
Hunter College is a local institution.
the Legislature made the measure a
Statewide bill to evade submitting it
to me and thus to force the city to
carry the additional burden. Then they
send down an investigating committee
to discover our extravagances."

MURRAY TELLS HOW
HE GOT THREE WIVES
Publisher Says First Two Had
Husbands Living, but He
Did Not Know 1t.

John w. Murray, publisher, of Is Eas,
Fortieth street, who was accused re-
Gently of having three wives, and who Is
now facing an action for separation
brought by Anita May Southwick, an
actress, in the Supreme Court submitted
an affidavit yesterday to field agent OF
the Government Bureau OF War Risd
Insurance, in which he alleges that the
second woman he wed duped him into
marriage to get his monthly allowances
while he was in the Marine Corps dur
ing the war.
The affidavit sets forth in full Mur-
rays marital experiences. He states
that he will make this affidavit the
basis of his defence in the separation
suit which comes to trial in June.
The Federal insurance agent. John j
Murray no relative of the defendant
became interested in Murray's compli-
Gated marital affairs through the ract
that a Miss Marie Elizabeth Dougherry
OF Brooklyn had been receiving Murray's
monthly allotments while he was serv-
ing at Paris Island S. c., in 1918, al
cording to the bureau.
Murray in his affidavit explains his
three marriages as follows:
On February "A, 1914, in the Church
OF the Transfiguration, he married Miss
Marie Posnar, a movie actress known
professionally as Marie PAWS. After
the marriage. he says she confessed she
already had husband when she was
married TO Murray. She admitted also
that she had a child, and Murray says
a birth certificate on file at the Depart
ment Of Health proves the father of
the infant was Charles Arlington, now
living in London.
Lawyers told him the marriage was
null and void, he continues. and he did
not seek to have 1t annulled in the
courts.
Before he was to entrain for Paris
Island on July Is, 1918. Miss Dougherty.
whom he met after his first marriage,
begged him to marry her, the affidavit
recites. She went TO the City Club the
night before his departure and expressed
her affection. They were married. and
Murray SAYS he arranged that Miss
Dougherty should continue work he had
left while an employee of the National
Security League.
Although he had hoped she would use
her influence TO induce the war bePoi =
ment to transfer him back to New YORK
for work in the preliminary training OF
recruits. she actually made every effort,
he declares. to have him sent overseas.
boring he would 70 West"
His transfer to New York took place
however. and then he learned. he says,
that Miss Doughcrty was the wife of
NJ. J. Hertz, news photographer. She
had maintained a Brooklyn address
South oxford street-where she re-
ceived his monthly allotments, he
charges.
Confronted with this evidence In Janu-
airy. 1919, Murray declares Miss Dough-
erty admitted her attempt to dupe him.
on December "a, 1920, Murray mar
ried Miss Southwick. professionally
known as Ann Warwick, believing that

than 5000 persons gathered In Park
Cemetery to-day during the burial of
Elwood r. Wade, who was hanged at
wothers1eld last Friday for the murder
OF George II. Mott last August. Very
few OF the crowd had any business there
other than curiosity, and when Wade's
mother and his wife came In with the
body they pushed so close that 1t was
with difficulty the funeral party ap-
preached the grave.
Both the mother and the wife became
very nervous when they saw the star
ing. pushing crowd, and the wife tainted
as she went forward to watch the coffin
being lowered. She was carried to the
hack In which she had come and taken
home. Before the funeral a huge crowd
gathered at the Wade home. but the
doors were locked and none Of them was

CROPSEY NOT PICKING
HIS RUNNING MATES
Calls Talk of Mayoralty As
pirofions Premature.

Justice James G. Cropsey of the ST.
preme Court. Brooklyn. said last night
he never had said anything that could
be construed as the basis of a story
printed in an afternoon paper to the
effect that he would run as the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor in case
lie we're permitted to pick the candi-
dates for the other places In the Board
of Estimate. He added that any dis
cussion OF his name as a possible can
didate for Mayor was premature"
Those who know Justice Cropsey we'll
express the belief he would be glad to
run for Mayor. II he were pretty sure
of election. but would be 10th to enter
the fight unless he had some such as

Yesterday the conferences can produce

The American Steamship owners

tarys compromise suggestions, but de-
e,ded to send a committee to see MN

stated. however. that the committee
was going to washington not to neso-

cessions but merely to notify MI.

that of a conference with each other.
