referred to as one of those who ought
to be held responsible.
For the purpose of framing the
indictments the Grand Jury, by direc-
ton of District Attorney Ruston, took
the deaths of Isaac Bastion of No.

of No. Howard Avenue, both
workmen, as typical and found one
indictment on the two counts against
each of the men held for each of the
two deaths.

fore Judge Martin. Stephen Baldwin

former Assistant District Attorney

All four pleaded not guilty. Dis
trict Attorney Ruston asked $4,000
bail. Counsel for Finlay and Kava-
naugh pleaded for n smaller amount
and the requirement was reduced to
$5, 900 in their cases.

SE|zEDO ON YACHT
OF BROOKLYNM MAN
Taken From the Patricia,
Owned by James Shewan,
Ship Building Firm Head,
WIRE SENT DAUGHERTY.
Owner Claims the Cargo at
Miami Was Seized In Frisco
and Returned to Him.

MIAMI, Fla. March 1S.-Customs
officials to-day seized sos cases of
wines and liquors aboard the Patricia.
n palatial yacht tied up here. The
yacht is owned by James Shewan.
When the officers boarded the yacht
Edwin S. Shewan, brother of the
owner, rushed to n telegraph offlce
and wired Attorney General Daugh-
erty TO order the release of the cargo.
The liquor was estimated by off,
ciais to be worth $4,000.
! wan clsfS1 tis" 'h.ao is the
same seized at san francisco a year
ago by Prohibition officials, but which
was returned to him as liquor pur-
chased before the Federal Prohibition
amendment became effective.
The PatIica was built thirteen years
ago at a cost of $780, 900 but local
yachtsmen say it would cost $500, 900
TO day to reproduce her. The unload
ing of the cargo, which was stored in
a warehouse to be held pending action
by the courts, consumed the greater
part of the forenoon.
The seizure was the largest ever
made in this section of Florida and
with the confiscation of three car
loads of liquor on the tracks of the
Florida East Coast Railway here, at
Fort Pierce and in Jacksonville
Thursday night and Friday brings the
total seizures of liquor in the State TO
1857 cases in the last three days.
The Patricia was seized by Prohi-
bition Agents in Monterey, Cal,
early in December and the wine and
liquors aboard taken into custody. A
warrant was issued for Mr.. Shewan.
He made the defense that the yacht
was of British registry and was
bought by him with the wines and
liquors on board and were kept
sealed while in American ports. But
the agents charged that the contra
band beverages had been "stolen"
from O Monterey warehouse. Gavin
McNab's 8 firm undertook the defense
of Mr.. Shevan.
On Dec. 80 Attorney General
Daugherty ordered the yacht released
from it's 100000 bail, ordered the
owner discharged from his $1,000 bal
and the liquors restored. He said the
raiding agents had committed a more
serious crime than that they charged
against Mr.. Shewan.
Mr.. Shewan is the head of James
Z. Shewan & Sons, Inc, shipbuilders
of South Brooklyn. At the office to-
day it was said that no information
regarding the matter of the seizure
was available in the absence of the
younger members of the firm.

YOUNG DODGE in JAIL WORKS
so HARD WHEELING COAL THAT
HIS HANDS BLISTER; LIKES 1T
Says He Wants to Work and
Has No Kick on the
Prison Grub.
"BEING RICH is TOUGH"
"If Had Been an Ordinary
Fellow" He Says, "These
Things Wouldn't Happen"

Especial TO The Evening Worldly
DETROIT, March 1S.--Hls hands
covered with blisters, his back aching,
John Duval Dodge, the much INDUCED
son Of the late John L. Dodge, mil
linoaire Detroit motor manufacturer
who died in New York two years ago,
performed to day what is likely to be
the hardest days work he will ever do
in all his life. Incidentally, he did
the work in the prison here where, in
stripes, he is serving n five-day SEN
tence for speeding which was i'm
posed on him last Thursday.
Young Dodge, assigned to the task
Of loading and carrying coal from the
prison pile to the furnace stokers, so
manned his hands at the task during
the forenoon that he was advised TO
be little less strenuous when work
was knocked OF for the MONDAY meal
Of meat, pie, bread, and coffee.
While he is at the coal carrying job
his attorneys are seeking in every way
to bring about his release befor his
term expires on Monday morning. But
he apparently pays little attention TO
their efforts, doing his allotted work
with will. When some Of his fel-
low prisoners told him he could get
out of labor by refusing to do it and
being sent to the dungeon for refrac-
tory inmates, he replied, mot for me
FIN going to work.
A writ of habeas corpus under
which he had been released tempor-
arily from the House of Correction
had been dismissed and 1t was then
the Supreme Court was unsuccess-
fully invoked to keep the youthful
speeder from jail.
His young wife was his constant
companion and adviser in this battle.
and at times was in tears over his
failures. His final comment of the
day came as he was returned to TIE
House OF Correction, redressed in
prison uniform and told he would
have to go to work to-day.
He spent the night on n bunk in
the corridor of the prison and was up
at work early. He said he didn't OBJ
ject to being detailed to the coal con-
veying task, as it kept him outdoors
the greater part of the day.
Prison fare is not at all distasteful
to him, he says. and this morning
he had sausage, brown gravy, bread
and coffee. The bread, he declared.
was better than he got outside the
prison.
Dodge's five-day term will end
Monday forenoon and on the follow
ing morning he is to appear in Kdla-
mazoo to answer charges arising from
an automobile accident which oc
CURED there last Sunday.

4 record for marriages for the
Saturday half holiday was broken
this morning in the city chapel, in

Cruise officiating for only seven
