FIRE NOW TO GRAND JURY
Gummere Orders Rigid Inquiry
; Into Newark Disaster.
Chief Justice OfiiaMn «r the Supreme
Court charged the pwl jury at New**
yesterday on the Wolf building fire, in
Which twenty-live jnHs and women lost
their lives. The Chief Justice <iuoted the
law regarding the duties of owners of
buildings, for equipping them for the pro
•..-!■,,;, .>:" »■■•■■ inmates.
Th« law." he said, "impose? a duty on
the employer that workshops must be rea
sonably safe and employes must not be
unnecessarily subjected to dangers. When
.1 man fails in this he is responsible to
them, and in atm of death resulting he Ul
tlien responsible to the relatives for that
neglect. He may not necessarily bo crim
inally responsible, however, for }n order to
make him so his dereliction must be shown
to have been so preat that it was reckless.
Every neglect that produced death does not
make a man criminally responsible."
The court charged the jury that if it
found the building van equipped in (M
formity With the law, even though a rail-
Ing of one escape was a little lower than
the law called for, or the tread on the
other escape a little narrower than it should
be. the owner Tap not criminally respon
sible, unless it was shown that these de
fect* had something to do with the 1*63
of life. He added:
"If this terrible affair mmm the result of
lost presence of mind on the part of those
j«ior. unfortunate girls, and their loss of
life was the result of their failure to use
the stairs or lire escapes, you must so find.
If you find, after investipatinK. that no
man Is responsible, it is your duty to say
so. just as it is your duty to point to the

Albany. Dec. 13.— Attorney General O'Mal

Milton Bueky. of New York, a lawyer, ask
ing him to begin an action against the
Knights of Pythias, one of the largest fra
ternal orders, to cancel their certificate to

state and appoint a receiver of all assets
and property in the state. He aiso a. ks
that th«» order be enjoined from doing any
further business in New York.
Mr. Bucky. acting for Thomas Barber, of

show? that at the present time it. is carry
ing insurance of the 'fourth class amounting
to HajtCSus, with cash on hand to pay this
aggregating $615,668. The Attorney General
has taken the letter under advisement.
Representatives in X*»w York of the Su

has a membership of more than Tto.OOQ, are
not much concerned over the news that
on»» of the beneficiaries of the old "fourth
class" insurance department who has been
m since 188 T. is threatening suit for a re
ceivership and asking for an injunction re
straining tho order from doing business in
New York State. They s«y the action con

legally and successfully working to main

I Thomas Barber, of No. 105 Rogers street.
I Brooklyn, is the member who has asked
| Attorney General O'Mrtlley for a receiver.
He Bays he has been asked to Increase his

William La4ew, of this city, a member of
the board of control of the Insurance de
' partment of the Knights of Pythias, said
yesterday that the order was not insolvent.
and that every m»ml>»r of the fourth class
' department has been regularly notified by

FOR REVISION OF TARIFF
< ..nilnut-.i from firs* |>i«xe
carried out dangled elusively before both
sides of Che Senate without brin^i"tr forth
any well defined idea ac to what may dp
expected in the way of a crystallisation at
opinion. Senator Cummins's speech gradu
ally developed into a general discussion of
constitutional privilege, In which the orig
inal problem was lost sight of, and neither
Democrats nor Republicans were inclined
to commit themselves to any line- of action.
ft became apparent thHt the Republicans
leaned toward ih«> idea of piecemeal re
vision in principle. Senator Aldrich, who
was a central figure in the debate, declared
himself in favor of revision subject by
subject, rather than schedule by schedulej
aft^r a careful and systematical investiga
tion of the conditions of production. Later,
When Senator Heyburn arose to demand
that the Republican party be absolved of
any such confession, Mr. Aldrich added
that he did not favor any action at the
present time which would have the effect
of hampering the Democrats of the House
In dealing with th« tariff question. Referring
to the Cummins resolution to amend the
rules, he added that tho same effect could
be obtained by the concurrent action of
both f:i<ie-s without taking up the problem
of amending the rules, which he held to be
impracticable at the present time.
The Democrats were inclined to go no
further than the defence of the constitu
tional privileges of the House and Senate,
indicating that the^ Cummins resolution is
not likely to meet a favorable reception
from them. - V«V
The question of tariff revision itself, how
ever, was carefully evaded. Senator Lodge
said that be supported the Cummins idea
of revision schedule by schedule, but would
speak on the subject later. Other Republi
cans presented constitutional or other Ob
jections to the method proposed in such
number that it is a foregone conclusion
that the changes will not be made with
their consent.
The chief objection which seemed to find
support on both the Democratic and Repub
lican Fides was the limitation of the right
of the Senate to" amend financial measures
originating in the House. Senator Aldricb
declared that to curtail this privilege would
he revolutionary in effect, and would be a
menace to states' right"-. Some of the
Democrats apparently shared this view.
Senator Cummins's Speech.
Mr. Cummins disavowed any intention of
opening a general tariff discussion. Still,
he found it difficult to avoid a general ex
pression on tariff question?.
"It is well known." he -aid, "thai I con
sider excessive and inexcusable many of the
duties levied by the law of IW9. I know
also that many people believe that the .aw
should be amended. During the recent po
litical Strugs^ I did not hear a single ut
terance by a Republican that did pot ad
mit that the law contains duties that ought
to be changed, and that it is the duty of
Coneress to act speedily."
Declaring that under existing P arliament "
ary usage in the House and Fenate the
amendment of a tariff law is out^ of the
question, he contended that the test step
to be taken was the modincatton of the
rules so as to render it posstt^^
an individual provision of the tail ft a
without taking up the entire ***$£&$£

I tfe e cummins spoke for about two hours
and a half, and in the course cl. his re
marks severely criticised the Senate prac
tice of building up Mils to its own liking

Mr. Aktrich did not follow him in ibis
contention. „
•Tou are sailing into a very broad sea.
he remarked.
"Wen. if I find myself in a port where
my vessel is infected with some horrible
contagion. 1 prefer the open water," re
plied Mr. Cummins: evidently satisfied with
his position.
"In that event," blandly retorted th«
Senator from Rhode Island, "the Senator
Is liable to remain in the open tor a lons
time."
As the [ova Senator proceeded to de
velop his opposition to Senate arntndmeiits

HALTS WATER TUNNEL BIOS
Mayor Said to Oppose Bensel's
, Haste in Letting Contracts.
[Corporation Counsel Watson has refused
to approve the forms of contract for the
construction of the first four sections of
the deep pressure rock tunnel for the con
veyance of the Catsklll w*ter from Yon
ker? to Brooklyn. The advertisements f^r
bids on the work have therefore been with
drawn from the City Record.
It Is understood that Mayor Gaynor did
not altogether approve of. the apparent
haste of John A. Bensel, head of the Board
of Water Supply, M let the contracts for
this gigantic work before he Ml that of
fice to become Slate Kn^ineer. He believes.
it is said, that the haste to put IMS thing
through may have been responsible for cer
tain clauses in the contract forms which
he considers? decidedly unfavorable to the
city. The amount of the bonds required
was so high, it if stated, that only a ■«'
contractors could have entered into the
competitive bidding-
It Isj likely that UK entire contract
forms will be redrawn and the specifica
tions gone over by a committee of en
gineers of th» Board of Estimate before
bids are asked for again. It cannot possi
bly be done before the end of the year.
Mr. Bensel, who has always taken great
pride in the immensity of the work of
which be was the head, started immediate
ly after the Rochester convention to hurry
the approval of the deep pressure tunnel
along as much as possible. Joseph Hang;
secretary of the Board of Estimate, was
a*ked to place the -subject on the calendar
as so<->t> as possible, and the scheme WSBI
finally approved by that body.
Til*" advertisements were placed In (he
papers last Saturday before. tli« contract
forms had been approved by the Corpora
tion Counsel. The specifications bad not
been prepared and could not be obtained by
several contractors who applied for them,
it is said. But if the contracts were to be
awarded by the RenseT administration of
the Water Board the advertisements had
to be started last Saturday. Tt was an
nounced that the bids would be opened on
December 24. -> v.'
