Kings County Prosecutor Feels
That He Has No Jurisdic
.?on in Case.
Intente indignation ivas expressed
'?st night at a meeting of the I'nion
Bank depotitors' committee when the
chairman, J. E. Rohrer, of 410 Feni
snore at, Brooklyn, called to the at?
tention of the committee the fact, ex?
posed by The Tribune, that Bank
Wrecker David A, Sullivan was ac?
corded unusual privil?ge? at Sing Sing. |
The meeting of the depositors' com?
mittee waa held in Room 208, in the
s larendon Hotel, and the chief speaker
was Assistant District Attorney Gold
ttein. of Kings County.
Earlier in the day District Attorney
S'ropss-y had taid to a reporter for The
Tribune that, although he was much
interested in the disclosures of Mr.
Sullivhn's automobile rides, he felt
?ha* he had no jurisdiction over the
matter.
"It is clearly n case *"or the State
Prisons' Department to deal with,"
ssid Mr. Cropsey.
"Certainly, su infringement of the
regulations and rules of that depart?
ment has been committed if Mr. Sulli?
van has been allowed these unusual
privileges, but I do not know that any
crime has been committed.
Cropsey May Demand Proof.
"I feel, however, that I am justified

den McCormick. end, if he does not
prove these ?tories to be false, I have
alto a right to call upon the state au?
thorities to investigate.
Mr. Goldstein, who conducted tne
case of the Union Bank depositors
against Sullivan, was even more em?
phatic at the meeting of the depositors'
?ommittee, which was held to urge
upon the candidates for Assembly and
Senate the necessity for the passage
of the so-called Union Bank bill.
This bill it intended to reimburse
the depositors for their losses in the
bank. As Mr. Goldstein explained, the
I'nion Bank was closed in January,
Iribs and was reopened the following
August, despite the fact that the State
Banking Department realized that trie
bank was undoubtedly insolvent.
"In new of the evidence in the p.it
session of the 6'ate banking authori?

such unusual rights were grunted to

"There thould be no discrimination

any such discrimination has been

office have the right to lay the facts

EAGLE AT POSTOFFICE
Big Bird Steals Pigeon and

A bald-headed eagle, or a hawk,
downtown ornithologists disagreeing
as to the species, paid a visit to th? ?
Woolworth tower vesterday afternoon I
and kept tenants of surrounding build- i

The bird was first seen flying laxily ,
over the Postofie? building. After
cutting half a doren circle?, it swooped
down suddenly anil seized one of the
fat, sophisticated pigeon? that make
the Bostofflce a base of operation. Tho
bird then flew with its quarry to a

DR. SEARS IN CONTEMPT
New Thought Head Fails to
Pay Ex-Wife's Counsel Fee.
Dr. Frans W. Sears, leader of one
faction of the New Thought Church,
whose wife, Dr. Julia Seton Beers,
obtained a du one from him last
spring, was adjudged in contempt of
court yesterday by Justice Blanchard i
for his failure to pay Ins wife $500
as counsel fees.
The trial of the suit, in which the
wife named Miss Pauline 1.angel?n, an
actress and member of the husband'a
faction of the church, produced much
bitterness between supporters of the
two loaders of the New Thought move?
ment. The testimony of Mrs. Sears
was strengthened by thai furnished
by a group of women who had consti
? lag sngels"
?o keep wateh over Dr. Seen.
The next move will be a jail com- i
mitment, unless Dr. Seats pays.

Allen was boring a well on Satur?
day, when he struck quicksand and
sank. All attempts at rescue by lad?

. a foot of Allen's position, and
a man lowered on a rone carefully re?
, the remaining sand and brought
Allen to the surface.
Alien was conscious when rescued,
but very weak. He said he had been
unable to help himself, as his feet
were firmly held by n piece of plank?
ing. A bit and law, which were low?
ered to him this morning, enabled him
to work one of his feet free, but an- '
other cave-in buried the tools and left :
him as helpless as before.
An improvised diver's helmet made

Mr. Willard salt! the dividend h

by the fact that the road had $3
