asking that they ascertain tbo sub-contractors'
method of handling and storing ex
plosive. District" Attorney Jerome vis
ited tho. scons and. made an .Investigation
to guide him. In the ofllelal Inquiry, and pos
sible prosecution, ilbat 'will follow.
Employ -Arrested.
Ira A. fihalcr, engineer In charge of tho
work at Park aVcnuo) John Bracken, a
forcmart, and Martin McOrath, an assistant
foreman, wero placel under arrwt, charged
with homicide. William Barclay Parsons,
ohlef engineer of tho rapid transit commis
sion, said that Bhaler whs ono of tho most
competent and careful engineers ho cvor
knew.
Tho damage may exceed $1,000,000. The
first estimate on tho Murray Hill hotel
placed tho loss at 100,000, but later tho ho
tel was abandoned fin unsdfe. If the build
ing Is condemned tho low on It atone will
approach $1,000,000. Tho damage to tho
Grand, Union was estimated at $40,000 nnd
that to tho Manhattan hospital at $25,00U.
Tho loss at the Grand Central station was
entirely In glass, as was that of tho hun
dred or more other buildings affected by
tho explosion.
No estimate was mado of tho looses sus
tained by the rapid transit contractors.
Moses Epps, a powder man In chargo of
the shanty In which tbo explosion occurred,
Is a tbo Flower hospital, suffering from
conousslon and shock. He said that on going
to tho shanty about noon ho found a candlo
which he- had left lighted on a shelf lying
on the floor a'nd some paper which was
about It was on Arc. Close to this burn
ing paper wero thirteen boxes of dynamite
cartridges, each "box containing from sixty
to seventy-flvo cartridges. Epps throw a
pall of water over tbo fire and ran to get
another ono. On coming back he saw that
tho flames were closo to tho dynamlto, nnd
dropping his pall, he tried to got away.
Then camo tho explosion nnd tho noxt ho
knew ho was a patient In tho hospital.
This evening Epps was practically a pris
oner, a policeman having been assigned to
guard' hlui. In addition to those mentioned
as under arrest, Andrew Murray was to
night locked up at a police station, although
no charge was mado 'against him. Murray
had charge of the pasting out of sticks of
dynamlto to tho men In the tunnel. Ho said
tliere'wero. nbotit twonty sticks of dynamite
In tho shanty when tho explosion occurred.
G'lnsh In Courtroom.
.Thero was a clash In court this nfternoon
betweon District Attorney Joromo nnd Cor
oner Goldenkranz, resulting in the former
being struck In tho faco by a clerk.
Jcromo was In his oinco examining
Shapor, Uracken and McOrath, tho men
UDder arrest, when a policeman assigned to
tho coronor's officer and under tho coroner's
Instructions, demanded that tho prisoners
appear boforo that offlcor. Mr. Joromo al
lowed them to go, but ho and his assistants
followed. In splto of protests tho coroner
gave releaso to tbo jurymon, who returned
a, verdict' recommending tho dlscbnrgo of
the prisoners. The coroner then opened
court as a sitting magistrate, had the men
ro-arrcsted and held thepi without ball.
Moro protests came from, Mr. Jcromo and
the coroner changed his. decision, holding
tho men In $10,000 each.-
,AI1 this had worked up, tho feelings of
everybody so much that there was a free
fight. Mr. Joromo received 'a blow In tho
face from a coroner's clerk, who In turn
was beaten by two of tho district attorney's
detectives.
The dctoctlvcs and tho clerk had each
other arrested, but better counsol prevailed.
Lata tonight Investigation of tbo damago
dono to tho Murray Hill hotol was com
pleted and It showed a remarkable condition
of affairs. Two-thirds of tho big hostolry
cannot be used until repairs have boon
mado and the northeast corner Is closed
entirely. Proprietor Jacques places the
loss ln'glass alone at $75;000. Every win
dow In tho hotel was shattered and the
window frames torn from their fastenings
and blown Into tho rooms.
, Immediately after tho explosion tho big
corridor was turned luto a temporary hos
pital. Blood dripping from scores of
wounded persons stained tho marble tiling,
while the doctors worked to allevtato suf
fering. Tho body of Mr. Ilobertson of Nel
son, 11. C, was found In parlor N, where
ho had been crushed to death by timbers
hurled through tho window. He had made
a special roquest for tho room In which he
mil his death and was assigned to It Fri
day, Adam Wrencck, sccrotnry of tho
American Legion of Honor, who was also
stopping at tho hotel, had refused to tako
the room desired by Mr. Robertson.
Tho doctors and nursos In- tho Manhattan
Eye and Ear Infirmary had boen cut by
flying glass, but of tho sixty-two patients
only a few suffered Injury and their wounds
wero trifling.
Flno residences on Park avenue tonight
Bhaw the force of tho explosion. Tho house
of Charles Parsons, president of tho Rome,
Watertown & Ogdonsburg railroad, had all
the,- windows broken, tho doors displaced
and valuablo brlc-a-brao blown to pleoes.
The house most damaged Is that of Wll
Jim H. Payne, which was nearest to tho
sceno of tho explosion. Mr. Payne esti
mates his loss at $20,000.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27. Dn Harry Ji Zlegler
of 316 West King street, Lancaster, ,Pa.,
fatally wounded his wife, Anna, and then
killed, himself this afternoon at tho Well
ington hotel. A noto left by tho physician
declared that ho and his wife had decided
to die and that, as he lacked tho nerve,
Mrs. Zclglcr had promised to commit tho
act.
Tho woman, before being removed to
tho Samaritan hospital In a dying con
dition, declared that tho shooting was
done by her husband.
Tho physician and his wife arrived at the
Wellington hotel this afternoon and wero
assigned to a room. Tho two woro young
and apparently happy. They retired to
their room and about 3 o'clock a call camo
to tho clerk's office.
When tho bollboy arrived at tho room, he
found tho woman tugging at tho door. Mood
was flowing from a wound In the back ot
her head. ,
"Oh, my husband has shot himself," ehu
cried, forgetting In her fear for hint tho
pain ot her own wound.
Takes Her Out of rtonm.
Tho bellboy took her out Into tho. hall
way, saying that her husband might kill
her, and sho let hlra lead her away from
tho. room. Then he hastened to tho office
of Dr. B. L. Rlfisc, tho house physician.
When tho latter arrived tho husband was
dead and tho wife was barely conscious.
A noto addressed to a .morning newspaper
was found In the room. It read:
"My photo belongs to your paper. Wo
decided to die, but I lack the ivorvo to
shoot, so my wife, Annie, will do It. Send
my body homo to 310 West King street,
Lancaster. Goodby."-
Mrs. Zlegler was conscious for some, time
after tho arrival of Dr. hleso.' Sho con
firmed tbo contents ot the noto which
showed that tho husband lacked at first,
the determination to carry out their plans.
Put sho too, failed, and eventually, alio
says, her husband shot her and then think
ing that she was dead, turned tho weapon
upon himself. Mrs. Zlegler was removed
to tho Samaritan hospital, whero It was
said that sho cannot live.
Mrs. Zlcgler's father la Samuel P. Adams
of this city, who Id said to bo wealthy.
MnrrlnKO Kept Secret.
i
When Zlegler camo to Chicago In October
ho answered an advertisement for an at
tendant, and was engaged to care for Mr.
Adnins, who Is a retired paint dealer. Annu
Adams and Zlegler becamo attached to
each other, much to tho displeasure, It Is
Bald, of tho girl's mother, sister anil
brother. In tho latter part ot November
Zlegler secured a marriage license and was
married to tho Adams girl In a Baptist
church in Woodlawh. Tho Invalid father,
accompanied the couplo to the. church.
No others of the Adams family appear
to liavo heard ot the marrlago until re
cently, and when they did, Zlegler was
told that he would have to leave tho house,
Zlegler went to St. Louis and, In his ab
sence, bo Is said to havo mado endeavor
to secure a divorce from tbo woman he hod
married In Lancaster.
First Wlfe'n Comment.
LANCASTER. Pa., Jan. 27. Harry J.
Zlegler, who fatally shot a woman purport
ing to bo his wife, and then committed
suicide at Chicago today, was a native ot
this city and lived here,, until thrco years
ago. Ho was 26 years -old And a son of
William J. Zlegler, "station master ot the
Philadelphia & .Heading Jla'llroad company.
Young Zlegler served a tcin on' the school
ship Saratoga and;' threo s , years ugo
enlisted tn tho - regular r army and
was sent to the 'ThUlpplne's. Tho
last heard from - him "was a year
ago when his frtlhcr received"- a let
ter dated "Luzon," In Which ho 'said ho'
had entered the hospital service, a circum
stance which accounts for'' his "lit lo ot
"doctor." '
Zlegler was married about five years
ago to Miss Harriet Baker ot this city,
who is now at her home here, and from
whom ho had not been divorced. When'
seen tonight Mrs. Zlegler said she had
last heard from her husband in Novem
ber, and then be wrote her he would never
return to Lancaster. Snce then she had
learned that he bad, been married.
"I don't pity hlmi" she said, "but I
feel sorry for the girl."
MERGER IN THE COURT
(Continued from Plret Page.)
by It by virtue of such stockholding must
do in narmony wnn ana not in violation
of the laws of tho state of Minnesota. The
Northern Securities company can exercise
no power by reason of the stockholding,
nnr nnv miiniuremvnt ar enntrol over tho
Great Northern and. Northern Pacific rail
way companies which Is In violation of or
which tends to contravene tho laws of the
state- or Minnesota, The stockholders of a
corporation m well as tho corporation Itself
can penorm no ncis ana mane, no con
tracts cither within or without tho stato
creating such corporation, except such as
are authorlted by Its charter or some gen-,
oral law of the state rotating to It. It fol
lows as a necessary corollary that a cor
poration, us wen ns its etocKnoiacrs, can
ntrform nn net nr mukn anv contract or
agreement which violates a remedial stat
ute or a stato creating sucn corporation.
It will lit noticed tnat tno stato ot .Min
nesota 'prohibits not only the consolidation
of tho property and railway lines of com
peting companies, but it also prohibits the
consolidation ot tho stock of such rail
way companies in any way wnatovor,
Plan of Consolidation, .
The situation can thus bo summarized:
Tho holders of a largo majority of the
capital stock of two railroad corporations
authorized to construct nnd maintain lines
within the limits of the state ot Minne
sota havo organized a corporation In an
other stato for tho oxprees purpose ot con
solidating the railway lines and property
of such companies and evading and vio
lating one or ui laws 01 tno wtuie 01
Minnesota, wnlcn Dears directly upon and
gives the state and Its citizens, certain
rights and privileges In connection with the
property owneu ana conirou oy, me run
roads thus sought to be consolidated.
The only way In which the stato can
reach such an evasion of Its laws and
enforce its rights Is to bring an action
In this court against . the instrument or
means uy wnicn sucn consounaiion is
Ronuht tn bn nceomrillshed. If the stato
of Minnesota cannot avail Itself ot the or
iginal jurisaiction ot tins court 10 eniorco
lis right. It cannot go Into tho state of
New Jersey and ask the courts of that
state to enforce Its right, becauno tho
same reasons urged against the Jurisdiction
of this court could' bo urged with equal
force before tho courts of wow Jersey.-
HHplenaneia of Ii,v;
If what Is attempted. 'to bu done hero
can be successfully accomplished tho states
of thlB union are nowcrlcsii to enforce such
statutes. The national government, under
us present constitutional limitations, can
enact no legislation which will protect
stato commerce and state tratllc against
suqh a monopolistic conMtdatlon as Is re
ferred to In this "bill. The tmly practical
way the state can protect Itself Is by the
adoption of legislation' of the character
ought to hi enforced in this action, and
the only tribunal In which that can bo en
forced under the circumstances disclosed
In this bill Is the one In which we now
appeal. It seems to us that there Is u con
troversy between the state of Minnesota
and the defendant corporation a citizen
of the state of New Jersoy which, under
to.
entitles the . stnto. of Minnesota to
tho
prlvllego of tho Jurisdiction ot thin court;
In fact, this Is tho only judicial tribunal
n which tho stnto of
Minnesota can well
assert Its claim nnd present Its contro
versy against tho defendant.
When the court reconvened It took the ap
plication under advisement.

REDUCTION OF THE WAR TAX
Advucnteil liy Some Tea anil Ileer In
terests nnd Opposed liy
Otliers.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. Tho ways and
means committee today temporarily 'laid
aside tho subject of Cuban reciprocity and
entered upon tho question of reducing the
war revenuo taxos. During the morning
the tea Intdrests wero heard on tho prop
osition .to take offi the tax of 10 cents a
pound on tea Imposed hy tho Spanish war
revenuo act. This afternoon was set asldo
for tho bcor Intorests.
The tea Interests. were numerously rep
resented, Somo, ot those present opposed
the proposed condition and Chairman Payne
divided the time so that both sides might
be heard. Albert P. Sloan of New York,
president of the National Tea Duty Ropeal
association, mado tho opening statement.
He summed up tho appeal for reduction as
follows;
1. The duty Is an exccsslvo hardship upon
tho four classes of people interested con
sumer, retailer, wholesale grocer and tea
Importer.
2. Tho duty Is Injuring permanently tho
quality of tea Nio)d and consumed.
3. The poorer classes pay the tax In full
and tho better classes uro gradually being
deprived of tho best tea.
. 4. As tho tea duty Is a war tax, It should
be removed, now that the war Is over and
there Is a surplus In the treasury,
6. As tho country Is already heavily
taxed upon the principle of protection, It
should not be doubly taxed upon an nrtlclo
which demands no protection.
The opposition to the proposed reduc
tion was opened by W. J. Buckflold, a tea
Importer ot Now York, He said tho 10-ccnt
duty had operated beneficially In keeping
out tho poor grades ot tea, Including tho
Japan tea dusts, which had been mixed
with other teas. This gave the country
hotter qualities of tea and eventually an
Improvement In quality would lead to In
creased consumption of tea. He stated that
tha price of tea would advance by a re
moval ot the duty, and ho said prices al
ready had advanced In the expectation that
the tax would be removed.
At tho afternoon session the beer people
wero represented by officials of their organizations.

Weather .Predicted.
Tho map Issued by the weather bureau yes
terday morning showod In a marked way the
difference In tho cllmato ot different parts
o( tho country, . It also showed tho
Idiosyncrasies ot tbo prevailing storm. The
first was illustrated by the reports of cur
rent temperature mado at 7 yesterday
morning at different stations of tho service
At Winnipeg tho mercury stood at 26 de
grees below zero, at New Orleans It was 6t
degrees above, or n difference of 90 degrees.
Tho mark ot tbo storm was shown by tho
reports from Galveston and Now Orleans,
practically In the same latitude, Tho tem
peraturo at the Texas point was 32 degrees
above zero, 32 degrees lower than at tho
Crescent City.
Valentino, Neb., showed the coldest
weather of any' station In tho state, with
a minimum for tba last twenty-four hours
ot 20 below zero, tho same as the Winnipeg
current, but tho latter city broke all records
for tho present year with Its minimum ot
30 degrocs below.
It is probablo that tho worst of the pres
ent cold wavo has passed, as tbo crest of
tho area of high barometer passed over
Omaha Sunday night and Is now central
over Kansas City and Dcb Moines on Its way
to tho coast. On tbo Atlantic coast tho
weather Is disagreeable, but not cold. It
was raining at Philadelphia at the time
of tho observation Monday morning, with a
tom'peraturo In the tOs,
Coldest Hour In t)mnhs.
Tho coldest time during the present
visitation at Omaha was shortly before S
yesterday morning, when the mercury
dropped to 12 degrees below zero and thon
immediately started up slowly.
There was little precipitation In tho west
or northwest during tho last twenty-four
hours and fair weather, with continued
cold, Is predicted for this vicinity. Thero
will bo an upward tendency to the ther
mometer, but with tho existing degroe of
frigidity tho word warmor, as applied to
probabilities of tho next twenty-four hours
wtfmld be tantalizing, tn the opinion of tho
forecaster.
