NAMED-INBRISTOW'S REPORT-

Attorneys Deem It Imperative THat

Answer to Accusations.
ALBANY, N. T.. Jan. 20. Formal
charges ol tbe Bar-Association of James
town jaga-Inst State Supreme Court Justice
7. B, Hooker, ex-Representative in Con
jjrees, were brought before .the State Bar
Association today.
The dbarges quote the reporfN-of Fourth

reference to appointments and rentals of
postofflce.. buildings, and set forth that M.

report, was appointed Postmaster at Dun
kirk upon Mr. Ho6ker"s recommendation,
and. that Justice Hooker, was and is one of
the owners of the postofflce building at
Dunkirk, alleged to have been the subject
of excessive rental.
The Jamestown Association believes that
the time has arrived when it Js imperative
' Justice Hooker should, in defense of the
character of the bench, which . .it . is his
high, duty to preserve' .untarnished,
make public answer to the accusations
against him.
The Jamestown Association submits its
statement to the State Association, for
whatever action the latter body may see
fix to take.
ANOTHER INSPECTOR AS COACH
Machen's Attorney In Postal Fraud
Will Produce Affidavits.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. In the postal
trial today, the Government gave further
evidence to show .the .relations existing
between Machen, the Groft brothers and
Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz concerning- the sale
of letter-box fasteners' to the Government.
Several witnesses from Cleveland and
Toledo having certain connection with
banking Institutions testified to various
deposits by the Lrorenzs of checks of D. B.
Groff for large aniounts, and to certain
debits made against their individual ac
counts. Captain H. Baumgardner, Machen's
brother-in-law, secretary of the Deposit J
Trust Company, of Westminster, Md., also j
testified as to Machen's deposit with that j
company. -
The subject of the coaching of witnesses
by Postofflce Inspector Mayer again came
up, and Counsel Douglass, for the defense,
said he would include Postofflce Inspector
Gregort in the charge. The master finally
was passed over on the statement of Mr.
Iumler, counsel for the Dorenzs, that he
would procure affidavits to support the
charges. He pffered to produce one such
affidavit today; but District Attorney
Beach objected.
Justice Pritchard Informed counsel on
both sides he would demand that no ex
traneous matter be Introduced to Influence
the Jury,' and It it were he would take .oc
casion to mention it when he delivered his
charge to the Jury. " , ''
Henry C Dockwood. chief clerk of- the
city delivery of the Now York postofflce,
testified. Answering a question by Mr,
Taggart, Mr. Lockwood said that by a
letter dated February 1, 1S96. he was noti
fied that C0O0 Groff fasteners were ordered
supplied to his office without any requi
sition first having been made therefor.
Counsel for the defense objected. Mr.
Taggart stated that his object was to
show Machen was specially energetic In
distributing these, fasteners.
Justice Pritchard announced he would
admit as competent any evidence tending
to show facts In connection with the 'fur
therance of the allegations of the indict
ment. He has, he said, anticipated this
very question, and had given It much
thought. The witness then continued his
testimony after counsel stated they would
argue the point further tomorrow.
Lockwood explained various initials on
the letter by saying they represented those
of officials of the New York postofflce
through whose hands the letters passed.
It developed from further questioning
that the initials "A. W. M." were also
on the letter. On cross-examination, wit
ness said he never saw Machen sign his
initials, and therefore did not knoc
whether they were put there by Machen
or one of Machen's clerks, although his
familiarity with communications from the
department led him to believe It came
from Machen's office.
Counsel then became Involved in another
legal argument, after Mr. Douglass had
again objected to the admission of the
letter because there was no evidence to
show that Machen even saw it or ever dic
tated it. The court held as the Govern
ment, was trying to Identify the initials
as having been made by Machen, and the
witness was not able to positively do so,
he would require the Initials to be proved
before this particular testimony would be
admitted: Tfio witness" was excused,' to
le' cross-examined later.

Inspectors In Bad Light.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20. It is probable that
the City Council next Monday night will
again consider and revise the new the
ater ordinance. A meeting between the
theater managers and a special commit- j-
tee of tbe Aldermen win do ncia later
In the week, at which the managers wJU
announce what is physically possible for
them to accomplish in making their the
aters safe, and at the same time reopen
for the remainder of the theatrical sea
son. Edwin R. Price, manager of "Mr. Blue
Beard," at the Iroquois Inquest today
showed up the work of Chicago building
Inspectors in a bad light compared with
inspectors of other cities.
Manager Price said he frequently has
seen Inspectors examining exits in other
places during the progress of perform
ances, but never at the Iroauols. The
manager's evidence was designed to ex-
oncratc Klaw & Erlanger from ail re
sponsibility for the Are, and to put the
blame on the theater management.
Mr. Price gave his occupation as "man
ager for Klaw & Erlanger." He said
that Mr. Erlanger put on the "Blue
Beard" show and hired the members of
the company.
Asked if he had known where the fire
escapes were, he replied:
"I know where they were because I
saw them before the draperies so much
discussed were nut up. In other cities,"
he said, "we often were annoyed by in
spectors who came around during per
formances to see tnat tne exiis were
open." . ,
were you ever annoyea oy inspectors
In Chicago?"
"No."
Mr. Price described the Are in Cleve
land last October. He denied that sim
ilar conditions existed In Chicago.
David Jones, a mason foreman for the
Fuller Construction Company, was the
star witness . of the afternoon, and he
had a most uncomfortable time of it
while on the stand.
Tones was the man who removed the
skylights from the theater on the day
toUowlng the fire, and in endeavoring to
explain why he did this he tangled hlra
eelf thoroughly and failed to make a
satisfactory explanation.

leader of the Iroquois Memorial Associa
tion, announces he has an offer of the
site of the Iroquois, theater, for the erec

Tbe force, of the explosion, according
