NEW YORK, April 1.—Three fire de- partment officials and the owner of a Maiden lane building in which siX persons lost their lives in a fire Janu- ary 20, 1920, were indicted for man- slaughter in the first and second de- grees by the January ~additional grand jury which is hearing evidence in former Gov. Whitman's investiga- tion of municipal gorruption. Those named in the indictments handed up to Judge Thomas C. T. Crain in_general sessions were Dr. William F. Doyle, chief of the bureau of fire preventidn; Thomas F. Lantry, secretary of the board of review of the fire department; Deputy Chief William H. Swartwout, who is as- signed to Dr. Doyle's bureau, and Robert A. Powers, owner of the build- ing in which the deaths occurred. Powers was released in the custody of his attorney. The other three were held in $5,000 bail each, which was furnished. .

H., April 1.—Footprints, 130 years old, of an Hawaiian army that fled from the wrath of Pele, goddess of the active volcano of Kilauea, near here, are be- lieved to have been discovered in the Kau desert, south of the great crater, Prof. T. A. Jagger, jr., in charge of the volcano observatory. Dr. Jagger and his party were exploring a region far ‘removed from any of the known modern trails when they came upon an area thickly covered with the im- print of naked feet, all pointing in the one direction, all deep at the toes and light at the heels, indicating that the makers of the tracks had been running at top speed. The tracks originaily had been made in volcanic ash, which is strongly im- pregnated with sulphurous acid and gypsum, and which when wet by rain, settles into a hard concrete, thus ex- plaining the preservation of the im- prints for a period believed to have tretched over more than a century and a quarter. Hawaiian legend and history provide the other side of the story, the connec- COURT RESERVES RULING IN GOULD DIVORCE CASE Counsel Given Until Monday to Pile Memoranda on Motion to Dismiss Wife’s Plea. NEW _YORK, April 1.—Supreme Court Justice Mullan reserved de- cision today, after listening to argu- ments on the motion by counsel for k Jay Gould to dismiss the di- vorce action against Mr. Gould in- stituted here a year ago by BEdith {elley Gould, former actress. Coun- el for both sides were granted until Monday to flle memoranda bearing on the new motion. Samuel Seabury, representing the defendant, told the court of diffi- culties between Mr. and Mrs. Gould which culminated in Mr. Gould ob- taining a divorce in France late in 1919. He contended that the pres- ent suit was not legal, as the French decree was binding and the present action nul and vold. Justice Mullan, commenting on the case, said he did not intend to pass “snap justice” on the motion, but it was his impression that it would b a “stupendous stultification of jus. tice to allow one litigant to appear in one jurisdiction and, when beaten there, to appear in another.” Roderick Wellan, representing Mrs. Gould, argued that the French courts were without jurisdiction to pass upon a suit for divorce involving two persons whose domicile is in New York. —_— RELIEF FOR AUSTRIA.

German Radical, Fatally Shot by Policeman. BERLIN, April 1—Wilhelm Sylt, known as “the uncrowned king of the Berlin proletariat,” died this morn- ing as a result of & bullet wound re- ceived yesterday after he struck a policeman, who arrested him on sus- picion that he was planning a general strike. The electrical workers attempted to call a strike as soon as news of his death became known, but the strike was voted down by an overwhelming majority. Sylt was formerly a Berlin city offictal and was extremely radical. —_— Sylt, Sore Throats. - ® n: hh‘n J(fll'lb le'd’:;:lna soothes a;;d eals inflamed breathing passages.

This year also recorded the last explosive erup- tion of Kilauea volcano. Hawaiian legend records the fact that some of Keoua's warriors rolled stones into Kilauea crater to mark their disre- spect for the ‘goddess of the molten, lake. ~Whatever the reason.for the outburst, Pele rose in her wrath, and, with a terrific explosive eruption, to- tally wiped out the second division of Keoua's army. The footprints found in the Kau'des- sert are believed to be those of men of the first division, who, seeing the destruction of their comrades in the rear, fled from the locality. The third division coming up, saw the bodies of the annihilated second and halted. The area where the footprints were discovered is part of the new Kilauea national park, which will be dedicated this year, and steps already have been taken to inclose the tracks and pre- serve them.
