The build ing la the opinion of the District Attorney's experts did not fall from natural and unavoidable cauara. Tha American Theater was to be one of the "movie" houaes of the Bora, to cost dollars and planned to seat 1.72 persons.

It wss In the course of construction when it fell. Seven workmen were killed In tha crash and their mangled bodiea picked later from the Jumble of ruins. consisting mainly of heavy masses ot concrete and twisted steel girders. Sylvester Koatentlial. 47 years old.

Of 1381 Pacific at. and Samuel Moero-wits. 29. of 699 Putnam ave- tha Ken- era contractors and owners, are held under ball on charges of criminal negligence. District Attorney Lewis has had five exiierts working under his direction to fathom the cause of the crash.

He has examined more than a hundred witnesses. The task of theoretically reconstructing the huge building so as to determine as closely as possible the condition it was in an Instant before the collapse came was not an easy one. One of the problems the experts had to face was to determine whether a given condition preceded or followed the fall. One of them expressed this annculty to the District Attorney by comparing the examination of the collapsed building to the discovery of a man lying on the sidewalk with a broken bottle alongside of him from which the contents were running. "We are called on to decide," he declared, "whether the bottle was dropped and was broken before the man fell or whether it was broken when he fell." The experts have apparently done Just this, however.

Moreover they are In practical accord as to how the thing happened. MANIAC MURDERS DOCTOR IN OFFICE Slayer of Saranac Lake Physician Is Jailed. Saranac Lake, N. Dec. 24 Dr.

Robert Patterson, 45, one of the lead ing physicians here, was sHot and almost instantly killed in his office late today. Grant B. Johnson, who admitted the shooting, according to the police, was captured only after a struggle and after he had fired at several other persons. The police said that Johnson, apparently demented, entered Dr. Patterson's office and opened fire immediately.

Three shots were fired, all taking effect. The doctor died almost instantly. Leaving the house, Johnson fired at a neighbor of the doctor, who was coming from his home across the street. The man, uninjured, returned to his home and telephoned for the police. JohnsOn fired at the first officer who arrived at the scene and the policeman returned the fire, but neither shot took effect and Johnson was overcome by a railroad man, who grappled with him.

and by police officers. After his arrest Johnson, the police said, expressed regret at having fired at the officer, but said that he had been waiting a long time to "get the docton" No motive for his action could be learned. Six "Miracle Men" Jailed in Russia Priest of Orthodox Church De-frauded Parishioners by Renovating Old Ikons. Voronezh, Russia, Dec. 24 Six "miracle men" have come to grief in this province and are now serving six months at hard labor for fraud.

The men, all priests of the Russian Orthodox Church, were convicted of defrauding parishioners by having old ikons renovated und representing that they were renewed by miracle, consequently possessed divine powers. The priests were tried at a sensational hearing in the opera house, tvhich lasted more than a week. Archbishop Tikon was one of the witnesses, and declared tjiat ikons could not be renewed by miracle. It Is the practice of priests in Russia to rent out ikons which, are supposed to special powers. T.iese are frequently carried Into sick root.is, and to funerals, weddings and christenings.

RUSSIAlljWYFJr 10 MILLION IN GOLD FOR FAMINE RELIEF Soviet Heeds Hoover's Warning.

Food and Seed to Be Bought in U.S. (Vy the Associated Press.) London, December 24 As a result of negotiations here between repre-aentatives of the American Relief Administration and Leonid Krassin, Russian Soviet trade representative, the Soviet C.overnment has agreed to turn over to the relief organization in gold to be used by the administration for the liurchase of foodstuffs and seed In America for relief in the Volga famine area. According to the agreement the Soviet Government will distribute the food purchased with the gold thus provided, but the relief association Is to retain sufficient control to insure that these supplies actually go to famine relief in the Volga district. The $10,000,000 which is to be obtained from the Soviet Government is estimated here to be all that is left of the gold the Soviet obtained from the imperial treasury. Result Ho'ivcr's Message.

The promise of Russian financial co-operation in the relief was obtained, according to Walter Lyman Brown, as a result of Herbert Hoover's message to Mr. Brown, the European director of the relief administration, received a few days ago, asking him I afrain to ike up with the Soviet au thorities Hoover's recent statement that American charity could be i expected to continue only if every i Htnultuncous efl'oit possible was made by the Soviet Government to procure food abroad to the utmost extent of its resources. Mr. Hoover urged the Russians to spend the remainder of the imperial gold in the famine districts, parallel ing the American relief effort. He alao laid emphasis upon the assertion that public opinion in America would necessarily, In the naiunc of thints.

put restrictions upon the use of a con-i gressional appropriation unless the Soviet was willing to co-operate. Mr. Brown put ths proposition to M. Krassin, who today replied that the Moscow authorities had agreed to the principle of co-operative relief as had been outlined by Mr. Hoover.

According to Mr. Brown the foodstuffs available under the congressional appropriations will be d's-tributed along the lines of the plan now in operation for the feeding of the Russian children, the Moscow Government bearing the costs of transportation, storage und distribution within Russia.

C.t. ACTING CONTROLLER SIGNS CITY BUDGET; COURT IS DEFIED Estimate Board and Corporation Counsel May Be Declared in Contempt Acting Controller Henry Fmlta signed thr I J50.o0u.00S budget yesterday. The Mayor and the City Clerk having affixed their sitmatura to tha document on Friday, the budget for thereby became a legal budget In bo far as the provisions of tha Charter sre concerned. On the other hand, there Is a court order outstanding Issued by the Appellate Division, directing the Jlaor aiid the Board of Estimate to Insert In tha budget an appropriation of for the city rmployeea pension fund, left out so as to bring the budget total within the 2 percent constitutional tax limit No attention has been paid to this order by the city authorities. Situation Badly Muddled.

This muddles the situation to such an extent that nobody can tell whether any appropriation made by the Board of Estimate for the coming year can be drawn upon by department heads and county officials until the Court of Appeals has settled the question whether the budget Is legal from that tribunal's point of view. It Is possible that the Court of Appeals will throw out the notice of the city's appeal from the decision of the Appellate Division. Counsel for tho United Real Estato Owners Associa tion asserts that inasmuch as the Ap pellate Division decision was unanimous, the consent of the court for an uppeal must ba obtained. As the matter stands now, according- to experienced lawyers, the budget is Illegal, first because it exceeds the constitutional tax limit, even without the $3,000,000 pension appropriation, and, secondly, it has been confirmed by the Mayor and the Controller in defiance of the order of the Appellate Division that the $3,000,000 pension fund Item must be inserted not later than Dec. 25.

Motion on Tuesday to Declare Officials in Contempt. A motion will be made Tuesday in the Court of Appeals to dismiss the city's appeal because it has been taken without the permission of the Appellate Division, and in the latter court a motion will be made to puni3h the members of the Board of Estimate and the Corporation Counsel for con tempt of court. It is understood that the city officials will offer the defense of "non possumus" that is, that they were put in a position where they could not obey the court's order without trans-Kressing the law, which says that th tax levy shall not exceed 2 percent ot the total assessed valuation of prop, erty in the city, and that the total ol the 1922 budget would have been in excess of the constitutional tax limit had the $3,000,000 pension fund item been inserted as directed by the court. Craig Mav Refuse Payments. There is no doubt that city affairs are in worse muddle than they have ever been before.

It is believed that Controller CraiK will refuse to pay out any of the budget until the Court of Appeals has passed on the legality of the budget. A decision by the court in this matter will probably not he handed down before February. There, are funds enough in hand to run the city until about Jan. 15. After that there will be no pay for city employees until the budget controversy is settled definitely.

Although Controller Craig evaded the signing of the budget by going' to Canada on a hunting trip and letting Acting Controller Smith do it, he cannot escape contempt of court, if such a sentence should be passed upon the members of the Board of Estimate by the Appellate (Division, for the court order in connection with the $3,000 -000 pension fund item wa3 served upon him personally at his home he-fore he could get away. Fine Legal Points Involved. The most puzzling of the legal questions involved is whether the Court of Appeals will order the Item inserted in the budget if the Corporation Counsel proves to the satisfaction of the Court that by doing to the Board of Estimate would clearly violate the constitutional tax limitation provision. Mayor Hylan has said that the elimination of this $3,000,000 pension fund money from the 1922 budget did not mean that city employees entitled to pensions would not be paid. This plan is to raise that amount through an issue of special revenue bonds.

But the city cannot raise money in that way for tho purpose stated except by special permission of tho Legislature.

I. PHONE 101 tl Baa SCODDER REVERSED IN C.B.L SUITS; NEW TRIALS ARE ORDERED Judgments Awarding Maximum Amount of Insurance to Widows Set Aside by Appellate Division The Judrmenla awarded laat February by Justice Scudder in the Supreme Court requiring the Catholic Benevolent Legion to pay to the widows and descendants of Its Insured members the maximum amount of Insurance called for In their respective benefit certificates, were set aside ystsrdsy by the Appellate, Division and new trials were allowed, which, under the new ruling, may result In favor of the Legion. The point of the Appellata Division decision was that the Legion had never guaranteed to pay the maximum amount named In the respective certificates, but had limited Itself to a promise to pay a sum "not exceeding" the amount named therein. And besides it was held that the evidence before Justice Scudder did not warrant any finding that the Legion or its officers In the Supreme Council had been guilty of fraud or deceit. The judgments now reversed were obtained by Mrs.

Rose T. Donaldson of 174 8th widow of John H. Donaldson, who had death benefit Insurance as a member of the Catholic Benevolent Legion and was in the $2,000 class. Mr. Donaldson had been president of a local council and after his death the treasurer of it gave his widow a check for $1,074, which was even $400 less than the deceased paid in premiums during his lifetime to the C.

B. L. The Misses Mary and Margaret McGovern, daughters of Edward McGovern, who was a $1,000 member, were paid $459, and they, like Mrs. Donaldson, signed a "compromise agreement" to the effect that the lesser sum was in settlement of their claim for insurance. The parties testified that they were told that "nobody ever won a law suit against the Legion," but they Sued, nevertheless.

When "Jiustlco Scudder awarded them Judgments he severely criticised the officers of the Supreme Council ol the Lecion and said they had been guilty of unfair dealing as trustees of the benefit fund. The Appellate Division, however, held that the claimants were not legully entitled to the maximum amounts named In the benefit certificates, or policies, because of the "not exceeding" clause. Because of the state of the organization's finances, the partial payments were made to the various claimants, dens having been declared against the outstanding policies for the purpose of creating a reserve Hen, and there was considerable ltiigation over that phase of the Supreme Council's conduct. Tho Appellate Division also awarded costs cf the actions to the Legion pending the result of the new trials, If they are prosecuted, which means that if the second trial results favorably to the Legion the claimants or their-lawyers must bear the costs of the litigation. Other actions similar to those of Mrs.

Donaldson and the Misses McGovern, prosecuted in Manhattan, were finally decided In the Court of Appeals, last June, in favor of the claimants and against the Supreme Council of the C. B. L. The claimants who won In the Court of Appeals wero paid not only what they sued for but their court costs as well. In 1919 the Manhattan Appellate Division had held that the Lejjlon must pay its policies for, the full amount, instead of the 65 percent offered.

The headquarters of the Catholic Benevolent Legion are at 186 Bern-sen st. JAMES D. RUSHMORE DIES; OLD L. I. R.
