An Evening World' reporter who
talked with the inventor to-day found
him at Atlantic Park busy getting ready
for the test.
Leonard is a modest man. and II was
with little difficulty that he was induced
to talk about his invention. He Is a slim
man. weighing probably 1870 pounds, with
a chest much fuller than Is usually seen
or men of his weight. He has blu-gray
eyes, which look at one very sharply,
and a high intellectual forehead.

MAY INDICT HALKET.
Hotel Majestic strike Likely to
Reach the Courts.

There appears to be no immediate
prospect of settlement OF the strike
OF the workmen employed on the new
Hotel Majestic. now being erected on
the corner Of Eighth avenue and
Seventy-second street. All the men
have gone out with the exception Of
the freestone cutters and one brick
layer
According to some Of the men the
strike was declared by the Board OF
Walking Delegates. to sustain the de-
mands OF exWalking Delegate Halket
1t appears that the men were work
Ing for less than the regular scale Of
wages. Halket, the men say, heard of
this. and demanded $500, coupling his
demand with threat that If 1t was
not complied with he would see that a
strike was ordered.
His demand was refused and the
strike followed.
II seems to be the general opinion
that the matter will have to be settled
in court

AGAINST II" ROAD.
Property Owner Maitland Wants
an Injunction.
Says the Third Track Will Damage
Ris Property.
First Citizen to Oppose the Scheme
in the Courts.

Judge Rischon. OF the Court OF Com
mon Pleas. to-day heard arguments
upon the motion of Charles q. Bennett
counsel for Thomas A. Maitland. for an
injunction restraining the Manhattan
Elevated Railroad Company from build
ing a third track upon its ninth avenue
branch
Similar motions have before been
made In behalf OF the city, but this Ia
the first motion made IN the courts In
this direction by an abutting property
owner.
Upon the first motion of the counsel
for the city an injunction was issued
The injunction was subsequently modi-
fed allowing the road to build the third
track, as 1t was shown that the Com
pany had the consent OF the new Rapid
Transit Commission.
Mr.. Maitland, the plaintiff in this ac-
ton. owns a large amount Of real estate
upon Ninth avenue, between Twenty
fourth and Thrtieth streets. and Is the
lessee OF a large number OF other house
In that neighborhood.
The plaintiff brought number OF
suits against the Manhattan Company
for damages to his property. He secured
Judgments in the lower courts, which
were afterwards confirmed by the Court
of Appeals.
lie alleges that his Judgments were
based upon the supposition that the
Elevated road was to continue to oper-
ate the road as at present.
His counsel contended that the running
Of expires. trains on the third track VIII
lend t. further darken the houses he
owns and lenses. and also to exclude
the air from them, and by reason u the
dust and smoke render the houses un-
wholesome.
Counsel for the Elevated Company OPP
posed the motion on the ground that the
Supreme Court had already given Its
consent to the third track, and that Mr..
Maltland's property would be injured in
no way by the additional track.
Judge BlsChoN reserved decision.
