ILLEGAL WIRES TAKEN DOWN
Inspector Allen Removes Those Strung
Across D Street Northwest.
The Omcers Make the Discovery That
an Excavation Was Made
Without Authority.

The illegal overhead wires said to have
been strung by the Potomac Electric Power
Company across D street near North Capt.
tol street came flying down this morning
shortly after II o'clock. Inspector Allen
of the street lighting service, supported by
three policemen and two firemen with a
long exclusion ladder, visited the location
this morning and in the name of the Dis
trict cut down the wires, no one protesting.
The work was short and thorough.
Made a Discovery.
While Inspector Allen was on the roof
of the brewery cutting the wires he made
a startling discovery and unearthed some
thing which will result in an investigation
and put the officers Of the sixth precinct
in the unpleasant position Of explaining
certain shortcomings on their part. He
found that, contrary. to general belief, the
wires did not supply the brewery with
power, but simply ran over it's house and
then down the side to connect with an un-
derground conduit, which had been laid
right behind the police station without a
permit, Inspector Allen says, across two
2O-foot alleys, to supply power to the big
n.ill of George A. Meyers & Co., 1926 New
Jersey avenue. This could hardly be be-
iieved by the inspector, and he surmised
that the work was done in the night But
daytime, so a boy named Noonan stated,
and he pointed out to the inspector the
course of the conduit He said he could
not remember the day the work was done.
but was positive it was between and i
o'clock in the afternoon.
Lieut.. Kelly Surprised.
Lieutenant Kelly, in charge of the pre-
cinct, said to a Star reporter that he did
not see how the excavation escaped the
police The blacksmith who occupies the
alley said the work was done in the night,
but this was disputed by the Noonan boy,
who said big gang of workmen had hus-
tied it through in an afternoon. The lieu
tenant said he had sworn out warrant
against the company for stringing over
head wires. He had looked into the case
himself. and found the wires were the
property Of the Potomac company, and
were intended to supply power for running
the new machinery in the Meyers mill He
did not think they had ever been used.
Engineer Commissioner Black has issued
positive instructions to the lighting depart
ment to pay strict attention to overhead
wires and if any new ones make their ap-
pearance to report them at once.
