LEWIS is SENT TO JAIL
JUDGE AFFORD SAID HE WAS TIRED
OF BEING FOOLED.
He VIII BE Sent to the Grand Jury on
a Charge of Perjury--Other
Court Gases.

John II. Lewis was yesterday sent to jail
by Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court,
under $1,000 bond to await the action of
the grand jury on a charge of perjury.
Lewis is one of the men who gave evil
dence to the grand jury against William
McCauley as being the agent of policy
game. He told the grand jury that he pur-
chased a ticket of McCauley, and in
dictpent was returned against the latter.
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus relied upon Lewis
his prosecuting Witness but when Me-
Cauley was tried in the Criminal Court
yesterday Lewis testified that he had mis-
taken another man for McCauley. This
left the State without any case, and Pros
ecutor Ruckelshaus moved to- dismiss.
Judge Afford instructed the jury to find
Tor the defendant, and then had the bailiff
bring Lewis before him. The judge said
he was tired of having witnesses furnish
information TO the grand jury in gambling
cases and decline to give the necessary
evidence in court. esaid he had cause TO
believe that Lewis had perjured himself
and would place him in jail
Attorneys Wiltsie and Harding, McCau-
ley's counsel. told the Judge he might be
making a mistake, and the reply came
back that he was judge of the court and
would bear the responsibility of his action.
Lewis claimed that mhn named Hamil-
ton, who he infinitely described by the
aid of notes, gave him SIS to secure the
evidence against McCauley and furnish it
to the grand jury. McCauley is said to be
a. "Kissel man. and the charge is made
that Lewis was employed by Lanham K
Ford, who claim to have been driven out
of business by Kissef with the assistance
OF the city police
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus says he will keep
after policy men until some are convicted
and they are eventually driven out of bust

Board Members still Reticent.

The Board of Safety authorized adver-
tisements for bids yesterday for one aerial
truck. two service trucks and one combina-
ton chemical and truck, to be opened on
March IL.
Efforts to secure information from the
members of the board concerning the fire
alarm question were futile. Mr.. McMillen
and Mr.. Mahoney said they had agreed
that Chairman Hyde should give out all
the information, and the chairman said he
knew nothing that would be of interest to
the public. He said the board hoped TO ar
rive at some conclusion in the matter this
week.
Acting Mayor Johnson said he would not
be in favor of the Board Of Safety expend-
ing $4,000 to simply repair the present sys-
tenn, as he thought IL could be done for a
great deal less. He said If the board con-
templated repairing the system a competent
electrical engineer that is not in the en-
ploy of the Gamewell or any other COM
pany should be secured to do the work He
said no one in the present employ of the
city was capable of undertaking such work
