FIRE. CHIEF MAY BE WITNESS
Said That Summons Will be Issued fop
Him to Testify When Cases Come
Up for Hearing-Report Made
to Police Committee That
Department is Doing
Its Full Duty.

Officer William J. Wyatt. Jr., has
two or three days from active duty. in
which to gather additional evidence in
the gambling cases. which are to come
up in the Police Court on September
1lth. and which the officer is prosecuting
practically without any assistance from
the other members of the department.
While Officer Wyatt simply says he is
anxious to investigate every minute
piece of evidence he gets hold of be-
fore going into trial with the case, ie
has been learned that his object in ask
ing for the leave of absence from active
duty is for the purpose of tracing the
paraphernalia alleged to have been used
in the houses referred to as being con-
ducted for gambling purposes by Pell-
grini, Lyons, Jordon, Phelps and Gath
right.
PARAPHERNALIA LOCATED.
1t is known that a day or two after
placing the above, named men under ar
rest Wyatt set about locating the de-
vices he accuses them OF having oper-
ated in connection with the gambling
houses. He has located much of the
paraphernalia, and will be In a posi-
lion TO lay MS nlutS on lt at the proper
time, il he sees fit to bring it int ocourt.
While in his own mind, Wyatt Is con-
yinced as to the ownership of every de-
vice he has located. he is bit shy about
taking it into court for fear of being
unable TO establish the ownership of tbs,
property. and one of his main reasons
for. now asking for the leave is to Sc
cure evidence of such a character as
will establish beyond all doubt the abb
solute ownership of each particular piece
of the paraphernaia.

REFUSED TO GIVE THE NAMES.
Proceedings Instituted Asains. Big
Companies for Alleged Violations
of Sherman Antitrust Law.

New York, Dec. 20.-DanieI ]. NJ.
O'Callaghan. lawyer of this city,
who refuses to give the names of his
clients, instituted proceedings yester-
day against the General Electric com
pany land the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing company, for al
legged violations OF the Sherman anti
trust law. The papers, which, in accord
ance with the provisions of the law,
should have been filed with United
States Attorney General Knox. were
served on United States District At
torney H. L. Burnett. by whom they
will be forwarded to Washington.
The assertion is made in the papers
filed that at different times since the
organization of the General Electric
company the plants and sales rooms
OF all the companies controlled by the
Thomson-Houston company, one Of
the concerns in the General Electric
company, have been closed. though
the corporate existence of the Thorn
son-Houston company has been maia-
tanned. Tho petition further alleges
that on March u, 1896. the General
Electric and Westinghouse companies
entered into written agreement to
limit competition, regulate prices,
make an Interchange of patent Ii.
censes. and divide the territory N
which each could sell goods without
competition from the other. 1t is also
asserted that there is absolutely no
competition today in the sale OF the
articles that constitute a large part
OF the manufactured products of the
two companies.
