HEALTH OFFICIALS
IGNORE GIBSON,
Declare His Statements Will Not
Interfere With Probing Of
Grating Charges.
NO RIGHT TO GRANT IMMUNITY
Attorney Gofterman Declares De
partment Believes Accusations
Are Made to Draw Out
Plans of Prosecution.

Health Department officials, who for
the last SIX weeks have been investigating
grating by employees Of the city institu-
lions. are disposed to ignore the state
ments Of R. E. Lee Gibson, former chief
clerk at the Insane Asylum, against whom
the Health Department has evidence.
One Of the reasons for ignoring his ae-
cusations, It Is said, Is that the state
ment could not retard or benefit the f1-
ture plans in placing the various asylums
on the plane tho present administration
favora
Gibson, who resigned several weeks ago
with q testimonial from Doctor E. G
Runge. Superintendent Of the Insane Asy-
lun. has said that immunity was offered
to him providing he could furnish evidence
against other officials. He stated that the
health officials were DESTROYS OF getting
Information from him In regard to the
manner in which Doctor Runge attended
to the affairs Of the asylum. and that Of
hcers sent to bring him to the Health De-
partment frightened his wife and chill
dren.
Health officials, according to Doctor ST.
mon. have no authority to grant immunity
to any one, that being power vested In
the Circuit Attorney.
An instance is shown In the case OF
William A Kraft. a former meat con-
tractor at the City Hospital His indict-
ment was expected, but 1t developed that
he was to be used as q witness against
Oswald Matt and George Milford. against
whom indictments have been returned
Attorney Golterman made the follow
Ing statement last night.
The officials of the Health Department
decline to discuss the statement made in
an evening paper by certain persons sup
posed to be implicated in grating at the
institutions. They consider IL a subtle
effort to draw out Information which
these persons are anxious to obtain. so
as to prepare for a systematic defense
In addition to this, Health Depart
ment officials say they are too busy get
ting further evidence to be interrupted
at this particular time.
They will submit the sworn testimony
Of those implicated to the Grand Jury

ment matters. they say, cannot be profit

UNION REFUSES TO ENJOIN
NEW YORK STEREOTYPERS.
Herald ONCE Have Been Dis
missed From Union.

New York. Dec. 2S-Jutice Leventritt
In the Supreme Court to-day denied the
application Of Louis Quanchi and Charles
Bales, respectively foreman and assistant
foreman OF the stereotyping department OF
the New York Herald. for a permanent IN
junction restraining the New York Stereo-
typers' Union, No. i. from interfering in
any way with their employment on the
Herald or from securing their Discharge OF
from preventing the members of the de-
PENDANT organization from working for the
Herald.
The plaintiffs, who have been employees
OF the Herald for nearly thirty years, also
ask the court to issue an order restoring
them to membership In the defendant
union.
A stereotyper named Freel was dis
charged from the Herald, and he made
charges to the union against Quanchi and
Bales as responsible for this, the result
being that both were dismissed from the
union.
The stereotypers organization then uoti-
fed the Herald. according to the plaintiffs.
that, unless Quancm and Bales were dis
charged, the union would withdraw its
men from the Herald. The Herald refused
to discharge the foreman and his assist
salary until after the courts had passed
upon the merits Of the case.
The court holds that the members re-
lations with the union make them amen
able 70 the rules OF that organization and
that the court cannot interfere, and sug-
gests that the plaintiffs can appeal to the
general body with which their local union
is AFFILIATED. which had been held to be a

court OF equity.

Unauthenticity Of the Message, 1t
Is Asserted, Could Have Been
Learned by Rennes Court
by Proper Efforts.

Paris, Dec. 2s.-The grounds upon which
Dreyfus depends for vindication and res

Gated to The Associated Press.
Dreyfus charges that telegram from
Colonel Schwartzkoppen, the late German
military attache here, to Colonel Paniz-
zardi, formerly italian military attache at
Paris. as presented to the court-martiaI
at Rennes, bore the date of April, 1884,
when he was occupied with the details Of
the mobilization of troops Of which the
telegram treated. whereas the actual date
Of the telegram was the last of March,
1895, after he Dreyfus) had once been
tried.
A copy which has been found has estab-
lished the correctness OF Dreyfus's claim
in the opinion of the commission, which
recommended revision Of the case.
The statement OF the case against Drey-
fus containing the telegram when It ar
rived at the Ministry Of War was dated
April l. 1895. which Dreyfus claims shows
the telegram was written in the latter part
Of March Of that year.
With pair of scissors the Late Colonel
Henry clipped off q corner OF the telegram
and thus the actual date disappeared

annotated the telegram April, 1891: The
Colonel, however. neglected to remember
that the month of April had only thirty
days, for In the document there is a mem
ton OF the 3lst of the current month Z"
The unauthenticity of the telegram could
have been established had the court at
Rennes appreciated the Importance Of the
error.
Finally it developed that in the telegram
where the words 'Ce canaille de d an
pear, the initial 3D. had been Substituted
for the letter .'P:" The original copy,
written by III: Oribelin. the keeper of the
letter 'P." The scratching upon the paper
was apparent, but NJ. Bertillon, the hand
