WON'T CHARGE CONSPIRACY

Philadelphia. July 12.-According to
correspondence made public. JAMES
Gay Gordon, private counsel for Mayor
Weaver, and John c. Bell, district at
torney Of this city, have seriously dis
agreed on the question of bringing a
charge of conspiracy against Frank
n. Caven, John w. Hill and certain
other persons" Caven is a council
man, and is under bail on the charge
OF violating his councilmanic oath in
being interested in city contracts. Hill
was formerly chief of the bureau of |
hltration, and is under $4,000 bail on
charges OF forgery and falsifying bu-
reau records in connection with the
construction of the city's filtration
plants. In both cases the name of the
contracting firm of d. J. McNicboI G,
Co., OF which State Senator James P.
McNiehol and former Insurance Com.
missioner Israel W. Durham are mem
bers, is involved.
Mr.. Gordon wanted the district at.
torney in drawing up indictments
against Caven and Hill. to include the
charge of conspiracy. This the dis
trict attorney, in a letter sent 10 Mr..
Gordon, declined to do, he claiming
mat under the law such an indictment
BASED on the testimony taken before
ne committing magistrate could not
'e drawn up. He assured Mr.. Gordon
nat is such charges are brought be-
ore a magistrate, and they are re-
lrned to him, he would prosecute the
ases to a conclusion zeaIouslv and TO
ne best of his ability. r
Mr.. Gordon, in replying to the dis
let attorney, says:
While the bills of indictment
sainst Caven and Hill are important.
ey are unimportant compared with
e necessity for bringing to Justice -

Gifted most by, and who have been D,
