Philadelphia, July 19.-As a result
of advice received from Elihu Root,
special counsel for Mayor Weaver, it
is probable. that the mayor will within
a few days institute criminal prosecu-
tion against certain persons who arc
prominent in municipal affairs. Mr..
Root advises the mayor that in the
face of the refusal of District Attorney
John c. Bell to take the Initiative in
bringing further prosecutions the
mayor should exercise his right to so
before a magistrate and carry the
prosecutions as. far. DIS the law viii
will permit him.. This opinion was
sent to Mayor Weaver yesterday and
was the result of a conference held in
New York last Friday. The purpose
of the conference was to decide wheth-
er the mayor should
Take the Initiative
in further prosecutions, the district
attorney having refused to do so.
Mayor Weaver and Judge Gordan
last week requested that the district
attorney in drawing up indictments
against Councilman Frank H. Caven
and John W. Mill, former chief of the
bureau of filtration, should bring the
charge Of conspiracy with certain 9TH
er persons to defraud the city. Coun-
Gilman Caven is, under bail for violat-
ing his councilmanic oath in being in
terested in city contract, and former
Chief Hill is under bonds to answer
charges of forgery and :falsification OF
records in connection with the con-
tracts for the, construction of the
city's filtration plant. At the hearing
given both men, before the magistrates

Nichol & Co, which is constructing

TEN, was frequently brought in by
witnesses. ,.....,,.t..,, .:1=a.,i'

The members of the firm are Form
er Insurance Commissioner Israel w.
Durham, the leader of the local Repub-
hcan Organizations: State Senator j. P.
McNichol and his brother Daniel Nc
Nichol. The district attorney in re-
fusing to- add the charge of conspiracy
to the indictment drawn. up against
Caven and Hill and to- initiate Grim.
inal prosecutions against Certain
other persons. said that such charges
based on the. evidence taken atHathe
Caven and Hill hearings could not Eun-
der the law be made. He suggested
that the mayor take the initiative.
Mayor Weaver and Judge Gordon in=
sisted Ethatfit@. was thes dstrictSattor-
ney's duty to begin prosecutions, they
declaring that; the evidence in his
hands warranted him in SO doing. Mr..
Bell persisted in his refusal and the
