THREE FIGHT TO
SAVE GILLESPIE
Water Commissioner Has Attorney 5
Galore, in Contempt Case, All Paid
By Parties More Interested.

After John Gillespie, well.known
auto dealer and water commissioner,
has had two or three weeks of worry
over contempt Of court proceedings
growing out of the disposal OF the
sample car OF the Watt Motor Co.,
bankrupt. he is In fair way to be
relieved. Constable william Witt will
be the next TO get into the contempt
OF court proceedings.
Tuesday morning Judge Swan had
the case UP and informed the attor-
neys that he would continue IL to
allow them to put In briefs. The de-
lay Is also for the purpose OF making
Constable Witt figure.
Before the Watt Motor Co. became
bankrupt, Ii was sued. Witt served
an attachment on the sample car as
II reposed in Gillespie's garage, but
after the bankruptcy proceedings were
begun. Then the bankrupt's trustee
served q notice on David Gillespie, a
brother Of John, to hold onto the car.
Witt took the car out Of the garage
and sold II. Justice OF the Peace Louis
OFT buying II for less than $500.
Three attorneys paid by other peo-
pie appeared to defend Gillespie. Will
liam d. Ellsworth represents Justice
OFT, who bought the car; Joel Gross
man represents Witt, who sold the
car, and K. Alpert was on hand to
represent the man who had the judg-
ment against the Watt Motor Co.
But all represented Gillespie, who was
not present and was not paying a
cent for his defense.
After Attorney w. L. January. for
the Detroit Trust Co.. the receiver,
had submitted statement OF the
facts conceded, Judge Swan remarked
that he thought the constable in the
case should be party and that he
could be brought IN by the receivers
petition.
John Gillespie was away on his
wedding trip when all this happened"
asserted Attorney Ellsworth.
Gillespie reached the federal build
ing Just after the case had been post
poned and had a report from the three
attorneys who are striving so hard to
acquit him for the sake OF their other
clients. The general opinion was that
Judge Swan will dismiss the contempt
proceedings against Gillespie for al
lowing the property OF the bankrupt
auto company to get out of his garage,
and that the proceedings will then go
on against Witt.

He Is Trying to Stop When II
Begins to Move.

ROCK SPRINGS. Wyo., May "a
In order that his two brothers might
live, Arthur, the ten-year-old son OF
Jack Highly, died.
The children were playing about a
box car which had been blocked near
No. mine. Two youngsters were
seated on the track, when the blocks
slipped and the car began to move
down grade. Arthur placed several
distractions In front of the wheels and
brought them almost to a stop. Then
he placed his shoulder against the
fiange Of the wheel and endeavored
TO mold II at standstill. His puny
strength had no effect and he was
borne down until his skull was crack
ed like an eggshell. but the obstruc.
ton thus Afforded stopped the car.
The brothers of the dead boy hur-
ried home with the story Of the trag-
edy. Their father ran to the scene
and removed the little hero, carrying

PEACE 0VERTUREs
Head of B. of L. F. & E. Makes Plea
For Closer Relations With En-

On a mission of peace. Grand Presi'
dent w. s. Carter, OF the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, went before the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers. in session IN
the Wayne pavilion, Tuesday morn
ing. and In an address lasting an hour
made a plea for closer relationship
between the two organizations.
Since the firemen, a few years ago,
decided to admit engineers TO their
ranks and added the name engine
men" TO their title, a certain rivalry
has existed. The B. OF l.. K. has stead
fastly refused TO recognize the right
of the firemen's organization to repre-
sent enginemen; nor does II propose
10 do SO now. AS a matter OF courtesy.
however, President Carter was ac-
corded the privilege of the floor and
the subject Of his appeal was referred
tc special committee of seven.
"Mr. Carter talked on the advisable
ity OF eliminating the friction that now
exists and urged that both organiza-
lions work together In all differences
between the railroad companies and
either organization" said Assistant
Grand Chief F. A. Burgess, Of the B.
OF L. E, Tuesday noon. The ques-
tion the special committee is TO con-
slider and report on is whether we
shall recognize their right to represent
engineers. There is not the slightest
chance OF such a proposition being
carried out, however. We maintain
that our organization alone has that
right and believe that the firemen
