Grand Jury Seeks Source OF
Bucket Shops Information.
CONNECTION Is SUSPECTED
Five Officials of Western Union Give
Evidence in Matter.
OPERATORS ALSO ARE HEARD
Reported Discovery Of Leak in New
York Stock Exchange Quotations
Through Member Denied.

The establishment Of a direct connec-
tion with the Marin fast wire service
by one Of the leading wire concerns of
the country seems to be the object of
the inquiry now pending before the grand
jury. which today continued its probe
into the methods of acquiring stock quo
tations by bucket shops. Five official Is
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany gave evidence to the grand jury
and were followed by Frank Maier and
Thomas Marin. who are said to have
owned the Marin service. and by three
operators of the fast wire.
The Western Union officials were w. A.
Sawyer. district superintendent for Phila-
dent at New York; F. E. Coyle, chief
clerk to the general superintendent: T..
M. Mulford, district superintendent at
New York, and H. A. Kitchen, chief
clerk in the office of Vice President At
kins. These officials would not tell what
they had testified to. but it is understood
that they aided the investigators to the
fullest extent.
Will Be Asked to Explain.
BY the testimony of Maier and Mar
ring, Special Assistant Attorney General
Bielaski expects to establish that their
fast-wire service was furnished to a num-
Der Of bucket shop concerns ahead of the
ticker service. They will be asked to
explain the origin of the information sent
out over their wires.
Through the operators the govern
ment hopes to satisfy the grand jury
that the information came from a spe-
cific source and was not the result of
wire tapping. The operators are ex-
pected to tell the grand jurors that
q skilled operator can tell when wire
is tapped or interfered with, and that
he also can tell the source of the in
formation received.
Among the operators who testified
was Joseph NJ. Becker. whose work on
the Marin fast wire was interrupted
last Saturday in New York. The other
operators were P. j. Morrison and
George Dougherty.
The reported discovery of leak of
New York Stock Exchange quotations to
exchange was denied today by w. E.
Bishop. the official investigator of the
New York exchange. who is in Wash
ington to testify before the grand jury.
Would Be superfluous.
Mr.. Bishop declared that such service
would be superhuous and almost useless
to bucket shops. since. according to him.
they were being furnished quotations over
he Marin wire almost instantaneously
with the transactions on the floor Of the
exchange. The Marin wires efficacy, he
said, depended on the information reach
ing the broker in advance of the ticker
service of the Gold and Stock Company,
which was synchronOus with the ticket
