COMPLAINTS MADE
BY MARKET MEN
ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD TO RE-
IrEvE SITUATION AT CrTY
MARKETS.

Some time was taken up ~ the
meeting of the administrative board
yesterday afternoon by hucRsters al
the Second market In presenting
claims and complaints, and asking for
relief In various ways
Practically the entire personnel of
hucksters presented themselves before
the board. Market Clerk Diacont waA
also present.
The principal plant OF the deal
ers was that the streets in the imme-
tiiate vicinity OF the market were oc-
oupied By persons selling fruit and
vegetables, without paying the rent
and fees required of the regular oc-
eupants OF the market buildings.
These dealers, IL was claimed. In
terfered to n large extent with pos
sible business inside the markets, De-
cause with lesa expenses they could
sell cheaper than those on the inside.
1t Is worse on the inside looking
out than it is on the outside looking
in." said one of the huckstere.
Some of the compialnants were EN-
phatic In their statements that the
street hucksters took a large amount
OF the market work.
Many people buy from the man

ket," said the protestants, even
though they do not get as good goods.
The green grocers also take some OF
the business away from the markets. "
IF you were g. city official asked
Commissioner Mccarthy, would you
feel that It would be good thing 70
/ build another market In some sec
ton Of the city not now supplied"
Not on your life replied the
huckster. The business at the mar
kets now is much less than 1t was a
year ago, and the price of conduct
ing the ~bu siness is much higher"
The poultry dealers entered pro-
tests because other hucksters were
| taking up the poultry business as q
! side Issue. ana. naturally, interrered
! with the business OF the poultry man
The FISH dealers simply asked for
| more light. The lighta now In ure

II was explained by Commissioners
! Beck that within few weeks the city
would take up the lighting PROPOSE
! ton and install city lights. He SAID
! that the whole lighting system of th'
/ markets and the armory would b

Clerk Diacont was directed to hav,

Az the conclusion Of the hearing, CT

The theory of the electrical wheel as
finally ascertained is simple enough. The
current is obtained from a regulation
electric light fixture, generally in a room
below the one occupied by the wheel, to
G rheostat, which modifles the current
as desired. From this device go two
wires, representing the positive and Mega
tive.
The wires run UP through the floor
ing to a point underneath the heavy
carpet with which all gambling houses
are fitted, where they connect with tiny
the two legs of the roulette table near
est the end in which the wheel Is era
died. Through those table legs run wires
which terminate In minute points at the
floor. the ends piercing the texture of
the carpet and linking up the connection
with the plates beneath.
Another connection leads from the wires
where the wires themselves run up the
legs and into the Steel spindle on which
the wheel revolves, which is hollow.
1t is here that the fine adjustment
comes in. The apparently solid, but in
reality hollow, steel spindle Is covered
with an invisible insulation, over which
are shrunl1 iron rings. The controlling
wires within the spindle are connected
with these carefully insulated iron rings,
which are constantly brought into con-
tact with small pieces of brass, known
as brushes. which are concealed in the
hub of the wheel.
Pressure of a button will send a cur
rent through the wires into the spindle,
and In turn into the brass brushes.
Wires run down from these brushes and
spread fanlike into the turtle back wood
en- disk Of the wheel to tiny electro
magnets hidden in the wood directly un-
der each of the numbered compartments
into which the ball may drop. These
magnets are in sets corresponding to vari-
Gus sections of numbers on the wheel.
When button controlling division is
| touched the magnets sunder the compart-
ments in that division are energized, and
the ball. which is platinum covered with
| a thin coat OF white substance to re-
semble ivory, is attracted into one of the
compartments.
