NEW YORK TO GET
CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Fire Department Employees Turn
Over to City an Invention
Worth S1,20O.000.

After work extending over two years,
Leonard Day. chief Of the Fire Alarm
Telegraph Bureau, and j.. 4. Faller,
chief telcgrapher OF the Fire Depart
mcnt. have devised a fire alarm
box which will break tho grip of the
monoply i'm fire boxes, which has
existed for tho last seventeen yeaTc
on account Of tho run Of patents.
The inventors have submitted these
boxes for use OF the city without
royalty. and il is expected that the
cost under competitive bidding viii
not exceed so. The price Of fire alarm
boxes during the past several years
under competitive bidding has run
from $40 to S115 each. The average
price has been S125. The estimated
saving. therefore, will he $50 a box
Since the new fire alarm telegraph
system will require the installation Of
1000 new boxes in the next five years,
II is estimated that the saving TO
the city will be about Sl.2o0yOo".
From searches in the Patent Office
chief Day and Fire operator FalIer
found that in 1913 a sufficient num-
bcr OF patents would expire TO en-
able them to construct non-infring-
ing fire alarm box, which would be
in all substantial respects the same
as the mountaineering and successive
box standard throughout the United
States. Such box in lots OF l,Wn
should he purchasable on account OF
competition for approximately SO.
In the design of the new fire alarm
box Day and Faller have invented
n simple mechanism, which in no way
alters the standard type Of box and
in no way interferes with the oper-
alton Of this non-intertering. successive
type box, but which automatically ac-
complishes what is now being done
nv trouble hunters. TO prevent these
new features ever getting into the
control of a private company. SO as
70 increase the cost OF the mechanism
to the City Of New York. the inventors
have given their patent right in these
new features exclusively 10 the City
of New York.
Great care has been exercised IN the
design of this new fire alarm box to
embody no single clement nor any
combination of elements which are
claimed in any uneXpircd patent, but
most Of which are described in eN-
pircd patents.
Fire commissioner johnson hopes
that the contract for these new fire
alarm boxes will soon be advertised
so that the million dollars worth OF
newly installed underground cable may
bc actually thrown into service. Ns
soon as the new boxes come the many
new fire alarm posts throughout the
city will Immediately become avail
able for service.

A crowd OF Manhattan and Brooklyn

70 he members OF the Kilkenny Football
Club. attacked and beat up a policeman
at the Market street station Of the Penn

the protests Of those in the place. Some
one sent i'm a hurry call for reserves.
When they arrived at the station they
placed nine Of the participants under ar
rest and started out 10 look for others
who were in the mix-up but who fed Just
before the reserves arrived.
The football players had visited several
Newark saloons after the game, and by
the time they reached the station 10 take
a train for Manhattan some OF them
were very hilarious. They amused them
selves by throwing their dress suit cases
al one another, and, firing OF this, hurled
them at some of the women and men in
the place Then they proceeded TO over
turn the benches and wreck the place
generally.
One OF the employees went into the
street and found Policeman Charles Stel-
berg. The officer grabbed two and was
about to take them to the station house
when Thomas Phelan, OF No 205 East
18th street. Manhattan. leaped on to the
back of the officer and threw him to the
ground.
The whole crowd then piled on 10 the
officer and relieved him Of his revolver
and billy Before the officer could get TO
his feet they beat him over the head with
the club and kicked him in the face and
head. In the mean time word had been
sent to tho lst Precinct for the reserves.
and they arrived in time TO save their
brother officer from death. Nine OF the
assaiants we're placed under arrest and
taken TO the station house.
