LITIGATION ENDS.
Conclusion of Damage Suit of J.
E. Clough and Harvey Cannon
VS.. Bethlehem Steel Co.

1riaI of the cases Of Joseph +. Ciough
and Harvey Cannon ". the Bethlehem
Steel Co, begun in the Superior Court
Yesterday, ended to-day. Each sued for
$4,000 damages, alleging malicious prose
cution and false Imprisonment.
l. Irving Handy and William W
Knowles were attorneys for the plaintiffs
and Ward, Gray and Neary for the
defendant.
Attorney Gray yesterday afternoon
moved for nonsuit on the ground that
a company could not be held responsible
for an agent who acted beyond the scope
Of his authority. The court today
granted a nonsuit ON the count alleging
malicious prosecution, but refused a
nonsuit on the count alleging false in-
prisonment. Clough and Cannon were
imprisoned in guardhouses at the com
pany's plant after being accused of
carrying matches and high explosives to
the establishment for the alleged purpose
of blowing 1t up.
Following action on the motion for
nonsuit the court, on application OF
Attorney Knowles, gave judgment Tor
costs for the defendant. The suits were
thus disposed of because the company had
decided to compromise by paying the
plaintiffs satisfactory sums but the
amounts paid were not disclosed

ALARM, BUT NO FIRE.
Incident Drew a Large and Curl
Gus Crowd to The Play
house Today.

A false alarm Of fire, which caused a
great deal Of excitement, was struck this
morning at S45 o'clock, the time for the
daily fire box test
Today was set for the testing of box
No. 323. q new one, located on the stage
at The Playhouse Lincman Gray of the
Police Department always sends in these
test alarms and he went to the theatre this
morning to make the test When he
arrived there he found that he was unable
to gam admittancc to The theatre and call
cd up Operator Harkins and told him to
send 10 the test from central, which was
done, and in some manner the round was
sounded twice instead Of once, the reg
ular test schedule, and the district fire
companies responded to find there was no
FIRE. A very large crowd gathered around
the du Pont Building, thinking the
structure was on fire The employees were
also given "A scare
Several accidents were narrowly averted
while the Delaware and Washington Fire
Companies were responding to the box.
These companies came up French street
and along this street there were about
100 army trucks parked and il did not
leave much room for the fire apparatus,
with the result that there were several
narrow escapes when some drivers Of
automobiles failed to comply with the law
and pull up TO the curb when fire alarm
Is sounded

WILMINGTON HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
FROM GAS FAMINE
Reserve Supply Within $4,000
Cubic Feet When Manufac-
ture Was Resumed.
REPAIRS QUICKLY MADE

Wilmington was within an ace OF n
gas famine at about 4 O'c clock yesterday
afternoon. when, after Il hcrCulcan effort,
the Wilmington Gas Co resumed the
manufacture of gas at the plant In South
JuStison street. which had been put out
of business by an explosion of mysterious
origin yesterday morning when the tur-
hine house WAS wrecked together with its
equipment In this part Of the plant,
which is necessary for the conduct of the
business, were two turbine blowers, one
Of which was completely wrecked, while
the other had all of the steam and blower
connections severed BY hard work the
connections for the better of the two
machines had been. completed and the
making Of gas was resumed.
At that time, however. the reserve sup
ply Of gas in the big storage tank, which
had held 900. 600 cubic feet in the morn
ing. contained only 81 900 cubic feet and,
fearing il would not be possible TO resume
operations so soon, the company WAS pre-
pairing TO do the thing it dreaded most,
but which seemed inevitable, and that
was to shut of the gas entirely. However.
after the steam connection had been made
with the turbine il was found that It WAS
in working order. and the plant managed
to limp a.ong with its aid from that time
on. and there was no break in the service
after all. as far As the city was concerned.
General Manager Schutt said today
that the difficulties resulting from the
explosion had been overcome to such an
extent that the entire gas serv1ce-cIty
and suburban-h3d been restored Be
cause of the bad condition of the wrecked
blower, the company was able yesterday
afternoon TO obtain a new one at the
works of the Terry Steam Turbine Co.
at Hartford Conn. which IS to be ship
ped today. Within q week it should be
installed, which will give the company
the same equipment as it had before the
explosion occurred. Ii the damaged ma
chime Will warrant rebuilding it will be
put in shape and held In reserve, while
there is another new one coming which
was ordered last November
While gas consumers notice no differ
ence IN the service, 1t Is nevertheless true
that the company is badly handicapped,
in view OF the fact that there are still
many broken pipes and machines to be
repaired. and until this work Is done it
will not be possible 10 make much head
way on reserve gas Additional pre-
caution Is being taken in the matter OF
guarding the plant, which IS protected
bv an eight-foot iron fence.
In order 10 conserve the gas Tor home
and business Use, the street gas lights
were not In service last night
Mr.. Schutt had no definite clue. today,
as TO the cause OF the explosion, which
be still believes was the result of d plot.
