TWO POLITICIANS
FACE BR|BE ARREST
Case 'Sewed Up Against Ward
Chief and Minor Henchman,
cortelyou Asserts
WILL CONFER WITH R0TAN

A ward leader and lcsser politician
may be arrested today following reve-
lntions OF an alleged plot to extort
500. 900 bribe money from fire engine
manufacturing companies bidding upon
n $500. 900 city contract for new fire
apparatus.
Director Cortclyou has made a thor
ough investigation and says he "has
the case sewed up tight" The d.
rector and District Attorney will con-
fer today. and the afiidavits and war
rents. II is believed, will follow.
1t is declared authoritatively no high
city official or member Of Council is I'm
plicated in the plot. The men under
suspicion are said to be frequently
about City Hall, and pose rs friends OF
the Administration.
Three Companies Hold Monopoly
A monopoly on the fro apparatus
business with the city has been held by
three large companies In the past. They
compete strongly for business. Another
firm, which declares It has been forced
out OF the running because Of the man
ner In which specifications are drawn
when bids are asked for. has been com
planning bitterly. That first drew at
tcntion to the fire engine situation.
It is charged that the politicians
under suspicion went to the representa-
tives OF one of the firms, telling them
they had great influence around City
Hall and could swing the bids their way
for cash consideration Of 10 per cent
Of the contract price, or $50, 900.
II is not yet altogether clenr how the
Administration officials got line on the
bribery attempt. The complaint. how.
ever. OF the company that felt itself to
be excluded because Of technical point
of horsepower IN the bids started the
investigation that eventually led to
larger game.
Damaging Conversations
Director Cortelyou has been quictlr
working on the case. Reports of con /.
versations between the agents OF one Of
the hre engine companies, it Is declared,
and the politicians accused of having
solicited the bribe are said to be in the
Directors hands. The politicians in

fronted with this evidence today or to-
morrow, and given a chance to explain,
II they can, just what they meant.
Tho specifications which were TO have
been advertised call for thirty eight
pieces OF motorized fire apparatus. in.
Guiding pumping engines and hose
wagons and hook and ladder trucks.
Concerns which in the past have been
active bidders for the city's business
are the American la France Fire En- .
ginc Company, Of Elmira. y. Y. with
branch office at 104 North Eighth
street the Ahrens-Fox Fire Engine
Company, with Offices in the Widcner
Building, and the Seagrave Company
with Offices in the DreYel Building.
