After Amliew KIcsKey, who tns ho Is
an Austrian, and who Is also known as U
Senll, bad been held without ball In the
tilglit couit last night, ns u susplcloui
person, Carlcton II. D.ivls, hlef of tho
llureau nf Water, announced that ho had
ordered two separate Inquiries lo learn
If tho prisoner hud thrown polsci or dis
ease germ cultures Into the reservoir on
Thirty-third street, between Diamond
street nnd Columbia avenue, yesterday.
Chief Davis said thut It would talto tons
of most poisons to maUo tho wnter there
uiihealthtul, although ho admitted lliat a
small quantity of a certain polpon would
affect It dclcterlously.
Rleskey. who says ho Is tl.lrty-clght and
lives at 1027 North Second street, was ar
rested by the watchman after Mrs. Annlo
Powers, of 2030 North Twenty-ninth street,
said that tho man had thrown u box Into
the water, which is known as the Spring
Unrden basin. John Matlln arrested the
man, who was only subdued after a spirited
struggle. Mrs. Powers became 111 last
night and was unable to appear at the hear
ing before Magistrate Pennock and testify.
Since the diplomatic P-eaic with Germany
an extra force of men has patrolled each
plant In the water department. Yesterday
as Marlln was walking his post Mrs. Pow
ers called to him and said that sho had
watched a man acting suspiciously during
the afternoon. Finally, she said, u few
minutes before ho had hurled something
that resembled a box Into the basin. Mar
lln ran around tho comer In tho direction
given htm by tho woman and came upon
It.cskcy or Seskl.
FIKRCi: BATTI.H WITH WATCHMAN
Tho watchman nsked him his business,
ntid becauso the suspect gave such unsatis
factory replies, grappled with him. Rleskey
rebelled and in a moment a llerco buttle
was In progress Mrs. Powers, who had
'watched tho fracas, ran to the street corner
and summoned a policeman. He arrived as
Marlln was llnally getting ins man Into sub.
mission.
Later the man was arialgned before
Magistrate Pennock. and because of the
Illness of Mrs. Power, tho chief witness,
the case went over until today at 2 o'clock.
The man was held under $800 ball for
a further hearing next Wednesday' by
Magistrate Beaton on accusations of tres
passing, attempted felony ami carrying
concealed deadly weapons. Tho last ac
cusation was the result of finding In tho
man's pocket a pair of brnst knuckles. An
undershirt was also found in his pocket.
James L. Marlln, 4707 Fowler street, told
his story, which wim that no saw tho man
walk up the bank of the reservoir, and as
ho was requesting him to como down Mrs.
Powers, who Is seventy yeais old ran to
him and said, "He Just threw a package
Into tho water."
Lieutenant Scanlln testllled that tho man
had been arrested two years ago for act
ing suspiciously around tho Mldvalo Steel
Works and had been sent to Norristown
for treatment. In his own defetiso Rleskey
said bo had merely lighted a clgatette and
had thrown the mutch Into the water.
In tho room of tho prisoner was found
a bottle which was thought to contain
poison. A careful analysis disclosed tho
fact that the "poison" was cough medicine.
The detectives, however, wanted the man
held until they could have a test of the
water In the reservoir made.
BOYS STEAL AUTO; CAUGHT
Three lads are In the House of Detention
today for running away with an automo
bile last night. Before they were caught
there was a fast chase through a crowded
thoroughfare In West Philadelphia, The
boys are Samuel Koons, thirteen, 5G4t
Pearl street; I.ano Lord, fourteen, DEB7
Brown street, and John Staeter, fourteen,
0542 Pearl street.
Tho took the car of II. C. Wackerly, of
3002 Cumberland street, from In front of
C00C Chestnut street, where lie was visiting.
He was coming out of the house about the
tlmo nnd hopped Into another machine
which had been alongside and agked the
bwner of It to give chase. U was done.
The boys turned up on Sixtieth street and
raced clear to Havorford nvenue before
they stopped.
Only Koons was caught when the pur
suers came up, but ho told who his com
panions were, and they wcro arrested later

N0RRIST0WN COURT
DENIES 3 LICENSES
Judge Swartz Tells Reasons for
Refusing Renewals to
Applicants
NOrUMSTOW.V. April u
Tho Couit today refused three liquor II
icnse'i, granted two, and thcte remain two,
against which remonstrance have been
filed, to be acted upon as follqwri
lief' .led William i:. Toner. I'onsho
liorken Hotel, Coiishohocken ; John Welcer,
licjtty Mansion Hotel, Plymouth township;
Max (Iruhl, Sower's wholesale store, (Jrcen
Lane.
Granted Franuh Saltzer, Warwick Ile.
taurant. Pottstown; J. Harvey Peterman,
Imperial Cafe, Pottstown.
Withheld 11. It. Hnrley, American
House, Pennsburg;' Wilson It. Freed, Palm
lintel. Upper Hanover.
Judge Swartz declares that Welcer Is not
nt person to lio'.d a license. Weleer was
recently acquitted In Criminal Court of the
charge of selling liquor to Illinois, hiiusc
quently the court refused a petition to re
voke, declaring that It did not want to
ovcirule the verdict of the jury In Criminal
Coutt, but Intimated that Welcer might
have been convicted under the testimony
Welcer Is now In possession of tho hotel
by a leas? which expires next August and
icfuses to vacate. Consequently the court
cannot grant a license to Frank Sheridan,
of Norristown, another applicant.
In refusing the Toner application the
Court sajs:
"Two years ago, after a contest, we reluc
tantly renewed the license with the declara
tion, 'made In open court, that 'perhaps the
management Is at fault, If so, it should be
corrected," " '
The Court is convinced that (Ireen Lane
Is not tho proper location for u wholesale
license. In addition to testimony sub
mitted In couit. President Judgo Swartz
recites Inside knowledge us to excessive
drinking In the community. He says "too
many of the peoplo purchase by the bottle
and dilnk to excess. One afternoon we met
thirteen persons In this back country and
eleven of tho number were Inloxlcuted. Wo
don't know where they got their drink, nor
do we know that they were men of known
Intemperate habits. Sales to them may
have been lawful, but the fact remains that
there was abundant evidence of excessive
drinking, liven If there Is a necessity for
a wholesale liquor store, the applicant Is
without the means to 'meet the demand "
This disposes of 210 of the 212 license ap
plications, Thus far only three have been
lefused. Two hundred and seven have been
granted
