Npw York. April 16. Polics Captain
J"si;ih A. Westervelt, In command at
the Charles street station house, was
served late yesterday with a Bummom
sl:re. ting him to appear before Magis
trate Cornell in police court today. The
cummona was served by W. II Broder
Ick, rhief of the county detective staff,
and was from the district attorney's
fice. It was obtained by Assistant
District Attorney Schurman from Mag
istrate Cornell a few hours before.
The formal complainant .'iKiiinst the
captain Is John it. Wood, i detective
for the Tammany committee of live.
The formal basis for the 'h.irge rose
oul of the raid of the committee of
five on the Parole club :i Dey street
-several Wei ka ago. Wood was the de
tective wlui obtained most of the evl
rjem o whli 'i 1, d id the raid, of the
SO men caught in tills raid eight were
P lice officers, and of ibis bitter nuin
l er live w re a:: i :., d to the Church

by Captain Westervelt, The atory is
that five of the elghl policemen have

wrderly housps end p.imhllng places.
The result ;;' the stuiij iu! in i-.y con- 1
re en ros was 'pplh ,,1 for sum
monsea made yeat rday.
'i he conclusion rr. ' ! by District
Attorney Philbin nnd bis assistants Is
that a police official who knowingly
permits a disorderly house or gambling
place to exist in his precinct, even
though he baa not been apprised of the'
existence of the places referred to by
a citizen, Is guilty of a misdemeanor,
The procedure against Captain Wes- I
t . is entirely new. if Magistrate'
Cc ufell thinks that the complaint in
the onse has been sustained by the
prosecuting officer he can hold the cap
tain for trial before the court of s;.e
nlal sessions, which is presided over
iy three justices. The punishment
Vrovlded for by the code In case of a
i onvlctlon is that the i i i m convicted
hall be Imprisoned for a period not
exceeding one year or a fine of not ex
ceeding S.riiio, or both.
The summons served upon Captain
Westervell cs not make it Impera
tive lor him to appear In court. In ef
fect it is nothing mine or less than an
Invitation for him to present himself
lie'ore the court. He may decline to
so If he sees fit.
It Is stated, however, that if he pur
sues this course, then, upon a new
tati men! of facts and the presentation
i( an affidavit to the court by a com
plalnant, a warrant for the captain's
it could f'dlow. Captain Wester
ieit said last night that he did not
Kti w of any reason why he should not
i.; ienr in court.

quad, formerly in command of
Uif El dredge street station (the red
light district), was also served hist
nil it with ;i Btimmons t" appe ar before
Magistrate Cornell today.

Philadelphia. April 16. The supreme
SOUrt, in an opinion by Justice Hrown,
yesterday continued the injunction
granted by common pleas court No 2
Of Allegheny county restraining the
Interference by officers of trude unions
w ith apprentices. The title of the case
is Charles L, Flaccus against V. J.
Smith, M s Branin, John Kunsler. W
J Clare, T. V. Kowe, P, J. Ski lly and '
J. I) Beatty.
Flaccus Is proprietor of a glass works
It Tarentum, Allegheny county. In I
1894 he established his factory on an
Independent basis, stipulating that em
ployes should not be connected with a j
labor union. Flaccus declares that the
appellants, who are connected with the
American Flint Qlassworkers' union,
enticed a number of his employes to :
Ji in their organization. Flaccus se
cured an injunction from the Alle
gheny county court, and in the opin
ion sustaining that injunction Judge
Brown says:
"The appellee had an unquestioned
right. In the conduct of his business,
to employ workmen who were inde
pendent or any labor Union, and he hart '
the further right to adopt a system of
apprenticeship which excluded bis ap
prentices from membership In such a
union. He was responsible to no ono
for bis reasons In adopting such a sys-'
tern, and no one had a right to Intcr
fere with it to his prejudice or injury.
Such an Interference with it was an
Interference with his business, and. If
unlawful, cannot be permitted. Thfl
Court found that the interference was!
Injurious to him, and, if allowed to
c : Mniie, would utterly ruin his busl
nc'i The damages resulting from such
nn iajury are incapable of ascertaining!
at I iw, nnd justice demands that spe-1
Ciflc relief be furnished in a court of'
equity."

tliington, April 16. Mgr. James
.V hon died at the Catholic univer
sity yesterday, aged 84. He had been
at the university for about eight years,
but had no official connection with the
Inbtiiution. He was born in Ireland,
Frankfort, Ky., April Is. The trial
ef Garnet Ripley, charged with com
plicity in the assassination of Wllllass
Goebel, was resumed yesterday. Put
upon the witness stand, Ripley did not
deny that he made the statements at
tributed to him by ex-Oovernor Brad
ley and Judge W. H. Yost concerning
ex-Oovernor Taylor's remarks to him,
but said that while he thought that
they were substantially correct In their
evidence they had misunderstood him
or he had failed to convey the proper
Impression on them at the time.
Ex-Governor Bradley and Judge Yoat
will not be recalled as witnesses, and
the jury will have to decide as to
whether they or the defendant la cor
rect as to Uipley's statement of the
Taylor Incident.
Ripley stated that he had never
known Governor Taylor till that day,
and never saw him but once after that
(Jan. 2a) till after his company wan
calbd out. He saiil he never knew
Powers or Youtsey till some days after
the shooting; never saw Berry How
ard at all; had seen Jim Howard only
since they had been In jail together,
and never knew either Culton or Whar
ton Golden. Taylor gave him the order
Jan. 16 for the organization of the
company and on Jan. 25 Hipley came
here and secured equipments for It.
This was the day on which he had the
conversation with Taylor, and his ver
sion of it, which varies materially from
thtit stated by Messrs. Bradley and
Yost, was as follows:
"1 went into the governor's office
and found Governor Taylor lookinc
very badly, I told him I was sorry tc
see him looking badly, to which he re
plied in substance: 'In these horrible
times anybody would loo!; bad. Some
irri ponslble fool or crank la likely to
kill me or Goebel, and cause a riot
around here in which there will be
many lives sacrificed.' Then I told him
I did not think this would occur, and
went on talking to him about my com
pany, which I was getting equipment
for. 'My God,' said he, 'haven't you
got that company ready yet?' That
was what I was trying to tell Governor
Bradley and Judge Yost, but I may not
have stated it to them as clearly as 1
intended to."
Ripley denied that he ever Bald tc
Ferguson and Crawford that Ooebol
would be killed, but admitted that he
warned W. P. Thome on Jan. 29 tc
keep his son away from Frankfort,
claiming he did so because of the dis
turbed conditions here, and not from
any knowledge of what was going to
occur the next day. He maintained
that there was no secrecy about the or
ganization and equipment of his com
pany, and Bald that Governor Taylot
told him that It was not necessary to
apply to the county judge for authority
to organize it. The company, he said,
was organized for pleasure.
Witness said he received a special
delivery letter from Governor Taylot
late in the afternoon of Jan. 30 or
dering the company out. The letter did
not state that Goebel had been shot
and did not give the reason for calling
them out.

Pittsburg, April 16. The real" name
of the two men who are suspected of
the Mount Washington murder and tht
killing of Detective P. E. Fitzgerald
have been discovered to be Edward
and John Hiddle, Instead of Wright,
the name they gave the police. They
are brothers of Harry G. Biddle, of
Knoxville, and of William Biddle, a
Consolidated Traction company con
ductor. William Biddle was arrested
yesterday just after he had resigned
his job on the traction road prepara
tory, the detectives thought, to leav
ing the city. He had in his possession,
the officers say, goods that he admit
ted getting from his brother.
The most important development in
the case yesterday was the Identifica
tion of Robert Wilcox and "Jack" Bid
dle, alias Wright, by Mrs. Thomas D.
Kahney and her son, wife and aon of
the murdered grocer. Mrs. Kahney
said that while they tallied exactly
with the men who stood at the foot of
her bed when her husband was shot
she would prefer to see them fully
dressed before she would make a posi
tive statement. Her son Earl, 12 years
old, had no hesitation in picking out
the two men.
