Chief Sullivan Is Satisfled That All Will Go Well. Chief Sullivan of the fire department and Chief Wittman of the police department entertain different ideas on the new sys- tem of whistle-suppression. No longer will be heard the terrifying fire whistle. the new plan adopted by the Fire Commissioners is neither feasible nor practicable. Chief Sullivan is of the opinion that all will g0 well, and time will prove him right. “I'don’t see how it can work successfvl- ly,” said the Chief of Police yesterday. “Policemen must go to the fires to keep the crowds back and to preserve order. How are they to find out when there is a fire? No, sir; it’s not practicable.” Chief Sullivan is more optimistic. “We have been preparing for the abandonment of the whistle alarm for three years. ‘Where the men are accustomed to get shaved or to eat, or where they live, fire alarms will be placed, so, you see, no in- convenience will result on that score.” It is required of the battalion chief to inspect all the buildings in his district. ‘When' engaged in such labor he has an escort with him. Under the new order the escort must be an operator, who will be stationed at a fire box and know ex- actly where the battalion chief is all the time. ‘“‘How about the occaslons when you are going from one place to another, Chief?” < “Well, we will have to wait until we reach the destination,” said Sullivan. “But as far as the police are concerned, I think the Chief will find some means of meeting the difficulty. As a rule enough apparatus and nolse attends a fire to give a general warning. The first day of the new sys- tem, which is a negative one at the best, will find its first operation to-day if there is a fire. Then experience will do the rest.” GREET THEIR OFFICERS WITH LOUD WAR-WHOOPS Iroquois Braves Hold an Interesting Installation and Discuss Local Affairs. ‘War-whoops and commendatory words greeted the newly elected officers of the Iroquois Club when they were installed last evening. The ceremony of installa- tlon ‘was__simple, but impressive. Ex- Sachem Willlam Cannon read the ritual and the members raised their voices at the proper time. The officers installed were: Sachem, J.

On retiring from the office of sachem Mr. Cannon took occasion to call the members’ attention to the fact that the club was in a rut. He advised the mem- bers to take a greater and more active in- terest in politics.

John Nicholson, an employe of the living at 610 Jessie street, was treated last night at the Cen- tral Emergency Hospital for a number of severe contusions on. the head. Nichol- son was on his way home and was walk- ing along Kentucky street, about a quar- ter of a mile from the works, when he was set upon by five men and badly beaten with clubs. He claims the assauit was a result of the recent labor_troubles. Shortly after the arrival of Nicholson at the hospital Ernest Egley, an em- ploye of the Western Sugar Refinery, liv- | ing at 181 Shipley street, was brought to the hospital in an unconscious condition. He was also walking - along Kentucky street and was set upon by a crowd of men and rendered unconscious. Dr. Armistead found that in one of the wounds on his scalp an iron washer was imbedded. On its removal he regained consciousness and reported the loss of his silver watch, which he thinks was stolen by his assailants. He assigns the same reason for the assault as did Nich- olson. Detective Thomas Gibson has been detalled to investigate the reports of the two men.

The defendants in the suits are all wealthy people and the complaints state that they owe amounts ranging from $200 to $60,000. Contrary to the custom usually pursued, the suits are brought against those -whose taxes are due on franchises, bonds and bank stock and not against people whose taxes are due on their homes and personal belongings. Owners of ‘stock in the First Natlonal Bank of this city, who claim that the stock is not taxable, are among the de- fendants. - The question of the validity of taxes levied on k stock is now before Judge Morrow of the United States Dis- trict Court, but the suits instituted by Attorney Ruef will nevertheless be prose- cuted with vigor.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—The Record-Herald to-morrow will say: The Interstate Com- merce Commission will begin a series of three investigations in Chicago next Tues- day, which is said to have for its purpose the gathering of data for a spe- cial message by President Roosevelt to Congress. It is sald that in this special messagés President Roosevelt will deal with tnres subjects, as follows: First—Railway combinations. Second the Interstate Commerce Com- mission. Third—Legislation governing interstate traffic. Originally it was the purpose of the President to cover these subjects fully in his annual message to Congress, but ow- ing to the inability of the Interstate Commerce Commission to get all the facts necessary, these subjects were touched upon but briefly, and were left to be han- dled in a supplementary message. The investigations which will be made, and which will supplant those already made, are: 1. Tuesday, at Chicago, the transportation of_ packing-house products and dressed beef. 2. Wednesday, at Chicago, the Burlington- Northern Pacific-Great Northern combination. 3. Thursday, at Kansas City, grain and grain producis to Eastern and seaboard points. 4. Friday, at Chicago, packing-house prod- ucts and dressed beef. United States Marshal Ames’ deputy was busy to-day serving and trying to serve subpenaes on representatives eof packing-house interests. He had six sum- monses and succeeded in serving two. Several of the men sought are sald to have escaped service by leaving the city hurriedly, one of them missing the deputy by only a few seconds. While the packing-house men are ap- parently shunning the investigation, the railroad men are not seeking to avoid it. Many of them believe that anything is better than the present conditions, and that with stable rates would come lower rates, to the great benefit “)f the entire country. The packing-house men who were served with subpenaes are: George B. Robbins, president of the Armour car lines, and W, B. Jenkins, superintendent of transportation for the Hammond Pack- ing Company. No subpenaes were issued for the railroad men, but in their stead letters were received from the commis- sion requesting their attendance at the investigation. It 1s sald that every person in charge of traffic on a road centering hereand known to carr: packing-house products and ldressed ef has received a copy of the etter. It is understood that the legal counsel interested in the organization of the Northern Securities Company—James J. Hill, E. H. Harriman, J. P. Morgan, former President Hays of the Southern Pacific, President Buzt of the Union Pa- cific and J. C. Stubbs, traffic director for the Harriman lines—have been asked to attend. Nome of these men were subpe- naed, but Darius Miller said that he ex- Ppected to respond to the commission’s re- quest, and it is presumed that others will do the same. It is also the purpose of the commission to inquire into the purchase of the South- ern Pacific by the Union Pacific and into all that has transpired within the las Year as tending to show the workings of the community of interets’ idea. Railroad men have been given to un- derstand that the investigation into rate matters is not for the purpose of inflicting punishment upon any one, but simply in the line of investigation ' for facts and data, This 8 understood as confirming the purpese of the President to send a special message to Congress.
