1. WILLARD FOR JUDGE
Probability That He Kill He Given
u I'lucc on Superior Court Bench.
IDEA RECEIVED WITH PAYOR
No Doubt but That He Will Kccelvo tbo
I'nanlinous Support of Bench, liar
and state Legislators of This
and Adjoining Counti.cs.
Much intercut was manifest about the
city yesterday In the announcement
that Governor Hustings will be asked
to appoint Attorney K. N. W'lllurd, of
this city, us one of tha judges of the
proposed Superior court. For years
Mr. W'lllurd lias been the recognized
leader of the Luckawuiinu bur, uud It
was the generul opinion of lawyers
and luymen of the city, so far as expres
sions could be heurd, that Coventor
Hustings would make a. wise and Ju
dicious step In the selection of Mr.
Wlllard.
Members of the county bar, Irrespec
tive of politics, guvo the suggestion to
make Mr. Wlllurd one of the Superior
court Judges their umiuulltlcd tipproba
tlon. It Is recognized that the great unthra
cite region is entitled to representation
on the bench of the new court, beeuuse
many cases growing out of the mining
Industry will come before it for adjudi
cation. There Is probably no lawyer in
the state whose opinion on mutters of
mine law has greater weight or is more
eagerly sought for than Mr. Wlllard's.
The advantage of having such a person
as a judge of the Superior court can be
readily recognized.
I'omii ut llurrishurg.
At Hanisburg, where Mr. Wlllard Is
well known, his candidacy was received
with much favor. He will have the
solid support of the legislators from
this county and In all probability from
this part of the state. There Is little
doubt, too. that he will have the unani
mous support of the bench and bar of
this arid many of the adjoining coun
ties. Mr. Wlllard was born In April 2. ISM,
In Madison, Conn., where he spent his
youth. In 1S56 he was graduated from
Yale Law school, uud a few months
later came to the then straggling town
of Scranton, with the intention of mak
ing It his future home. In 1S"7 he was
admitted to the bar of Luzerne county,
where he at omje took a prominent
place on account of his thorough knowl
edge of the fundamental principles of
the law. his ability as u sound, logical
reasoner and his skilfulness in argu
ment. In ISO:! he obeyed the call of his
country, laid down his law books and
exchanged the forum for the battle
Held. He went to the front as a private
In a company of Infantry and in ISti'i
received an honorable discharge from
the service, having reached the rank
of captain of infantry. Mr. Wlllard Is
now a member of Ezra Oritlln Post,
Grand Army of the Republic.
His Only Public Office.
After the war he was. in lSOT. ap
pointed register of bankruptcy for the
western district of Pennsylvania, and re
tained that position until the bank
ruptcy law was repealed by. congress,
111 IK'S.
Though many times urged to be a
candidate for office, Mr. Wlllard always
resolutely declined such preferment.
On two occasions he refused to accept
the Republican nomination for Judge.
He has been chairman of the Republi
can county committee a number of
years, and has unquestionably done
much for the success of the Republican
party in this part of the state.
In 1S2 he was a delegate to the Re
publican National convention In Min
neapolis, and has, on several occasions,
been delegate to state conventions.
His great service for the Republican
party coupled with his undisputed
ability for such a high trust makes it
entirely probably that Mr. Wlllard will
be one of the first Judges of the new
court.

EASTERN LKACUE PLANS.
Meeting in New York Yesterday Con
firms I'mpiro Appointments und
Amends tlio lly-l.ans-St-u.vou Opens
April JUund Closes Sept. 13.
The delegates of the Eastern Ilase
Hull leugue met ut 11 o'clock yesterday
morning In the Fifth Avenue hotel,
New York. The championship sched
ule will not be reached till tomorrow
afternoon. President Powers, however,
has let slip the facts that the season
will open April list and close Sept, 15,
and will consist of 112 games. Mr.
lVpinet, of Eric, Pa., and Lawrence E.
Fassett, of Albany, were elected hon
orary members.
It wus reported that the suit brought
by the Troy players ugalnst Marcus t.
Russell, of Troy, for salaries, and taken
up by the league In behalf of the play
ers, had brought about much good re
sults und that It would probably not
have to be pushed further, as Mr. Rus
sell lias already settled with most of
the players und Is rapidly clearing up
the debt.
According to as much of the report of
the revision committee's amendment us
is given out, only two trilling amend
ments are suggested. The first is to
Section 3 In changing the names of the
clubs to those now comprising the
league, namely Buffalo, Providence,
Rochester, Syracuse, Springfield. To
ronto, Wllkes-Batre and Scranton.
The other amends Section 22 of Article
1, so us to require the competitive clubs
to place their guarantee of $250 (that
they will continue through the season)
In the hands of the president on April
10 Instead of May 1 us heretofore. The
guarantee was placed at a low figure
so it would not cramp a club at the be
ginning of the season while, at the
same time, placing ample funds In the
treasury.
The staff of umpires appointed by
President Powers Is composed of T. C.
Hurst, Ashland, Pa.; Herman Doescher,
Hinghamton, X. Y. ; John H. Gaffney,
Worcester, Mass., and Charles N. Sny
der. Washington, I). C. President
Powers will soon appoint another um
pire. In regard to the Western league sign
ing the three Erie players, Kenny,
Lally and Herger, In violation of the
National agreement, a committee of
three was appointed to submit the case
to the National board. The Eastern
league are very much worked up over
the loss of the players, because they
are paying the National league a stipu
lated amount annually for protection.

reached through the bars of the cell.
A tall, broad-shouldered tramp was
brought before the drunken man for

"That's him. Gl'me watch," said the
Hungarian.

YOUNG MAN'S SAD DEATH
Eutul Enilinij of James Gilhoul's
Hunt Inn Trip.
SEARCHING l'OK 10RTY HOURS
Uody Was round on tho Mountain Two
Miles North of Curbondule-lie Was
Alisblng Since Monday Morning.
Verdict of Coroner's Jury.
James Qilhool, of Brooklyn street,
Curbondale, who left home Monday
morning on a hunting trip to tire moun
tains, and whose ubsencu from home
beyond the usual time ularmed his
friends, was found rigid In death yes
terday morning. He bud a gun shot
wound In the left abdomen and the
body was lyhig ut full length, face up
ward., at a spot ubout lOU feet up the
hillside from the fork In the Fell town
ship and Crystal Lake rouds, about
two miles above Cur bondale.
His double barrelled shot gurr, one
chamber empty, the other loaded and
the trigger ruined, was found a few
feet away.
The position of the body indicated
that he must have been sitting on u log
und his gnu resting by his side. His
absence from home was detailed In The
Tribune yesterduy.
When he did not return In the even
ing It worried his friends. The mtws
spread and detachments of scouting
put ties started out curly Tuesday morn
ing to the mountains. There was no
reluxutlon on the part of the seuniiers
and by nightfall the number had In
creased to Mti. The seurcil wus kept up
ull of Tuesday night.
His Dog ( nine Home.
When the missing man left on his
trip he brought along his hunting dog.
The unlnuil returned home Tuesday
night hungry and thirsty, having
stayed all that time by the side of its
dead master.
S. G. Kerr's sagacious St. Bernard
dog was sent to Curbondale yesterday
morning to usslst In finding the body;
because Crilhool's friends hud given up
all hope' of finding him alive. The dog
cuught the trail ut once and started off
at a brisk pace In the direction taken
by Gilhool when he left home, and
would doubtless have found the body
hud not others made the discovery nnd
rendered further services of the dog
needless.
Emory Lee, a farmer of Greenfield
township, and his hired man, William
Haley, were the two men who discov
ered the body. They were in Carbon
dale on Monday nnd on their way home,
wherr they got neur the old Cole toll
gate they heard a man whistling for a
dog. About fifty or sixty rods away
on the side of the hill stood a young
man with a gun by his side. When
they read In the Curbondale papers the
next day of the absence of Gilhool
from his home It occurred to them that
he might he the man they saw.
They I (Hind tho Hodv.
Yesterday morning they, with three
others, began a search and at 10:25
found the Uody lying In about the same
spot as they saw the mun standing on
Monday.
Coroner Kelley ordered Undertaker
E. J. McHale to remove the body to his
establishment. In the afternoon an
Inquest was held. The following jury-
was empuneled: James Pldgeon, J. J.
Monahon, James McHale, Edward
Healey, George W. Schluger and James
T. McAndrew.
Everything went to show that death
was accidental, and a verdict was ren
dered accordingly.

MORE PLAY ROOM WANTED.
City School Officials Deplore tho I'uct
ihut Scholurs Must Play In the Alleys
mid Strccls-l.urue llullding Lots in
1 lit m o. '
The palpable lack of play grounds In
connection with the city's public schools
has for some time been unolliclally dis
cussed by Superintendent Phillips und
several of the controllers. The matter
has been brought to their attention
verbally and by letters from many
prominent citizens, but observation bus
offered the more urgentl reuson for
either ,t change, In Ihe present condition
or a pii'-puse to provide play ground
space in connection with schools erected
In future. .
Scholurs ut some of the schools un
forced j play In the ulleys and near
questloimfile resorts or in the streets,
where they are irr danger of being run
over by cars or trucks.
The six hundred pupils at No. ::ti. on
Franklin avenue, swarm, during play
time, Into a disreputable neighborhood
In the rear. The same lack of space
exists at, No. 33, and other buildings.
Some of the schools adjoin vacant lots
where trespassing is forbidden, but
which are for sale, notably, No. 35, on
the hill; No. 2i. In the North End; No.
"31, on South Main avenue, and No. 13,
In the Sixth ward.
Superintendent Phillips is opposed to
the Idea of purchasing in the future
any lots for' school buildings unless pro
vision Is made for amide play grounds,
When was purchased the land for the
new No. 1, on Jackson street, nil extra
lot was ucqulred und the purchuse re
c-eived the unanimous support of the

Ivnglisltman Shothy Louisiana Rioters,
Washington, March i;i. The interna
tlonal feature of the New Or leans riot,
through the shooting of the purser
Bane, of the British ship Engineer, has
resulted In the exchange of notes be
tween Sir Julian Pauncefoiie. the Brit
tsh ambassador, and the state depart'
merit, and of telegrams between the
stute department and the governor of
Louisiana. .
The British minister made a formal
complaint to the state department that
a British subject had been shot during
the riot, and in doing this the ambassa
dor has done all he can do at the present
time.
Sir Julian is entirely familiar with
our system of government and nppre
elates the fact that so far as he can
learn the local authorities have done
ull that they could do to restrain the
rioters.
Under the circumstances. It Is not
likely that the British government will
ask Uie't-'nited States to compensate the
wounded Englishman, although It Is not
Improbable that some Indemnity may
be paid to him more as a matter of
international comity than becnuse of
any Just claim he may have against the
government.

cent parade at Carboirdale. It will be

extend an Invitation to the county offi
cers of thi Buui-d of America to become
their guests und parade with them on
St. Patrick's Day. After several coun
cils on both sides were held, the result
was that the Hoard of America con
sented to parade as Invited guests,
officer of thu Day.

Board of Erin, will be the grand mar
slial of the united parade, und M. H.
Griffin, of the Board of America, will
