Brook were present to give evidence on
behalf of the prisoner, and one of his
friends, in delivering his .testimony, took
advantage of the opportunity to Inform
the court as to his opinion of Mrs. Walsh

WHAT THEY THINK OF IT
! '
Republicans Interviewed Concerning
Senate Reapportionment Bill.
IT MEETS WITH LITTLE PAYOR
Majority of Those Seen Think That
Lackawanna Connty Should Continue
t olio a Separate Congressional Dis
trict as It Is at Present.
The sudden killing o? the house ap
portionment bills at HarrlBburg yester
day rests the entire question of re-ap
portlonment, If one shall be made this
year, upon the senate measures, one of
which that re-dlstrlcting tho state Into
congressional districts links Susque
hanna with Lackawanna county. Be
low The Tribune presents the views of
leading Republicans upon this proposed
change, and it will be seen that there
is almost no desire for any new deals In
a congressional sense:
William Connell "I am decidedly not
In favor of any scheme of a congres
sional apportionment which would
throw Lackawanna county in a district
alongside a purely agricultural county
like Susquehanna. The various districts
In this part of the state are very satis
factorily adjusted as lit Is. In our own
cose, we were, five years ago, within
25,000 of the requisite ratio of popula
tion; and since that time our county
has grown rapidly. Under the proposed
senate plan, Luzerne, with 30,000 more
than the ratio, is left Intact, while Lacka
wanna Is yoked with another county
having Interests entirely distinct from
our own. If Luzerne Is not affected, I
do not see -why we should be; and I am
firmly opposed to any unnecessary
clianges."
County Chairman's Opinion.
Colonel E. H. Ripple, chairman of the
Republican County committee and
president of the Scranton Central Re
publican club, before leaving the city
on Friday last, expressed the opinion
that any change In the present congres
sional apportionment, so far as con
cerns Lackawanna county, would be un
wise. "The district," said he, "Is now
safely Republican; It constitutes an in
dustrial and political division by itself,
and Its) population is growing with such
rapidity that the addition of a county
like Susquehanna, whose population Is
stationary, would merely Involve an
other' change when the next reappor-
Itionment Is made. The result of all this
shuttling would simply be confusion and
dissatisfaction. No, Lackawanna Is all
right as she Is. I have heard nobody
ask for a different arrangement."
Ex-Justice Alfred Hand "I prefer the
present congressional apportionment
for general reasons, and I do not see
how Lackawanna county's Republican
congressional Interests would be ma
terially benefitted by a change. Sus
quehanna county's interests are almost
entirely agricultural, while those of
Lackawanna county are entirely min
ing and manufacturing. A congress
man serving for the two counties would
be subservient to two masters, con
trary minded. Lackawanna, Is, I think,
safely Republican, so from a partisan
standpoint nothing Is to be gained by
an alliance with Susquehanna. I am
not well enough posted to venture an
opinion upon what would be the polltl
cal result of adding Bradford, Wayne
and Wyoming to other than their pres
ent district."
Should Romnln as It Is.
Major Everett Warren "I do not see
why Lackawanna county is not big
enough and Important enough to re
main a separate district. It is a sepa
rate district Industrially. Its interests
are entirely different from the Interests
of Susquehanna. Therefore, I am op
posed to making any change. We are
as near the ratio In population as most
districts are; and, all these things con
sidered, It seems to me that the wise
policy would be to let well enough
alone."
Judge H. M. Edwards "I am opposed
to joining Lackawanna and AVyomlng
counties into one congressional district.
I think Lackawanna is of sufficient
Importance to constitute one district.
It was so considered years ago when
this district was erected, and I be
lieve it would be unfair to S usque
hanna to attach it to so large and pow
erful a county as Lackawanna. The
two counties have nothing in common,
for ours is a mining and industrial
county, while Susquehanna is an agri
cultural county."
Ex-Lieutenant Governor L; A. Watres
"While there may be reasons why It
might be desirable that Lackawanna
and Susquehanna counties should com
pose a congressional district, there are
stronger) .reasons against It. Lackor-
wanna is one of the most important
and most aggressive manufacturing
counties In the state, while Susquehan
na county Is essentially an agricultural
county. Their interests are different
and they should nut be tied together
In a congressional apportionment. In
addition to this, such an arrangement
would be very unfuir to Wayne county.
The Republicans of Wayne have been
striving for years to put that county
In the Republican column and they
have just succeeded In doing so. They
are entitled to consideration and should
not be destroyed politically by putting
them with Pike and Monroe."
As Congressman Scrnnton Views It.
Congressman J. A. Scranton "I had
supposed that Lackawanna county
would remain as a district by herself
and white we were short of the quota
when the district was made we still
had more population than the Fif
teenth district, comprising the counties
of Wayne, Susquehanna, Bradford and
Wyoming. .Our population has largely
Increased since that time, while the
population of adjoining counties has
decreased, as is shown by Bradford
losing one representative in the pro
posed legislative apportionment. I do
not understand that Susquehanna
wants to come with us. They objected
to the move previous to the last ap
portionment, and ' I should think the
old Fifteenth district counties would
prefer to stay together. If a county
must be added to Lackawanna we
would prefer Susquehanna to any
other and would welcome them in the
district. The effect of such an alliance
upon our local politics would be to
anchor Lackawanna solidly in the col
umn of Republican counties, as every
two years the Democracy would have
no fighting chance whatever for the
head of their ticket. The effect of such
a condition of affairs would greatly dis
pirit the Democratic organization of
Lackawanna. As a matter of local
pride we should prefer the district re
maining as It is, being now one of the
most compact and Important districts
In the United States, but, politically, I
do not see that the Republicans have
any reasonable objection to the pro
posed union of Lackawanna and Sus
quehanna counties in one district.".
E. N. Willard "I am decidedly In
favor of the proposition to make Lacka
wanna and Susquehanna counties one
congressional district. I think it is the
proper thing to do, for it would give us
about the required population for a con
gressional district. It is just that we
should have the requisite number of In
habitants and it would do no harm to
have a sprinkling of agricultural Inter
ests In this great mining and manufac
turing district."
No Need of a Change in the District.
Ex-Mayor John H. Fellows "I am
certainly In favor of having Lackawan
na county continue as one congressional
district, for I believe in that way we can
have our Interests more carefully
watched and considered. If this county
had a sufficient population when the
district was erected, and if there were
good reasons at that time for giving us
a district of our own, these reasons
are much stronger and more pertinent
today than when that apportionment
was made, and I cannot see the advisa
bility of making a change now."
Prothonotary C. E. Pryor "To me
there appear many good reasons why
we should be allowed to retain Lacka
wanna county as a congressional dis
trict as it is at present. Not the least
Important of those Is the fact that
Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties
have few interests In common. As at
present constituted, this district Is im
portant in a mining and manufacturing
way, and I believe our Interests would
be best subserved 'by allowing the pres
ent arrangement to continue.
DEATH OF MARK NEWELL.
Ho Was an Old and Much Respected
Resident of the City.
Mark Newell died at 9 o'clock last
night at his home in Green's place, af
ter an illness of several months. Three
weeks ago he Improved so much that he
was able to leave the house, but his ail
ment renewed Its attack and he was
compelled to return to his bed. Last
night the end came. Although Mr.
Newell had passed the three score mark
on life's journey, he was still a man of
splendid physique and his warm and
genial disposition won for him a friend
in everyone with whom he became ac
quainted. He had for years been a resident of
theyclty and possessed a wide circle of
friends to whom news of his death will
be sad Intelligence. By 'his demise St.
John's Total Abstinence and Benevolent
society, of line Brook, loses one of its
most valued members.
Mr. Newell Is survived by a wife and
a number of grown-up children. The
arrangements for his funeral have not
yet been completed.

dent of the national organization of

ELM PARK CIRCLE ENTERTAINS
After a Delightful Programme Had Been
Rendered the Members of the Cirolos
Were Tendered at Banquet Tho
Names of Those Present.
An union meeting of CheVutauquans
of the city was held at ithe Elm Park
church last night, when all the circles
of the city were entertained at a ban
quet by tho members of the Elm Park
oircle.
A programme of literary and musical
selections was carried out In the early
part of the evening. Miss Louise John
son opening with a well-executed piano
solo, after which President G. F. Reyn
olds delivered the greetings of the home
circle In felicitous terms, and called
upon the members for their favorite
quotations. The invitation was quick
ly responded to, and many quotations,
humorous and otherwise, were given,
Mrs. Kate Q. Hawley read an admira
ble essay on "The Congress at Vienna
and Its Effects." After a critical analy
sis of the work and members of the
congress, Mrs. Havviey summed up her
arguments in the following terms: "To
sum up all, or even a few, of the results
would take too much time, so we will
be content in noting two of the most
Interest to us the German Federation
and the Monroe doctrine. Of those who
took the most active part we see Tal
lyrand despised by all for his faith
lessness, for, although he did wonders
for France, the principle" of the man
are remembered, and none would emu
late him. Metterntch lived long enough
to see his plans broken and his home
ruined by the same people, who, ac
cording to his Ideas, had no right to
even think. Castleretgh died by his
own hand, hated by the rabble he so
despised.
Wellington and Stein.
Wellington, honored. Stein, the pa
triot, honest, gruff and true, with the
interest of his country always upper
most in his mind, enthroned In the
hearts of the German people loved and
honored. One historian says of him:
"It Is good to stop, talk and think of
such a man. He It was who writes to
his wife about the congress of Vienna
they have done nothlng-never dream
ing that the part here played by him
should be a monument to his good
name."
C. F. Pross read a well-written article
on "LI Hung Ohang, China's Bismarck,"
and quoted several of his sayings. A.
F. Campbell delivered a most Instruc
tive and Interesting address on "Na
poleon Bonaparte." If they were to
judge of the greatness of men by the
elements of goodness, truth and honor,
then Napoleon was not a great man. he
said. He was, however, possessed of
genius and ability to a wonderful de
gree. If, again, they were to Judge
greatness by success. Napoleon was not
a great man, for when he faced the
valor of English soldiers his men were
invariably foiled. His ruling motive
was a selfish one, viz: to be the dictator
and arbiter of the world. If, again, they
were to Judge by the good accomplished,
Napoleon could not be deemed a great
man.
Miss Hattle M. Smith read a delight
ful paper entitled "A Peep Into the So
cial Life of Literary People," which, to
a groat extent, contained pleasing
reminiscences of the lives and associa
tions of early English writers, and those
of the beginning of the century.
Mr. Fisher's Subject.
"What Bent the Mountains In Penn
sylvania?" was a question discussed In
a scholarly manner by J. H.' Fisher.
Mrs. W. O. Breck read a paper on the
"Growth of the English Nation," which
contained some novel ideas upon the
political history of England. Glad
stone, whose virtues were highly laud
ed, would, she sakl, live in the memory
of English people long after Disraeli
and the Crimean war were forgotten.
In criticising; the political relations of
Canada with the mother country, the
speaker said that the governor could be
recalled by the Queen, and suggested
that It would be very desirable If some
higher power could also recall the
president of 'the United States when It
would serve the Interests of the country
to do so.
Miss Teresa L. Smith gave a critical
analysis on "Gleanings from Renais
sance and Modern Art," and Mrs. W. O.
Kennedy delivered a practical address
on "What We Are Doing For Others."

president thinks, that it is dangerous
for the young men to attend.- He has
decided tiiat Mb clerks shall not sub
mit themselves to such great tempta
tions. Nobody about the bank would
talk about the order.
One of the clerks admitted Its ex
istence, but refused to Bay whether it
was written or verbal. The clerks
feel It keenly. They do not for the
most part object to being forbidden to
attend the races, for a number of them
care nothing for racing. What they
object to is the Imputation cast upon
them by the Issuance of such an order
and the deductions that will be made
from It.
