WILKES-BflRRE.
The Tribune has oprr.nl n branch of
fice at . No. 2U. LunnlnR buMdlni;. Public
Hquare, Wllkee-Iiurre, for thj transaction
of biiHlncsi. The publishers propose to
extend the circulation of The Tribune In
Wllkns-ttarre and surrounding towns,
and to that end will present a very com
plete department of Luzerne county news.
For success In this undortnkliiK depend
once Is placed solely upon the superiority
of Tho Tribune as a purveyor of all the
news of the day domestic, forelun, local,
commercial and financial. The Renornl In-t-irests
of the people of VVIIkes-TJarro and
tho Wyoming vnlley will have in The Trlb
uno nn earnest advocate, editorially and
otherwise. It is the purpose of the pub
lishers to issue a newspaper as valuable
ti the general public as the mtropulltnn
rta'llcs. mid deliver It to the people
throughout northeastern Pennsylvania
from three to five hours eahller than the
.Philadelphia and New York papers can
reach them.
WHAT THE CHIEF SAYS.
Ho Never noes Anything In n Hnrry
Will Act Later.
Chief of Police ISrifftrs ndmlttcd to a
News-Denler reporter that lie had rt
colved a communication from the
mayor requeaUna; him to make for
mal complaint against a certain notori
ous bawdy house ml also nRulnst a
well-known speak-easy. The chief
added that he never acted In such cases
until he had made thorough Investiga
tion and was convinced that uctlon
was warranted. He says the two houses
nllud.'d to will be attended to in good
time and In accordance with the law.
The character of the houses to which
the mayor has called the uttentlon of
the chief Is so notorious that It Is rather
surprising the chief of police require
time to make Investigation. The chief
and the oIHcers on whose beats ther.e
houses are located ottsht to be bctte
Informed than anybody else enncornl!!'
tholr character, but they pretend to lv
very ignorant on the subject. There
are seme cities in this commonwealth
where such Ipnoranee would be ileemf.t
abundant rau for the removal of tT.e
oftloers and the substituting of brighter
and more effective men. If Mayor
Nichols had the power mayors of
other cities wield there would
changes very quickly.
Chief Hrlggs further Informed the re
porter that he had be?n misrepresent
ed, and that his past reputation as an
officer and citizen was euttlolent guar
antee that he would do his duty. Evi
dently he deems It to b his first duty
to obey the police committer of coun
cil, and as he would doubtless be
promptly removed by the committee If
he co-operated with 'the mayor, he has
some excuse. With him It is a ques
tion of obeying the polie committee or
los-ine his ottice. If the committee
would Intimate to him that he might
safely make complaint against the
houses referred to he would do bo at
once. Greater blame, therefore, at
tach to the committee than to the
chief of police. To the latter it Is a
ma'tter of bread and butter. He sim
ply stands in with the powers that be.
If he were subject to the mayor he
would stand in with that offlcinl.
THE CONSTABLES REPORT.
The Liquor Laws Arc Being Strictly Ob
served in Luzerne.
On Monday the constables of the
county made their periodical reports.
It is needless to say that the argus
eyed representatives of law and order
had no unpleasant duty to perform. In
their several and resiective bailiwicks
the liquor laws have been respected,
and they had no knowledge, of any
violations of the provisions of the
Erooks act. If the returr.3 made by the
constables were true there would be
cause for sincere congratulation. The
fact, however. Is that if the constables
of the several cities, towns and villages
of Luzerne county, really have no
knowledge of violations of the liquor
laws In their bailiwicks the conclusion
Is Inevitable '.hat they are wilfully
Ignorant; they make no effort to ac
quire knowledge.
Some constables have been known to
excuse and Justify themselves In the
plea that when they do return violat
ors of the liquor laws, the grand Jury
either ignores the bills, r, when true
bills are found, trial ends In acquittal.
"While this ia true In many cases It does
not Justify constables in making re
turns which they know are not true.
There are, or in the past have been, not
less than five hundred places In this
county where liquor was Bold without
the formality of a license. But the con
stables say they do not know where
any of these places are located. Li
censed dealers know where they are,
but the average licensed dealer does
not care to give Information.
GIVE THE DETAILS.
Importing Foreigners to Do Work While
Our Own Pcoplo Aro Idle.
Sewer contractors now doing extensive
Work in this city are Importing foreigners.
Why do they not give Wllkes-Barre'a un
employed work. The people of this city
pay tho taxes and WUkcs-Tlarre should
reap tho benefit of municipal work. There
are plenty of men In town who would be
glad to work anywhera Wilkes-iiarre
Record.
If the above Is true the Record falls
In Its duty when It withholds all de
tails. Who are the contractors doing
extensive work for the municipality,
who bring foreigners here to do the
iwork while hundreds of our own people
are Idle and would be only too glad for
the opportunity to earn money for the
support of their families? .Lt our re
elected contemporary give the names
of the contractors, the probable num
ber of foreigners brought here by them,
and In what manner they were secured.
The entire community in Interested In
putting a atop to that kind of business.
Contracts, are usually awarded on a
basis that enables contractors to pay
decent living' wages for labor, and the
vrorklngmcn resident In this city ought
to have the preference. This Is only
Justice to the community. If labor can
Ti'it be secured hero then no fault can
bo found with the contractors for seek
ing it elsewhere. I3ut, first, let us have
thfl namea of the contractors who are
guilty as alleged by the Record, to
gether with oilier details.

because he saw a chance for savltitf
the' young criminal. He sent for tha
lad, who waa brought into court, and
after consultation with the district at
torney he said he would suspend oen
tence and release the culprit, but If
hereafter thore waa any further com1
plaint against him, the sentence would
bo enforced. The boy's mother reside!
in Philadelphia, and she took the nex
train, taking the boy with her. The
young culprit waa convicted of stealing
a number of watches.
AN INJUNCTION.
Tho County CoinuilHslonors to Bo lio
strained by Low.
Counsel representing a number of
prominent citizens and heavy tax
payers yefiteriluy took the llrst step
toward petitioning the court for a pre
liminnry Injunction restraining the
county commissioners trom awarding
the contracts for the erection of a new
court house under the plans of Archl
tect Jlyers. It was Impossible to learn
full particulars kPt vening, but ono
of the attorneys representing the pe
titioners BEiurHl The Tribune repre-
sfiilc'llve that the proceeding was
fairly under way. This action was
certain to be taken. Public (sentiment
demands that the county commission
ers be reetrulntd In their crazy project
of awarding contracts for a court house
on plans that would cost a million
dollars, when they have not even a
site n which to erect the proposed
building.
The court will respect public Bentl
ment and bring tho commissioners to
their senses. It can Hau'ly be pre
dieted that the present board of county
commissioners will not commence the
erection of a new court houso on the
Myers plans or any others. They have
alrrjdy squandered more than $10,001)
rnJ will have to pay Architect Myers
? IC.ttoo more under his Iron-clad con-
tract, but the court will oeve the tax
payers from nny further wnste of their
money by the present uonrit. ext
year the people will elect three men
as county cummlralonera who can be
safely entrusted with the work of
erecting such a new court house as
the county requires. In the meantime
It is necessary to tie the hands of
the present board of reckless commis
sioner!'. The lirst rtep in that direc
tion was taken yesterday.
CEMETERY SERVICES.
An In Jcrstnndlng HcucheJ Between tho
li. A. K. and Cemetery Officials.
Some time a?o the official board of
Hollenbauk Cemetery association called
attention to the damage done at the
cemetery by the crowd that usually as
sembled there on Memorial Day, and
they would not permit services to be
held there execpt the decorating of the
graves. This creating a good deal of
feeling. It Is now stated that the
usual services will be held, but an effort
will be made to keep out of the ceme
tery all persons except those connected
with the Grand Army organizations
and such other organized bodies aa par
ticipate In the parade. In this way It Is
hoped the trampling of the grass and
other damage and defacement to the
graves will be reduced to a minimum.
The Grand Army posts evince a dispo
sition to meet the managers of the
cemetery half way and avoid all cause
for complaint such as haa been heard
In the past. The proper observance of
Memorial Day will In no wise be marred
by the adoption of the course Indicated.
The members of the Grand Army of the
Republic are all reasonable men, and
will not lay themselves open to unrea
sonable criticism. The managers of
Hollenback cemetery, too, are fair and
liberal men who 'have no desire to Inter
fere with the proper observance of Me
morial Day.
ANOTHER BIG COAL SUIT.
George W. Shonk and Others Want n
Quarter of a Million Dollars.
George W. Shonk, John J. Shonk and
others have brought suit In trespass
against the Kingston Coal company and
Daniel Eawards, for the recovery of
damages In the amount of $250,000. The
suit grows out of the mining of coal by
the defendant company from lands al
leged to belong to the plaintiffs, and It
Is likely that extended and expensive
litigation will follow. The present sea
son has been prolific of litigation of
this character.
A New Lock -Up.
Wilkcs-Barre Is to have a new lock
up, or police station. Architect Pod-
more has submitted plans to the proper
committee of city council. The plans
contemplate a building of considerable
pretention The basement will con
tain a liberal number of cells for pris
oners. The rear of the structure will
provide accommodations for the patrol
wagon and horses. The eeconu story
will be arranged as a flit for the driver
of the patrol wagon. Such a building
has been needed for years and Its erec
tion should not be delayed longer than
Is absolutely necessary.
Killed by Cars.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Mary Oarra-
han, of Luzerne, was almost Instantly
killed at the Pond street crossing of the
Lehigh Valley railroad In that borough.
The old lady attempted to cross the
track In front of an approaching train,
but was not quick enough. She was
struck by the engine and frightfully
mangled under the wheels. Tha victim
was past 80 years of age, and the widow
of the late Thomas Garrahan,
Koleascd on lliill.
The two Hungarians, Peter Massenk-
avltcy and Simon Saveleskl, who made
such a vicious and deadly attack upon
a man named Walker in a saloon at
Plymouth a week ago, have been re
leased from Jail, they having furnished

recover, at least his physicians are of
that opinion.

TO our patrons:
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many r-nf
rona thnt they will this vear hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it U already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling hn
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
