AN OBSTACLEJN THE WAY
After This Week Board of Pardons
Will Not Meet Until September.
I ARE ONLY TWO ALTERNATIVES
A Special Meeting of tho Board .Must Bo
Convened or the Uovernor Allow
Bczck a Lunger Lease of Life.
Money fur lliin Coming.
Tin1 next- meeting ot the board of par
dons will be on Wednesday, ami It la
said that no other meeting will be held
until September. That Is an unfortu
nate matter for Murderer Frank Bezek,
whose execution Is set for Aug. 1, and
unless a special meeting for his benefit
Is convened by the board, or unless the
governor shall grant a stay of execu
tion, Bezek will go to the gallows with
out another chance.
The law requires that notice of ap
plication to the board of pardons must
be published for three consecutive
weeks before the meeting at which the
case Is to be called up. No notice hns
yet been made of the Intention to seek
a pardon for the condemned man, be
cause no money had Ibeen, until a few
days ago, available,
Edmund A. Hartl received a cable
gram from Hczek's father announcing
that money Is coming to assist the con
demned man.
Another difficulty and a serious one
has presented Itself; the witnesses,
particularly .Mrs. Kramer, the dead
glii's sinter, have left for parts un
known, ami their depositions have not
been taken. It was expected that
some of those -who gave testimony
against Bezek at his trial, said after
ward that they per.lured themselves,
and It such could be brought properly
before the "board of pardons, It might
cause the board to b lenient with Be
zek. COMPANY WAS ALL RIGHT.
Allowed to Fix I'p Its Switches on Frank
lin Avenue.
The police on Saturday stopped the
Scranton Traction company from per
forming work at the corner of Spruce
street and Franklin avenue as It "was
supposed the company was violating
the court's injunction against on ex
tra track on Franklin avenue, between
Spruce street and Lackawanna avenue.
Through Street Commissioner Kirst
It was ascertained that the company
was merely putting In condition its
switches. The work was permitted to
proceed.

event occurred last night.

AUOUT NEAR PERFECTION.
What William Leslie Has to Suy About
Our singers.
In the Wllkes-Barre department of
the Telegram yesterday William Leslie
paid the following tribute to the Scran
ton United Choral society:
It is generally conceded that the
Scranton singers received no mare than
they richly deserved. Their voices were
ns near perfection as It was possible
for human agency to make them.
Every note of theirs gave evidence of
the careful training ot that prince of
C4 ductors, Mr. Waitklns. He went to
his home Unshed with victory carrying
with him the echoes ot the thunderous
plaudits which WIIUes-Burreans are
exceedingly careful not to bestow upon
Inferior ai-tlfts. Truly Wllkes-Burre en
vies Hlocum Hollow In the possession
of such a gifted gentleman. We have
our liver, our base ball team, our coun-
iy commissioners, our Mike Leonard,
our Bacon, and our Mason, hut, alas,
we Have no John Watkins."

sponsible for opinions here expressed.)
Dlstrict Attorney Offers a Reward.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Information has reached me from
a reliable source, that a. certain incuviuuai,
whose Identity cannot yet be discovered.
has for somo time been going among the
Illegal dealers In liquors throughout this
county and personating Mr. Lcyshon, the
county detective, and demanding money
from them under threats of prosecution
In cose of their refusal to pay tribute. He
appears to have visited only thoso portions
of the county where, as yet, the county
detective Is least known, and he Is report
ed to have collected considerable money
by this means of extortion. It seems
strange that he should have been so suc
cessful, when Mr. Leyshon's reputation
as a faithful officer and as one who would
not, under any circumstances, stoop to the
low and criminal practice of extortion, Is
so well known In this county. For this
reason I had supposed thut It would be Im
possible for any Individual to personate
the present, county detective for such a
base and ignoble purpose. Extortion, or
as It Is known In the parlance of the street,
bleeding." Is a miserable crime nnd
should be promptly nnd severely punished.
I will offer a reward of $50 to any person
who will furnish siihlclent evidence to con
vict said unknown person, or any other
person, who shull have personated the
county detective and succeeded in secur
ing money by means of extortion.

can liner Paris and reached here Sat
urday evening on the (1.05 Lackawanna
train from New York. At the station
they were greeted by many friends.
Although ordinarily a vigorous man,
Colonel Boles' appearance now be
tokens much physical benefit from his
long jaunt. He Is the very picture of
health, and that he has walked and
been alert to see new things In old
lands Is shown by an ubsence of avolr
dpols which gives him a new activity
denied to men. much younger.
Congratulations of Muny Friends.
At their home on Clay avenue Colonel
and Mrs. Bolc-s yesterday received by
ihessage and In person congratulations
upon their safe return from a host of
friends. To a Tribune reporter Colonel
Boles said: .
'I am not a plaglatirt when I say I
am glad to return to the best, the most
beautiful and the most glorious country
on the face of the globe. We have had
u delightful trip enjoyed every minute
of It and have returned physically and
Intellectually Improved, but there Is no
place like America and home. No,
there was nothing to mar the enjoy
ment of our long Journey, excepting
during Wednesday night onhe Atlan
tic, when we steamed Into or near a
Meld of Icebergs, two ot which we saw,
and passed an uneasy night, during
which I did not occupy my berth. On
that day wo sighted two gigantic bergs
and plunged into water registering 34
degrees and a fog so dense that one
standing midway between stem and
stern could not see the bow of the boat.
Very few slept, and life preservers and
the log boaits were made ready, but we
passad through the fog and cold with
out accident. We were travelers on as
many as eight seagoing steamers Bnd
the Incident mentioned was the only
one of Its kind encountered.
' New. Pleasant and Instructive.
"I cannot tell you which of the coun
tries visited we liked the best It was
all new, pleasant and instructive and
we were constantly fortunate In meet
ing persons we knew or who had
friends known to us. It Impressed me
anew with the fact that the world is
really small, but that our country and
citizens occupy a large portion of It.
"We were surprised to find It so cold
in Italy when we first lnnded, and so
posted off south across the Mediter
ranean to Algiers and later went five
or six hundred miles up the Nile. Here
we experienced our first tropical weath
er and also a simoon, which, as a sand
storm, Is all that Is claimed for it. Dust
In America is not -sand In Africa; there,
a simoon rolls up a hurricane of sand
ns line as Hour, which Is unreslstlble
and of a volume as dense as rain.
"In Syria we saw a strange people
and a country both barren and verdant,
especially Illustrated along the Judean
mountains, whose sides are cleared of
trees by fire, and of rocks by storm
and ages. All that Is beautiful seems
to have been pushed by the elements
down Into great, beautiful valleys, un
occupied even by scattered dwellings.
An Armenian Episode.
"We arrived In an Armenian port
three days after the bombastic governor
of the province had been treated to a
samr.'le kf AmeMcan 'liberty by. old
Admiral Klrkland, nnd had been told
thnt 'he would get his d old town
pulled down on his ears' If there was
any more persecution of American
subjects. Maybe the old admiral's lan
guage was not choice, but It was em
phatic, nnd made American travelers
feel quite comfortable. Here we wero
in a party of thirty or forty, which In
cluded several counts and other titled
persons of France and Germany, and
with whom we noticed no absence of
deference and respect to Americans.
It was a pleasant party and nil wero
travelers. Together we chartered a
special train Into the Interior, and were
accompanied, at his own request, by an
officer, whose rank Is similar to that
of a chief of police. He talked no Eng
lish and we talked no Turkish, so we
did not quarrel.
"From Aslastlo Turkey we came
homeward, doing Italy, I'russla, Ger
many and France. In the larger
cities, like Paris, Berlin and Vienna,
we made stops of from one week to ten
days, finally reaching London, when
we made our last long stop."
To the .reporter Mrs. Boles remarked
that to her the dearest sight on the
trip was Handy Hook, nnd behind it
New York Bay, with its green sldeB and
here and there the stars and stripes
fluttering forth a welcome.
