STQUWil
WILL WEH CHANGES
Pears of What the New Teachers'
Committee Will Do.
MAY SQUAKE OLD ACCOUNTS
Board of Control Commit teo Meets To
nightIts Member Are Antl to Last
Year's Kuling lactioa-Teacbera
and Individuals Are Anxious.
Th? teachers' committee of the board
of control Is lit a predicament over ap
pointments for the next school year
and will try t sift down scores of ap
plications to tit the few vacancies that
exist.
The committee meet tonlsht and its
deliberations would be unhampered but
for the fact that many teachers have
asked to be assigned to new schools,
controllers have requested changes, in
fluential citizens have urged the ap
pointments of disengaged teacher
while scores of personal applications
have been made.
The report of the teachers' commit
tee Is considered the most Important
work of the body during the year; at
least the result Is anxioutiy awaited by
the teachers themse'ves and persons
who have championed their interests.
It Is seldom that tuie report falls to be
accepted, for the reason) that If a
change or two is made it leaves Just so
many vacancies, which entails consid
erable discussion and further tangle-
ment.
Rule of tho Post.
Th rule of past years has been to
please the controllers first, then he
Influential friends and finally the
teachers themselves, but it Is also true
that in recommending its appointments
the committee has always considered
the ability of the teachers and 'the best
interests of the schools.
This year's teachers' committee Is
composed of John H. Williams, of the
Fifteenth ward, chairman; C. H. Von
Storch, of the Second ward; H. J.
O'Malley, of the Third ward; W. S.
Watrous. of the Tenth ward; John P.
Mahon, of the Sixth ward; F. S. Barker,
of the Seventeenth ward, and C. J. Con
rad, of the Eleventh ward.
The majority of these members are
antl to the faction: which was the more
Influential previous this year's re
organization, and this fact has suggest
ed a probable departure, in one respect,
from Che custom of previous years.
Rumor has It that the members of the
committee individually have been at
odds and ends with last year's ruling
faction on account of the forthcoming
appointments, and that to settle old
scores the present committee, which
feels that it has the opportunity, will
square accounts by giving the schools
a house cleaning'.
Will Changes Do Made.
For the past few days there have
been constant button-holings and the
working of many a seductive pull by
the controllers who this year are out
In the cold. Men conversant with city
affairs say, however, the report of the
committee will result in sweeping
changes. This view has been so gener
ally accepted that controllers and teach
ers alike are with much Impatience
waiting the committee's findings'.

Death of Mrs. Jessie D. Coaaell a Sad Sar-
- prise to Her Many Frieada.
The new of the death of Mrs. Jessie
XX Connell. at the home ot her parents,
corner of Prospect avenue and Genet
street, yesterday morning Is a painful
shock to the wide circle of friends
throughout the city. She was principal
of the primary department of No. 11
school, a position ah had held for
years, and when the s.-hool term ended,
she left for Beech Pond. Wayne county,
to enjoy a vacation. Monday, of last
week she took sick-and grew so serious
ly III that she was brought home Fri
day. She was a relict of John Connell, who
was outside foreman at the Meadow
lirook colliery of William Connell
& Co, Before her marriage she
taught school, and after her husband's
death she again entered the profession.
One son. John. 14 years old. Is left to
mourn her loss. She was the daughter
of Mrs. James Dyer.
The funeral will be held privately
Thursday afternoon from the late resi
dence, and Interment will be made in
Forest 11111 cemetery.
PlAX NOT PRACTICABLE.
So Decided Committee of Select Council
Abont Robinson street Improvement.
Another sprat? has been manufac
tured for use In the Itoblnson street
pave legislation wheel, this time by
the streets and bridges committee of
silect council, and will surely be In
serted at the next meeting of that
body.
The people of the West Side nro
clamoring for a passable outlet to the
central city. Robinson street is the
main connecting thoroughfare, but this
street Is In bad shape. It Is narrow,
rutted and of uneven grade. Recently
after a flcht of over twJ years the West
Side board of trade was sueeewsful In
obtaining a majority of the names of
property owners on Robinson street to
s petition, asking for the paving of the
street. The Traction company's tracks,
in their present position, are a barrier,
but the street car corporation consent
ed to move them from the side to the
center of the road. Then Common
Councilman Nealls introduced a meas
ure Into his branch calling for the Im
mediate grading of Robinson street,
preparatory to paving the same and
adjoining streets.
Action of Select Council.
The measure went Into select branch,
and last Thursday night that body au
thorized Its street and bridge commit
tee to meet and look over the ground
for the proposed Improvement. This
was done yesterday. Every member of
the committee, C. K. Chittenden, Flnley
Ross, John E. Roche, Horatio Fellows
and Victor Lauer, accompanied by the
city engineer. Common Councilman Jo
seph Oliver, D. M. Jones, Fellows Ma
son, M. Wymbs, A. E. Morse, of the
West SKle board of trade, and Common
Councilman P. J. Nealls. locked over
the ground yesterday afternoon. The
meeting was disastrous to the West
Siders.
Mr. Roche declared that the plans
were decidedly Impracticable and the
other members, except Mr. Fellows,
with one accord, registered their dis
approval against the present plans for
paving. Mr. Phillips' Idea is to have
N'inth street, from the northerly Inter
section with Robinson, filled In as far as
about ISO feet from Jackson street.
This Ailing will break opposite the Con
nors' property, and from that point
Ninth street wilt gradually slope south
erly for 150 feet, when the filling will
end. A retaining wall will run on the
extreme easterly side of the filling to
Its full length. This .-all will reach far
up to the porches of at least seven
dwelling houses on Ninth street. The
estimated damage to property is about
110,000, but Mr. Ross thinks $100,000
would approach the final cost. At the
Intersection of Jackstn and Robinson
streets the same filling and damage
creating plan has been adopted.
Measure Will lie Killed.
At the next meeting of the select
branch the committee will recommend
killing the present ordinance, on the
ground of impracticability of design Mr.
Chittenden suggested that the retain
ing wall be tulK at the western ex
tremity of Robinson street, not on
Ninth, and have the latter street run
about as It Is now, having out any
filling. In any event the present meas
ure will be slaughtered by the select
fathers.
After thus disposing of Robinson
street the committee visited Swetland
street, where the widening is proposed.
FENDERS RECOMMENDED.
Verdict of Coroner's Jnry In Matter of
Death of Margaret Moron.
Concerning the death of Mrs. Mar
garet .Moran, who was run down and
killed by a trolley car In Mlnooka last
week Wednesday night, the coroner's
Jury last night met and decided upon
a verdict of which the following Is an
excerpt; "We are of tho opinion that If
the cars of the company were equipped
with fenders and If cars were run more
frequently and at a slower rate of
speed the liability to such accidents
would be lessened."
The Jury heard evidence In the case
Saturday night. Tho testimony was
conflicting; one class of witnesses In
dicated that tho car was running at
a high rate of speed and gave no warn
ing signals, while others testified ex
actly to the contrary.

MANAGER LAINB ASSAULTED
Comedian Adams and Tenor Scarborough
Vm1 Their Fists on Hlm-MUs O Ill
ma a Regrets That She Coald Hot
Tako a Hand In the Fray.
Like the harps that once through
Tara'a hulls, the tuneful muslo of the
opera "Amorlta," which was so de
lightfully tieard Monday night, at Lau
rel Hill Park pavilion, was as silent
last night ws It its soul were dead.
Last week the company c;ang"The Bo
hemian alii." and on Saturday night a
week's salary wa'.'. dui the singers, but
the ghost did mot walk; Manager Lalne
promised to pay them on Monday, and
all went well. 'Monday cam and fix
shadow of the proverbial ghost was
anywhere. However, the singers did
not make stern demand on Monday, ex
pecting that for sure yesterday Man
ager Lalne would be on 'hand with their
salaries.
When- the hour arrived for the cur
tain to ring up last night, Mr. Scarbor
ouRh. leading tcmor, and Miss Olllman,
lending soprana, In the center of itho
chorus group, waited behind the scenes
and informed Mr. Larie that a word
with him would be timely. The man
ager arrived and was 'asked when the
silver question was going to be fettled.
He asked them for a few days of grace,
but they were resulute, and Mr. Lalne
left them for the time being. He went
out among the audience and hud a talk
with General 'Manager Ileetem, of the
Traction company, requesting a tem
porary loan of Slf0 to puy the company
and let the music ring. Mr. Beetem did
not have that amount with him, but
promised to give Manager Lalne the
money in t'he mornlr.'g. That would not
do, and thcresult was the refusal of the
company to sing unless the money were
pald;before they went upon the stage.
Hicy I'scd Their Flstt.
A scene followed. Comedlnn Adama
Jumped up and made a pass at Man
ager Lalne, but a railing between them
prevented any bloodshed. Mr. Scar
borough took a hand In to quiet the
debate, but had to apply a vigor
ous left hander to Mr. Lalne before
anything like order was regained. Mr.
Beetem Is authority for the statement
In regard to Manager Lalne's request
for a loan.
Miss Gillman gave a very breezy In
terview concerning the trou'ile, and
she said that the only time she ever
regretted that Clod made her a woman
was when Manager Lalne notified the
company that he could not pay them.
She said, "If I only had a pair of bloom
ers on, I would have smashed In his
face; the only thing that saved him
from my fists was the fact that I am
In 'petticoats."
She said he brouRht the company on
here with the promise that the Scran
ton Traction company would pay the
expenses. Mr. Scarborough corrobor
ated her statement. They have not re
colved a cent of salary, and now some
of the chorus girls are penniless and
stranded away from home.
Dcnefit forChornl Girls.
Miss Gillman and Mr. Scarborough
have decided to go back to Ne,W;York
this morning. As the reporter was
leaving Mr. Scarborough said with a
sarcastic smile, "You might suggest in
your paper that a benefit be given for
the chorus girls, for they have not a
cent and cannot get a position scarcely
anywhere now, as all opera companies
are filled."
TELEPHONE ORDINANCE.
Considered Favorably at a Mooting of
Select Council Committee.
An Important meeting of the Judi
ciary committee of select council last
night considered the Interstate Tele
phone company franchise, agreed to
report .favorably upon the amendments
made to the measure by the common
branch and decided to recommend that
the franchise be so worded that the
Interstate company must comply with
all ordinances which have or which
may be passed by councils Irrespective
of the measure now on Its passage.
When the franchise was passed with
out debate or deliberation by the se
lect branch several months ago much
comment was occasioned by the fact
that In their hurry to finish the meeting
many of the members voted "aye"
without being aware of the measure,
while those who anticipated its ap
pearance, of course did not open debate
upon It.
Considered It I'svorohlv.
On the following morning The Trib
une contained detailed mention of the
company and its franchise, which pro
vided no compensation to the city In
return for practically an unlimited
privilege to erect polca and string
wires wherever It pleased.
' When the papers were read In the
common brarjh Mr. Seamans was pre
pared for It and offered eeveral amend
ments, which were referred to commit
tee along with the franchise. The
amendments provided that tho com
pany should not charge more than $30
per year for ea'h telephone nor attach
more than two to each line; that It
should be built to serve at least 300 sub
scribers, and that within six months
after receiving the franchise It should
have Its exchange nI llrnea estab
lished and be prepared to furnish a
service at least as good as that of the
company now operating In Hcranton.
The most Important of tho amend
ments was one compelling the Inter
state company to file a bond In the sum
of 110,000 to comply with the provisions
or forfeit the franchise.
Mr. Seaman.' Amendment.
Tho measure as amended passed' the
common branch, and last night the se
lect body's committee considered It fa
vorably and will so report, along with
a separate resolution that before the
mayor signs the franchise the company
sh.U file Its agreement with the city
clerk. This resolution will effectively
prevent the using of the franchise for
speculative purposes.
The committee also considered the
long unsettled damage claims ot John
Conway against the city.
GEIBIG WILL CONTEST.
Bearing In the Cast Had Ofor Register
of Wills Hopkins.
Before Register of Wills Hopkins yes
terday there was a hearing In the pro
ceedings which seek to have the will

MEARS BUILDING IRON.
Arbitrators Ar Asked to Ssy What It Wss

and Byron Akerly yesterday l.i the arbi

by the defendant the plaintiffs did not
live up to their contract.
AN OVERHEAD VIADUCT.
Plans for It Ar llolng Prepared by City
Engineer I'lillllpN.
Plans for an overhead viaduct from
the western end of the Linden Street
bridge to the old Swetland Street bridge
are being prepared under the direction
of the city engineer. Detailed mention
ot the scheme was made in The Trib
une several weeks ago, when It was
stated thait the proposed grade on Swet
land street was Impratlcal and would
render the bridge little more than a
colossal and expensive monument.
Tht ovciihad viaduct, as being
planned, will not permi t direct approach
from the territory benath It, but this
obstacle will be overcome by provi
sions for a masonry nub-approach from
the alley west of and parallel to Sixth
street. The plans when completed will
show this sub-approach south of the
brUigo line and extending eastward at
a slight grade, thence northward and
connecting with the bridge proper at
the abutment.
Consider It a Serious Problem.
Many councllmen and West Side resi
dents, especially those having business
Interests along Swetland street, consid
er tho proposed grading of Swetland
street a serious problem. If the "dip"
between Seventh and Eighth streets is
filled, thjy claim it will create many
thousand dollars of damages; again,
they contend that without a fill the
grade will not be feasible unless the
filling Is so great as to virtually render
useless the brewery and other proper
ties affected.
Fill or no fill. It is claimed that the
city would waste Its money to purchase
the necessary 10-foot strip of land along
the northerly side of the street.
I'risc Imraediuto Acceptance.
The viaduct advocates urge Immedi
ate acceptance of their ideas, and with
some reason, as It Is rumored that
within two years the Robinsons pro
pose building several tall brewery
ctructures along the viaduct line. In
such case the overhead plan would be
prevented for all time, unless the city
felt itself able to pay from $150,000 to
$200,000 for the brewery property.

PARRETTD THE MERER
So Said the Coroner's Jury in the
Michael Demarho Case.
SOME VERY STRONG TESTIMONY
Two Witnesses Swor Positively That
They Saw Porretto plnag Uls Stllette
Into the Bresst of ths Dead Man.
Accused Says Us Usd No Halts.
There Is no doubt that Pascon Par
ret to is the murderer of Michael De
marko. The testimony taken at the In
quest held In the court house last night
established that fact beyond the shad
ow of a doubt, and corroborated in ev
ery Important particular the facts set
forth In the story of the murder printed
in The Tribune Monday morning.
Nicholas Demarko, brother of the
dead man, and John Corello swore posi
tively that they saw Parretto strike
Michael Demarko with his stiletto. This
took place close to the door at the side
of Carzlnto's house. Several other wit
nesses swore they saw 'a long stiletto,
which Is variously described at from 12
to 16 Inches in length, In Parretto's
h.E.nd. The latter was sworn and posi
tively denied that he had a knife in- his
hand during the fight or that he Injured
anyotfe.
District Attorney John R. Jones was
present at the Inquut Und assisted
Coroner Kclley to examine the wit
nesses. CouMty Detective Lcyshon wus
also in attendance. The verdict of the
Jury was that Michael Demarko came
to his death from a stab wound inflict

In his h'and. Witness tried to get the
men out of the house, and just then Pas

swinging a long stiletto. He was put
ting Parretto out pf the house when
Demarko fell dead at his feet, but tie
did not see who struck the fatal blow.
He recognized a knife handle in the
coroner's possession as the handle of
Parretto's stiletto. He had seen It
often, a Parretto boarded with him.
Pascon Parretto was the second wit
ness and he told a rambling story about
the trouble. He denied that he stabbed
'Michael Demarko, who, he said, was
aimed with a razor, while Nicholas De
marko had a knife. He was the only
one in the room who was weaponless,
ar.d at one time five men had him
against the wall slashing at him with
knives and razors. The cut on his ihead
was Inflicted by Angelo Carzinto; that
on his breast -by Nicholas Demarko,
and the one on his leg by Domlnlck Der
nao. After he was shoved out of the
house by Carzinto, he saw Michael De
marko standing outside and told him
not to go in, for he would get hurt if
'he did. He declared that he never be
fere saw the k-nlfe handle in the coro
ner's possession,
Saw Parrcto with the Stiletto.
Domlnlck Dernao eaid tha t John Cor
ello and Mike Rich were joking about
who had the most money, when Charles
Warder Interfered and Insulted Cor
ello. Warm words followed and Peter
Parette drew out a knife. PascoPar
retto ran upstairs and came down'with
his revolver and stiletto. The revolver
he gave to Charles Warder. Witness
ran out of the house without coat or
hat and a minute later these articles
were thrown out aCi-er him. While he
was putting on his coat he heard shots
fired, and then the door at the side of
the house opened and Mike Demarko
came out and fell down. A moment
later Nicholas Demarko and John Cor
ello came out. He did not see the fatal
blow struck or observe either the mur
dered man or his brother with knives.
Nicholas Demarko swore that he saw
Parretto stab his brother, Michael
Demarko. The latter had done nothing
to him and there was no trouble be
tween them so far as he knew. Par
retto went upstairs and got a knife and
revolver and gave the latter to Charles
Warder.
Corello Saw Blow Strnck.
John Corello also swore that he saw
the blow struck by Parretto, which
erded the life of Michael Demarko.
Jcseph Laruss saw Parretto with the

stabbed a man with a date pick about
two years ago.
