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'. FOl'RTH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT.

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. Quarterly Convention at Arohnald. A quarterly convention of the First district of the Hcranton Diocesan union will be held at Arc Win Id Sunday.

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.

A hearing in the case of the Potts vlllc Iron and Steel .company against John A. Mears took place before Arbi trators C. 8. Woodruff, T. J. Duggun and Byron Akerly yesterday l.i the arbi tration room.

There will be an other hearing on July 16. It Is claimed 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. JUDGE SIMONTON HERE. Heard Arguments in Two Cases That Were Tried Itefor Him. Judge SImonton came up from Har rinburg yesterday and heard arguments on motions for a new trial and judg ment notwithstanding tho verdict.

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 ed by I'ascon I'arrctto. Hearing the Testimony- Angelo Carzinto, the keeper of the boarding house where the fight occurred was the first witness examined. The trouble, 'he said, originated between John Corello and Charles Warder, and when his attention, was first attracted lo It Peter Parette had an open knife In his h'and. Witness tried to get the men out of the house, and just then Pas con Parretto appeared on the scene 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 knlfo, but did not see him use it. Warder and Pnrette are rtlll at large. The latter formerly kept a fruit stand on lower Penn avenue, where he stabbed a man with a date pick about two years ago. ' A New Enterprise. Mr. II. D.
