He Charged Controller Jacobs wltb
Spcaklifl Untruths.
SATS THAT HE WILL SUE HIM
Exciting Episode That Followed Last
Night's Meeting of tho Board of
Control-Bids of Withers' Paper
' Company Not Considered.
A slander suit Is one of the likely out
comes of last uiiflU's meeting of the
board of control. W. H. Withers, of the
Wlthors Paper company, announced
that h? would today Institute criminal
proceeding against Controller C. S. Ja
cobs, who, ho alleins, accusal him pub
licly of admitting that he wns in the
habit of defrauding his customers by
making fnlse markings on paper which
he furnished.
What brought on tlw conversation in
which the alleged slanderous charges
reforred to wirv made vas the roport
of the supply committee-, which com
mittee excluded Mr. Withers" bids, ul
thoujrh udmittlni? that iwino of them
were the lowest proffered.
Tha contract! wore sought after by
four blddvrs: KeynuMs lirus., 11. H.
neUlleman. J. A. Scrairton & Sou, and
W. II. Withers. None of th; Seranton
Ac Son bids were the lowest, ami With
ers' bids were not conn'.di'tvd, so tho
contracts wore given to the other two
competitors according- as each had the
lowest bid cnt th vurl.uts article.
KoynoMs Bnvs. secured about three
fourths of the bus'ness.
Withers' Hid Not Considered.
In making the report. Mr. von Ptorch.
chairman of th. supply committee, an
nounced that still lower bids had been
received from th Withers Paper com
pany, but ow-injr to th unpleasantness
of last year th comnvttee had decided
to exclude Mr. Withe"' proposals.
After the meeting Mr. Wrthrra ami
Mr. Jacobs, controller from ths Six
teenth ward, and a member of the sup
ply committee, met In front of the press
table and entered Into a lively conver
sation. Finally they exchanged angry
words, the He ws given by M'. W'ltih
crrs. and a collision was only averted
by the retirement of Mr. Jacobs.
What M. Withers especially took ob
jection to was Mr. Jacobs' assertion to
the effect that when he (Wither) had
been called before "the committee to
substantiate his charge that the supply
committee was In collusion with Rey
nold 4 Bros., h i failed, and. furtVTmore.
that during the hearing he admitted
that he was li the custom of placing
fale weight and quality marks on hi
paper.
Said Ho Was a I.lnr.
Mr. Withers repeatedly called Mr.
Jacobs a liar during this recital, and
when he finished he again emphatically
and with his finger In Mr. Jacob's face
said, "You are a liar."
"You are a gentleman." said Mr.
Jacobs.
"Well you are not," rejoined Mr.
Withers.
Mr. Jacobs then said that evidence of
Mr. Wlthers'decelt was In black an!
white la the secretary's office, em
bodied In the stenographic rpports of
the meetinsr at which the admission Is
alleged to have been made.
Mr. Wlthors replied to this hy as
serting that he had engaged an ex
pert stenographer, to read Secretary
Fellows notes, and the secretary had to
admit that he had not Interpreted them
arierht to the committee.
"What I did admit," explained Mr.
Withers," was that while a manufac
turer In Wiikes-Barre I falsely marked
paper by order of Jobbers, who pur
chased from me and who could have
had any marking they desired put on
the paper."
When Mr. Withers remarked some
thing about the publlo being imposed
upon by the committee, Mr. Jacobs re
joined that the publlo was not de
sirous that the committee should deal
with such a man as Withers, or words
to that effect, whereupon Mr. Withers
became extremely wroth and exclaim
ed, "Your whole committee are liars!"
At this Juncture Mr. Jacobs withdrew
to another part of the rootn and Mr.
Withers, after making a comparison of
his own bids with those of the success
ful competitors, retired from the room,
promising -to let the public hear from
him. Later In the evening he an
nounced to a Tribune reporter that he
would begin proceedings against Con
troller Jacobs In the morning.
Mr. Mitchell .Vado Secrctnry.
Alt the openling of the aesslon of the
school iboard Olr. fMitr-holI, agalnat his
wiir, was unanimously directed to act

PROF. LEE IX THE CITY.
Came to Confer with Serantonians About
Pickinnon law School.
The matter of locating lev Seranton
the law department of IMcklnson col
lege, of Carlisle, will 'be dlwus-o-d by
the manufacturers' committee of the
beard of trade, and , Professor Cuy
Carleton Lee, of the Pleklnson law
faculty, at 4 o'clock tilils uXtenii-ooii In
the board of trade room
As far as the cUIpulatlons made by
the school are concerned, these ha"e
all been favorably oiH-.Hldered and only
the presence : forunton of Itev.
(U-orge II. Iteed, 1. IV. L.I P.. iresl
dent of the college, and lVare William
Trlckett. L.I.. I.. of the Jaw depart
ment, 'Will be required to closo negotia
tions for the transfer of the school to
this city.
Professor Iee reached "ranhin yes
terday and is nt the Wyoming-. It was
he who 'cwo weeks irjto mine here and
made the original proposition to trans
fer the P'.oklti.svin law department to
Sc rantca provided suit able quarters
wire offered fjr a detlnlte period and
contingent upon the asurance that the
tudent -should have anvss' to ithe
court rooms and legal records. The
H.ir asx!atlon umd the Judges vouched
for the Uitter proviso, amd to the tMiard
of 'trade -was referred the matter of
procuring rooms for the school.
On the sui'pvutton that today's con
ference between rrofes-Tr Ie and the
boiird of trade committee will result
fnvoralbly, the ai:rnounconient is nvtde
'Ihnt President Ued and Dian- Triekett
will come to 'Seranton on Thursday
with a view of possibly settling tho
matttT definitely.
The fact that the prelinvlnary r.egv
tia':ions have progressed favorably la
the only reason for assuming that the
school will be moved to iSorarutfon. The
same kind of investigation tending
toward the transfer of 'ihe school has
been made in o:her cities, of which
Pittsburg, on account of Its size and
court facllltlt i and the endeavor sf la
tluentlal citizens seems to be Scran
ton's most dangerous rival.
However, the visit 'here of President
Heed and Posit Tflckett Is practically
certain, and the supporters of the idea
will receive them well and ma.ke an
energetic effort to convince them of
this city's advantages and to a'ire
them that promises will be fullllled.
Beyond this, the outcome of the matter
will rfs-t with the reprcsemtatlves of
the college.
GIVES UP IN DESPAIR.
Mr. Oliver Abandons tho Swctland Strrcot
Viaduct.
At next Thursday night's meeting of
the common council Mr. Oliver, of the
Fifteenth ward, will move for a viaduct
over the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western tracks on West Lackawanna
avenue.
Yesterday he gave up all hopes of Ws
cherished idea of ooninectlng the Lin
den and Swetland srret-t bridges by an
elevated viaduct. He stiare.1 the gen
eral opinion that the el'ty had secured
r.'othlng but options in the land .needed
to connect the two bridges, but yester
day he discovered thvt the city had
purchased ailout $16,000 worth of the
land, that the conveyances had heen
made and the cash paid over.
The prchases were as fol'ows: Well
ington tstate, $469; Mrs. Zillath Price,
$6,000; W. T. Smith, $r,,94.B0; I. A.
Finch, $3,877.50.
It was agreed in. the Smith convey
ance, and It la to recorded to tho deed,
that no elevated viaduct can be bulrt on
the land. It was thought before It was
k.-rown by Mr. Oliver that the convey
finees had been made that there might
b tome possible way of getting over
the provls agsilnst the viaduct, but
njw thst the deeds have ibeen trans
ferred he gives up all hope.
Yesterday was the day set toy the
atreots and hridges committee of com
mon council to accord a hfnrlnjf to the
Robinsons and other property holders
interefitpd, but aa the council at the last
meeting tork the matter out of the
hands of the commdttee they could not
hold the consultation.

CAVEAT HAS-BEEN FOUND.
Proves That Attorney Akerly Is Innocent
of the rhnrgo Mado Against Him.
Deputy Register of Wills James Hop
kins, after a thorough nnd diligent
search through the musty records of
the office, found on Saturday afternoon
the caveat In the famous Nichols' will
case, and that removes the imputation
cast upon Attorney Byron F. Akerly,
who was deputy In the register's office
when the caven't was filed on Oct, 5,
18S6, of having thrown it In tho wa8te
bnsket. Yesterday, before Attorney J. Alton
Dnvls, master in partition In the estate
of Mrs. Hiram Nichols, James Nichols
was allowed the sum of $5,000 ns one
fifth of her estate. This Is a compli
cated case, but, briefly, the summary Is
this: Hiram Nichols and wife lived at
Clark's Summit and owned considerable
property. Bhe owned a large estate in
her own. right, and died without mak
ing a will. He made a will which dis
inherited one of his sons, James, there
being another son, Asa A., and three
daughters.
The litigation that ensued since the
death of the parents has gone a long
way toward eating up the estate in
counsel fees and court costs. The es
tate of the mother was settled up yes
terday, and had nothing to do with the
present trouble. Hiram iNlohols died
on flept. 29, 18S6. testate. On Oct. 5 the
caveat was filed In the office of Register
A. C. Atherton. nnd given to Attorney
Akerly. who wns then deputy.
He filed It according to laiw, but when
a search waa recently made for it, it
wns nowhere to be found. Ex-Register
Atherton swore that his deputy told
him he ithrew the caveat in the waste
basket. This created quite a sensational feel
ing against Akerly, but the finding of
the document exonerates him from an
uncomfortable position.
This caveat was (lied at the Instance
of James Nichols, the disinherited son,
and was to notify the register not to
admit to probate the will, as he Intended
to contest It.
CANCER OF THE TONGUE.

HAS SEVENTEEN INMATES.
Great Work That Is Being Bone by St.
Luke's Summer Home.
St. Luke's summer home at Lako
Ariel is now accommodating seven con
valescent women and eleven children,
ranging .In age from two to fifteen
years. In each case the persons enjoy
ing tho pure air, wholesome food and
comfortable quarters provided, has
been found on investigation to be very
worthy.
Tho time given each visitor ranges
from ten days to two weeks, depending
on tho nature of the case, and the time
of vlxlt may be extended If the houso
committee deem it necessary for the
complete recovery of the patient.
No more visitors can be accommo
dated until the time of some of the pres
ent Inmates expires, though there nre
numerous applications from worthy
women and children on file. Each will
bo given a cliunce to recuperate at tho
home as quickly ns room can be made
for them. The committee having the
home la charge feel very grateful to the
charitable friends who have so prompt
ly met their appeal for assistance,
though up to date there are many to
whom the appeal was sent who have
not responded. To these the committee
would respectfully say that "he who
gives quickly, gives doubly."
