WILLIAMS LIQUOR KEN ORGANIZE About Forty of Them Become Mem bers of the State Association. GIGANTIC LOBBYING CONCERN National Organiser Nolan .'reservedly Explains the Purpose of Ihe Organi sation and ladnces Some Local Saloon Men to Form a Branca. About forty retail lkiuor dealers as sembled In Music hall yesterday after noon in response to a call Issued by Na tional Organiser P. II. 'Nolan, of New York, for the purpose of forming a branch of the association in this city. Aftor about ten declinations were heard Thomas Cosgrove agreed to ac cept the olllce of temporary chairman, and '1'utrlck Mangan took tho secre tary's desk. Mr. Nolan, who was pres ent, then proceeded to enlighten his auditors as U the purposes uf the Re tail Liuuor Dealers' association. Dolled down his speech waa simply u recital of the possibilities tf cuiitwlImB emo tions and Influencing legislation by sup porting strongly backed lobbyists In the uatlonal and state capItols. lie instanced numerous cases wherein tho attempted enactments of "cranks, lunatics and hypocrites." as he waa plt-used to term tliem. had been defeat ed by tho Liquor Dealers' association through their lobbyists. He argued that tho liquor dealer was a, standing mark for ambitious legislators, who took for grunted that it was Just ami proper to Indict any and all kinds of hardships on the liiiuor business simply because it was the lluur business and because the liquor dealer hud always borne It uncomplainingly. To Illustrate some of the benefits which the retail liquor dealer has already derived from the work of the association, ho men t'oned the recent attempt to Increuse the tux on whiskey from 90 cents to $l.5t per gallon, and described how the lobbyists of the New York state liquor dealers secured a compromise on $1.10. He also adduced arguments to prove that the retailer and not the whole saler or customer bore the additional rxpensa nnd derived the benetit of tho 40-cent reduction which the association secured. Saved a l ot of Money. I? the same method of reasoning he showed tlSat the retailer was saved fcJ2.0ou.000 la year by the defeut of the measure to increase the tax on beer from 1 to $2 a barrel, and also showed how another great saving was had by the overthrow of the bill to Increase the internal revenue tax from $-5 to $50. Ity combining the Influence of the Brewer's association, the Wholesale as sociation and the Retailers' association he argued tha,t legislatures would be compelled to pay heed to the behests of th liquor man. As another striking In stance of the effectual work of organ ized liquor Interests he cited the pres ent excise law of the state of New York, which he and four other liquor dealers drafted and succeeded in push ing throught the legislature. As a reason why Immediate action should be taken Mr. iNolan announced that the state convention of the Liquor Dealers' association would be held in this city during the latter part of next month. "When he concluded he asked for ex pressions from those present on the desirability of organlzlnga branch here. Patrick Golden said he favored an or ganization of this kind. iNo brewer or wholesaler likes to sell to spcak-easles, he said, but as long as one did It the others would do It. Mr. Nolan again took the floor and told how the state organization had, by request of the lo cal association in Allentown, induced the brewers and wholesalers to refuse to supply speak-easles and clubs In that city, and how their work had effectual ly wiped out the Illicit traffic In that city. .Mr, Goldcn's Speech. Mr. Golden then took occasion to score the high-toned saloonkeepers who were conspicuous by their absence from the meeting. "If one of us gets into a little trouble It would be a good thing to be organized so that we could have something to fall back on. These three or four central city men can do as they please, because as they say they have a pull with the Judges. I don't care, on iy account. I have made enough money now to do me. and . well I'm a little afraid of the law, but not much. But like everybody else, I want to make more money." Organizer Nolan Interrupted Mr. Golden at this Juncture with the re mark that tho Retail Liquor Dealers association was not organized to pro tect violators of the law, and any man who Intended to Join It with that end In view had better not make out an ap plication. Mr. Golden subnlded after he had expresped his belief that If the Scran ton liquor dealer.? should organize and stick together they could "block" nny representative or any Judge for that matter. Patrick Corcoran was named for tem porary treasurer and then the meeting proceeded to organize by collecting $2 Initiation from all applicants. Nearly every one present enrolled himself . II Wont to Wllkct-lliirro. Mr. Nolan li-ft lant night for Wllkes Barre to form a similar organization In that town. He slated that the Honor dealers are organized In twenty-four states of the Union. In this state there are branch asnoclatlons In thirty-eight of the Hlxty-ehrht counties. The Phila delphia branch has 1.342 members. New York state, where the organiza tion has been In existence twelve years, han a membership of 2S.000. Connecti cut, New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio. In diana and Illinois all have strong state organizations. The organization Is non-iwillfk-nl ond clalmst that It will net Inti-iept Itself In any legislation but what effects their own peculiar Inter ests. LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.

The committee, which consisted of Director Thomas Hhotten, T. J. Mur phy and Secretary K. J. Lynett, present ed their recommendations In a written communication, of which a copy is up petided; Scranton, Pa,, Aug. 27. lttij. To the Board of Director of Sci union Poor District: Your comm.ttee appointed to devise a syntem of accounts at Hdlalde home, Whereby the exact cost or the mainten ance ol Indigent Insane putlelit muy be ascertained, respectfully report that we have held neverul ueaaluiis and have given due attention to tho 'duty Imposed upon us. Thut we have adopted books of record a follows: A register of insane patients setting forth u history of each case. A roll of put ents designed to contain a record of the tiuiu spent by each patient ruled for a daily, monthly and quarterly report. Book for Special Cases. An attendant's report book for cases requiring special attention. A time book In which the time of em ployes of the district shall be kept and it- strthiiteil to the 'home or hospital as tho case may be. Wo una the uevtalng of a system of ac counts fur properly distributing accounts of purchase, farm products, etc., to be somewhat dllltciiU and believe that a sys tem developed by practical work would be more apt to apply In. all cases. Any plans Hint we may makeXnow would be apt to show defects whea submitted to practical feat, and a set of books gotten up ul considerable expanse might l of little or no value. The next flscul quarter of the common wealth commences on Sept. 1, and we con sider It Important that from that date tho accounts should be kept that the cost of maintenance of the Insane may be as certainable. We therefore recommend that the books of record devised by us as herein stated be adopted by the board and that a clerk be employed to commence work on Sept, 1 and keep accounts on loose sheets of paper until a proper system has been de veloped. The members of the board showed their appreciation of the committee's thorough and excellent scheme by unanimously adopting the following resolution: I'inonco Committee Intrusted. Resolved. That the finance committee Is hereby authorized and instructed to em ploy a competent clerk, to be located at Hillside home, whose duty It shall be to keep such accounts as will show the ac tual cost of maintenance of Insane In mates, render quarterly statements to the commonwealth, keep the records of the Insane hospital and perform such other duties as may be required of him. He shall bo in charge of the superintendent and his accounts and record shall always be open for Inspection by directors; the finance committee shall from time to time examine and pass upon his work. Ills compensation shall be $50 per month and board. The committee has not as yet an nounced their choice for the position created by the resolution. It will be a very desirable office and no doubt will not go begging. AN UNFILIAL SON. Goorgo Molllck.Jr., In Custody for Abus ing Ills Parents and Flrcbuggisra.
