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.

when thla year's rowlngacea come oft.
From several sections of the city the

ances of the Interest of rowing clubs

enthusiastic over this sport.

Pursuant to a call of President W. 6.
LaugHtan, the poor board met last
night to receive the report of the spe
cial committee appointed to devise a
new system of accounts for Hillside
Home.
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.

any but the first car could follow the
engine off the tracks. Luckily there
was no embankment or obstruction on
the side of the tracks upon which the
engine ran off. Nothing was damaged,
and with the exception of the alarm
which the sudden stoppage occasioned,
the passengers were not affected. An
other train was backed In from the
Delaware and 'Hudson road and the ex
cursionists transferred to their destina
tion. Engineer Smith nnd Fireman Joseph
Herbert say that when they backed in
their engine to get the excursion train
the switch was all right, and their be
lief Is that nmebudy by mistake or
through mischief turned the switch.
A wrecking crew from Carbondale
was summoned to right the engine.
