WILL DR. ROBINSON DO IT
He Must Personally Present His
Charges, Says Mayor Connell.
MR. GUERNSEY WAS NOT HEARD
Visited Mayor Connell as Or. Robinson'
Agent but Would Not Be Responsible
for the Charge-lie was Refused
Formal Recognition Yesteaday.
A peculiar condition of affairs has
aeveioped In connection with the pulpit
charge of Rev. Dr. Charles E. Robinson
asamst some unknown police officer.
It was thought that some definite ac
tlon would follow the siskins- of nffl
davits of denial by the policemen in the
mayors office Tuesday afternoon, but,
as predicted In The Tribune. Dr. Rob
inson yesterday relegated his respon
sibility :n the matter to J. W. Guern
sey, an officer of the Second Presby
terian church. Mayor Connell refused
to recognise Mr. Guernsey as sponsor
tor ur. Robinson's utterance that
certain Scranton policeman had led
young men to houses of Infamy." The
mayor was disposed to Ignore Dr. Rob
inson's charges after 9 o'clock last
night, but has extended the time until
10 o'clock this morning.
However, after a conference among
ur. RODinson and some of his friends
early last evening, The Tribune se
cured enough information to warrant
the assertion that Dr. Robinson decided
not to personally place before the mayor
this morning the affidavits and other
evidence. Ihls course was sanctioned
and even advised by his friends.
Summing up the whole matter and
all the facta obtainable, up to a late
hour last night. Mayor Connell's efforts
to have Dr. Robinson prove his state
ment will prove unavailing. Meanwhile
every member of the police department.
from Chief Simpson down to the new
est recruit among the patrolmen, will
be under the ban of suspicion until Dr,
itomnson nimaeit laces tne music or
finds some friend to reiterate his (Dr.
Robinson's) charge, and then come for
ward and make an attempt to prove It.
Dr. Robinson Was Busy.
At 130 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
while Dr. Robinson was engaged with
someone in his study, the telephone
rang. Mrs. Robinson answered the call
which was from the mayor's office. The
mayor's secretary was talking, and re'
quested that Dr. Robinson be called to
the telephone. He was too busy, was
the reply. Mrs. Robinson was asked to
tell the doctor that Mayor Connell, or
his secretary, had been In the office
since 1.30 o'clock In the morning await
lng a visit or word from the doctor In
response to the policemen's resolution
demanding that he substantiate his
charge.
Mrs. Robinson left the telephone, but
returned in a moment and said that the
doctor would attend to the matter later.
Mayor Connell then prompted his sec
retary to ask Mrs. Robinson to inform
her husband that he (the mayor) would
remain In his office until I o'clock; If
t)r. Robinson did not appear before that
hour with the name of the accused
policeman and the names of the young
men upon whose evidence Dr. Robin
son made his pulpit assertion, then he
(Mayor Connell) . would Ignore any
further attempt on Dr. Robinson's part
to specify the charge. Tne reply came
back that Dr. Robinson was obliged to
attend an important prayer meeting In
his church last evening and It would be
Impossible for him to see the mayor.
Thus the telephone conference ended.
- During the day four of the young
men upon whose Information Dr. Rob
inson made his pulpit charge were
closeted In Alderman Fuller's . office
with the alderman and two officers of
the Second) Presbyterian church. They
signed their names to four sworn affi
davits containing specific charges.
Thsv Celled en the Msvor.
In the afternoon the business of
placing the matter before the mayor
was relegsted to Mr. Guernsey by Dr.
Robinson, probably after the telephone
conversation between the mayor's sec
retary and Mrs. Robinson. At 5.15
o'clock Mr. Ouernsey, accompanied by
Alderman Fuller, called at the mayor's
office. Alderman Fuller explained tnat
he was not present as an offioial, nor as
a representative of the Second Presby
terian church, nor as one directly in
terested In the controversy; he remark
ed to the mayor that he was present
simply as a friend of Mr. Guernsey,
who had called at his office and had re
quested that he accompany him.
"I come here," said Mr. Guernsey to
the mayor, "as Dr. Robinson's repre
sentative and a member of his cong "
Do you come," decorously Inter
rupted the mayor, "as one prepared to
reiterate the charge made by Dr. Rob
inson?" No, I do not."
Do you know anything about tne
truthfulness of the charge?"
"No."
"Then I must decline to listen to you
as a first party In this matter," said tne
mayor.
"I don't desire to be known as a 'first
party,'" explained Mr. Ouernsey; ."I
am merely Dr. Robinson's representa
tive; I have made no charge, nor can
do so."
"Then you cannot expect to have any
discussion with me," said the mayor.
If you wish as a cltlsen to discuss th
matter, I am at your service; but as a
mouthpiece (pardon the application) or
as a medium. I decline to recognise
you."
You, sir, are obliged to recognise
me. 1 have witn me the affidavits and
names of Dr. Robinson's Informants
and the name of the accused officer.
You are bound"
Response ef Mayer Coanelf.
"I am neither 'obliged' nor 'bound' to
recognise you, nor to be butldosed by
you," retorted the mayor with consid
erable warmth. "You say you will not
reiterate Dr. Hoblnson's charge and
that you have no knowledge of Its
truthfulness, nod while your assurance
and that of Dr. Robinson, In this eon
nectlon, la refreshing, It will not serve
Its desired purpose. I shall not permit
you nor any other person, excepting Dr.
Robinson, who alone la responsible for
his utterance, to appear as chief In this
matter. This office has not been closed
since 1:10 o'clock this morning, but
during that Interval Dr. Robinson has
net appeared. My effort to ascertain
by telephone his Intentions have been
unavailing; he has not even told me be
would attempt to put you forward as
bis medium. Even my willingness to
be in this office from 7:30 to 9 o'clock
or later to-night has not moved htm. I
believe I would be Justified now in In
forming htm that I will ignore his
charge altogether If he falls to person
ally place before me the names and
affidavits or what else he possesses in
the way of evidence before a reasonable
hour to-night."
Mayor Connell explained that he
would not have insisted upon an 1m
mediate investigation If Dr. Robinson
had not been prepared, but he would
Insist upon the Information being made
by the proper source at once.
Mr. Guernsey then abandoned the at
tempt to deliver the information as the
representative of Dr. Robinson and the
conference turned to a consideration of
a period of time In which Dr. Robinson
should appear. It was amicably agreed
that by 10 o'clock this morning Dr.
Robinson should present the affidavits
and other Information, the mayor re
marking that In the event of Dr. Rob
inson's failure to appear his charge
Bliould be Ignored. '
Dr. Robinson Will Not Appear.
On leaving the mayor's office, Mr.
Guernsey went to Dr. Robinson's house,
told htm the mayor's ultimatum and
repeated what had been said In the
mayor's office. Dr. Robinson did not at
once decide upon what course to pur
sue, nor would he later In the evening
discuss with a Tribune reporter Mayor
Connell's ultimatum. One of his friends
and an officer of his church Is, however,
responsible for The Tribune's Informa
tion that he will not appear In the
mayor'B office at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Last night the weekly prayer meet
lng and monthly gathering to hear
various missionary reports, termed a
'concert,' was held In the church lecture
room. The attendance was so large
that almost every chair was occupied.
Many came expecting Dr. Robinson to
make some reference to the police con
troversy. He did not refer to It In any
way Curing the meeting, but afterward
was one of a group of prominent
churchmen who stood discussing the
matter near the exit.
It was noticed after the meeting that
the conversation among those passing
from the church or standing In groups
in the lecture room was almost wholly
devoted to the pastor's pulpit charge
and the turmoil following It Home
thought Dr. Robinson's method of pro
nouncing the charge was bad Judg
ment, many hoped to hear the contro
versy continued to a definite result,
others hoped to see the matter smoth
ered, but all deplored, as one woman
said, that "the doctor had gotten Into
such an awful mess."
Would Not Discuss the Matter.
Dr. Robinson firmly and flatlv re.
fused to discuss further the matter. He
complimented The Tribune In reporting
so correctly the case as It developed
Tuesday, remarked that the prayer
meeting had been Interesting and asked
the reporter if he enjoyed It, and If
ho was a Christian. These comments
and questions he made and asked In
response to the urgent queries rela
tive to the course he would follow In
view of Mayor Connell's refusal to deal
with Mr. Guernsey. He would not say
he was undecided or that he had not
fully considered the new phase of the
case; he simply refused te discuss It in
any light
The names of the four young men who
have made affidavit and of a few of
their friends who used to be In the
parties who went roysterlng about the
city, and the names of the accused offi
cers are known at police headquarters.
Of the young men the name of one
of them is on the police record. He
was arrested during last winter while
participating In a drunken brawl in a
disorderly house. Whether he is one
of the four who signed the affidavits
cannot now be stated.

AH OVERSIGHT GCCORREO
Somebody Blundered la the High
School Heating Matter.
TRYING TO PLACE THE BLAME
Responsibility Could Net Be Fixed on
th Supervising Engineer or Any
body Else, So the Committee
Shoulders the Burden Itself.
It has Juat leaked out that a serious
delay to the new hich school building
waa threatened by a misunderstanding
about the steam heating.
So serious e.n aspect did this affair
assume that the supervising engineer,
Fred P. Smith, of New York city, was
summoned here yesterday to meet with
the officials of the 8team Heat and
Supply company. Hunt & Connell, the
contractors, and others Interested. A
meeting was held last night In the
board of control rooms, at which there
was present A. E. Hunt, of Hunt &
Connell, ex-Judge H. A. Knapp, solici
tor of the board, Superintendent of
Schools G. W. Howell, A. B. Stevens,
manager, and Ira T. Holly, engineer of
the Scranton Steam Heat and Supply
company, Mr. Smith, the supervising
engineer, and Messrs. T. J. Jennings,
W. J. Welsh, C. H. Von' Storch, Her
man Nots, W. G. O'Malley and F. L.
Wormser, of the high school commit
tee.
It appears from what came out at
the meeting that the board and Mr,
Smith were at variance concerning the
responsibility of an oversight costing
In the neighborhood of 11,000, which was
occasioned by the change In the sys
tern of heating made last July. The
original planB called for local boilers for
supplying the steam, but a good offer
being received from the Steam Heat
company, the board decided to substi
tute this means of supply, and secured
the consent of Hunt & Connell and Mr.
Smith to make the change. The plans
were altered by Mr. Smith and every'
thins relating; to the generation of
steam was stricken out of the con
tract, the board receiving a rebate of
13,400, which It was estimated vas what
the local steam generating plant would
cost
One Important Matter Ignored.
But during all their meetings and
lengthy deliberations over the change
one very Important matter escaped
their attention. According to the offer
of the Steam Heat company it pro
posed only to carry the steam as far as
tho walls of the building. Air. nmun
thought that the steam heat people
would take care of the connections
and the disposition of the steam
and condensed water before It
entered the sewer. The board took It
for granted that Mr. Smith figured on
doing this thing at his own expense
when he acquiesced to the agreement
Contractor Conrad . Schroeder being
ready to commence the plastering a
short time ago, made a request for
steam.' and then the difficulty, which
became apparent shortly after the July
meetlnm. demanded attention. This
demand resulted in last night's meet
insr.
Mr. Jennings, who presided, caiiea
upon Mr. Smith for a statement. Mr.
Smith in response explained that to
make the heating system complete ap
paratus would be necessary for reduc
ing the pressure from twenty-five
pounds to Ave pounds before it was al
lowed to enter the radiators, a separate
line would be necessary for supplying
the engines and a plant would have to
be constructed for the purpose 01 re
duclng the heat of the exhaust steam
and condensed water from 212 degrees
to 112 degrees, the maximum heat at
which the city ordinance permits water
to be Injected into the sewer. These
additional items Mr. Smith supposed
the steam heat company would pro
vide, as, he says, is customary else
where. The steam heat company dis
claimed any such Intention being ex
pressed and Implied in their proposi
tion. Such additions are charged ex
tra for.
Mr. Smith on tho Rsck.
Then Mr. Smith was subjected to
some very pointed questions prepared
by Mr. Jennings, Mr. Welsh and Mr.
Werm3er, all of which tended to show
that the committee behind him was re
sponsible for the oversight and that he
should be held accountable for the ex
tra cost. Mr. Smith, however, com
batted their arguments successfully at
every point and did not hesitate to say
that the committee had In his eyes act
ed Indifferently In the matter up to that
time.
The outcome of the matter was that
the committee shouldered the responsi
bility, ordered the missing Items to be
provided for and directed Mr. Smith to
make plans for the necessary Improve
ments. At this juncture Messrs. Stevens and
Holly, of the steam heat company,
raised an objection. '1 hey claimed that
It would be only fair for Mr. Smith to
submit his plans for their approval be
fore they were submitted to the board.
They could not be expected, they as
serted, to allow their original offer to
hold good In view of the possibility of
Mr. Smith making specifications that
might Innure to their disadvantage.
Mr. Smith Informed the board and
Messrs. Stevens and Holly that he was
under bonds to do his work satisfac
torily and was not submitting his plans
to outsiders. .
The meeting broke up without any
love feast ending.

A strongly dramatic but not a nice
drama Is "The Husband" which Rob
ert Mantell and company presented at
the Academy of Music last evening. It
Is the story of a seafaring man who
returns home to And his wife, won from
him during his absence, dying as the
result of her sin with the portrait of the
man to whom she gave her love clasped
In her hands. Not until she was cold
In death did this husband, Captain
Henri Lefever, know that It was not
his portrait but that of the man who
had won her from him she had clasped
so fondly.
The grief and pain this dlsct very
brought to the worthy captain who had
promised himself a Joyous greeting on
his return from his two years' cruise
was finely depicted by Mr. Mantell.
All of this occurred In one of the small
coast dtles of France.
In the next act we find Captain Le
fever In Paris under the assumed name
fo Joan Petrovitch. He has turned
avenger and eeeks the destruction of
Gaaton De Vlgny, the man who dis
honored his wife and led her to death.
De Vlgny becomes his friend and Petro
vitch meets Mrs. De Vlgny whom he
determines to win from her husband
and dishonor as bit wife was dishon
ored that De Vlgny may. (eel some of
the exquisite agony he has caused
others.
The bogus Petrovitch wins the love
of Mrs. De Vlgny, morals to her the
despicable character of her husband
and she leaves him. A strong Inter
view between husband and wife follows.
De Vlgny grossly Insults and abuses
her, la reproved by Lefever's brother
and a duel followed during which
Lefever Is killed.
While this duel Is progressing un
known to Petrovitch the latter has de
cided not to fight De Vlgny because of
the blot It would necessarily leave on
the name of his dead wife or on the
fair fame of Mrs. De Vlgny, whom he
has grown to love most devotedly. As
he has determined on this good resolve
Mrs. De Vlgny brings him the Informa
tion that her husband In her presence
killed the younger Lefever In a duel.
Strangely enough De Vlgny is an
nounced at that very moment and of
all places In Petrovltch's apartments.
All the latter's good resolutions take
wings.
There must be a duel he says and he
sends Mrs. De Vlgny from him.
The duel la fought forthwith In his
apartments and De Vlgny's earthly
career Is ended. Turning from the dead
body Lefever tells Mrs. Do Vlgny that
In a year he will claim her as his wife.
At that point the curtain Is rung down
and the unlovely story Is at an end.
There are several stirring scenes in
the play notably In the third act where
Petrovitch tells Mrs. De Vlgny of his
love for her and recites the wrongs he
has suffered at the hands of her hus
band. This Is done knowingly In the
hearing of De Vlgny and when the lat
ter enraged springs forward his wife
spurns him and proudly declares her
love for the erstwhile Captain Lefever,
now Joan Petrovitch.
Mr. Mantell's work was excellent
throughout the shifting scenes of the
drama which carried him through the
whole gamut of passion. Members of
the company supporting him worthy
of mention were Erroll Dunbar, B. T.
Ringgold, E. A. Eberle, Edythe Chap
man and Kate Lester.
