PRES. II.LSLEV'S REPLY.
lie Takes Kxceptlon to Three of the l our
Criticisms of the Board of Trado
The recent criticism of the Scranton
Traction company system which was
Included In a report of the pilic safety
committee of the bonrd of trade has
called forth the following communica
tion from J. P. Illsley, the company's
president:
The Scranton Traction company,
Scranton, Pa., March 21, 18.
To th Citizens of Scranton:
My attention has been called to the
report of a committee of the board of
trade upon the aiTuirs of this company,
saying upon investigation, etc., "It finds
several objections to the present sys
tem, but deems It wise to mention but
four of them at this time."
Now it Is fair play for a committee
representing such an important body to
make an Investigation, without consult'
ing either the manager of the company
or any of Its otllcers, and discussing
such suggestions as would, In their
opinion, he to the Interest of the public,
and ascertain how thev could be car
lied out? For whatever conduces to
the Interest of the public In getting from
one portion of the city to another is for
the interest of this company, and any
suggestion made to the manager will
be thankfully received, frankly dis
cussed, and, If practicable, carried into
effect.
The first suggestion. "An Insufficient
number of cars at certain hours." he
would show could not in nil cases be
avowed until lie nail the authority trom
tn,e ',!?r t0 1,1,11(1 ncl.iltli.nnl tracks
nh"r "! Pcnt tracks at those hours
' rowded to their full capacity.
. l"'"n '". r" WaH rer'
tn th," Vrt of the company,
UH J1"' w,,m ,s l,'m1 'lostroy the cars
and motors very rapidly, but In winter
weather, on the heavy grades of this
'lty. so many become Hat that all that
can be done is to be constantly renew
ing them, which Is being done.
The third, about the landing of pas
sengers at the terminals of the routes,
he could chiinge If desired by the larg
er number of passengers carried: but
J'lH.": f hnlon " la-
J,T'iy, .'l?.1" , " V'?r.h ,.hr ,,eBO!1,t, ,,,,r-
iiiiiiui u,. an unrri u muir ua innitf,
In answer to the fourth suggestion.
'I can only r fer to the rules of the
company, where conductors are held re
sponsible for any rough or profane
language upon the cars, which rules
are open for Inspection to anyone desir
ing to see them, nnd which nre rigidly
enforced. But It Is Impossible for the
manager to know of the 20.000 pas
sengers enrried dally upon the cars how
many used profane language or were
Intoxicated, unless some one Convers
; ant with the fuct Informs him. and
j whenever such information Is sent to
him measures are promptly taken to
j remedy the evil but In no instance has
! a report ever been made of a conductor
I being profane or Indecent.
' The rules of the company are framed
, to promote good order and nrotect the
j rights and feelings of all its patn ns.
and we ask the assistance of the public
; to aid in enforcing them. The general
manager is always ready to employ
the strong arm of the law whenever
occasion justifies, as what the company
desires Is good order, however obtained.

BROKE. IX I O TIIE OFFICE.
Thieves Gain' Access to the Safe of At

Thieves entered the law office of At
torney Oeorge D. Taylor in Liberty hall
during Friday night or early Saturday
morning. They gained access to the
office through a sky-light. The safe
door had been left unlocked, which per
mitted the visitors to ransack the con
tents. The papers were of a great deal
of value to the owner, but It could not
be stated by Attorney Taylor Saturday
that any of the documents were taken,
although they were scattered promiscu
ously about the office.
That same' nlsht a fruit stand kept
by an Italian near Liberty hall was
entered and a ouantity of fruit and

6RI$HK,r.3 HELD.
Coroner's Jury Hnds lllin. Responsible
for .Mick lis' Death.
An attempt to bribe witnesses at Sat
urday, night's coroner's Inquest Into
the death of John Mick us had its in
fluence, prouubly. In causing a verdict,
which holds John (irislika responsible
for his felloiv-Pnlandor's death. The
new evidence heard by the Jury was not
convincing In its expllcltness. but it was
very dnmuclng in its contradiction, so
much so that Coroner LoiiRstreet wus
satisfied that Orlshku was u murderer,
and he told the Jury so.
The jury required only a few min
utes to return their verdict to the effect
that a blunt Instrument In the hands
of (liishku had caused Mickus' death.
The jurors were Oeorge W. Keyes, M.
S. Matthews. J. l. Howell, Kvan J. Ev
ans. R. F. Mellon and Alfred O. Pace.
Mlckus' dead body was found with
Its forehead and face beaten almost to
a jelly lying beneath a Delaware,
lickawannu and Western culvert near
the Tripp homestead last Wednesday
morning. Ciishkn, with blood stains
on the luoel and skirt of his light col
ored overcoat, was esnied among the
crowd of curious spectators surrounding
the body while Coroner Longstreet was
conducting his Investigation, and as he
did not satisfactorily answer the coro
ner's questions about the blood stains,
; he was placed under arrest.
me attempt to orioe witnesses was
made by relatives of Mrs. Mlckus,
whose fondness for Grishka. It Is be
lieved, really led up to the crime. Their
efforts, were detected In the corridor by
Deputy t-'oroner Dr. Pennypacker out
side the arbitration room, where the
inquest, which wus continued from
Wednesduy night, was being held.' He
reported the occurrence to the coroner.
The bribers were not aoorehended, but
the circumstance was admitted in the
testimony of Willlum Hlack and An
drew (iordon, two witnesses who had
been approached.
THEY HAD QI'ARRELED.
It had been expected thatome con
clusive evidence would be heard show
ing that Mlckus and (Jrishka were out
together during the night of the mur
der, but County Detective Leyshon, It
was found, hud been unable to secure
such testimony. It was shown, how
ever, that Mlckus, his wife and their
lodge:'. (Irlshka, hud quarreled the
night of the murder.
Mis. Mlckus was the piincioal wit
ness. She made contradiction upon
contradiction of the time her husband
or (liishka left the house, and of the
hour they ate supper, but admitted that
Mlckus was angry and slightly intoxi
cated when he left
Previously she hud admitted to Coun
ty Detective Leyshon that the overcoat
on which the blood stains hnd been
found was worn by Rtishka the night
Mlckus met his death, although (liish
ka avers he had not worn the coat from
March II), pay day at the Krisbln mine,
until the day on which the body was
found.
Johnnie Mickus, the 10-year-old son
of Mickus, and a stepson of Mrs. Mick
us, testified that he was awake in bed
Tuesday night and heard his father
und Mrs. Mickus q'uurreling.
A number of other witnesses were
sworn. Their testimony, while throw
ing no light on the occurrences of Tues
duy night, in some Instances went to
show '.hut Mickus and his wife quar
reled constantly, and that (irlshka was
the cause of the trouble.
It aopeared that the nature of the
verdict was largely caused by Mrs.
Mickus' avowal that the garment that
was blood stained on Wednesday, was
worn by (irislika Tuesday night: by
Urishka's avowal that he did not wear
the coat until Wednesday, and by the
discovery of the attemnt to bribe the
witnessed.
