MR. M0RAN HAS A
GIGANTIC SCHEME
Wants to Launch a Novel Newspaper in
New York City.
WILL BE PRINTED FOR BUSY MEN
Iutcnds to Seek the Aid of .Millionaire
John P. Itocknfcllcr in (letting His
Enterprise StartcdIIi Plan
Would Mean a Itcvolutiou in Jour
nulim--Oullinc of What He
Vnuy to Do.
I. J. Morun. known to his follows !u
th" local newspaper arena as "Putsy"
Moran (with the accent on the lust
syllable) intends to revolutionize newa
IMperdoni with one whack from his
vivid imagination. "There's millions
In it." said "Palsy" recently to a Trib
une reporter. Then lie went on to ex
plain. He Intends to go to New York
city and the first man he wants to
meet is John I). Hi;ckal'el(er. Thin Mr.
Mnrnn vW unfold Ills scheme for pl int
itiK the jrrcatest newspaper of the cen
tury and he will ask the New York
millionaire to back the enterprise with
his money. Air. .Moran will mipply' the
rest.
The idea Is to cnate n, newspaper
which will be a curtailed reproduction
of all the principal dallies In the world,
issu 'd on lite day in .which the oilier
papers appear only It will be .a few
hours later. These few hours will be
necessary tn obtain and reprint the
news of Its contemporaries.
An Illustration of the scheme Is this:
The New York Herald Is Isued at 4
o'clock a. m.; the "Herald editor" of
the P.Ik Paper will set one of the llrst
copies run off the Heradl press. This
he will take to his ollice and with scis
sors ii mi pencil, slue nud discretion
will rob the Herald of Its best ne.ws
items and n few hours afterword say
7 o'clock the Hig Paper will come out
with the Herald's own stories, printed
litter careful curtailment. The "Sun
editor" of the Ulg Paper will also and
nt the same time ns the "Herald man"
take one of th" freshest prints from the
Sun press and he. likewise, will dip
and curtail its principal news Hems.
And the "World editor," the "Adver
tiser man" nnd all the other fellows
will nt the same time be attending
to their individual assignments in the
same way.
UI'SINESS MAN'S VAPRK.
1 Jesuit: The His Paper will con.e
cut in lime for the business man's
breakfast and It will coiituln the glut
of all that's contained in the other
papers and at a price as low as uny of
them. .More than this, the Big .Paper
will also tslve the leading and mo-it
Important editorial utterances of its
contemporaries. If the Sun culls Cleve
land "a tin Rod," the Bin Paper will
echo "a tin Kod," mid Its readers will
know what Dona said almost as soon
us Dana himself said It. ' The Herald
may have a forcible urxiimeitt on the
silver Miiestiou. This the Hir Paper
will ifol.lile up and the Herald's thun
der will resound from the chief's sanc
tum soon alter the Herald attempted
to thunder.
lint the end is not yet. The stock
market limitations from the New York
dailies will be reprinted In parallel col
umns In the i'aper.
If the Herald says "1J(ii,i" and the
World !" the Hlu- I'aper will tell the
stock gambler how the papers differ and
he can place his money accordingly.
Moreover if the Herald prints the same
news item ns its contemporary, The
Tribune; mid If in that Item both impels
vary In some statements, the liisj- Paper
will note the Incongruity. An Item of
this sort would appear In the Mr Paper
somewhat as follows: "The Herald
says that Mis. John Jones, of Third ave
nue, fell fifty feet, (Tribune, 20 feet and
she was killed by forceful contract with
an Iron fence (Tribune says se did not
hit the fence but struck the sidewalk
and was not killed). So the P.lj? I'aiier
will have lots of fun and ran show
up the "letiubllily" of its dully news
market. Certainly there are not many
people. In New Yoik who care whether
Mrs. Jones struc k the fence or u Uow
ery policeman, but this Is for illustra
tion only.
The P.iir Paper Will ko farther. The
Times-Herald, away off In ChlcaRu will
also be rcKitlarly iiuoted. This Is pos
sible by the use of a special telegraph
direct wire from the Windy city to the
I '.Ik Papers' ollice.
A CHICA(K) EDITOR.
To do this it will be necessary tn have
a Times Herald editor nt Chicago, ji,.
will act as do his scissors brethren In
New York. Kvery other paper "in the
world" snys "Patsy" will receive simi
lar attention If its prestige, and influ
ence warrants the notice.
11 II be a great sc lie in that HJr
ru pern oiltee between the hnlirs of 4
nud S. Kverything hustling; machines
clicking, "devils" Hitting, und the voice
of the l.ditor in Chief bawling out: "Is
'I he Times Ileiald In?" or, "What's the
Matter with Dana?" "Where's 1'ulit-
zor. and the like.
Then when the papers are falling
from, tin; scores of presses and the
myriad of news boys are streaming from
the great basement, und the click of
the linotypes Is stilled, and the wearied
"editors" ure gone home, then the busi
ness man will be rubbing his eyes and
yelling like mad for the "only paper on
larth, as "Patsy" says. When he gets
It lie feasts upon the world's thoughts
and worlds' sensations all for two
cents.
Yes, "Patsy" will print original news
also. He will have all the local news In
New York city between the hours of 4
and 7. When the other papers stop he
will begin. "Put," asked the Tribune
man, "won't thos New York dailies
kick. 'Patsk'? Wont your paper hurt

their 'woopes.' If we miss them they'll
be only too glad to have us mention
their 'seoopes.' If we miss ttncni .they'll
feel slighted and that won't do you
know, he concluded with a smile.
Moran is an enthusiast over his new
scheme, and says he means to pusii It.
ST. CHARLES WAGS,
Piny a Cruel Joke 011 an I iiNtopicioim
tVlircluinn.
Home wags played a cruel juke on a
bicyclist In front of the St. Charles
hotel last night. A wheelman dis
mounted In front of the hotel, leaned his
bicycle against the railing and went
down Into the barber shop In the base
ment. Then the wags did their cruel
work.
One of thetn let the a If out of the
front tire, while another procured the
head of a tack und some mucilage. The
tack-head .was stuck on the tire and
the Jokers returned to their chairs to
await developments..
Mr. Bicyclist soon appeared at the top
of the steps and grasped his wheel pre
paratory to mounting. He discovered
the deflated tire and then the supposed
tack met his eye. Returning .the ma
chine against the fence and with his
countenance pale with rage tie faced
the party on the porch and exclaimed:
'Did any of you gentlemen see any
body fooling with my wheel?" He
placed a peculiar aqcent on the word
gentlemen.
Several volunteered the 'Information
that they had witnessed nothing.
The wheelman strode Inside and told
Proprietor Melvln that "Some ! !
had stuck a tack In his bicycle tire."
Mr. Melvln had not been posted. He
went outside with the now thorouchly
enraged wheelman and in the examina
tion of the supposed puncture the hoax
was discovered.
Mr. Bicyclist didn't say anything
until after he had inllated the tire and
was preparing to mount, when he re
marked: "Well, it's a good gag, anyhow. I'll
work It myself." 1

Warranto Proceedings Against a Winton
School Director and One Set of
Officers of the Board.
Two warranto proceedings were be
gun in court yesterday by James P. Mc
Andrew, 1!. J. Cummings, J. li. Sehnerr,
John Ward, and Kugene Taylor, mem
bers of the school board of Winton dis
trict, uguinst Harry Fletcher, William
Judge, John V. Harrett und John F.
Donnelly, praying the court to grant a
rule to show cause why Mr. Fletcher
shall not show by what authority he
claims to possess and exercise the ollice
of school director, and against Messrs.
Judge, Harrett and Donnelly to show
cause why the claim to exercise the
light of uctlng as officers of Winton
school board. ,
Attorney T. V. Pnwderly and City So
licitor J. II. Torrey represent the pluin
tilYs, and Uhiu filing the petition yester
day Judge ArchbuUI granted a rule for
a hearing oit Monday, August I", at a
a. 111.
Prior to Feb. (!, 1SMB, the school board
of Winton wus composed of six mem
bers elected from the district at large.
in that date the court of quarter ses
sions issued a decree directing that the
borough be' divided Into three wards,
und that thereafter the board be com
posed of nine directors, each ward to be
entitled to a representation of three;
and that at the election held on Tues
day, Feb. 1!). U. the voters in the dif
ferent wards should elect directors as
follows: First ward, two directors, one
for one year, and one for three years.
Second ward, two directors, one for one
year, and one for three years. Third
ward, one director for three years. The
decree provided that these elections
should not Interfere In any way with
the terms of directors already elected.
At the election held 111 the borough on
the third Tuesday of February. 1 stir..
James P. MoAmlrew was elected director
fur three years ami at the organization
of the board on the lirst Monday of
June of the same year he was duly
iiualllied and installed.
In accordance with the decree of
court the Republican voters of the First
ward met In caucus on Jan. 2", lsini, and
nominated J. H. Sehnerr for director
for one year nnd Kugene Taylor for di
rector for three years. The Citizens'
puny of the First ward held u caucus
on Feb. IS, 1s!i. and nominated Charles
H. Sutton for director for one year, and
Harry Fletcher for a term of two years.
The above certificates were duly re
ceived and tiled In the county commis
sioners' ollice, and thereupon the offi
cial ballot was prepared. In the llrst
column the nomination for school direc
tors was specified as follows:
SCHOOL DIRKCToRS (Mark Two.)
Kugene Taylor, three yeurs.
J. H. Sehnerr, one year.
In the fourth column on the ballot the
nominations for school directors were
snecllled ns follows:
SCHOOL I-I KKCTOUS ( Mark Two.)
Harry Fletcher, two years.
Charles II. Sutton, one year.
The result of the election was as fol
lows: Taylor, 44 votes; Sehnerr, 48
votes; Sutton, 4Ti votes; Fletcher, 4(1
votes.
The whole trouble now hinges on the
iiiesilon whether Taylor or Fletcher
was elected. On the first Monday of
June last the board met for organiza
tion and both of these gentlemen pre
sented their claims. The plaintiffs, of
which Mr. Taylor Is one, thought he wus
entitled to the seat and admitted him;
the defendants side with Mr. Fletcher
and both sides went on und elected offi
cers. They have plnce been meeting
and one wing of the board meets in one
corner of the meeting room and the
other wing meets In the other, and they
have been having a "You can't play in
our yard" time of It. The court will
now settle the vexatious question.

MAYOR CONFLICTS
WITH COMMITTEE
Each Is Trying to Handle the Turnpike
Controversy.
COMMiTTEEAlEN WANT TO KNOW
Whether They or the Mayor Shall
Continue the W ork--.Mct Last Night.
Appointed Mr. Manley to Fiutl Out
W here the Mayor nud They Are At.
There is a new phase In the muddle
between the city and the Providence
und Ahington Turnpike company. The
committee appointed last April by se
lect council to sift the controversy and
port its findings, now takes exception
to Mayor Bailey's efforts at reconcilia
tion with.theconipunyand will not move
in the mutter until the work Is assumed
either by him or the committee.
The committee docs not come out flat
footed and request the mayor to keep
hands off, but that Is about the size of
the committee's sentiment.
Las night Messrs. Roche, Manley und
T5oss, the select council's sifting com
mittee, met In the city clerk's ollice ill
the city hull. Their discussion w as pure
ly Informal. At the beginning there was
comment 011 The Tribune's report of
the recent conference between Mayor
Bailey and Street Commissioner
Kinsley uud Turnpike company of
ficials in the office of Attorney W. W.
Watson. The conference wus nought
by the mayor uud his object wus to get
the comimny to forego Its Intention of
repairing the roadway until City Sol
icitor Torrey returned home. In that
the conference was successful. Thw
mayor seeks an end to the present le
gal strife und un amicable adjustment
of the dispute.
The commit tee advocates the same
thing, but It does not choose to bother
about it if the mayor is going to carry
the object through. So last night's con
fab ended In the appointing of Mr. Man
ley as a committee of one to Interview
the mayor and decide with him whether
huor the committee would continue the
work. The committee will meet early
next week following the talk between
Mayor Hulley und the sub-committee-men.
Just now the Turnpike company and
the city are as far from a settlement of
their differences as they were four
months ugo when the select council
sifting committee wus appointed.
