MR. KINSLEY'S END
IS APPROACHING
Chittenden Resolution Is Taken Away
from tltc Committee.
SELECT COUNCIL AUKES A STAND
Hut Not Until After 11 llciitcil rich!
Was tlio Uasoliitioii I'rovhlitis Tor
the Iteinovnl of Mr. KIiihIuv a ml His
Assistant, Oeortje Porlso, Adopted.
Taken from thu Committee by a
Vote of Ten to I'ive.
Tlio Chittenden resolution ndvocntliiK
the removnl of Sttx-et Commissioner C.
11. Kinsley and his assistant, George
Perigo, was last night taken from the
regular committee to which It had been
referred In select council und was
adopted after a vigorous and lengthy
debate. This was the resolution:
Hesolvert, Hy the select council or the
city of Scranton, tlio commoti council
concurring, that It Is the opinion of the
councils that the Interests of the city
would be best served by the removal tr
the present street commissioner and hid
assistant, and the city clerk is requested
to convey nutlee ot this uetion to thu
mayor.
The resolution was Introduced last
Thursday night by Mr. Chittenden, but
despite that gentleman's lirotest and
the support of a minority it was "re
ferred to committee." No committee
was designated and President Sander
son designated the committee on laws
and ordinances, whose members are:
Mr. Kearney, chairman; Mr. Finn, Mr.
Fellows, Mr. Williams und Mr. McAn
drew. They fulled to act upon the
measure and lust night's doings was
the consequence.
Mr. Durr, Mr. McAndrow and Mr.
Clark debated against noting. as. a body
on the resolution until Mayor Bailey
COFNCILMAN M'ANDHEW,
He Took a Lively Part in the Exciting
Debate.
had reported upon the testimony heard
during the investigation, but when a
vote was taken on a motion to take the
measure from the committee Mr. Clark
voted with the majority.
President Sanderson was absent. In
his stead Mr. Chittenden was chosen
to preside. Mr. Fellows opened the
Kinsley matter by a motion that ..the
resolution bo taken from the commit
tee and considered forthwith.
Mil. M'ANDHEWS OBJECTED.
In debating the motion, Mr. McAn
drews, who Is a member of the commit
tee, opposed action on the ground that
the committee in its own defense should
have time to consider whether it should
act definitely or return the resolution
without a report. He had not learned
until last night that the resolution had
been referred.
Mr. Lansing was of the opinion that
the best way to settle the point raised
by Mr. MeAndrew was for councils to
net. Mr. MeAndrew, in replying, used
ills former argument and added that it
was a question whether such a resolu
tion could be properly acted upon ex
cept in joint session,
The motion to bring the resolution
before tho meeting was put and adopt
ed by tho following vote:
Ayes Messrs. Hoss, Kearney, Thomas',
Clink, Chittenden, Manley, McCaim, Fel
lows, Lansing, Coyne 10 votes.
Nays Messrs, Durr, Hobltison, Schroe
der, liurns, MeAndrew u votes.
Mr. Mnnley's motion that the resolu
tion be read and adopted was seconded
by Mr. Lansing. After the reading, Mr.
Claike asked Mr. Chittenden his rea
sons for Introducing the resolution. The
latter called Mr. Coyne to the chair and
descended to the lloor.
It was purely a personal matter, Mr.
Chittenden remarked. Ho hnd sat with
the mayor at the latter's request during
the investigation but had not been so
empowered by councils. The mayor
had told a reporter that his linal deci
sion would depend on the opinions of
His tour asboeiutes and himself. The
committee, so called, had never been
given an opportunity to vote on the
guilt or innocence of the accused.
HE HAD HEEN BLAMED.
He had, he said, been blamed by his
constituency in the face of the evidence
for not taking action, hence the liberty
ni" wok in introducing the resolution,
which, to his surprise, hail be?n referred
to committee.
At this point Mr. Coyne asked to be
relieved from the duty of presiding.
Mr. Chittenden, too, preferred remain
ing on the lloor and asked Mr. Manley
to occupy the chair.
Mr. Coyne said lie was surprised at
the attitude of some of the members.
The testimony was plainly and undls
putably that the affairs of the street
department had been most flasrnntly
mismanaged and dishonorably conduct
ed; he didn't believe any councilman
on the lloor honestly questioned It. It
was simply mirth-provoking to nsk for
reasons why the resolution .should be
adopted. If there was any reason why
It should not pass, then the entire pub
lic press of the city had been guilty of
blackmail.
Mr, Chittenden then referred to n re
mark attributed In yesterday's Tribune
to Mayor Bailey as follows:
As a further Indication of the stand
which tho mayor takes In this matter ho
Is ei edited by Mr. Chittenden with saying
that thu appropriations for the utieet
commissioner's department ure ubout ex
hausted and In consequence the city
couldn't loso much anyhow if Mr. Kins
ley was allowed to continue to tho end
of his term,
Mr. Clark Why didn't you, tho mayor
and tho rest of tho committee report'.'
We should have it beforo we can act.
Mr. Chittenden There wus no commit
teo appointed t6 report, I tell you, I
wasn't ono of any committee,
Mr, -'MeAndrew Then you or some one
iff
give us some reason for adopting this
resolution. How do we know oillclally
of any guilt?
Mr. Chlttenden-There; that's Just the
position the mayor placed me In! that
the point.
Mr. Durr Well, now If tho Investlgnt.
Ing committee didn't make a report, how
are we going to take It upon ourselves to
say that tho man was found guilty? That's
why I moved at tho last meeting that Mr.
Chittenden's resolution be referred to
committee. Tho resolution doesn't say
anything about It. The committee hasn't
reported nnd theie's nothing to nct''on.
Mr. Chittenden No, the mayor's cotiv
mlttco didn't decide, hut I did.
Mr. Durr Why didn't you say so In
tho resolution? Why don't you say now
what your decision Is?
Mr. Chittenden is It possible that any
body llko this is In doubt about n matter
of this kind? It Is sulllclent to know that
the most specific evidence ngalnst these
accused parties was never denied on the
stand by either ot them. If the testimony
was untrue why didn't they swear so?
Mr. Chittenden remarked that tho
funds of the street department for thu
fiscal year ending April 1 had been en
tliely exhnusted and that deficiencies
were being "piled up."
Mr. Lansing I agree with Mr. Coyne
that no ono who has read the Investiga
tion testimony can say the olllce wus not
badly, If not dishonestly, conducted. It
Is our duty to stund up and express our
selves. Ah a Republican and one who
recommended the street commissioner
and knew him many years, 1 am etn
barassed ito believe true such charges
preferred against a public oltlcer. We
should show the chief executive of this
city how we feel about such a matter.
A VERY PRETTY SPEECH.
Mr. Durr Mr. Lansing made a very
pretty speech, hut It in't explained yet
why nobody reports the findings of that
committee referring to tho mayor and
his advisors . I Insist that we are taking
a good loud on our Ehouldors to say we
have reason lor" passing the resolution
when tho committee will not make a re
port to us.
Mr. Lansing The author of the resolu
tion has fully stated the position of tho
men who sat and heard the evidence.
Never before have such charges as were
made on examination remained unan
swered If tho charges were untrun.
There's not a clean thing about this busi
ness; we all know it. There's no commit
tee to report, so why should we stand on
a technicality?
Mr. Coyne There's another reason for
action. The testimony urges haste when
It contained the charge that $500 was paid
for the Issuance of a permit to sell wares
on the streets and that some of the money
was used in councils. 1, tor one, .will
protect myself in any outrageous charge
like that.
Mr. Chittenden You're mistaken about
that, Mr. Coyne; that was denied by the
council for the defense; It was one or the
few absolute denials they made.
"I am a member of tlio laws nnd ordi
nances committee" said .Mr. Williams,
"and want something to say In this
matter. If you won't let the commit
tee consider the resolution then you
should force a report on the testimony."
"Why Haven't you got any backbone?"
turning to Mr. Chittenden. "There's
110 doubt about the street commission
er's guilt, but why don't you and the
commmltlec say so and then we can
act"
QUESTION! SHOUTED M'CANN.
"Question! question!" shouted Mr.
McCann with an expression showing
anger at the length of the argument.
"Hold on." exclaimed Mr. Chittenden,
as he huirledly arose to reply to Mr.
Williams, "I rale a point of personal
privilege. The mayor never allowed
the question to come to a vote. He was
the only one who had any decision in
the mutter. We were fooled around
and scarcely uver got together and
when we did, a vote was put off.
"Defore this Js settled I want to cor
rect a report that I am an enemy of
Mr. Kinsley's; I am not. I take this
position because I am right. Another
thing since he went into office there
has never been one foot of street per
manently improved and not one yard
of pavement properly cleaned."
There followed several calls of "ques
tion." The motion to adopt the resolu
tion was put.
Several members refrained from vot
ing but the only voice heard In the
negative was that of Mr. Durr. There
were no culls for the ayes and nays.
Thus ended the most spirited period
in councils for some time. Mr. Chit
tenden had throughout the debute
fought hard for tho passage of the
measure, and on that account at least
did not deserve Mr. Wllllnms' remark
about a lack of backbone which was
more humorous than otherwise under
tilt real consideration of things.
WANT HIGHER WAGES.
Union Painters Are Preparing for
Controversy With Their Employers
the Master Painters.
Trouble is brewing between the mas
ter and journeymen painters; at least
such is indicated In the doings of a
joint meeting held Inst night by Jour
neymen Painters' unions, Nos. IIS and
218 at Hurlburt's hall.
A higher scale of wages was adopted
and will be forwarded to national
headquarters at Baltimore for approv
al. On the return of the scale the mas
ter or boss painters will be asked to
pay it or employ non-union men.
There are 100 or more union painters
In the city and they were well repre
sented at the meeting. They would
not reveal to a Tribune reporter the
particulars of the scale which the na
tional olllcers will be asked to approve.
It was admitted that the rates were
but slightly abuve present wages, which
ranges from $1.50 to $2.50 per day.
They claim to be among the poorest
paid mechanics In the city.
The boss painters have an organiza
tion of their own. but it Is not In as
nourishing a condition as formerly.
TO CONDEMN THE TURNPIKE.
Petition Circulated fur Obliteration
of Aliiligton Itond Toll Cntes.
Another move Is being made against
the Providence and Ablngton Turnpike
company. The new proposition Is to
have the road condemned nnd the toll
gates wiped out forever, Tho Scranton
Dairy company, which Is at the head ot
the movement, has a petition in circu
lation among the Ablngton people and
later will send It about among the
people of Providence for signatures.
Tho hope is being held out to the
fanners that If the road is condemned
the county commissioners, under the
authority of the Flinn ruad bill, will
cure for Its repairing. The commis
sioners, however, have not committed
themselves on this point.

The regular monthly meeting of tho
board of health was held yesterday af
ternoon In the board's room in city hall.

W. A. Palne.Dr. W. E. Allen and Henry
Zelgler constlthted the quorum. After
the reading of the minutes of the pro
ceeding meeting the report of the sec
retary of tile board was read. It stat
ed that during the month of February
there were reported i::;i deaths. During
the same month of the lust four years
there were, respectively, the following
number of deaths: 9S, 107, Vi'i und 101.
The report also stated that during the
month 107 cases of measles, 0 cases of
typhoid fever, 8 of whooping cough, IS
cases of diphtheria and S cases of scar
let fever were reported.
Health Olllcor Allen submitted a ver
bal report In which' he recommended
that unsanitary nuisances existing In
the hotel at the corner of Lackawanna
and Adams avenues, and nt the Phoe
nix Chemical engine company's house
on Lackawanna avenue be ubated. At
both these places there Is a lack of
sewage and the stench arising as a re
sult Is unbearable, so the neighbors say.
'A motion was carried providing for tho
carrying out of Dr. Allen's recommen
dations. FOOD INSPECTOR'S REPORT.
The next report submitted was from
Mill: and Food Inspector Cullen, in
which he stated that G3S meat and fish
and 231 milk Inspections were made,
and that 100 pounds of poultry and 150
pounds of fish were confiscated and de
stroyed. In the report on the crematory for
the month, Superintendent II. W. Lof
tus stated that 59(1 barrels of garbage
were consumed and that sixteen tons of
coal had been usad In the operations.
MEMBER HENRY ZEIGLER.
He further stated that the crematory
Jind been idle from February 14 to March'
1, durlnir which time It underwent re
pairs. Secretary Rrlggs of the committee
appointed at the Inst meeting to report
011 the matter of securing placards to
be placed In the street cars of the city,
prohibiting spitting on the floors, offer
ed a suggestion, which after being mod
ified, was adopted. The cards to be
placed In the cars will bear tho simple
Inscription: "Spitting on the floors of
street cars or other public conveyances
is prohibited by the board of health."
If this injunction proves ineilleient
the board purposes to have an oidln

and the attachment of a penalty for the
non-observance of the law.

The matter or payment for tho ere
