Many "Rainy Daisies," ns they call
them In Philadelphia, were seen on tho
streets of Scranton yesterday. Uy thesn
aro meant the wearers ot short Kowns
which swung Jauntily, well nbovo tho
mud and wet. No woman who went
along wildly clutching her long skirts
with ono hand nnd vainly endeavoring
to carry nn umbrella, a box containing
chnrlotte-ruspe, tho materials lor n.
dainty new ofa pillow, a hat with feath
ers In a. flimsy paper bag and u, few
other trllles, failed to envy those who
nttlred In tasteful bicycle suits had no
visions of mlcroby skirt hems, sore
throats nnd ruined b.ick breadths. It
would seem that any woman who had
ever ridden a wheel would linvo llttlo
hesitancy in adopting bicycle garb for
rainy days. A bicycle skirt of modebt
length, together with high boots, make
an Ideal costume for wet weather, but
ulan thero nro many of us who havo
never tried to ride u wheel, don't want
to rldo one, will probably never own a
blcyclo suit, and will, therefore, tramp
along In sloppy weather with disgusting
ly drabbled skirts. Theso aro tho ones
who would possibly havo courage to bo
burned at tho stako for tho sako of re
ligion, but who wouldn't darn nppear on
tho street with a gown reaching only
to their ankles.
lira. J. S. Nowell, tho evangelist, Is
here at tho Young Women's Christian

BOARDOF CONTROL

the Present Board,
BV QUO WARRANTO PROCEEDINGS
Tho Sclioul Controllcis Will Ho Asked
to .Show by What lutliorlty n llonrrt
of Twcnty-ono Members Is Main
tained; Why the Taxes Aro Levied
011 tho City Assessment Instead ol
tho County Assessment, and Why
the City Controller Kxcrelscs Juris
diction Over School Hoard I'limnccs
Board of control nffalrs nro to col a
lively lecnl stirring up, It Attorney
Irti H. Burns and his clients, John Jcr
tnyn, ut. al , aro equal to such a task,
nnd It Is Hafe to pay that they arc,
judging from tho manner in which
they dealt with the hoard of tax re
vision and nppeals.
Three- irregularities, which It Is now
claimed exist, aro to he fiet aright.
First of all and foremost, tho hoard as
al nresent constituted as to numbers,
is to ho wiped out and a lioard of six
substituted. Next, tho present system
of levying school taxes on the city as
sessment Is to be knocked out and tho
board compelled to uso tho county as
sessment n.s Its lxisls of taxation.
Thirdly, a complete divorcement of city
nnd school nffalrs Is to be had by en
forcing the recent decision o Judge
MePhoMon, of Dauphin county, that a
city controller has no jurisdiction of
school district expenditures.
It Is proposed by air. Burns, before
th" vok la over, or at the latest, the
for part of next week, to Institute quo
warranto proceedings, calling upon tho
board of control to show cause why It
persists in these alleged Irregularities.
The same line of action will be fol
lowed ns In the similar proceedings in
stituted In Plttston. Judge Bennett's
decision In this case, which, it will bo
remembered, declared In favor of the
hoard of six, Is to bo taken to the Su
preme court, or at least a movement
is afoot to take It tip. In the event that
It should not bo appealed tho Scranton
enso will ho in all likelihood lie taken
up. It ORStirdelv will If tho local Ju
diciary go contrary to Judge Bennett's
opinion.
THEY WANT REFORM.
Jlr. Burns' clients nro prompted In
their contemplated action by a desire
to effect what they believe will bo n
wholesale wholesome reform. They fig
ure that th" present board Is expensive
in two ways. First, because It virtu
ally legislates for twenty -on different
districts, and second, because it Is com
posed of a clas3 of men who are com
paratively incapable for th'; reason
that they aro selected from n limited
choice.
As to the first reason, it 'a pointed
out that a great deal of money Is un
necessarily expended by each member
In order that ho may bo consldeied by
his constituents to be just n good as
his fellow. For Instance, during the
past year there was an omnibus build
ing measure passe 1, by which appro
priations were made for a number ot
new schools, a .ouple of when at least
wer? necessary only to line up this
member or that for the buildings which
the projectors of tho measure desired
in their wards. It was a rase of "If
you gat a new building In your ward.
I must cet ono J.u mine." This, ns Is
readily apparent, there is a strong pos
sibility of unwise expenditure1!. Jlr.
Burns himself made the statement, In
talking olons this line, that up in his
ward, the Thirteenth, $2j,000 was wast
ed In replacing a good, substantial and
adequate bulldlnc which would servo
every purpose for years to come.
As to the contention that a better
claffi of men will be attracted to a
board of six elected at large, llttlo
need bis said, they argue, for It stands
to reason that men who could not now
be coaxed to go through a ward pri
mary and ward election to become the
Twenty-first part of a none too high
ly esteemed organization, would gladly
and ern anxiously offer themselves
to s.erve with men ot their own calibre
In this responsible and Important of
fice. WAY THEY AROUK.
Putting it In another way, It is to bo
expected that a het(?r average in the
matter of callbro is to bo expected In
six men selected from the city nt largo
than from twenty-one men chosen one
from each ward. And better than nil
a board selected at large and owing
alleglence to no particular ward or lo
cality, will do away with tho present
pestiferous system of ward rather than
city legislation.
The other two contemplated reforms
resolve themselves merely into the Jn
forcement of existing laws. These laws,
of course, are disputed, but those who
champion them have llttlo ground to
stand on. In tho matter of making
the school tax levy on thft city assess
ment It Is shown nlmost conclusively
that It is special legislation.
The constitution says that legisla
tion of nny class must be general
throughout the state, yet under tho
present application of ths law wo havo
right In this county a ilagrnnt violation
of the constitution Scranton using Its
municipal assessment and Dunmore, an
ndjolnlng municipality, using the coun
ty assessment.
Judge McPherson, In dealing with
tho question of a city controller's jur
isdiction over school board finances,
uiles that such a provision Is illegal,
for the teason that being a city of
ficer he can not bo legislated for as a
school district ofTIcor, and that no act
of the legislature can provide both for
a city and a school district.
Ono of the principal changes that
would result from tho inauguration ot
a hoard of six would be the creation
of a new otllco, that of treasurer of
tho school district, who would recelvo
a perwmtago on collections and dls
bursements, the figure to bo fixed by
tho school board. Tho secretary of tho
school board would also havo to bo a
member thereof, hut provision is madr
for the employment of a clerk, which
Is discretionary with tho hoard.
Mr. Burns Is now at work on tho pa
pers in the cose, and they are liable
to be fllsd any day.
TWO MORE OFFERS.
I.arcu Mnmiihctiirine Hltcs Wanted
by tho Hoard ofTrndc.
Offers to sell two plots of ground
were yesterday mado to tho board ot
trado officers In consequence of the
publicity given In The Tribune ot the
desire of a largo New England manu
facturing concern to change tho loca
tion of its plant to tho coal region bo
cause ot the benefits to bo derived
Iwo from cheap fuel.
Ono plot offered Is In MInooka and
tho other is near tho Tripp rotate. Tha
latter plot does not contain the (15
acres desired, but the number of ncrua
locking, It Is thought, can be purchased
from the Delnwnre, Lackawanna nnd
Western company, whoso lands adjoin.
The company In prospect employs
1.C00 hands, spends now $100,000 yearly
for ftv.l and is quoted In Dunn's with
a high credit of $1,000,000.
FELL A DISTANCE OF SIXTV FEET.
Htliur Held, of tho .South Side, llndly
Injured.
Arthur Held, a trimmer employed
by tho Scranton Illuminating -Heat,
Light and owor company, was serious
ly injured yesterday by falling from
the top of .the sixty-foot electric light
polo nt Clenrvtew street and Summit
avenue.
Held was on top of the electric light
pole placing new carbons In tho lamp
when ho lost his footing and fell to
tho ground, landing on his back. When
picked up by those who saw thi acci
dent, he was unconscious. He was re
moved to tho house of Mr. Kidler,
where Dr. Troverton attended him. It
was found that no hones were broken
and ho wns removed to his home, at
C24 Alder street, where Dr. Walsh, the
family physician, was summoned.
It Is feared that Held has Internal
injuries, but they aro not considered
serious.
WE ARE YET IN IT.
Scranton Still lias a Chance to Be
Chosen as the Government's
Armor Plate Site.
Scranton still has a fighting chance

the government armor plate plant, ac
cording to a letter received by Secre

yesterday from W. Irving Chambers,
lieutenant and recorder of tli..- navy
depaitment.
This city's bid for an investigation
by the Armor Factory board was mado
by letter last summer and was duly
acknowledged. It was announced re
cently In the Nv York newspapers
that Birmingham, Ala., had been rec
ommended for a site. Secretary Ath
erton at once wrote the navy depait
ment and Indicated, If tho publlslir.d
report was true, this city's overtures
hud been unfairly met.
In reply to Secretaiy Athei ton's let
ter, the following was received yester
day: Navy Department,
WtsMngton, Nov. 1, lSW.
Mr. I). 11. Atherton, Secretary Board ot
Trade, Scranton, l'a.

ferring to my letter of August J-', con
cerning tho suldect of tltu for the pro
posed armor plant, has been received and
I have the honor to Inform you:
1 Tho armory factory board has no
authority to localo such a plant.
2 That board was directed to make a
brief tour of inspection of tho Alabama
Tcnnesseo district, but will be unable to
make nny moro lslts prior to submitting
p'.mns, specifications, etc., on December 1.
S Tho best time to submit the claims of
Scranton will be after tho navy depart
ment has advertised for proposals.
4 Tho armoiy factory board has no
authority to make tho recommendations
that you noticed In the Now York papers.
Very respectfully,
W. Irving Chambers,
Lieutenant and ltecorder.
