' TO INCREASE CAPITAL.
Proposition the Stockholders of the
L. I. & S. Co. Will Be Asked to
Vote Upon on December 20.
On December 29 the stockholder of
the Lnckawantm Iron and Steel com
pany will meet in this city to vote on u
proposition to Increase th? uip.lal
stock of the company from S.I.ICO.OOO
to $25,000,001). The dlrect'iia ' the com
pany In this city refused yesterday to
I state the plans the company have un
der consldeiatlon which would make,
such a tremendous expansion of Its
capital stock necessary.
"There is nothing dcflnlt-i that I
could tell you at this time about thu
pluna of the conipnin." Kiid one of tho
directors. "You know this is simply
a pioposltlon to increase the capital
Mock. It mav not tret with the np
1 proval of the stockholders. If Ilia
i necessary permission Is given some
i thing can then be said about the pur-
pose In expanding the capital of tho
i company. liven if tho capital is in-
creaseil It does not necessailly toilow
that the mills here are to be abandoned
and others constructed. One thing I
can say and It Is this, there will be
no change In tho mills here for two
years. '
Although the officials of the company
hero are very reticent about the pur
pose In Increasing the capital stock
there Is no doubt that It Is linked with
the plan to establish at Huffnl'j one ot
the greatest steel rail nnd billet plants
In the country.
The mill at Uuffalo will 'jo built In
the very near future and the December
meeting In this city will decide whether I
or not the Lackawanna Iron nnd Steel
j company will go Into the new project
I as a company. If It Is decided not to
i ilo so the Uuffalo company will be per
fected by men prominent In the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
nnd the work of constructing the plant
will proceed.

BIG DISH OF CROW
ROCHE CALLED IT
COMPLETE BACKDOWN BY
SELECT COUNCIL.'
THE
After Declaring They Would Never
Permit the Mayor to Ignore Coun
cil in Pollco Matters the Giave and
Reverend Seigniors of tho Upper
Branch Break Rules and Precedents
and Threaten tho furniture In
Falling Over One Another to Ap
prove His Honor's Action.
After a siege of nearly two months,
Helt'ut council, last night, uncondition
ally sin rendered to tlii mayor in the
police leinovul light. The romnval of
Patrolmen Saul and Dyer was ap
proved and the npio!ittlii"iit of Patrol
men Special Olllceis Hockenberry and
Davis In their stead was t'liitlimed.
As may be believed nil thU was not
done without some opposition. A
sliong opposition led by Mr. Roche,
fought aliuiitly to prevent the sur
londcr with arguments, showing tho
InconMsteiiLy of tho mayor's position,
nnd the lrregul.it Ity of the proceedings,
but the capitulation had boon piecon
certcd nnd despite the fact that the.
lontentlonn of the minority were ad
mitted to be true, tnu preconcerted
capitulation was carried out.
Prior to the meeting the pullcj com
mittee had n KiSJiuii to consider thu
communication rent by tii.i mayor on
October PJ, calling nttcntlon to his ac
tion of August la. in i amoving Saul
ami Dyer and appointing D.nls and
Ilockcnberry.
A leport was agreed upon leccm
inendlng that the nction of the .iiayoi
In removing Saul and Dyer be approved
and that the appr.lntments of Hockon
berry and Davis be coullrmed. Tho re
port was signed by Messrs. James,
Finn nml O'Royle. Messrs. Lansing
and AlcAndiew declined to attach their
signatures. Mr. Lansing would not
favor tho dismissals but when council
approved the dismissals ho favored '.he
appointments of their successors. Mr.
McAndrow did not approve cither ac
tion. MR. ROCHK'S RHMARKK.
When the report was presented to
council, Mr. Roche arose and reaJ a
communication sent up by the tontrol-
i Icr at a lecent meeting enclosing tho
bill of Messrs. llockenbery nnd Davis
for services ns special po'leemen lor
ten-days peilods, extending from Au
gust IS to September 27. In all foity
days at $2.S0 per day T1t; bill boro
the endorsement: "Approved, James
Molr, Mayor."
"Now." said Mr. Roche, "accoiding
to this bill these men weie appointed
as special officers. According to the
mayor's communication on which the
committee reports tonight, they were
appointed natiolmen to succeed Saul
und Dyer. 1 can not see how thu mayor
can hannonlze his actions. He appoints
these men patrolmen on Oct. 19. nnd on
the same day appoints them special
olllcers. I can not understand how we
can approve of his action as It stands.
Some membeis of this council signed
a report that was adverse to tho re
moval of Saul and Dyer, and talked
about the mayor attempting to usurp
the powers of councils. Mow they sign
a report favoring the removals. It
looks to me like eating a good big dish
of crow."
Mr. O'Royle took Mr. Roche's re
marks as being dlroted to him and said
that It was true he had opposed the
removals, behoving the mayor was
usurping power that rested In council,
and was of the same opinion still. The
council, however, had opened the door
to Messrs. Saul and Dyer to go Into
court nnd secure a mandamus to com
pel the mayor to put them bark on the
force, but they failed to tako advant
age of tho opportunity. One of them
Is working and tho other Is going about
the streets, taking no Interest whatever
In tho matter, while the city Is making
Itself liable all tho time for the salary
of two SPts of ofllcers.
O'ROYLK DORS NOT KNOW.
Mr. Roche Interrupted with: "I would
like to Inquire If the gentleman from
the Klchteenth doesn't know of the
case-stated which ex-City Solicitor
Toriey has brought In the Interest ot
Slessrs. Saul and Dyer?"
Mr. O'Royle replied that he knew
nothing about It except what was hear
say. Mr. McCann moved to indefinitely
postpone action on the report of the
committee. This was lost by the fol
lowing vote:
Ayes Messrs. Thomas, Roche, Shra,
McCann, Frable, Coyne, McAndrow, Wil
liam s-S
Nays Messrs. Ross, Finn, James, Mel.
vin, Chittenden, Wagner, Schneider, San
derson, rellows, Schroeder, Lansing,
O'Royle. 12.
"That's what I call eating crow,"
remarked Mr. Roche when the vote
wns announced.
Mr. Wagner asked to be Informed a3
to what time the pay of Hockenberry
and Davis would elate from, the date
of their appointment or the date of
their conllrmatlnn. Mr. Sanderson
said It was manifestly Impossible! for
them to draw pay In both positions
and there would bo no need to worry
on that score. Mr. Roche wanted to
Know which position they would be
recognized In. Thai? was no getting
away from the fact, Mr. Roche held,

TEED TOOK POISON.
Regretted That He Did Not Succeed
In Killing Himself.
There Is an nlr of mystery about the
case of K. S. Teed, who uttemptcd sui
cide In the Hotel Jermyn, Monday
night. Toed Is u traveler for the large
harness, hnuso of Olmslead & Son,
Syracuse, N, Y and his own home U
In Trumnnrhurg, N. Y., where his fam
ily Is considered onn of the best. Per
sonally, also. Teed Is known as u
splendid fellow. He Is about forty-live
years old, and muirled.
Monday morning he arrived in this
city and teglstered at tho Jeitnyn. A
little before) midnight he called a bell
boy to his room and told hint he had
taken poison. He was writhing around,
In npparent agony, and the boy noti
fied the night clerk, who Immediately
culled Dr. Keller by telephone. The
doctor urilveil on the scene and ad
ministered an antidote to the poison,
of which Teed had taken about two
ounces, nnd which was u foim of mer
cury. The doctor diligently worked on him
and soon brought him to consciousness.
Teed was far from grateful for his te
coveiy, nnd only exptessed a regict
that he had not taken a larger elose,
and made awny with himself.
No one seems to know of any motive
for the deed. It Is, however, known
that he suffered from hay fever In Its
erj woist form, nnd It mny be that
while suffering fiom n peculiarly vio
lent attack ho tried to put himself out
of his agony.
After Dr. Keller had brought Teed to
( onscloiifliiess and health, he left him
and the next morning all effects of the
dose he had taken were gone, and he
was apparently enjovlng good health.
Terd left the hotel Tuesday morning,
saying he wns going to iilnghumton.
GILLETTE'S LATEST PLAY
Novelist Doyle Suggested the Possi
bilities of Sherlock Holmes to
Him While in London.
William fllllette, whose latest play,
"Sherlock Holmes," was presented at
the Lyceum again last night befoie an
audience that was charmed and fase
clnatcel Is one of the most Interesting
characters on the stage today. Com
paratively little Is known about him by
the general public because he has a
strong nverslon against talking about
himself cither privately or for the
public.
He was seen on the stage of the Ly
ceum after a rehearsal yesterday after
noon by a Tribune man nnd asked to
tell the public something about himself
and his latest play.
"Xot for worlds my dear fellow,"
was his quick reply. "I never do that
suit of thing, you know. I am content
to let tho public Judge the play from
the front. It Is for them to say what
they think about. My Judgement Is uf
no consequence for I am responslblo
for the play.
"What suggested the Idea? Why Mr.
Doyle It was that first called my atten
tion to the dramatic possibilities of hla
famous detective. It was more than a
year ago when I was In London with
'Secret Service.' Mr. Doyle saw roe In
that drama and was good enough to
think 1 could do something with Sher- '
lock Holmes If he was placed on the
stage. Finally Mr. Frohrnan's atten
tion was called to the possibilities of n,
drama with the detective a the central
ngure and he at once became very ,
enthusiastic over the idea. They
aroused my enthusiasm and I wont to
work on the drama but found I could
do little with It while acting. Toward
the close of Inst season I wns In Cali
fornia with the 'Secret Service' nnd
there I laid off for six weeks and
wrote the drama, it had Its first pres
entation In Ruffalo last week and will
be put on at the Uarrlck In New York
next Monday night."
When Mr. Gillette's attention was
called to the fact that "Sherlock
Holmes" Is what might be termed a
man's play, that is, tli.it It will natural
ly appeal more to men than to women
he said:
"Possibly it would have been better
If the love story was projected moro
prominently into the rlay but I could
not do that you Fee without destroying
the character of Sherlock Holmes. He
wns a man who had nothing to do with
that sort of thing nnd If I was to glvj
the Mage something approaching thj
man described by Mr. Doyle f had to
repress the love Incidents so far as it
was possible to do so."
Mr. Gillette said he was much grati
fied bv tho kind things that have been
said about his play since It was first
produced. He has been an actor for a
number of years having been on thi
stage for some time befoie' he began
his caieer as a playwright.

COUNTY DIRECTORS
ANNUAL MEETING
HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Over One Hundred Directors Weie
Present Address of President
Emery in Which Ho Urged Prog
ressive School Management Lec
ture on "Civil Government" by Dr.
Mowry Supt. Taylor's Annual Ad
dress Offering Numerous Valuable
Suggestions to the Dlrectots.
The school directors comprising tho
School Dhcctois' Association eif Lacku
wanna county, to the number of oven
one hundred 'assembled yesterday In
court room Xo. 2 and held their annual
meeting. The meeting commenced ut
10 o'clock In the moinlngatid continued
until about 3 o'clock In the afternoon.
The meeting opened with an address
by the retiring president, W. J. Finery,
cm' Jefferson township. He opened his
remarks by referring to the splendid
system otifchools and of education In
Lackawanna county at the present
time and how It stands neatly ut the
head of the list ot counties In the stale
In educational matters.
He then referred to the necessity for
Improvement In the lino of new school
buildings and how a properly heated,
ventilated and lighted school room is
as much n requisite towards the proper
education of children ns tho teachers
or the course of study. He said that
with the; rapid aelvanoo of improve
ments In nil of these lines that they
should be given serious consideration.
There should be progress In school
management as well as In other things.
SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
Mr. Emery also told of the advan
tages to be derived from a school li
brary, no matter how small It might
be, allowing as It does, a chance for
the child to acquire a taste for tho
good things of literature which have
such rellulng inlluence.
The next feature of the meeting was
an addicss upon civil government
by Dr. Mowry, lepeatlns many ot
the things he said to tho teach
ers on Wednesday and telling
of the urgent necessity of teach
ing this study In the schools. In tho
course of his remntks he paid a com
pliment to this state by saying that
the township system prevailing In
Pennsylvania is much superior to tho
district system which Is in use In a
number of the eastern states anil that
this township system is rapidly sup
planting the latter.
A report of tho delegates to the state
convention of school directors held last
March was then read by C. V. Decker,
of Newton. The report was very ex
haustive and included extracts from
some of the addresses delivered.
When Mr. Decker had finished Pro
fessor R. H. Martin, of Moscow, sang
a baritone solo and then tho discussion
of the report was begun.
JITt, TAYLOR'S COMMENTS.
Superintendent Taylor said that tho
efforts of the Lackawanna deleuatlon
at the last convention were concen
trated in an attempt to secure the
passage of a resolution providing thai
county directors' associations ho recog
nized by law and that state funds bs
appropriated to defray the expenses of
the annual meetings. Mr. Taylor said
that ho had offered this resolution but
that it was lost by a vote of 40 to 20.
Continuing he said that he considered
the question not only feasible but
necessary. The state gives money to
meet the expenses of the county Insti
tutes, why not money to meet the ex
pense of the directors' meetings. Ho
told how these meeting" were of ln
calulable benefit, familiarizing the di
rectors with progressive educational
ideas and allowing an Interchange of
opinion on educational matters.
Mr. Taylor was followed by Director
U. H. Holgate, of LaPlume, who spoke
along the same lines and said there
w as no gooel reason why n. law such as
had been discUFseel should not ba
passed. Other speeches were made In
favor the movement and finally upon
motion of Director Watklns, of lilakely,
a resolution was passed that It was tho
sense ot the meeting that a law be
passed legalizing county associations.
OFFICERS ELECTED.
A recess was then declared anil
when the diiectors again convened In
the afternoon tho election of officers
was the first order of business. Tho
following were elected, to serve during
the ensuing year: President, A. D.
Dean, of Waverly: first vice-president,
J. N. Oiowles, of Scott; second vice
pi esldent, William Walker, of May
field: secretary, U. II. Holgate, of La
Plume: treasurer, John C. Tuthlll, of
Blakely.
There was not contest except for tho
office of treasurer. Tho nominees were
J. C. Northup, of Olenburn and John
C. Tuthlll of niakcly. Tuthlll was
elected by n voto of "3 to 17.
Superintendent Taylor delivered the
annual addicts after tho d-etlon of of
llcers was finished. In opening ho told
of the growing tendency of parents to
keep their chlldien away from si hool
and send them to work partlou'aiiy on
the farm and in the breakers and of
the necessity of mee'lng this dlf
