NECESSARY PAPERS
HAVE ARRIVED
MOREL AND ROBERT WILL BE
BROUGHT BACK HERE,
City Detective John Molr and Chief
of Police Henry Dlerks of Dun
inore, Will Leave This Morning for
Montreal Armed with Requisition
Papers for the Mon It Is Alleged
Shot Kays and Snyder, Dunmore
Police Officers on July 1 Last Men
Said to Have Confessed.
Requisition papers arrived In this
city yesterday morning ftom Wash
ington for the arrest of Augustc Morel
nnd Antolnc Robert, the two annrchlsts
captured In Montreal, QulV". two
weeks ngo, chaiged with the h.otlng
of Patrick Kays ond Henry Snyder,
two Dunmoie policemen, on July 1,
ISM, and, aimed with them, City De
tective John Molr nnd Chief of Police
Henry Dleiks, of Dunmore, will leave
the city this morning nt 6.S0 o'clock
by the Delnwnie and Hudson railroad
to bring to the city the two prisoners.
As wilt bo remembered, tho men had
been rcen by the two ofllcers lurking
around the residence of William D.
Hoycr, and acting In a very suspicious
manner. They finally left tho spot and
were followed by the ol'leers. Sud
denly they tinned nnd, drawing revol
vers, opened lite, btlnglng the police
men to the ground.
They thin took to their heels nnd
nothing further was heard of them
until Jan. ft, when Chief of Police
Frank Robltng received a communi
cation from Sila3 H. Carpenter, chief
of police of Montreal, saying that two
Frenchmen had been arrested w ho had
been boasting of their feat In shooting
two Scranton policemen. They had
further declared that their object had
been to blow up tho house of a certain
coal operator with a tubo bomb In their
possession.
BOMB FOUND.
Now, after their departure from hero
the local police discovered a piece of
lead pipe on the ground filled with
powder, and which was likely to prove
a very ugly sort of explosive engine.
There Is no doubt that the blowing up
of Mr. Boyer's house was Intended.
After further communications had
passed between tho two police bureaus
tho Identity of the parties being estab
lished, petitions for requisitions papets
weio drawn up by Dlstiict "Attorney
Jones. It Is necessary In cases of ex
tradition like this to execute tho re
quest In tilpllcate and, thete being two
defendants In this case, It was neces
sary to diaw up six sets of papers
which wete sent flist to the ofllco of
the secretary of the commonwealth at
Harrlsburg, where two sets wete kept,
and then to Washington, where two
mote sets ate retained by the secretary
of the state.
At 11 o'clock yesterday morning Dis
trict Attorney Jones lecelred a bulky
envelope, containing the requisition'!
papers, which wete given to Chief
Holding. There are two sets of papers,
exact duplicates, with the exception
that In the one Is the name or Atiguste
Morel and in tho other, Antoino Robert.
They are fotmlduhle with tho seals
of tho commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
tho official one of tho United States
and that of the British embassy. The
very first of tho papets, address"'1 -the
authorities nt Montreal, certifies
that the following documents nre au
thentic and the signature of tho Hon.
John Hay, true and genuine. This is
signed by "W. O. Max Miller, secretary
of her Btltlsh majesty's embassy. The
next, signed by tho Hon, John Hay,
secretary of state, certifies that "the
document hereunto nfflxed Is under the
seal of the state of Pennsylvania and
Is entitled to full faith and credit."
MOIR EMPOWERED.
Tallowing this comes a lengthy man
uscript ftom headquarters at Harrls
burg requesting that proceedings be
Instituted against Morel and Robert,
nnd th.tt John Molr be empoweted to
bring them back to Scranton, signed
by Governor William A. Stone and W.
W. Grlest, sectetary of the common
wealth. In answer to these Is the Immediate
writ of requisition signed by Presi
dent William McKlnley and conferring
the power attached to all these docu
ments are the ones made out In Scran
ton, the statements of Kays and Sny
der before Justice of Peace B. W.
Cooney, the warrant Issued at his of
fice, the statement of Chief of Police
Robllng and tho petition for the papers.

BELLEVUE BAPTISTS
GET THE SCHOOL
WEIGHTY QUESTION DECIDED
BY SCHOOL BOARD.
A Number of the Members Opposed
the Idea, Claiming It Was Estab
lishing a Dangerous Precedent,
but Mr. Gibbons' Argumonts Won
Out Animated Discussion on Sta
tionery Question, in Which Mr.
Jennings Made Personal Remarks
About Mr. Prendergast.
Tho board of control last evening,
after an exceedingly long and Interest
ing debate, finally decided to allow tho
Baptists of Belle vuo Hill to wa a room
In No. 13 school building for Sunday
school purposes up to May 1. Tho
board refused a similar request from a
branch of tho United Mine Workers,
w ho also wanted a room two nights in
every month.
When tho matter was brought up by
Contt oiler E. E. Evan", Captain W. A.
LMay spoke ugolnst the plan, stating
that It was a step In tho wrong direc
tion nnd a dangerous precedent to es
tablish. Mr. Evans, In reply, stnted
that unless the boaid granted the 10
quest the chinch would bo without n
Sunday school for throo months.
Mr. Gibbons then arose nnd said ho
was surprised at the board, that ho
didn't think there was a mnn on It who
would oppose such (t motion. It had
been done before for the Catholics of
South Scranton and there was no rea
son why It shouldn't bo done again.
He further remarked that It was for
educational purposes, any way.
"Why," said ho, "at the last meeting
a motion was carried granting the city
controller a salary of $100 a month,
where he had no right to get 100 cents
and there was no opposition raised,
yet, now where some people want to
get a room to teach children about
their Creator you all oppose It. It's a
shame."
NO SENTIMENT IN IT.
Captain May said It was not a mat
ter of sentiment, but a matter of prin
ciple. "Tho law says that buildings
shall be used for educational purposes
only," he said, "but a great many
things can be construed to mean edu
cational purposes."
Mr. Jennings moved that the matter
be referred to the solicitor of the board
for an opinion, but his motion was lost
and a motion to grant the request was
then adopted. Mr. Roche then moved,
nmld a general laugh, that the miners'
union be allowed to use two rooms In
the same building, but the motion was
lost.
The stationary question also caused
considerable discussion. Mr. Roche,
chairman of tho supply committee,
Ftatod that the contract with R. E.
Prendergast for school pads had run
out, or rather been filled and, ns paper
had gone up f0 per cent, nnd Mr. Pren
dergast Just wanted this Increase of 50
per cent., he wanted to bo advised how
to act.
A number of members nskod to have
the contract rend and upon the secre
tary doing so It was found that It called
for 50,000 pads nt a stated price per
1,000. Mr. Evans said that the eontrnct
should have called for lOn.uufl pad's, but,
as it did not nnd ns the 50,000 pads had
been furnished, tho board could not.
hold Mr. Piendergast. This prompted
Mr. Jennings to remark:
"Stationers who have entered Into
contracts with this board before have
furnished pads until the end of the year
at the price mentioned In the contract,
even though they did have to furnish
more than a stated number. I think
this a slim Jim way of trying to crawl
out of a small hole, nnd the contractor
who w ants to crawl out of a small hole
must necessarily be small himself,"
TO RE-ADVERTISE.
A number of the members resented
this personul attack on Mr. Prender
gast, who was present, and wanted to
give him the privilege of the floor, but
Mr. Langan moved that bids be rc
advertlsed for. Mr. Jennings then, for
the second time In the evening, moved
to refer the matter to the solicitor for
nn opinion as to whether Mr. Prendei
gast could be held or not. His motion
was lost, however, and Mr. Langan'a
was adopted.
A bid of Peter Stlpp, to furnish cop
per gutters for now No. S3 school for
$3S7, was read and referred to tho
building committee. On recommenda
tion of the teachers' committee, Miss
Annto E. Judge was appointed primary
C teacher at No. 2 school.
On motion of Mr. Schrlefcr, a num
ber of old school books were donated
to a young lady In North Scranton, who
has a small private class of little Ital
Ian children,
Mr. Gibbons moved that the superin
tendent and a commltteo of five con
trollers attend the stato convention of
50 Cent Ties
Are not all tbe same value
We honestly think we can give you
a better Tie for 00c than yon can
get 'most anywhere else, If most
people didn't think so we wouldn't
sell so many.
