LITTLE EVA'S WATCH.
Caused a Numbcir of Colored Boys to
Be Brought to -Alderman Howe's
Office Hast Night.
Last Saturday there appeared In this
city a play not .unknown to fame, and
certainly known1 to every youngster,
white, black, ycfllow or brown living
within this city; a play known the
country over as "I'ncle Tom's Cabin."
Last niaht thete was a continuation
of the performance In Alderman Howe's
office, at which there appeared some
ten or fifteen tittle darkles, two of
whom, Alhert Htamer and Kddle Wil
liams, rest undcv the suspicion of hav
ing stolen a Robl watch fiom the "Llt
tlo Kva" of uhe production, and who
were held In ball nn the charge.
A walch had been procured' for the
'angel child" as a birthday present
from a fond xnient, and sent to her
through the nitalls.
It arrived at the Lyceum but alas.
Little Evh nevttr saw the timepiece. It
seems that aflipr Saturday's parade.
In which the two "Mniks," a duo of
"Topsles," seventeen bloodhounds and
"Little Eva" -herself had taken pait,
an admiring irrowd of little coloted
boys followed the ptocesston to the
Lyceum and, managing to e''ade the
eagle eves of the argus at the dnoi,
proceeded to disport themsOives over
the stage, pla',vlng with the chunks of
wooden Ice, over which Ella.i Rio,
feeding the bloodhounds and otheiwlse
Innocently aminlng themselvin.
Suddenly the "Williams boy approach
ed "Little Eva", and shyly remarked:
"Say. you done lost your watch."
"Why no 1 didn't, little liny," :e
turned the angel child.
"Yaas you did. Albeit Itame told
me so," was the little fellow's f'spons".
This led to an Investigation, which
resulted In the police being notified.
Chief Tlobling looked Into tin: nutter.
and last night arrested th" (turner
and Williams boys, nnd they weie
given their heating before Aid ;i man
Howe,
The affair was rather a mlxed-up
one, as the other little fellow? who
were present to testify were scv badly
frightened they did not prove the bent
of witnesses.
Both the boys have been arrested
before. The Case will be given a fur
ther investigation today.

SEVfcK COUNCILMEN
ARE ON THE LIST
SOLICITED BRIBES FOR THEIR
VOTES IN TELEPHONE FIGHT.
Substantiation Secured for the Alle
gations Made Last Week by a Wit
ness Who Gave Details Some of
the Modes of Approach as Adopted
by tho Alleged Solicitors Others
May Be Bagged Today Certain
That a Dozen Indictments Will Be
Returned Jury's Flans.
I Seven coiincllinen who. It Is alleged,
corruptly solicited bribes for their
votes In the recent telephone fight will
bp Indicted by the grand Jury.
The evidence necessary to convict
them. It Is claimed, was substantiated
yesteulay.
Who furnished the substantiation Is
not divulged, but that It was furnished
can be authoritatively slated.
"Leave ."00 In an envelope at nnd
I'll guarantee you you'll get a vote,"
This Is what one councilman will have
tn prove he didn't say to a. telephone
lobbyist If he wants to save himself
from Jail,
Another will be called upon to ex
plain away any suspicion that might
be attached to the remark, "If you
want votes, you've got to play ball,"
made to a new telephone promoter.
One of last week's witnesses, It Is said,
accused a number of councllmen of
various offenses and gave the Jury de
tailed statments of the circumstances
surrounding pach case.
The Jury set out upon the task ot
substantiating these allegations and
claims to have succeeded In seven In
stances. Today they hope tn add on
or two more to the list.
So positive are the Jurors that the
evidence now in their possession is
sufficient and not In need of further
corroboration that County Detective
Leyshyt was Instructed last evening
that It would not be necessary for him
to bring In a certain witness who lives
out of town and for whom he was In
structed to send an ofllcer.
One of the Jurors said last evening
It can be safely stated that not less
than twelve Indictments will be re
turned. Today's developments are expected
to add to the list.
A iepoi-1 from the Jury Is possible
t onion ow. U they have not by that
time received all the evidence they
want they propose to adjourn till next
week or the week after, to give County
Detective Leyshon time to locatp and
bilng In the absent witnesses.
Such Indictments as have been agreed
upon will be teturned before the recess
Is taken.
The witnesses examined yesterday
were: Ike Seldman, P. H. Durkln, Vic
tor Koch, Alderman John J. Ruddy,
Ered Durr, CSeorge (', Jones, C. G. (In
land, John Lohmann. Alderman John
Lentes, W. P. Roland and Thomas J.

Ex-Mayor James (5. Halley Is among
those subpoenaed for today.
FOR COLLECTION OF ASHES
Ordinance That Councilman T. H.
Watkins of the Fifteenth Ward
Proposes to Introduce.
Common councilman T. II. Watkins,
of the Fifteenth ward, has a scheme on
hand for the collection of aslus in all
parts of the city and with this end In
view he has had City Solicitor Vos
butg diaw up an oidlnance, which In
will Introduce !n council Immediately
aftei IP-organisation,
This oidlnance makes the collection
of ashes compulsory and fisses-.es each
propel ty owner a certain amount ever
year to pay for such collection. It pio
vides that the city clerk adveitise and
lecelve bids for the removal of ashes
fiom each ward. Each ward must bo
bid for separately, but any contractor
bidding may bid for as many wards
as he deslies.
The contractors who aie awaided
contracts must furnish the necessaiy
receptacles for the removal of the
ashes and must take them away ut
least twice a week. A violation of
either of these piovlsons means a for
feiture of the contiact.
How ninth each propel ty owner Is
to be assessed or how the city Is to
collect In case they do not pay such
assessment has not been decided upon
yet. This Is because the city solicitor
has not et looked Into the legal as
pects of the measure and accordingly
does not Know whether the city can
collect such an extra tax.
Just what Inspired Mr. Watkins to
agitate the question Is not known, but
It Is understood that he nas become
tired of looking at the West Scranton
stieets, a large number of which aie
sudly dlsllgureU by the practice of
dumping ashes on them.

THE 0LYPHANT DEADLOCK
Strong Efforts Were Made to Break
It, but Without Avail-Up to Mid
nightConference Committees.
There was a slight change In the
borough council deadlock at Olyphant
last night, probably due to the fact
that all of tha members appeared be
fore Judge Archbald In the morning
and were told that If they didn't break
the deadlock soon new membeia would
be appointed.
After forty-one ballots had been
taken last night with no result, Messrs,
Gallagher and Van Sickle, the two can
didates for the chairmanship withdrew
fiom the Held and Messrs. Gillespie
and Lawler were nominated In their
places. Thirty more ballots were taken
but the deadlock still continued, as
each nf the two candidates repiesented
one of the two factions.
After the seventy-first ballot It was
decided to appoint a conference com
.mlttee to agree upon a slate. Mr. Gil
lespie accordingly appointed Messis.
Marks. Blown and Gallagher, and Mr.
Lawler appointed Messrs. Van Sickle,
Xealon and Hoblnson as members of
such a committee. Shoitly after mid
night a lecess was taken to allow this
committee to draw up the stale.
The conference committee was out
for about an hour, but could not agree
upon a slate. When they leturned thn
balloting was lesuined on Iawler and
Gillespie. At 1.30 o'clock this morning
fifty ballots had been taken. At 2.10
o'clock, after the fifty-second ballot,
the meeting adjourned on motion of
Mr. Xealon, with the deadlock still on.
The council will now probably he dis
solved. M'KEESPORT'S CONTROLLER.

JAYNE'S REMARKS
WERE NOT HEEDED
ECONOMY CRUSADE DISAS
TROUSLY LAUNCHED.
School Board Decided to Rent Two
Rooms for Supply Department at
865 Per Month Despite Mr, Jayne's
Vigorous Opposition in the Inter
ests of Economy Board Not Sure
It Wants Graduation Exercises in
Lyceum Several New Teachers
Appointed.
President H. T, Jnyne, of the boaul
of conttol, acting In line with the
plan set down by him when chosen
to that ofllce, made his first stand
for economy at last night's meeting ot
that body. The matter was n small
one, lo be suie, but he made a strong
stand against It only to see the ma
jority of -the membeis vote against
him.
The supply committee presented n
report recommending that the loca
tion of the supply room be changed
to a store loom on the Linden street
side of the Williams bu'jdln?. located
at tlu corner of Linden street and
Washington avenue, the rental being
MS n month. Chalrmnn Evans mated
that nnother store room on the Wash
ington avenue side of the building
could be rented at an extra expendl
tuie of only U'O a month, piovldlng
the two weie taken.
He said that the committee was
heartily in favor of taking the two
rooms, thus allowing the various ofll
cers of the board a room for them
selves. Mr. Jnyne relinquished the
choir to Mr. l.angan and vigorously
protested against this plan, showing
how It meant an extra expenditure of
$240 n year. He found no slipporteis,
however, and the board almost unani
mously decided to rent the two rooms.
ABOUT COMMENCEMENT.
Quite a deal of discussion was also
caused by the lecoiiiiiiendntlon of tb
high and training committee that this
ear's high school gtadiiatlng class be
permitted to hold Its commencement
exercises in the Lyceum, owing to the
alleged smallness of both the stage
and the auditorium of the new high
school, which auditoiltim was built,
by the way, for the especial purpose
of conducting commencement exei-
clses.
Mr. Jennings said thut he didn't be
lieve in leaving "the beautiful school,"
as he called It, nnd going to n theater,
He had some statistics showing that
there are only S40 reserved seats In
the Lyceum as compared with 040 at
the school. 215 extra chairs could be
placed In the aisles of the latter, be
said, making a, total of 1155. The ob
jection to the size of the stage, he
said, could be overcome by keeping the
palms and piano off It.
He figured out that It would cost in
even $.100 extra to hold the exercises In
the theater. He also thought that the
exercises could be extended over two
nights if necessary to give all who de
sired a chance to see them. Mr. Gib
bons spoke at some length In favor of
the lecommendatloii. and the board
finally decided to defer action until
next meeting and to request the super
intendent to be present to give his
views on the matter.
A recommendation that the Young
Women's Christian association be per
mitted to use the auditorium on April
24 for the purpose of holdings gym
nastic exhibition was granted, as was
one directing the superintendent to
select n speaker for the commencement
exercises at a cost not to exceed $50.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.
The following recommendations of
the teachers' cnminlttee weie adopted-
That Miss Leila Porter be appointed
lo Xo. 14 to fill the vacancy caused liv

of $S5 per month and nf Xo. 21, $K7.."'0 pel
month. The following Important report of the
finance committee was also adopted:
With leference to seveial applications
for a ledtictlou of school taxes nn ie.il
estate, we report that, Inasmuch as the
solicitor of the hoaid has tendered an
opinion to the effect thnt the law does not
give school boards power to exonerate
property owneis from the payment of
