charges openly ronde In thr public
prehs or the city of Scranton that cer
tain members of the councils of said
city had demanded and received from
persons Interested In this passage or
defeat of the measure before salu
councils, known ns the Lackawanna
Telephone company ordinance, larffo
sums of money as bribes to lnllucnce
their votes on said ordinance.
Third The further rumors and
charges made that certain councllmen
of the city of Scranton had demamted
and received from perrons Interestod
In the passage, through the councils
of salj city of Scranton, a measure
commonly known as "The Electric
Light Ordinance," largo sums of
money as bribes to secure their votes
for said ordinance.
DISCUSStNO THEIR WOHK.
We respectfully report that we de
voted ten days of the time that we
have been lu session to the exclusive
consideration of the above matters:
that during that time we worked ar
duously and Inquired diligently Into
the matters befoio us. We made con
stant use of the district attorney's of
fice mid nnrtlcularlv of the county de
tective, whoso whole time was taken ,
up In serving subpoenas for witnesses
called before us. A large number of
ultnesses weie oIfo served with sub
poenas by members of our own body.
Notwithstanding the activity on the
part of the county detective and mem
bers of the Jury, during the latter part
of our session wc were obliged to .seek
the assistance of the sheriff, fiom
whose olllce many subpoenas wore
served. During the portion of the ses
sion devoted to the above matters, we
examined over 100 witnesses, some of
whom were recalled several I lines.
As a result of our investigation,
we deplore the necessity that compels
us to report that the rumors and
charges, which, in the opinion of the
honorable court and ourselves, made
necessary this investigation, are
based all too firmly on facts and
truth. We find that a condition ex
ists in this community -which, to all
right minded citizens, must be ap
palling. Its correction demands the
earnest and intelligent effort of all
public officials, whoso duty it is to
seo that the laws are obeyed, and
who have not yet been contami
nated by the seducing wiles of the
briber. The task is so great that in
its performance the officers of the
law should receive the active co
operation of all public-spirited cit
izens who have the welfare of the
community at heart.
We take up the matters presented to
us seriatim:
A rONSPIIlAl'V KXISTEIJ.
The slot machines: This matter was
presented to us for our consideration
on account of the ficuucnt and per
sistent rumors and charges that were
made, that In this city there existed a
vast conspiracy In which were gath
ered publl . odlclals, their agents and
others, the object of which was to per
mit the operation of these gambling
devices in consideration of the pay
ment of the Mini of $." per week by
those so operating them to the mem
bers of the conspiracy. Wc llnd that
such a conspiracy did exist and hud
existed for a long period prior tu the
issuance of an order by the mayor of
the city some time lu Fcbiuary last.
The evidence wc heard in lelatlon to
this matter would 1111 several large
sized volumes. Much of It was value
less. None of It enabled us to ascer
tain with a degree of positlvcness
necessary to bring Indictments against
the real head or heads of the conspir
acy that is to say, who the persons
were who were In a position to offer
the "protection" which, In the opinion
of the Jury, the law-breakers so long
enjoyed. That this tribute of $5 per
week was pretty gt: orally paid and
that the agents of the conspiracy suc
ceeded remarkably well In inducing
their guilty victims to believe that the
"protection" they offered was well
worth the tribute demanded, and was
not "mythical, but real. Is easily ln
ferre'd from the evidence. Significant
of this is the tact that In the case of
those "witnesses who admitted they
paid the weekly tribute, thete always
followed the further statement that
they understood that every one paid.
Moreover, whenever It was actually
found that if the tribute was not paid
the evidence of arrest and confisca
tion of the slot machine followed.
There was no lack of evidence that of
ficers and quasl-otncers advised other
officials seemingly mote zealous than
themselves to cease Interfering with
persons operating these slot machines.
In some Instances this advice assumed
tjie nature of a tlueat, and aldermen
and constables were told that dire ca
lamities would befall them; that valu
able patronage would be lost; their
defeat at coming elections secured If
they did not cease Issuing and serving
warrants on the owners and operators
of the slot machines. Even the mem
bers of the grand Jury were not Im
mune from these threats, and word
was conveyed to at least one of them
that a position which he sought would
be refused him If he did not lessen his
efforts to secure the conviction of these
law-violators.
These were some of the obstacles
which confronted us, and the dltllculty
In securing evidence In cases of tills
nature Is our only excuse for not se
curing creator results.
BRIBERY OF COUNCILS! EN.
Second The alleged bilbery of coun
cllmen In the matter of the passage
of the Lackawanna Telephone com
pany ordinances.
These chaigcs were made openly In
the public streets and printed In the
press. In relation to these wo sub
poenaed nearly every member of both
" branches of councils; also those whom
rumor charged with having any
Knowledge whatever of the bribery
'alleged. This included those persons
Vfh6m 'rumor said paid the bribe

enterprise seeking the franchise as
well as those Interested lu the already

established competing company. The
evidence we received was disappoint
ing. The difficulties were great. They
must be so from the very naturo of
the offense. The crime of bribery
necessarily comprehends two distinct
parties, each of whom Is equally
guilty. First the briber and then the
bribed. The evidence of the one that
might convict the other would also
convict him of the first part and vice
versa. So both parties take the de
fensive and "remain silent. It Is ob
vious that the evidence of the third
parly must be secured. But such of
fenses are not committed in the pres
ence of witnesses. Both parties use
every precaution that human Intelli
gence can devise. The language of
the guilty compact Is that of Insinua
tion and Innuendo. In the cases that
were brought before our attention,
"You've got to play ball." "We're not
In councils for our health." and other
expressions In which the English lan
guage Is peculiarly rich, seem to be
the favorite medium of conveying the
desired Intelligence. The evidence
taken as a whole, however, seems to
Justify us In nrrlvlng nt the conclusion
that large sums of money were used
both to secure the passage of the Lack
awanna Telephonu ordinance and also
to accomplish Its defeat. The exist
ence of a body of councllmen, banded
together to act as a unit on legislative
measures, wherein franchises of value
arc sought, Is a belief that has almost
become a conviction to a large ma
jority of the grand Jury. We are aware
that such a statement as this
'onX
place under suspicion hone3t and
honorable members of the Scranton
city councils, and we deplore the pos
slbllltv of such a result, but we trust
that the Intelligent public will have no

denco before us was, of such a nature
that we could bring Indictments
against those whom we think are guil
ty, and thus separate them from those
against whom no evidence was
brought, cither hearsay or direct. This,
however, we are not permitted to do.
In connection with this case sub
poenas were Issued for a number of
persons whom wo have every reason
to believe could give us valuable evi
dence, but service could not be made
for the teasnii that they had left the
Jtnlsdiction of the olllcers of the court
and therefore could not bo reached.
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORDINANCE.
Thlid Bribery of councllmen In con
nection with the passage of the elec
tric light ordinance.
In connection with this matter we
lccelved but very little evidence, and
what little we did get was not of a
nature to be at all conclusive. Power
ful Influences lobbyed In the Interest
nf the measure, and In one Instance
wo learned that 5100 hnd been offered
to a minor official as a "present," If
he would hurry along the final con
summation of the contract. This offer
was not accepted, and while the offer
Itself was In the highest degree repre
hensible we are advised that It would
not form u sufficient basis for an In
dictment. In concluding our report on the mat
ters especially entrusted to us by the
honorable court and concerning which,
the above, In addition to the present
mnts already made, comprise our en
tire action, we wish to make public
acknowledgment of the great assist
ance of his honor, Judgo Edwards,
has been to us, and thus commend
him for the patience with which he
has listened to our requests for ad
vice, the zeal he ha3 dlsplayod for the
public welfare and the uniform court
esy he has shown every member of
this body who had occasion to consult
him during the lengthy session that
we have Just concluded.
Wc wish to call the attention of the
honorable court to another matter,
which appears to us nothing short of
a pieconcelved. wilful and malicious
effort on the part of aldermen and
justices of the peace to plunder the
county tieasury. During our session
something over one hundred trans
cripts charging larceny and iccelvlng
stolen goods came before us. In fully
ninety-five per cent, of these cases
there were neither prosecutor nor wit
nesses. In nearly all of these cases
th jury was, through what appears
to us a trick of the aldermen, pre
vented from exercising Its judgment
In the disposition of costs. The law
provides that In such cases, when the
value of the stolen goods Is ten dol
lars or more, the costs, when the case
falls, must be placed upon the county.
In nearly all of these cases probably
ninety or more In which prosecutors
did not appear, the aldermen and Jus
tices had so appraised the value of
the stolen property, as to takt; the
matter of costs away fiom the Jury.
We nre very strong In the opinion
that thee casss at least the greater
majority of them were fictitious, pur
posely drawn up by unscrupulous al
dermen and justices with a view of
falsely and fraudulently drawing
nnney from the county treasury. In
regard to the manner In which alder
men recklessly fix value of stolen
propei ty, we desire to draw the hon
orable ourt's attention to a trans
cilpt sent into the jury room by Jus
tice Mendleon. of Maylleld, in which
the Justice fixed the value of cabbage,
alleged to have been rtolen In Octo
ber last, at fifteen cents a head. In
TIIIEVINC, ALDERMEN.
Tn this case the prosecutor appeared.
but failed to secure a true bill, and the
county has to pay the costs because
the Justice fixes the value of one hun
died heads of cabbage at $l!i; while
we believe other values fixed by al
dermen on stolen property to be equal
ly false, wo call the couit's attention
to this particular transcript to show
the glaring boldness of aldermen and
Justices In depriving giand jurors of
the right to exercise their Judgment
In the disposition of costs In cases
that are Ignored, for want nf a prose
cutor or In the absence of sufficient
tfFtlmony. We hope If there Is a rem
edv to prevent or check In some-measure
this vicious pilfering, the court
will exercise It.
Wo visited the county Jail. Wo are
of the opinion that It Is In a most
unsanitary condition, and a fit place
for the board of health to turn its at
tention. The escaping gases from the
closets In the cells are most offensive,
and npt to breed pestilence. We are
told by the warden that the closets
referred to belonged to nn obsoleto
period in plumbing nnd sanitation. It
seems to us nothing short of cruelty
to keep prisoners In cells where the
air Is poisoned with esceplng sewer
gases. We deem this u matter that
should received Immediate attention.
After a careful examination of the
prison, we are of the opinion that It
does not receive the attention that such
valuable property deserves. In several
places, noticeably In the south wing
for want of repairs to roof gutters, the
rain soaks through the plastered walls
of the Interior. We llnd the Jail walls,
especially on the west side, need atten
tion. The masonry Immediately under
the coping shows evidence of decay.
The boiler In the Jail kitchen Is In need
of repairs, or should be replaced with
a new boiler.
The Jury further recommend that the'
commissioners give some attention to
the court house grounds, take somo
steps to beautify and make .attractive
tho same. We would suggest that
these grounds be turned Into a park,
furnished with benches, llehted with
electricity, provided with a band stand,
and made an attractive and healthful
breathing cpot duilng tho warm
months.
Wo further recommend that the
Bradshaw Automatic Window Openet
be placed on the Cour House windows.
We fuither recommend that tha
county commissioners have the Interior
walls of the court house repainted
wherever such Improvement Is neceH
sarv. Realizing the necessity and appre
ciating the extra work dono by our
secretary, M. E. Flynn, by taking: down
tho mass of evidence In this Investlsu-
Hon, wc further recommend that he bo
suitably recompensed for his labors.

JUDGE EDWARDS' COMMENTS.
After reading 'the report carefully
Judgo Edwards turned to the Jury and
said:
"We will direct your report, gentle
men of the Jury, to be filed. It meets
with our approval. The part referring
to the county Jail and court house will
be referred to the county commission
ers, I nm sorry there Is no law allowing
us to provide extra compensation for
the gentleman who acted as secretary
of the grand Jury. He will have to bo
satisfied. by feeling that he has done his
duty and done It well,
"Before I discharge you I want to
commend your action ns a grand Jury.
A large number of you have been
In dally attendance upon the pub
lic duties for the space of three
weeks, but you must consider that your
action has been for the public What
ever you have done will be for the
benefit of the public.
"I appreciate the difficulty that the
grand Jury have been laboring under
In obtaining direct evidence In regard
to the bribery of councllmen. There
Is so much hearsay testimony and In
shape or rumors that It is enough al
most to produce a moral conviction in
the minds of the grand Jury.
"Theie is much corruption anions'
ntir nnnnnllmnn nnrl flirt pnrn nnrt ills-
cretlon you have used by not allowing
hearsay testimony to induce you to
find Indictments where there was no
real or direct evidence to obtain con
viction Is commendable. The result

the effet,t' Th0UBh ,he Indictments

the effect of your Investigation and
the fear that has existed In somo per
sons during your Inquisition will be
far reaching nnd will have the 'effect
of toning up the moral sense of tho
community nnd maybo the entering
wrtge to discover the corruption upon
the streets and In the newspapers. I
want each of you to leel that your
action throughout has the full com
mendation of the couit. I want to
suggest that you keep secret all the
matters that transpired before the

you with the thanks of the court for

New Costumes and Skirts
Fashions have changed. As noiselessly as the frost
gathers on the window pane, the eel-tight skirt has given
place to less rigorous style and a style that admits ol
sate variation. The plait, widening as it runs down from
the waist line; several plaits, widening in the same way,
but lying very flat; a hand plait that seems to hold a trans
verse puckering of the skirt take your choice.
But the cut is not half the battle in making a Woman's
Tailored Suit it's the tailoring. And we are glad to have
had something to do with raising the standard of it. The
bodice or jacket is fashioned worked into enduring good
shape by the tailors as they build it. No mere shaping
of the cloth, and sewing it up, will give the effect.
Do not imagine that our authoritative posi
tion in matters of woman's dress has been gained
by chance very serious, intelligent hard work
has won it.
