SHOE STORE BOND ISSUE CALLED CLOAK OF DECEPTION CAPTAIN MAY BAYS IT IS TO HIDE EXTRA VAQANCE. Desplto All This, the Board of Con trol by a Largo Vote Decides to Fix the Tax Levy at Fourteen Mills and to Issue ?100,000 Worth of 4 1-2 Per Cent Bonds to Clear Up the Indebtedness Existing and Imminent Treasurer Given a Raise. Fourteen mills of a levy and a $100,000 Issue of ii per cent, bonds wus decided upon last night by the board of control as the means of meeting the school dis trict Indebtedness for the coming year. Captain .May opposed tho bond Issue, characterizing It as n subterfuge to hide the board's extravagance, and saying that the only honest method would be to dcclaie n. nineteen mill levy, confers to the people that tho board has'been extravagant, and prom ise that It won't occur ngnln. Captain May und Mr. Sehrelfer weru the only members to vote against the bond Issue, though Mr. Raiker, It wan undei stood, only voted for It that hs might be In u position to move for re consideration It a favorable opportun ity al rived. Those who voted In Its favor weie Mppsih. Hhtres, O'Malley, Hyiioii, Phllllpn, Hoche. Golden, Dr. O'Malley. Schaefer, N'euls, Walsh, Kvans, Batker, Langan, Schwass, Gib bons, Jayne. Messrs. Francois, Jen nings and Leonard were absent. The report of the finance committee containing the recommendation adopt ed, which was previously published In full, as lead by the committee chair man, Mr. Uvatis.

CAPTAIN MAY'S FIGUUKS. Captain May could not understand how the lommlttcc figured that only a $2,000 deficit was In sight. According to his figures the deficit, even with the bond issue, would be $17,050,000. Ills figuring was as follows: ( ,1 m r.il .in omit v'llo.O.Yl hhortdirc ivri (estimated) IV") Total 3GI,fr0 I. of i mills allowed for Kincial .-mount J7t!..'W 10 Mate .ipploprlatlon ii,7u.l 00 Totdi ?in,oi'j.io He could not understand the com mittee's way of figuring, and the com mittee could not understand his way. The committee was confident Its way was the rlsht way, and the board ac cepted It. Captain May's comments of the pio pnsed bond Issue were Interpreted to be quite ns much a criticism on the board's conduct of school affairs dur ing the p.ist year as it was on the bond Issue Itself. "Even with the bond Issue." he went on to say, "you have a $20,000 general account deficit In sight. You propos" to make this gooO at the expense of the building fund. It Is simply it de ception to be practiced on the public. We have been extravagant, and to hide It we propose to Issue bonds. Bond Issues tiro generally supposed to be fot contemplated expenditures. We would have tho public suppose such Is the case in this Instance. We should put tho dellelt in the tax levj and say to the people we were extravagant; for give us this time and we won't do It again. "I do not say that the money has been dishonestly spent. All I charge Is that we have been extravagant. The tendency of u bond Issue will be to ci'; nte further extravagance. This Is tru- In any business and especially true In public affniis." Mr. Gibbons assailed Captain May's sincerity and chaiacterlzed his speech as being mainly an effort of one of the minority to prejudice tho people against the majority members of the board. He also vigorously denied the nlleged extiavaganco and made the claim that the district's Indebtedness was comparatively small, being less than jnOO.OOO. Mr. Eynon presented figures to show that the net Indebtedness April 13, last, was only J241.S0S.91. Mr. Evans fol lowed with a reminder that $123,000 woith of new property was Included In this Indebtedness. TREASrKKU'.S SALAHV. The finance committee transmitted a communication from City Treasurer E. J. Robinson, calling attention to the fact that the transfer uf the mercantile tax collections to the county treasurer's office had cut down his revenues ftom Jl.SOO to $1,S00 a year, and asking that In view of this, and the Increased ex pense of his olllce growing out of In creased business, he bo allowed 's per cent, commission on disbursements, in stead of one per cent., as formerly. The request was granted by a vote of 11 to 9 after a motion to make It one per cent., as at present, was defeated on n tlo vote, as follows: Ajes Messrs. .Phillips, (iolden, Uoche, May, Schaefcr, Walsh, i;vans, ! briefer, Darker. 9, Naj s MesM s, ihlres, O'Malley, llvnon, Pr. O'Malley, Neuls, Langan, Khvvass, f.ibbons Jayne 9. Messrs. Phillips and Schaefer voted with tho nine favoring one and a half per cent., when tho one per cent, mo tion had been defeated. This increased commission will raise the treasurer's pay for handling school board funds from J1.000 to $6,000 u ytiir. The delinquent tux collector of tho Eighth ward was directed to report n. soventy-one per cent, exoneration on the Ion Lutheran church parsonage, so that the $3,500 assessment will be reduced to $1,500 to conform with the city assessment. This roundabout means of correcting the assessment was necessitated bv the fact that tho board, under an opinion of Solicitor D. J. Heedy rendered somo tlmo ago, can not alter an assessment. A communication was received from the Scranton Lodge of the National Association of Stationary Engineers, deprecating the practice of placing In experienced men In charge of the steam plants at public school buildings.

On the recommendation of the teach ers' committee. It was decided to close tho schools Friday, June 22. Mr. Gibbons entered a protest against tho action of the building committer In awarding contracts for steel ceilings In the three new buildings without com petitive bids being Invited, but did not oppose the payment of the bills. The Summit Avenue Presbyterian church and the Court Street Methodist Episcopal church were granted the use of a room in No. 20 bulldlnc on Sun days. Captain May contended this was Illegal, but when Secretary Fellows, at the icquest of Mr. Gibbons, read from State Supcilntendent Schaeffer's com ments on the school laws, that school buildings should not be permitted to be used for any other tha Innocent pui poses tending to the Improvement of the youth of the land, Captain May was loft to vote singly and alone. Solicitor D. J. Heedy was Instructed, at the suggestion of President Jayne, to proceed with the preparation of til. new bonds. Prior to the meeting a delegation of the primary and Intermediate teach eis wulted on the teachers' committee and presented arguments In support of their claim for an Increase of $15 a month for those ot their number who have been teaching ver fifteen years. They, at present, receive $.15 a month. The increase would not amount to $S00 a month, as there are onlv about half a hundred of the teaching corps who would be entitled to the raise.

Moody, in wilting for the Satin day Evening Post the life of his father, Dwlght L. Moody, tells many good stoiles of the famous evan gelist. In one he says: "As a boy in Northficld he had achieved remark able results In swelling the attendance at the Sunday school, and so, arguing from that, he conceived the Idea that he rould bo of much value to Ply mouth church as a recruiting agent. Having come to this decision h" hired a pew with the understanding that he was to Mil it each Sunday. Like ev erything else he undertcok, he fulfill ed his eonimls'slon with intonse earn estness and enthusiasm. He did not wait for the young men to come to c'nuich, but he went after them, stop ping them on street corners, visiting them In their lonely rooms, nnd even calling them out of saloons. It was altogether new .rid btrange nnd the novelty of the whole woik hnd an Irre sistible effect, with the consequence that in a short time young Moody was renting Mx pews which he filled with his strange and motley guests. "Theie wns a little mIslon on North Wells street and he applied for a elaxs. He was told that the sixteen teachers weie amply able to Instinct the twelve scholars, but If he would provide his own class they would be very glad to have him. This was just what Mr. Moody wanted. Next Sunday tbore was a sensation. Young Moody opene 1 the door and led In a piocesslon of eighteen little 'hoodlums' whom be had gathered from the streets." REPUBLICAN STATE TION.

No. 2 Was Shut Down About Threo Weeks Ago and Yesterday tho Men at No. 1 Refused to Go to Work. They Allego That Their Employers Have Not Kept Faith with Them. An Outline of Their Grievances on the Dockage and Other Matters as Thoy Present Them. Three hundred miners and laborers employed by Jermyn & Co. at their No. 1 mine, at Old Forge, went on sttlkc yesterday morning, throwing as many more men and boys out ot employment. No. 2 collleiy was shut down about threo weeks ago, when rumors of a strike were mevalent at that place. About 600 men nnd boys are also cm- ployed nt that place. These are the collleiles at which tho men went on strike last October. The strike was finally settled late In No vember. An effort was made to oper ate the mines without the aid ot tho strikers during last fall, but they ic slsted and deputy sheriffs had to be employed to protect the workmen. The killing of Police oniccr Patrick I5af forty and the serious injury to Officer Thomas McKenna by Thomas Lit del on who wns convicted of murder two weeks ago, were an Indirect result ot tho strike. When seen yesterday afternoon, Jo soph J. Jermyn, ot the firm of Jerm; n & Co., refused to make any statement concerning the strike. "I don't think tho public are Interested In this at all," ho said, "and I must refuse to make any statement with reference, to It." WHAT THE MINERS SAY. The miners allege that they have a triple cause for complaint against their employeis. One of the ofllccis of the Mine Workers' union, at Old Forge, said yesterday: "Things have not been going along very smooth since the last strike. At No. 2 there Is a layer of soapstone rock from six Inches to two feet In thick ne.s over tho coal. The custom was to leave this stand after tho coal was removed and keep It In place by means of props, but so many men were killed and Injured by falls of this stuff that the mine Inspector ordered that It b taken down as fast as the coal wns removed fiom beneath It. The miners did not feel they could do this addi tional amount of mining for nothing, and after a conference with Jermyn & Co. were allowed fifty cents a yard for It. When the men went back after the strike they weie not allowed for this yardage, and have not been at any time since. "This displeased them, and when they noticed that men who had been In nny way prominent In tho strike wero being discharged at every opportunity they became resentful, and there was some talk of a strike. When this be came noised about tho mine shut down for repairs and has since remained sliut down. It has been idle now a little over three weeks. TROUBLE OVER DOCKING. "At No. 1 shaft prominent members of the union were also discharged, and there wns also a good deal of trouble over the docking. When we went back to work last November we did so on it vet bal agreement that we would not ho docked unless the amount of look In a car exceeded M0 pounds. If It went over 1.000 pounds we wanted the miner called out and warned, and If ho continued to load that much lock thereafter we would not oppose his dis missal. "This agreement has been ignored by our employers, who have been docking us risht along for small amounts of rock, and they have clocked us for put tine; small coal in the cars, although they afterwards scieened and sold It. Friday we went to Joseph J. Jermyn to talk over our troubles w ith him. but his conduct and language weie such that our committee had to leave. "When a report was made to the union of what had been done, a strike was at once ordered, and this inninitr; when the whistle blow there was no one to go down Into the mine. "We will not go back until wo haw a thorough understanding about tho matter of dockage and the dlschaig.. of union men. Wo also want a restor ation of the yardage paid for taking down soapstono rock." No attempt was made yesterdnv to operate either No. 1 or No. 2 by Jermyn & Co. Steam Heating and Plumbing. P. V. & M.
