THE GRAND JURY SCORES A REPORTER Story in Thursday's Times About De tectives on Grand Jury Is Brand ed as Utterly False Judge Edwards' Approval. When tho grand jury made Its return yesterday morning the following sup plementary report was ottered: To the Honorable Court, The grand Jury of this county now in session bee. to tall the attention of the court to the In sulting article which appeared in the scruntuu Times yesterday. This article contains state ments end Insinuations which wc denounce as false in every particular and pray that the couit will use tho means at its command to stop lui ther publications of such a character. M. 1.. Smith, Foreman. Attest: W. Hodhy, Secretary. Scranton, Sept. 13, 1900. In regard to the report, Judge Ed wards said: JlPGE EDWARDS' REMARKS. The communication referred by tho grand jury to the court is a proper one to make, and I was very much si'rprised in.vsclf to see the article In the newspaper lefcrred to in regard to pro ceedings before the grand jury and in regard lo the presence of cerUin gentlemen either in the grand jury room or near the grand Jury room. Of course, 1 have already 'aid to each of you, so that jou coulj all hear, that under no cir cumstances must a grand Juror disclose to a re porter or to anybody else even the names of the cases that have been before the grand Jury, much less any action which takes place in the grand jury room. Tho reporters of our city arc of a very enterprising class, and during the sessions of the grand Jury they are generally to be found around the corridors and they arc asking ques tions ol the tipstaves and district attorney and of the grand Jurors. It Is highly improper. I believe that all reporters should keep away from the entrances and approaches to the grand jury room, The people are Interested only in finding out what the oQIcial action of the grand jury is, and It would satisfy public Interest to have the newupapen slmplj make a record of the le turns of the grand jurv after they have been nude. Xow, that Is legitimate news, ami that they can get from the clerk aflei the Indictment and the letuins of the grand Juiy have been filed. If null attitles aie repealed as the one that you complain of hue, we have the power to send for the editor of tho newspaper, and we will exercise that power if we tlnil it necessarj. We shall piobably not do it now on tills one oc casion, lie-cause I think the article very likely lesultcd from the extia real, as It were, on the part of the reporter, but it is a mistake. Publication of the article was a mistake, and as yim say the information contained in It Is absolutely false. 1 am glad that jou put your selves on moid so that the people will know that such aitlons as were referred to In the newspaper could not possibly occur before this giand Juiy. I will tilled jour communication to be Bled so that vonr rtatement will go upon record and to that the people will know what action von have taken In regard to the publication of such articles. I notify the tirtaws who have charge of the grand Jury that all persons must be kept away from ih corridors and from the approaches to the grand j e 1 1 loom, except prosecutors and witnesses; nobody else has a light to he near the precincts of the grand Jury. The article teferred to appeared in Wednesday's Times und implied that there were paid detectives In the em ploy of the Men's union on the present grand Jury. The Information which led to this statement was alleged to have come from members of the Men's union, and In the article a representa tive of the union was eiuoted as saying in answer to an interrogation by the Times scribe that among the Jury men there were union sleuths, One of the attorneys for the associ ation yesterday utterly denied that there were any regulor detectives on the grand Jury, but said that theie were certuln persons interested enough In the present crusading work to In form the members of tho union of any Irregularities going on In the Jury- J'lir - 'i grand Jurors themsr-lves did not gl.- any Information, as they are pre venied by oath from divulging any of the transactions which take place. From all present Indications there was merely a gross misunderstanding between tho Times man and the tepre sentatlve of the Men's union. ECONOMY IN CITY SCHOOLS. Mr. Evans Will Confer with Teachers About the Supplies. Tho pilnclpals of all the city schools will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing In tho city hall, and confer with Controller Evans, chairman of tho supply committee, regarding the dls ttibutlon of school supplies during the coming year. There has been a general feeling of dissatisfaction at the rapid manner In which pads, pencils, etc., disappear, and Mr. Evans has now hit on a plan which he thinks will be conducive to economy In this line. He Intends arranging a system by which each teacher will have a regu lar account with every pupil In his or her room. By this means each puplt In the same grade will receive an equal amount of supplies, and If any particu lar student applies for more pads or pencils than any other student, he will be obliged to show cause for his re quest, It Is believed that by thus using a systematic plan, a large amount of supplies will be saved, which would otherwise 'be wasted. MARSHAL QUINNAN HAS FILED REPORT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF BO GUS ORDERS ISSUED. He Finds That of the Total Indebted ness of $30,203.25 tho Illegal Or ders and Claims Aggregate 2r 104.45 Findings of Fact In Which tho Marshal Tells of the Outrageous Manner in Which Township Orders Were Forged and Issued in Duplicate. Attorney John P. Qulnnan, who wa3 appointed by the court to ascertain the Indebtedness ot Lackawanna township, filed his report with tho court j'esterday. He found tho total Indebtedness of tho township as marshaled, Including Interest, to bo $39,263.25; subtracting $21,164.45 disallowed claims from this, leaves an Indebtedness of $18,098.80. The cost ot tho marshaling proceed ings Is $4,460.43, The marshal's fee Is $2,460, and the stenographer's $760. This added, brings tho total Indebted ness o Lackawanna township to $22, E59.23. Mr. Qulnnan divided the claims un der three heads: First, claims In Judgment In the court of common pleas of Lackawnnnna county; sec ond, claims In Judgment3 obtained be fore aldermen and justices ot the peace; third, claims in township or ders. He refuses to allow the $21, 164.45 for the reason that fraud, for gery and sharp practice ot all kinds had been resorted to get Judgments against tho township. Tho following nio Mr. Qulnnan's findings of facts: FINDING OF FACTS. First that the borough of Taylor was Incorpor ated on the 23rd ot November, 1S03, and was erected out of territory which, previous to that dale, was a portion of the township of Lacka wanna. Second That the township of Lackawanna was marshaled under the act of June 12r 187S, P. L 1841, to Xo. 3, May term, 1811, in the court of common pleas in Ijckawanna county, "In equity," and its Indebtedness ascertained up to the 23rd of November, ISO!, tho date of the In corporation ot the borough of Taj lor, and a levy directed by the aforesaid court made and collected to pay off the existing indebtedness. Third That certain debts ot the township of Lackawanna, which were In existence at the date of the incorporation of the borough of Taylor, constitute the basis ol certain claims presented to the commissioner in the present proceedings. Fourth That township orders paid and turned Into the township auditors in settlements of su pervisors' accounts were not cancelled. These orders found their way into circulation and were presented to the commissioner as claims against the township of Lackawanna, or were used to evidence claimz sued in the common pleas or before justices of the peaco and aldermen. Judg ments obtained upon these orders embraced sev eral ot tho claims presented. Fifth That forged township orders. In conjune Hon with forged assignment of claims, were used as evidence to secure judgment against the town ship of Lackawanna, and these Judgments offered to the commissioner as claims against the town ship. WAY IT WAS DOSE. Sixth That orders upon the township treasury drawn and signed by the township auditors, and Judgments evidenced by such auditors, were pre sented as claims against the township. Seventh That suits against the township ol Lackawanna were Instituted on endoiscd township orders, and the actions maintained In the name of the holders for the amount of the orders, Eighth That with few exceptions the Judg ments obtained against the township were default Judgments. Ninth That claims alleged to be due and ow ing township supervisors on over-paid orders, and on orders drawn to themselves during their terms of ofhco and embraced on certain judgments, bate been presented to the commissioner. Tenth That tor the time covered by these pro ceedings the township of Lackawanna has no record of its official transactions, the records having been stolen. Eleventh' That claims against the township ol Lackawanna, which in the aggregate exceeded the Juilsdictlon of aldermen and justices of the peace, were so divided as to bring them within their jurisdiction ami suits Instituted and Judg ments obtained on some before aldermen and Jastices of the peace. Twelfth In the most instances the only evi dence of such assignments of claims against the township to 1 lie holders of such claims was a blank endorsement on the orders by the payees. Thirteenth 1 hat there is no money now in the Lackawanna township treasury and no outstand ing solvent debt, and no revenue applicable with in one 3 ear to the panicnt ot the debt of said township. Fourteenth That the borough of Sfoosic has, since the beginning of these proceedings, been erected out of a portion of Lackawanna and duly incorporated on the 2Sth ol November, 180, The assessed valuation of taxable propertv ot the township of Lackawanna for the scar 1WQ is S7S1,5OT, and the rate nf the general tax levj, six mills. The assessed valuation of taxable property In the borough of Mooslc Is $278,699, and the rate of the general tax levy is mills.
