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If null attitles aie repealed as the one that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

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

peace; third, claims in township or
ders. He refuses to allow the $21,

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.

ing township supervisors on over-paid orders, and
on orders drawn to themselves during their terms
of ofhco and embraced on certain judgments, bate

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

and the rate of the general tax levy is mills.
Fifteenth The commissioner finds the total in
debtedness of the township of Lackawanna as
marshaled to bo $.!9,2G3.26.
THOSE NULL AND VOID.
The commissioner then finds that
claims In existence prior to November
23, 1893, are null and void, except
claims for damages that are pending;
that orders drawn on treasury by
supervisors without anything more nr
not prima facie evidence of townsh'p
indebtedness; that township orders are
not negotiable; that auditors have no
power to Issue orders on township
treasury; supervisor's orders must be
passed upon by the auditors; that In
debtedness to and from supervisors Is
determined by special tribunal; that
no claims which have not been fixed
by Judgment, auditors' settlement or
otherwise adjudicated according jo
law, cannot be allowed; that the simple
production of a statement or mem
oranda from the records Is not sutlle
lent proof nf a Judgment that has been
objected to, the proper proof Is the
production of the record or other legal
evidence; that in proof of claims the
ordinary rules of evidence should be
applied,
