Jurors.
IMItor of The Tribune.
Sir: I solicit the fnor of enough of our
valuable spaie in which to espress injsclf on tlie
mattir of the "censure" of the late grand juiy,
which, under the clicumtanccs, f consider a
compliment.
In tlio premises, 1 desire to state tliat 1 bear
tlio honor of being a member of the bir and an
otluer of the court of the count of Lackawanna,
and, as such, am amenable to tlie court nt all
times fur my speech and conduct. If my action
lus been Midi as to deserve reprimand, it was
the duty of tlie grand jur.v to bring such action
to the notice of tlio court by foim-il presentment.
Their faiiuie tn ilu so proves condu'Ivcly to
luy mind that they lined not. Any statements
I have made, I stand prepared tn substantiate
at the pmper time, b.v competent evidence; and,
as a matter of fact, 1 did substantiate the state
ments by legal piool before that augu-t body,
the grand jiuj, and I still insist tliat those
statements aie true and entirely warranted, not
withstanding the asseitlnn of the jury to the con
trary As .in liidivhluil and a I eprcscnt.it ive of
the Municipal league and the Men's union, 1 de
siie to estend my appreciation and thanks to
them for tho work they did do. Tor, In tlio
main, they "have wiought i good woik."
Nevertheless, the gland ui ignored evciy Sun
day selling ease brought before it by the people
I have tlie honor of rcpioscnting; while, in con
tradistinction, it found true bills In every case,
vcith one exception, whcie the chiige was silling
without license, while the prepondennce of evi
dence was in favor of tlie foinier, as the following
table shows:
John Colcmni, selling without li

Thomas (.'eirlty, selling without li

Janus J. Kelly, selling on Suiida ;
same witnesses "Ignoied."
Ilio "ninth" paragiapli of the "return" is
absolutely inexplicable and dearly elescives tho
attention of the court:
"The grand jury believes that an explanation
Is duo tlie eouit for the number of eases for

the grand juiy does not deslic to gu on moid
as being In favor of Sundiy violations of the
llipior law, ct we believe tliat the public Inter
est will bo served b Ignoring these eases, be
lieving that tlie vlolatois will nase their wrong
doing." Wcie these sime jmors not sworn indlvldinlly
and collectively to leave no one unpii.cntcd for
fear, favoi, affection, hope of rcw.ud, or gain
but to pioscnt all things trudy as they came to
their knowledge?

Phi ho not tell them that if a prima faelo ease
was made out it was their duty to return a tiuc
bill?
Have they kept their oath?
Have they not shown favor?
Have they not acknowledged In their r-port
that they showed favoi?
They might h.no just as well returned in a

nore this case as the defendant has promised to
hereafter ohsene the law and we believe he will,
aud because the Almighty forgive Pavid tho

COMMITTEES DID
SOME INVESTIGATING
REPORTED FINDINGS TO BOARD
OF CONTROL.
Lively Debate Over the Report of tho
Teachers' Committee with Refer
ence to Night Schools and tho
Qualifications of tho Teachers Who
Are to Be Employed Schools Will
Open Next Monday Night Sug
gestion to Change District Lines
Referred Back to Committee.
Jttit a month ago last night School
Controllers 1'vnns and Gibbons had an
exceedingly lively wrangle over some
woik done nround No. 13 school, which
Mr. Gibbons charged Mr. Kvans with
having authorized. Mr. Kvans sought
vindication two weeks ago nnd suc
ceeded In having a special committee
nppolntcd to investigate the matter.
The committee presented the following
report nt last night's meeting of the
school board, which was read and
ordered Hied:
To the Hoard of Control. Seranton, Pa.
('cntlciurn: The siiecial committee appointed
to look Into tlio matter of tiie work done on the
retaining wall at No. 13 school this summer,
went to the building on tlie afternoon of the
loth instant, a'companicd by other members of
Jour body.
'lhe found lint tlie wall on this noitlieaslcrly
and southcily sides had been e hanged so tliat the
top would be boilontal instead of following
the gi uh' of th ground as !( had been origin-ill)
built, and that on a part of Hie northwesterly
side and em a put of the soutliwcsleily side a
new wall had been constructed.!
Theie Is no question in tho minds of the com
mittee that the change Is an Improvement, al
though not absolutely niiessary. The criticism
is that in dannge xvo'ild have been done had
the woik b"cn postponed until the wall already
erected icquired icpairs or until tlio district was
in a belter finat'dal condition. Tlie wall was
originally built in ls'ri, or onl) four jears ago.
and eouhl have been left tor a number of Jems
without being touched, thereby saving much of
the l,t-'.'0, which was expended in making tho
el anges Hie past siaunur.
We eouhl not find tint tlie work had been
nuthotized b.v tlie bo..iel or Iho building com
mittee. When Ih" latter made their usual early
xislt to see what repairs were ncoessir), tho
change in 'lie will was spokm of, and a note
nude of It b.v tli.' superintendent of repairs, rh"
councilor cf Hie w.erd chums he bad nothing
to elo with letting th- eoii'ract for these changes
although he knew of it.
It seems to jour committee that where so
mm h lrrnev is tn be 'sp-nt, as was expended
in this ease, tlie work should not bo undertaken
without tlie approval of the boird and should
be legally advertised. It Is a ver loose wav
of doing the business of the hoarel, and if it
does not lead tn actual dishonesty, it blings
about many iircgularilica anil great extrava
gances, W, . May,
John O'Malley.
Louis Schwa!.
TIIE WINDOW SHADES.
Another Investigating committee
also presented a report. Tills was tho
committee appointed to investigate the
facts surrounding tho letting of a big
contract for window shades by the
building committee. This committee
reported that they found that a
contract for Venetian blinds for three
schools had been let by tho building
committee, the total amount of the
contract being $9S3.
These Venetian blinds cost three
times ps much as Holland shades,
said the report, but as there was a
ten-year guarantee they would per
haps be cheaper in the mil. The com
mittee had received bids from several
parties for Venetian blinds and the
lowest bid received was only ?5.72 less
than the price contrncted for by tho
building committee. They enclosed an
opinion from tho board's attorney,
stating that as the board had not au
thorized the contract, tho district
could not be held liable for the bill.
Tl.is report was also received and
tiled.
The following recommendations of
tlie teachers' committee were adopted
with out debate:
That Miss Catherine Hastings bo
permanently appointed to No. S an
nex. That Miss Anna L. Harrett, teacher
in primary C grade, No. 16, be credited
with primary C work for one year in
pilmary A grade, in adjustment of
salary.
The other. recommendations of this
committee, however, were discussed
for over half nn hour. The first to re
ceive, nttentlon was one requiring all
night school pupils to register with tlio
secretary of tho board. This was tin
ally voted clown aud It was decided to
nllow the pupils to register with the
principals of the various schools for
the four days preceding the opening of
tlies night schools, and at the night
schools themselves two nights before
their opening.
NIGHT SCHOOL THACHEKS.
The second recommendation was that
only those night school teachers should
boappolnted who possessed the same
qualifications as day school teachers.
Tills was vigorously discussed und was
finally amended to read "until the sup
ply of such teachers is exhausted, when
only those who shall be High school
graduates shall be engaged."
Tlie last recommendation, and the
one that was fought until it was finally
voted down, was one recommending
that all boys under twenty-ono years
of age now out or. striko be admitted,
upon application, to the public school
located In the district in which they
live.
Tho general sentiment was that in
stead of ciowding the day schools to
accommodate these transient pupils,
the night schools hhould be opened at
once and that they be allowed to at
tend them. It was pointed out that
letting them attend the day schools
would require the hiring of a large
number of extra teacheis and the rent
ing of additional annexes.
The boaid finally decided to open the
night schools next Monday night and
to le'iivo the cngaglng of teachers to
the vailous controllers, their action to
be afterwards approved by tho board.
The following tepoit of ho building
committees were adopted without dis
cussion: The building commuter recommend tliat tho
ah.iy of the unitoi at No. 2 Uo lived at &0
per mouth, and that he be paid $13 additional
for de.iuing, havln; alieady been paid ?l.1.

OBSERVANCE OF
NEW YEARS DAY
Hebrew Residents of This City Yes
terday Appropriately Celebrated
the First Day of Their Year.
Services in celebration of tho Jewish
New Year were conducted throughout
the various city synagogues yesterday
morning-, and everywhere the Hebrew
citizens scrupulously observed the day.
Scranton's busy business thorough
fares were dotted with establishments
that were closed In honor of "Hosh
Itashonah," while the propiletors nnd
their families attended divine worship
nt the temples, and fittingly observed
one of the greatest and most axe-ln-spiiing
of nil the holidays of the Jew
ish calendar.
From JO o'clock to VI o'clock in tho
morning alt the Seranton synagogues
were thronged with xvorshippers, and
the afternoon and remainder of the day
was entirely devoted to happiness and
merriment. This festival Is one of joy
and mirth, and everyone beginning the
year with the customary good resolu
tions, starts the New Year with a day
of wholesome pleasure, which is to
serve as a model for the 361 to follow.
The entire holiday is entirely In vari
ance with the Day of Atonompnt, or
Yom Klppur.whlch will begin the night
of Tuesday, October 2. This latter
event Is no less important In the Jew
ish religion than New Year, but is
marked by services throughout the en
tire day, and a strict fast from nour
ishment of any t-ort. It Is a period of
gloom and sorrow, greatly In contrast
with the happy, meirv day which was
yesterday celebrated.
Services began at 10 o'clock yester
day morning In the Linden street syna
gogue. The church presented a beau
tiful appearance, palms and potted
plants, banked gracefully in a mass in
fiont of the pulpit, producing a hand
some effect, Sol Foster, formerly of
this city and now a student at the
Hebrew Union college, a rabbinical
university at Cincinnati, was in charge
of the services, and created a splendid
impression upon all his auditors.
He chose as his theme yesterday
morning the extract from Genesis, tell
ing of the sacrifice of Abraham, on tho
occasion when the patriarch was about
to offer up to Heaven his own son
Isaac. Ho told of the struggle the
maker of tho covenant with the Lord
had with himself as he heard the warn
ing voice of his conscience, nnd lie
graphically described the marked ef
fects it produced on his after life,
Mr. Foster pointed out a similarity
between the clear, tinging notes of tho
voice of conscience and the vibrant
tones of the "shofar," or cornet, al
ways sounded in the house of worship
on New Year and the Day of Atone
ment. The "shofar" is intended to pro
duce tlie same results as .the wee sma"
voice, and by its warning peal to re
mind nil who hear it of their own er
rors, und the fact that It Is not too late
to mend.
The discourse was logical and
thoughtful. During the service, sacied
music was rendered by the choir, under
the leadeishlp of Professor C, II. Der
man. BICYCLIST BADLY INJURED.

SECRETARY'S REPORT.
Secretary-Treasurer McGulro then
presented his report. He opened this
by speaking briefly of the splendid
condition of tho association. He re
ferred to the local labor conditions,
and in speaking about the strike, said:
M"n and women waste their cars In irksome
til for meagre pay in factory, shop and mine,
while palaces rear their stately heads and the
blackening shadows of labor' hovels daiken the
hillsides and cast their placid gloom In the
alio.is and by-streets of our cities. Other states
Invo their full measure of wrong and injustice
to tlic working people, hut in nene is there more
refined Industrial lobbery, more artistic political
Jobbery than In the Ke.vstone state.
Still it w-as not alwa.vs so in tiiis state, nor
did economic oppression stalk abioad in the Ian
as it eloes oclay. There was a time In tins stale
when labor was xvell remunerat"d and highly
honored, when there was a spirit of political ir
ciepndence and a larger field of opportunity with
a horizon of advancement. Hcacls of families;
then did not feat for the future of their children.
Individual incentive was accelerated b) happy
homes, life was made gladsome by cheeiy hopes
with loftier thought's of still better conditions.
Then it was tliat trade organisation among the
miners was almost romplete They hid their
own representatives xcry largely in oRcial posi
tions in city, county und state. But in a dark
hour the rancor of religious ond national bigotry,
soldered their ranks. The once powerful or.
conization of miners melted awa) and corporation
rule and all its attendant evils assumed a direful
pover over them as it does in oth-r occupa
tions. More than a quarter of a renlury has seel,
anil today this struggle of the miners brings to
us n lcfon of forceful moment. Much as they
have done of late )oars by repeated movements,
fn.gnifi.tary and spasmodic, at last they have
oiganlred on a broad basis to try and regain
tliat which xvas lost to tliem for want of pres
eivatlon of their organization long ago.

Elc. GROWTH OF UNION.
Two j ears ago the union comprised 428 local
unions, and ,'.1,W! members. Toda) there are
,18 locahi and CS.tr.l members pa) Ins taxes tn
the general oihee. On July 1, 1)00, a balance
of $siO,2c'S.()'J was reported in the treasury. This
has, however, 1 een considcrabl) reelmed b.v do
nations made by the grand executive board to
assist local unions on strike, and In aiding van.
ous traeie movements.
Two .scars ago tlieie were but 10" cities woik.
Ing eight hours a day; now there are 1S e nil's
under the eight hour rule. In 211 cities strike
movements were conducted, and of these 101 were
successful, 17 were compromised, and but 6 de
feated. Of these 11J were for Hie e.ght hour
rule, S3 for tlic nine hour rule, and tlie bal
ance for enforcement of trade rules.
During the afternoon session the
question came up of tho place of the
next convention. Delegates from At
lanta, Ga., Washington, D, C. Louis
ville, Ky Columbus, O,, St. Louis, Mo.,
and Kansas City, Mo all eagerly
pressed the claims of their respective
cities for tho honor. Severnl eloquent
speeches were delivered by the enthu
siastic representatives of the contest
ing places and tho greater part of tho
afternoon was spent in the discussion
of their relative merits. W. J. Wil
liams, of Atlanta, gave a strong talk
in which he impressed upon the con
vention tlie beneficial results which
would arise from the next session being
conducted in Georgia. W. L. Glraril
oux, of Jacksonville, Fla., also spoke
for Atlanta, and C. A. Thompson, of
Columbus, nskecl that Ohio be the next
stato honored. Both these latter gen
tlemen are colored and are delegates
from two of the sixteen local negro
unions. All the southern speakers laid
great stress on the growth attained in
the south by the Carpenters' and Join
ers' union and declared that a conven
tion nt Atlanta would be a great bene
fit to labor interests.
ATLANTA WON.
A ballot was then taken and Wash
ington withdrew from the contest In
Atlanta's favor. The Georgia metropo
lis won out on tho first ballot, with a
vote of 74 out of 133 cast, Tho date
lor the convention lias not yet been
fixed.
The committee on amendments to tho
constitution repoitcd favorably on the
much discussed question of a change'
In the manner of electing delegates
and recommended that henceforth an
nual stato conventions be held and at
these a limited number of state repre
sentatives be chosen. The amendment
xvas lost by the overwhelming vote of
90 to 17, and the delegates to tho next
convention will therefore he elected as
heretofore.
