A VERY LONG ONE
To Date Heads of Departments Have
Expended $5,158.71 Moie Than
the Appropriations for Year.
An examination of Controller How
oil's ledgers yesterday by a Tribune i
man revealed the fact that deficiencies
amounting to $ri,l."S.7l have been cre
ated by the heads of various depart
ments s-n far this year. I
This Is an especially largo amount, j
Inasmuch as the llseal year is only a.
little more than halt expired. The do-
flciencles aie divided among the several
departments, as follows: Fire depart
ment, $u,&!2.01: city clerk's department,
SS-1.19; city treasurer's department.
J1H(!."1; street commissioner's tlepart
i ment, SS.-I.S.1; boaid of health, $36.23;
I parks department, $5.21; total, $r;,15S.71.
I This, of course, does not Include any
. deficiency bills which may be on file In
. tho offices of the various heads of do-
partments and which they may have.
I neglected, purposely or otherwise, to
, send to the auditing committee for ap- ,
pi oval. ,
' The controller, in discussing the mat
ter yesterday, said thai, although he
' ivn nnnnrr1 tn Itir. CM-nnflnn rf dnflr.-
iencies, he could not see where any oC
the present deficiency bills had been
needlessly contracted. Especially was
this true of the fire department, ho
said, where the chief had been obliged i
to contract these obligations, possessed l
as ho was with the knowledge that in
contracting them he was cieatlng de
ficiencies. "It would seem to me," said he, "that
councils -should by resolution, if not by
oidlnance, direct such purchases wher
over they are absolutolyliucossnry, in
order to relievo tho department heads
from any Individual responsibility." i
The amount of deficiencies created so
k
rar tins year almost canals, the entire i
amount created last year.

CILMEN ARE CHARGED.

sued nt Instance of the Municipal
League and the Accused Officials
Were Allowed to Oo on Their Own
Recognizance Until Tins Afternoon
When a Hearing Will Be Held.
The Municipal League is again af
ter the councllmon of this city and
that thoy nro particularly after the
members of tho select branch was evi
denced yesterday afternoon when four
select councilman were arrested on,
the charge of soliciting and nccoptlir-j
bribes. The councllmon arrested nro
as follows: i:dward .Tames, of tho
Sixth ward; Hlchard Williams, of tins
Fifth ward; l'oter McCann, of tho
Fourteenth ward, and Simon Thomas,
of the Fourth ward.
Tho warrants were Issued in tho af
ternoon by Alderman Fuller, of tho
Sixteenth ward, at the instance of 13,
n. Sturgo.-! nnd Robert Wilson, of the
Municipal League, and were served by
Mr. Wilson. Councilman James wa:t
arrcFted at Ills plnce ot business on
South Main avenue, while Councilman
Williams was arrested at his home,
on Academy street. Councilman Mc
Cann was found at the Lackawanna,
station. Councilman Thomas was
taken Into custody In the city hall.
All were brought before Alderman
Fuller, who allowed them to go on
their own- lecognlzanco until this af
ternoon nt 2 o'clock, when a hearing
N to be held.
XO DETAILS GIVFX.
Mr. Sturgos, when seen last night
ly a Tribune man, refused to give any
information regarding the specific
charges for which the councilman
Mere arrested. "It will all come out
in the hearing tomorrow afternoon,"
.'aid he, "and until then we must re
fuse to give any information to the
miblie."
The anests came very much in the
nature of a surprise, on account of tho
largo number of indicted councilman,
already under bail sine? last spring,
uui AMin.se in.-us, on account ot tno
press of business in court, have been
piu over until next term.
Councilman McCann Mas arrested in
August last on the charge of biibery
and was held in 53.000 bnil by Alder
man Fuller. In their return made last
Wednesday, the grand jury ignored th"
bill against him. From a remark made
last night by Special Agent Wilson, it
would appear that tho league has Its
doubts about this last grand jury.
While conversing ivlth a Tribune
man, Mr. Wilson remarked, that "this
grand jury was not watched by de
tectives as have been others." He said
mis in explanation or tlio fact war-
mnts have been secured for the arrest
of the speakeasy keepers tho cases
agaiutt whom were ignored by tho
grand jury
It is generally understood that the
I alleged offenses fur which these four
I councilmcn were arrested were coin-
mltted last spring.
j AUOUT TO RESIGN.
I Councilman James was just about to
i resign from .council, on account of tlio
fact that be was elected on November

there were Just exactly eleven mem
bers present. Mr. Oliver, who hereto
fore had been In favor ut the ordin
ance, voted "no" nnd this prevented
the measure from receiving tho neces
sary eleven votes. In voting "no" Mr,
Oliver explained that ho did so be
cause he had been "led Into a trap."
Tho trap he referred to was tho fuel
that Mayor Molt had Just vetoed the
resolution directing- that $.120 bo ex
pended In making repairs nt tho Co
lumbia Hose company's quarters. Now,
this ordinance contained an Item for
that spoclllc Improvement nnd Mr.
Oliver's point uob that Chief Blzel
mann should not have urged hint to
secure the passage of thli ordinance
nnd thou have urged tho mayor to vet,o
the resolution.
The point which Mr. Oliver over
looked was that no appropriation ex
isted until the ordinance making tho
transfer was passed. Tn other words,
tho resolution which Mayor Molr ve
toed should not have been Introduced
until after tho passage of tho ordin
ance. It 1h extremely probable tlmt
action will be reconsidered nt the next
meeting.
"A LONG CHASE
AND A HARD CHASE"
Andrew McGueirln Rifled Radlu's
Window and Gave a Good Run to
His Captors Now In Jail.
Andrew McCluonin, of Market street,
a young man about twenty years of
age, was last night arrested by Patrol

Center street police station, on tho
charge of breaking a window in S.
Radlu's pawn shop, at 12;i Pehn ave

McGuerrln was a particularly bold
marauder, as It was only 10.30 o'clock
when ho kicked in the big glass front
and grabbed the three pistols. The
crash of tho falling glass was heard
by Special Olllcer Tlorney and Mr.
Simpson, who wore nearby, and they
started for the offender. He saw them
coining and straightway took to his
' heels. Ho was fleet of foot, and terror
gave him even more speed as he
dashed to Lackawanna avenue and
. then started on his course towards tho
West Lackawanna avenue bridge.
i Tlorney Isn't built exactly for sprint
ing purposes, and he soon fell behind In
the race, but Simpson gained steadily,
and when the 100 block of he avenue
i was puachod managed to trip up the
I rUffitive. He fell to the pavement.

DOWIE'S HELP WAS

He Wants to Stmt a Lace Mill That
Will Be a Rival of Seranton
and Other Concerns.
Thu iiieinbei-h ot tlio National Lace
Workers' association who are em
ployed by the Seranton Lace Curtalit
.company arc very much Interested in
a. case which has been pending before
a board of examiners appointed by
Immigration Commissioner Hodgers,
of Philadelphia for tho past few days.
II nppnnis that the celebrated Dowle,
the head of the 5Clnu church of Chi
cago, some time ngo conceived the
idea of establishing an industrial
town in Waukegan, Illinois, where he
proposed to establish a great lace fac
tory. He conferred with Secretary
Cage and CcnunlsMoncr General of
Immigration Powdcrly regarding tho
importation of several skilled opera
tives lrom England to instruct the
other hands whom ho proposed to en
BSPe. lie was told that hn could Import
such operatives if he could provo that
the industiy to be established was a
nw one, there being a clause in tho
contract labor law which permits tho
importation of operatives lor the pur
pose of establishing new Industrie.?.
Uowio went to Kngland and engaged
ilia operatives, five in number.
They ai rived in Philadelphia on
Tuesday on board the American liner
AVaesland, but their landing was vig
orously protested against by the ex
ecutive committee of the Laccmaker's
union, which contended that the in
dustiy they were to establish was not
a new one and that If thoy wore al
lowed to land that competition would
ensue. which would seriously affect the
inteicsts of the lacow orkers through
out the country.
The committee contended that thu
lacvo which Dowie Intend!, to manufac
ture is precisely the taine as the lace
now being manufactured by the Seran
ton company and by a number another
II rni s in various parts of the United
States, A board of examiners appoint
ed by Commissioner Itodgors decided
against the Imported workmen, and tho
latter oillclnl on Wednesday oideied
that they bo deported.
On Thursday, however, Attorney
Williams, who icpiesents the Interest:)
of the emigrants, appeared boforo
Commissioner P.odgers and offered to
piovo that the Supremo court hns de
cided that the contract labor law ap
plies only to manual laborers and not
to skilled laborers; that tho manufac
ture of tho kind of lace which it Is pro
posed to make Is u new Industry and
tlmt no evidence exists that tho emi
grants came to this country under any
contract.
Commissioner ltodgers accordingly
consented to a. reopening of the case,
and another hearlntr was held yester

A BONANZA
MANY GULLIBLE PERSONS IN
THE CITY.
Kent Loid, Erstwhile Tragedian and
Physician, Finds This City a Verit
able Golconda for the Practice of
Palmistty and Clairvoyance His
Apartments Avo Dally Thronged
by People Who Could Plnd a Bet
ter Use for Their Money Than
Buying His Alleged Information.
The mystic art of clalrvoyuucy Is
again represented by tin exponent In
Seranton, and every day the apart
ments of Kent Lord, palmist and fortune-teller,
tit 313 Mulberry street, are
thronged with persons, who, after de
positing sums varying all the way
from fifty cents and one dollar up to
ton dollars, depart with tho promise of
a future In which tho height of suc
cess, beautiful, fair women nnd mys
terious dark men are mixed,
Tho palmist himself Is a really re
markable man; that is, If one Is willing
to believe all that ho says.
A native of 'the Emerald Isle, he Is a.
graduate of the Trinity College ot
Jlcdlclue al Dublin. Kesldes being a
practitioner, he was once in "the legiti
mate" nnd played heavy roles In tlio
support of Fdwln Booth, Dion Bouci
cault, and other great actors. His elulr
voynncy Is an acquired art, but it
would be unjust to Dr. Lord's histri
onic powers to say that while In hli
sean'COH he docs not prove himself a
very apt pupil of ids famous maslors.
A Tribune man was among the guests
of the palmlf-t yesterday.
Although ushered Into the apart
ments at an early hour, he found him
self preceded by three women and a
man. Tho male part of this assembly
was a rather seedy-looking individual,
who could put his money to better use
than peering into the future. The wo
men were ordinarily dressed and Ihcy,
loo, did not seem to be enjoying any
excess ot funds. The number Of visit
ors swelled every moment, and inside
of about three-quaiters of an hour
there were fourteen persons in tho
room. Several of these were young
gills, apparently domestics in private
homos.
AVAR RATHER DUBIOUS.
One woman, as she emerged from her
Interview, had a rather dubious,
puzzled look upon her face, and when
asked by a filend whether the seance
was satisfactory, gave an alllrmativo
reply.
"And did lie tell ymt your name?"
was asked eagerly.
"Oh, no," replied the woman, who
was well on in years, and had a face
streaked with lines of care and a fore
head lined by deep furrows. "Oh, no,
lie didn't tell me my name, but he said
I'd had lots of trouble, an' the Lord
knows that's true."
The -woman seemed much surprised
that the clairvoyant had stiuck the
nail so beautifully.
Others who came out wore not so
satisfied and angiily declared Lord to
be an impostor. At last it was The
Tribune man's turn. He entered the
private room, took a seat, and Dr.
Lord, who is a stout, complacent-looking
man with Svengali-llke eyes,
handed the sciibe a card, and directed
him to write upon this two questions
he desired answered, and incidentally
sign his nnmo and aflix tho exact date
on which he was born. While this was
being done, the palmist walked stealth
ily about tho room, and it is Just pos
sible thai he may havo cast a light
