THE HISTORVOF
WEATHER BUREAU
Intel e3ting Talk by Willis Moore, of
Washington, D. C, in the Provi
dence Presbyterian Church.
Hon. Willis N. Moore, of Washing
ton, D. a. chief of the United State-!
Weather Vureau, spoke on "The His
tory tif the Weather Bureau" at the
meeting of the Scranton Men's society
held In tho Providence Presbyterian
social rooms last night.
Mr. Mooris Is a pleasing snenkor. and
had no difficulty in retaining the in
terest nnd attention of his latge audi
ence for the hour nnd a half that he
ppokc. Mr. Moore's knowledge of me
teorology and the conditions governing
the subject Is ptactleally inexhaust
ible, and this, coupled with his excel
lent delivery, made hi discourse one
of the best uddrcssos heard in Scran-
ton for some time. Up wus introduced
by Dolph B. Atheiton.
Ho dwelt for some time up")i the
phenomenon of the nlr. Ilia descrip
tion of the pluttlng of observations
nnd tho subsequent location of the
storm centres nnd cold waves was
highly Interesting.
During the Spanish-American war
Secretary Wilson recommended to
congiess that the Weather bureau ser
vice be extended to the West Indios
ho that Amotlcan ileots in th West
Indian sins might bo warned of ap
proaching hutricaues.
The wisdom of thld precaution, lie
bald, wus exemplified at tho time of
tho Galveston storm. It was duo to
the extension of the service that tho
Weather bureau was In po&Itlou to
warn the great commerce of the Oulf
of Mexico of the threatening calamity.
As a result not a vessel was destroyed,
nor a life lost on the open w.uers
of the gulf.
Even the people of wilveston were
warned of the danger on September 1,
eight days before the advent of tho
storm.
At the conclusion of his addiess a
henity vote of thanks was extended to
Mr. Mooie. The male quartette of the
church, consisting of C. V.. Whltto
more, Joihua John, Howard Griffin
and Thomas Morgan, sang tho follow
ing selections: "Just n Sons at Twi
light" nnd "Open up the Gates of
aiory."
The reception committee pervert
dainty refreshments following Mr.
Mooie's address.

cuted for Alleged Perjury Select
Councilmen Thomas O'Boyle and J.
J. McAndrew nnd Common Coun
cilman E. J. Coleman the Hen for
Whom Warrants Were Issued Yes
terday. True to the announcement of Presi
dent E. B. Sturgos, of tho Municipal
League, that tho piosecutlons lor
bribery In connection with municipal
legislation would bo resumed after the
holidays, wan ants were yesterday is
sued for the nirest of Select Council
man Thomas O'Boyle, of tho nigh
tecnth ward; Select Councllmnn John
J. McAndrews, of tho Twenty-first
ward, and Common Councllmnn Ed
ward J. Coleman, of tho Sixteenth
ward.
Messis. McAndtenn nnd Coleman
were arrested, but Mr. O'Boyle could
not bo found. Agent Robert "Wilson
went to Mr. O'Boylo's house nnd
learned that he was not at home.
When he nsked tho young woman who
cams to the door to toll him whore
Mr. O'Boyle worked, he reoelved the
answer that "Mr. O'Boyle doesn't
work; you know hes n councilman."
It was later stated that ho would be
homo Saturday night.
When Messrs. McAndrews and Cole
man presented themselves at Alder
man Fuller's office at i o'clock, thr
time set for tho hearing, they wer
not given Individual hearings, but
t-lmply made co-defendants with
Messrs. Melvln nnd James, whose
cases have been ponding tor .somo
time, nnd tho hearing of nil four rases
wns proceeded wltlt-at once.
The witnesses cxnminod were City
Clerk Martin T Livolle, Select Coun
cilman Flnlay Ross, of the Firtt ward;
ox-Select Councilman Simon Thomas,
cc-Common Councilman Morris V.
Moirls, Select Councllmur. John J. Mc
Andrews, ex-Select Councilman Rich
ard H. Williams, and ex-Select Coun
cilman P. F. McCnnn. General Man
ager Richard O'Prlen, of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, was
subpoptianl, but did not appear on
account of illness.
MATTERS TOUCHED UPON.
The councilmen nnd ox-touncilmen
were exnmined geneially on their par
ticipation in the passage of tho Lack
awanna telephone oidlnance; the as
phalt pav.lng otdlnnnco, and tho cloe
tile light ordinance, nnd each was
asked spoelticallv whothnr or not lie
had received or been piomlsed any
money or other valuable thing, or
knew of anyone receiving or offeilng
any money or valuable thing to in
fluence legislation of. any kind dur
ing his term of servlcf In councils.
Every one of them answered In tho
negative, and. ts n consequence, such
of them as escaped piosecution under
the compromise agreement with the
league are to be re-artestod on the
charges which they eluded, rnd in ad
dition thereto they will bo called upon
to meet the charge of perjury.
During Mr. Williams' examination,
ho was asked why he had resigned,
and made answer that It wns because
he did not have tlmo to meet thr
prosecutions. Mr. Sturgos broke in
w lth, "Well, Mr. Williams, let mo say
to you that you will be pushed for
time ngaln. You will be re-arrested
tomorrow. You have not lived up to
your agreement."
Aocordlng to the statement of Mr.
Sturgos, made after tho hearings.
Messrs. Williams and McCnnn, par
ticularly, and all the councilmen who
enjoyed tho league's leniency, ngreed
to tell tho whole truth concerning City
Hall nffalrs If they wero called os
witnesses in any future prosecutions.
Those of yesterday's witnesses who
have violated their ngt cement, Mr.
Hturges says, will tlnd themselves
worse off than thoy wore before tlw
agreement was made. "They have had
their last chance," said Mr. Sturges,
nnd he sroko - ttlt a detoi mined nlr.
Why Mr. Coleman w.is not called
does not develop. He was present
throughout tho hearing.
The prosecution was represented by
E. C. New comb, James II, Torrey and
Mr. Sturges. Joseph O'Brien nnd
Hon. M. E. McDonald nppeaiod for

E. 6. Courses?
From Select Councilman Ross it wai I was sollotlcd by Mr. Maloney nnd by
endeavored to ndduco that tho ban- his superintendent, W.H.Storrs, to vote
quel at tho St. Cloud after the select for tho hostlto amendment. He bo
councll meeting, Immediately preced- .came n supporter of tho now com
ing tho meeting nt which tho Lacka- Ipany out of consideration to his con
wnnna telephono ordinance was nmend-J rtltucnts, who, nt the election which
ed to death, was for the purposo of Intervened, threatened to lun a third
forming a company to assure tho old
telephone company of anything It
wnntcd nnd to receive In return $7G a
month for each member of tho com
bine, ns long as ho was ai member of
councils. Mr. Ross, however, could not
say that such wns the purposo of the
gathering.
Some five, six or seven months njro,
Mr. Ross went on to testify In answer
to questions by Mr. Torrey, he heard
talk around city hall that there was a
combine to control legislation and that
it would bo greatly to the advantage
of a councilman to belong to It.
Someone, ho believed It was Simon
Thomns, asked him on the night above
nlluded to, to go down to the St. Cloud
nfter the meeting, as the boys wore
going to have a spread.
On the way down town ho caught up
to Mr. Roche and they talked about
tho spread. Mr. Rooho said he had
heard about It, and that It was also
rumored that the spread mc.int "some
thing good for tho boys;" that he
understood there was $73 a month In
It. Mr. Roche said he wouldn't even
go to the spread, and left Mr. Ross to
go to his business place.
Mr. Ross went down to the St. Cloud,
looked In for n minute, concluded that
he had better not stay, and went on
home. He saw somo councilmen In the
barroom, nnd saw tables sot In tho
dining room Just to the rear of tho
barroom. He did not remember hav
ing seen Simon Thomas there, nnd
could not recall any one whom he did
set there.
SOMETHING MIGHT OCCUR.
When questioned paitloulaily as to
why ho concluded not to stay for tho
spread, Mr. Ross was at los for nn
answer, but finally admitted that he
had anticipated that there was some
thing going to occur which ho didn't
want to know anything about.
"Haven't vou told me within an
hour," naked Mr. Sturgos, "Hint n
councllmnn told you It would be worth
$7") n month to you if you, Joined the
combination?"
"Well, that's about what Mr. Roche
fcald to me," replied Mr. Ross.
On cross-examination byMr.O'Brlen,
the witness stated that Mr. Roche did
not ask him, or even suggest to htin,
to go to tho "spread," and that all that
Mr. Roche said was that he heard they
were going to have some kind of a
meeting at the St. Cloud and that he
had hoard there was $73 n month In it
foi tho boys.
Shnon Thomas was the second wit
ness. Ho said he voted for the tele
phone ordinance light along. He voted
for It In May, 1S93. when It had at
tached to It the amendment that made
It useless, and also In February Inst,
when the acceptable ordinance passed
ilnnlly.
He would not admit that ho knew
the amendment of May, 1S9S, wns hos
tile to the oidlnance, though ho was
approached by Superintendent Ma
loney, of the old company, with a ic
qutst that ho vote in Its favor. He did
not know the new company opposed
tho amendment. Tlu- leason he voted
for the final passage of the acceptable
ordlnaneo was because he was solicited
to do so by his personal ft lends. David
Evans nnd William Penn Morgan. He
was also prompted In favoring It by
leaton of his belief that competition
In the telephone business should be en
couraged. Theie was no Intimation made to
him, the witness said, of any pecunlaiy
advantage that might be derived from
voting for or against the ordinance,
and lie never heard of any money be
ing used by the old telephone company
to have tho now' telephone compan's
ordinance amended. He had heaid talk
of such a thing, but knew nothing of
It, personally. He denied emphatlenlly
that he had ever lecelved any moniv
for nnythlng he ever did In councils.
WAS AT ST. CLOUD
He admitted he W03 at the St. Cloud
meeting a week or two berore tho pass
age of tho nceeptable telephone oidl
nance, but could not lemembei' any
one who was theio except Mr. Coyne.
"That wns before you got jour
money, wnsn't It?" queried Mr. New
comb, in matter-of-fact tones
"What money?" asked Mr. Thomav
"Didn't you tell a lawyer only a fow
days ago, when you weie complaining
bitterly of Tom Btooks' testimony,
that Tom Brooks gave you money, and
didn't you point to your left hand and
say, 'That's tho hand Tom Brooks put
tho money in' Is that correct?"
"I never mentioned such a name In
any such a conveisatlon," Mr. Thomas
indignantly teplled.
He admitted that he talked with Mr.
Btooks on tho street about the oidl
nance, and that Mr. Brooks solicited
him to oto for It. Chailes Robinson
also asked him to oto for it, he said,
but no ono ever offered him any money
for his vote. He also denied specific
ally that Mr. McCnnn had given him
money, or that lie know anything of
any stoiy about councilmen receiving
?73 a month for the control of their
votes.
He admitted that he deposited $1,000
In tho West Side bank Inst Apt II, but
explained that this was tho pioceeds
of the salo of his hotel business.
THEIR LAST CHANCE.
Morris V. Moiils, tho next witness,
denied emphatically that ho had ever
loreivcd or been ofieied any money
for his voto in favor of or against
tho new telephone ordinance. Ho fur
ther swore ho never iccelved nnv
thlng fiom anybody for any action
or omission In connection with legis
lation dining his whole term of of
fice. "Ask htm once ngaln," Mr. Stur
ges whispered to Mr. Torrey.
Tho question was repeated, and the
emphatic denial was again made.
Mr. Thomas was recalled, nnd a sim
ilar question was put to him. Ho like
wise answered In the negative. Mr.
Stutges then told him ho had had his
last chance.
Mr. McAndrew h was next called and
questioned, with a. view of having him
ndmlt that 3100 which Morgan Swee
ney drew from tho utrert repairs ac
count of tho Twenty-first ward appro
priation wns a, repayment to General
Manuger SIHIman for $100 which wa.i
advanced to help elect Mr. McAn
diews' colleague, Mr. Norton.
Mr. McAndrews appeared to be
nmuscd nt tho questions, but calmly
told that he did not know what Mor
gan Sweeney did with tho $100, and
wns totally Ignorant of any $100 hav
ing been advanced to him or nnyono
else to help along Mr. Norton's elec
tion. Mr. Sweeney drew tho $100, ho
said, for work ho did with his teaniH
on tho streets of the Twenty-first
ward.
Mr. McAndiews admitted that he
voted for tha hostile amendment and
Tvter for tho acceptable ordinance, He
man nnd defeat him, If ho would not
declaro for the now company and
competition.
DID NOT ANSWER.
When Mr. Newcomb commenced to
ask him how he rould take tho oath
of offlco after having permitted him
self to be swerved from his former
course by promlocs of support nt elec
tion time, Mr. O'Brien Interposed nnd
had the aldeiman inform tho witness
that he need not nnsner any ques
tion that would tend to Incriminate
himself. Tho witness dla not answer
the question.
Mr, McAndrew, like tho others, de
nied over having received any money
for his voto or lnfluonco In councils.
Richard II. Williams testified that
ho was ngalnst the new company all
along, but voted for tho ncceptnblo
franchlso ordinance on Its final pass
age, February 10, 1900. Ho had talked
with a Mr. Maloney. Ho didn't know
his full name. It was tho ono that wan
known ns "The Ghost," ho said. He
had heard rumors of money having
been used In tho passage of tho ordi
nance, but, personally, knew nothing
of It.
Tho day nfter the passage of the
ordinance, February 11, IDOO, ho de
posited $l,S0O In tho First National
bank,, ho admitted. In explanation of
this, ho stated that he had been saving
up for flvo years to go to the old coun
try nnd had kept these savings In the
house, that they might foe separate
fiom his regular account lnj the First
National. Three different nttempts
were made to break into his house, nnd
ho decided that tho knowledge of his
keeping money in tho house had leaked
out, nnd that it would be best to put It
In tho bank.
When asked If ho had ever ireotved
or been offered nnv money or other
valuable thing for his vote or Influence
in connection with any matter before
councils, Mr. Wllllnms nnswcied posi
tively In the negative.
WHY HE RESIGNED.
"You resigned from councils, did ou
not?" queried Mr. Torrey.
"I did."
"Why?"
"Bccauo I had no time to glvet up
to meet the tiials, and boenuse my
friends advised tnu that In addition
to giving my tlmo fieo to tho city I
would have to be giving up more time
to defend myself for bnln a coun
cllmnn, I had better give up being n.
councilman."
"Vou will bo nnestod ngaiti tomor
row," broke In Mr. Stutges. ' Vou will
have to find time to meet more trlnls."
P. F. McCnnn was tho last witness,
lie was asked the usual question as
to whether or not ho had received
money, and when he nnswered in the
negative, Mr. Torrey nsked him to ex
plain whv he hud resigned. Ho re
plied thnt he thought It best, and
was adviBcd by friend? to do so, ho
cnusf It was foolish to stay In coun
tlls nnd bo .subjected to piosecution.
W. F. Hallstead, he said, wan ono
of the friends who advised luin to
take this course.
At this Juncture tho hearing wa3
postponed until 15 o'elocr this after
noon, when Richard O Brieu is to bo
examined.
