MEN OF THE HOUR
Only two of the many men who C3rrv
o thu Lackawanna road with Presl
lnt Truesdale to take charge of nn
mix)rtnnt department in the Scranton
ofllceg now remain. They aro J. M.
Duly, superintendent of transportation,
find L. T. Canlleld, master ear builder.
It Is stated on well-founded authority
that Mr. Canfleld will, lwfore long, en
Joy the distinction, singly and alone,
hs Mr. Daly has about determined to
accept a position with the Southern
Pacific.
Scranton will regret to lose Mr. Daly,
ns lie has come to bo regarded as one
of the kind of men it. bustling young
city can not have too many of, and It
was expected that when, In the near
futuro, ho would come to bo more
prominently Identified with Ita activ
ities, ho would prove himself as valu
able to his adopted city as ho is to
the company with which ho is now
allied. Duiing his brief residence In Scran
ton, Mr. Daly has made many warm
friends and admirers, nnd these will
especially regret his departure.
w
It Is a remarkable thing that so tow
lawyers are elected as members of the
municipal councils in the cities of this
country. The gentlemen of the legal
profession are greatly In the majority
in congress nnd in the legislatures of
the several states, but are very seldom
found occupying seats in the legisla
tive bodies of a municipality. Es
pecially Is this true in this city, where
the only lawyer In councils Is the new
ly elected common councilman from
the Second ward, II. S. Alworth.
Mr. Alworth met with great oppo
sition from unexpected sources at the
recent election, but he won out be
cause the peoplo believed in him, and
there Is no question but that he will
prove himself worthy of their trust.
He brings to councils not only an un
blemished reputation as a man ot
character and of honor, but the deter
mination to do everything in his power
to help win back for the legislative
bodies of this city the place In the
hearts of the citizens which they have
lost by reason of the recent revelations
miida by the Municipal league author
ities. Ho Is not a theorist or an Idealist.
Ho sayo himself that the reformer who
Is not practical In no reformer nnd
need not hopo for success. Ho has the
legal qualifications to enable him to
legislate wisely for the best interests
of the city, nnd his record us u mem
ber of council will undoubtedly be a
Vrllllant one.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Walter Jonos Selected for the Office
of President.
A meeting of the Central Labor union
was held yesterday In Carpenters' halt,
lAvlien the suinl-unimnl election of Ul
cers was conducted. The following ot
flccrs were elected: President, "Walter
Jones: vice-president, Stephen Price:
reeordliiB secretary, Nicholas Burke;
Beeretary-treasurer, George Qothlerj
sergeunt-at-arms, Thomas Shea; trus
tees, Thomas Davis. M. J. Burke nnd
John Martin; organizer, 'Martin D. Fla
herty, re-elected.
George Qotliler, delegate to the
American Federation of Labor conven
tion at Louisville, Ky., In December,
read his report, describing among oth
er things how hard Wilkes-Barre
worked to secure the convention by the
circulation of photographic views ot
the city and pamphlets.
A vote of thanks was tendered M. D.
Flaherty, the retiring president, for the
able and clllclcnt manner In which he
has conducted his olllce. Another vote
of thanks was tendered Oeorgo Clothier
for his services as delegate to the
American Federation of Labor con
vention. Credentials from several niln
eis' unions, clerks' unions, musicians
and steam engineers were received.
The theulrlcal committee reported
their grievances settled satisfactorily.
CARPENTERS' STRIKE
MAY BE ADJUSTED
It Is Thought That a Compiomiso
Will Be Effected Before the End
of the Present Week.
Oinllfylng progress has already been
made towards effecting n.n amicable
pettlemcnt of the carpenters strike,
which lias be-n on since June 1, 1900.
Aa told previously in Tho Tribune,
tho local officers of tho Carpenters'
union, acting with National Organizer
Fred Dllcher, of the United Mine
Workers, made preliminary arrange
ments for conferences with influential
members of the Builders' exchange.
looking to a compromise arrangement
that would result In the calling off of
the strike.
A. C. Cattermull, of Chicago, a
member of tho national executive
committee of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, who came on last
Thursday to further the negotiations,
has been Industriously at woik ever
since, nnd now the announcement Is
made that before the present week Is
over the chances are the strike will be
nt an end.
An Informal conference Is to be held
today or tomorrow, at which a formal
conference will likely be arranged be
tween duly accredited committees rep
resenting the builders and the strik
ers. Both sides evince a desire to ef
fect a settlement, and It Is thought
that when they get together and
thresh out the matters at Issue that
an amicable adjustment will be ar
rived nt.
No small amount of building opera
tions nre being held up by reason ot
the unwillingness of the prospective
builders to give the work to a non
union contractor and thereby Incur the
unfriendliness of the union men: or, on
the other hand, to give it to a union
contractor and offend the builders ex
change, In which nearly all the larger
and more Influential contractors tiro
members. This fact will have much to
do in encouraging concession's from
both sides.
FINED S7 AND COSTS.
One of the Broadway Club Members
Brought to Grief.
James Jones, a leader of the Broad
way Athletic club, was given a hear
ing before Alderman Millar, Saturday
nlgh't on the charges of assault and
battiy and disorderly conduct. The
cliarge of assault and battery was
withdrawn, but ho was fined 1 and
costs for disorderly conduct.
Jones is a member of a gang known
as the Broadway Athletic club. On
New Year's day tho members of the
"club" dragged an old man named
Samuel Selfer from his carriage and
beat him until another man, Steln
berger, interfered, when their blows
were directed upon him.
Five witnesses appeared against
Jones and testified to his brutal con
duct and also to his kicking a horse
in the stomach. Warrants have bien
issued for others of the gang, but thus
far they have succeeded in avoiding
arrest.
THE REASON WHY.
Some may want to know what mo
tive 1 have in publishing the cltyi di
rectory and giving the entire profits
to our charitable Institutions.
First My advertising business hns
taken, and kept, me away from home
too much.
Second By thus publishing the di
rector, y, I create employment for my
self and many others here at home.
Third I increase the available char
ity fund, or decrease the burden of
necessary charity calls now mado
upon our business men; further, I will
have assisted (more materially than 1
otherwise could) in making other souls
happier, the doing of which will give
to me my choice of joys.
The parties who will bo asked to dis
tribute tho proceeds are: One a bank
er, the two others ate loading men In
commerce and matters of charity; and
tho proceeds will go where they are
most needed, regardless of creed, ism
or color.
Now then, ofllcers and members of
charitable Institutions and business
men, it Is up to you.
Will you give this project your ns
ststnncn and support, and thus make
it a grand success, and show that it
can bo made a permanent annuallty'

SWEENEY HAD
POOR MEMORY
WAS STAR WITNESS AT COUN
CILMANIO HEARING.
Couldn't Remember Whether or Not
He Had Ever Given Any Money
to Councllmen Drew 8100 from
Twenty-first Ward Appropriation
and Paid It Over to P. W. Gal
lagher Because the Latter Said It
Was Hltt Number of Councllmen
Placed on Record.
Kx-Counollmen Richard ll.Wllllatns,
of the Fifth ward, und P. F. McCann,
of the Fourteenth ward, were ie
arrested on Saturday, at the Instance
of the Municipal league on the charge
of bribery and were thus made Joint
defendants with Councllmen Mclvln,
McAndrew, O'Boyle, Coleman and
James.
Wllllami and McCann, It will be re
membered, were not indicted nnd
when they entoted into the agreement
with the league their cases were still
pending In Aldermnn Fuller's court.
The agreement, which they entered
Into, is said by the league authorities,
to havo been different than tho agree
ment entered Into by the eleven Indict
ed councllmen. The league officials
say that McCann nnd Williams agreed
to tell all they knew about city hall
rottenness nnd that by their falling
to do so at Thursday's hearing they
violated the agreement nn.l were
therefore re-ariestod.
As soon as Mr. McCann heard there
was a warrant out for his arrest he
went Immediately to tho nldcrman'a
ofllce and offered ball, but the magis
trate refused to accept It saying that
he would not take ball until ho was
rattened, after h hearing, that the evi
dence wart anted his being held for
court.
SATURDAY'S IfL'AniNG.
The henrlng In tho cases was re
sumed on Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock und the star witness was x
Counrllman Morgan Sweeney, now em
ployed by the Snanton Railway com
pany. He said he was employed by
the company to look after Its Interests
generally and admitted finally that
part of his duty was to look after
city hall affairs and .ee that legisla
tion unfavorable to the company was
staved off.
Ho couldn't remember, he said,
whether he had paid any money to
councllmen on behalf of the Scranton
Railway company or whether the com
pany had ever given him money to
give to councllmen. He wouldn't
Hvoar. however, that he had never
distributed any money nmong the city
fathers.
He was asked about a letter which
was said to have bean snt him by
Select Councilman Melvin while lie
was In Atlantic City, -telling him to
come home and attend to business a
tho Speedway Street railway ordin
ance was pending In councils. Swee
ney said he destroyed this letter. No
money was mentioned, he thought,
the letter being merely of a friendly
natuie.
He was then examined at length re
garding a wariant for $100 on the
Twenty-first ward appropriation which
he received from the city oh May 4.
1809. From the questions nslced by
Mr, Torrey, who examined Sweeney, It
could be Inferred that the prosecution
was endeavoring to prove that P. W.
Gallagher, who was Sweeney's prede
cessor in the employ of the company,
had given Common Councilman Nor
ton, of the Twenty-first ward, 5100 to
defray the expenses of his election,
and that he recovered this by having
Sweeney get a bill for 5100 signed by
both tho councllmen of the ward and
having a warrant for that amount
drawn and cashed.
DREW THE MONKY
Sweeney admitted drawing $100 on a
city warrant on the date mentioned,
but claimed that it was foil work ac
tually done by him on the street ot
the Twenty-first ward. He nlsi ad
mitted giving tho $100 to Gallagher.
He offered no explanation as to why
he gave the money to Gallagher, ex
cept "that he (Gallagher) said the
money was his and I gave It to him."
Repeated questions failed to elicit any
other answer than "Ho said tho money
was his and I took his word for it."
Following Morgan came Carl Mc
Klnney, who la already under Indict
ment on the charge ot bribery. Ho
said that he was connected with the
Barber Asphalt company at the time
the repair contract was pending In
councils and that his duty was to se
cure sufficient votes to guarantee Its
passage. Ho said he never gave any
money or other valuable consideration
to any councilman for his vote and re
peated this assertion a secotid time.
Ho said that as a favor to W. W.
Scranton he also assisted In securing
the passage of the ordinance award
ing tho ten-year electric light con
tract, but that ho had given no coun
cilman any money in connection with
it. He had no actual knowledge of
any cabal of twelve or fourteen coun
cllmen banded together to "milk" any
body who wanted to get any measure
through councils.
The witnesses sworn after Mr. Mc
Klnney were ex-Select Councilman T.
J. Coyne, ex-Common Councilman M.
V. Morris nnd Select Councilman T. C.
Melvin. It was apparent that tho
league was desirous of nutting these
men on record as snylng that no crook-

MEETING AT ST. CLOUD.
Mr. Coyne was questioned regarding
the celebrated meeting nt the St. Cloud
hotel on Feb. 10. Ho said he was there
for about fifteen minutes, but denied
nny knowledge of a combination of se
lect councllmen. Ho stated most em
phatically that ho had never received
any money for his vote. Detective
Harris, he said, had offered him some,
but ho did not tako It.
Ho admitted that on one occasion he
borrowed $200 from General Manager
Sllllman, of the Scranton Railway com
pany, but he said that this had been
paid back and that he had vouchers to
prove it.
Hx-Councllman M. V. Morris said lie
knew T. R. Brooks, but had never re
ceived any money from him for his
vote on tho telephono ordinance. He
did business with the First National
bank, but denied ever having mado a
deposit of $1,000 In that Institution nt
one time. He said he had paid to
Charles Robinson two payments of $7b0
and $l,ir3 on his property, nnd had
the receipts for the two amounts. Ho
knew of no councllmanlc combination.
Select Councilman T. C. Melvin knew
nothing about any combination of
councllmen, either, he said. He said
ho had seen E. J. Moloney, of the Cen
tral Pennsylvania Telephone company,
talking to councllmen In his (Melvln's)
hotel. He had also seen councllmen
there talking to P. W. Gallagher and
Morgan Sweeney.
MELVIN WROTE TO SWEENEY.
Ho remembered something about hav
ing written to Sweeney when the lat
ter was In Atlantic City, but not much.
If such a letter was written, ho said,
It was of a social nature. He had nev
er received nny presents ftom the
Scranton Hallway company. He re
duced u note of $2C0 In February
Inst, he said, but denied having re
duced his notes $1,000.
After Mr. 'Melvln's testimony the
hearing was adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock. It Is generally
understood that on that occasion the
league will ptoduce testimony about
the pay-rolU of the Central Pennsyl
vania Telephone company, showing the
names of a number of councllmen with
certain amounts after each.

SCHEDULE IS
NOT ACCEPTED
BARN MEN NOT SATISFIED
WITH COMPANY'S OFFER.
Alternative Schedule Will Be Pre
pared nnd Submitted to General
Manager Sllllman Believe They
Should Have Same Wages ab the
Car Men nnd Mnintnin Thnt They
Will Not Accept Anything Less.
Long and Spirited Meeting of the
Street Car Men's Union.
Dissatisfaction Is still existing be
tween the Scranton Railway company
and Its employes. Ie results mainly
from their inability' to agree on the
compensation ot the barn hands, but
there nre other differences quite as
serious, and the chances nre that It
will bo some time before thero U ti
return of the amity which existed be
fore thu strike.
When the strike wns declared off, tho
matter of the compensation of em
ployes of the barn was left for futuro
adjudication. Last week u revised
schedule of wages granting an In
crease In every department was pre
pared by Master Mechanic Thomas J.
Mullln nnd submitted by General Mali
nger Frank Sllllman, Jr., to the union.
It was passed upon at a meeting held
yesterday morning at Carpenters' hall,
Wyoming avenue, at which all tha
employes were present nnd, after a
discussion which lasted from 4 o'clock
till after G, It was decided to reject the
offer nnd present an alternative sched
ule for tho company's approval.
NINETY OF THEM.

and the majority of them aro In the

WHERE THE TROUBLE RESTS.
The offer would bo acceptable the
men say, but for the wages which It
proposes to pay beginners In the me
chanical and electrical department.
Twelve and one-half cents an hour,
they say, is not enough. They believe
they should be placed on the same
footing ns the car men who are stnrt
ed In at 14 cents nn hour and then
raised year by year till they receive
the mnxlmum of 19 cents.
At present thero Is no formnl sched
ule of wages fof tho barn men. Roys
s-lnrfc In at C cents an hour and are
granted Increases according to the pro
gress they make, the master mechanic
being the judge of their worth. The
maximum rate paid In the highest paid
department Is 1714 cents. The original
demand of tho car men was for 17U
cants an hour after tho first year and
t!0 cents an hour for the third year
nnd every year thereafter.
The company officials express keen
disappointment at the refusal of the
barn men to accept the proffered
schedule. They believed It to be fair
ond liberal and thnt It would be ac
cepted without hesitation. The men
say it Is fair enough except In the
Item regulating the wages of begin
ners In the mechanical and engineering
department, and they maintain they
will not be content with anything less
than what the car men aro leceivlng,
14, If., lfi, I'M, IS and 19 cents, for first
six months, second six months, second
year, third year, fourth year r.nd fifth
year.
The executive committee of tho
union will present tho alternative
shedulo to General Manager Sllllman
early this week, nnd another meeting
will be culled for next Sunday morning
to receive his answer.
NOTHING DEFINITE DONE.
The matter of protesting against be
ing compelled to work with the two
car men who continued to work after
the stilko was declared was the sub
ject of a warm debate, but nothing
definite came of It. One of them who
