THE SCRANTON miBUNE-WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1901.

ARI AFTER THE
FEE THIEVES
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PROSECUTE ALDERMEN.
TO
Tor Some Tims Fast, Dotectlve T. E.
Reynolds Has Been Quietly Hunt
ing Information on Which to Base
Indictments for Illegal Collection
of Fees, and Now, It Is Claimed,
He Has Sufficient to Secure the
Conviction of Four Aldermen and
Three Justices of the Peace.
Other Court Matters.
The county commissioners are tak
ing a turn ns crusaders against olTlclal
ttnrtchtcousnpss. The Justices of the
peace, aldermen and constables ore
tho objects or their activities. They
(propose to break up the practice of
multiplying' transcripts and manufac
turing cases, and as u means to that
end they will present n, number of ul
leged offenders to tho grand Jury.
Ono df the biggest drains tho county
treasury Is subjected to Is the fee bills
of magistrates and constables. Thou
sands upon thousands of dollars are
oach year paid out for the services, or
alleged services, of those minions of
tho law.
If they would be content with what
they are Justly entitled to, no objec
tion could be raised, oven though their
bills would Hcem unwarranted, for It
Is only natural to suppose that a
human being Is going to take all that
Is coming to him.
But these oincluls, or some of them
ut least, so It Is alleged, are not con
lent with what they are legally en
titled to. Where they could Include
several defendants In one case, as is
light and proper under the law, they
make out of the transaction as many
cases as there are defendants mid
thereby multiply their fees by tho
number of times they multiply the
cases.
WAY IT IS PONK.
Then again they take tin ordinary
assault and battery case and with the
ii Id of a little outside work by tho ccm--ffable
they succeed In Inducing the de
fendant to bring a counter-charge
against the prosecutor, and also, nil
parties to bring against nil the other
parties all kinds of trivial charges,
such as false pretenses, making
threats, slander and so on, the limit
being marked only by the magistrate's
Judgment of Just how much the county
will stand. These cases go before the
grand Jury, arc Ignored, as a rule, and
tho magistrate collects his costs from
the county.
Host reprehensible of all their prac
tices, however, Is that of sending In
llctltlous cases to the grand Jury or
Heading bills for discharged fictitious
cases to the county commissioners. In
the first Instance the scheme is to
have a confederate, generally a know
ing sort of a foreigner, pose as a de
fendant to any old kind of a charce
that tho magistrate and his constable
wants llctltlous Stringo Bolognl to
charge him with. The case goes be
fore the grand Jury, Strlngo falls to
materialize and the case is Ignored.
In the second Instance, the wholo
thing is worked In tho magistrate's
ofllce. To encourage magistrates to
settle trivial cases, the lawdlrects that
they shall be allowed fees for every
discharged case, Just the samo as It
the defendant was held to ball and his
case sent beforo the grand Jury. Dur
ing dull times tho magistrates, so it
is alleged, have been known to employ
themselves industriously In manufac
turing these discharged cases.
GOING ON UNCHECKED.
For years this sort of thing has been
permitted to go on without check. Tho
present county commissioners, how
ever, made it one of their first duties
to remedy the evil and as a first step
in that direction refused to allow fees
In any case where the occupation and
street and number address of the par
ties and witnesses was not set forth
In the return. This. It seems, did not
check the evil to any appreciable ox
tent. The only noticeable result was
that th magistrates were put to the
extra tasj: or writing down street and
number addresses which, by careful
investigation, they learned, did not
exist. Questioned about It. all they
would be called upon to say is that
"that's tho address they gave me."
All mild means falling, the commis
sioners resolved to put a detective at
work to gather informntlon upon
which tho looting magistrates could
bo brought to Justice. Kx-County De
tective T. K. Reynolds was selected to
lo tho work and as a. result of two'
months' labor he has, so he claims,
sulllcient evidence to secure the con
viction of four aldermen nnd three Jus
tices of the peace.
Whether or not the Information will
bo laid before the present grand Jury
has not yet been definitely decided.
One of tho commissioners is dissatis
fied to the point of disgust at the re
sults of the detective's work and says
he will not only not favor, but vigor
ously oppose proceeding against these
offenders unless all or a goodly por
tion of the known erring ones are In
cluded among the defendants.

VENTILATION, FOOD AND DRESS
Subject of Br. R. H. Gibbons' Ad
dross Before tho C. Y. W. C.
Tho first of a scries of lectures wa
given by Dr. R. H. Gibbons at last
night's meeting of the Catholic Young
Womnns' club. Dr. Gibbons' subject
wns "Ventilation, Food and Dress."
Ills reputation ai a speaker brought
forth a big audience, which showed
Its appreciation of the address by tho
Interest and enthusiasm displayed.
Itt. Rev. Ulshop Hoban Introduced
the speaker and extended the thanks
of the club to him for consenting to
open the series. Dr. Gibbons first took
up ventilation, cautioning his hearers
regarding drafts nnd direct and indi
rect circulation of the ulr. The subject
of pervious and impervious clothing
was discussed at some length. Oare
should be taken, the doctor said, in
the selection of bend dress. Prop;r
head gear Is essential for the preven
tion of catarrhal deafness. Reference
was made to Dr. Agnew, the celebrated
Philadelphia physician, who Has point
ed out that this disease was rare
among the Quaker women, chiefly due
to tho fact that their peculiar style
of bonnet gives great protection to the
head and neck.
In discussing- the food, the speaker
stated that all kinds of sweet or sour
articles should be avoided. Ho recom
mended white meats, chiefly game and
fowl.
Dr. Gibbons was heartily applauded
at the conclusion of his address, and
the desire wns expressed that the doc
tor would again favor the club with a
lecture later in the series. Remarks
were made by Bishop Hoban and
Rev. M. J. McManus, complimenting
the doctor and encouraging tho club.
The Rupert quartette of South
Scranton rendered several very fins vo
cal selections. A large class in gym
nastics was formed which will be con
ducted by Hiss Cox.
Tho next lecture In the series will
bo on Friday, Jan. IS, when Dr. W.
M. Reedy will speak on "Hygiene."
HAS MOVED TO EVANSTON. ILL.
Rev.
Mnnley S. Hard, D. D., Has
Moved West.
Rev. Munley S. Hard, D. D., and
family, have located at 1024 Grove
street. Dr. Hard Is one of the corre
sponding secretaries of the loard of
church extension ot the Methodist
Episcopal church, and holds the same
position In thnt board that chaplain,
now Bishop McCa.be, did for sixteen
years.
Mrs. Haid has been an oillcer in the
Woman's Foreign Missionary society,
and for the pant ten years was tho
corresponding secretary for the Wyo
ming conference. Miss Anlleen Hard
comes with the family from the Syra
cuse university, where she was a
member of the senior class. The late
home of the family was AVIIkes-Rarre,
Pa. Kvanstown Press.
ANXIOUS FOR VACCINATION.
Hospitals Overrun with Applications
to Be Vaccinated.
All tho hospitals were besieged with
children clamoring for vaccination yes
terday. The Lackawanna treated over
thirty.
Probably the biggest aggregation of
little ones seen tramping the streets in
(jLest of hospitals was a band of from
25 to SO children from St. Mary's
school, of South Scranton. After hav
ing visited all the hospitals with the
exception of the Lackawanna, the
band of little ones became disheartened
and returned home without being vac
cinated. ADVERTISED LETTERS.

Olgantlc Freight Pool.
Consoliilatlon ot all freltfht lnter
e?ts of all the railroads In tho country
In short, the formation of a gigantic
pool Is salil to be the latest produc
tion of the brain of J. .1. Hill, presi
dent of the Great Northern road. The
scheme Is one that is so large In lts
proportions and so far-reaching In Its
effect that railroad ofllclals In Chicago
discuss It only In whispers.
President Hill's plan comprehends a
division of all the freight business of
the country. In carrying1 out the ne
cessity of the fast freight lines, which
are now adjuncts of nearly every great
railway system, would be removed, as
there would be no Incentive to extra
ordinary expedition from the handling
of freight. For the same reason the
freight agents and freight solicitors,
who form a considerable portion of
the nrmy which draws pay from the
rallionds, would become useless ap
pendages. At largo" distributing cen
ters the freight would be handled by a
joint bureau, and In smaller places
each road would be represented by tho
same agent. The plan would cut oil'
thousands of men and save millions In
salaries alone, to say nothing of tho
millions now lost In rate-cutting.
Competition would bo n. thing ot tho
past, and under this plan, ideal from
a railroad standpoint, there would be
absolute stability of freight rates.
In a State of Collapse.
The Ih'ltlsh Iron trade seems Just, at
present to .be In a stato of collapse.
Scotch pig Iron warrants, which were
selling on December 1st at $10.48, had
fullen on December I5th to $M.40, nnd
the cable this week reports a further
fall, warrants selling down to about
$13. A similar fall Is reported In
Cleveland Iron, which some time ago
sold above Scotch pig, but has now
resumed Its usual place and Is selling
nt from 50 cents to $1 below Scotch
Iron. The furnace-owners In Scotland
claimed that, owing to tho present
high ptlces of coal, they had been
losing money att tho higher prices, and
a number of them have already put
their furnaces out of blast, preferring
to remain ldlo than run at the loss
which $12 or $13 pig iron would en
tall upon them.
Of course a great deal Is said about
American competition; but a falling
off In orders and a general contrac
tion In business are really responsi
ble. It Is quite probable, however,
that a reaction will follow. The boom
In tho Iron trado Is over for the time,
but the actual volumo ot business Is
still very large, and wo do not doubt
that the Ironmalcera will find worlc
enough to do, though not at boom
prices; whllo the coal prices will grad
ually bo adjusted to changed condi
tions.
