OPINIONS ON
LOCAL APPEALS
SUPERIOR COURT PASSES ON
SCRANTON CASES.
Judges of Superior Court Handed
Down Number of Opinions Thurs
day at Willinnisport on Appeals
from Rulings of Scranton Judi
ciaryIn Majority of Instances
Local Judgments Aie Affirmed.
Famous Baylor Woods Case Is. in
the List nnd Will Be Taken to Su
preme Court.
A number of very lmpoitunl opin
ions wore handed down Thursday at
Williamsport, by tho Superior court, on
cases appealed from the local courts.
In the majority of Instances tho Judg
ment of the local Judges weie af
firmed. The opinions related to the
following cases: Hoiough of Taylor
vs. Postal Telegianh and Cable com
pany, alllimed; Kelly vs. Donnelly, de
cree loveised; llaylor vs. Stephens, uf
lll tiled, Beptoglt- vs. Fiothillghniil, af
firmed Keller vs. Shildan. decree
nlllrmed.
The ease of Lieutenant of Police M.
F Spellinan ngalnst the City of Scran
ton, In which Mayor Molr took an ap
peal from the local court's decision,
was continued until the March teim.
The wise of the Commotnv enlth against
Attorney Ucoigo Bcnlu was advanced
to Hairlsburg, March 12.
The action brought by the Tlorough
of Taylor against the Postal company
was the result of an otdlnitnro which
was passed by the boiougli council In
1X93, providing for the taxation of all
telegraph and telephone companies, at
tho late of si a polo and $2.r0 for each
mile of who In Taylor. Action was
begun in the court of common pleas In
1S9" to compel the Postal company to
comply with the stipulations of this
ordinance.
UAVK .rUIXiMHNT.
An affidavit of defense was llled nnd
the court, on motion of counsel for the
borough, gave Judgment for the hitter
for want of a suiilclent nflldavlt of de
fense. Attorney Flank It. Shattuck, of
Philadelphia, leprcscnted the company
before Judges Archbald, dunster nnd
Edwards, who sat In Argument court,
and after Judgment was given, an np
peal was taken to the Supeilor court.
When It went to trial, however, the
attorney for tho defense did not ap
pear, a nolle pros, was stiff eied and tho
company paid the amount of Judg
ment. Tho license fees had meanwhile tie
cumulated and another action, the
present one, was begun In 1S97, by
Solicitor John M. llairis of the bor
ough. In couit, judgment for $300 was
given. Attorney Shattuck appealed to
the Superior couit nnd In January sub
mitted a "paper argument." Thurs
day's decision of tho Superior court
announces a victory for the borough,
and it Is very likely that the matter
will now be taken into the Supreme
court.
A similar action was heatd by Judge
McPherson, now United States district
Judge In Philadelphia, on July 14, 189S,
when the Central Pennsylvania Tele
phone and Supply company also con
tested the borough's action. Judge Mo.
Phcrson then decided that boroughs of
this state, Interpolated under the Act
of 1874, had the right to collect license
fees from telegraph and telephone com
panies, as in such caes the same con
ditions existed In n borough as a city,
THE BAYLOR CAPE.
Another cabe passed upon by the
Superior couit authorities was that of
William Baylor, of Benton, vs. Lot en
C. Stephens, of Nicholson. Baylor Mied
Stephens In the court of common pleas
ill the June term, 1900, for damages to
several acies of forest laud belonging
to him at Benton. The tiees on this
weie alleged to have been burned to
the ground, or greatly damaged, by
the llames spreading from the hind
nearby owned by Stephens, upon which
the hitter had built a largo lit e nnd
neglected to properly pi event ftotn
spreading.
The suit was heard by Judgo Al
bright, and tho jury awarded Baylor
$S0O damages. Baylor was i ('presented
by Attorneys Joseph O'lirL-n, C. H.
Soper and W. W. Baylor, his son, while
Stephens' interests wete attended to
by Attorneys. A. A. Vosburg and K. C.
Newcomb. The latter appealed for
their client on the ground that the evi
dence was not established as to negli
gence, the cause of action was not
stated In the declaration In accordance
with the evidence, and the court was
In error In certain portions of the
charge. Stephens will now make ap
plication for an appeal to the Supreme
court. The action Is a peculiar one,
In that It Is the only case of Its kind
recorded ever tiled In a Pennsylvania
court.
Decree was tuveri-ed in ilu appeal of
Kelly vs. Donnelly, In li'dge Hire.
This was rii action ovt a llttu fence.
Mrs. William Kelly and .lo-cph Dan
nelly were nelghbdis on ihe sou block,
Madison avenue. In the Jail of lSW,
tho Kelly liovsi) had been moved, leav
ing a vacant lot. and Donnelly built
a fence, which, Mis. Kelly found when
she had a new house, built tieypassed
out the line, the post cutting off
seveuil Inches of her land. She se
eurcd a prellmlnaty Injunction to pie
venl this, and nfter hcailng SI wvs
made a peimancnt oil
Objections were filed by Donnelly,
which were ovei ruled by Judgo fluns
te.r, this being one of his last decisions.
Attorney W. S Hulslnndcr and Judgo
John P. Kelly weio counsel tor Mrs.
Kelly and attorneys Clcoigo M. Wnt
snn and T. P. Duffy for tho defendant.
They took the matter to the superior
coutt, and argument was heard In It
last Januaiy.
Tho superior couit affirmed tho $l.2S0
Judgment given hero In a. suit brought
against Aithur Fruthlnghnin by D. B.
lteplogle. Suit for 81,500 damages
was bi ought by Beploglo and heard In
May, lPno, in the court of common
pleas, Tho case wns the. outcome or
several aetlnns brought ngalnst thu
attorney by Frothlngham, who
chnmed embezzlement of $12.". Thn
nilglnal action date.) back to May,
IS?.". Fiothlipjliam had Beploglo ar
rested twice, and t after thu second
nrrest the counter action was begun.
AGAINST FROTHINCUIAM.
After Judgment wan given against
Frothlngham ho appealed the case,
and It was aigued In supeilor court
by Attorneys James H, Torrey for
Beploglo nnd Attorney It, II, Holgato
for Fiothlngham. Judge Beaver band
er down the opinion, utllrmlng tfio
Judgment.
The appeal taken by Mayor Molr
fiom Judgo Aiehbald's lullng duilng
tho September term of court in the
Spellinan case n continued until the
March session of superior eout t. Spell
mill brings suit ngalnst tho city for
wnges ns rt lieutenant of police, ilt
since Mayor Molr sent a communion-
nun iu council removing nun. uuiiii-
clls have never concurred In tho dis
missal, and Judgo Archbald ruled that
Spellman was entitled to his full sal
ary. Through his attorney, Oeorge
Watson, Mayor Molr appealed the
case.
The nppeal taken by counsel for
Attorney George Beale, charged with
embezzlement, was advanced on the
superior court list to llnrrlsburs,
March 12. Beale wns recently convict
ed of embezzling $1,200 from the Meado
estate, and through his counsel At
torneys John F. Scragg and L. P.
AVedeinnn, then appealed thu cae.
TUB SHEBIDAN CASE.
Judge Beaver handed down an opin
ion, nfflnnlng the decio-; In the mut
ter of Keller vs. Sheildau. Thlo action
wns instituted by tho local couit In
September, IMS, discharging a inle to
open Judgment in the c.ise of William
McUonough, to use of Luther Keller,
vs. Anna Sheildau. McDonough had
ronttneted to eiect u building for tha
defendnnt, nnd July S, 1S9S, she made
her note for $175 to him. This wn-
subsequently assigned to John Flana
gan, nnd later to Luther Keller, who
nine days after tecelvlng It caused
Judgment to b. entenl on the confes
sion theieln, but no step was taken
to open tho Judgment until August 4,
1899, after plaintiff was compelled to
hsue exceptions. T. F. Wells was at
torney for tho prosecutor In tho case
and .1. W Carpenter for the defense.
WHY INSANIH IS
ON THE INCREASE
Tiofessor Heibeit W. Halt Ascribes
It to the Lack of Phos
phates in Food.
In n lecenl Issue of the New Voile
World, Piofessoi Heibeit AW Unit,
the eminent alienist, had an luteicsllng
article giving his reasoirs why Insan
ity Is on thu Ineieaso. His text wns
the suicide of a man. Ftlti! Bruukc
by name, who, at fifty, claimed to
have outlived his usefulness. AVIth
reference to this incident Professor
Hart wrote:
"The reason wltj he e.tnie to this
conclusion was because his brain
or nail of tho hialn like that of all
suicides, lacked the nourishment that
was neeessaty to Its normal action.
There are millions of so-called Christ
ians whose bialns are statved by the
lack of phosphates In their food to
such an extent that the superior or
gans that should control the mind nnd
Iwdy do not act at all. As I told the
medical men nt the School of Medicine,
In Forty-third street, some years ago,
when called upon by the president to
speak unon the subject of the rela
tion of food to Insanity, If the skulls
of a number of middle-aged men weie
opened more than T.'i per cent would
contain fiom 23 to Do per cant, of
watety serum Instead of brain matter.
The cause? The lack of bruin-form-Ing
material in their daily food. The
ense of Fritz Biunke Is the same as
those of other suicides, who may take
different forms of ending their lives,
but the pilmnry cause Is the same, and
thut Is the abnormally constituted
food which Is deprived of the neive
nnd brain forming phosphates so es
sential to the mutual action of the
brain, more especially the otgans that
contiol the mental nction.
PROPER THOUGHT A RARITY.
To the same cause can be traced the
lack of proper thought and .the preva
lent lack of common sense, which
leads to false notions, fads nnd
Idiosyncrasies, -which in turn tend to
moibldltv of body and mind, that
leads to Insanity and pieinature death
If not suicide. It is a deplorable fact
that Insanity Is Increasing at tho late
of COO per cent, while the Increase In
population Is onlv 100 pet cent. And
yet nothing Is being done to pi event
It. Medical specialists who ought to
be engaged In devising means to pre
vent Its Increase are more Interested
In large fees they obtain for simply
declaring a person Insane, and so long
as doctors thrive on the sickness and
disease of tho community so long
will they be Indifferent. Thcie Is only
one lemedy, nnd that Is to pass a law
making it a penal offence to mill
wheat, or any other ceieal, by a pro
cess of sifting and dressing by tho aid
"of superfine silk or other Iwlting cloths
which removes the binln nnd nerve
forming phosphates, for want of which
properties the woiklng classes, who
depend so much on bread for nouilsh
ment, aie half starved. They don't
know what healthy life Is: theteforo
they consider life is not worth tho Ilv-
j lng. But It would bi If nominally eon-
siiiuieu in eau anu omer loous were
proeutable."
Jt Is an inteiestlng circumstance that
this theory of Professor Hurt bus
been long anticipated by Dr. D. B.
Hand of this elty, who four yeais ago
was led by It to undeitake the oxperl
ments that have since come to a head
In the bi.iud of condensed milk, with
phosphates and hyiKiphosphltes, the
ital purt of the wheat, added, which
beaiH hla name, and which Is rapidly
winning lecognltlon as a food of ex
ceptional meilt.

MISS DE GRAW
EXONERATED
TEACHERS' COMMITTEE DECIDE
CHARGES WERE FALSE.
At a Hcniing Held Yesteiday After
noon in No. 30 School a Number of
the Children Were Examined All
Told Different Stoiies but Two Per
sisted in Declaring That the
Teacher Had Said That the Jews
Were Thieves nnd Liars Captain
May Said They Misundeistood.
.Miss (let t mile DeUiuw, teacher In
No. 3d school, who was charged by
certain of the Jewish residents of the
Sixteenth wind with having made
statements before her class slandering
the Jewish people, was yestenlay ex
onerated of the chuige by u unani
mous vote of the teachers' committee
of the boanl of control, after a hearing
held In the school,
The heating wus held in Miss De
Graw'H room on the first floor, and
was attended by the following mem
bers of the teachers' committee and
the boatd: B. T. Jayne, A. B. Eynon,
Louis Schwass, John Gibbons', Captain
AW A. Mny, Dennis Roche and A. L.
Ftancols. A number of the prosecutors,
Including Jacob Suravitz and A, Rosen
berg, weie present In addition to Miss
DeGmtv and the prlnclptilof the school,
Miss Stevenson.
Suneilntendent of Schools Geoiga
Howell (iiieslloned the vailous children
who weio examined us witnesses, till
being ntembeisof Miss DeGiaw's class.
Thu first witness called wns Julius
Shelm, the pupil to whom Mls De
Graw was alleged to have been talk
ing when she made the alleged r
tniuks. Julius Is thirteen years old,
but the sight of so many men looking
at him seated away his voice unu he
simply hung his head and maintained
n sullen silence. Nothing win fever was
elicited from him.
SAID SHE CRIED,
Ida Pletsoit, aged thirteen years, who
had been n pupil In Mls.s DeGiaw's
room for six months nnd a resident of
these broad United States for a vear
and a half, was the next witness. Ida
couldn't speak very good English, but
she leinemberod that Miss DeGraw
had told Julius that "the Jewlh peo
ple weie stealers." She said .she had
cried when the teacher suld thut, but
couldn't remember a single, other thing
which had been said.
iMnry Rosenbeig, aged eleven years,
and Kelfe Anderson, a bright lad of
eight years, were next examined. They
both lememheied that Miss DeGraw
hail scolded Julius Shelm on tho day
In question, but they stated thnt she
had made no teference whatever to
the Jewish people.
Albeit Rosenberg, aged eleven years,
was next examined. Albeit canto Into
the loom with his face nlieamlns' with
a hundred smiles, and when he had
been seated Supeilntendent Howell
asked :
"What's your name?"
"All the Jews are thieves and lluis,"
rattled off Albeit all in a moment.
This unexpected leply got everyone In
the room laughing, but Mr. Howell got
Albert straight In n minute or two and
by a seiles of questions got him to say
that Miss DeOraw had told the pupils
In the loom that "the Jews uie all a
pack of liars." He had seen nobody
ei y when this remaik was uuide, he
said.
WAS LIKE STEALING.
Sam Dorfman. a ten-year-old lad,
said that Mls DeGraw had told Julius
that the ceitaln offense which ho had
committed was like stealing, and thut
some Jews weie bad and some were
good.
Cellu Cohen, n wee little liuild eight
years old, the daughter of A. B. Cohen,
one of the prosecutors, was the noxt
witness. She said that while scolding
Julius Shelm, Miss DeGraw had said
that "all Jews are thieves and liars,"
and told the children that they must
not go home und tell their parents
that she had said this. Nothing could
shake her story, and In reply to a
uuestlon as to whether fche liked Miss
DeOiaw, she said: "I used to like her,
but since she called us what she did, I
don't."
Bertha Stuavltz, eight yeais old. said
that Miss DeGraw hud stated that nil
Jews weru thieves and liais. but
couldn't lemember another word she
said. Richard Mlnchen, aged nlno
ye.us, who wns probably the bilghtest
witness examined, snld that Miss De
Graw had told Julius on the day In
ouustlon that what he hail done was
the same ns stealing, and stated em
phatically thut he had never heard her
say a single word In the school room
ubout the Jews.
Lena Zang, aged eight ears, was the
last witness, and said that she had
neer heard Miss DeGiaw say a slnglo
word about the Jews. Miss Stevenson,
the principal of the school, next made
a (statement and said that Miss De
Graw was not given to making ex
travagant statements, and as far as
shu knew had never disci Imlnated
against any child! en.
MADE DENIAL
Ml. Howell next asked Miss Dellraw
If she had eer made the statements
accredited to her by certain of tho
children examined, and she replied
most emphatically, "No, I never did."
She exparned that film had taken great
pains to ns not to offend the Jowlsh
chlldien, and even In selecting songs
to bo sung had been careful to exclude
those In which the name of Christ ap
pealed. Mr. Suravitz took the Hour when hn
had finished nnd wanted It distinctly
uudeistood thnt he had never told his
child or nnv other child what they
were to say. He wouldn't be satisfied
If tho board exonerated the teacher, hu
said, but would bo willing to accept a
compromise.
Mr. Gibbons slaved In leply that tho
chaiges had not been substantiated,
but that ho musn't go away with the
Idea In his mind that tho Jowlsh chil
dren weie being discriminated against.
"1 couldn't bilng myself to believe
when I first heaid of tho chuigo," bald
he, "that an American girl had ever
Insulted tho Jewish people In this way,
ami I'm glad to find the charges ills
proven." Captain Mav followed und said It
was till a casrt of misunderstanding,
puie and simple. The chlldien hud
'nlsundci stood what tho teacher had
laid, and had magnified It when they
told their parents about It. Ho be
lieved that tho charges had been pre
ferred In good faith, he said, but thn
committee would ha obliged to exoner
ate the teacher, the charges not having
been proven. Neither ho nor nny mem
ber of the committee had any prcju-
j dlco against the Jews.
Mr. Jnyne then moved that Miss De
Clinw be exonerated, nnd the motion
was unanimously adopted.
JOSEPH KLINE FOR ALDERMAN.
