ble Deputy Attorney General
Flcltz Sets nt Rest Some Generally
Indulged Speculation Director
Hitchcock Makes Explanations E.
B. Sturges' Views.
Tlioic was nothing (IoIiik on the lltliifr
lino nt city hnll yosteidny. The act
that CoiiKrcssmun fonncll nnd Colonel
nipple went to HnirlHbuiK to look after
th apptoiiiiatloti for the Lackawanna
hospital and other things, caused at
tention to be dlvcitcd to the state
capital and speculation was rlfo all the
day us to what would coma out of the
visit.
Recorder Jlolr was one of tho few
otllt'lals who could not nllow the legal
holldav to Intel fere with their work.
Reorganization niattois put htm back
In his routine lubois. nnd though ho
wild a ciy .sick man, and under the
law entitled to 11 day of est, ho would
not avail himself of It.
"With 11 Tilhuno icpoitcr, lute In tho
afternoon, he rieely discussed tho In
tel eitlns events of tho past few days.
"I want It understood," said the le
cmilcr. with appi opi late gestures, em
phasizing earnestness, "that I hae not
done anything, am not doing anything
and do not propose doing anything to
antagonize Congiessmnn Council. This
attempt, by thoso on the outside, to ex
plain my action In the demons mat
ter by lijlng to make It appear that I
am disposed to contest his light of
leadership Is the veriest trash. Jly ic
fusal to appoint Mr. demons was
simply because he, personally, was not
disposed to act In harmony with the
executive head. The fact that ho was
endoised by Jlr. Connell had nothing
whatever to do with the matter. Mr.
('lemons made himself impossible.
That's all."
All this was wholly voluntaiy on the
pail of the lecoider and not the icsult
of any suggestion of the repoiter either
by question op speculation.
WHAT rLTJITZ S VID.
Deputy Attorney rieneial Ku-dcilik
W. Fleltz, who came up fiom llairl.s-
buig, Thtiisdny night, to spend the
K.ister lecess at his home, expiesed
lilmsell as deeply legretful at tho ap
patent bieak between the recorder and
the congressman.
"It is deplorable," said Mr. Fleltz,
"from eveiy point of view. The pni
tlsans ot both will claim that ench was
in the right. "Which side was light and
which wiong is not the paramount
question. Just now the concern of the
paity leadei.s should be about avoiding
asjuuch as possible any huitful le
sufis to the city and the party. I trust
ll is only tempor.ity; that wKe counsel
will prevail and that the patties in
intei est will get together in a bioad
spit It to loicstall any 111 consequences.
"All tin.' oiiginal appointments were
so pie-pminently tit and pioper that
the distui banco is made the moie de
ploiable. 1 have been asked frequently
today as to my opinion of what -would
come of the iccordei's action. I do not
pose as knowing more In this icgard
than many otheis, but this I do know,
that C5ocinor Stone can be depended
upon to do anything which he Is as
suied by Mr. Connell Is for the best
interests of the people and paitv in
this section. Theie Is no speculation
about the matter. The governor will
do what Mr. Connell wishes should bo
done. He will do this, not because he
would allow Mr. Connell or any other
man to dictate to him, but because ho
lecognlzes Mr. Connell as the paity
leader in this section of the state, anil
as u man in whose judgment he has
absolute confidence.
"In common with the many inter
ested in the success of the party and
the new rity admlnlstiation, I sln
ceiely trust that tho cloud which has
appealed may be dissipated and that
peace will soon hover oer the scene."
HACK FROM" HARRISBURG.
Consrcsbmun Council and Colonel
Ripple ictuined irom Hnriisbuig last
eenlng. In response to the questions
of the newspaper men, Congressman
Council said It was true he had been
to Hanisbuig to see Governor Stone
and Hint ho had seen Governor Stone,
but that ho had not nuked lor tho le
nioval of Rocoider Molr, as was ie
pdited about town dmlng the day. A?
to what his business was with tho
governor, Mr. Connell was sllont,.'
The llssuie between the iceordor and
the councils on the icoiganization ordl-
j niinco matter is fast assuming the pio-
i'hi 1111111 in H uuuicr-uiuu nig ureacn.
"When Selectman demons Introduced
the "chaser," Thursday night, ho made
a statement of the circumstances under
which It was diafted, Indicating to
councils that he nnd Dhector Roche
weio anxious that their friends In
couni lis should support the measure.
"This was drafted at a conference,
ou say?" qucilcd Chaliman Chitten
den. "Yes," niihweied Mr. demons, half
IntoiTOgallvely. "You do not suppose that conference
bound anybody who was not theio, do
5011V" Chad man Chittenden tejolned,
"Oh. no: not at all," lepllcd Mr,
i 'lemons.
Ycsleiday a Tilbune icpoitcr soiiKht
out chad mini fnlpln. ot the common
council, and Inteirognted him as to the
posslhlu tieatment the chaser would re
ceive In tho loner biantli.
"It wasn't given a vciy wnim iccep
tlou in the select blanch, was li?" said
Mr. Calpln. "You can't expect that It
will receive a. much wanner inception
In the Demooiatlo lower bianch, This
'chaser may pass, but it will hardly
pass in its present condition. Tho leg
islate e said In the Muchlbronner act
H1.1t tho otllces of tieasuier and delin
quent tax collector might be combined.
Councils burn accepted this delegated
legislative aulhoilty and combined" the
ofllces. Tho power of the letorder to
appoint the collector was contingent
upon the councils falling to accept the
authoilzatlon to combine the oillca
with that of tieasuier, The councils
hao acted In this matter, and to my
mind they will not levnrso themselves."
If the councils aio wiong In this
matter, Collector Jenkins will he the
gainer by their lefusal to pass the
"chaser." Tho Muchlbronner "sched
ule" piescilbcs that the salary or tho
head of each department shall be 45,000,
hut councils may iedmo this to not less
than 12,500. The "chaser" fixes the co.
lectors salary at $3,500.
AN APPOINTIVE OFFICU.
It Is contended by the lecoider that
the leglslatiiie m.njo the office of tax
collector appointive and stipulated thtt
ho should bo appointed by the recorder.
When the legislature In a lateral clause
nf tho net said that the offices of treas
urer nnd collector might bo combined,
It did not mean that councils should
do the combining, but that If tho ic
eordor saw fit ho might refrain from
making his appointee a scpaiato offi
cial and make the city tic.isurer the
appointee.
Hcio Is the rlnuc of the act dealing
with the matter!

Tho icorganlzation ouIIiiuiilc pin
vldes that tho treasurer shall collect
tho delinquent taxes nnd receive a
commission thercfotc. The lecoider
has told Mr. Jenkins to ptoceed with
the'' collection of thoSe taxes under the
salary ptovldod In the act, or the do
ci eased salary fixed by the chaser If
It should pass. If the ticasurer and
Mr. Jenkins both obey orders as they
aio sworn and bonded to do. the delin
quent taxes ought to bo pietty wellcol
lected. Director Roche will 111 ge upon coun
cils the necessity of putting In an ele

which the public have business have
been eqngiegalcd on the third floor.

cordcr Is to be followed.
CHANGE OF QUART URS.
The city hall quarters have undei -gone
another chnngo about. Director
Roche has given tip to the delinquent
tax collector the quarters he fhst se
lected in the file room of the contiol
lei's suite and hied himself to tho foi
nier boatd of health loom with the
nssessois, a solid partition along the
middle of the big apatlmcnt sepaial
ing it into two ofllces. The bin can ot
health has been domiciled In the ic
ccptlon loom nt the head of the second
lloor corridor instead of In the Isolated
common council committee room.
The estimates committee of the new
i ouncils will got to work next Monday.
Chaliman Chittenden has appointed
Selectmen AVagner, Oliver, Meiiiinan,
Vnughan and Shea. Chaliman Calpln
named Commoneis Noiton, Coleman,
Phillips. Keller and Partridge. This
makes five Democrats and five Repub
licans on the joint committee.
As might be supposed by those w bo
know the sterling- quulities of the new
dhector of public safety, Colonel
Hitchcock is not a little piqued by the
intimations. I -; he accepted the of
fice under coi tions to which ills pie
decessor woul iot subscribe.
"When, on Monday last, the lecoider
informed him that he was being con
sidered for the department of safely
poitfollo, he flecl.it eri then and theie
that if he wax appointed the appoint
ment must cany with it the undei
standing that he was to have Agent
Robert "Wilson, of the Municipal
league, as his thief of police. In the
interim between this deelaiation and
the day of his appointment, he learned
fiom consultation with Mr. Stuiges
that the league could not spaio Agent
Wilson from his piesent position,
HAD NO ONH IN MIND.
Thus Colonel Hitchcock went Into
the dliectoiship villi no one in mind
lor the suboullnatc ofllces. He -was
not even asked, ho says, to lelain
Chiefs Xizlcmaiin nnd Robilng. The
lecorder expressed himselt as feeling
that ho was being- given a peisonal
aft tout by the contemplated action ot
Mr. demons in declailng ho would,
without as much as meeting the man,
at once depose Chief Zizlemanu, who
had been placed at the head of the de
partment by hhn when he was mayor.
This alleged dnoct and summary
stab at his judgment as a chief execu
tive -was pot lelishcd by tho recoider,
and when the dlieotor-to-be would not
consent to even give Mi. Zizlemann
an opportunity of piovfng that the ie
coidei's Judgment was not so widely
misidaccd as the dlrector-to-be would
tiy to make it appear, a new incum
bent for the dliectoiship was the only
lecourso. This, at least. Is the version
put forth by the recorder's friends.
All thai Colonel Hitchcock did in the
way of allowing conditions to be at
tuched to his appointment if it can bo
so characterized was to declaio 11
policy to the effect that he would not
icmovo a man who was competent and
honi-st. The icconler expressed him
self as peiiectly satisfied with this
policy and invited Colonel Hitchcock
Into his cabinet.
THEY ARR CIRATIFIRD.
"Individually, the members of tho
Municipal league nie gratified at Colo
nel Hitchcock's appointment," said Mr,
Sturges, yestci day. "Not that' we i ei e
not gratified that a man like .Mr.
Clemons should have been chosen, but
that as Mr. demons is out of II, a
man like Colonel Hitdiock succeed
him. Colonel Hitchcock tells mo he ie
t eived the appointment uucondltonally;
Hint he s free nnd untiamtneled to act
as ho sees fit In tho matter of selecting
his subordinates and conducting the
woik of his department. I trust this Is
so,
"Do not for a moment) think I doubt
Colonel Hitchcock's word. I know him.
He Is no liar. It I did not know him I
would still bo satlMled he Is telling tho
truth, for another man, whoso iclla

incides exactly with that of Colonel
