OTHER COUNCILMEN
ARE TO BE ARRESTED
E. B. Sturges Declares That the Municipal League
Has Evidence Against City Fathers
Not Yet Publicly Charged.
E. D. Sturses, of tho Municipal
league, In nn Interview with a Tribune
man yesterday, nald that a conference
of the league's attorneys would be
held either today or tomorrow for the
purpose of deciding what coutse to
pursue In the bribery cases now pond
ing before Alderman Fuller, who re
tires from office next Sundny night.
"I do not think," said he, "that
there will be any more hearings In
these bribery cases. We shall proba
bly ask that certain or the men now
under arrest bo hold under ball for
court, and will drop tho cases against
the others for the present.
"When tho cases now pending arc
disposed of, cither by asking that tho
defendants be held for ball or by drop
ping them, will that end the prosecu
tions against boodle councilman?"
asked tho reporter.
"Not nt all," replied Mr. Sturges.
"We have evidence yet to convict
several who have not been nrrreBted."
"Is It likely that there will be more
arrests?"
"It Is more than likely. It Is cer
tain. The league is not at till through
with Its work of purifying the atmos
phere hi and around city hall."
Mr, Sturgs stated that his connec
tion with the league as a member of
clerks for the department of public
works, and makes no provision for
clerks for either of the two bureaus
above mentioned.
A MIN00KA (MUDDLE.
Citizens of the Township Object to
the Erection of a Costly
School Building.
Lackawanna township has come to
the front again with some Intricate
problems In municipal law for Presi
dent Judge Kilvvards to solve.
Patrick Olsltln unci Thomas Dolan,
two taxpayers of the township, peti
tioned for an Injunction to restrain the
school board from erecting n new $20,
fi00 building in Mlnooka, alleging that
the contemplated Indebtedness will in
crease the township'" liabilities beyond
the prescribed two per cent, limit.
According to their figures the pres
ent Indebtedness, plus the cost of the
building, will be $34,500. Two per cent,
of the assessed valuation Is $15,000.
The difference of $19,500, they claim, is
not met by available assets, their cal
culations leaving the district about $300
shy.
The school board, on the other hand,
figures that the assets exceed the lia
bilities by $1,308. It claims there was
$14,784 in the treasury April 1: $4,784 in
the hands of the tax collector and $1,000
due on a lot, which one of the contrac
tors for the new school building has
agreed to take In part payment on his
contract.
Kven though Its figures should be
wrong, the board says. It has still $1:
000 due from Moosic: borough to fall
back on. and if that Isn't enough, tho
thirteen mills levy for building pur
poses, which can be made in June, will
more than make up anydellclency.
The petitioners, In answer to this,
contend that the amount of money
owing from Moosic Is yet to be deter
mined by partition proceedings and
cannot be taken Into account as an as
set for the purposes of tho present
case. They also aver that the revenue
to be derived from a levy that can be
made In June Is not to be taken Into
account now, as there Is nothing cer
tain about It. A new board of school
directors take office June 1, and as
there Is no law to compel them to make
a thirteen mill or any other levy, no
ono can say now tlmr the levy will be
made. '
If the petitioners' figures are found to
be the correct ones, It will then devolve
upon Judge Edwards to decide whether
or not the as yet undetermined debt of
Moosle to Lackawanna township can
be figured as an asset, and if not.
whether the levy that can be made In
June at the discretion of the Incoming
board can be taken into account.
The whole of yesterday was occupied
In presenting testimony and making
arguments on the rule for a prelimin
ary Injunction. Tho petitioners wero
represented by Hon. John P. Quinnan,
Herbert L. Taylor and AV. S. Dlehl,
Township Solicitor M. J. Donahoe, with
D. J. Heedy, solicitor of the Scranton
school district, and A. D, Dean opposed
tho rule. Judge Edwards reserved his
decision.

IT IS NOW CAPTAIN RUSS.

Second Lieutenant George Iluss, Jr.,
of Company A, Thirteenth regiment,

captain of that command to succeed
Thomas Gilman, resigned. Captain
Russ, who bus just attained his ma
jority, Is said to bo the youngest cap

to be transacted.
the executive committee, which Is
really the governing body of tho or
ganization, would terminate after the
June session of quarter sessions court.
"I shall retire ns an active , prosecu
tor at that time," said he, "In older
that I may enter upon my active du
ties an Jury commissioner. Wo shall
make a strong and vigorous elTort to
clear up tho list of cases In which tho
league is Interested at the coming
June session. Wo are prepared to
fight bitterly any attempt which may
he made to have those cases contin
ued, and will, I think, succeed In get
ting the list pretty well cleared up.
If this Is done, I can enter upon my
duties us Jury commissioner without
any hesitation.
"1 think that wo are just now about
ns badly In need of n new line of jury
materia! ns we have ever been. Tho
Juries during the lost week of the re
cent term of quarter sessions seemed
to have their minds made up before
hand that evotybody was Innocent,
nnd Hip consequence was thnt nearly
evpiybody was discharged. ft was
almost :i trjtvesty on justice. If the
ilatton case hud been on trial and wo
had pioved forty times over that he
wafi. guilty, I feel confident he would
have been acquitted."

large congregation, tho occasion being

He dwelt especially up the evil con
sequences, of receiving the sacrament

rible example of .Indus, who hotrnyoit
Christ. The altar was superbly beau
