TRIED TO GET CLOTHING
Sciipnie a Smooth Tongued Youth
Made nn Attempt to Cniry Out
on S.ituiday.
The police have been notllled of the
opeiatlons In (he hill section of a new
and clever swindler, who Is using a
lather Ingenious modus operandi, by
which It is fenicd tiioto than one un
suspecting housewife has been de
ceived. Satutday evening he visited n
lesidencc on Clay avenue, and when
asked by the lady of tho house what
his business was, glibly and softly ic
maiked: "T regiel exceedingly, madam, to be
the bent or of bid news."
The answer was not one calculated to
nrousp any pleasant leollngs, and when
li was asked what his tidings weie,
li infoimed the lady that her husband,
a well-known centtal city merchant,
had spilled vainMi all over his suit
and that happening to be in the store
at the lime, be had voluntecied his sor-
lces to go to Mr. "s house for a
c hange ol lalment.
The sti anger can led a tailor's pastc
bo.ud dcllveiv box", which ho stated
was given him at the stote for the
clothes, His stoiy did not have the
pioper ling about it, however, so he
was told to wait on the pinch until the
clothes weie socuied. Th" stote was
then called up and a telephone conver
sation held, in which It was learned no
accident ol any sot t had happened. The
man's clcci ipllon, moi cover, tallied
with that of a person who was in the
stoie during tlie afternoon, and had
thoio evidently learned the home ad
clioss of his piospoi live victim.
Tlo next move was to call up the
cenli.it police station, but by the time
a p.iltohnau icspnudcd the young man
baa depaitod. Ho is sboi t in height,
weighs about 110 pounds, has a black
moustache, nud S.ituiday whip a datl:
slouch hat and blue suit.
Siitiiidnv iifieinoon a similar game
was w oiked at a house In Plait place,
with like results. A man with a lailoi's
cleliveiy box called theie and informed
the lady ot the house th.it he was sent
by John Ward foi a suit of clothes, as
a can of paint tin own oft" a step-ladder
had completely splatteicd him, near
the l.jceiim, and he was awaiting his
clothes In Davis' tailor shop. In this
case, also, the lady was suspicious and
sent Mr. Man otf with the advice to get
a note liom Mr. Wind befoio attempt
ng to got his clothe i.

SENATOR VAUGHAN TALKS
ABOUT RECORDER'S VETO.
Snya That tho MemborB of the Legis
lature Knew When the Ripper Bill
Was Passed That It Contained No
Veto Provision A Chnser Pre
pared Containing the Piovtslon
Which Will Be Intioducod If tho
Ripper Is Dcclniod Constitutional.
A. A. Vosbuig's Views.
It linn bi en stated so often or late
that tho Intent of the Icglslatuto lu
passing the ripper bill was lo give
the recoidcp the power ot veto that
a Tribune man sought out Senator .T.
C. Vuttghan last night fop the ptnpoe
of getting his views on the sublet'!.
"When the ilppep bill wus Hist In
tioducod," said tho senator, "I noticed
that theie was no provision for a veto
mid 1 called the attention of some of
the tendons to the fact. A general dis
cussion followed and It was learned
that the petson who framed the ordin
ance had omitted the section giving
the executive the veto power ,
"I suggested that thu bill bo
amended so lap as to Include a piovi
s'on for a veto, but I was not listened
to. Those behind the bill did not want
lu nnicndid and It went throtih with
out being changed In this lespect. I
can't see how it can be figured out that
the legislature Intended Including a
veto piovislon for every member who
voted for the bill did so with his eyes
cpon.
"Hvciv member know that there was
no specific piovislon for a veto, jet
the tact wns not disctis-cd either in
committee or on the floor. No section
of the bill as It stands now can be
construed in any way to mean thnt
the lecotd-'r Is given the "veto power
over any oidinanee except general
or special appiopriiUion oidinancos. If
It Is so constiucrt It will be by a very
vclid and wondeiful piece of reasoning.
TO IXTHODUCC CHASKU.
"Theie Is, however, a 'chaser' to the
ill 1 op hill which Is leady to be intio
diicpil in case the latter Is" declated
by the supi erne court to be constitu
tional. This will give the lecorder the
veto power and will piovlde a moans
fop passing oidinances and losolutiotts
over his head. The 'chater' will also
piovlde for the election of cotin-cllmen-at-laige.
Thli will undoubt
edly bo Intioduced If tho lippcr bill Is
decinied constitutional, but 1 don't
tnlnk the chances ot pas.dng it me
very blight."
Tho senator said that the prevailing
sentiment during the past few days
in Harrisbuig has been that Hie ripper
would be deckued unconstitutional.
In ordpr to be prepaied for such a
contingency, he is preparing! an act
to fill some of the gaps in the old sec
ond class city geneial laws which in
the case ot rittsbuig and Allegheny
aie tilled by special acts applicable
only to thoio two cities."
Foinior City Solicitor A. A. Vosbutg.
when asked by a Tribune lepoitcr
whether in his opinion the city te
coidcr has the power to veto oidin
ances, under the ripper bill, lcplicd
bv calling attention to the fact that the
only piovision in this bill i elating to
the veto power is At tide 1, Section 2,
whie h i elates to the approval or disup
pioval of apptopilatiou oidinances or
Items t lioi eof.
NO KXPItPSS Al'THOlUTY.
"AUinlf-'sny." said ho. "the Afucl
biomicr bill confcn no expiess author
ity upon the executive ollkep ot Hie
city, to veto any ordinance or icsolu
t cm which may be passed by the
councils, and I fail to see uny piovi
slon which confers Mich power upon
him bv nocess.iiy implication. Fiom
my knowledge of the history of litis
li'giuhitlon I am of the opinion that
this omission was intentional and not
accidental." i
All. Vosbuig said that the Act of 1S7I
confened veto power upon the mayor,
but thnt tint provision seemed to be
fully covcied bv the repealing iliiusc
of the ripper bill
"It Is not essential," said he, "to the
validity of tills act that theie should
bo any power of veto conteiied upon
the leeoidor. The legislative blanch is
essentially the law -making power, and
the veto power has only been confeircd
upon tlie executive In. inch of the gov
ernment, as a cheek upon unwise legis
lation. This powei ol veto, In national
concerns, was not originally Intended
to be ns t:ciiienlls used as It nftci
w a Ida ciime to be.
"Chancellor Kent. In his Commen
taries, p. . says. 'This qualified
negative of the l'lesldent lias lu tho
ptogiess of tho tulniliilstiution of Hie
government, rinoe the Hist publication
of these Commentaries in IS.'iI, become
a. eiy mavo power, and applied under
tho oidinnry name of veto with a la
mlllnlty which appeals to have been
anticipated by tho c.eneiatlon which
adopted tho constitution.'
"Whether It is w M op olheiwlso to
take uway fiom tho city leeoidop the
powop to appiove op veto legislation
I iihsed by tho city councils Is a inaltep
eutliely top the leglskitute to dotep
