THE CONSERVATORY CONCERT
Laige Crowd Attondetl It at St.
Luke's Parish House.
The Scranton Conservatory of Music,
under the direction of Mr. .1. Allied
Pennington, rhvp Its third lecllal of
this season's series of closing recltnls
last Saturday afternoon In the nudl
totliini of St. Luke's parish house.
With live largo upright pianos, nntr
a .Slelnway coneort grand piano occu
pying tho place ot honor In tho foie
ground, tlio stage presented an Inter
esting appearance; but tho beauty of
tho picture wns enhanced as tho stu
dents came forwurd to piny their solo
numbers, or joined lu ensemble pieces
at all ot tho pianos.
While several of the older students
participated in the programme tho
younger ones were largely lu tho 111a
Jmlty, and thus the Conservatory
strikingly exemplified Its success In
teaching children to play the piano. Of
these, Anna Hand, Olive .Tnilwln, Karl
Animerman, Beatrice McComb, Fred
Kossman, Mary IJooley, Vcma Lewis,
Florence Nichols, Hattlo Kills and
Clara Haas played solo numbers. Spe
cial mention should bo made of the lat
ter, who, though a child not large
enough to reach the pedals, pluyed the
Ktude in C major, by Itavlna, a piece
of considerable difficulty, in splendid
style.
An exhibition of some of the results
following the use of the Faelleii sys
tem of fundamental training was given
by Kdwln Council, Marguerite Haag,
Uutli O'Connor and Amelia AVeichel
playing together, at different piano,
nn allegretto lu any major key asked
for by the aiidipnec.
All of the solo numbers were played
from memory and, including those who
played in tho sight reading and en
semble classes, thirty-five students ap
peared In the programme. Of tho ad
vanced students mention should be
insult of Miss Marjorle Robertson's
rendition of tlio Nocturne In A Hat, by
lllchurds. Mr. Harry "Wilkins played
the dllllcult Loreley. by Seeling, and
Miss Clara Drowning played the last
movement of the D minor concerto,
with Mr. Pennington at a second piano,
in a manner worthy of special com
mendation. Of the ensemble selections
tho Overture to the Magic Flute was
the climax to the leeital.
SOUTH AFRICAN BOERS.
They Will Be a Feature of the Wild
West Show.

VERY DARING WORK.
Burglars Entered the Oflice of Wash

Between 1.S0 and L' o'clock yehter
d.iy, burglars forced open u window
In the oflice" of Washburn Williams &
Company, on Meridian btreet, and an
unsuccessful effoit was made to open
tho large safe. Tho cash drawer in
thp bookkeeper's ilc.sk was opened, but
contained nothing. The key to tho
dinner and a number of keys to the
mills and shops weie taken, as though
with a view to another visit.
The burglars would have h.-nl until.

Is never any money kept there over

and the location of the oflice is such
that any .suspicious. acting persons
could readily ho seen. A watchman
will be placed on tho premises at night

TO SEE ABOUT
THE CHASER
RECORDER MOIR OFF FOR HAR
RISBURQ TODAY.
Together with City Solicitor Watson
Ho Will Endeavor to Have Certain
Amendments to the "Ripper" In
cluded In tho "Chaser" Which Is to
Be Soon Introduced Amendment
Regarding Contracts Suggested but
Senator Vaughan Says It Couldn't
FaBs What He Has to Say.
Recorder Molr and City Solicitor
Watson leave today for Hnrrlibutg,
where they will confer with certain ot
the members or the senate, notably
Senator Muohlbronncr, with the view
of having some of the changes which
they believe should be made in the
ripper incorporated In the "chaser"
which it Is understood will soon bo In
troduced, 'Senator Muehlhronner has had a
whole lot ot amendments to the ripper
"up his sleeve" ever since that mens,
ure was passed by the legislature, and
It Is expected that ho will Introduce 11
hupplementury net including a number
of them some time this week. Recorder
Molr thinks that If this net is to be
Introduced, Scranton should have a
little lo say about what Is to go into
it henco his trip.
The principal thing which be and Mr.
Watson desire to have changed Is tho
section of the bill relating to contracts.
Kvery lawyer who has given this any
study says that It is, to say the least,
rather vague and ambiguous. City
Solicitor Watson Interprets It to mean
that the power of awarding contracts
Is vested in the recorder and the head
of tho proper department hut ho ad
mits that ho may be mistaken ami
would like to have the section so
changed as to set fortli specifically just
what person or persons shall nwaid
contracts.
AWARDING OF CONTRACTS.
The amendment which be and the
recorder will seek to have Incorporated
in the "chaser' will place tlio power ot
awarding contracts in tho hands of the
recorder, tho head of the proper de
partment, the head of the proper
bureau and the city solicitor. This is
the method which lias been pursued In
awarding what few contracts the city
has awarded since it entered tho sec
ond class.
Senator .T. C. Vaughan said on Satur
day to a Tribune man that an amend
ment changing the contract section in
the ripper could not, in bis belief, pass
tho legislature at this late hour. Thorp
would be a (ight made on it, lip said,
and any measure on which there will
he a light will fail of passage, unless
the word is passed that it must go
thtough. This is explained by t!t- fact
that both branches are just now taking
up the appropriation bills and each of
the members is so busily engaged
watching his particular items that they
haven't any fime to pass anything that
isn't agreeable to all.
The senator says that the legislative
intent In passing tlio contiact section
of tho bill was not to vest the power of
awarding contracts in the minus of the
lecorder and thp head of the proper
department. In proof of this assertion
he pointed to one of the "file" copies
of the bill, which shows that the fol
lowing words which appeared in the
bill as Introduced were stricken out:
"Kvery contract shall be let by the
city recorder and head of the proper
department and all bids shall be 10
ceived publicly by them at a time and
place to bo designated In tho adver
tisement or notice to bidders, and shall
be opened at said meeting and tlio fig
ures stated to bidders then present."
WHY STItlCKKN OUT.
"If the legislature Intended that the
recorder and heads of departments
were to award contracts," said the sen
ator, "why was this specific sentence
giving them that power stricken out?
Jn its place was inserted another pro
viding that contracts shall be 'let as
heretofore' In second-class cities anil
referring to 'tlio committee or olliclal'
entrusted with tlio awarding of con.
tracts. Certain contracts in Pittsburg
and Allegheny are let by heads of de
partments and certain ones by eouncil
luanlc. committees. Tho reason for in
sert ing the clause mentioned was to
moke no changes in this particular."
When asked if ho thought that the
clauso providing that councils shall not
"enter Into or execute" u contract
would bar out councils from the
11 warding of contracts, he said he did
not think so, for the reason that en
tering Into a contract did not, to Ills
mind, mean awarding one. It could be
implied from the senator's conversation
that when the section giving the re
corder power to award contracts was
stricken out It was also the Intention
to strike out the other section prohibit
ing councils from entering Into a con
tract, but that this had been for some
reason omitted.
Senator Vaughan said that the
"chaser," If introduced, would certainly
correct the printer's error, which
makes tlio board of city assessors
elected by the people after tho two
years' reign of tho recoider appointed
by the governor expires. This will bo
i-o changed as to make tho board of
assessors appointed.
It Is understood that Solicitor Wat
sou will nuiko nn attempt to have In
serted an amendment specifically giv
ing the recorder a veto power,

the veto power but his legal advisor
Insists thot he. should have It and has
pretty thoroughly succeeded In getting
the recorder nround to his way of
thinking. Mr. AVntson has pointed out
lo theteenrder that It would bo unwise
for him lo sign any 'Warrants for any
debt created by an ordinance or reso
lution which ho did not first approve of.
Tho recorder admits that this Is a
good point, and when Select Uotinell
ituttt Wnde Mi Finn nunc around on
Saturday with the ordinance providing
for certain Improvements In t!e Sec
ond ward the recorder signed It, Mr.
Finn was determined to run hr risks In
case the legality of the ordinance might
by any possible chance ever be tested
In court.
The recoider and the city solicitor
will also appear before u house com
mittee tomorrow, in favor of the bill
new ponding that application for the
condemnation of turnpikes or boule
vards may be made every two years.
This bill was Introduced nt the In
stance of certain residents living
along the line of the Ahlngton turn
pike, who ileslie to ngaln begin1 pro
ceedings to have that thoroughfare
condemned.
Colli t lccenlly handed down nn
opinion In (he proceedings brought
last winter, In which It wns set forth
that application for tho condemnation
of the turnpike having been refused,
once before, soiuo years ago, no new
proceedings could be brought, under
the law. Tt Is to render the bringing
of such now proceedings possible that
the bill In question has been Intro
duced. WERE DISAPPOINTED.
Expected Testimony Against Ac
cused Councilmen Not Forth
coming Witness Absent.
The postponed hearing in the cases
ot Councilman J. P. McAudrew and
ex-Councilman P. F. McCann, charged
by the Municipal league with bribery,
in connection with tho passage of tlio
new telephone ordinance, took place
Saturday afternoon at Alderman Mil
lar's olllce.
Kx-Counellnien Simon Thomas and
R. If. Williams, on whom tho prosecu
tion mainly relied to establish a. prima
fade case, were examined at length
regarding the meetings at tho St.
Charles, at tlio time tho telephone or
dinance was pending, nnd while they
admitted having received money there,
supposedly, from the old telephone
company's representatives, they each
denied that cither of the defendants
had offered or given them any money
or as for as they, tho witnesses, knew
received any themselves.
Rlcliaid O'Brien, one of th'e oflicers of
the old telephone company, was ques
tioned nt length as to his knowledge
of money being used by tho old com
pany to defeat the new company's or
dinance, but lie denied knowing any
thing nbniit'it. Ho asked Mr. McCann,
lie said, to do what he could In the in
terests of tho old company, but thoic
was no talk of money between them.
AV. F. Hnllstead was to have boon
one of the witnesses, but Agent AVilson,
of the Municipal league, reported he
could not find him. The hearing was
continued to give the prosecution an
opportunity ot .securing Mr. Hallstead's
testimony.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien, represent
ing the defnndnnts, made a vigorous
protest against a continuance. "I've
spent the whole winter and spring at
tending these hearings and I don't
want to put In the summer, too," Mr.
O'ltrlen said.
Mr. Torroy, who with 10. B. Sturges
and .Tames Gardner Sanderson, repre
sented the prosecution, replied that It
was as much bother for him ns It was
for Mr. O'Brien.
This is the third time for Mr. McCann
and the second lime for Mr. McAudrew
lo he ni rested on these same charges.
The league Is conlident that It can go
before tho next grand jury and secure
an indictment.
ATTEMPT AT KIDNAPPING.
Bold Intruder Tried to Carry Off
Nathan Weiss' Child.
An unknown man made an unsiic
cessfulatteiupt to kidnap the l-months-old
child of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Weiss
from their home, 220 Franklin avenue,
on Saturday evening.
AVlillo tho servant gill, Susie Titch
anl, was In tho house alone, the Intru
der attempted to carry olf the child,
his purpose evidently being to hold it
for ransom, hut the girl prevented It,
and periiiittod the man to escape be
fore lie could bo Identified.
The servant had placed the two eld
est children lu bed, and left tho baby
in a cradle Jn tho dining room. AVlillo
she was engaged In the kitchen, the
baby began crying and when tho girl
went to pick up the Infant, found the
Intruder carrying the baby away.
She grabbed the man around tho neck
and clung to him until he released the
child mid ran out of the house. Mr.
AVeiss Is considered to be quite wealthy
and the supposition Is that the child
would have been held for ransom,

himself. He had no hand in (lie move

It until he ' read of It in the news

recite before the governor was out

yesterday afternoon.

Hitchcock went on to say, "I had an

sought out the lecouler o have him
say explicitly that Governor Stono
was the partv responsible for my re
moval. I didn't quite credit the te
eordur's statement In that regard be
cause I felt Governor Stone could not
nffoid to do what the leconlei' al
leged against him, and It was not sur
mising in me that the j reorder ad
mit led on my next visit that neither
Governor Stone nor Senator Quay had
nnythlng to do with my removal. I
tiled to get him to say who was the
responsible party, but all the satisfac
tion I could get was thut It was the
local Republican leadeis. I did not
know then but what this was correct,
but since then I have learned enough
lo convince me that If It was Con
gressman Council he was hinting at,
ho was doing Mr. Council tin injus
tice. I am satisfied that neither Mr.
Council nor any or his intimate poli
tical fi'l'-nds caused or wished my le
moval. I think I know what consti
tutes the 'powers that be' referred lo
by the lecorder, and by this time
pretty much everyone else knows."
