A. Harkness, of 915 Fellows street,
swore out a warrant before Alderman
Millar, last evening, chnrglng P. J. .ic
Andrew, one of the strike leaders, with

NORTH MAIN AVENUE PAVE.
It Will Be Completed Within Six
Weeks.
The work of paving North Main ave
nue has been delayed for some tlmo
past on account of lack of broken stone
for tho concrete. This has been rem
edied and tho work will now bo pushed
with vlcor.
Director ot Public Safety Roche said
X w
ra, '""- ti.'.'ji.;ii
Silt
yesterday that the pavo will bo com
pleted within six weeks. The con
tract was awarded to tho CSIrurd Con
struction company, but tho work Is be
lnp done by the Harbor Asphalt com
pany. THEY HEEDED GREELEY.
Now One of Thorn Is Back East Help
ing to Fix Up a Canned
Salmon Trust.
Hon. M. a. Munley, of Portland.
Ore., formerly of this city, stopped off
hero yesterday on his way home from
New York, where he participated In
the formation of a salmon canning
combine, which will, at the outset,
control 1.7SO.00O pounds of the annual
pack of 3,000,000 pounds of the Alaskan
and Puget Sound fisheries.
Judge Munley is counsel for a num
ber of the members of the new com
bine and also interested as a stock
holder in several of the larger estab
lishments. He says that the salmon canning
Industry on the Columbia river Is
practically at an end. The law per
mits of any kind of llshing In almost
any season nnd as a conseiiiinee the
river has been tlshed out. The pack
this year, he said, will be only twenty
per cent, of what It was last year,
and last year's pack was only about
halt of what It was before. Colum
bia river salmon has become so scarce
that only the poorer speclesN are
canned. Tho choicest catches are sold
as fresh fish. It is the finest salmon
in the world and finds a market every
whete. In a few years, the Judge
thought, there will be no fish left In
the Columbia river and the world
will have to rely for Its salmon sup
ply on the upper coast fisheries.
Some of the Alaskan salmon nre
quite as choice as those of the Colum
bia river, nnd only experts can tell
the difference. On the whole, how
ever, the upper coast fish are Inferior
In color and flavor to those ef the
Columbia. The Alaskan and Ptlget
Sound fisheries nre protected by
stringent government regulations.
There is a short fishing season, and
In every week of the open season
fishing Is forbidden from Friday night
till Monday morning. If these regu
lations continue tn be enforced, the
salmon fishers say, the upper coast
rivers will plentifully supply the world
for years to come.
Judge Munley leaves this morning
for the west. He had only two days
to spare for his visit here and one
of these was spent In his native town,
Cnrbondale.
Residents of Scranton of twenty
years ago will readily recall .ludge
Munley. He was principal of Public
School No. (i, In the Seventh ward,
ami just before leaving for Oregon,
nineteen years ago, was admitted to
the Lackawanna bar.
He was In Portland only n year
and a half when he was appointed
by Governor Pennoyer to a vncanoar on
the bench of the circuit court, which
corresponds to our common pleas
court. He presided over the equity
and quarter sessions divisions.
His brother, William A. Munley,
who was principal of a school In Oly
phant, and who followed the Judge to
Portland In INOIt, became private sec
retary to tiovernor Pennoyer nnd
served In that capacity for eight years.
He nlo did newspaper work and even
tually became ri lawyer. He Is now
counsel for the Title Guarantee nnd
Trust company, of Portland.
Another brother, James 11., who left
Scranttrti for Portland eight years
ago, Is now practicing medicine at
Spokane, Washington. He Is first as
sistant to the chief surgeon of the
National Pacific railroad. Dr. Mun
ley was in the city .two weeks ago,
after having spent n year In the
enst, taking a special course In sur
gery. A third brother, Thomas Munley. Ih
manager of a large salmon packing
establishment In Alaska, of which
Judge Munley Is the principal owner.

TREASURER TO
HOLD MONEY
IS ACTING ON THE REaUEST OF
THE RECORDER.
Latter Bolieves That the Ordlnanco
Giving the City's Share of the Tax
on Foreign Insurance Companies
to the Firemon's Relief Associa
tion Is Illegal Sleeting of Recor
der's Cabinet City Dotectivo John
W. Molr Has Roslgned Tho
Resignation Was Accepted.
Recorder W. L. Connell has re
quested City Treasurer K. J. Hoblnson
not to pay any money to the Scran
ton Firemen's Kellef association out of
tho fund received Xrom tho stnte tis
the city's share of the tax on foreign
Insurance companies. Mr. Hoblnson
will obey tho request of the recorder.
In 1897 the city council passed the
following ordlnanco:
Section 1. He it ordained tiy the wlect and com
inon councils of the (lltr ul Scranton: 'that all
ucli money a.s may bu lecelved by the city treas.
liter In accordance with the net ol assembly ap
proved June US, IR'fi, be and Ij lien by ilcclircil
to be ricelved for the lienellt ol the Scranton
Fiiemen's Itellef a-0 ialinli.
Section ', That the city tie.iaurer Is hereby
directed to enter such sums on the receipt thereof
under a special iiccouiit and to uport the same
mount annually to the city clerk, who la hereby
diiected to lue a warrant therefor in favor of
the tieasurer of the Scranton Fliemen'i Itellef
association immediately afler the receipt thereof,
and on report to lain of the city tleanrer.
Section il. Tli.it any ordinance or part of or
dinance conflicting with, the provisions of this
oidinauce be and the same is hereby lepealed so
far as the mine ulTccts this oldinance.
The recorder believes that this ordi
nance Is Illegal and so firmly con
vinced is he ot that fact that he has
requested the treasurer not to obey
Its provisions. He Is of the opinion
that this money ought to be paid Into
the sinking fund and form the basis
ot n fund to care for firemen who
are temporarily or permanently dis
abled while In the service and to pen
sion men who have been In the set
vice for a gl.ven number ot years.
The money ought to be controlled by
the city nt all times.
The Itellef association will make a
strong effort to convince the recorder
that he Is In error In this matter.
Last year tho association received
$L'.701.01i and In 1S!3, $!!.400. The
money Is usually paid over the hitter
part of tlie"pear and so far In 1901 the
association has received none of this
fund, the state not having forwarded
It as yet.
The Volunteer Firemen's association
will make a strong effort to have the
money paid to them as In the past.
Meeting of Recorder's Cabinet.
A meeting was held In the olllce ot
Recorder Connell yesterday morning of
the heads of city departments nrd a
general conference tcok place regard
ing Mirlous municipal aft'iiltx. Thos.
present were Recorder Connell, Direc
tor of Public Safety F. L. Wormser,
Director of Public; AVorks John K.
Roche, City Controller Krdras Howell,
City Trc.isuier K. .1. Robinson, City
Solicitor Oeorgo Watson and City As
sessor Philip Rlnsland, representing the
board.
Director Wormser brought up the
matter ot fire-escapes, and a discus
sion took place regarding these very
essential safeguards, as to the steps
which should bo taken to specify tho
buildings upon -which llie-escnpes
should bo arranged, nnd nlso to ar
range for a proper Inspection of them
at established periods. The city solic
itor nnd director of public safety will
draft an ordinance coveilng the vari
ous phases of the question.
Director of Pllbllu Works Roche
stated that he Is seriously handicapped
by the lack of a provision for the
bureau ot parks; that Is, to have this
department specifically taken care of,
Instead of In a general way, which ;..
tho condition existing under the pres
ent ordinance. He declared that lie is
now drafting rules and regulation" for
park administration, and when he i s
completed his work will submit the it -suits
to the recorder.
A discussion arose regarding the mat
ter of delinquent tax collector, and Re
cm dor Connell said that he would al
low George W. Jenkins to establish liiw
claim to the otllce through the courts,
that he must so before the courts and
prove his claim, and he would abide by
the results of this procedure. Another
discussion was aroused over the sub
ject of providing funds for the main
tenance of city government next year.
The great revenue derived from higher
licenses this year has abundantly
helped the city along, but It was point
ed out by some of those piesent I hat
next year's Income from this source Is
likely to be a gteat deal slimmer.
It was decided lo carefully look Into
the matter with a view to ascertaining
how the city treasury will be dm lug
the coming year. City Treasurer Rob-
inson jocularly commented upon one of
the prolslon:i of tho license ordinance
now In online-lis, which places a line of
$10 upon the persons selling huckle
berries without a license, but the mat
ter was dismissed after those piesent
had laughingly talked it over.
Director Roche remarked that con
tractors doing city woik let the Julis
drag to such an extent that It fri
quently caused an expense of ten per
cent, and In some cases of plxteen per
cent, to the city. Some of the contrite
tors, he said, had deflated In self-de
fense that tlie city deserves nothing
better on acrount of Its slowness in
paying their claims.
City Detective Moir Resigns.
John W. Molr, for the last five
years city detective", yesterday hand
ed his resignation to Director of Public
Safety F. L. Wormser nnd asked that
It be accepted at once. After u con
sultation with Recorder W. L, Con
nell, Mr, Wormser accepted the resig
nation. Roth the recorder and director ot
public safety sold yesterelay that they
could not say who Moll's successor
would be. It was announced that con
siderable care will be exerclieil In se
lecting tho man nnd that In conse
quence he will not be named this week.
There Is a belief about city hall that
a few changes are likely to be mndo
In tho police department and It Is not

"I had piles ami rectal trouble for vears until It
was unbearable any longer, As I hid ollen seen

The l'.vramld Pile Cure contains no cocaine,

remedy for 60 cents.
unlikely that they will be made when
the I'ppolutment of a detective Is an
nounced.
Mr. Molr Is a son of former Recorder
James Molr anil was appointed by
Mayor John II. Fellows nearly ten
years ugo, Soon after tho election
of James C5. Halley, Democrat, Molr
was made city detective and has filled
the olllco ever slnco. He will become
manager of tho club house of the Vol
unteer Firemen's Itellef association on
Spruce street.
Sinking Fund Commissioners.
The sinking fund commission, which
consists of George Sunderson, J. A.
Lansing, George Frabie, Joseph Jer
myii nnd Kbenezer Williams, has or
ganl.i'd by electing Mr. Sanderson
president and J. A. l.nnslng, secre
tary. An ordinance Is now pending In
councils prescribing the duties of the
commission nnd as soon as It Is
passed the commission -will get down
to work. The city wants lo sell Its
last Installment of $10,000 of the Nay
Aug park Improvement bonds, but has
been prevented from doing so owing
to the delay of councils In conferr
ing powers on the commissioners.
The latter have the preference in
buying city bonds, the two Install
ments heretofore put on the market
having been purchased for the sink
ing fund. It will purchase the last
Installment just as soon as arrange
ments can be made to do so, ns the
money Is badly needed to pay for the
Improvements now being made at the
pa i k.
The sinking fund Is In a very heal
thy condition nt present. The only
tlemands to be made upon It this year
are the redemption ot two small Is
sues of bonds. One Is a $13,000 Issue,
which was redeemable yesterday, and
another ot $'22,000, redeemable Dec. 1.
School Matters.
A meeting of the building committee

tute teacher In the High school last
year, will be one of the members of the
expanded faculty of the school for next
year, made necessary by the growth of
the school.

The auditing committee met last
night and approved of a large batch
of bills. Most of them were the claims
of men employed In tlie department
of public works.
There was no dispute over any ot
the bills.
TO REMODEL COURT ROOM.
Attorneys' Ideas Reduced to
Blue
Print Drawings.
Plans for remodelling the main
court room In accordance with the
Ideas of the members of the bar were
submitted to the Judges yesterday by
Architect F. L. Drown, accompanied
by 1. II. Hums, who with Major
F.verett Warren and James II. Torrey,
coti'stllute the committee.
The plans provide for a room In each
of the rear corners, one on the Wash
ington avenuev side to bo 184x2(1 and
the one on the opposite side, lS?ix'.'i.
The larger one Is to be used as a
lawyers' consulting room nnd the
other ns an arbitration room.
A gallery with six tiers of seats ex
tending across the rear of the room
above these proposed now apartments
nnd the two entrances is also con
templated. This will give a seating
capacity of -to."), which is In excess of
the present capacity.
Two small coat rooms, one on either
sldo of the bench, are Included In tlie
provisions of the plans, but these the
judges would not approve of. They
are very favorably Impressed with tlie
other Ideas.
Architect Brown estimates that the
cost will be between $.1,000 nnd $.,000,
and Is confident that In addition to
providing much-needed quarters, tho
nlteratlons will greatly Improve, If not
perfect, the present miserable aceous.
tic properties.
It Is likely the Judges will soon make
an order for these or some other alter
ation of the room, and that tho work
will bo done this summer,

CONTROLLER IS
FOR SALARIES
WILL REttUIRE COUNTY OFFI
CIALS TO REPORT FEES.
While the Decision of the Superior
Court Stands, He Says, He Must
Act on the Presumption That the
County Officials Aro Not Entitled
to Fees Electric Light Company
Seeks a Franchise as an Act of
Courtesy Other Court House
Matters.
County Controller K, S. Jones en
teted upon the duties of his olllce yes
terday morning, occupying temporary
quarters in .Sheriff Schndt's private
olllce, while awaiting tho completion
of his suite of olllces In what was
formerly the arbitration room.
His deputy, John Morris, tho well
known expert accountant, and Ills
chief clerk, Robert Savage, of Dun-
more, took the oath of otllce In the
morning, before Clerk of the Courts
Daniels and forthwith sat In at their
desks waiting for anything In the
shape of work that might happen
along.
Delay by the printer in delivering
some of the record books, prevented
tho controller from getting down to
actual business. What few bills were
presented were put over for a dny or
two, In consequence ot the delay In
the delivery of the books, Mr. Jones
performed no distinctly olllclnl act
jesterday.
The manner In which the auditing
Is to be done was explained by Con
troller Jones to a Tribune reporter.
At present a person having a claim
ngaetist the county presents his bill
to the county commissioners nnd If
they approe It, they give him a war
rant, which tlie county treasurer will
cash.
Now the bill Is to be presented to
the county commissioners anil If they
approve ot It they make out a vou
cher to the county controller. Tho
latter otllclal passes on the correct
ness and leusonableness of the claim,
nnd, If It is all right, he gives It his
approval. The claimant goes back to
the county commissioners for a war
lent nnd, receiving this, returns to the
controller for his countersignature.
The warrant being countersigned, tho
treasurer will cash It.
To pay money to the county, the
person making the payment must get
a receipt from the treasurer and have
the receipt countersigned by the con
troller. every eiay me treasurer mnKos a
return of receipts and disbursements,
and this must correspond with the re
cord of vouchers and lecelpts in tho
controller's olllce.
Mr. Jones Is proceeding on the pre
sumption that the county officials are
paid a salary instead of fees, and will
exact from each of them n monthly
statement of nil money collected by
them. This, Mr. Jones says, Is In ac
cordance with the decision of tho Su
perior court, reversing the local court's
finding In the Fee vs. Salary case,
and until the dei'lsJon of the Superior
court Is overruled he must needs ac
cept It ns the law. The case Is now
before the Supreme court nnd a de
cision afllrmlng or reversing the find
ing In favor of snlniies ought to be
handed down In the course of a few
months.
Claims It Is Superfluous,
Answer was made yesterday by f,
H. Hums, attorney for the defense In
the equity suit of R. Willis Rees, bur
gess of Old Forge, against the Lacka
wanna Electric Light. Heat and
Power company, of the some place.
The burgess seeks to prevent the
company from installing an electric
lighting system In the borough, nlleg
Ing that the ordinance nnd the con
tract are both irregular.
The defense sought to halt the pro
cecdlngs by a demurrer, In which it
was held that the burgess, either as
chief executive of the muuleipallty or
as a taxpayer, had no standing. The
demurrer was dismissed.
In the answer It is set forth that
while It Is true the ordinance was ve
toed, tlie veto was not messaged to
the council within the prescribed time
and that, at all events, when It was
messaged, the council passed It over
the veto.
Further, It Is contended that the or
dinance was a superfluity because the
company already had a franchise from
the township out of which the borough
was carved. The application for tin
second franchise, the defense avers,
was simply an act of courtesy.
