R. D. THOMAS
WAS REMOVED
DIRECTOR ROCHE CUTS OFF HIS
OFFICIAL HEAD.
The Superintendent of Highwayi
and 8ewera Refused to Resign and
Bo He Had to Be Removed Former
Select Councilman W. J. Thomas,
of the Fourth Ward, Was Appoint
ed in His Place Director Believes
Now Man Will Make a Good
Superintendent.
Itowland I). Thomas, bavins refused
to rcklgn, was yesterday removed from
the position of superintendent of high
ways and sewers by Director of Pub
lic Works Uoehe. and AV. J. ThomaH
was appointed In his place.
Director lloehe called the superin
tendent Into bis olllce shortly before 2
o'clock and Informed him that the time
had come for the parting of the wuys.
He told him that he would extend hint
the privilege of resigning If he chose
to take advantage of It, but Mr. Thom
as didn't care to resign and Director
Jtoebe aeeoidltiRly told hint that he
should consider himself temoved.
A few minutes afterwards he offi
cially announced the appointment of
AV. .1. Thomas, of Price street, to the
position. The new superintendent will
take charge this afternoon.
The removal of Itowland Thomas
was ptaetlcally decided upon by Dlrec
tot Itoche very shortly after lie took
charge of the department of public
woiks, and was delayed simply be
cause the director bad a Job trying to
tl tid a man to take the position who
measured up to its teiiuiremeuts.
When nsked why the change had been
made, the diiector said;
TI1M DiltKCTOIt'S STATKMKXT.
"It has been made because I decided
that W. J. Thomas was a far more
competent man for the place than
llnw'lumL D. Thomas. That's all I've
got to say on that phase of the ques
tion. The appointment of the now
superintendent Is my own entirely anil
If he doesn't suit the blame will lest
on my shoulders and on nobody s else.
"Will the advent of the new superin
tendent mean the beginning of any
radical changes in the management of
the bureau?" asked the Tribune man.
"Well, yes. I can say that It will
be the beginning of changes which I
have contemplated, but don't ask me
what they are to be, for I'm not pro
pat eri to say Just now," replied the
dltector.
Itowland Thomas, who was lemoved,
was appointed to the position of street
commissioner by Former Mayor Molr
about two years ago, succeeding I. )
O'Hoyle. The office of street commis
sioner Is abolished in cities of the sec
ond class and the title of supeilntend
eut of highways and sewers substi
tuted. The new superintendent. W. .1. Thom
as. Is ii staunch Republican and conies
from "c.t Seranton, being a resilient
of the Fourth ward, which bailiwick he
represented in select council for a num
ber of years with great credit. He
sought th Republican nomination for
the place again two years ago, but was
deteated by Simon Thomas, whose
revelation of the bribery rampant In
council: was one of the featutes of the
Municipal league investigation.
THK N'KW srPKUINTICNDKNT.
"Mill" Thoma.s, as he Is populatly
krown. has nlays been recognized as
oil" 'if the best men that ever occupied
a seal in lotinclls. He was a fighter
from wayba-k. and If he thought a ker
tain thing ix right, he would stick
out for It to the last ditch.
The story is told that til one time,
not many years ago. a measure was
pending which a certain large cmpoi
ntlon wanted passed. "Mill" Thomas
worked for the certain largo corpoi
atlon, but he persisted lu voting against
the nieasuie In question. One of the
big otllclals of the corporation Invited
the councilman to his olllce for a heart-to-heart
talk.
Thomas went, and had the heatt-lo-heart
talk, but Infoimed the official
when It was over that he would vote
the fame as he had been voting. If he
lost Ills Job. He voled as he bad voted,
and didn't lose his Job. and It Is whis
pered that the official of the big cor
poration now thinks a deal of him.
Mr. Thomas Is reported to have said
yesterday, when tendered the appoint
ment, that he wasn't exactly sure
whether he tas competent to take It
or not. and that If at any time he was
found to be not tit, be would be glad
to he removed.
NEW WASHING MACHINE.
It Is the Invention of Two Younjj
Men of This City.
Pinhably one of the simplest and
most useful hou.seliold inventions that
has i nine to this city recently Is a
motor and washing machine, the In
vention of C. W. Cramer, of Web.ster
avenue, and 11. C. Hunk, of Matthews
Mi os. The washing machine Is of the
regulation size and shape, the tub be
ing mounted on ball bearings, with the
pepeelnl advantage of being detachable,
the only detachable tub on recoid In
the patent office.
The interior of the tub Is all wood
no mMiils of any kind coining lu con
tact with the clothes) and so con
structed, when the tub Is in motion, us
to raise and lower the ribbed lloat
automatically. The motor Is operated
by water power and Is noiseless, nnd
so econonili al is It that no more water
Is utilized than will be required to rinse
the clothes being washed. The motor
Is very sensitive and strong, and will
be so constructed that It can he ap
plied to .my regulation machine, or for
oilier mechanical devices requiring thnt
peculiar motion.
The washer has n number of Utile
details of a very desirable nntu'e, such
as a new draining tube, latches, posts,
weight, etc. The model, full size, will
he placed on exhibition shortly in one
of the central city stores.
The washer will be known as the
"American WaFher." and will be placed
on the market In the near future at n
price only a trltle beyond the present
hand machines.

DUFFY AND STAMPEDE.
Newsboys' President Says That
Strike Against New York Sun
day Papers Is Still on.
While the 'Newsboys' union met with
what was considerably In the natute of
a rebuff Sunday when the boys Hocked
Into the Lackawanna News Agency's
establishment and purchased the New
York papers at the regulation price,
nevertheless the conflict with the met
ropolitan Journals Is far from being at
an end.
President .lames Duffy, who was
about the only boy to hold out against
the universal stampede and lvfuse to
.sell the papers, yesterday was a very
ciestfallen youth, but when a. Tribune
man met him, balled Joyously the op
portunity of letting the public know
that the strike Is not yet over.
"You can say," he remarked dog
gedly," rint dls strike nin't over jlst
yet. It's only begun."
"How's that?" flippantly nsked the
reporter, "tllriu t this about smash up
the union?"
"Hully Oee, no!" exclaimed Piesl
rient Duffy, In tones of the most star
tled surprise. "De whole ting started
by a mistake. One of rie boys didn't
know uothln' about any strike belli' on.
He wasn't at de meeting, and be Just
got his papers, same as any Sunday.
When he got bis papes. de others fel
lers Just fell In nnd got theirs loo. We'll
have 'cm fixed by next Sunday, all
right."
And with an ominous shake of his
head, the youthful leader of the ven
ders of news nnd shiners of shoes,
proudly walked from the spot In an
swer to a shrill whistle from a person
nearby, who wanted an afternoon
paper.
Sam Schloss, aged 1" years, a news
boy and bottblack, yesterday caused
the arrest of Frank Murnaek, nnother
newsboys, whom he accused of being
one of a gang who brutally absucri him
on Sunriav.
According to the story told by
Schloss, he was one of the first of th
newsboys to take out 'New York papers
on Sunday, and as a consequence was
in bad odor with the rest of the hoys.
He says he was finally cornered by a
crowd, of which Murnaek was one. and
brutally treated near the Lackawannn
station.
After beating him. he says, some of
the hoys got a bottle of seltzer water
and squirted nearly all of the fizzing
stuff down his throat. Then sump of
the boys held his eyes open nnd squirt
ed some of the water Into them.
After the hearing, Alderman Muddy
committed Murnaek to the county Jail
In default of hal'. Warrants are out
for a number of othe" hoys who are
to be civen a hearing today.
SUMMER HOME ATCRESCO
Special Appeal for Remainder of
Funds Necessary to Have It Do
Its Work of Mercy Until
Season's Close.
The summer home at Cresco has,
through the treasurer of the Men's
Guild, bad weekly grateful acknow
ledgments made for It of donations
given to enable It to carry on Its mis
sion of mercy. Yet there Is need ot
much n.iore. Kconomlcally as its funds
nri administered, experience has
proved that about $1,000 in money Is
needed each year to enable it to give
all the poor, tired out women nnd lit
tle children who most thoroughly are
lu need of its benefit their turn.
From Juno 11 to July 13 tho gifts
sent in were generous, bringing the
summer fund up to $t!l a little less
than half the sum needed. Mut slnco
July 13 the contributions have fallen
off. being altogether considerably less
than $100 additional to that received
before; and of this over $36 came from
Stroudsburg.
There Is, therefore, need of over $100
more, nnd the failure to have It given
will mean that n good many, to whom
their turn at the summer home would
mean life and renewed strength for
hard dally toll through the coming
year, would have to do without It.
Therefore those In charge of it make
this added appeal. They "glvo twice
who glvo quickly." If the committee
can have ull the needful money given
In August their hearts and minds will
be relieved by the certainty of ability
to keep the home open the full time
it should be so. Tho treasurer of the
Men's Guild 1h Samuel Wiles, his olllce

jones' narrovTescape.
The City Assessor Came Very Near
Being Drowned in Lake Sheridan
on Sunday.
City Assessor Gwilym Jones had an
exceedingly narrow escape from drown
ing at Lake Sheridan, Sunday after
noon, and had it not been1 for the heroic
efforts of his companions, John Scott,
John Davis and City Assessor Philip
Illnslnnd, he might have hunk to rise
no more.
Tho party had been enjoying them
selves at the lake during the morning,
and decided to go out for a boat ride In
the afternoon. Davis, Scott and Itins
land got into the boat fiom a landing
which runs out Into deep water. Jones
stood on the edge ot the landing and
gave the boat a shove.
It went out farther than be expected,
in fact, so far that ho was unable to
step Into It. He accordingly took a
running start and made a Jump for the
boat. He landed near the. .stern, hut
the impetus of the spring was such as
to send him flying Into the water on
the other side. An he sank, he clutched
at the edge of the ho.it. and succeeded
In turning it over mid dumping his
three companions, clothing and all, into
the water.
Jones cannot swim a stroke, and his
companion, realizing this, .swam to
where his head had gone down twice.
As he came up for the third and last
time they gtabbed him, nnd swam with
him to shore.
The whole party spent the lest of
