FIRE DEPARTMENT
The nmv Hayes hook nnd ladder
truck lias been accepted by Director
of Public Safety P. I.. Wornifer, nfter
bavin been tested to the complete rat-
Isfnctlon of both hmself nnd Itecorder
Connell. Chief .lzelmann Is expected
home from hl vacation today, nnd
when he arrives the question of ills
poslns of the old truck will be decided.
The new hook and ladder truck nt
present stands outside the company's
lioti?e, on West Lacktiw.'innti avenue,
swathed In a eanvasi coveHtif?.
The test ulven the truck on Prldny
was an especially severe one. The
aerial ladder, which l. elphty-flve feet
IiIkIi. or twenty feet higher than the
nei-inl ladder on the old truck, was
raided to Us full height nnd supported
three men without nny apparent strain,
lr was then tipped to nn angle of
nearly forty-five degrees, with a man
on Its topmost rung, nnd was swung
throe-quartern of the way mound with
the greatest of ease.
On Saturday a line of hose was at
ta bed to the nerlal ladder and raised
about tbiec-nuarterp of the way up. A
powerful stream from two engines was
pumped through It and could easily be
thrown ;i height of over I'M feet, or
sufllclently high to reach the hlghot
story of every building In the city.
There was but a very little perceptible
Jarring while this mighty stream was
bring forced through the hos-e.
The hook and ladder truck when
mod for this purpose Is practically of
n.t much service as tho water towers,
which are In use in the larger cities.
Kor a few hundred dollar. the city c.n
purcha."-e nn attachment by means of
which the stream can be operated from
tho ground. This would be of much
advantage, as In a very fierce tiro It
would be Impossible to send a man up
tho ladder to handle the hose.
At a mreting of the bunk and call
men to be held tomorrow night, a com
mittee will be appointed to wilt on
flenoral Manager Silllman, of the
Pern n ton P.allway company, nnd seoine
from him permission for all bunk ami
call men to ride fre? nit the company's
cars, litter nn alarm of fire has been
sounded, upon showing their hailgi"
The bunk and call men believe that in
asmuch as Mr. Silllman has seen tit to
allow tho permanent men to ride free
on tho street cars at any and all times,
he should grant their modest request
for a free rldi- at times when properly
Is endangered by fire.
Tho wli-eaeies say that during the
present week there will be a few
changes In the tire department. It Is
wild on very good authoilty that a few
of tho permanent men are booked to
walk the plank. A prominent city ofll
clal said the other day that politics
would cut no figure in the lemovals.
"It's simply a case of tried and found
wanting," said lie. "The men who are
to go have ben found to be either In
efliclent or possessed of habits which
a fireman .should be free from."
The work of repairing and renovat
ing tho Columbia hose house, on Acad
emy street, Is to be commenced today,
under the supervision of Building In
spector P. U Drown.
A New Industry for Scranton.
This Is the day of new inventions
nnd new Ideas. Mr. t'omegys, tho real
estate agent, Is promoting a corpora
tion to manufacture what Is know as
the "needle and thread laundry check."
The object of the device Is to keep n
record of the clothing sent to the
laundry. The device Is made of card
board, about tho size of n business
card, on which Is printed a list of
articles usually sent to tho laundry.
Opposite the list of articles are holes,
through which tho needle nnd thread Is
passed, marking the number of arti
cles sent out.
They will be made In Scranton nnd
sold all over the country for advertis
ing purposes to business firms. It Is
estimated that S.nOft.OOO of them can
be sold In New York city. Estimates
and samples have been secured and
work will begin soon.

TRIBUNE'S CONTEST

Competition.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR
THE CLOSING DAY

Contestant It Mokes All Possible
Points of Misunderstanding Per

the Closing Day Speculation Re
garding the Outcome This Year.
Aro Points Being Held BackP
The Great Value of tho Special Re
wards Summnry of Last Week's
Work What the Contestants Did
Saturday nnd How They Stand
This Morning.
Today murks the beginning of tho
last week In The Tribune's Educa
tional Contest. The past Meek has
been one of unusual activity and ev
erything points to a very Interesting
close on Saturday night, at S o'clock,
when the last points must be legls
tered. This morning each of the con
testants whoso names nppear In the
pilnted list of lenders will receive n
copy of thl letter which Is published
below, and It Is given bore so that nny
others whoso names, do not appear, but
wJho may still hope to make rot urns be
fore tho dose, will know Just what the
artangenients ute.
The Tribune has studied uirefully to
have everything about the content per
fectly fair, nnd It Is with this object In
view that It will refuse to give out in
formation regaidlng the returns of con
testants on the closing day. To s-how
how the giving of this Information
might result unfairly we will cite n
possible case: Mr. Anderson, of I'ar
liondi'ile, who Is now In third place, and
who makes his returns by mall, might
send In sullioiont points on the clos
ing day to put him nt the head of the
list. Mr. Lewis, coming in later, if he
woie shown the return of the otheis,
might find that he needed but n very
few points to get back the position he
has held so long, and under the cir
cumstances would have little dllllculty
In getting a Mibcilptlon that would
again place him In the lead. Mr. An
derson would not have this advantage.
Therefore, the only absolutely fair way
Is to have each contestant make his or
her returns without knowledge of what
others have done.
Another ruling In the following table
that deserves jiartcular mention Is the
ono regarding ties. Fortunately last
year theie were none, but ties are al
ways possible. In case the final sum
ming up shows that two or more con
testants have an equal number of
points, the one who Hist scores that
number will have the privilege of mak
ing a first selection from tho list of
rewinds. This seems ihe only fair way
and n careful record will bo kept of
the exact hour nnd minute that each
point Is .'cored on Saturday. It will
thus be liupoitant that leturns be
made as early as possible on that day,
in order to avoid disappointment In
case of ties,

There nre a number of other Impor
tant maters mentioned In the letter.

Arc Points Being Held BnckP
Tho contestants are all wondering If
points are being held back, and The
Tribune Is wondering, too. One of the
rules of the contest reads: "All sub
scriptions, nnd the cash to pay for
same, must be handed In nt The Trlb
uno office within the week In which
they nro secured, so that papers may
bo sent to stibscrlliors. at once." The
same rule was In effect last year, nnd
yet tho returns on tho closing day
were very large. There was not n par
ticle of evidence to show that nil of
the points were not secured during thnt
week, nn no subscribers hnd made
complaints! about not receiving papers.
The piobnbllltles nro that this year,
like the last, each contestant has
friends that have promised subscrip
tions fop the closing week, and that a
careful memorandum Is kept of these,
so that they may be looked up when
the proper time arrives nnd collections
made.
Last year there were evidently many
such cases, ns some very large re
turns were made, particularly on tne
last day. The table below shows, the
number of points tho winning contest
ants brought In on the closing day,
and the position they secured;

At the close of the contest last year
only one contestant retained the po
sit Inn he hehl at the opening of the
day, and that was Charles Hodriguez,
who headed tho list. Some went up.
while other went down. One young
man went from tenth to llflh pluce,
while another went from fourth to
second. This year It Is absolutely Im
possible to l'oiecast tho result. The
contestants arc neatly all letlcent
when asked If they have many prom
ises for the closing day or week, nnd
It will be necessary to wait until Mon
day morning. September 2, befoie n
definite tesiilt can be known, as re
turns by mall might change the ap
parent winners on Saturday night.
What the Winners Will Receive.
Tho great value of the special re
wards that nre offered In The Trib
une's Educational Contest nre familiar
to all, nnd it is hardly necessary to
recall what Is at stake fr the young
men nnd women who are working t-o
earnestly for their educational ad
vancement. The scholarships In J.a
faetto College nnd Swarthmore Col
lege aro each valued at $1,000, nnd are
surely woith nil the effort that has
been put forth tinting the last four
months, no matter how tiresome nnd
discouraging. The State Normal
schools are advertising free tuition, but
that does not lessen the value of The
Tribune's offer of a three-year course
In the Stroudsburg school, as some of
the contestants aie inclined to believe.
The Tribune's offer not only Includes
tuition, but also room, board, heat,
light, books, laundty, and all other
necessary expenses. Several of the
contestants aro hovering around thltd
place nnd the winner Is sure t i;et a
scholatshlp valued at $7i, as The
Tribune advertises.
Those who fall to get In third place
or better have still something well
worth working for. Th five scholar
ships In tho Scranton Lui.ir.ess, College
anil the Scranton Conservatory of
Music are grand good offers In them
selves, as these Institutions aie lead
ers In this part of tho country. The
three scholarships offered Hi the Scran
ton Business' College mo really woith
more than the amount advertised, as
the price has recently been raised to
$7.", which makes them equal In value
with those in tho Conservatory of
Music.
Hesiiie nil these valiublo icwards,
those who fnll to get above nrth place
will receive ten per cent, of all the
money they have turned m to Tho
Tiibuno, which will amount to quite
a lespectable llgure. Those contest
ants who are now In the second table
should make every effort tc Increase
their points so that v-n U they ate
not able to get hUher tiny will receive
more money, as with the cli.so of The
contest this opportunity to work on
commission will be withdrawn. Do
your best this week nnd the elinncfs
nre that even yet you may h able to
get over tho line among the winners.
GARFIELD ANDERSON
JUMPS TO THIRD
He Passed Both Miles nnd Schwen-
ker on Saturday The Banner
Week of tho Contest.
A number of changes occurred In
the position of the leaders In The Trib
une's Educational contest nn Satur
day. Tho greateist took place when a
letter was received from (iarlleld An
derson, nf Carbondalo, enclosing sev-enty-efght
points, ho theieby going
from llfth to third place, displacing
Henry Schwenker and William Miles
from the places they have held. Mr.
Schwenker la In fourth place this
morning, the lowest position ho has
occupied thus far In tho contest, the
South Scranton young man now being
forty-seven points In the rear of the
Cnrbondnlean thlft morning, Mr. Miles
Is in fifth place, nineteen points be
hind Mr. Schwenker.
Tho other changes aro the ndvnnce
ment of Miss Wallls to thirteenth
place, and the dropping back of Mr.
Harris to fourteenth.
The week ended on Saturday night
was the banner week of the contest
thus far. During the week Mr. Ander
son returned the largest number of
points yet scored by any one contest
ant and on Saturday broke the rec
ord for the largest day'e work of any
one, Henry Schwenker nnd previously
held this record, with nlxty-thrro
points, but Mr. Anderson went him
fifteen better.
