LAWSUITS ARE
VERYLIKELY
COMPANY IS TO PROCEED
AGAINST STRIKERS.
Legal Steps to Be Taken to Recover
Property of the Company Now In
the Possession of the Striking
Employes Explanation lof the
Strikers' Reasons for Not Giving
It Up General Manager Sllllinnn
Declares the Company Needs No
Financlnl Aid.
Sultt against the street ear strikers
for the recovery of property of the
company which they have In their pos
session are among the probabilities.
Shortly after the strike was Inaugur
ated the coinpnny published a notice
calling on the men to return whatever
of the company's property they had
In their possession, such its punches,
ttansfers, switch turners nnd the like.
The men paid no heed to the notice.
Yesterday the company sent Its special
agent, Morgan Sweeney, among the
men to serve them personally with cop
ies of this notice, as the first step In
legal proceedings to recover the prop
erty. The first man who received one
of the notices spread the word as to
their contents and as a. consequence
the other men refused to accept them
when they were proferrcd,
This refusal Is in lino with a reso
lution, adopted by the strikers early
In the strike, which was that none of
the men should go to the ofllce to
draw their pay and that whatever
property ot the company the men had
possession of should bo retained. This
was for the purpose of preventing the
company from perfecting their dis
charge, and thereby causing them to
foifelt their interest In mutual benefit
association.
General Manager Sllllinan said yes
terday that a reasonable time would be
allowed the men to return the proiwrty
and if it was not returned In a rea
sonable time legal steps would be tak
en to compel them to return it.
STATHMRNT OF MEN.
The following statement was gln
out from strike headquarters Just night.
Jt deals mainly with the reason the
men are refusing to. give up the com
pany property:

HAD AN EFFECT.
It is quite generally believed here
that the Scranton strike hail an im
portant bearing on the failure of the
Philadelphia, street ear men to carry
out their threat to strike. General
Manager Sillinian said he felt assured
that It was the principal factor in pre
venting the Philadelphia strike. "With
their remembrance of their defeat two
years ago, and the ill success of the
Scranton strike, tlie Philadelphia men
concluded they had better bold off,"
said Mr. Sllllumn.
Air. Sllllinan was asked If It was true
lie had been supplied with a $-'.'.0,000
fund by other street railway companies
to help carry on the tight against the
strikers. He declined to make answer
further than to say that his company
did not need any outside assistance.
lie then went on to tell of extensive
improvements and repairs contem
plated among them, the welding of all
thu central city tracks by the new Lor
raine method which obliterates
joints and makes it track contin
uous, This latter Improvement was
decided upon yesterday. The company
Is also to spend $150,000 for new cars
nnd about as much more for relaying
tracks.
There me now twenty-three 'buses
plying regularly between tlie central
city and the suburbs and their own
ers are fairly coining money. One
team earned ?H0 in a week. The strik
ers claim that tlio company is nperat
liig only thirty-three cars and that it
now has less than 100 men In Its em
ploy. ltesulutloiis endorsing the strike and
guaranteeing support to the strikers
were received yesterday from .Mine
Woi Iters locals 1700, lfiOD and 10:!.", of
Forest city, fill of Mooslc, and 1740 of
Scranton.

TO LUMP APPROPRIATIONS.
Plan Adopted in Allegheny May So
Tried Here.
A iiiovetnnt It on foot, backed by
several counclhnen nii'l clly ulllcluls to
lump the npproprltitlons for each
bureau In the appropriation ordinance
for the next llscnl year.
This prhit has been lu opernllon in
Allegheny for years. Controller Howell
has received a copy of one of the Al
legheny (iprmiprlatlou ordinances nnd
It Is on llle In his olllee for the In
spection of tiny councilman who may
desire to look at it.
The present system of appropriating
money In this city provides for an
Itemizing of every single appropriation.
For example If a certain sum of mon
ey In appropriated for the bureau of
health, It Is Itemized lu the appropria
tion ordinance something as follows:
Salary of health olllcer, $1000; Inciden
tals, printing and stationary, $5o: sal
ary of crematory employes, t-AM', run
ning expenses of crematory, ?1000, etc.,
etc.
The advantage of appropriating the
money for each bureau In a lump sum
will be the doing away with the ne
cessity of transferring small balances
from one account lo another. At pres
ent If one account Is exhausted and a
balance remains In another It Is neces
sary to have an ordinance passed pro
viding for a transfer of this balunco
before It can bo touched, for any other
purpose than that for which It was
specifically appropriated. If the ap
propriation was lumped, the director
could use his discretion lu expending
It.
The lumping ot the appropriation
wojild not do away with the Itemizing
of the estimates, In order that councils
might see what the money was being
appropriated for.

association building, has been selected
as the architect of the new building
which the First National bank Is to
erect on the site of Its present building'.

ing; lltty-two feel in height nnd as long
anil wide as the present building. Jt

twenty feel long, ten feet wide and nine

$1.00 in Money Plucky Old Wo
mnn Worked Herself Free nnd
Wont to the Rescue of Her Son,
Who Was Nearly Suffocated.
Mrs. "Whistler" Willis, an aged
widow nearly !iu years old, but ns
plucky as If she was only a quarter that
age, was bound anil gagged by four
masked burglars who broke Into her
home In Scott township at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning ami succeeded final
ly lu getting all of a dollar and ninety
cents.
The burglars burst In the front door
and made direct for thu old lady's
room. They forcibly took hold of her
and, when she showed resistance,
handled her roughly. She was bound
nnd gagged and tied to the bed. The
burglars then entered the room of a
son of the aged woman, who was sleep
ing nearby.
They quickly overpowered him and,
after binding his hands, tied a pillow
over his face to prevent hint from mak
ing an outcry. They then ransacked
the house, but the only thing they
deemed worth taking Avns $1.90, which
they found lu a cupboard.
Now the ordinary woman of any age
would have been so thoroughly fright
ened that she would have been power
less to do anything If placed in Airs.
AVIUis' position. Not so with this old
lady of eighty-six, however. She
worked and worked nt the knol on her
hands, and, after an hour's patient
trial, succeeded in untieing It. She
then unfastened the gag anil the rest
of her fastenings and hastened -to her
son's room.
She quickly untied the pillow which
had been fastened over his head and
found him nearly suffocated. He was
unconscious and did not regain con
sciousness until .1 o'clock. AVhen he did
he raised the alarm, but the burglars
were nowhere to be seen.
Airs. AA'illls and her sou went lo Cir
bondale yesterday and secured the as
sistance of Ofllcer Mornn, who made
mi Investigation of the premises. Feel
ing runs high among the neighbors of
the AVillis' on. account of Airs. AVillis'
extreme age, and every effort is being
made to run down the perpetrators of
the outrage.
