MAY HAVE BASE BALL
HERE NEXT SEASON
A. W. Lawson Says Scranton Will
Have a Team in the Proposed
Eastern Association.
If the Knsteru Ujirc Hall fsociatlon.
which now exists in the minds of a few
Jjan- ball muKiiutcs, becomes an actual
lcallly, Scraulou will have a base ball
team next year that Is, of course, as-sumine-
that A. YV. Lawson, or I'hila
ilelphla, is tolling the truth.
Jlr. Lawson, who is one of the base
ball men who are promoting: the new
league, arrived in the city on Saturday
nlshl, for tho purpose of "lookhiR over
tho Held," as be expresses it. Ho has
been Identified with base ball for llfteen
years, havinp been a player in bis
younger days and manager of late
years. He wan president of tho Penn
sylvania. State league last year, and
managed the Kaston team, which won
tin; pennant.
In an interview with a Tribune man
last night, he explained that plans for
the organization of the Eastern Base
Ball association have been nearly com
pleted and that as soon as assurances
arc received from two or three more
cities a permanent organization will bo
effected.
It is proposed to have tho following
eight cities included in the association:
Scr.mlon, Newark, Patersoii, Trenton,
Wilmington, Heading, Lancaster and
"Wllkes-Baive. Mr. Lawson himself Is
the main promoter of tho scheme: and
associated with him are "the following
base ball men: J. AY. Dobbins, owner
of this year's Independent Newark
team; Abbot 'Whitman and Krnest
Lanilgraf, owncis of last year's Read
ing State league team, and Jesse M.
Fryslnger, manager of the Wilmington,
Del., independent team.
"Do you think you will succeed In in
teresting local capitalists in the Idea of
a bate ball team for this city'.'" ven
tured Tlie Tribune man, as he thought
of the ill-starred and unsuccessful
tennis which have been organized in
recent years.
"Well, I'll try my best," replied Jlr.
Lawson, and then in a careless way:
'Iff can't inicrcst any local men, I'm
prepared to finance a leant on my own
hook. I feel Unit a base ball team will
pay in this city, if II Is properly man
aged and In a good, fast league, such
ns we liiopose lo make the Eastern
Base Hull association. I'm not at all
discouraged by failures in the past. I'm
not lli.it sou of a i haii. I'll look over
the ground for a few days, and then
can say something mote definite. You
can say, though, that if thin league In
loriued, Scranton will have a team In
it."
GAVE WRONG IMPRESSION.
Mr. Turner's Side of the Story of
the Seized Milk Cans.
The article in the local papers con
cerning tlie seizure by the Ablngton
Dairy company of milk cans hi tho
possession of Dairyman Al. Turner, of
Jtu'kson slreei tended, by reason of
their brevity, ut give the impression
that Mr. Turner had surreptitiously
possessed himself of tho cans,
The fact of llm mailer, as told by
Mr. Turner, is that the cans, six In
number, were being used at tho Jack
son stieet dairy when it was controlled
by the Ablngton Dairy company of
v.hlch Mr. Turner was n member,
i 'ans that belonged to lilm personally
wero being used by tho company.
When the company dissolved ho
bought the Jackson stieet depot with
tho underslauding that hu was to have
the use of mieh of tho company's cans
as wero there until ho wan ready to
turn them over. The action of former
olllcers of the company in seizing was
prompted by u desire to harass and
worry him, Mr. Tinner says.

MENTION OF
MENJjf HOUR
S. E. WAYLAND'S NEW POSITION
IN TELEPHONE WORLD.
He Is General Manngor of the Big
Consolidated Telephone Company
of Pennsylvania Hon. A. N. Ad
ams of Fail-ham, Vt,, Is in the
City Big Task He Has Sot Before
Himself Charles B. Stevens the
New Treasurer of the Academy of
Music.
When S. !:. Wnyhind ih-it came lo
thin region to introduce u now tele
phono system, a story wan put forth by
tho opposition lobbyists that ho was
fresh from u mercantile life lu the west,
knew nothing of the telephone business
and thereforo not competent to run
a telephone company. Mr. Wayland
smiled, Ho was twice defeated In bin
efforts to secure u franchise, but all
undaunted kept hammering away and
finally succeeded, Tho Lackawanna
Telephone company was organized, Its
system lnf.tftlled and its business opened
up by Jlr. Wayland. He wan at the
sumo time the lock, stock and barrel of
the People's Telephone company, of
Wllkes-llurre. While attending to these
two companies, ho incidentally busied
himself about the formation of thu In
terstate Telephone company, u long dis
tance system connecting up the Inde
pendent companies In Eastern Pennsyl
vania. Having seen these cnterptises suc
cessfully launched, ho set about Hie
task of consolidating tho independent
companies. Just what part ho played
in tills docs not appear, but, be that as
it may, the companies wero consoli
dated ia u $6,000,000 concern, and last
Friday, when they came together at
Allentown to organize, Jlr. Weyland
was elected general manager.
Tho new combine is known as the
Consolidated Telephone company of
Pennsylvania. In it arc merged the in
dependent companies of Lackawanna,
Luzerne, part of Schuylkill, Lehigh,
Jlonroe, Berks, Bucks and Montgomery
counties, and negotiations are under
way for the purchase of otheis. The
olllcers of tlio company are: President,
lloberl E. Wright, of Allentown; secre
tary and general manager, S. E, Wey
land, of Scranton; treasurer, t JI. W.
Keck, of Allentown; executive commit
tee, P.obcrt E. Wright, of Allentown;
Oeorgo II. Bedford, of Wilkes-Barre;
W. L. Council, of Scranton; George O.
Albright, of Allentown, and C. W.
Kline, of Hazleton. Among tho direc
tors are W. L. Council, S. E. AVayland
and W. J. Lewis, of this city, and
George Jt. Bedford, of Wilkes-Barre.
Scranton has now within her borders
a man who bus undertaken n Hercu
lean task. Ho is Hon. A. IS". Adams, of
Fairhaven, A"t who is visiting his son-in-law,
George B. Jcruiyn. Jlr. Adams'
task is nothing less than the writing of
tho genealogy of the Adams family.
Itecenlly ho completed a history of tho
Adams family in America, after ten
years of labor. So thoroughly and in
terestingly was the work done that tho
Adamses one and all joined in a de
mand upon him to extend tlio work by
adding a genealogy of tlie family be
fore its coming to America. Despite
the fact that the Adamses aio tlto old
est family on earth, ho agreed to make
the effort and is now engaged on the
work.
Jlr. Adams is T years of age, but
physically and intellectually is still as
virile as he was in middle age. He
made a fortune in granite and some
years ago retired to pursue exclusively
a literary life. He was state senator In
Vermont for three terms, and is a close
personal and iiolitical friend of Sen
ator Proctor. He is prominent in the
New England society and nn olllcer of
the Now England Historical society,
which has liendqunrlots in Boston. Jlr.
Adams' branch of tlie Adams family is
that which gave to tlie country tho two
piesldenls of that name.
One or the first things Jlr. Adams did
on coming to Scranton was to look in
the ilbcctory for the Adamses. He
found twenty-two of them. He said he
pioposed in see I hem all before he went
away.
Cli.it les B. Ptevens. or "Chick" Stev
ens, as he is popularly called, who was
recently appointed treasurer of tlie
Academy of JIusIc, and who has charge
of that theatre under Manager A. J.
Duffy, is about as well posted on mat
lets theatrical as any man lu thin city
and it lias always been a source of
wonder to his many friends that he
never before took up the thealileal
business as a profession.
Mr. Stevens bus been one of the
most anient theatre-goers in town for
years and his ability as a dramatic
critic of keen perception and of good
judgment has long been lecognlzed,
Ho has acted as local ivmescntutlvo.
of tho New York Dramatic Mirror for
several yen is and has done some lit
tle dramatic work nn local uewnpap
eis. He bar. cpilte a reputation, also,
as a humorist and his series of letters
signed "The Lightning Hod Jian"
which appeared recently In Tho Tri
bune were widely read and favorably
commented upon. He Is also an ar
tist of ability and many of bis sketches
iiiu excellent, lu addition to his other
talents, Mr, Slovens is moving that
he in possessed of executive ability of
no mean order by his busluess-liko
conduct of Iho atfalrs of the academy.

RAISE IN WATER RATES.
It Will Affect Every Householder in
the City of Scranton,
In the advertising columns of this
morning's Tribune the Scranton Gas
and Water company gives notice of an
advance In lis watei1 rates for dwell
ings. For a house occupied by one family,
where the uitc was $(! per annum, It Is
lo be $s. For a single house occupied
by mote than one family, $G for the ilrst
family wan thu charge, but ttirdor thu
new rate It will bo $S. Each extra fam
ily In a single house Is to bo charged for
ut tho rate or $, Instead of ?.", as at
present.
Tho Increased rates tire to ro Into ef
fect January I, 1U0J, or three months In
iidvttnco or the datu on which will be
come operative the licence tax ordi
nance, Imposing a tax of live per cent,
for municipal purposes on the gross re
ceipts of gas and water companies.
Tills ordlnanco Is alleged to be defect
ive, because It attempts to levy a tax
for use In Scranton on all llm receipts
of publlo service companies, without re
gard lo whether or not they are col
lected for service performed within the
city limits. The Culpln ordinance, in
troduced at last Thursday'! meeting of
common council, essays to cure this de
fect by limiting the tax to revenues
derived for service performed within
the city. The Culpln ordinance, It Is
generally believed, can be enforced.
ANOTHER THEATRE
FOR ELECTRIC CITY
Old Thirteenth Regiment Armory to
Be Rebuilt and Made the Home
of High-Class Vaudeville.
If present plans ifo not miscarry,
Scrontonlans will witness the opening
of a fourth theater hero next Wash
ington's Birthday.
The old armory, on Adams avenue, is
to be transformed Into an up-to-date
play-bouse, at mi expense of $,",0,000,
nnd Henry Dixie, well known locally
and generally as a successful manager,

opening, only one foot narrower than
that of the Lyceum.
Jlr. Dixie lias interested tome of
Serauton's most lepresentativo men in
the enterprise, assuring it of unlimited
backing. A long lease, with the privi
lege of purchase at any time, has been
secured from the City Guard associa
tion. It will be known ns Dixie's theater.
Jlr. Dixie will give to it bis personal
direction, to tlie exclusion of various
of ills other ventures. That ho is a
capable man to give Scranton what is
promised in this new enterprise can be
judged from a glance at his career.
He was a member of tho original
Boston Ideals: for thirty years he was
with tlie Alice Oates company as
comedian, stage manager, business
manager or musical director; he was
stage manager at the Philadelphia. Ca
sino Tor two seasons, and at one time
