ADMIT FAILURE
KEMMERER COMMITTEE ASKS
TO BE DISCHARGED.
Like All Its Predecessors the Second
Special Committee of the Board of
Trade Appointed to Sottle the
Strike Reports That It Has Ef
fected Nothing Board Declares
Against the Passage of the New
Franchise Ordinances In Their
Present Shape.
The regultir meelltig of the board of
track' during Ilia noon hour yesterday,
developed more than the usual round or
Important doings. The second special ,
committee appointed to settle the, j
swoet em Hirim- reiunieu iiuiurt; ami
was discharged: declarations were
made against the new street railway
franchises In their present form; olll- j
ours for the coining year were nomln- j
ated anil a motion requesting the!
members of Iho board to cease boy-1
cottlng the street car company went to
the table after some Interesting discus
sion, At the last meeting of tins board
when the special committee appointed
to settle the street car strike reported
that such ti thing was impossible of
accomplishment tit this time, .lohn II.
Kemmerer made the statement that If
the proper kind of a committee was
appointed the strike could be settled In
three hours. Forthwith, a member of
the old committee moved and the board
with equal alacrity decreed that Mr.
Kemmerer and two others should be
delegated as a committee to settle the
strike.
Yesterday Mr. Kennuerer's special
committee was called upon for a re
port. Mr. Kemmerer arose and after
explaining that his remarks at the pre
vious meeting were not intended its a
retlection on the preceding committee,
asked that his special committee be
discharged, as the work it had been
entrusted with was undertaken b.v a
committee of citizens before his com
mittee was In motion. The board, with
a subdued laugh, agreed to let the com
mittee off.
THH NKW IIAIIAVAY.
Under the head of now business, V.
H. Taylor brought up the matter of
the new railway franchises and sug
gested that ;i committee of three be
appointed to go before councils as rep
resentatives of the board and endeav
or to get the ordinances put in a shape
that would make them more favorable
to the city.
.1. Benjamin Dimmiek questioned the
wisdom of placing so much power in
ine nanus tu an uiiuiMrueieu commit
tee. The board had taken no position
in regard to the franchises and pos
sibly was not ready just at that time,
he said, to declare itself, lie believed
il would be better to hold a special
meeting in the course of a day or two
at which the matter could be thrashed '
out and the committee given definite
instructions.
Colonel 1 Ti. Hitchcock viewed the
matter in the same light us Mr. Dim-
nilcK. to adopt Mr. Taylors sugges
tion would be to create a committee
having no power or unlimited power,
Mr. Taylor again took the tloor and
explained that he would have this com
mittee protest against the franchises
being granted in their present sliaps.
The board is not concerned, he went on
to say, about the legal aspect of the
franchises. The city solicitor and oth
er municipal otllcers are .supposed to
look after that. The one vital ques
tion about which the board should be
concerned, Mr. Taylor thought, was
whether or not the city was to give
a large something for a little nothing.
OFFKUS NOTHING.
Tn the franchises, Mr. Taylor went
on to say the company offers nothing
specific except to pave between its
tracks on streets that the city will
hereafter pave. The city litis a right
to expect and demand more than this
for a grant of more than fifty miles of
its streets for railway purposes. The
franchise ordinances are in line to pass
second and third readings In common
council next Thursday night. Some
action, he said, should be taken at
once to protest against the ordinances
In their present form. If not prepared
to act thou, the board could meet to- i
day or tomorrow, he said, to trash out
the question,
Mr, Dimmiek agreed with Mr. Tay
lor thai the city should receive si sub
stantial price for the franchises and
favored Mr, Taylor's suggestion.
'1'. H. Dale put an end to the dis
cussion by introducing a resolution de
claring that the board protested
against the passage of the ordinances
in their present shape: that It was
against the granting of franchises in
perpetuity; that no franchise should be
granted without a valuable considera
tion and that it committee of three be
appointed to urge the board's views on
councils. The resolution was unani
mously adopted,
When nominations of odieers were
announced to be In order, Captain
A. May nominated President .1, A.
Lansing to succeed himself, and a mo
tion to close the nominations was tun
by Secretary Athertou and unani
mously carried, before President
l.uuslurv could make himself heard,
A OAKS' ST TIllUD TK11M.
When ho llntilly commanded atten
tion he said that while he felt highly
hemmed by being nominated for a third
term la the face of the unwritten law
against giving a president more than
two terms, he would have to decline
the nomination, being (Irmly convinced
that It was for the best Interests of the
hoard that he should nut accept the
nomination for a third term. "My pos
ition In this Is absolutely unchange
able," air. Lansing djclared In conclu
sion. Vlco President A, Dickson ex
pressed regret that Mr. Lansing had
made this closing declaration. Any
thing that passes us unwritten law
In cither places, said he, does not ob
tain here, and if a majority of the
board wants Mr, Lansing to nccept a
third term hu should consent to serve,
Captain May declared that the mem
bers were the best able to Judge wheth
er or not Mr. Lansing's continuance
la olllco was for the best Interests of
the board. An emergency demanding
Mr, Lansing's continuance in olllce
wipes out any precedent or unwritten
law that there may seem to ha existing
against a third term. It would be dis
astrous to make a change at this time,
Captain May believed, and he would
favor going so far as to Ignore Mr.
Lansing's declaration and elect him
In spite of himself,
Mr, Lansing. said he realized the high
honor of the olllco and that he desired
'$$l'$MtPl V$ V'"'' - '
iJf&ft dtemLw Jfcj- - ,tM -
to (lit it, but It wns his best judgment
that the Interests of the board de
manded ho should not stand for a third
term. As much as lie desired to till
the honored olllco of president of the
board of trade lie would have to posi
tively decline to servo a third term.
MIL DICKSON' NAMUD.
Luther Keller, ufter mentioning the
close relationship of himself tmil Mr.
Lansing In board of tratle matters, said
he agreed with Mr. Lansing's views re
garding the advisability of his inking
a third term. He Is prompted by the
very highest motives, Mr. Keller as
sured the board, and It was duo him to
accept his declination,
Cornelius Comegys nominated Con
rad Schroeder, Mr. Kchroeder de
clined, saying he could not give the
olllco the attention It demands. Jos
eph Levy and T. II. Dale both arose
at the same time to nominate A. ".
Dickson. Mr. Levy was first with the
nomination and .Mr. Dale seconded It,
Tlie board at oner practically elected
Mr, Dickson hy closing the nomina
tions. Other nominations were made us fol
lows: For vice, president, John T. Porter
and V. 11. Taylor; for treasurer, Jos
eph Levy: for secretary, Dolph U. Ath

The elections will take place at the
next regular meeting.
As the meeting was bearing a close.
!:. S. Williams called attention to the
fact that the board at Its last meet
ing had agreed by resolution to take
legal steps against boycotting. Then
In measured tones Mr. Williams moved
!,... .l.n .,..., I, ,... ..f ,1... lw,.t...t .f I.,.1a '
IMIII lilt llll'lll'IVI .s I't Lin ijuiii M ... iit.'.v:
cense boycotting the Hcranton Hall
way company.
W. II. Taylor objected to the adop
tion of this motion on the ground that
it would be doing what the board had
persistently tried to avoid, namely,
taking sides. He moved to lay the
mutton on the table.
NOT ROVrOTTIN'C.
F. L. Wormser, director of public
safety, thought the motion was out of
older. The board, lie said, had not boy
cotted the railway company, and to ac
cept Mr. Williams' motion would be
an admission on the part of the board
that it had boycotted the railway com
pany. President Lansing smoothed over Mr.
AVormser's objection by ruling that a
motion to table was not debatable, and
by making the suggestion that Mr,
Williams' motion was merely a rec
ommendation and curried no inference
with it.
The motion to table was adopted
with only a. lew voices heard against
it.
Charles West. TI. A. Kaufhold and It.
K. Comegys were elected to the board,
and H. P. Passmore was placed in
nomination for membership.
A letter was read from the- Philadel
phia Commercial Museums calling at
tention to the proposition of the
Frcn.'h government to establish here
a M'hool fur the education of graduates
of the French commercial schools In
the ways and means by which the
Yankee attains supremacy In industrial
and commercial lines, and asking for
a'i c.i rcnium of opinion on the pro
priety tl-euof. It was referred to the
ii.miii '.''inlets' committee.
At th" conclusion of the meeting the
members en.lcyed a luncheon In the
assembly looms. It was served by
Uanley.
$500 REWARD.
Pursuant to a joint resolution of

BOROUGH OFFICE IS TO BE
ABOLISHED.
A Consolidation with the Scranton
Offlco Is to Be Effected on Febru
ary, 1 by Order of First Assistant
Postmaster-General The Present
Postmaster, Marcus BlBhop, to Bo
Retained In Charge of Sub-station
and Four Additional Carriers to
Be Appointed.
Postmaster Knt II. Hippie yester
day received word from First Assist
ant Postmaster Oenera! W. M. John
son that the department has decided,
after due consideration, to consoli
date the Dunmore and Hcranton post
olllccs on and after February 1.
The communication sets forth that
the Dlimnoro postolllce Is to be abol
ished and that It will be made a sub
station ot the Hcranton olllce. This
means, of course, thai the free delivery
system Is to be extended to Dunmore,
the assistant postmaster general stat
ing that four additional regular car
riers arc to be allowed. This extension
of the free delivery to Dunmore was
obtained through the earnest efforts of
Congressman Connell.
Tlie present postmaster of Dunmore,
Marcus Bishop, is to lie retained as
superintendent of the Dunmore sub
station, and will be allowed the ser
vices of one clerk. The present quar
ters occupied by the borough post
olllce arc to be retained for use as a
sub-station, and the allowance for
rent, fuel and light will remain the
same as at present.
The order authorizing the appoint
ment of the four additional carriers
will be received in a few days, and it
Is understood that Postmaster Hippie,
in making the appointments, will
choose carriers who live either In
Dunmore or Its Immediate vicinity, so
that they will not be Inconvenienced,
Just as the carriers for the West
Hcranton sub-atatloa were idiosen
from among those living In that part
of the city.
The Dunmore mail, under present
arrangements, is received at the
Hcranton main office and from there
sent to the Dunmore olllce, so that no
change In this respect is anticipated.
The decision of the department regard
ing tlie consolidation is believed by till
who have given the matter concern, to
be the best means of extending the
free delivery system to the borough.
