AFTER DANCE HALLS TOO
Polico Will Insist That Conditions
Be "Toned Down" Very Consid
erablyWomen Anested.
It fan be stated on very good au
thority that the movement which the
police department has Inaugurated
against the saloons with disorderly
buck rooms and "ladles' parlors" Is to
ba extended to include certain balls In
the central part of the city In which
cheap dances aie condurted.
Superintendent Day Is determined
that the conditions which prevail in
certain of these balls must be toned
down(very considerably If they are to
be kept open during the rest of the
winter. He believes that he would be
fully justified in raiding- these dance
balls as disorderly bouses because of
the large percentage of Immoral wom
en who continually frequent them.
Another thing- which the police pro
pose to stop is the maintaining or bars
In dance halls. The bars In the largest
of these halls Is conducted under the
license of a saloon underneath. It Is
held that this Is a direct violation' of
the law and that the couits have de
cided on more than one occasion that
only one bar can be conducted under
one license.
A well known alderman in discuss
ing this question yesterday with a Tri
bune man said that the continued fre
quenting of a saloon or dance hall by
Immoral women rendered that place a
disorderly house.
"I would not hesitate a moment,"
said he, "to hold a saloonkeeper to
ball if it could be proven that bad
women frequent bis saloon and ate
continually present in his back room."
Five more women were arrested at
an early hour yesterday morninp for
street walking. They were all return
ing from one of the balls mentioned
above and several of them were intox
icated. They all gave fictitious names
and were lined $5 each.

Many Conditions That. President
Calpln Calls It a Bluff Referred
to Committee W. H. Taylor An
nounced That He Succeeded in
OtetthiE the Scranton Railway
Company to Agree to n Tax Wlnoh
Will Rsach Five Per Cent, in 1017.
Certain individuals, names unknown,
last night presented to the common
round! an offer of $100,UUU for the fran
chise rights coiilulued In the ordl
nnncNH now pending, conditioned upon
councils agreeing to wait a year and
a half, upon the said Individuals' abil
ity to stcure charters nt the end of
Hint time and upon council's willing
ness to agree to a forfeiture of the
sum of jn.OOO In case these persons
full to curry out their agreement.
The above mentioned petition wus
referred to committee. W. H. Taylor
wus given the lloor and read a letter
from Piesldcnt Clark, of the Scran
ton Railway company. In which be
said that the company would agree to
pay a tax of five per cent, in 11)17. Mr.
Taylor thought this a very good thing
and said so, whereat President Calpln
proceeded to show that It wasn't at all
and Incidentally to "take a fall out" of
Mr. Taylor.
The petition offeilng $100,000 for the
franchises under certain conditions
was read early In the night by Clerk
Lynott and was referred to the rail
way's committee. It read as follows:
Scranton. Pa., Dec. 28. 1901.
Hon. W. L. Connell. Recorder, and the
Select and Common Councils.
Gentlemen: Referring to (lies Nos. 19,
50 and 51, ordinances of the common
council, which are ordinances gi ant
ing permission to the South Side, North
End and West Knd Street Railway
companies, respectively, to lay their
tracks, erect poles and wires and oper
ate their road on certain streets and
avenues within the city limits, the
undersigned have the honor to say:
That they, with their associates, pro
pose to apply to the governor of the
commonwealth for charters covering
the principal streets and avenues of the
city of Scranton. Immediately after
said charter ihall have been granted,
we propose to make application to the
councils of the cltv of Scranton foi
franchises and privileges to carry out
the mirnoses of said corporations: anr1
we further state that when such appli
cation Is made to the city for the fran
chises and privileges referred to, wc
propose to offer the city of Scranton
the sum of $100,000 for said franchises
and privileges. In addition to submit
ting to all the requirements as set forth
In the above ordinances, amended De
cember 26, 1901.
As an evidence of our good faith, we
hciewith enclose a certified check hi tin
amount ol" $5,000, payable to the city of
Scranton, which said sum may be con
sidered as a forfeit, should we fall to
cniry out the above arrangement, con
ditional onlv u;ion the fact that we
shall, on. or befoie June 8, 1903, be
gianteil the charter Jjj the governor of
the commonwealth, sis above set foilh,
V. J. Fitzsimmons
Attorney for Petltloncis.
BELIEVED IT WORTHLESS.
Mr, Keller called up the ordinance
awarding a franchise to the West End
Street Railway company and stated
before asking unanimous consent lor
Mr. Taylor lo address the council,
that ho would later move to postpone
action because of a desire to give con
s'deratlon to the $100,000 offer.
"I don't believe it's worth the paper
it'n written on," said he, "but it ought
to be considered. This paper should
be brought In here In a straightfor
ward manner and signed by the per
sons who are making this offer."
W. H. Taylor was given the floor by
unanimous consent and he proceeded
to outline briefly the reasons for the
appointment of the board cf trade
committee and the work which that
committee has accomplished. He stat
ed that when he learned that the pro
moters of the new street railways were
willing to pay a tax on their grobs
receipts he thought the Scranton Rail
way company should do so too.
He accordingly waited upon Presi
dent C. M. Clark and proposed that
the company agree to a tax on Its
gross receipts as had the new street
railway companies. Mr. Clark, he
said, explained that, the Scranton Rail
way company stockholders had never
been paid any dividends, that the road
has never paid and that the company
couldn't agree to pay such a tax. Mr.
Clarke said, according to Mr. Taylor,
that the Scranton Railway company
hud done a great deal for the city and
had expended nnd proposes to expend
huge sums of money here.
Ml. Taylor said that President
Clark agreed to consider the matter,
and then produced from his pocket a
letter which he (Mr, Taylor) received
yesterday in which the company agrees
to pay certain taxes under certain lim
itations. He read this letter, which Is
us follows:
COMPANY'S OFFER.

Mr. W. II, Taylor, 3:!2 Madison avenue,
Scranton, 1'a.
Dear Sir: i a result of the l event
conferences held with you, tho Scran

ing the past year throughout this com
munity, as well as elsewhere through
out the country, of a strong public sen
timent In favor of the public franchise

corporations bearing a tarno pioportlon
of the municipal taxation. An explained
to you, there have been reasons In the
past, which also apply to the present
and the near future, which have made
and still make It Impossible for Hie
ricratiton Railway company to Increase
ts burden of taxation until the reasons
referred to are no longer In force.
Wo fully appreciate, however, that
the strong public sentiment referred to
must be recognized and met by our
company to as gieat an extent nntl un
soon as the earning power of our com
pany will enable It to do so. The con
ditions which have surrounded our com
pany during the past, present condi
tions, and the prospects of the future,
were cleat ly explained to you, and any
sources of Information within our reach
are offered to you for verlllcatlon of
the statements which we have made to
you, ns to what this company has done
In the past, Is still doing, and proposes
to do for the city of Scranton, and also
as to the methods by which we have ar
ilved nl the amount of taxation which
the estimated futtlie earning power of
the company will enable It to pay to
the city,
We now desire to make voluntailly,
through you, til the municipal attthoi -itles
of the city of Scianton, the fol
lowing proposition:
First That the Scranton Railway
company will agree to pay to the city
the following percentages per annum
upon the gross earnings of all of Its
lines operated within the city limits,
beginning- with the year 1901:
1901 1 per cent.

Second That the' above percentages
on our gross earnings are to be in lieu
of all taxation or licenses of any kind
by the municipality upon the property,
or earnings of the company, or othet
wlse. Third That the ordinance already
passed by the city authorities, ci eating
a tax of o per cent, upon the earnings
of this company, shall be rescinded.
Fourth That ordinances shall be
passed covering taxation in accordance
with the above proposition, In such
form as shall be agreed upon between
the city solicitor and the counsel ot
this company.
In conclusion, we desire to say that
we have done our utmost in this mat
ter, to consider this question In the
right spirit of fairness and justice, and
have gone as far as we eoulil consci
entiously, to meet your views, the ex
treme limit of S per cent, being reached
In the above rising scale of taxation,
notwithstanding the fact, that as far as
our knowledge goes, there is not a city
under 200,000 population, and very few
of any size In the United States, where
any such rates of taxation are imposed,
Very truly yours,
Scranton Railway Company,
By U. M. Clark, Piesldent.
With the remark that the Scranton
Railway company had started tho new
year very promisingly. Mr. Taylor took
his seat in the rear of the council
chumber.
Mr. Keller remarked that he thought
the offer of the railway company was
worthy of careful consideration anil
was followed by President Calpln. who
had lire in his eye and who looked "all
manner of things."
"I wnnt to tell you, gentlemen," said
he, "Hint I for one am not at all im
pressed with the offer of the Scranton
Railway company. I am not a bit sur
prised that at this late day Us utilcets
should be attacked with a spasm o'.
virtue and should begin to make i
m-nnil ritand nla.v. This offer Isn't
worth a snap of my finger. Just see
how generous they are. They'll pay
us all of 5 per cent. In 1917. ThcyT
pay that much long before that time II
wo have nay kind of decent legislation
"If this other offer of $100,000 Is maJi
In good faith and is ronn tide It will
have my hearty support, but If It ti
clothed In technicalities and has .
string attached, as It .tppears, I say 1
am not In favor of It, I don't hesltato
to say that tho forfeiture of ?5,U0
would be the best Investment the Scran
ton Hallway company ever made If it
can tie up these ordinances for twi
years and keep out this new enterprise,
"Wo don't want any sand thrown in
our eyes. If these people, who evci
they are, are sincere lot them submit
an otfer In Una with w nut they say, 1
can't help referring to the offer of the
Scranton Railway company again, It'
an Insult to this council, that's wha
It is, and 1 am surprised to see a tup
resenlutlvu of tho board of trude np
pearlng as an apologist fop WiIb com
pany, I'm surprised to see him coming
In hero with a proposition like this at
this particular time, It's altogether
wrong, I owe the company no apologj
and can speak as I feel,"
Loud applause from nearly over
member present greeted Piesldent Cal
pin's speech. Mr. Taylor had bee
chafing nervously in the back of the
room while President Calpln was talk
Ing and when the latter had concluded,
asked to be given the privilege of the
door nnaln to make leply, The motion
was put and lost by an overwhelming
vote of twenty-nlno to eight.
Action on the West End ordlnane
was then postponed until next Thurs
day night.

By HxcliWtr Wire from l lie Awaclateil 1'ic.u.
Harrlsburg, Jan. 2. Counsel for Dan

plication to Attorney (leneral Elkln to
day for a writ of quo warranto lo cite
the Valley Passenger Railway com
pany, of Scran ton, to show cause why
Its charter should not bo forfeited.
It Is alleged that the company, char
tered In 1S92. has not built Its line, unit
has not done any work whatever on the
new road. The Scranton councils have
already forfeited the right given the
company to occupy the streets. Thl,3
matter will be argued on January 13.

"In common with many other per

.Scranton Railway company is occupy
ing streets it has no right to and claim
lug the right to occupy others. If wc
had these streets to offer now wc could
dispose of them to advantage to tin
city in many' ways. Tliey are valuabl'
for street railway purposes, are these
streets, and if the Valley company
has no right to them why It ought nol
to be allowed to occupy them.
"The Valley company was granted
certain rights by the councils of Scran
ton which It did not take advantage of
It never built a continuous road, a:
the law says it must, or rather tin
Scranton Railway company to wbicl
It disposed of its inteiests did not. Tin
only lines ever built by the Valley com
pany were short pieces connecting up
old lines of the Scranton Railway com
pany. "To nnd out just what the rights ot

may know how to act in the premise!
I have begun proceedings at Harrls

Mary Slavlch on New Year's day, but
the wedding has been declared off, on
account of the street car strike.
it all happened In this way: Mary is
a foreigner, who has not been In the
country very long, and knows little
about street car strikes and boycotts.
She came to Scianton to select her
wedding gown and she rode on a street
car.
She returned to the natch In safety,
and thought nothing of what she had
done until it became noised about that
Mary had patronized the trolley Hue.
This caused a bitter feeling to pervade
the neighborhood against her and a
boycott was the result, and Mary found
herself ostracized. When the full mean
ing of the thing dawned upon her,
Mary straightway sought her lover,
and confided to him her tale of woe.
Instead of sympathizing with her,
John forthwith declared the wedding
off, and all efforts at conciliation, arbi
tration and adiustinent were Ineffect
ive. Mary was placed on the unfair list,
so far as he Is concerned. She vows
the next man she becomes engaged to
will not be a member of any union.
John is a member of one of the locals
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica. Removal Notice.
