DISOKDlittLY HOtTSM CASES.
The cases In which four altered
keepers of disorderly houses In the
Eighth ward are charged by Constable
W. II. Thomas with selling liquor with
out a license were put over till the next
term. Mr. Thomas reported to the
district attorney that his witnesses
could not be gotten In time.
Commenting on the Jurys condemna
tion of the practice of sending In cases
which nro .ot sustained by evidence,
Judge Edwards said that the law and
not the magistrates were likely at fault
In moat Instances. The law permits
that a defendant can go before any
magistrate to give ball. When this law
Is taken advantage of the magistrate
who Issues the warrant has no means
of ascertaining the merits of the
charge, ns thcro Is no hearing. His
only duty la to send In a transcript.
"The magistrates have enough sins
to answer for," said Judge Edwards,
"without calling on them to answer for
the sins of the law."
WHEN IS TAX DUE?
City Treasurer Wants Public Service
Companies to Pay for Year End
ing June 1 The Other View.
City Treasurer Robinson is sending
out to the presidents of the public ser
vice corporations of this city requests
for a detailed statement of the gross
earnings of said companies for the
year which will end on June 1 next.
His object in so doing Is to secure a
basis for the collection of the license
tax provided by the ordinance passed
by councils and approved by Record
er Connoll yesterday afternoon. The
city treasurer believes that by the
terms of the ordinance he can col
lect thlfe tax for the year ending on
June 1, next, but not everyone holds
this view.
The ordinance provides that such
companies "shall furnish to the city
treasurer a statement showing the
amount of business done for the year
ending Juno 1, before the payment of
the license tax shall become due and
payable, and the first of June in every
year thereafter, verified by affidavit,
and the license fees collected by the
city treasurer shall be based upon said
return, etc." Tho last section of the
ordinance reads: "TI1I1 ordinance shall
take effect on and after the first Mon
day in April. 1902."
The city treasurer contends that this
last section gives him full authority
and power, In fact makes it incumbent
upon him, to proceed to ask for a
statement of the gross earnings of the
several companies for the year ending
this coming June 1, and collect a tax
on said earnings.
It Is contended on thf other hand
that the very fact that the ordinance
did not go Into effect until April 1 last
prevents the collection of a tax on any
monies earned before that time or In
other words It Is held that the ordi
nance Is not retroactive. Those who
hold this view contend that it may be
possible to collect a tax for the two
months ending June 1, but for no fur
ther back.
It is as good as certain, leaving en
tirely aside the question of Just when
the ordinance goes Into effect, that the
companies will entirely ignore the
treasurer's request for Information re
garding their gross receipts and will
force the city into court if she wants
to collect the tax.

Plans have been made for the build
ing of a 200x40 foot addition to the
Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western
machine shops In this city, ami work
will be commenced thereon as soon as
possible.
The suspension of operations at the
mines has not affected the shops as
yet, because there Is a laige- amount of
lepalr work to be done on rolling stock,
both in the motive power and car re
pairing departments, that will take
much time.
Work on the addition to the new
round house Is progressing rapidly, and
when it is completed will prove of great
help to the company in hou&ing- the
large engines.
The voluntary increase in wages
granted workmen In tho motive power
department of the Lackawanna rail
road also applies to many men In the
car shops. The aveiugc inci oa.se to all
men raised amounts to 10 95-100 per
cent.
The Scranton Car Foremen's abso
ciatlon met recently and discussed the
questions of "How can we educate our
shop foremen" and "What is the cause
of excessive flange work." The asso
ciation has grown in membership from
fifty-four to one hundred and sixty-six
In four months. The next meeting of
tho association will be held on the
second Saturday In September.
The fiues.tion of the location of new
shops is yet undecided, and there is
nothing to be learned, as yet, regarding
them.

person who Is a subscriber to The Tribune for one year each for the small sum of $1.25,
Cosmopolitan Magazine (one year) $1.00
Woman's Home Companion (one year) 1.00
$2.00
The Tribune Offers the Two for $1.25
Everybody buys one or' more magazines each month probably a great many of The Trib
une's readers are buying one or both of these, as they are among the leading and most popular of lit
erary publications. This offer gives you an opportunity to save seventy-five cents, simply becaus
you are a subscriber to The Tribune.
To Paid-lip Subscribers
1 The Tribune places only one restriction on this offer. A subscriber's subscription must be
paid to the current month, as It would be manifestly unfair to expect The Tribune to forward sub
scription money to these' publications while The Tribune's account remains unpaid.
A subscriber whoso subscription is paid has but to hand $1.25 to The Tribune and he will
roce've the two magazines each month for one year. ' i
To Non-Subscribers
You' can avail yourself of this offer by simply ordering The Tribune, to bo paid for at the
regular rate of 50 cents per month. You can then secure the two magazines by paying $1.25.
To Subscribers Who Wish
To Pay for The Tribune in Advance
You can save a lot of money by paying for The Tribune in advance. If you have
been paying by the month or at the end of the year, and wish to pay for The Tribune a year in ad
vance, you can get The Tribune, The Cosmopolitan and the Woman's Home Companion, each for
one year, for $6.25, just 25 cents more than you have been paying for The Tribune alone.
To Contestants in The Tribune's Educational Contest
You should explain this liberal offer to those you ask to subscribe for The Tribune. If they
will pay you $1.25 in addition to the price of The Tribune they will receive these two magazines
one year. Sample copies of the magazines will be furnished you free. Here are the prices, iwhere
The Tribune subscription is paid in advance :
The Tribune one month and the magazines one year $1.75
The Tribune three months and the magazines one year 2.50
The Tribune six months and the magazines one year 3.75
The Tribune one year and the magazines one year 6.25
Those wishing to take advantage of this offer should hand their money to The Tribune at

the subscription is received.
