MADE THE SEAT
OF NEW COURT
ANOTHER BIG ACHIEVEMENT OF
MB,. CONNELL.
Instead of Having Three Headquar
ters, the United States) Court of the
Middle Pennsylvania District Has
All Its Business Centered in One
Placo and That Place Is Scranton.
Bill Was Signed Tuesday by Presi
dent Boosovelt What the Change
Means to Scranton.
One of tho bills signed by President
Roosevelt, ns tho fifty-seventh congress
wns expiring, makes Scranton tho scut
of tho United States court of th6 Middle
Pennsylvania district for nil time.
No matter who may bo the judge, or
the circuit or district court clerks, or
where their residence limy be, Jhoy
must make Scranton their headquar
ters. All the records must be kept here
nnd all matters with which tho court
shall deal must be uttended to from
this city, -vso-w
Heretofore tho court had no seat, or
more correctly speaking it had three
splits, Scranton, Harrlsburg nnd Wlll
lanicwrt. The records tot tho district
court were kept In Scranton, in the
olllco of District Court Clerk E. It. W.
Senrle. Those of the circuit court were
kept In Wllllanisport, where Circuit
Court Clerk W. D, Crocker resides.
Much of the records of the criminal
business of the district court were kept
.In Harrlsbuig, where United States At
torney S. J. McCorrell has his ofTlco.
Now, all these records are to be kept
here nnd all these officials, through
themselves or deputies, must maintain
these records here.
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY.
This will very likely moan tho ap
pointment of an assistant United States
attorney from Scranton, nnd tho ln
ci easing of the duties und consequently
the emoluments of Deputy Circuit Clerk
A. J. Colborn. It will also mean that
all lawyers of the whole district who
have buslne&s In the court must come
tc Scranton to transact it. In a word,
It means that Scranton becomes to the
Middle district what Philadelphia is to
the Eastern district and Pittsnurg to
the Western district.
That nothing much has been said
previously on the bill and Its Import
ance Is due to the fact that too much
publicity might have had a tendency to
stir up opposition from Hnrr'-'burg and
Willlamsport that could havo been
overcome only with much difficulty.
The manner In which Congressman
Connell succeeded in getting the bill
through without more opposition than
was encountered is significant. The
whole story would make Interesting
reading, no doubt.
The establishment of the seat of this
court in Scranton is scarcely tecond In
importance to the creation of the court
Itself, and the importance of that needs
no explanation to Scrantontans.
OTHERS WHO TRIED.
It is something that congressmen had
sought to accomplish for more than a
quarter of a century. Bills to crtate a
middle district were placed before the
forty-third congress by Hon. L. D.
Shoemaker, of Wllkes-Barre; before the
forty-fifth congress by Hon. Frank D.
Collins; before the forty-seventh con
gress by Hon. J. A. Scranton, and be
fore the fifty-second by Hon. H. C. Mc
Cormlck, of Willlamsport. All, how
ever, failed. Congressman Connell took
the matter up with a determination to
succeed, and after a vigorous fight van
quished or placated all opposition and
at the session before last had the grati
fication of seeing his bill made a law.
Strenuous opposition from the west
ern part of tho state placed the bill in
such a position that It was necessary
when it reached the senate to get
unanimous consent for its consider
ation. Every one thought the bill was
as good as dead, but nil undaunted,
Congiessman Connell induced personal
friends on the opposite side to silence
southern senators who were opposing
everything of this kind, nnd to tho
great surprise of all the bill was al
lowed to come up and pass. Few con
gressmen would have attempted tho
task. Fewer still, It is safe to say,
would have been able to accomplish it.
That the bill, besides being beneficial
to Scranton and the other cities of tho
middle district, was of general benefit
can be gleaned from the following ex
cerpt from the brief which was used in
tho arguments In favor of the bill be
fore the committees of congress:
SOME ARGUMENTS.
All bankruptcy papeis havo to bo for
warded to Plttsbuig and all orders nnd
adjudications piactlcully made there. This
Involves such delays that except for tho
abslstanco of tho state courts tho bank
ruptcy law would bo almost nullified.
Tho courts of proccduro in Pennsylvania
enables a Judgment by confession to bo
entcicd nnd a sheriff's salo of tho per
sonal property hud In six days, a pace
altogether too swift tor tho bankruptcy
courts, acting at tho distance of 200 miles.
Fortunately, tho stato courts havo been
persuaded to stay executions where bank
itiptcy pioeecdlnss have been begun, but
this concession has only been obtained
with considerable difficulty In a few of
the state courts, nnd how far It will bo
followed In others depends a good deal
on tho composition of tho court and tho
wny It regards tho bankruptcy law, rather
than on llxed pilnclples. Tho only abso
lute reliance Is n district court and a ills
tiict judge so acccbblblu that execution
proceedings emlnntlng from tho statu
courts can bo laid hold of and restrnlnod
without delay.
All that bus been so far said goes to tho
needs of tho peoplo of the dlstilct. It Is
enough to warrant tho establishment of
It, but It Is belloved that this can bo
accomplished without u mntcilal Increase
in tho general court expenses. At present
the western district is so largo that tho
mileage of jurors, ptlsoners amj govern
ment witnesses Is heavy. Juiors have
necessarily to be summoned for each sit
ting of tho court from every part of it.
They go from Scranton to Pittsburg biu!
Krio. and they como from Pittsburg and
places beyond It to Scranton, Pittsburg
Is 300 miles fiom Hciautoii ami Hrio is
even further, They aro thus drawn fiom
wtihlu an average radius of about 150
miles.
THE MIDDLE DISTRICT.
In tho proposed Middle district, ah
tho other hand, tho aveiuge radius
would bo just about half that distance,
so that nearly half tho milcnge uould ho
saved. As to tho milage of Juiors drawn
from tho territory -now In tho Eastern
.iVstiict tlicro would bo no material
change; these now all go to Philadelphia
from within an averago radius of 75
miles, and that will bo just about pre
served In tho now dlstilct. Now at 5
cents (i mile each way tho difference per
Juror when summoned from within a
radius of 100 miles or from within a ra
dius of 73 miles allowing for going and
loturning would bo J7.&0. and on BOO Jur
ors, tho estimated yearly number sum
moned, Would bo U.750 per annum, making
a. saving of this amount by tho erection
of the new district.

Besides, this thcro nro tho traveling ex
penses of prlsoncis and witnesses in gov
ernment cases which again would be half
ns much from a district In which tho dis
tances nro cut down one-half. Really the
cut would bo moro thnn that for tho
law requires that a prisoner shall bo tried
at tho next session of tho court wherever
It may be, and It has frequently happened
that a man nncsted at Scranton nfter
tho sessions nt that place havo been con
cluded, has to bo tnken with all tho wit
nesses from the place of his arrest at
largo extra expense to himself ns well as
to tho government to somo distant point
In the district such ns Pittsburg or Erlo,
nnd If, from stress of other business the
enso is not disposed of there, again car-,
rled on a long distance to tho next place
of sitting.'
IT IS NOW REMEDIED.
This Is a matter well known and com
mented upon in tho marshall's nnd dis
trict attorney's ofliccs, mid of courso so
far as posslblo is avoided. But it is un
avoidable in many cases, and when that
Is so It Is not only most expensive to tho
government, but It Is oppressive to the
defendant who suffers nil the moro If
found innocent in tho end. As a matter
of justice, as well as economy, it ought
to be remedied, and that is what this bill
will In largo measure do. Just what es
timate of saving is to bo made from tho
establishment of the now district in thi3
respect we have not tho data to say, but
we believe it will bo ns large as that with
regard to tho mileage of jurois.
Tho government will also bo benefited
as wo believe from having moro accessible
courts nt its command in tho territory
covered by tho proposed district. Many in
fringements of tho law pass unnoted and
unpunished In a largo district because of
the difficulty of their discovery and prose
cution. This is important because It is
only where tho heavy hand of tho law is
brought down upon them that offenders
fear and respect it. They havo llttlo re
gal d for a court which Is peacefully lo
cated 300 miles distant.
Just as one Instance of what the new
court means to litigants it might be
cited that Judge Archbald in October
last disposed of a case Russell vs.
tho Delaware & Hudson company
which had been waiting to be called for
five 4years.
Through Congressman Connell's "ef
forts also the last congress appropriat
ed $00,000 to enlarge the Federal build
ing in this city to meet the Increased
needs of the postofllce, revenue depart
ment and United States courts.
WILL REMOVE THE PIERS.
$
Obstructions in Carbc. Street Are to
Be Taken Out Pave Can
Then Be Laid.
Director of Public Works John E.
Roche yesterday received communica
tions from tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad company and
the Now York, Ontario and Western
Railroad company, announcing their
willingness to remove tho piers support
ing the Carbon street railroad bridge,
and thus do away with the greatest ob
stacles to tho paving of the street.
Mr. Roche also received a communi
cation from the Scranton Coal com
pany, which voluntarily presents the
city with a strip of land on the end of
the street, near Penn avenue. This
strip is one hundred and fifteen feet in
length, and is two and three-tenths feet
wide in its broadest part.
This gift will enable tho street to have
a uniform width throughout, from Penn
avenue to the Lackawanna fiver bridge.
Tho coal company, at present, has a
retaining wall on the land, but this will
be torn down and moved back.
The piers which must be removed,
consist of one largo stone pier and three
columns. They support four tracks.
The letters which Director Roche re
ceived yesterday were from Chief En
gineer W. K. MeFarlln, of tho Lacka
wanna, and C. E. Knickerbocker, en
glneeer of maintenance of way for the
Ontario und Western. They are both
eager to have work started as soon as
possible.
Mr. Roche has been endeavoring to
havo the companies take action on 'this
matter for some time, nnd felt consider
ably elated yesterday over tho success
ful outcome of negotiations, Said he to
a Tribune man:
"Tho three companies nro benefiting
tho city, without being under any obli
gations whatsoever In tho matter, and
are doing this work at' a total expense
of $25,000. Wo have been woiklng for
the Inst two years to get them to help
us with this paving of Carbon street,
and now that it at last appears as a
thing of reality, wo feel thoroughly
satisfied with the way tho companies
have acted, Tho street needs paving
badly, and tho fact has long been recog
nized. These letters from Mr. MeFar
lln and Mr, Knickerbocker both favor
an Immediate beginning of the work,
but I cannot say just when operations
will bo started on the pave.
"Tho street Is to be paved by private
contract. The city has nlrendy con
tributed Its share, one-half of the total
sum necessary, The city appropriation
Is $2,631.25. As boon as the pleip and
wall are removed, and the street thus
clear from all obstruction, work ought
to be begun."

MEETING OF POOR BOARD
Resignation of Dr. J. M. Carnochan'
Accepted and Dr. William Lynch
Named as His Successor.
Tho poor board met yqsterday nfter
noon nnd heard a large number of ap
plications for relief. Tho resignation of
Dr. J. M. Carnochan, as physician at
the Hillside Home, was received and
accepted, and Dr. William Lynch, who
has tfeen serving in the position during
the last few months, wns appointed to
the place for the balance of tho year.
Dr. Carnochan is now practicing medi
cine at Princeton, N. J.
The report of Superintendent Beemer
showed that there aro now 430 Inmates
at the home, of which number 127 men
are insane and 144 women are In the
same condition. There were eleven
deaths during the month.
William Roe, who has been receiving
aid from the board for some months,
was ordered to the Home, but appeared
rather unwilling to ga there. He is
possessed of a peculiar affliction of the
neck, which renders his appearance on
the streets rather repulsive. A Mrs.
Coons, of 414 Beech street, who applied
for aid, was offered admission to tho
Home, but she also refused it.
Sho declared she wns willing to ac
cept any other kindnesses from the
board, but grew very Indignant at the
thought of entering the hillside insti
tution. Mrs. Kathcrlno Jordan, an aged
woman, living with her daughter, on
Railroad avenue, was admitted to tho
Home, as were also Mrs. Marion FIsch
and Mr. and Mrs. John Downey.
J. P. Geezna argued volubly to the
members of the board that tho strike
had rendered him helpless. He was for
merly a peddler and sold Jewelry and
trinkets to the men about the collieries.
Now this occupation has been taken
from him, and he claimed he was in
need of the necessaries of life. The
case was referred to Director Shotton.
The last two men to appear before
the members were Andrew Seeley and
Sam White, two middle-aged men, who
left the Hillside Home a short time ago,
with the intention of supporting them
selves. "We can't do It, gentlemen,"
one of them ruefully remarked, "and
we'll be mighty glad if you let us back
to the old place again." Both men were
admitted to tho Home,

Charles Dorsey, of Scranton, made a
great gain in The Tribune's Educational
Contest yesterday, going from twenty
seventh to nineteenth place, thus pass
ing eight other contestants. It took but
fourteen points to make this big gain
and ' demonstrates what The1 Tribune
hns so often said, that there are great
possibilities for those at the bottom of
the list, or who havo not even scored a
point. Another fourteen points and Mr.
Dorsey would be in fourteenth place.
Albert Freedman' also made a big re
turn, scoring thirty-nine points and
passing up from eighth to seventh
place. This again separates the two
Carbondale boys, and places Mr. Freed
man but six points behind sixth place.
Elmer Williams, of Elmhurst, and
Miss Mary Yeager, of Green Ridge, .arc
now tied for thirty-third place. As Miss
Yeager scored her ten points first, her
name remains In the published list of
contestants.
Leroy Stanton, of Scranton, added to
his score and now holds ninth place by
twenty-six points.
A. J. Kellerman, of Scranton, also
bettered his total and Is but twenty-two
points behind tho holder of second place
this morning.
Today being a holldny the business
