Miinll writer's thoughts are eligible to sea

GAVE APPROVAL
UNDER PROTEST
RECORDER CONNELL GETS NEXT
TO POLITICAL MOVE.
,
Tax Levy Ordinance with Its Reduc
tion of Levy Is Signed by tho City's
Chief Executive, with nn Explana
tion That Has Considerable Sig
nificanceDemocratic Councilman
Thought to ,Mako Some Campaign
Thunder Other Measures Made
Operative by Recorder's Signature.
One of a hatch of councllmanlc meas
ures signed yesterday by Recorder V
I.. Council Is tho tax levy ordinance.
Tho recorder signed this measure under
protest, and explained In a note under
his signature that while ho was op
posed to tho ordinance as It stood, ho
would waive his objections, Mint the
city might not he embarrassed by the
lay consentient ot a veto.
The lux levy ordinance was carefully
drawn by city olllclals cognizant of the
city's needs. It went through common
council us submitted, but when it
leached select council tho Democratic
lenders had It amended by reducing
the levy as much as was permitted by
the $38,000 difference between the esti
mated and actual receipts from liquor
licenses. Common rouncll concurred In
the amendments, and In this shape it
went to the recorder.
On the face ot the thing the amend
ment was great, grand and glorlotisT
Hon. John P. Qulnnan, one of the
Democratic selectmen, who proposed It,
made a lengthy speech, setting forth
how tho councils were ever alive to the
duty of lessening the burden of the
taxpayer, etc., etc., etc. It was nil very
nice, but developments prove that It
was very Ill-advised.
purpose or IT.
The purpose of lowering the levy was
not, primarily, to lessen the burden of
the taxpayer. It was to put the Re
publican city administration in a hole.
One of the conspirators has confessed
to this.
It Recorder Connell vetoed tho
amended ordlnance,she would cause no
end of confusion In the city's fiscal de
partment by delaying the collection of
taxes, and, Incidentally, would have put
the city to the expense of borrowing
money. If the oidlnanco was approved
and made operative, a. deficiency would
be created and tis a campaign would
be contemporaneous with the discovery
of the deficiency at tho end of the fiscal
year, the Democrats would have still
have better campaign thunder than
that which would develop from the de
lay of putting through a second tax
levy ordinance.
Tho scheme was apparent at first
glance and steps were taken to get at
the bottom of It. One of the parties
who was let in on the scheme gave the
snap away, and the lecorder was pre
pared to act advisedly.
He did not want to veto the ordi
nance, because of the 111 consequences,
so he attached his signature with a
note of protest. A full explanation of
why he signed the ordinance under pro
test will make interesting reading.
"VVIIVL BE RESPONSIBLE.
Those who effected the reduction of
the levy will be shown to be responsible
for the deficiency. As a result of their
action the city will be unable to re
place the bridges washed away in last
spring's flood and must let go by tho
board a number of other contemplated
repairs and Improvements. In its orig
inal shape the ordinance would let the
city out eve;i. As it stands now, there
will be a deficiency of $20,000 or fo,
without taking into account tho repairs
of bridges.
Other measures signed by the recorder
yesterday were as follows: Contracts
with the Eureka and Boston Hose com
panies for new hose: resolution with
drawing the appeal In the case of J.
P. Helm, In the matter of paving Sev
enth '.street: resolution abating the

SCRANTON'S PURE MILK.
Inspector Widmayer Says Its the
Best in the Country and Proves
Statement by Figures.
Scrnnton may have its ills, present
and in pfospect but one blessing it en
joys which many other cities are denied
Is pure unadulterated milk.
Tho old time practice of skimming "a
little bit ore the top" for the cat Is no
more. A few years of aggressive work
on the part of the board of health's
bureau of food Inspection has brought
about a remarkable change In the qual
ity of the milk dispensed to Scranton
iuns. When the dairy business first began
to attain a growth In this region, It
was half-suhpected by some unduly
suspicious pei sons that a good deal of
the cieam that should come down the
pike to Scranton was retained in the
cicamery communities. Tho bureau of
food and milk Inspection was estab
lished and some grounds for this sus
picion were unearthed.
Now, however, it is different. In
spector F. J. Widmayer declares that
Scranton la getting the best milk of any
city in the country, and he makes this
declaration only after compaiing his
findings with those published in the re
ports of similar bureaus In the other
cities.
Pure milk, according to the scientists,
should contain 12!4 per cent, of solids,
with 3 per cent, of butter fat. Scranton
milk, he says, average 12 9-10 per cent,
ot solids and nearly 4 per cent, of but
ter fat.
Yesterday he made eight tests of milk
secured at ns many diffeient depoth.
The solids averaged nearly 13 per cent,
and the lowest percentage of butter fat
was four, while borne of It ran as high
as five.
Good pasturage at this time of the
year W primarily accountable for this
showing, the inspector says, but he
adds, that the knowledge of tho dairy
man that a rigid inspection is made in
Scranton," is in a large measure ac
countable for the excellence of the milk.
The best cow in all the region 'round,
according to Inspector "Widmayer, is
one owned by C P. Matthews and pas
tured on his country place at Clark's
Green. In the summer time, ho says, its
milk shows sometimes as high as 7 per
cent, of fat and 15 per cent, of solids.
There may be better cows, the inspec
tor admits, but he has not encountered
their product In making a test.
500 CIGARS CONFISCATED.
Hazlet'on Jobber Shipped Them to
Peckville Unlawfully.
Antonio Schiavo, a jobber In cigars
at Ilazleton, recently shipped COO cigars,
of the stogie variety, to Antonio Lara

Revenue Collector Penman confiscat
ed the box and contents befoie they
reached Laratanda, and caused the ar
rest of Schiavo. At tho hearing before
United States Commissioner Charles F.
lllll, nt Hazleton, on Tuesday, Schiavo
was held in $300 ball for his appear
ance at the October term of the United
States district court,
The defendant Is charged under three
sections of the revised statutes, that of
packing cigars In other than a statu
tory package, selling and offering for
salo cigars without being taxed and
properly stamped. The penalty Is from

Statement Issued by Central Labor
Union and Street Car Men on
Existing Trouble.
Tho executive committees of the Cen
tral Labor union and the Street Car
Men's union held a special meeting at
their headquarters In the Arcade last
evenlng.and after discussing the trouble
between tho Scranton Railway com
pany and their employes, gave out the
following statement for publication:
At a joint meeting of the Street Car
union and Central Labor union executive
committees It was decided to await a lcii
sonablo time the answer of the Scranton
Railway company's officials before fur
ther action bo taken on gliovnnces sub
mitted to General Manager Sllllman.
Organized labor Is not desirous of plac
ing a strike on the lines of the Scranton
Railway company at this time. The
odium of such an action on the part of
the union must rest enlhely with the
company's management.
The union entered into the acreement
of April 7 In good fuith, believing that
General Manager Sllllman was honest in
his purpose when he submitted tho ngice
ment. It is the purpose of organized la
bor to Insist that this agreement bo ful
filled. The result rests entirely on tho
action of tho company's officials.
Tho joint executive committee ad
journed to meet on Saturday night, be
lieving that the answer of tho company
should l)a In their bands at this time.
The committee has been notified that
tho matter has been submitted by Gen
eral Manager Sillman to President Claris
and for this reason action on the matter
has been temporarily postponed.

Five contestants added to their scores
yesterday in The Tribune's Educational
Contest. They were Herbert Thomp
son, of Carbondale; William T. Rod
riguez, of Scranton; Charles "W. Dor
sey, of Scranton; Miss Edna Coleman,
of Scranton, and Fred Klbler," of South
Scranton,
Herbert Thompson broke the tie
which held him on an equal footing
with Albert Freedman for sixth place,
and now leads the latter by five points.
William Rodriguez drew a shade
nearer to the first four leaders, who did
not score.
Charles Dorsey has at last almost
caught up with L. E. Stanton, In ninth
place, who led Mr. Dorsey on July 1 by
71 points. When Stanton gets home
from state camp he will have to work
very hard to overcome this formidable
competitor.
Miss Edna Coleman advanced two
numbers on the list. A few more points
will make a perceptible difference in
her position.
Fred Kibler, of South Scranton, also
went up two pluccs. This young man
is doing the best of any oC the recent
entries and has evidently decided to
keep his ambition glowing by energetic
pursuit of every opportunity.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS A PRIEST.
Rev. R. A. McAndrow, of Wilkes
Barro, Celebrated the Event.
The twenty-fifth nnnlvcrsnry of Rev.
H. A. McAndrcw's ordination to the
priesthood was cclcbratod tit St. Mary's
church, Wllkes-Barre, on Tuesday,
when a special mass was said by him.
He had announced a farewell mass
previous lo his departure for Europe,
but the silver jubilee was a surprise to
all, except the Sisters and school chil
dren. His object In not allowing the mem
bers of his flock into the secret was to
avoid any special celebration of the
event. The farewell mass was cele
brated by Father McAndrcw at 0
o'clock, a large congregation being
present, together with the school chil
dren. Tho choir, under the direction of
Dr. Mason, sang Millard's Mass In C,
the solo parts being 'rendered by Miss
O'Neill, Mrs. Burns, Messrs. O'Neill
and Burns. Richard Jones also sang a
tenor solo.
Father McAndrow delivered a fervent
address during the service. Prior to
his pastorate at St. Mary's church,
which began thirteen years ngo, ho was
rector of St. Peter's cathedral In this
city. On his return to the parochial
residence after the service. Father Mc
