HARD TO GET CREWS Considerable difficulty was ex- perienced at Hazelton on New Year's day by the Lehigh Valley officials in getting train crews. Although calls were sent out as carly as 7 a m., It was nearly noon before any of the men responded. As a result several of the latter were disciplined. TWO OLD WORTHIE John A.

The object of the ban- quet was to call the firemen to- gether for the purpose of explain- ing to them the objects and aims of the association, as it has been generally conceded that they were not generally understood by the average fireman. The banquet followed a business meeting of the association but on account of the absence of several members whose names appeared on the printed program the latter was not strictly followed. John Hammond, Sayre's known and enthusiastic fire-fig presided as toast-master made the opening address, was delivered in that gentleman's best vein. He spoke of the bene- fits that the injured firemen would receive if a member of the associa- tion and gave much valuable in- formation concerning the aims of the organization well hter, and also which Addresses were also made by M. J. Farrell, Ward Crane. Walter Brooks, William Brown, A LL Cotton, P. H. O'Shea, Ray La mont, Mr. Shaffer, £ A Wilbur, Frank Wass, Thomas Bostwick, Dr. Cummings and George Wilson. The latter gave a decid- edly instructive address of a statis. tical nature which was listened to with great interest In fact all of the speeches were of an excellent order and when the toast list was finished it was evi dent that much had been done toward placing the workings of the Relief squarely before those present as well as to stimulate in- terest in the department. Itis believed that the effects of last night's mecting will be far reaching and will go a long way toward re-establishing interest in Sayre's fire department which in the past few months has been de- cidedly on the wane. From now on those who are interested in maintaining a first class fire-fight- ing organization in Sayre will put forth every effort to that end. and they should not only have the un- qualified support of every member of the department but every citizen of Sayre. A fine spread had been prepared by the committee consisting of W., J. Crans, M. J. Farrell and Geo. M. Wilson, and after the tempting delicacies of the season had been partaken of the banquet came to a close, it having been a pronounced success, DIED AT THE HOSPITAL Mrs. W. W.

GAVE EXCELLENT ADDRESS The meeting of the Sayre Busi- ness Men's Association, which was held in their rooms on Desmond street last night was largely attend- ed, and those present listened to an excellent address by State Organ izer Rittenhouse of Scranton. He complimented the business men of Sayre upon the excellent showing they had made since the organiza- tion was effected less than a year ago, and assured them that he was satisfied that matters here were being most successfully managed He had only one suggestion to make and that was that the mem- bers of the association attend the mectings more frequently, CHILD'S PITIABLE CONDITION Yesterday an order of relief was issued for Floyd Palmer, an infant, six years old.

Only one benefit has been {paid by the association during the { past year, the claimant being A F Thomas, a former chiel of the |department, who was injured on [the Packer avenue bridge while running to a fire. Mr. Thomas was | confined to his home for some time {and the Relief Association paid {him the sum of $149.72, including |physician’s fees. The claim for [physician's fees by Mr. Thomas | called forth considerable discussion 'which finally resulted in a change lof the by-laws covering this point Under the present rule nothing | was said concerning the physician's fees, with the exception that under | section 7 of article 6 the physician | was required to investigate cach [case of injury or illness coming | before the association and make a report of each on a blank for that purpose furnished by the associ- lation. The association, however, | gave this section a liberal interp e- | tation with reference to Mr. Thom las’ claim and paid the doctor's bill | But as this procedure would event | ually become burdensome it was | decided to amend the section by (adding thereto a clause which en— | tiles the physician pay for only [ the first and last calls, | Section 2 of article 8 was also | materially changed. Heretofore | the section referred to provided that if a fireman was killed and was survived by a widow that she should receive the sum of S8 per week as long as she remained unmarried. As this sum would be liable in many cases to run indefi- nitely it was decided to change the section so that the surviving widow will receive $50 for funeral expen- ses and also one-third of what her husband was receiving per week previous to his death, this sum to be paid for a period of one year Changes were also made in the sme section relative to the paying of minor children and dependent parents the sum of $2 per week for a stated period. This provision was entirely stricken out as it was beileved that it would eventually charge the association with more obligations than its limited mem- bership could discharge The comatose condition of the fire department was discussed and the members of the association suggested many plans for renewing interest, It is said that while the railroads {will persist in their determination Ito cut off all passes, the Republi |can State orgamization will be al- {lowed to purchase tickets in large ‘Quantities at greatly reduced rates | This has been done heretofore on several expenditures was shipped to Monroeton where | $319: has been deserted by both IS! special occasions when passes the funeral will be held | father and mother, and recent! ¥Y | could not be obtained in sufficient ; has been cared for by friends. | friends | A numbers Politicians in this secs — f railroads in the State practically While there are not n y auto- | but a reply was received from the | do possess one should remember |3dVising that it be “thrown on the quests to furnish passes for their er of these vehicles in the state. i. | Proper provisions for the mainte- | | pear on both the front and rear ope | Sayre, slipped on the wet sidewalk it to any police officer and consta- Cabin Co. will give a special mat- i one of his ribs.
