$150 of the borough funds
Some time ago a bill was presented
to the Valley Telephone company for
$2¢ for clearing away the dirt on
Lockhart street when the cables of
the company were laid underneath
the ground. The telephone company
refused to pay the bill as they con-
sidered it too large. Recently, how-
ever, a compromise was reached and
it was stated at the meeting of the
council last night that the bill had
been cut in half and had been paid
by the company.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Fauanin
senter cel Daniel Clearwater of Sayre,
to pay a fine of ten dollars, liquidate
the cosils of preseculicn, and spend
the ensulng thirty days cracking
stone for the county, a jury having
convicted him of assaulting his wife
Clearwaler, who has served several
jall sentences for similar offenses,
was arrested on the 7th day of Jan-
uary last, charged with aggravated
assault upon his wife At a prelim-
inary hearing before Justice Carey,
the woman testified that her husband
had been drunk for several days, dur-
ing which time he had persistently
abused and maltreated her. One
morning she missed two rugs, valued
at $12, from the house and later dis-
covered that her husband had taken
them to an East Waverly hotel where
he had disposed of them for whiskey.
She had paid for them with her own
money which she had earned over the
wash tub. These facts came out be-
fore the jury at Towanda yesterday
and the jury did not take long to re-
turn & verdict of gulity. Clearwater
was unable to liguidate the fine and
costs and was remanded to jail. He

hind Closed Doors, Special Ofiicer
Tenders Resignation. "
Al the meeting of the council held
iast night the special officer, R. A.
Holcomb, against whom Chief Walsh
bad preferred written charges, ten-
dered his resignation which was ac-
cepled. Some time ago Special OM-
er Holcomb was suepended from fur-
ther service by Chief Walsh. The
chief at the time stated that the offi-
cer was not doing his duty, but no
specific charges were made.
Last night, however, the chief pre-
tented formal charges in writing. He
alleged that on the 1st day of August
last there was a street brawl In West
Sayre near Holcomb's barber shop,
and that Holcomb did nothing to in-
terfere. Holcomb replied to this
charge by saying that the chief's son
was one of the participants, but the
chief declared that this was no rea-
son for the officer falling to do his
duty as a preserver of the public
peace
The chief also charged that at the
time of the riot in this place last
summer Holcomb failed to do his duty
as an officer. To this charge Hol-
comb stated that he was asleep in bed
and knew nothing of the mob’s com-
ing.
The chief charged that Holcomb
received one dollar from services
which were supposed to have been
performed on Hollow'een night, but
which were not
Another charge was to the effect
that two windows were broken in
Shedden’s store, opposite Holcomb's
place of business, but that Holcomb
allowed the matter to go by default
and made no effort to apprehend the
perpetrators of the mischief.
‘ The coutroversy between the de-
posed officer and the chief promised
to wax hot and President Lacey made
an ineffectual effort to get the coun-
cil to go Into executive session. Just
as the excitement was reaching a
high piteh Holcomb tendered his res-
ignation which was quickly accepted
and the incident closed.
Chief Walsh declares that he will
insist upon good service from the
specials, and that no man will be re-
moved unless there is good and saf-
ficlent cause.
RAILROAD HANDS
HAVE BEEN BUSY.
Coxton Has Been Assisting to Relieve
the Freight Congestion by Hand-
flug 300 Extia Care a Day.
Freight trafic on the Lehigh Valley
1aliroad bas been unusually heavy
durinz the past [ew weeks. It seems
that there has been a congestion of
slow freight, such as wheat and other
grain, on all the railroads east of
Pittsburg, due to the large amount
of more Important freight that had
ot be given precedence. Most of this
grain that has been held back at vari-
ous points along the trunk lines is for
the export trade. A couple of weeks
ago orders went out from headquar-
ters that a special effort must be
made to work off this congestion of
slow freight. Coxton officials and em-
ployes have been doing their full
share of this extra work. Some 300
cars havo been handled each 24 hours
in addition to the regular trafic. This
has been accomplished without ew-
ploying extra hands by boarding out
the regular crews oftener. While the
rush has been in progress each crew
has been boarded out about onc In
24 hours.
At the Loomis Tomorrow Night.
Mannering, who has been ap-
pearing all this season In the new
Amercian play “Glorious Betsy” by
the same author as “Brown of Har-
vard” comes to Loomis opera house
this evening. Miss Mannering is
very fond of buying up old relics
and during her stay will divide up
much of her time {in hunting up
qualnt things in the shape of curlos-
ities. One of the masterpieces Is a
musical clock, which has just come
into her possession. Besides pointing
out the correct time it will play se-
lections with a fully equipped auto-
matic orchestra. It Is pronounced the
most wonderful musical device In the
country, having eight divisions, one
of which is a repertoire of eight mel-
odles. All the pleces played by the
musical clock were selected by the
Emperor of China, who owns its coun-
terpart and consista of 40 foreign and
24 chimes recitals. The case of the
clock ia made of rosewood in chipen-
dale antique style.

Wanted to Know By What Authority
Burgess Cross Relnstated Chief of
Police.
The police department came in for
a fair share of attention at the meet-
ing of the borough council last night.
when Councilman Hassler of the sec-
ond ward introduced a resolution rel-
ative to the suspension and reinstate-
ment of Chief Walsh by Burgess
Cross, which occurred some time ago
Shortly after the suspension of the
chief the matter was called to the
attention of the council and a reso-
lution was passed asking the burgess
for data relative to the matter. The
minutes of the meeting show that
Councilman Hassler had Introduced
a resolution saking for data concern
ing the suspension of the chief, but
it falled to show anything further. At
the meeting last night Mr. Hassler
claimed that his resolution also ask-
ed for information concerning the
steps that the burgess took in rela-
tion to his reinstating the chief. The
councilman, however, could pot go
back on the minutes, and he was fore-
ed to be content with asking Burgess
Cross by what authority he had re-
instated the suspended officer. The
burgess replied that he had not been
asked that question by the council
~hen called upon to furnish informa-
tion, and just as matters were becom-
ing somewhat warm President Lacey
declared the Incident closed. Coun-
climan Hassler protested, but the
council passed on to other businehs
TRUST COMPANIES TO
FIGHT LEGISLATION.
‘Ihject to 15 Per Cent. Reserve Clanse
in Bill Before Legislature.
Plans are on foot by the trust com-
pany officials of Philadelphia to op-
pose the passage of legislation at
Harrisburg which they claim would
tie up miilions of dollars.
After Frank K. Hipple had looted
the Heal Estate Trust Company out
of a large sum of money there was a
great deal of talk of about new laws
for the protection of people having
funds on deposit in banks and trust
companies.
Since the present session of the
Legislature opened Satte Senator Er-
nest L. Tustin, of West Philadelphia,
has introduced bills which provide
that trust companies shall carry as a
reserve at all times 15 per cent of
their deposits, and that of this 15
per cent. 5 per cent shall be in ac
tual cash in the vaults and not one
dollar of this sum withdrawn for any
purpose under penalty of fine and Im-
prisonment.
Accordning to the last report as of
date November 26, 1006, there was
on deposit in the Philadelphia Trust
companies $318.858.201.
According to the legislature pro-
posed by Senator Tutsin, should it
be adpoted by the Legislature, ff-
teen million dollars of this sum would
have to be in cash, locked up in the
vaults of the trust companies and
absolutely withdrawn from circula-
tion.
Feeling that such a law would be
a great injustice to the vast financial
interests of Philadelphia, the presi-
dents of the various trust companies
of the city held a meeting last week
to talk over the matter informally
with the determination to arrive at
some means by which the passage of
the Tustin law might be successfully
combatted.
No Definite Action.
While no definite ction was taken
by the trust company presidents, the
proposed measure was declared to be
a hardship, and pressure will be
brought to bear to have the measure
amended sa as to do away with those
features that are objectionable.
“The passage of such a law would
be grossly wroug and would work a
great hardship upon the trust com-
panies,” sald the president of one of
the institutions Interested. “The trust
companies of Philadelphia were never
in better condition than they are to-
day. To Ue up cash § per cent. of
the deposits would be of no benefit
but, on the other hand, would draw
from circulation $156 000,000 annually
“The proposed law would compel
this money to lie idle, and we could
not even deposit it in a national bank,
where It would draw Interest
“The funds of the trust companies
are as well protected now ar any law
could make them.
“Fully 76 per cent. of the loans are
on ca'l and can be collected on a few
hours, notice. We usually give twen-
ty-four hours’ notice of the call of a
loan, and never have any trouble in
collecting the money.
“The trust company deposits are
making rapld gains, and the passage
of the law suggested by Senator Tus-
tin would work a great hardship on
our Institutions.”
It is expected that another meet-
ing of the trust company presidents
will shortly be held, when some defl-
nite action will be taken to prevent
the passage of the Tustin bill in its
present shape.
