West Mahanoy Township School
Direc-
tors Appear For Sentence.
EMARKS BY JUDGE BEGHTEL I
In Disposing of the cases He Imposes Ten
Dollars Fine, Orders Restoration of
Money Drawn and Removal of
the School Directors
From Olllce.
Pottsvllle, Jan. 17. John F. Whalen, Kn.,
this morning stated to court that, in tho ab
sence ot tho District Attorney, ho would
movo for tho sentence of the West Mahanoy
township School Directors recently con
victed of having drawn mouey from tho
school district In payment for attendance
upon tho county institute and school direc
tors convention. Judge Bechtel then called
tho defendants, Messrs. P. J. Fergusou, M.
F. McLaln, John Donlan, P. M. No'oue and
T. K. FUnigan, before him, and aftor giving
them an imprcsslvo lecture sentouced each to
pay hisshaio of the costs; $10 fine; to restoro
tho money taken from tho township aud to
be removed from olllce.
Among other things the Judge said that
they had been acquitted of all but one count,
tho costs wero very high, $1,158.71. and a
large petition asking clemency had been pre
sented. Tho fact that they had been con-
Ictcd of taking hut a small amount of money
oes not lessen tho gravity of tho ollenso. A
majority of the signers to the petition are
Irom other districts. Under the circumstan
ces of the case ho could notsuspend sentence.
ml a provision of tho constitution mado it
mandatory upon tho court to remove from
olllce anyono convicted of misdemeanor.
Were it not tor tho fact that the defendants
ere acquitted of a great many counts, tho
large petition presented and tho heavy hill
of cost which are guaranteed to bo paid so
that tho county will not he obliged to stand
for the same, the court would he disposed to
add Imprisonment to the sentence, but under
tho circumstances a nominal lino, tho pay
ment of costs and removal from olllce, would,
in the court's opinion, servo the public's in
terests best.
Tho Judge then said that there. Is 011
record a decision from the full count in which
tho defendants wero notified that no school
district, or school board, has tho right to em
ploy a member of tho board and to pay him
for services. This was in tho case against
McKeruan. His purposo in speaking of this
was because of their ncqultuil ou the count
charging them with paying money to a
truant otlicer, who was a member of tho
board, and tho statement in tho cliargo of
tho count that the money might bo illegally
paid out and yet not Be a criminal act. All
act of this kiud should not ho done In any
suapo or form. It should be bomu In miud
that tho School Board represents tho School
District aud cannot employ itself or settle
with itself. Tho school fund is perhaps tho
most sacred of all funds, aud being for the
education of young aud young minds of all
classes is akin to charity. Kverybody should
therefore, not only scorn to take from it,
but the disposition should be to add to it.
The amount of tho costs, fine und restora
tion of property makes the share to bo paid
by each director $247.

ADDITIONAL NOTES.
Judges Bechtel and Koch opened court this
morning at ten o'clock. After Judge Koch
delivered several opinions Judge Bechtel
called oil the trial list and excused somo
jurors for legal reasons.
A dlvorco was g. anted in tho caso of Sadio
i. Thomas J. Evans.
In the case of John F. Reynolds vs., the
U. S. Industrial Insurance Company, in
which a demurrer was filed by tho defendant
Judge Koch was about to announce a decis-
slon when Attorney Iloughawout stated that
he had not waived his right to argue the
point. Attorney Suhalck for th defendant
then explained that ho had handed up the
papers under tho other impression. Judge
Koch instructed Mr. Iloughawout to file his
answer by Wednesday, and ho would have
his opinion ready by noxt Monday.

Lithuanian residents of tho First ward of
Shenandoah on the charge of attempting to
blow up her homo with dynamite, was
brought to court ou au attachment, she hav
ing failed to appear when the case was called
Sho said she was ill and the Judge decidsd to
allow the costs of the capias to bo paid by
the loser of tho suit, which goes over to tho
Marcli term.
The application of the Firemens' Belie
Association of Pinegrovo was refused. Judge
Koch said, in a long opinion, that tho powers
of the court are limited to the statutes. I no
purpose of this society is set forth in thu
petition to be beneficial and protective;'
aud, the statutes restrict such societies to
those in which the fundsare collected therein
whereas, this Association proposes to ralso
funds from "legacies bequests and otherwise.'
Under their application they might go into
tho manufacturing ut llremeiis' regalias, etc.
or any other sort of bus'ness. The petition

to Secretary Kdge a report covering an
analysis ot 3.10 samples of milk selected
in different cities. The worst milk was
found in Pittsburg, while In Philadel

Donnell recommends that Inspections
be made of the milk supplies in all tho
