DIM0RE--AR1EL TROLLEY ROAD Proposed Electric Komi from Scran tun to Lake Ariel Franchise to Kntor Dunmore Asked of Town Council. The projected trolley road to Lake Ariel has reached a point of devel opment where the company which Is to he known ns the Scranton & Lake Ariel Railway company has applied for a franchise trom the borough of Dunmore. This and ono other franchise is all the new company lacks between Scranton and Lake Ariel. The entrance into Scrnnton will be over the lines of the Scranton Railway company, similar to the ar rangement of the Northern Electric road. And it was for the purpose of assuring this connection and ontrance into the city that the com pany made application Tuesday night to the Dunmore council for a franchise along the old Drinker turnpike, from the line at Roaring Brook township to Prospect and Dunmore streets where the connec tion would be made with the Scran ton Railway company. Prospect street is where the Drink er line turns off Drinker street to reach the Moosic Lake railway sta tion. The option on Lake Ariel' is held by Hon. W. L. Connell and the rail road project is not only to develop the lake but the country between Scranton and the terminus in Wayne county, similarly as the Northern Electric is developing the country between there and Pactoryville. In tact some of the most heavily Interested In the Northern road are behind this project. But there are others also interested in the enter prise. Those who appeared at the meet ing of the Dunmore council on Tuesday night when the ordinance asking for the franchise was pre sented were Valentine Bliss, the silk mill owner; V. J. Davis, the tailor; Deputy Prothonotary A. O. Rutherford, Attorney L. P. Wedeman and J. .1. Brown, of the former firm of Garney, Brown & Co. The ordinance was not satisfactory and it was withdrawn or rather1 it 'vas not formally introduced though the provisions were made known to the council members. The ordinance was not satisfactory for several reasons. It was not re garded by some of the members as specific enough as to being a trolley or third-rail line and there were some conditions lacking that some of the counc.ilmen would have incor porated. One of these it lias since developed was that the road should bo asked to provide for the grading and widen ing of Drinker street, whero necer sary and pledging to pay the erst as well as niaintalnence that would fall on the borough in the event of the macadamizing of tho turnpike by reason of it being made a state road. Another was that the road along this thoroughfare be illuminated with arc lights at certain intervals. These conditions arc to be placed in an ordinance to be prepared by Borough Solicitor R. A. Zimmerman and submitted at a meeting of the council this week. The route of the proposed road to l.,ake Ariel is through El mint rat, Moscow, Madisonville, Salem Corn ers to the lake. While the condi tions are similar to those along the Northern road the freight possibili ties are considered far moro promis ing. For one thing a rich dairy country would be tapped, from which the shipments of milk are now made over the Erie or are carried by wag on to Scranton. When some of the men who ap peared at the council meeting or were believed to be interested in the project were seen they declined to discuss the project, but it was learn ed that the project has developed so far that an entrance into Scran ton through Dunmore borough is practically all that is needed. TREMENDOUS POSSIBILITIES. The following is quoted from a recent prosperity speech of a south ern congressman: ' Has It ever occurred to you, Mr. Chairman, that the cotton cloth made in South Carolina annually would make a sheet big enough to cover the entire surface of America and Europe and lap over on the toes of Asia? Or, if all the cattle she raises in each year were one cow, she could browse on the tropi cal vegetation along the equator While her tail switches icicles off the north pole, and that her milk could float a shipload of her butter and cheese from Charleston to New York? Or, If all the mules we market each year were ono mule, It would consume the entire annual corn crop of North Carolina at one meal and kick the spots off the sun without swelling Its sides or shaking Its tail? Or, if the hogs we raise annually were one hog, that animal would dig the Panama canal in three roots, without grunting, and Its squeal would bo loud enough to jar the cocoanuts off the trees along the canal zone?" Sir Oliver Lodge computes that there are 15,625,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000 electlfled corpuscles of ether to every cubic inch of spaed In the universe. If. you .don't believe It, count. 'din for yourself, since no two y r' ten touch each other. Still, as they are In rapid motion, you may 'miss a few of them. OUR LAWMAKERS AT WASHINGTON The Senators Arc Still Talking on the Tariff When WJ11 it End? Washington, June 7. "I am con fident that congress will respect the reasonable request made by the hosiery manufacturers and opera tives and give an Increased measure of protection to this industry," said Senator Jacob H. Gallinger of New Hampshire, to-day. "No incident connected with the present struggle over the tariff has been more Interesting to me," said the New Hampshire senator, than thi3 one relating to the duties on hosiery. 1 am a protectionist, and I believe that one of the best feat ures of a protective tariff system, such as we have had during the past dozen years under the Dingley law, Is that it Justifies itself by giving work and Increased wages to American people, and establishes the industries that are given en couragement by duties to enter Into and supply the American markets. The history of our tariff furnishes abundant evidences of the value of the system. We all remember the creation of protective duties for the tin plate industry. We are now called upon to give encouragement to a struggling domestic Industry engaged In making hosiery. I be lieve congress will do it, and that the result, within a short space of time, will be less foreign Imports of hosiery, more work and better wages for the men and women In our hosiery factories, and no in crease In the retail prices of the class of hosiery which the great ma jority of our people buy and wear." Senator Gallinger asserted that lie has a special concern about the real needs of the hosiery industry because there are many hosiery mills in New Hampshire. "The fact is that the industry in my home state is languishing on account of the tremendous competition of foreign Imports of hosiery. I have advices regarding two of the leading hosi ery mills in the state showing that they are able to run upon half time i or less, and unless relief speedily I comes tho enterprising men engaged in efforts to operate these plants, will be obliged to shut them down. What tills 'will mean to the working moil and women must bo obvious to every person who lias any knowl edge of what depression and Idle mills mean to wage earners every where. "I cannot believe that American people who buy hosiery are willing to buy foreign made goods when goods made at home by our own people can be obtained at reasonable prices if the domestic industry is given a fair measure of protection," said Senator Gallinger. "We all re moniber what a hue and cry went up over the country, encouraged in large part by the importers and re- j tall dealers, about increased prices I to follow giving protection to tin i plate manufacturing in the country. .o such advames came to vex our people. But under the protection given by the laws of congress we have established a tin plate industry giving investment to millions of dollars in capital and disbursing millions of dollars annually in wages to our working people. "Let us do the same with hosiery. The goods will not cost more, soon they will he much better than the imported goods, and American work ers will receive employment and good wages from a firmly establish ed industry in thirty or more states of the American Union." American women have shifted their position on the hosiery ques tion, which has stirred the Ways and Means and Finance Committees ol Congress. When the subject first came up thousands of women peti tioned congress in protest against increased hosiery duties. The same women are now sending in protests against the continued admission of foreign hosiery to compete with the products of women operatives and the mill workers generally in tho hosiery industry of the country. The members of tho senate Fi nance Committee are receiving thousands of letters and postal cards from the women who originally signed the petitions to the House of Representatives against the increased hosiery duties. These protests -are coming at an opportune time, in view of the fact that the Finance Committee and the senate are soon to enter upon the consideration of the cotton goods schedule. , The young women operatives in American hosiery mills have been industrious in promoting their side of the case and pointing out the weakness of the importers' side. They have accomplished much in bringing about a reversal of the position originally taken by the leading society women in many cities in protesting against the In crease of hosiery duties, it Is rec ognized by members of the Finance Committee that even so much of the result, in connection with tho hosi ery contest, is a splendid victory for the working women and at tho same time furnishes evidence of awaken ed interest among the women, even in the dry subject of tariff discus sions.

The iMIddletown Times-Press hears that upon the ground that evidence which did not relate to the case and had a tendency to pre judice the Jury was admitted, Ex Judge Henry B. Fullerton will ap peal from the verdict In the case of John Barbuoto found guilty of murder In the first degree week be fore last. .Mr. Fullerton will Im mediately carry his appeal to the Appellate Division. Mr. Fullerton contends that Mrs. Gaetano's story describing the crim inal assault on the night of the murder should never have been ad mitted, inasmuch as Barbuoto was not on trial for assault, and that the admission as evidence by court of the assault story prejudiced the jury against tho accused. There were also other points to which Air. Fullerton made strenuous objection during the trial but which were ad mitted. Mr. Fullerton will further attempt to show, in his appeal, that the ver dict was not justified by the evi dence, and thnt there is a very grave doubt as to who actually did the shooting. The shooting is ad mitted but there is some uncertain ty who actually did it. Mr. Fuller ton contends thnt Mrs. Gnetano was seeking revenge on Barbuoto and that she practically swore his life awny as a result. She was tho only one during the trial who swore that site saw Barbuoto do tho shooting. On the other hand, Mr. Fullerton will contend that as the night was rather dark, and that all 'hands were Indulging in gun play and further that ns a result of tho excitement which was but natural, it is prob able that Mrs. Gnetano was mistak en as to who actually did the shoot ing. Upon these grounds tho appeal will be made. The briefs are being prepared now. SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

Both men were about the same age, and both came originally from England. Sprague is a married man with three children; Greenwood is survived by a wife and four children. They were earning good wages and could have been comfortable were it not that both men drank heavily, partic ularly after pay days. Spraguo and Greenwood were paid on Saturday and had been drinking up to the moment of the shooting. So far as could be ascertained, however, Sprague and Greenwood got along fairly well together when sober, but Spraguo could not tolerate Green wood when they were drinking. Both Mrs. Sprague and Mrs. Green wood were, it Is said by neighbors, companions, and Mrs. Greenwood was In Sprague's home when her husband was killed. The neighbors say Bhe had been there from a very early hour that morning and shortly after her husband died, she was found lying unconscious on the porch of Sprague's house with her scalp lacerated, but only superficially so.

Take tho Citizen. Why not. BIG TREES AT EXPOSITION. The whole front of the Forestry Building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pn-clfic Exposition is a colonnade of huge fir logs, not one of which is of greater diameter than 5 feet. The task wns not to find in Wash ington's woods logs large enough, but logs small enough. In every one of the 124 huge logs of the colonnade Is sufficient clear lumber to build a five-room bungalow, with enough In the rough left over for a woodshed and something In the way of fence. It is the largest log house ever erected. Any one of the big sticks is 40 feet high, and all of them were cut within a radius of fifty miles of Seattle. During the exposition the struc ture will house the state's forestry exhibit, the manufacture of lumber being Western Washington's chief industry. To help out the display, the United States Government has installed In the building the only timber testing plant in the West, and this will be allowed to remain when the exposition is over. When the fair is at an end the Forestry building will go to the State University, by which It will be used ns a forestry school, and it also will prove a valuable asset to the City of Seattle as a scenic point for tourists, for the building Is set with a background made up of beau tiful Lake Washington, the snow capped mountains and a timble of forest upland transcending in its grandeur. A FISH MYSTERY. One strange feature of sea life of the tropics is the regular recur rence of migratory swarms of fish of very small size that return In huge numbers year after year with such absolute regularity that the natives calculate on the event nn a certain day in each year and even within an hour or two of the day. One such swarm of fish forms the occasion of an annual holiday and feast at Samos. The fish is not un like the whitebait for which the English Thames has so long been celebrated, and each year it arrlve's at' Samoa on the same day in the month of October, remains for a Our Large Stock of HIGH ART CLOTHING for Spring Tells the Story of our Commercial Supremacy !
