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and it was withdrawn or rather1 it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. There is no national hollrinv hv
federal enactment. The President
recommenas tne observance of
Thanksgiving Day, and most, of the
states have passed laws' t6 secureHts

TRYING TO SAVE
THE BEAST
The Grounds on Which n New Trial
Will bo Asked for the Mur
derer Itarhuoto.
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.

j MURDER AT NICHOLSON.
! The local papers give the follow

ty tragedy:
I Roger Greenwood, aged forty-live
years, was killed Tuesday morning
of last week at 1 1 o'clock by a shot
I from a gun alleged to have been
fired by Henry J. Sprague, at
Sprague's home on the outskirts of
Nicholson. A coroner's jury, sum
moned promptly after the shooting,
rendered a verdict charging Sprague
! with the crime.
I Greenwood was shot inthebreastand
the wound was inflicted at such short
i range that the breast bone was caved
i in by the force of the discharge, the
victim dying almost instantaneously,

piece, the shot discharged being what

hands, which he had raised in vain
for protection, but it was the wound
in the breast that proved fatal.
Sprague and Greenwood worked
nt the Moses Shields company's stone
quarry at Nicholson. Sprague was
a fireman at the quarry and Green
wood was a stonecutter. 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.
How she got the wound was not dis

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

month of October, remains for a
