negotiations now pending
between that line and
lake ariel indicate possi
bility ok cars entering
scranton above moosic
stiteet other locations.
Negotiations between offlcials of
the Laurel Line company and the
promoters of the Lake Ariel Railroad
company may result In the former's
station In Scranton being used as
the terminal of the new line.
The entrance to the Laurel Line
tracks will be above Mooslc street If
the negotiations are successful. Two
other ways of entering the city prop
er are being considered. One Is to
run the line to the east end of the
Spruce street hrldge, then coming to
the central city over the tracks of
the Scranton Railway company. The
other Is to make a connection tylth
the tracks of the railway company in
South Scranton and enter by Adams
avenue.
The promoters of the new. com
pany are considering the different
plans. At present the selection of
an entrance by way of the Laurel
line is being considered in the most
favorable light. It is .probable that
no matter what selection 'of a route
is made, there will be a loop line, j
Present Indications are that the
route will be from Moscow through ,
lands in Elmhurst owned by W. P.
Boland, Col. L. A. Watres, Dr. G. E. '
Hill and Messrs. Davis and Bliss, the j
latter a large tract now being de-!
veloped Into building sites, thence
to the Laurel line and over that to
the Laurel line station or by tunnel
to Front street, Meadow street,
Mooslc, to the Spruce street bridge.
The route from the city will likely
be from the point where tho new
lino connects with the Laurel line
or from the Spruce street bridge to
Mooslc street, Stone avenue, Hem-i
lock street, South Irving avenue toj
Willow street, Crown avenue to Rlv-j
cr street, on to the back road and
Lake "Scranton by way of Snook's
addition, then on to the route to the
Clty.-j - ' .
Just as soon as jthe line is defin
itely decided on, an application will
.bo made to the Scranton city coun
cils for a charter and work may be
started this summer. It is hoped to
have It ready early next summer.

Encouraged by a statement made
by Justice Henry B. Coman that
there Is a question if tho defendant
is not entitled to a certificate of
reasonable doubt, and if a reversible
error was not made In the admission
of the books of Knapp Brothers In

Trial Cost u Bit of Money.
County Treasurer W. F. Sherwood
estimates the cost of the trial to the
taxpayers st Broome as about ?2,
000. This includes the cost of the
regular and extra panel of jurors,
which is believed to be about ?500,
and the salary of the 12 men on the
jury during the 10 days that the

sheriff's bill for serving the witnes
ses, it is thought, will be about ?100,

XEW YORK GOVERXOR BIDX'T
GIYE GHOST OF A SMILE WHEX !
TEDDY SLAPPED HIM OX BACK,
POLITICIANS WATCH MEET- '
IXG BETWEEX TWO "MEX OF '
THE MOMENT."
Boston, June 30. Politicians who !
closely watched tho meeting of Colonel I
Theodore Roosevelt with Charles E.
Hughes, governor of New York, at
Harvard university, are today com
paring notes. As a result some of them
broadly hint that Colonel Roosevelt
will probably not cut as wide a swath
with the Tnft administration and that
Governor Hdghes is tho more Influen
tial of the two men, In so far as the
president Is concerned.
Whon Colonel Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Hughes met Roosevelt was ef
fusive in his greetings and slapped
Hughes on the back. The two con
versed for nearly fifteen minutes while
awaiting the start of the procession.
Governor Hughes, however, failed to
respond in kind. He conversed cour
teously, but did not even smile.
It had been expected that additional
honor would be shown to Cohmel
Roosevelt by conferring upon himan
honorary degree. This was not done.
But among those who did receive de
grees were Governor Hughes and J.
Plerpont Morgan. x
Moet This Afternoon.
Beverly, Mass., Juno 30. President
Taft and Mr. Roosevelt will meet at
Burgess Point this afternoon. While
no official announcement of a confer
ence has been made, It is known that
the details have been arranged.
Whether Governor Hughes, who Is
at Cambridge today for the commence
ment exercises at Harvard university,
will participate in today's meeting Is
not certain. It Is understood that Sen
ator Lodge, who entertained Mr.
Roosevelt at his home In Nahant last
night, will accompany his guest to Bev
erly today.
v- These are some of the questions
which will come .up for consideration,
and which may be decided nt the con
ference:
Whether Theodore Roosevelt Is to'ln-
dorse the present administration- and
support President Taft for a renoiulnar
tlon.
Whether Governor Charles E.
Hughes is to surrender his place on
the United States supremo court bench
to accept a nomination for a third term
at Albany.
Whether Theodore Roosevelt Is to
shake the "big stick" in the face of an
"erring protege" nnd again enter the
political arena as a candidate for the
presidential nomination.
Republican leaders express apprehen
sion that the conference will disclose
the fact that from now on the presi
dent and Colonel Roosevelt will stand
for different policies and that Mr.
Taft will not consent to any Interfer
ence on the part of Mr. Roosevelt with
his administration. Such u split, in
the present critical state of Republic
an party affairs, these leaders say,
would Involve alarming consequences
from the standpoint of party welfare.
Cninbridge, Mass., Juno 30. In his
address before tho Phi Beta Kappa so
ciety of Harvard university this after
noon Governor C. E. Hughes of New
York discussed "Some Aspects of Out
Democracy."
Among other things he said:
"Wo need something more than the
growing sentiment of brotherhood;
something more than the recognition
of our mutual dependence, essential as
these are. To the tasks of democracy
the best thought and the most un
selfish effort of educated America must
be dedicated. To the men of Intel
lectual power, of trained ability, of
acumen and foresight, we must look
for something more than exhibitions
of shrewdness nnd skill In the man
agement of their Individual concerns,
for something more than proficiency
In tho promotion and conduct of enter
prise. From them we have a right to
expect unwavering loyalty to tho cause
of self government and a pride In un
selfish public service transcending the
pride, of individual achievement.
"Democracy cannot control Itself by
power or hold Itself In check by force.
Its victories must reflect the conquests
already won In tho individual life, and
it wH prosper only through the dis
cipline of virtue, tho common appre
ciation of Justice und the willingness
of Its members to devote themsolres
to thtypubllc weal."
Nahant, Mans., Jun 30. On the eve
of an Important political conference at
tho Rummer cap! to! in Beverly with
President Taft, Theodoro Roosevelt
and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge sat
up until midnight and talked over the
situation here.
Every entrance to Eastern Point, the
large estate of the senator, whero Colo
nel Roosevelt la stopping, was blocked
by a uniformed policeman.
Colonel Roosevelt's movements today
are being as carefully guarded as
though questions of vital Importance
to the aatlon are at stake,

HIGH OLD TIME AT THE TRAIN i
WHEN SHERIFF SHOWS UP
WITH WARRANT FOR FAKIR
WHO'D SKINNED MAN FROM
DAMASCUS OUT OF S.-..T "OX
TO CARBOXDALE."
Howe's London shows did not get
out of Honesdale without one little
mlxup that wasn't down on tho bills.
A bunch of the husky drivers and
tentmen the show carries tried to
mess things up with Sheriff M. Lee
Braman and did succeed in giving
the official a sort of a nervous 10
minutes, but he wasn't hurt.
The sheriff had a warrant for the
frog wheel man, the fakir following
the show, charging him with getting
553 from a Damascus farmer who
thought he could beat the wheel and
found, to his discomfiture and cost,
that he couldn't do any such thing.
The man the sheriff wanted Is not
a large man. He might weigh 140
pounds. When the sheriff Introduc
ed himself the little fellow got llppy
and said things to Braman.
One word brought on another and
the sheriff, according to tho story
of a majority of the bystanders
there was quite a crowd attracted
when the officer, with the local po
lice, held up the engineer was sur
rounded by at least a dozen circus
men. Some say they got his re
volver and kept it five minutes, when
it was returned to him. Sheriff Bra
man denies this. He says they
didn't get his gun. He admits they
got hold of his warrant and tore it
up.
When all this was done with, the
wheel man put his hand In his pock
et and beckoned to the man from
Damascus who lost the ?53.
"I'll give you ?20, old boy, and
call It square," he said. Mr. Da
mascus couldn't see It that. way.
The train finally got away about
two o'clock and took the circus to
Carbondale. An effort to get Divis
ion Supt. Burke of Carbondale on
the wire failed. The superintendent
was abed and asleep.
Sheriff Braman said yesterday he
couldn't see why such a fuss had
been made over so small an affair.
"They did tear my warrant," he
said, "but they didn't get my gun
away from me or knock me under
a car. Did the fellow they skinned
get his money back? I think he
got 30 out of It."
Most of Howe's drivers and tent
men are burly young men from
the west and southwest. Some of
them are from Oklahoma. The av
erage southwestern driver is a
lighting proposition and Sheriff Bra
man's friends think he ought to be
commended for the spunk he showed
in tackling the crowd.
Detective Nick Spencer was not In
the affair at all.
"They came after me," ho said,
"but I didn't have the case. I went
to bed at 10.45."
When the circus train finally got
under way, between 2 and 3, It
went to Carbondale, where two shows
yere pulled off Wednesday. The
Leader of that city called Howe's a
good circus. Some Honesdale peo
ple thought It might pass in a
'crowd, but a good many were heard
to remark that the Japanese acro
bats were the best part of it and
that without them the performance
would have been a bit tame.
Eric Gntemen Must Use Whistle.
C. D. Taylor, superintendent of the
Susquehanna division of tho Erie,
has Issued a new order which makes
it Imperative for tho crossing watch
man to blow a whistle when he low
ers tho gates. Each watchman has
been furnished with n whistle, to
gether with a copy of order No.
2,301, which reads as follows:
"Tho whistle furnished you Is the
property of tho Erlo Railroad com
pany, and Is loaned to you, to bo
used when flagging or lowering the
gates at a crossing, to notify tho
public of approaching trains, and
that the crossing is closed. When
leaving the service you will turn
over tho whistle with other proper
ty." GOV. FERN AID RENOMINATED
Republican Platform Opposes Another

Augusta, Mo., Juno SO. The Repub
licans renominated Governor Bo. M.
Fernald and State Auditor Obarlea P
Hatch, both by acclamation. Regard
lng national affairs, the platform op
poses another general revision of the
tariff.
Forest Fire Cheoked.
Deadwood, S. D., Juno 80. Using
over a hundred of the idle union min
ers from Lead, tho forest servloo offi
cials have succeeded In getting the
forest flro before Mystic under control.
The lire burned over aa area of about
80Q acres of tho best Umber In the

people will go to Lake Ariel and
Lake Lodore.
Dealers say tho sale of crackers
and other noisy stuff for tho small
boys' Fourth has been up to the
average.
Local pulpits are likely to have a
word on patriotic subjects Sunday,
but only one Honesdale dominie has
up to today employed printer's Ink

pendence Day."
GRIM REALLY WILL RUN.
Bucks County Senutor Talks as
Though He Expected to bo Elected.
A dispatch from Doylestown, the
candidate's home, says:
State Senator Webster Grim, Dem
ocratic nominee for governor, Issued
a statement today In which he de
clared his Intention of accepting the
nomination when formally tendered.
He declares only three of the dele
gates to the Allentown convention
had written to him suggesting that
the convention be recalled. All of
thorn had voted for Berry.
"It has become quite apparent."
said Senator Grim, "that the dissat
isfaction and demand tor a recall
emanated almost entirely from the
desire 'to have Mr. Berry nominated.
That Issue was settled fairly and
unanimously in the convention."
Mr. Grim states that while he has
received about a dozen letters from
frlendB of Mr. Berry assigning vari
ous reasons why the. latter should
be nominated, he has received a
much larger number of letters from
other Democrats declaring the ticket
named is the only one under the
circumstances that could offer hope
of success.
Tho statement draws attention to
Mr. Grlm's record on reform legis
lation and declares promoters of the
third party movement are secret al
lies of the "Penrose machine."
He declares he had no knowledge
of Mr. MunjfUi's intended
drawaLuniiaBBl made
