The Greater Honesdnle Board of
Trade at Friday night's meeting
adopted with some slight revisions
the constitution and bylaws drafted
by the committee appointed some
time ago for that purpose. Of this i
committee M. E. Simons Is chair
man, but a legal appointment de-1
tained him and he sent in the com- 1
mittec's copy by J. B. Nielson.
The report was passed on section
by section and this took a good deal
of time, but the bylaws are now out
of the way and Friday night's job ,
will not have to be repeated. (
Rfiforn thn nipptlntr pnileil snven 1
members walked up to Secretary
Callaway and paid their dues. Mr.
Nielson was the first man to hand
the secretary a 2 bill and the
other six were right on his heels.
The salary of the secretary was fixed
at $50 a year and he was told he
would be 'expected to file a bond,
amount to be fixed later. The treas
urer will also be bonded.
One of the interesting subjects
taken up at this meeting was the
proposition of Chairman Leopold
Blumenthal of the press committee
that Honesdale have a tag day.
"You could buy these tags in
wholesale quantity," said Mr. Blum
enthal, "and they would cost about
5 cents apiece. We, could have the
words 'Greater Honesdale' put on
them and they would sell for a
quarter apiece. We could get the
ladles interested in the selling of
tags and It ought to be possible to
clear up from ?500 to $700 easy."
Mr. Nielson said the tags ought to
have a picture of the Sturbrldge
Lion on them.
Mr. Blumenthal thought "Great
er Honesdale" would be enough.
The secretary was told to write ,
Whitehead & Hoag, the Newark 1
buttonmakers, for samples and
prices. I
II ffaS's'agge"tea""that Labor day
ought to be tag day. Mr. Blum-i
enthal demurred to that. He fav-,
ored one of the days of the Wayne 1
county fair. On a fair day, he said,
from 3,000 to 4,000 people could be
tagged.
President Smith said that he
had been In Scranton and that while
there the Board of Trade secretary
had told him about the big indus
trial fair Scranton is to hold In
October. Honesdale industries, Mr.
Smith said, might find It a good plan
to be represented. On this same
Scranton trip, Mr. Smith added, he
had seen Division Passenger Agent
George E. Bates of the D. & H., who
said that road's Industrial agent
would be very glad to Join the
Greater Honesdale Board of Trade, I
as he is a member of about all the ,
local boosting bodies in his terri-1
tory and could be helpful to this '
one.
It was voted to thank the general
passenger agent of the Erie for the
through New York train and in the
same letter to notify him that when
he wants any Honesdale help to com
municate with the Board.
The membership committee, hith
erto made up of three men, was
amplified to seven. President Smith
appointed the extra four without de
lay. The committee now comprises
John Erk, J. B. Nielson, William
Katz, James Robinson, E. H. Pohle,
Charles Bentley and E. B. Callaway,
ex-olllcio. They started on their
canvass Monday morning and every
business and professional man will
be Invited to join now, when the
dues are only $2. January 1 they
may be Increased.
When the matter of new Indus
tries came up E. H. Pohle said
Jacob Beck would give any concern
locating here a lot 1C4 feet front
for $1. This lot Is opposite the Erie
pockets, 75 feet from tho track, and
near the D. & H. switch.
Friday night there will be another
mass meeting. At that time the res
olution tablod Friday night asking
the Board to advocate another ho
tel on Irving cliff may be called up.
This resolution was drafted by a
man who thinks Honesdale's only
chance to grow la by attracting a
great deal of high-priced summer
trade and who Is certain another
cliff hotel would do a lot to boost
the population and Importance of
Honesdale.

wounded on board the steamer Kais

The mayor was taken to St. Mary's

decided as to whether his condition
will permit an examination. He Is
conscious and has said to the doc
tors: "Tell me the worst. I want to
know if I'm to live or die."
The steamboat police grabbed Gal

REED RETAINS

Man Charged with Killing Sike
Lord Has Talk With Charles A.

Lord9s Lawyers Won't Be
Ready Until January.
f. pr-
Sam Reed has a new lawyer. Hel
saw Charles A. McCarty Monday In I
the cell at tho Jail and retained him
to defend him at the trial In October.
Sam was very certain his case could
be gotten in shape for the October
term and Mr. McCarty, when seen
this morning at his office, said:
"Sam will Insist on being tried at
the next term of court."
The grand jury sits Oct. 17. The
court commences one week later.
Mr. McCarty got home from Big
pond Monday on the 1.50 train over
I the Erie. He had been away from
I his olllce since Friday. On his desk
there was a note from Reed, asking
the lawyer to call at the jail and
see him. Mr. McCarty had consid
erable work that had accumulated
during his absence, but he shoved
that one side and went to see Sam.
They talked for an hour or there
abouts about the light July 12 at
Equlnunk the fight in which Slke
Lord received his death wounds
from a hoe and a pickaxe. At the
close of their Interview Mr. McCar
ty told Sam he would call again
Tuesdny or Wednesday to dig a good
deal deeper Into the details of the
tragedy.
"Sam," said Mr. McCarty this
morning, "seems to be a pretty
bright sort of a fellow and ho talks
rationally about the affair. He ex
presses the deepest contrition and re
gret over the fatal row at Equlnunk.
He says he never meant to kill Slke
Lord; that ho had no prejudice or
Little Girl Asks Doctor For Ruby.
Two little girls knocked at the
door of a Honesdnle doctor the other
day.
"We want a baby," one of them
said.
"Black baby or white baby?"
queried the facetious doctor.
"Whlto baby," said tho girl that
had asked the first question.
"What kind you want?" he asked
her companion.
"I don't care nbout either," was
tho answer be got from her.
"Well," said the medical man,
with all tho gravity be could com
mand. "I'm all out of babies, I
haven't a white baby or a black
baby around the place. Como around
In a week and I'll have one for you

was led into the thing through gal-
lantry, for he was going to marry
Leona Lord.
"I shall see him again, perhaps
not today, but certainly tomorrow.
"He has all the papers that contain
stories of the affair, and he has them
so sorted and arranged that he can
turn very quickly to the one he
wants. He showed all these to me
and, of course, made his comments
on them all."
This was all Mr. McCarty would
say, but he Intimated that It was a
blunder to suppose W. H. Lee and
Frank P. Kimble, Leona Lord's
lawyers, were acting for Sam all
along.
"Sam said his friends told him
he'd better get another lawyer,"
said he, "so he sent for me to go and
see him, and I went."

securely attached to an Iron ring
on the bridle of said horse, and the
said Anna May Fives was seated In
said carriage; that large curtains
were attached to tho top of said
automobile, at the sides and the
rear, which should have been so
secured as to prevent them from

servants, rapidly drove or ran the
said automobile northward on said
street, toward and past the said
horse and carriage, and unneces-
i sarily near the same, with the said
! curtains, through the defendant's
negligence, so Improperly and In
