THE TRIBUNE-REPUBLICAN
TROUBLE.
AV. II. Peck nnd J. T. PorW Appoint
ed Temporary Receivers.
William H. Peck, president of the
Third National bank, Scranton, and
John T. Porter, president of the
Traders National bank. Scranton,
were appointed receivers of the Trib
une Publishing company Tuesday
morning by tho Hon. C. B. Wltmer,
judge of tho United States court, up
on the bill in equity filed against tho
company by Edward A. Whitehouse,
of Newark, N. J., its Becretary-treas-urer.
They will enter upon their du
ties as soon as a joint bond in the
sum of $50,000 is filed.
In making tho appointment Judge
Witmer said it was to bo temporary
until next Friday morning, when a
rule will bo returnable upon the
Tribune company to show cause why
the appointment should not bo made
permanent.
The appointment was made orally
from the bench. Aftor George C.
Schouer, Esq., clerk of the court.
had handed him up the papers in the
case, Judge Witmer said: "In the
case of Edward A. Whitehouse
against the Tribune Publishing Co.,
have concluded, after giving tho
matter serious consideration, to ap
point temporary receivers, and at
tho samo time will grant a rule upon
the defendant company, returnable
next Friday morning at 11 o'clock
to show cause why the appointments
should not be made permanent.
"I am satisfied there is urgent
need of a receiver, that something
may bo done to conserve the Inter
ests of this property, and have de
cided to appoint two men instead of
three, because two can get along
much better than three. This is no
reflection at all upon Mr. Moore, the
other gentleman suggested by the
creditors.
"But Mr. Moore does not live in
Scranton and tho two men I have
named do. They are financiers of
high character, and while they may
not know a great deal about the
newspaper business they will be able
to . employ men who do, and if tho
men they put In charge of the actual
running of the paper do not prove
satisfactory they have the power to
remove them at any time without tho
least embarrassment, and in that
way the business can be conducted by
tiiem. Besides, two receivers are
less expensive than three. The clerk
will give notice to counsel to prepare
formal decree. If I am satisfied
that I am wrong in my conclusion I
still have the opportunity of making
an additional appointment. Let the
clerk give notice to counsel to xre-
pare a decree and the receivers be
directed to preparo and file a joint
bond in the sum of ?50,000."
As soon as the receivers file their
bond they can step in and take
charge of tho paper. It will have to
bo approved by the court first, and
that will have to be done either at
Willlamsport or Sunbury. Judge
Witmer is anxious that it be at
tended to at once, so that they can
take charge not later than Thursday
morning.
It is said tho reason he did not
name Guy Moore, of the Wilkes-Bar-
re Record, was because he thought
Messrs. Peck and Porter would bo
apt to defer to him, as a newspaper
man with successful experience, and
mereby subordinate their judgment
to his, but that there is nothing to
stop them from getting tho benefit
of his advice and co-operation if they
think it is necessary.
LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.
The Honesdale Improvement As
sociation wish to thank all who took
so active an Interest in "Clean-up
Week" and- hope that they will con
tinuo the good work.
There still remains much to be
done. Every man, woman and child
is needed, to keep our town clean
and sanitary. If tho children would
kindly refrain from throwing papers
in the street the effect would be
noticeable. We especially appeal to
the women to help us keep the river
banks in a cleaner and more sanitary
condition; if they must throw tin
cans and kitchen refuse into the riv
er, to throw it far out Into the deep
water where u win not anora
breeding place for tiles and mos
quitoes. "Swat the fly" is good but
to remove tho cause of evil Is better.
No one should expectorate on the
walks, nor allow others to do so. If
absolutely necessary, use the gutter,
unuuren oounciiig uuuh uuu mar
bles, come in contact with the sput
um and it Is conveyed to their hands
and clothing; or may be carried to
our homos on the soles of the shoes.
In time some particles get in the air
ana are breathed into the lungs,
causing serious trouble.
COURT NOTES
B. F. Blake, constable of Bethany

first constable to include this in his
quarterly return.

Mary Deltzer vs. Thomas Farrell

Ian, attorneys for defendant, the
Court granted a rule to show cause
why writ issued in the action should
not be abated and action discon
tinued. Made returnable second
Monday of May, with notice to Searle
& Salmon, attorneys for plaintiff.
The reason for the granting of the
rule is that the Hawley Coal company
is not a partnership or Joint stock

the laws of Pennsylvania, and de
fendants are not co-partners.

DIES OF OLD AGE
THOUGH ONLY SLX.
Child, White Haired nnd Wrinkled,
Victim of an Unusual Disease.
Cleveland, O. Rosle Gryelck is
dead of "old age," though her sev
enth birthday was not until next
August.
Tho little girl's hair was as gray
as that of an aged woman and many
other characteristic changes, which
appear with the passing of middle
life, accompanied the progress of the
rare malady which caused her
death. Her steps were faltering, and
her hands were withered, while
wrinkles lined her face.
Her parents and her younger sis
ters had become accustomed to these
changes. So had some of the neigh
bors. Coroner Byrno visited tho home
after the child's death and reiterated
tho statement that she died of "old
ago."
Raymund's disease was given as
the cause of death. This unusual
affection, as medical textbooks show,
is named after Dr. Maurice Ray
mund, who first described it in 18C2.
It has its seat in tho heart and re
sults In a diminished flow of blood to
the lungs.
any week may exceed 54 but phall
not exceed 58, provided that the tot
al number of hours shall not ex
ceed an average of 54 hours a week
for the whole year, exclusive Sun
days and holidays." 1
Strong testimony was produced
beforo both Senato and Houte Com
mittees against inserting a class ex
emption in the Child Labor Bill. It
was shown that boys were employed
in this Industry at night work, and ,
the bill, as originally drawn, sped-,
flcally forbade this. The Glass Manu- 1
facturers, however, won their point .
with the committee and an amend- j
ment prevailed exempting the glass '
Industry from the operation of the 1
child labor law.
An important provision of tho
Woman's Labor bill which aimed to
assure childhood or a small portion 1
or its birthright, has also been tam
pered with by the committee, Tho
bill provided that no mother should
bo allowed to return to the factory
for a period of four weeks after
child-birth. This clause has been
cut out by tho "Caterers to Special
Privilege" and nothing has been
left in the law to protect a mother
from' being driven back to the fac
tory the day after child-birth if she
is physically able to get there.

KILLED BY AMENDMENT.'
The Walnut Child Labor bill, as
passed by the House, provided for an
eight hour day and a 48-hour week
for working children. The bill as
amended this week by the Senate
committee established a 10-hour day
and 54-hour week. An "elastic" pro
vision bears down still harder upon
childhood by providing "a different
apportionment of hours of labor may
be made for the sole purpose of
making a shorter day's work for one
day of the week, but in no case shall
the hours of labor exceed 54 In a
week, except that In such establish
ments where the employment Is by
seasons, tho number of such hour in
What to do with the doubles of our
Dx-presldents Ii:is been determined in
the case of Thomas J. Morley, retired
police sergeant of Pittsburgh, who
looks so much like William n. Taft
that when Mr. Taft saw him the for
mer president fairly gasped in nstoii
ishment. Tom will descant on the ravages of
the demon rum. He will lecture to
railroad men under the auspices of the
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroad in ,
connection with the nation wido "safe
ty first" campaign.
"I wrestled with drunks more than
twenty years in the big police station
in Pittsburgh," said Morley, "and now
I am going to wrestle with the evil it
self." Morley is built for wrestling.
Ho is physically and mentally fitted
for it.
"If ever u man had experience with
drink, either ns its devotee or an ob
server, I think I am that man. I have
attended funerals of my former pals
and associates who died from the ef
fects of strong drink. About fifteen
years ago I was almost down as a re
sult of It, but I made up my mind that
devotion to drink nnd neglect'of family
wero mistakes and beneath a real man,
so I cut them out."
Morley is more than fifty years old,
possesses a good stage appearance, has
a deep voice nnd in addition to a good
memory has a natural knack of "put
ting across" what ho has to say.
General Manager Yoho of the Pitts
burgh and Lako Erie beard in a round
about way of Morleys ambition and
realized tho power for good a man like
Morley would be to a corporation.
As a result, through L. H. Turner,
superintendent of motlvo power of tho
road, Tom Morley will make his debut
on the temperance platform before
several hundred of the road's employ
ees In Groveton, O., in tho near future.
