AN INJUNCTION.
The County Commissioners to Be Re.
strained hy Law.


Counsel representing number of
| prominent citizens and heavy tax
payers yesterday took the first step
| toward petitiontng the court for a pre-
liminary injunction restraining the
| county commissioners from awarding
the contracts for the erection OF a new
court house under the plans of Archi-
tect Myers. 1t was impossible to learn
full particulars last evening, but one
| of the attorneys representing the pc
titioners assured The Tribune repre-
| sentative that the proceeding was
fairly under way. This action was
certain to be taken. Public sentiment
demands that the county commission
ers be restrained in their crazy project
of awarding contracts for a court house
on plans that would cost a million
dollars. when they have not even a
site on which to erect the proposed
building.
The court will respect public senti-
ment and bring the commissioners to
their senses. 1t can safely be pre-
dicted that the present board of county
commissioners will not commence the
erection of q new court house on the
Myers plans or any others. They have
already squandered more than $4,000
end will have TO pay Architect Myers
$4,000 more under his iron-clad con-
tract. but the court will save the tax
payers from any further waste of their
money by the present board. Next
year the people will elect three men
as county commissioners who can be
safely entrusted with the work of
erecting such new court house as
the county requires. In the meantime
il Is necessary to tie the hands OF
the present board OF reckless commits
sionerg. The first step in that direc-
tion was taken yesterday.

THE CONSTABLES REPORT.
The Liquor Laws Are Being Strictly Oh.
served in Luzerue.

On Monday the constables of the
county made their periodical reports.
1t is needless to say that the argus
eyed representatives of law and order
had no unpleasant duty to perform. In
their several and respective bailiwicks
the liquor laws have been respected,
and they had no knowledge of any
violations of the provisions of the
Brooks act. If the returns made by the
constables were .rue there would be
cause for sincere congratulation. The
fact, however. is that II the cOnstables
of the several cities towns and villages
of LuZerne county really have no
knowledge of violations of the liquor
laws in their bailiwicks the conclusion
is inevitable that they are wilfully
Ignorant; they make no effort to ac-
quire knowledge.
Some constables have been known to
excuse and Justify themselves in the
plea that when they do return violat-
ors of the liquor laws the grand jury
either ignores the bills, or, when true
bills are found, trial ends in acquittal.
While this Is true in many cases it does
not justify constables in making re-
turns which they know are not true
There are, or in the past have been, not
less than five hundred places in this
county where LIQUOR was sold without
the formality of a license. But the con-
stables say they do not know where
any of these places are located. Lii
censed dealers know where they are,
but the average licensed dealer does
not care to give information.

CEMETERY SERVICES.
An Understanding Reached Between the
G A. X. and Cemetery Officials.


Some time ago the official board Of
Hollenback Cemetery association called
attention to the damage done at the
cemetery by the crowd that usually as
sembled there on Memorial Day, and
they would not permit services to be
held there except the decorating of the
graves. This creating good deal Of
feeling. 1t is now stated that the
usual services will be held, but an effort
will be made to keep out of the ceme-
terry all persons except those connected
with the Grand Army organizations
and such other organized bodies as par
ticipate in the parade. In this way It is
hoped the trampling of the grass and
other damage and DETACHMENT to the
graves will be reduced to a minimum.
The Grand Army posts evince q dispo-
sition to meet the managers of the
cemetery half way and avoid all cause
for complaint such as has been heard
in the past. The proper observance of
Memorial Day will in no wise be marred
by the adoption of the course indicated.
The members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic are all reasonable men, and
will not lay themselves open to unrea-
sonable criticism. The managers of
Hollenback cemetery, too. are fair and
liberal men who have no desire to inter-
fere with the proper observance of Me-
mortal Day.

GIVE THE DETAILS.
Importing Foreigners to DO Work While
Our Own People Arc Idle.

Sewer contractors now doing extensive
work in this city are importing foreigners.
Why do they not give Wikes-Barres un-
employed work. The people of this city
pay the taxes and Wilkes-Barre should
reap the benefit of municipal work. There
are plenty of men in town who would be
glad to work anywhere.-Wilkes-B Barre
Record.
II the above Is true the Record fails
In its duty when 1t withholds all de-
tails. Who are the contractors doing
extensive work for the municipality,
who bring foreigners here to do the
work while hundreds of our own people
are idle and would be only too glad for
the opportunity to earn money for the
support of their families? Let our re-
spected contemporary give the names
OF the contractors, the probable num-
Der of foreigners brought here by them,
and in what manner they were secured.
The entire community Is Interested in
putting q stop to that kind of business.
Contracts are usually awarded on a
basis that enables contractors to pay
decent living wages for labor and the
workingmen resident in this city ought
TO have the preference. This Is only
justice to the community. If labor can
not be secured here then no fault can
be found with the contractors for seek
Ing 1t elsewhere. But, first, let US have
the names Of the contractors who are
guilty as alleged by the Record to-
gether with other details.

PITTST0N.

The West Pittston borough council
convened Monday evening at the town
hall. Engineer Collins has been inves-

| on the north side OF Luzerne avenue,

The street commissioner was ordered
| to give notice ITO such property holders
TO remove their fences 10 the proper

| citizens applied for building permits,
which were granted to s. A. Urquhart,
for addition to house: Mrs. Browning,

ordered that sewer contractors, Messrs.
Acock Il Son. be paid $1,000 on account,
which was done. 1t was also ordered
that the sewer bonds be reprinted In
denominations of $500, with interest at
8 per cent. The present bonds at per

WHAT THE CHIEF SAYS.
lie Never Docs Anything in Hurry
Will Act Later


Chief of Police Briggs admitted to q
News-Dealer reporter that he had re-
ceived a communication from the
mayor requesting him to make for
NAL complaint against a certain notorl-
Gus bawdy house and also against q
well-known speak-easy. The chief
added that he never acted in such eases
until he had made thorough investiga-
tton and was convinced that action
was warranted. He says the two houses
alluded to will be attended 10 in good
time and in accordance with the law.
The character of the houses to which
the mayor has called the attention of
the chief is so notorious that 1t is rather
surprising the chief of police requires
time to make investigation. The chief
and the officers on whose beats these
houses are located ought to be better
informed than anybody else c0ncernirg
their character, but they pretend 20 Ee
very ignorant on the subject There
are some cities in this commonwealth
where such ignorance would be deemed
abundant cause for the removal of the
officers and the substituting of brighter
and more effective men. If Mayor
Nichols had the power mayors Of
other cities WELD there would be

porter that he had been misrepresent-
ed, and that his past reputation as an
officer and citizen was sufficient guar

IDENTIFY he deems 1t to be his first duty
to obey the police committee of coun-
ell, and as he would doubtless be
promptly removed by the committee If
he co-operated with the mayor, he has
some excuse. With him it is a ques-
ton of obeying the police committee or
losing his office. If the committee
would intimate to him that he might
safely make complaint against the
houses referred to he would do so at
once. Greater blame, therefore, at
taches to the committee than to the
chief of police. To the latter it Is
matter of bread and butter. He sim
ply stands in with the powers that be.
If he were subject to the mayor he
would stand in with that official,
