CONVENTION OF THE THIRD.
II Will Nc Held In tho Arbitration Room
on April 10.

The Republican standing committee
of the Third Legislative district met In
the court house yesterday afternoon
and decided to hold the district conven-
tion for the purpose of electing a state
delegate in the arbitration room Of the
court house on Thursday, April 16. The
primaries will be held on the preceding
Tuesday.
The members of the committee who
attended yesterdays meeting were:
Dalton, Giles Roberts; Lackawanna,
South district, William Thomas; Lack
awanna, East district, Zack Gray;
Lnckawanna. West district. John Nc
Crindle; Lackawanna, Southwest dis
trict. Adam Fasshold; Newton, ]. D..
Hopkins; Old Forge, First district, j.
Willis Reese: Scranton, Sixth ward,
Third district. William r. Jones; Tay-
lOr, Second ward, DR.. ]. w. Houser;
Taylor. Fourth ward. William p. Grif-
fiths; La Plume, r. H. Holgate. John
McCrindle was chairman and DR.. Hous-
err. secretary.
The motion to select the above men,
toned dates for the primaries and con-
vention was made by DR., Houser and
wes unanimously concurred in. After
the task of fixing the date had been
accomplished DIR. Houser called the at
tention of the members of the commit
tee to the corrupt use OF money In the
district.
ITS no use In being mealy-mouthed
about this matter" said the doctor.
"for It's quite generally understood
that Doodle is extensively used in the
district. Candidates for the legisla-
ture know that a Republican nomina-
tion is usually equivalent to an election
and many who have aspired to legis-
lative honors can testify that 1t Is not
always the man who has the majority
Of the delegates elected for him who Is
nominated. I think 1t is time we put
the stamp of our disapproval on the
corrupt practices that have been toll
Grated in the past"
Chairman McCrindle also thought
that something should be done but
did not suggest a remedy or a way to
bring about a reform. James Il. Wat
kins thought the matter should be
brought to the attention of the coming
convention when the committee on res
olutions could bring in report that
would express the sentiments or the
voters of the district on the matter.
DR.. Houser remarked that resolutions
were all right in their way but that
in this occasion something stronger
was needed. No definite action on the
matter was taken and the meeting ad-
joIlrned

WILL SIGN THE MILLS BILL.
Controller Robinson Secures an Opinion
from the City Solicitor.

When the resolution directing the
fiscal city officers to draw a warrant
for $3.50 for the payment Of ex-Police
Officer Thomas Mills was presented to
City Controller Robinson for his sigma
ture yesterday he referred the claim to
the city solicitor for an opinion as to
the legality Of the bill. City Solicitor
Torrey reiterated the views expressed
in his former opinion, In which he held
that Mills was entitled to pay for the
time elapsing between his suspension
and.the confirmation Of his removal by
select council, and on the strength of
this the controller decided to counter
sign the warrant.
This he will probably do today and
the ex-ofIlcer will get a $3.50 gift for be-
ing investigated.
