THAT SECRET MEETING.
some Inside Facts Showing How Gag
Rule Ia AuuIfed

HuIe Is Applied.
In regard to his action at the School
Board meeting Thursday night, Mr.. Black
ledge made the following statement last
night:
"The editorial of yesterdays News is
The rules OF the boar1 provide that the
committee on teachers and salaries shall
submit list OF teachers 10 the board. to be
such committee OF the whole shall report

and the assistant, and the rule Is 10 exam

Shortly after the committee began its
session. at an early hour I'm the evening
and before the list had been more than one
third canvassed. and the work yet uncon-
plete, Mr.. Adam moved that the committee
rise. / strongly urged that we continue un-
til the work was finished, and voted against
an adjournment. The motion. however,
was carried. When the committee met as a
board. on June Ill. the chairman submitted
his report recommending the adoption of
the entire list including the portion which
had not been considered at all in which
portion was the name of Mrs. Williams
The majority in committee further
passed resolution that all lists prepared
for commissioners should be filed with the
superintendent, 20 be held by him between
the meetings. No opportunity. therefore
was given IN committee to propose any
amendment concerning Mrs. Williams and

DOESN'T WANT A DOG CHECK.
Even the Yellow Ribbon Does Not
Please Mr.. Clark's Fancy.

Controller Johnson was not in earnest,
it seems. and did not really mean what he
said when he agreed to furnish councilmen
with last years dog tags in lieu of the
badges proposed by Councilman Clark The
latter. seeing in the dog-tag proposition his
only hope of getting distinguishing trophy
that would enlighten people who were not
aware Of his official position. called on Con-
troller Johnson yesterday afternoon TO
learn If he would furnish brass tags with
yellow ribbons to councilmen free OF charge
was true. Mr.. Johnson informed the father
of the badge ordinance that the story was
hoax. Then Mr.. Clark got real mad and
tried 10 find the man who started the story.
Somebody, who evidently wanted TO see a
fight, told Mr. Clark that the story was
coined out of whole cloth by Journal re-
porter. Mr.. Clark expressed his opinion
about newspaper men VINO would write such
stories without authority and made dire
threats of having the reporter brought be-
fore the Common Council for contempt
The reporter was warned that he would
have a delegation of angry councilmen
down his ears If she remained in the
courthouse basement the rest of the after
noon, but no other councilman was seen
except Mr.. Golfer who smiled when Martin
Murphy came uD and told the story.

THE TIDE TURNS.
johnson Was In Fine Form and Received
Brilliant Support-Latham, Mcguire
isld Rafferty, Play Great Ball.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Syracuse, May 23.-Scranton won the
game from the leaders today through
inability to hit Johnson and because
OF Moss two errors. Both Johnson
and Whitehill were in good form. but
Johnson pitched altgether the better
game. In spite of this had the Stars
shortstop not made his two fumbles,
two of the three runs by which Scran-
ton won the game would not have
come in.
Mcguire played a quick, snappy game
at short. Latham played a good game
at third, but was not accurate in his
throwing. He made one timely hit,
which scored run. Johnson had the
Stars at his mercy from the start.
Minahan's double followed by Carey's
single, scored their only run.
Rafferty, did bold and timely hitting
for Scranton and he caught good
game.
STARS DESPERATE EFFORTS.
The Stars made desperate effort
In the NINTH, when Reilly got hit, stole
second on Rafferty's error, but got out
on an attempt to reach third. The
fielding features Of the game were the
great work Of Reilly and Garry.
The Scrantons piayed a good, ging-
cry game. generally clean and snappy,
If not brilliant. Latham has added
ginger to the team by his coaching and
base running. The Scrantons won the
game on its merits. They got six hits
In the first three innings without scor-
ing.
Harper, owing to the kick from ko-
chester that he must play there ii any
where in the league, will probably not
wear Scranton uniform early.
