IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
TRUSTEES or THE COMMON CON-
SlDER COMMITTEE REPORT.

THE BOARD THOUGHT BEST TO |
EXCLUDE REPORTERS - FAR
MERs MAKE STATEMENTS.
President James G. Shaw, of the New
Castle Water Works Company, was
present at the special meeting of New
Castle Common Trustees last evening,
for the first time since the memorable
night when the trustees cut off all ne
gotiations with the water company. Dr.
Black presided and the the other mem
bers present were Messrs. Mahoney,
Challenger, Dalby, McGrory, Ferris,
Morrison, Toman and Wise.
George w. Morrison and William b.
Mccoy had interviews with the board
concerning the farms of which they
are the tenants Mr.. Mccoy addressed
the board at length on the action in
raising the rent of Penn farm, which
he occupies He stated that the land
there is thin, but with the aid of the
trustees he had been able to improve
the farm, but nearly all the other
farms owned by the trustees were in a
much better state of cultivation. Corn
and oats, he said, were miserably low
in price, and wheat had only taken a
! temporary rise.
Mr. Morrison offered a resolution
) that the motion TO raise the rent 81 an
acre on Penn farm be reconsidered.
After a long debate the resolution was
carried
A spirited debate arose over the sug-
gestion of Mr. Maboney that the report
of she special committee on New cas-
! tie Water Company suits be considered
i'm private. Mr.. Challenger began @
strong objection to compelling the
newspaper correspondents to retire
claiming that the public had q right G,
know every transaction of the board
There had been too many executive
sessions for The good of the people
whose moneys the board handled.
Mr.. Rodney replied that there were
other members of the board who haC
regulations TO maintain beside Mr.
Challenger No man or set of mer
woud ever dream of consulting counse
in a law suit and then making every
transaction public before the suit came
up. The public Of course, had a righ
to know results, but as regards the
consultations relating to the cOnduc
of a trial, they must be kept as private
business.
Mr.. Challenger replied that there ha,
been too much privacy in this board
and the public was tired of it, He of
fered a resolution to allow the report
ers to remain, and stated that the pub
lie had been kept in the dark all alonl
in this water company transaction.

Chicago Labor Congress Nominate Him
After . Lengthy Debate
CHICAGO, May 1a.-Eugene " Debs
was nominated for the presidency of
the United States by the Chicago La
Dor congress yesterday. The resolu-
ton provoked q discussion which con-
sumed three hours, but it was finally
adopted by q slight majority.
1t was recited in the res Olution that,
as the corporations, syndicates and
trusts are seeking to have pa esidential
candidates nominated who are in
sympathy with the existing order of
industrial things, labor, organized
and nnorganized, should be equally
solicitous that q man be nominated
who is known to be friendly to work
ers and wealth producers. The con-
gress expressed the belief that Eugene
v. Debs is best fitted to become the
leader of the industrial classes.
