THEY REFUSE TO CONFIRM.
Police Committee Oppose Appoint.
ment Of John FitzsimmOns.


Though the appointment of John
Fitzsimmons to the police force carries
with it no removal, being to fill the va
cancy caused by the resignation of JO-
seph Taylor, the police committee re-
fuses to confirm him.
Four of the committee met last night.
Mr.. McAndrew, the fifth member be-
Ing absent, and without discussion
voted to recommend that the appoint
ment be not confirmed. Mr.. Finn, Mr..
Wagner and Mr.. Chittenden, who is
serving on the committee In place of
Mr.. Lansing, who has gone to Europe.
made the majority. Mr.. Coyne cast the
single favorable vote
Whether or not a minority report will
be submitted will not be known until Mr..
Coyne can consult with his Democratic
colleague on the committee. Mr.. Mean
drew. Mr.. Finn said that if they decide
to make minority report he, as chair
man of the committee. will agree to
present 1t with the majority report.
The Republican members say that
their action has no political significance
and that they refuse to favor the ap-
pointment because they have been ap-
preached by prominent Democrats with
the request that they would not make
favorable report.
In the light of this opposition to Fitz-
simmons from his own party they con-
cluded to report unfavorably and leave
the matter to councils to decide.

Chief of Police. Scranton:
Two bicycles stolen from here last night.
Thieves just passed Clark's Summit. one
of them named Wilmot. Riding them to-
ward Scranton. Hold and advise.
Sidney Mack.
Immediately upon receipt of the tele-
gram Chief Robling dispatched Detec-
tive Dyer and Clerk Simpson, the for
mer on horseback, the latter mounted
on his bicycle, with instructions to push
up the Arlington turnpike and meet the
thieves.
AS they We're dashing along Provi
dence road near the ball park. simpson
in the lead and Dyer gallopng behind
at a breakneck speed, they came across
the two men pushing their wheels to-
ward the central city. one of them hav-
ing punctured his tire. From their
travel-stained appearance the officers
readily recognized them as the men
wanted. AS Simpson was spinning past
them one of the pair shouted, Go it,
young fellow; he's after you!" and then
the wheelman and horseman wheeled
about at almost the same instant and
bore down upon them.
"Is your name Wiliams?" Simpson
asked of the larger of the pair.
mo, my names not Williams; it's
WILL
"Wilmot," suggested the officer, when
the former hesitated.
Yes, it's Wilmot, and I'm not
ashamed of It,"
well, you and your friend here are
wanted at headquarters, 50 just push
along ahead"
At the examination they gave their
names as Clel and Arthur Wilmot and
stated that they were brothers, hall
ing from Hallstead. They denied hav-
ing stolen the wheels but the younger
brother, Arthur. admitted that the
wheel he rode had been purchased for
s11 from man whom they had met on
the road that morning. Clel says that
he has owned his wheel since last fall.
While he was in Jail at Montrose
awaiting trial on the charge of stealing
buffalo robe a man In Hallstead who
thought the wheel was one which had
been stolen from him took it from
where Wilmot had left it before going
to Jail. On his release Wilmot went to
this mans house and got his wheel, just
how he doesn't clearly explain. Word
of their capture was sent to Hallstead.

pies today. For a long time while the
Cedar avenue mission of the First Pres
byterian church was struggling to OBJ
tain a place for itself he occupied its
pulpit and lent great assistance in maxi

AS an educator he has been equally
as successful, as the, prominence en-
joyed by the School of the Lackawanna
amply testifies.

MIDSUMMER HATS.
Large Brims VIII BE in Favor for tho

Large Lcghorn ilats from rs cents to
tour dollars apiece are plentiful after
the first of June OF course, at the
first price they are not the genuine
italian straw, but they look very well
for 4 season, trimmed in one of the
four styles which are fashionable. One
is with white or black ostrich tips,
chiffon and flowers; another with a
wreath of wild flowers; another with
trimming of immense loops and mauy
pert ends of light Persian ribbon and
white wings sticking out in every direc-
tion, while a fourth has the back turned
up with a mass of pink roses against it,
an immense roSette of white net is
placed on either side of the crown near
the back, with Il large Nallyrie wing
of white, and across the front has a
wreath of roses in their own foliage
and soft drapely of the net All hats
are worn tip-tilted over the face, which
is said TO make women look younger,
but this style requires fluffy coil'urc.
The ever-popular sailor hats shine in
simplicity or are trimmed so that tn"
shape is almost hidden. The first named
have II simple band of ribbon or one OF
white leather-the former in bow on
the side and the latter fastened mdera
gold buckle. a novel sailor brim has Il
full crown similar to Tam O'Shanter,
and has n bow on the left side and Il
bunch Of flowers on the right. Medium
crowns are preferred. Large rosettes
of tuIle in one or up to five eolors trim
sailors, with flowers or wings added.
Bicycle sailors have a crown band and
two guilds at the side. A sailor bat for
dressy wear has wreatb of roses in a
quantity Of leaves, with two erect stems
of flowers at the back and Il lot of
smaller roses crushed under the brim.
