THOSE FIRE ALARM BOXES
Fire Department Committee of Select
Council Makes Inquiries About the
Prices Charged for Them.

The fire department committee of Sc
lect council met last night to deter
mine whether or not the city had been
paying the Gamewell Fire Alarm com
pany $25 per box more than had been
stipulated by contract. A charge to
that effect in u recent issue of the
Truth led select council to order an
investigation. The committee ad-
journed without reaching a conclusion
and with the purpose of soliciting an
opinion on the matter from the city
solicitor
Mr.. Torrey, an agent of the Game
we'll company, was present So was
City Solicitor Torrey, ex-City Control
Ter George Eisele and Chief Hickey of
the fire department.
Agent Torrey held that the charge
had arisen in confusing a proposal of
sale with a proposal of lease. The two
had been submitted at the time the ne
gotiations between the city and the
company began. 1t was finally agreed
to lease the fire alarm system. The
sale papers, however, had been kept
attached to the lease papers and the
published charge was caused by a con-
Fiction in the provisions of the two
terms of contract.
The city made contract with the
GameWell company whereby the latter
were to equip system and use thirty
six Palmer Gardiner boxes. A sum of
slips per year rental was to be
charged or the city could purchase the
system at the end of any year for
$9,250 Any additional boxes of the
Palmer Gardiner type We're to be .ur
,l,n ln ,,tt
decided to lease instead of buy, the
company furnished Gardiner" boxes
instead OF those termed Palmer Card
iner." The latter are quoted at $l25
and the former at $780, and on that
point hinges the controversy.
Agent Torrey explained tnat the COM
pany USED the higher priced box as it
was good business to maintain the most
efficient service possible, the company
being liab BILE under the lease contract.
Controller Eisele stated that when
the first extra boxes We're purchased the
question was raised as to whether $125
or 500 was the proper price. 1t was
shown at that time, he said, that the
boxes We're of improved type and the
same as composed the leased equipment
They were purchased thereafter at that
figure.
City Solicitor Torrey intimated that
the only question at issue was the kind
of box that had been furnished. The
Palmer Gardiner boxes We're to be
furnished at 500 each. There was no
contract as to other types. If the city
had established a precedent by paying
$l25 for the Gardner" or other more
expensive kind of box, there was moth
ing to show that too much money had
been paid.
After the open session the committee
retired and in a few minutes concluded
to refer the matter to the city solicitor
and report according to his decision.

Mr.. Warnke's Statement.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-Please allow me space in your val
able paper to answer some of the trumped-
UP charges placed against me by Frank
lin company, No. |. | desire in prnci-
PIE to direct my remarks to my accuser,
James Beavers, who claimed that / tried
TO raise disturbance in the company
room and also said that l remarked that
the company's charter was not worth the
9aper it was printed on.
In answer to the first, I will state that
Frank Jones, who is not member, came
10 the rooms and began to abuse me.
resented the insult, but there was no
hght. Mr.. Beavers is greatly afraid Of
trouble in his" engine house. Now the
question is, Why did he not bring charges
against the man who, short time ago.
came down stairs and threatened to lick
all in the immediate neighborhood? This
man went out on the street blowing his
own horn, but was speedily checked by a
man next door, who came oul and gave
him good thrashing.
Beavers overlooked this matter Why
did he not bring charges against the man
who made a beast of himself in a saloon
on New Years eve in violence of the
company'S bylaws? The question is cas-
lily answered. These men are on his side
of the fence. Jimmie" shows his good
ness and mercy, ana pardons all their
Wrons-uolnsS. In regard to the charter
which | criticized, l will stick to my
statement. The company has no capital
stock and consequently can declare no
dividends. They have done this and
broken the charter.
If our good Mr.. Beavers wants all to
live in strict compliance with the laws OF
the organization, why does he not seek
out the person who took the door of the
feed room away for his own use, and fire
him? Why does he allow members around
the engine house in an intoxicated con-
dltlon! The reader can easily see by
what has already transpired at the en-
gine house that these men are leagued to-
sether and being in the majority are de-
termined to root out all who will not
swear allegiance to their dirty rag. Thus
far they have succeeded. What will fol-
low, no one knows.
Some of the members who have not
yet been molested, have already become
ashamed of having their names connected
with such contemplate doings, and are
thinking of resigning. Jimmie" Beavers
and his pals do not own that house, and
they will soon discover it. In closing l
will again ask, "Who stole that door?"

WHAT FIGURES SHOW.

The figures are positive evidence
that the Linden street bridge bears a
large share of the traffic burden. The
table shows that the Linden street
traffic is 1928 per cent. as much as
that of the other bridge or 27 % per
cent of the whole.
one important fact is brought out by
the test If, say, there are six We
hicles and so pedestrians on each of
the two structures tie Lackawanna
bridge on account of its meagre length
appears densely crowded, while for
just the opposite reason there is no in
dication of any extensive amount of
travel on the Linden bridge.
Estimating that 240 cars, or one ev-
cry three minutes, cross or recross the
Lackawanna bridge during the day,
and also estimating the number of
passengers contained in the cars, a
total of $4,000 persons pass over the
bridge from q. m. to p. m. exclusive
of the number who drive or ride in
other vehicles.
A study of the table is also interest
ing in that II reveals the corresponding
degree of traffic during the different
hours of the day. In considering the
table, it should be remembered that no
record was kept for thirty minutes be-
tween 11.20 and 11.50 o'clock when the
men engaged in making the record
were at lunch.
1t has been ascertained that Luther

LAND FOR A DOUBLE TRACK.
Allowed to Northern Coal and Iron
Company by Judge Gunster.

An order was handed down by Judge
Gunster yesterday in the equity suit of
the Scranton Gas and Water company
against the Northern Coal and Iron
company which allows the Coal and
Iron company, otherwise the Delaware
and Hudson Canal company, sufficient
land to lay a double track where the
road Of the company curves to the
south after crossing Bridge street.
The land that is required for the
double track is owned by the Gas and
Water company and is part of the plot
on which it's large gas plant is erect
ed. 1t was maintained by that COM
pany that all of this land is needed for
its growing gas plant and that to give
any of it to the coal and iron company
would be to work serious injury to the
company.
Court, however, decided to give the
Northern company permission to take
possession of sufficient land for another
track to be laid parallel to the track
which is the main line of the Delaware
and Hudson company between this city
and Wilkes Barre. There has been liti-
cation for a number Of years between
these two companies over this strip of
land.

WANT CIGARETTES SUPPRESSED.
Bill Against the Little White Pipe in
Michigan House.

Lansing Mich, March 12.-Represen-
tative Chamberlain's anti-cigarette bill
was favorably reported by the commit
tee on public health of the lower house
of the Legislature today, and it will be
discussed on the general order in a
day or two. 1t not only prohibits the
manufacture of the article in this state,
but provides a punishment for their
sale under any circumstances.
There was a warm fight in the sem
ate today over the bill to repeal the
mortgage tax law, but it was finally
passed by a close vote.
The law has been on the statute
books several years, and 1t has never
fully protected the mortgagor, who has
been compelled by contract or other
wise to pay the taxes.

TURKEY AFTER OUR WARShIpS.
Report in ConstantinopIe That n Pur-

Constantinople, March 12.-In semi

the United States government for the
purchase of two or three ironclads
which have already been completed in
the United States. and it is added that
the sum of 100000 has already been

Washington, March 12-The report
that Turkey is negotiating for Ameri-

the government owns all such vessels
in the United States and could not dis
