Rottanzi Issues an
Order to Municipal
Officials.
Objections Made by the City and County
Hospital and Other In
stitutions.

DR.. I. A. Rottanzi has issued an order
to all the city public officers which has
caused considerable comment, and at the
City and County Hospital especially.
The Supervisor, as chairman of the
finance committee, has Issued orders that
the Sunset Telephone Company should
not connect with the telephones in the vari-
Gus offices, so now ii there is any message
that must go to Oakland San NJ Maeo, ETC.,
the employees of this and that office must
go TO some near by public telephone.
Ii patient at the City and County
Hospital a les and his relatives happen to
live out OF town the deceased will either
have TO be buried at the expense of the
city or some officer will have to telephone
at his own expense.
There can be no connection between the
Western Union Office and the offices SO
that they will not be able to telephone for
them to send messages fhe reason for
this is claimed to reduce expenses, al
though the bills for extra telephoning at

unlocked by the works OF man, and the
terrors of far north will in a great
measure cease to be. A small army oil
men is at present building a tramway over
the summit of the mountains that line the
pass, and within few months provisions
and gold Sc kers cal be carried and landed
safely on the level plains that stretch to
Dawson CITY and reach the land of wealth
without d fficulty.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company
is the promoter OF the enterprise Al
though under the course of Reorganization,
that company, whose business head
quarters are in this city, mas determined
that San Francisco shall not lose the
trade of the gold regions to the business
men of the Puget Sound ports. In conse-
quence it has determined to expend d
large amount of money building tram
way. that goods and pas: engers from this
port may be landed at their destin ton
at any season of the year.
Several months ago 7. Jefferson Coo
lidge and John L. Waterbury, New York
ca apitaliSts and prime movers in the reor-
ganization OF the Oregon Improvement
COMPANY, which is the greatest stock
holder in the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company. conceived the idea OF building
the tramwav. The idea was communi-
Gated to c. J. Smith, receiver of the com
pany during its reorganization, ana the
work of building The tramway was in
augurated. Considerable work has already
been done. A few davs ego the steamer
Corona sailed from Tacoma with extra
supplies man and material on board to
complete the erection of the tramway.
Within two months after the arrival OF
the steamer at Juneau the carrier will be
completed and the company will be ready
to start operations.
The tramway will be built about a mile
In length at the present time and will
cross the most precipitous part OF the
pass in the gion Of Dyea. From the end
of the tramway it will be bnt a short dis
tance to the lower end of Lake Bennett.
which will leave the trail practically an
open one to the gold feds. This will as
sure free lngress and egre,s to The district
and will open communication to the out
side world in such manner that those
who have friends within will be able 10
communicate with them, no matter at
what season OF the year nor how severe the
weather.
In the opinion of the management of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany the
venture Will prove paying one This
opinion is also shared bv many business
men in this city. who base their belief on
the fact that this will give the promoters
OF the scheme at least one years advant-
age over all competitors. Another point
that manifests success is that all people
who are aware OF the work of the COM
pany in liberating their friends from the
dangers of the Arctic regions will patron

Madison Babcock is the Adonis OF ed

is much handsomer man than DR.. Mar

erudition is com pre- ehensive, deep and

Now when Andrew Jackson MouIder

Findings Of the Courtmartial
May be Forwarded to Cen
eral Warfeld To-Day,
FIFTEEN DAYS FOR REFLECTION.
Friends of the Accused Sought for
Recommendation Of Oensure and
Suspension Only.

The mem bers of the National Guard
court-martial appointed to consider the
charges against Captain jerks, bave
agreed on their findings, and will probably
forward their report TO Brigadier-General
Warfield to-day. The captain was tried on
three charges-neglect of duty, disobe-
dience of orders and conduct pre- judicial
TO good order and military discipline.
While the findings are not officially
known, it is believed that a majority of
the court found him guilty on each count.
II is believed also tnat the punishment
recommended is more than suspension
and censure. Many rumors are atioat 10
the effect that the accused had strong
friends on the court VINO interceded in his
behalf, but the impression is fixed that
the majority was not swayed by the plead
ings fer clemency on account OF the
officers youth and inexperIence.
Dismissal from the service with Censure
i thought to be the verdict which will be
made known officially IN a day or TWO. II
is known that strong plea was made for
a long term OF suspension in lieu of dis
missal
The extreme penalty that a court-mar.
tial can infiict OF recon- nd for infiiction
is Lhat ali officer shall be cashleTed and
dishonora bly, expelled from The service.
Should udgment of this character be
found by the court and receive the ap-
proval OF the brigade commander the ac-
cused would he deprived OF his rights OF
citizenship and forever disqualified from
holding any position IN the National
Guard. While Captain Jenks' offence
seems 10 be regarded as serious. it is sur
missed that his youth and the fact that he
did not comprehend the magnitude OF the
offence, induced the court TO withhold the
extreme penalty.
The court-martial to hear the charge
against Captain jerks was selected by
General WartieId, commanding the Sec
ond Brigade, and the findings of the court
provaL Should the judgment of the court
be contrary to his conceptions OF right
and Justice, from a military point of vie ",
he NAV set it aside and order a new court
to convene. Otherwise he may approve
the findings. The regulations allow b i'm
fifteen days time to consider the findings
and form his own judgment.
Last Monday night the mem bers of the
court practically agreed on their findings.
II voting was done in the usual form,

manager re- efusing to listen to their COM
plalnt.
The stereotypers claim that they should
have been given a hearing, inasmuCh as
the foreman is supplying the office with
men who are not mem bers of the union.
They laid the matter before the State Or
ganizer of the union, who has written a
letter EN- bodyng all the facts to the ex-
ecutive com mittee of the International
Typographical Union at Indianapolis. a
reply Is expected about the early part OF
next week, when 1t is believed that the
union printers will join with the stereo-
typers in a walkout. This action Will
surely be taken if the executive committee
of the Typographical Union deems that the
stereoty pers have a just grievance against
the proprietors OF the Chronicle.
In speaking of the matter yesterday one
of the officers OF the local Typographical
Union said:
''Of course l cannot say just what action
will be taken until we hear from Indiana.
If we are authorized 20 join with the
sIereotvpers we Will walk out of the
Chron Gle office together. The Stereo-
typers' Union is a branch of the Typo
graphical Union, ana what affects one
must necessarily affect the other TO a
certain extent. | believe that the stereo-
typers have Just grievance, for
the foreman of that department Will
not Join the union. Not only that,
but l have been told that ne
is supplanting the union men with nom
union workers There is a principle in
VOWED here which believe the union will
uphold. We will hear from headquarters
about the first of the week, and then we
Will know just what action the local
union will take in the matter. if we are
advised to take up the fight we will do so
and will call the men out"
Another prominent member of the or
ganization said that he believed hat the
printers will be ordered out on strike un-
Ill the grievances OF the stereotypers are
listened TO. If that is done the strike will
involve about seventv-iive or eighty men.

MEETING OF POOR BOARD.
short, Business-Like Session Con-
Quoted Yeste rdav Afternoon.

A short, business-like session of the
poor board was held yesterday after
noon in the board rooms in the city
hall. Agent Walter, of the Humane
society, of Wilkes Barre, appeared be-
fore the board and asked to have Ame-
liza Dougherty, insane, who Is now IN
the Luzerne county Jail, admitted to
the insane department of the Hillside
Home. The woman is a charge of the
Pittston poor district, and Mr.. Wal
ter said that corporation will pay for
her maintainence. Permission was
granted to take the woman to the
Hillside Home.
Secretary L. j. Lynett reported that
he had made arrangement for the ad-
mission of three children into the
Elwyn Home for the feeble minded
and his report was approved. Hugh
McManama came before the board and
asked for transportation to Philadel-
phia. He said that he came here in
search of his son, but had not been
successful in finding him. His story
was disjointed in some particulars and
the board offered him the hospitality
of the Hillside Home until such time
as his tale can be investigated. He de-
clined the offer.
Mrs. Burke, of Dunmore, who was
deserted by her husband, was allowed
transportation for herself and six chill
dren to Towanda, Bradford county.
Director Shotten called the attention
of the board to the case of John Nc
Mahon, who is now in the county jail
for abusing his children. His wife is
in the old country, and their six chill
dren, in the absence of both parents,
are woefully neglected. Mrs. Duggan,
who was present about the same case,
said that she had letter from Nc
Mahon stating that he desired her to
take charge of the children. She af-
terwards received a letter from the
mans attorney warning her not to
take them.
The attorney of the board, Mr..
Scragg, was directed to make an in
vestigation, and then proceed at once
to have the children legally placed
where they will be cared for.
