PLUMBERS WANT AN
INSPECTOR APPOINTED
They Object TO the Shoddy Work Of Tn.
scrupulous Competitors.
ORDINANCE NOW BEFORE COUNCIL
II Will Make IL Extremely Difficult
to DO Plumbing Contrary to the
Rules of the Board of Health and
Is Championed by the Most Prom-
inent Plumbing Firms--Inspector
to Devote His Whole Time TO the

The several and emphatic protests of
the city's most prominent plumbing
firms against the non-enforcement of
the board of health's plumbing rules
has resulted in the drafting of an ordi-
nance creating the office of plumbing
inspector. The ordinance was intro
duced at last weeks meeting of select
council. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on laws and ordinances, which
will return a favorable report, and
has been printed.
The ordinance is advocated by we'll
known plumbers who believe that an
inspector will prevent the cheap and
unlawful plumbing work now being
performed by contractors who are able
to underbid the best plumbing firms.
The undertaking is now possible only
because the smaller contractors are
able to ignore the board of health rules
without fear of detection. Following
is the ordinance:
Section !. BE it ordained by the select
and common councils of the city of
Scranton. and it is hereby ordained by
the authority of the same. That there
be and is hereby created the office of
plumbing inspector Such inspector shall
be a practical plumber, who has been
engaged in the active duties of his said
occupation for at least ten years, and
shall have been a resident of the city
at least one year. Immediately preceding
his appointment.
He shall be appointed as provided by
law for the appointment of all city otli-
GERS created by ordinance for a term of
three years from the date of his appoint
ment; he shall not succeed himself in
said office

THE RAIDING OF
THE HOTEL SLATER
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ACTION
Refuses to Hold Witnesses-0fficer er
Lewis Insists on Prosecution.
The PrOprietCr's Statement.

The case against the proprietor of the
Hotel Slater, which was raided last night
by Special Officer Lewis did not come
up for trial today. District Attorney
Pugh declined to hold the five men sum-
moned as Government witnesses as they
denied all knowledge of the sale or pur-
chase of liquors at the Hotel Slater on
Sunday. Lewis insisted on having a
warrant issued against Harry Hughes,
manager of the house, and the case will
probably come up tomorrow.
Mr.. Henry Hughes. the proprietor of the
Hotel Slater. said, today: Yesterday
Lewis came to my house, and / requested
him to settle an account which he owed
me for board. AT this he became very
angry, and declared that he would get
even with me- He was also in a very in
toxicated condition. / have been conduct
ing business here for years, and this is
the first complaint that has been made
against me- as / have always observed
the law in every respect"
The guests of the hotel who were ar
rested are very indignant at their treat
ment. One of them said: Il see that Lew
Is claims to have taken drinks with us
yesterday To my personal knowledge.
Lewis came here drunk, but secured MOTH
ing at this house. We were arrested for
standing in the lobby"
Mr.. Hughes and his guests promise to
make il lively for Lewis.

Two Pointed Question. Answered.

What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor if you cannot
get g. better price for 1t?
Ans.-As there Is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
II both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
Judgment on them and use only the bet
ter one.
This explains the large sale on Cham

Indian Spanish possessions to a

bespeaks energy on their part to
know that the Porto Rico campaign

now on its way. With the sublu-

practically nothing lett of her west

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The trial of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Strickling is now in progress
at Middlebourne. Judge Hervey,.
of Wheeling, is hearing the case
and as far as we are able to learn,
both the defendants and prosecu-
ton are satisfied with the jurist.
The trial begun just alter noon:
Court convened this morning at
10 O'Clock and the morning was
taken up with preliminaries. The
defense moved that jury be Sc
lected, which was overruled by the
court. After this ruling both par
ties assented readiness and no time
was lost in assembling the witnesses
who were sworn, when court adj
journed until I o'clock when the
trial was opened and the first wit
ness, J. G. Mayfeld, put upon the
stand. AS we go to press he is.
still in the witness chair.
The charges against Mr.. Str.ck-
ling are too fresh in the minds of
our readers for reiteration here.
The case is a most sensational one
and many spicy features will be
disclosed. The Review has en-
ployed a thorough newspaper
man to report the case in.
detail. Today's proceedings will
be given in full tomorrow and as
the whole town is interested, be
sure TO buy paper each day dur
Jag the progress OF the trial.
While the charges are serious the
defense claim they will vindicate
Mr.. Strickliug. If Mr.. StIickling
is innocent he should be acquitted,
but if be is guilty the should be
dealt with accordingly.
