Attorney u. ]. Reody, solicitor for
the Scranton board of control filed
Yesterday with Prothonotary Copeland
q supersedeas from the Supreme court
staying all proceedings in this court
with regard to the ousting of the
twenty-one members until next Feb
ruary.
There are four cases in this court
against the board of twenty-one. The
first one was to GUST them from office
on the ground that they were sitting
illegally. The second was to prevent
them from levying tax to carry on
the school work. The third was to pre-
vent them from receiving any tax or
school appropriation. And the fourth
was to enjoin them from transacting
any business whatsoever.
Judge Archibald handed down an
opinion in the first case, and decided
that the board of twenty -One was not
the legal body, and that a board of six
should govern the schools. The Opin
ion did not decree n writ of custer
That step was not taken, in view Of
the expected ruling of the Supreme
court in the Pittston case, one identi-
cal with our own.
The Supreme court has ordered a re-
argument in the Pittston case. and it
will not be heard until February, at
which time the Scranton case will also
be argued.
The supersedoas filed yesterday per-
mits the board of twenty-One to go
| ahead with its tax levy and collections.
I.ANCSTATF-K KELLEY.
In the LanGstaff- Kelley contest the
court made an order yesterday morn
| ing requiring the contestants to amend
their bin Of particulars SO that a larger
number Of illegal votes will not be al
! legged in any district than Mr.. Kelley
received. The order was in Judge
Edwards writing and is as follows:
THE exceptions to the bill of particu-
lars so far as it relates to the allega-
| tion that i'm certain districts where
| votes for the respondent are attacked
and the number Of such votes is In
excess of the total vote cas-. and re-
turned for respondent in sail districts
is sustained. The contestants are all
| lowed to file bill of particulars in
accordance with this order within 10
| days from this date"
The respondents allege that in at
| least thirty districts more illegal votes
are charged than Mr.. Kelley received; ;
| and they claim that the bill on it's very
| face for that reason should not be al
| lowed to stand. And they asked the
court to order an amendment of the bill
| as matter Of economy if for no other
| reason. If the bill were allowed to
| stand, the contestants could subpoena
| twelve voters from Ransom township
where Mr.. Kelley received only three
votes. That would make the costs four
| times as great for that one district
as if only the number cast could be
! subpoenaed.
In some Of the other 80 districts
where the excess is alleged the costs
would be much larger. For instance, in
| the Twenty-tirst ward, Mr. Kelley re-
Ceived 81 votes in one district. and the
| bill alleges IA. To allow the bill to
stand would permit the subpoenaeing
| Of ll3 more than the right. These are
but samples of the thirty districts
| specified.
