KNADLER DISCHARGED.
He Was Suspected of Being Mem
ber of the Courtright Gang.

Theodore Knadler. Of 32S Centre
street. was arrested Thursday night
by Patroman Fred Karius on the
charge of being u suspicious charac-
ter, and was last night discharged
from custody by Alderman Howe.
Chief Robling has had his eye on the
young man for some time and there
was strong circumstantial evidence
which pointed to Knadler as being
implicated in the recent burglar!cs
committed by Frank Courtright, Joe
Fitzgerald and John Crow and his
wife.
Knadler is a slim, slightly built fell
low. young and boyish looking, and by
trade a halter. He lived in the same
house with Courtright and the other
members of the gang and was known
to GO frequently in their company.
Last night he was taken before AL
derman John n. Howe and given
hearing on the charge preferred by
Chief-of-P Police Roblng of being a
member of Courtiights crowd, and
having taken part in the burglurles
praCticed.
1t was offered in evidence that he
lived in the Same building and had
been often seen with Courtright. Tho
justice, however, did not consider this
sufficient to hold the man, and there
fore dismissed the case.

GEORGE PECK APPOINTED.
Will Act as Manager of Board of
Trade building.

A meeting of the board OF directors
of the the Board of Trade Real Estate
company was held yesterday after
noon ana the resignation of Dolph b.
Atherton, as manager of the building
was received and accepted. Attorney
George l.. Peck, with offices on the
third floor of the building, was ap-
pointed manager in Mr.. Athcrtons
place.
Mr.. Atherton. who, as is well known
is the secretary Of the Board of Trade
has found the duties of both positions
to be too ardOus and he accordingly re-
linquished the management of the
building that he might be free to de-
vote all of his energies to the work Of
the Board Of Trade. The present in
dustrial revival has enabled the Board
of Trade to be of great assistance in
developing the resources of the city
and Mr.. Atherton was very anxious
to be in a position to devote all of his
time just now to securing industries
that will be of value to the city.

SMITH HELD in BAIL,
He Is the Postmaster at Parker's
Glen, Pike County-The Charge
That Is Made Against Him.

Charged with falsifying his returns
to the government, William Smith,
aged % years, postmaster at Parkers
Glen, Pike county, Pa, was yesterday
held in $500 bail for trial by United
States Commissioner Craig. Smith
was taken to Philadelphia by Post
Office Inspector Hugh j. German, Of
this city, on whose affidavit the war
rant for the DEFENDANTS arrest was
issued.
At the hearing Inspector German
testified that Smiths alleged pecula-
tions covered a period of nearly eight
months and in that time he defraud-
ed the government of $1S3.
The defendant had been postmaster
at Parker's Glen since May, 1897. He
was also employed by the Erie rail-
road as station and express agent.
Last February he was dismissed from
this position, and in June secured a
position as telegraph operator at Green
Ridge with the Delaware and Hudson
company.
This work took him away from Park
er's Glen and he appointed Ward Loo
mis- deputy postmaster. LOomis made
his returns to Smith, who forwarded
them to Washington. Inspector Cor
man said that by falsifying the cam
cellations in these reports Smith in
creased his compensation. He is also
alleged to have reported a smaller
number of stamps on hand than he
had. Smiths compensation averages
$3.50 a year. His home is at Rowland,
Pike cOuntV

DEAF MuTEs ENTERTAINED.
Christmas Sermon and Entertain
ment for Them Last Night.

Among the many guilds connected
with st. Luke's church there is one
which stands out from the others with
especial prominence on account of its
being composed entirely Of deaf mutes.
This is called the Ephphattia guild,
and under its auspices there was con-
Quoted last evening a Christmas SER
vice and festival.
The Christmas service was held in
the church and was attended by up
wards of 100 deaf mutes. A Christmas
sermon was delivered in the sign lam
guage by Rev. ]. NJ. lioehler pastor
of All Souls church, for the Deaf, in
Philadelphia, and diocesan missionary
to the deaf.
Rev. Mr.. Koehler was born in this
city and was unfortunately stricken
with total deafness at the age Of j3
years. He can now speak just as per-
fcctly as if he had his hearing, but has
decided to devote his life to laborinE
among the deaf and dumb.
At the conclusion of the services in
the church those present repaired to
the hall of the parish house. wherc
Rev. Mr.. Koehler delivered a brief de-
scription of number Of views repre-
senting scenes in the life of Christ,
which were thrown on screen by a
stcreopticon. Christmas gifts were
then distributed to those present and
q social time followed
There are about 150 deaf mutes in
this city and vicinity and monthly
services for their benefit are conducted
in st. Luke's church.

SUCCESS OF THE B. I. A.
It Was Demonstrated at the Christ
mas Exercises Held Last Night
in st. Luke's Parish House.

About fifty members of the Boys In
dustrial association, with quarters in
the basement of st. Luke's church, con-
Quoted Christmas exercises last even
ing. The exercises were given under
the direction of Lincoln T.. Brown, the
director of the association. A short
gymnastic performance preceded the
distribution of gifts, which were sus-
pended on a Christmas tree.
The Industrial association is now in
a very thriving condition, there being
over $50 boys actively connected with
it. The plan of a self-governing asso-
citation on the plans of the George
Junior Republic is being gradually in
troduCed.
The boys elected a president and vice.
president the other evening. All the
other offices are to be won by merit
alone. There is at present a secretary
of the treasury, who receives all dues
and keeps an account of the same; 4
secretary of the interior, who looks
after games, etc; a chief justice, who
looks after the maintenance of order
among the boys; a secretary of state,
who acts as Mr.. Browns adviser, and
a superintendent of public works, who
looks after the gymnasium and indus
trial classes.
There are now instructions given in
three different industries, namely. car
pentering, cane-seating and printing.
Mr.. Brown, in conversation with a Tri-
bune man last evening, said that the
order maintained by the boys while in
the rooms was almost as perfect as it
could possibly be. He desired to re-
iterate what has been said before re-
garding the -sectarianism of the as
sociation and stated that it had .abso-
lutely no connection with the church
whatever.

Attorney John NJ. Harris, who is at
tending the meeting of committees of
the State Bar association at Pittsburg,
made some very sweeping allegations
yesterday about the condition of affairs
at the bar of this county, as Will be
seen by the following Associated Press
dispatch received by The Tribune last
night
"Pittsburg, Dec. 29.-Serious charges
against members Of the Lackawanna
county bar were made here today at
the meeting of the executive, legal
education and law reform committees
of the state Bar association, which
met to discuss proposed legislation and
other matters to be considered at the
association meeting at Cambridge
Springs in June.
Robert Snodgrass, Of Harrisburg,
presided at the meeting of the legal
education committee. Judge j. n.
Evans. of Allegheny court, urged a
change in the method by which per-
sons are admitted to the bar on cer-
tifiCates.
John NJ Harris. of Scranton told
how rates had been cut by Lackawan
ma county lawyers, and said other
things tending to reflect on some of
the lawyers at that bar. He averred
that it was almost impossible TO be
disbarred from the Iackawanna Coun-
ty courts Cor any act. He presented a
bill providing for the appointment of
an examining committee by the su-
preme court.
This action was looked upon with
favor and Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Snod-
grass were appointed a subcommittee
to draft a new bill embodying most OF
the points covered by the original bill
and others suggested later.
Alexander Simpson. jr. of Phila-
delphia, presided at the meeting OF
the law reform committee. Among
others matters discussed was pro-
posed act drawn by Mr.. Simpson, re-
latlng To municipal liens, and the
method of enforcing payment of taxes.
1t was decided to hold the annual ban
quet at the Rider house on June %.
