ADDITIONAL DETECTIVES.
Said to Be a Great Need for Them
in This City.

The capture of the four burglars
on Monday is considered G. very good
practical argument in favor of at
least one. and, perhaps, two additional
detectives FOR the city force.
Chief Robling and officer Bloch spent
the whole day on Christmas assisting
Detective Moir In the running down
of the four crooks. The mayor yes
terday expressed himself as being of
the belief that three detectives at least
are required to perform the requisite
duties in that branch of police work
now required in this city.
Scranton is probably the only city
of her size in the country having only
one regular detective. Syracuse, New
Haven, Providence, Hartford, Albany
and other cities averaging from 10, 900
to 125,0O0 population all have detec-
tive force ranging in number from
three to seven or eight men. Bng-
hamton, Elmira, Utica and a dozen
other towns in New York state aver
aging 10000 inhabitants only have one
and in some cases two men regularly
assigned to detective work.

SCHOOL DIRECTOR CANDIDATES
Democrats Getting in Shape TO
Nominate Them.

Democratic City Chairman e. II.
Schadt will today issue call for a
meeting of the city committee Satur-
DAY night TO arrange for primaries and
a convention to nominate three can
diiates for school controller on the
board Of six. Alderman w. s. Millar,
the Republican chairman, will call his
committee together, also, In a few
days to discuss the same matter
In the spring Of 1885, when the board
Of six first came into existnce. two
members were elected for a term of
three years, two for two years and two
for one year. Last year John Courier
Morris and George II. Shires were
elected by the Republicans, without
opposition, to succeed f. S. Barker
and Elias Evans, whose one year terms
expired. Mr.. Morris becomes coun-
ty commissioner on Jan. /, and as Sh J.,
two offices are Incompatible, he will
be compelled to resign. The terms Of
+. ID. Fellows and Fred s. Godfrey,
the two-year men elected in 1898, eX-
pire next spring and thus the three
vacancies will exist
There is a growing belief that tho
supreme court, when 1t takes in the
two new justices, Brown and Mcstre-
Eat, will have a majority favorable
to the board Of six, is mainly respon :
sible for the the Democrats intention
not to let the election go by default
this time. The Scranton and Pittston
cases, on which the question of the
legality of the present board hinges,
were tied up by reason of the fact
that there were only six supreme
justices at the time they were consid
cred. and they were evenly divided
on the question.
The three judges who favored the
board of six continue on the bench, it
is claimed, and it is further state 4
that both the new justices are on rec
ord as being of the opinion that the
board of six is the legal one.
