DIR. PHILLIPS WILL STAY.
Intends to Disappoint Those Who
Want Him to Resign.

Acting on the almost unanimous ad-
vice of his friends, who We're never
more numerous nor more determined
than today, DR.. George w. Phillips.
principal of the High school, will, it Is
stated, remain i'm his present position
The decision, it may be added, is very
welcome to the pupils of the High
school.
Whether DR.. Phillips will at this time
prepare a public statement has not
yet been decided. His friends point
out that no charges were ever made
against him before the full board Of
control nor was he asked to appear
before that body to meet his accusers.
The whole thing, his friends believe,
was done under cover, and was pre-
determined long before the so-called in
vestiFation took place. Or. Phillips
friends say that he could, under the
school law. in spite of the fact that
the board has voted to reduce his sal
ary, demand to be brought face to
face with the persons who have made
accusations against him, and they are
confident of his ability to show behind
every charge a perversion of truth and
personal motive. Whether he will
insist on the exercise of this right Is
not known.
The public agitation of this matter,
DR. Phillips is quoted as saying. has
probably gone far enough If the best
interests of the schools be considered,
but his friends evidently intend to
stand by him i'm whatever course he
may elect to pursue.

the conductors and trainmen was con-
cluded yesterday at noon and the men

ternoon, to return again Aug. %, and

As on the previous day, nothing was
done of a definite nature further than
to agree on the mileage system Of
wages. Mr.. Russell did not care to
deal with the regulations until he was
better acquainted with the road and
thought that month would be quite
sufficient to post himself we'll enough
to deal with the matter. According

Ample refreshments We're provided,
and pastimes of every nature were in
dulged in, while many of the guests
and patrolmen took advantage of the
excellent bathing facilities. The fea-
tuxe Of the day however, was Professor
GLASGOW, the balloon ascensonists de-
scent into the water without prepara-
tion. An old fashioned clam bake was
also enjoyed.
The afternoon train brought Mayor
Moir and several others TO the scene,
and they entered into the spirit of the
occasion with much pleasure. Chief
Frank Robling gave his personal at
tention to the wants of the guests.
The party was also indebted to the
Erie and Wyoming Valley Railroad
company for courtesies extended, and
Bauers men added their share to the
pleasure of the occasion. The return
trip was made on the GAS train.

MEN OF THE HOUR.

Z. G. Russell the new general super
intendent of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western Railroad company, is
making a very favorable impression
with Scrantonians. Without exception,
those who have met him, either in a
business or social way, remark his
pronounced civilty and thorough dem
ocratic bearing, and at the same time
are strongly impressed with his busi-
ness tact To the newspapermen he is
a revelation in the way of a big cor
poration official. He is always ap-
proachable and in an interview seems
to fully realize that the reporter is not
a fearful something that must be
pleasantly put up with or diplomatical-
ly gotten rid of.
The second night he was in Scranton
a Tribune man with a story that
wanted verihcation sent his card to
Mr.. Russells room at 10 o'clock. He
had Just turned into bed and was about
to turn off the lights when the bell boy
raped but he nevertheless sent word
to come up and submitted to an inter-
view sitting up in bed Tut tut" he
said when the reporter made excuses
for the intrusion. That's an import
ant matter and one that the public has
a right to know about. I'm here to
answer questions like that at any time
of the night and don't YOU hesitate to
come to see me, no matter what hour
it may be when you have urgent busl-
ness with me-"
The employees committee who have
had several sessions with him regard
ing the new regulations are probably
louder than any one else in commend
ing his courtesy and consideration and
as these committees represent every
nook and corner of the Lackawanna
system the impression he made cannot
help but enkindle a kindly feeling all
along the line between the men and
the one official who more than any else
binds them to the company's interests
The Utica Herald of yesterday had
this to say of A. c. Salisbury, who sue
ceeds Garret Bogart as superintendent
of the main line of the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western railroad:
"Mr. Salisbury has been in the rail-
road business nearly thirty years, and
always on the road the superintend-
ency of which he lays down today. For
eighteen years he has held the position
OF assistant and superintendent of the
Utica division, with headquarters in
this city, and this long term is the best
evidence that his services have been
faithful and satisfactory. He is WELL
known and popular with railroad men
everywhere
while his railroad duties have kept
him well occupied, Mr.. Salisbury has
identified himself with the interests OF
Utica and in his departure this city
will lose a representative citizen. Sew.
eral years ago he was active in the for.
