TO TEST THE ORDINANCE
Morris Wormser Says His Arrest
Was Illegal-Why Re Refuses
to Pay the Tax Prescribed
by the Ordinance.

Morris Wormser, who is conducting
Il special sale of clothing in Il Lacka-
wanna avenue building, was yesterday
arrested by Chief of Police RObling
and at a hearing before Alderman Mil
lar was fined $l00. An appeal has been
taken to the quarter sessions court by
Wormser to test the Legality of uis
arrest.
Monday Mr.. Wormser was notified
before opening for business that he
must secure a license from the city
treasurer as directed by a city ordin-
ance of 1898. The license costs $500 and
in default of not having one, the person
doing business contrary to the ordin-
ance is subject to a fine of 800.
Wormser failed to take out the Ii
cense and was arrested and fined.
In the petition asking for permission
to appeal the case to the quarter ses-
sions court the accused, by his attor-
neys, O'Brien & Kelly, sets forth that
the imposition of the penalty by the
alderman was not authorized nor war
rantcd by law, and that the ordin-
ance and act Of assembly of April 26,
1898. upon which said ordinance is
based, are both VOID ana unCOnStitu-
tional for the reason that the act of
assembly and ordinance is a trade re-
striction and are unconstitutional and
void for that reason.
THAT the arrest of your petitioner
and the imposition upon him of said
penalty was unWarranted and unau-
thori2ed by law, and therefore does
your petitioner a great injustice"
A bond in the sum of $500 was filed
by Wormser as a guarantee that he
will prosecute the appeal at the next
term of quarter sessions court. Sol
Hirsch, of Wilkes-B Barre, became his
bOndsman.
The authorities intend to arrest
Wormser every day until he takes out
a license.

est afternoons he had ever spent, and
thought that the words spoken by Mr..
IIouck to the boys and girls ought to
increase their love for the public
schools. Mr.. Corson said the advan
tages in the north are marvellous com"
pared to the south as regards the pub
lie school, and while education is the
necessity of knowing. the pupils should
be certain of what they learn therein.
STANDS FOR MORAL TRAINING.
There is more success In perspira-
tion than inspiration, and while it may
be true that some of the successful
men mad never been struck with Il
bouquet on commencement day, there
are others who were SO far covered
with them We have not heard of them
since. The public school stands for
moral training, but no power on earth
can equal the old fashioned Chris tian
home training in morals, and there is
nothing worth more than a sterling
character.
Success lies in doing a little more
than is expected of you. and those who
follow along these lines will succeed. A
young man needs character to succeed
in life, and the boy that spends his
evenings in the home the reading
rooms and places of wholesome amuse-
ment, and in church on Sunday, will
merit and win that success. You may
be certain that some one will want that
character and be willing to pay for it,

Scranton being a New York town. is
affected in no small degree by the act
of the New York Clearing House as
sociation imposing charge for col
lecting country checks. No action has
been taken by our local banks by way
of retaliation. as has been done iii

ment is growing in favor of doing
something in opposition to this arbi-

may. as New Haven suggests. charge

WANT THEIR BUSINESS.

The Scranton banks can, If they so
choose, make it emphatically apparent
to the New York association that its
action is not looked upon with favor
here. AT present nearly all the New
England and much Western and
Southern business is transacted
through New York. Since the New
York banks determined upon charging
for collecting, the Boston, Baltimore
and Chicago banks have invited the
country banks to open accounts with
them, volunteering to make the collec-
tions without charge. Inc loss Of
these balances to the New York banks
would more than offset what they
would lose by doing the collecting free.
The depositors have devised various
means of making the new order un-
popuIar. Many of them stamp across
their checks this notice: I'VE pay our
bills by checks on the - bank,
Scranton, Pa. If not accepted at par,
please return"
Many merchants here have received
notices from New York houses with
which they do business, that the extra
charge for collecting their checks will
be charged up to their accounts. The
Scranton men have responded by say
ing: Smith, Jones & Co., of Philadel-
phia, whose price list compares favor
ably with yours. will accept our
checks at par" Already these an
swers have brought forth a second no.
tice to disregard the first.
BY making the New York merchants
stand the extra charges, they will be-
oil at
that the New York Clearing house will
have to rescind it's distasteful order or
at least modify it.
