P1cKPocKETs UNDER ARREST.
Important Capture by Chief Detec-
tive O'Keefe, of the D., L. e. w.

An important capture of pickpockets
was made yesterday by Chief Detec-
tive O'Keefe, of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad COM
pany. For several weeks complaints
have been made by patrons of rail-
roads in this section of thefts of
money and it became known that a
gang of professional pickpockets was
at work. Last Saturday two ladies
residing in Philadelphia were robbed
of $3.50 at Binghamton while preparing
to go aboard a Lackawanna train.
Mr.. O'Keefe was assigned to inves-
tigate the matter. He secured de-
sCription of the men, and yesterday
afternoon noticed four persons loiter-
ing around the station here who tall
lied with the description. He placed
them under arrest and upon search
ing them found the money which they
had pilfered at Binghamton. The
men gave their names as John Mullin,
of Chicago, subsequently Identified as
a notorious crook; Joe Trainor, Jim
Dunlap and Jim Brophy. The latter
are believed to be aliases.
Accompanied by Mr.. O'Keefe the
quartette were taken to Binghamton
last night and lodged in the Broome
county Jail.

denying the same protection TO the
employees Of individuals, firms and linn
tied partnerships. 1t deprives corpora
tions of the right to discharge em-
ployes for certain causes, whilst leav-
ing individuals firms and limited part
nerships free to discharge their en-
ployes for the same cause at will.
ut has been well said arbitrar Sc
lection can never be justified by call
ing 1t classification. If 1t be said that
legislation for the protection of em-
ployes as a class, against coercion. .-br
unfair and uncomfortable dealings on
the part of employers as a class, is a
valid exercise of the police power of
the state the plain answer Is that,
even IL the soundness Of this general
principle be conceded, 1t does not apply
here, because the act under considera-
tion does not apply alike to all MEM
bers of the two classes, namely. em-
ployers and employees. We are all of
opinion that this must be declared to
be q special law within the true in
tent and meaning of the constitu-
ton"
Patrick G.. Moran, chairman OF the
executive committee of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislative Labor league, speak
ing of the decision to a Tribune man,
yesterday, said his committee would
take the matter up with the leagues
counsel, with a view of appealing It
to the supreme court. Before the act
was introduced in the legislature, Mr.
Moran said, It was submitted to sever
al of the best constitutional lawyers in
the state and with one accord they
declared it would stand the constitu-
tional test.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIMSELF.
James Brennan, oe Green Grove, Was
Seriously Injured.

James, the 12-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. viii Brennan, of Green
Grove, was seriously wounded Thurs
day afternoon, while playing with a
gun. Young Brennan, with several
companions, was playing near the dam
on the Clark farm, when one of the
boys picked up the loaded gun and
Brennan stepped up to examine 1t.
In some unaccountable way, his
hand slipped, struck the trigger and
the ball pierced his breast, passing
through the right lung.
His playmates ran at once for assist
ance and summoned Arthur Clark
who carried the wounded lad to the
nearest house, the Clark residence, a
distance of nearly half a mile from
the scene of the shooting. The boys
mother was summoned and he was
made as comfortable as possible until
a physician arrived.
DR.. Grams, of Olyphant, pronounced
the wound of a serious nature, and
the boy was later removed to his home.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
Deputy Controller Says Judgments
Account Is Exhausted.

"There is not enough money left in
the judgments and incidentals appro-
priation to provide for the ordinances
introduced at Thursday evenings
meeting of common council" said
Deputy Controller Hartley yesterday
in response to an inquiry from a Trib-
une reporter.
The ordinances referred to were in
troduced by Messrs. Calvin and Cod
shall. One provides for the transfer
of 1925 for fire alarm box in the
Fifth ward and $500 for a new per-
manent man for the Centurys, while
the other provides for ten additional
electric lights These ten lights are
scattered over the entire city, which
would lead one to believe that there
was a combine" as mentioned in
yesterdays Tribune, to get the meas
ures through council.
Mr.. Hartley said that If the measures
were passed he would simply be COM
PEELED to hold up all warrants drawn
for the improvements or salaries pro-
vided for by them. A certain council
man was figuring out the other day
just how much of the judgments and
incidentals appropriation of $l2, has
been expended for judgments and Incl
dentals, and he claimed to have dis
covered that just a little less than
half had been thus expended.

Conductor f. Hallet, OF this city,
was in charge of the train, and when

THREE MINES WERE IDLE.
Only a Little Work Was Done at
the Won Storch.

The Leggett's Creek Marvine and
Dickson collieries of the Delaware and
Hudson company, in North Scranton,
We're idle yesterday as the result of
the strike of the runners and drivers
while very little work was done at
the Won Storch, where about eighty
cars of coal were raised to the sur
face.
The strikers contend that the work
of hauling this coal out of the slope
was done by the miners and labor
ers and that the company has put no
new men at work in their places.
Superintendent c. c. Rose, when
seen by a Tribune man yesterday,
said his company is not in a position
TO grant the demand that has been
made and that 1t is paying the same
rate OF wages as the other mine opera
tors hereabouts. With reference to
the strike he said they would simply
wait developments.

Secretary Atherton insisted that the

morning carried a letter from Secre-

of the prospective new Scranton in

with machine shops and foundries in

with this first response to his letters.

The ordinance providing for the sup
preston of unlicensed saloons, or
speakeasles, is now a law, having re-
ceived the signature of the mayor, but
it will be ten days before 1t will be-
come operative, the law providing that
all ordinances providing a penalty for
the violation of their provisions must
be published for that period before
they are effective.
The exact text of this important
measure is as follows:
Section l. BE II ordained by the select and
common councils Of the city Of Scranton, and il
is hereby ordained by the authority of the
same, That from and after the passage Of this
ordinance any person or persons within the city
of Scranton who shall keep any tpplng shop;
unlicensed house, room or place, hotel, inn or
tavern, where wines, spirituous, malt or brewed
liquors are sold, offered for sale, drank or given
away in violation of any law in this common.
wealth, shall he liable to pay fine Of not less
than ten or more than one hundred dollars, for
every violation of the provisions Of this ordin'
ance And in default OF the payment Of such
fine may he subjected to an imprisonment in
the county Jail of Lackawanna county for a
period not exceeding thirty days.
Sec. 2. Any arrest for violation OF the pro
visions Of this ordinance, may he made upon
the information of any person under oath, and
1t shall be lawful for the mayor Of the city OF
Scranton, or any alderman Of said city to issue
warrants based upon said information, hear the
charges preferred against any person 80 arrested
and either discharge or impose upon such per
son the penalties OF either Of them named in
the first section Of this ordinance.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-07-28
FINE MUST BE RENTED.

1t has also been the general rule to
refuse to grant appeals until the fine
imposed by the magistrate has been
paid over. If the case Is reviewed by
court and the prisoner declared not
guilty, then the fine must, of course,
be remitted.
Just as soon as the ordinance be-
comes operative the agents OF the
Mems union are going to bring prose-
cutions under it. Attorney Fred C.
Beers stated to a Tribune man yes
terday afternoon that he didn't be-
lieve the Union would cause any more
speakeasy arrests to be made until
the ordinance goes into effect.
"The beauty of the measure" said
he, "is that the man can be convicted
on the spot, without the necessity of
having his case passed upon by a
grand jury and then a jury of his
peers. Past experience in this county
shows that both grand juries and
other juries are not always heartily
in favor of convicting violators Of the
liquor laws.
"The penalty to be sure, isn't very
large, but you can keep on arresting
your man and keep on getting him
'salted' until he will begin to get sick
of violating the law"
A practice which many aldermen
have had in dealing with violators Of
city ordinances has been to take their
costs out of the fine imposed. Mayor
Moir has discovered a law which abb
solutely prohibits this, and he Is de-
termined that the city shall receive
the full amount of all fines imposed
upon violators of the speakeasy or
dinance.
