OPERATORS HAVE
won THEIR Fight
Carrying Companies Have Agreed to
Pay Them for Their Coal on the
Eixty-five Per Cent. Basis.

Local members of the Anthracite Op-
orators association are home from the
New York meeting, and with their re-
turn comes the information that the
programme forecast in The Tribune
was carried out to the letter.
The new contracts offered by the
transportation companies were pre-
sented by the committee appointed to
secure better terms for the indeoend-
ents and after lengthy discussion it
was decided to accept the new terms.
This leaves each operator free to
enter into contract with any transport
tation company he chooses to sell his
coal to- and, of course, means also that
the projects for fighting the transpor-
tation companies with a new road, or
any of the other means considered, are
abandoned.
The transportation companies, through
their committee which conferred with
the independents committee. agreed
that there would be no discrimination
shown for or against any operator. The.
contracts will be uniformly drawn and
no operator will be given any advant-
age over the other.
The siXty-tive per cent. rate for
which the independents have contended
for years and which they vigorously de-
manded, when the deal of the big conf
panies to settle the strike advanced the
cost of mining, is to obtain throughout
the whole region. The Independents are
also to have better treatment in the
matter of allotment and car service.
The victory of the independents is
matter of particular qualification to
this region, as the fight was planned
ana conducted here.
Hon. William Conrell is president of
the association, and both he and r.. II.
Watkins We're prominent, not to say
the most active spirits on the commit
tee which had the matter of re-arrange-
ment of contracts in hand. The part
r. l.. Fuller played in the transaction
was told at length in Mondays issue.
His activities We're centered upon keep
ing the independents fortified and, if
possible, place them in a position to
change their request into a demand.
The loyalty of the independent oper-
ators, in general, in denying themselves
the benefits of the new contract offered
by the big transportation companies,
until such time as the sale of the Penn
sylvania Coal company released them
from their moral obligation to support
the new road. is one of the most COM
mendable things in the history Of the
coal world.

MAYOR MOIR WILL
NOT sign THE BILL
Sent Communication to Councils
Last Night with Reference to-
the Asphalt Repair Bill.

Mayor Noir has sought legal advice
as to whether he should sign the bill
for $3.50 the seventh quarterly pay
ment to the Barber Asphalt company
under their $4,000 contract, and he
has decided that under no considera-
ton whatever will he approve of the
bill.
This final decision was announced
last night in a communication sent to
councils. After citing the terms of the
contract and referring to the recent
revelations of bribery in Alderman
Fuller's court which sworn testimony
he says is uncontradlcted, the mayor
continues:
"As I understand the law, no person
or corporation who by offering bribes
or rewards for the votes of councilmen
or for the approval of the executive of
the city does the same in violation of
the public morals and the laws of this
commonwealth should have the as
sistance of the law to reap the bene-
fits of their own unlawful acts. Fraud.
bribery and collusion will vitiate any
transaction. and therefore if fraud in
obtaining this agreement or contract
be shown, either expressed or mpied
llic I)dllIeS cHlIlOl enforce tle dETtc-
ment which they themselvs have vio-
lated the law to obtain. AS the matter
stands, | believe it to be my duty as
chief executive of this city to with
hold my approval of this bill
In speaking about the matter to a
Tribune man yesterday. the mayor
said:
II was forced to arrive at this con-
clusion after hearing the earnest re-
quests made by many of our best citi-
zens. Many of the very men who two
years ago were Going everything in
their power to get me to sign the ordi-
nance awarding this contract are now
asking me not to sign this bill. They
do this because they believe now. as I
have believed all along and as l said
in council, that this contract was born
in sin and conceived in iniGuity.
''The burden of proof rests now en-
tirely with the asphalt company It's
officials have not denied any of the
statements made in Alderman Fuller's
office. They will find themselves the
defendants in pretty goOd-siZed law
suit one of these days.
When the communication was read
in select council last night it was re-
terrcd to the pavement committee, de-
spite the protests of Mr. Chittendan,
who believed that councils had roth.
ing to do with the matter. it being
to his mind, merely a question to be
settled between the mayor and the as
phalt company

Another Pair of Divorces.

Two more divorces We're decreed by
court yesterday. Judge Kelly handing
them down.
Michele Lumonea proved that his
wife, Lucia, to whom he was married
in 1889, had been living in Plymouth
with one Dr. Vincenzo Sarlo in October,
1898, and for year thereafter, and that
she had child by him. This was con-
sidered sufficient ground for divorce.
The Lumoneas formerly lived in Oak
ford court. Nosburg & Dawson repre-
sented the libellant
David Jones was granted q divorce
from Elizabeth Williams Jones on the
ground that she deserted him and went
to live with Frank Collins, as Mrs. Col
lins. at the boarding house of Mrs.
Rose Repp. Mrs. Jones is a sister of
Mrs. May Williams Rinsland.
The Joneses We're married July H.,

PRATT COUNTY REPUBLICANS
Nominate a Ticket and Are Congnent
OfSuccess

Pratt, Kan, Aug. 23.--The Republican
county convention today nominated a
ticket and the party is confident of sue
cess. This has been a fusion county but
the Republicans are jubiIant and full of
enthusiasm. The candidates are: rep
resensative, DR.. R. c. Hutchinson; clerk
OF court, George ". Stewart; probate
judge, L H Bloxom; superintendent of
schools, H. E. Schrack: county attorney,
j. G. Ellis; commissioner, H. c. Piper.
The candidate for representative is a
Burton man. He is very popular through
out the county. The resolutions endorse
the national and state administrations
but made no recommendation for United
States senator. Everything is favorable
for a victory over an unholy, office-seek-
ing fusion this year.

The Caldwell Record thinks it
has found the stingiest man on earth
At any rate, it offers twenty-three
cents reward for his superior in close
fistedness. He got married to a
home girl to save expenses; they
walked around the block for a bridal
tour; he bought her nickle's worth
of candy as wedding present, and
then suggested that they save the
candy for their children.
