CAPIASES FOR THREE
VIOLATORS OF LAW
They Will Be Brought in and Court
Asked to Impose the Sentences
Suspended Some Time Ago.

Court yesterday granted capiaSeS at
the request of District Attorney Jones
for A. l.. Dunleavy, of Cedar avenue;
Mrs. Catherine Crane of CapOuse ave-
nue., and Mrs. Catherine Cannon, of
victed at the last term of court with
having sold liquor without a license.
Sentence was suspended in each case
The prosecutor in each case was the
agent Of the Municipal league, and it
was at the suggestion of the leagues
attorneys that the district attorney
asked for the capiases. A suspension
of sentence was agreed to by the
league in the case of Mrs. Cannon upon
her agreement to discontinue the ille-
gal traffic in liquor.
There was yesterday presented to the
court an affidavit signed by Agent
Robert Wilson setting forth that Mrs
Cannon has since her trial persisted
in selling intoXicants. She was yes
terday afternoon taken into custody
and was remanded to the county Jail
in the custody Of the sheriff until next
Saturday, when she will be sentenced.
The suspension of sentence in the
cases of Duneavy and Mrs. Crane was
granted by Judge Love, of Bellefonte,
whom the league believes was ignorant
of the real state of affairs. 1t Is con-
tended that the illegal traffic In liquor
by these two was especially fagrant
and that it would be a serious miscar-
riage of justice, indeed, If they were
allowed to go unpunished. Neither has
yet been taken into custody.

Committee HAS
GOT DOWN TO WORK
Is Considering the Manner in Which
School Affairs Will Be Affected
by Second Glass City.

The special committee appointed by
the board of control to act for that
body, in consultation cor otherwise"
regarding the passage Of legislation
for cities of the second class or for
Scranton If she should enter that class
has already got down to business.
The members appreciate the fact that
1t will be necessary to secure the pass
age of some sort of new legislation for
cities of the second class inasmuch az
the only general act governing school
affairs in such cities has been declared
unconstitutional and they are accord
ingly studying the act of 1895 for the
purpose of obtaining ideas which might
be adopted or Incorporated in a new
act
Their examination and study of the
act of 1895 is. however, not entirely for
the purpose of obtaining ideas and sug-
gestions. There Is always the possi-
bility that the Supreme court might
reverse it's decision of 1896 and declare
the act constitutional. Such declara
tion would have been in line with it's
ruling in the Giligan case as noted in
these columns week ago.
In order to get another ruling on this
act it would, of course. be necessary for
a test case to be brought. That is to
say it would be necessary to have a
board of fifteen school directors as pro-
vided by this act. elected and then to
have them fight out their title to their
seats in the courts as did the board of
six. Whether there are any aspirants
for board of fifteen and whether
either party will nominate candidates
for such a board is as yet unknown.
At any rate, as mentioned before,
there is a possibility that Scranton
might go under this act. and If she did,
in the opinion of the members of the
committee, it would prove ruinous to
her. They are. therefore, desrous of
having the act amended If it will be
found impossible to secure the passage
Of new act
The reasons why the system pro-
vided for in the act of 1895 would be
ruinous to this city are. in the eyes of
the committee, manifold. The prin-
cipal reason is because of sub-school
districts or one district for each ward
1t was at first thought and generally
believed up to the first meeting of the
committee that the creation of these
board and not mandatory.
1t Is understood. however, that the
boards solicitor Attorney d. j. Reedy
has unqualitiedly stated that under
the act of 1895 these boards must be
created. Each sub board in each ward
is given power to issue bonds in the
sum of 100000 so that in this way the
total Indebtedness of this school dis
trict could be increased to Just eX-
actly $2,l00,0OO which would mean at
per cent. just $50, 1000 per year interest.
With such a system of sub-school
districts the general school board like
the mayor of second class city, is
shorn of nearly all it's powers. Such
system exists in Pittsburg at the pres
ent time and Is not giving any kind OF
satisfaction.
The committee will meet again some
time this week and the views of the
members will be heard and discussed.

Colleges of Commerce..

No business man can be too well train
ed.
No business can have too well trained
workers in its service.
The best training for business man is
the ability TO think.
1t is usually impossible to determine
in advance what business a man in col
lege will enter.
1t is therefore usually wise not to en-
phasize strongly the element OF mere
knowledge in preparing for business
training.
II one have a well trained mind, he Is
prepared to learn any business with ease.
SO that he can conduct it with whatever
success it Is in him to make.
The plan for the establishment of col
leges OF commerce is in peril of substi-
tuting knowledge for power, information
for ability to think.-Professor Thwing
