WILSON SAID JURORS
WERE influenced
Juror John j. Coyne Overheard Him
and Called the Attention of Judge
Cameron to the Matter.

John j. Coyne. of Minooka. who is
one of this weeks panel of jurors,
asked permission yesterday morning
to make a statement to Judge David
Cameron, in No. ..
Mr.. COyne was one of the jurors
who passed upon the case of Thomas
Norton, charged with selling liquor
without a license which was tried
Tuesday. Mr.. Coyne said he over
heard Mr.. Wilson say in the corridor
to several men that some of the Nor
ton jurors had been tampered with.
Not resiring to rest under this inn
putation, Mr.. Coyne demanded that
Mr.. Wilson be compelled to retract
his words or make them specific. 1t
was IL reflection on every one Of the
jurors, Nh. Coyne said.
Judge Cameron decided that mas
much as no charges had been made
to the court about the jurors, he would
not be justified in going into a con-
sideration of corridor gossip.
Mr.. Wilson. when seen later in the
day by Tribune man, said: II was
not in court when Mr.. Coyne asked
that be brought in. l can say that
am not given to making rash state
ments and am always prepared to
stand by what / say"

Committee WAITED
ON Mr.. SILLIMAN
Representatives of Motormens' and
Conductors Union Yesterday
Presented Grievances.

General Manager Silliman. of the
Scranton Railway company, was wait
ed upon yesterday by a committee Of
six, representing the Motormen's and
Conductors union, who presented to
him a list of grievances which We're
put before the union at meeting
held early yesterday morning in Econ
omy hall.
They were framed by special COM
mittee appointed for the purpose at
last weeks meeting Of the association,
and more pay and shorter hours"
expresses the giss of their demands.
The committee was in conference with
Manager Silliman from about II
O'clock until late in the afternoon. The
company will consider the mems re-
quests and give an answer within II
few days.
One of the principal concessions de-
sired by the street car men is Il change
in the wage scale, which will provide
for ten hours work at 20 cents an
hour, instead of twelve hours work
for l6 2-3 cents per hour.
The days pay is the same in either
case, but the hours are shortened, and
this constitutes an important item. At
present Il man must be on duty six
teen hours day.

Will Not Interfere.
Pittsburg and Allegheny, II is fair
~ safe to say, will not interfere with
any plans of this character Scranton
may formulate and attempt to carry
out. In a conversation with The Trib-
une correspondent. Senator Finn, be-
lieving 1t was a settled fact that
Scranton was opposed TO the transit
ton. remarked: "Why cont you have
the limit raised and stay in the third
class?' He was told that Scranton
was undecided as to whether or not it
wished to enter the second class
We'll" said the senator, 1.-THE second
class charter Is satisfactory to Allc-
gheny and there Is no reason can sec
why it should not work successfully In
Scranton. The two cities are about
OF the same size"
Lately, however, there has been a
slow but still noticeable developmeng
OF u feeling among some of the state
politicians that Scrantons entrance
into the second class should be en-
couraged. They think. so 1t would ap-
pear. that with Scranton seeking new
legislation. or amendments to existing
legislation, in OPPOSITION to wishes OF
Pittsburg, the representatives from
this city and the surrounding dis
tricts would be open to negotiations.
and could be Won over to their way
of thinking in factional affairs, by
using the needs of secord-class Scratl-
ton as lever.
If it does not come to pass that
Scranton will be looking for new legis-
lstion. this. thing Of factional politics
in the state at large will have to be
reckoned with. Whether it will work
TO our good or i'll remains to be seen.
Largely it will depend on the shrewd-
ness Of our local representatives.

TIME FOR GERMdNY TO WAKE UP.
Max Nordau is in the habit of saying
things calculated to arrest attention
His latest is a warning to Germany.
He tells her that she must wake up if
she would not fall back to the position
of second-rate power, He sees fate
threatening her in the advance that is
being made by Russia and the English
speaking races. 'All of North America
to the Mexican frontier" he says, land
all of Australia are British or Anglo
Saxon, so the English-speaking races
have room and territory, the possession
of which will never be contested, in
which to increase to the number of 600,-
100000 or 100000, O00" Besides this enor-
nous population there are to be 100000
900 of Russians, while the Germans can
not hope to increase beyond the limit of
1OO,O0O,O0O, unless they work for colonial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. A loss of influence
must be the inevitable result.
This is impressive and plausible. And
it is not to be forgotten that Germany
may not always have such war lord
as she has now.

THE INFLUENCE OF BABEL.

The Chinese minister is profoundly
affected, as we all are, by the result of
the building of Babel. The numerous
languages, sub-languages and dialects
of the world hinder seriously, he thinks,
the progress and unity of mankind.
We are not so sure about the progress,
though we admit the unity in great
part. Those who have studied most
profoundly the history of an important
part of mankind-we think, naturally,
the most important-viz., Europe, have
been of opinion that the diversity of
Europe has been it's leading progressive
element.
Suppose that at the overthrow of the
western empire some one of the great
Teutonic tribes had imposed it's Ian
guage on Europe, or that the debased
Latin of the fifth century had been re-
ceived and assimilated everywhere.
Europe might have been in consequence
a unit to-day, but the rich and varied
growths of European literature would
not have existed. Uniformity would
have prevailed, and the impact of mind
on mind, of race on race of speech on
speech, of thought on thought, would
have been lost to mankind. Think of a
Europe in which French, English, Ital-
ian, Spanish and German literature had
never come to the birth, but in which
some one great tongue had tried in
vain to express mans varied mind.
The Chinese minister, coming from
vast and comparatively uniform en-
pire, can perhaps scarcely realize with
adequate force what we in Europe
should have lost. Nor are we quits
sure that the unity would have been
gained in anything like the degree sup
posed. Unity and uniformity are very
different things; and the profoundest
unity ever effected, or that can be eff
fected, was produced by a religion
which was developed in great cosmo-
politan cities where scores of lam
guages were spoken by It's converts.
We remember, of course, the great aid
rendered by Greek to Christianity, but
1t was an aid perhaps more on its philo-
sophical side than on the side of every,
day human speech, Racial unity is
the next great uniting bond, but racial
unity is not the same as linguistic uni
ty; and we see to-day people-lke the
Belgians and French, the Italians of It.

FASHION NOT ES.
Styles In Wraps Multiply.


A year ago the one new fashion in
outside garments was the cutaway coat
with it's characteristic circular ruffle,
When this winter opened that garment
had been done to death from the fash
ionable woman's viewpoint. Its success
sor was a box coat OF ugly but equally
characteristic appearance. For a few
weeks it seemed as if this would be
worn as generally as was its predeces-
sor as if the only alternative would be
an expensive resort to furs. But so
many women voted the hox-coat too
conspicuous, even sporty, that the de-
signers got to work. A busy time they
have had, to judge by the variety Of
cloth wraps they've turned out Most
of them were marked by excellent taste
so the box coat has become permissi-
BILE fashion, not universal one.
A majority of these newcomers are
of full length, though many are cut
away deeply in front. Few that touch
the ground in back are SO long in front

MOTHS IN M4SSI IT'S ETTS

In his message to the Legislature the
governor of Massachusetts did not
mention the gypsy moth, but that
| wasn't because there isn't any gypsy
moth to mention. Perhaps in view Of
the vast amount of money Massachu-
sets has spent on the aforesaid insect
aod in view of the fact that there is a
vast amount of doubt about the whole
business, the governor didn't know ex-
actly what to say. But the Massachu-
setts Board of Agriculture doesn't imi-
tate the governor and keep silent about
the gypsy moth. 1t speaks, and it
cheeringly says that the fight against
the moth is near its finish. The board
says that large colonies of the moth
have been practically wiped out, small
er colonies exterminated or brought I'M
der control and that the campaign has
reached the point where two or three
seasons of continued work will result in
the complete determination of the
moths. The board estimates the annual
loss from this moth, If it spreads over
the State, at not less than $1,000,000,
most of which will fall on the farmers.
In these circumstances it urges strong
ly the passage by the legislature of APP
propriations ample to carry on the
work AS to the brown-tailed moth,
the board Is not hopeful. 1t believes a
crusade against this will be practically
waste of money.
Connecticut has a vital interest in
this matter, and can reasonably hope
that Massachusetts will spend all the
money that is needed to extermnate
the deviish gypsy moth. And perhaps
the brown-tailed moth wont want to
come down this way.

The Masters Friend.

The master must to distant land,
With a foreign foe to fight;
And the masters wife was glad of it.,
But she hid her false delight
And came to him with fearful face
And begged of him to stay;
But the masters hound was sorry,
And 1t went and 1t hid away.
The masters ship, from the harbor's
mouth.
Beat out to the stormy. sea;
And his wife staid late at my lady's ball,
Rejoicing to be free.
They said she shone like jewel there
And she heard it with delight.
But she could not sleep for the masters
hound
For 1t howled through the livelong night.
The master died--he was shot to death
In that land beyond the sea-
And they brought his body home, to lie
In a grave by the cypress tree:
And the masters widow hid her face
And made believe she cried
But the masters hound stuid by his grave
iii 1t starved to death--and died.

lCO-OPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.
An experiment often suggested but
never thoroughly tried in Philadelphia,
| Is to be made by the trustees of the Gil
rard estate, who have exceptional facil-
tiles for carrying it into successful OPP
GRAFTON. A block of dwellings to be
built on Porter street, close by Girard
Park, in the southern part of the city,
Will be furnished with light and heat
from central plant for a small month
~ addition to the rent. The houses will
nave small garden plots in front, and
the care of these will also be assumed
by the estate
such a system of heating and light
ing is SO obviously economical and SO
well adapted to the Philadelphia plan
of building houses in large blocks of
uniform design, it seems strange that 1t
has not been tried before. The reason
IS, no doubt, that these houses are built
Tor sale, and the builder, no expects to
dispose of them as quickly as possible,
does not care to retain any further re-
sponsiblity. A common heating and
lighting plant could be maintained
only by the cooperation of the individ-
ual owners.
The trustees of the Girard estate are
in different position. They are build
ing these houses to rent They have
ample capital to give them complete
equipment and the organization to adj
MINISTER it in the best way The ex-
pertinent can thus be tried by them I'M
der the most advantageous conditions,
and if it's advantages are apparent to
the tenants, it will encourage the adop-
ton of a similar system elsewhere.
J Indeed, the idea is capable of a much
wider development, There are many of
the cares Of housekeeping that could be
very much reduced by cooperation
the residents of block. A part
at least of the cooking could be done in
a common kitchen, and cooperative
laundry is certainly not an extravagant
dream. With all the improvements in
the construction of our dwellings, very
little advance has been made in the
methods of housekeeping, which still Of

Times.
