QUINkAN'S REPORT
WAS HOTLY ATTACKED
Matter of the Indebtedness of Lacka-
wanna Township Up for Con
sideration in Court.

A large part of the morning session
OF court yesterday was taken up by ar
guments on the exceptions to the re-
port of Hon. John p. Quinnan, COM
missioner in the matter of the indebt-
edness of Lackawanna township.
1t will be remembered, Mr.. Quinnan
in his report essayed to select the goo I
from the bad claims, as he viewed them
under the law and the evidence, and
then throw out what he considered bad.
The total Indebtedness of the town
ship, summing up all the presented
claims. was in round numbers SAC, 900.
Mr.. Quinnan threw out about $50 900
worth of these claims. Yesterday the
attorneys representing these disallowed
claims strove to have court send back
the report to the commissioner with in
structions to include their respective
claims in the approved list.
Among the attorneys who took turns
at tearing up the commissioners find
ings We're. Beers Il Grambs, Joseph
O'Brien, willard, Warren & Knapp,
Walter Briggs, Welles & Torrey, George

The following dispatch from Wash
ington. n. c., appeared in yester-
days Philadelphia Press;
Representative Connell's contingent
candidacy for United States senator
from Pennsylvania, as announced in
the Press. of today, has aroused the
keenest interest among Pennsylva-
mans in Washington. When seen by
the Press correspondent this evening.
Mr. Connell corroborated the state
ment that he would be " candidate In
case Colonel Quay did not receive
majority vote of the Legislature upon
the first vote cast in joint session. He
frankly declared, however. that, he
was friendly to Colonel Quay's can
didacy. and did not want his own posi-
tion misunderstood.
"Mr. Connells attitude is believed
to reflect the opinion of Colonel Ouay's
hest friends and that is that If not
elected on the first ballot, Colonel
Quay has no chance of winning the
senatorship. The latter it is believed,
also is convinced of this and has made
up his mind to withdraw if he fails
to secure an election on the first bal
lot. AS already stated in these dis.
pulCIFS, lIIelc iS Sooi iSo-'oh W w
lieve that Colonel Quay. in the event
of his own defeat, will endeavor to
give his strength to II. w. Oliver, of
Pittsburg. In the opinion of most of
the Pennsylvanians here who are in
terested in the contest, it will be i'm
possible for Quay to deliver the goods
to Oliver.
THAT the contest will be very close
has been admitted by the most loyal
friends of Colonel Quay, and the prob
ability of the ex-senator failing, as he
did two years ago, has led to much
quiet work being done in the interest
of other candidates. The friends OF
Mr.. Conrell have been active in the
northeastern part of the state and
have secured promises from influential
powers in other localities Of support
when the Scranton congressman en-
ters the field MS an active, aggressive
candidate. 1t is urged in his behalf
that he has not been a radical machine
man. but is ready to lend his aid TO
the reorganization of the party In the
state upon lines of justice to all good,
honest Republicans. He has openly
espoused the cause of Colonel Quay.
but does not indorse all that is done
in the name of the latter by those who
operate the Quay machine
