ment Court Yesterday-Many

as is the practice of the court in such
cases, and the matter will then be
heard.

CASE OF THE rLANAaHANs.

CASE OF THE FLANAGHANS.
Stephen Flanaghan and Thomas
Flanaghan, father and son. who live
on Luzerne street, were convicted last
week of keeping speakeasy. They
had a plea made in their behalf by
Attorneys Frank Lynch and Ralph
Levy. Colonel Hitchcock and Mr..
Beers, attorneys for the Mems union,
opposed vigorously suspension of sem
tence in these cases, saying the men
on trial had added perjury to their
other offenses by the testimony during
the trial.
The attorneys said the Flanaghans
have been selling since they were in
dicted, and they had evidence that as
late as "a week ago last Saturday father
and son were behind the bar in the
place. Owing to the youthfulness of the
boy, he being but sixteen years, the
court decided to suspend sentence in
his case, but sentenced the father to
pay a fine of $500, costs, and three
months in the county Jail.
Michael Horan, who pleaded guilty to
selling without a license in North
Scranton, got three months, a fine Of
$500 and costs, Notwithstanding strong
pleas by Attorneys John f. Murphy
and r. H. Holgate in his behalf. He
Is married man with four children
and several dependent relatives.
Mrs. Mary Visoli, who pleaded guilty
to shoplifting, escaped with thirty
days. She has been in Jail for six
months awaiting trial. Her attorney,
c. S. Oliver. urgently pleaded with the
court for clemency in her case. He
said her husband, who has escaped ar
rest, was the real culprit.
DIR. KNAPPS CASE.
DR.. C. r. Knapp, Of Forest City, was
not present when his name was called
for sentence, but his attorney promised
that he will be in court today. Sem
tence in the case of Attorney George
Beale, convicted some time ago of en-
bezzlement, was postponed until the
next term.
Harry. Oblinger, who pleaded guilty
to keeping a gambling house, was fined
$40 and costs, and the same sentence
was imposed upon Francis Treon.
Libbie Young, one of the famous
family of that name, of Carbondale,
who are SO frequently seen in criminal
court, and who has been detained in
the county Jail as a witness, was re-
leased yesterday on 5000 bail, furnished
by her mother, Harriet Young.

A feature OF parliamentary practice
peculiar TO this country. OF which little
IL heard In comparison with its i'm
portance. is the conference committee.
A bill before congress seldom passes
the house and the senate In the same
form; freQently the differences are i'm
portant, and unless one house will ac-
cept as whole the doings of the other.
which rarely happens. the measure
must go to conference" as the phrase
Is. Three members are appointed from
each house. two OF the majority party
and one OF the minority. usually the
members who have had most to do
with the passage OF the bill. the details
OF which are stlll In dispute. When n
conference committee begins It's ses-
sions to adjust differences upon n par
~ measure, only the representative
OF the majority party. which would
now mean the four Republicans. ordi-
narily attend. ms soon az they reach
an agreement. the two Democrats are
called In for formal assent. since they
have no real power OF resistance. Tho
representatives OF each house nro ex-
peeted to strive for the bill as II passed
the body OF which they are members.
even though they personally may have
favored the form In which II passed

The meridian of Greenwich is gener-
ally accepted as the starting-line from
which to reckon longitude and time all
over the earth. But objections are,
from time to time raised against the
universal adoption of the Greenwich
meridian for such purposes. Recently
Italian savants have emphasized these
objections by pointing out that on the
meridian of Greenwich clouds and bad
weather are frequent, interfering with
astronomical observations. They sug-
gest that the civilized world should
agree to adopt the meridian of Jerusa-
lem as common reference line. be-
cause there the skies are clearer, and
the possibility of making Palestine
neutral territory would eliminate pol
itical objections.

After the unfortunate war in South
Africa is over, a scientific problem Of
much interest will be presented to the
engineers of the Transvaal gold mines.
Some of the shafts recently opened
on the Rand are expected to go down
1000 or 5000 feet in search of gold
bearing veins, but in the future. Mr..
John Yates says. it may be necessary
to descend $1,000 feet. That. he thinks
will be about the limit of depth at
which men can work. because the tenn
perature there will be at least 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Other engineers
think the shafts could be sunk several
thousand feet lower through the adop-
tion of devices for cooling the air.

Some of the problems of war which
seem new are in reality old. For ex-
ample, the South African Beers have
been most successful in concealing the
positions of their guns until the Brit
ish battalions were exposed to destruc-
tive fire. They have adopted a device
for defensive operations in the field,
which is the chief motive OF all the
great coast and frontier fortifications.
Visitors at Halifax. Dover or Gibraltar
are only allowed to see the parade
grounds and barracks. The secrets Of
the fortresses are not disclosed. There
are guns OF long range, which are con-
cealed by terraces Of grass or by OBJ
structions of various kinds. In time
of war these hidden guns would sud-
denly be brought to bear upon al
enemy's fleet
