SECOND CLASS CITY
CONFERENCE ON JAN. 8
On That Date Committees from
Scranton, Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny Boards of Trade
Will Confer.

The conference between committees
from the boards of trade of the cities
of Scranton, Allegheny and PittsbuGg,
relative TO changes in the existing gem
eral laws governing cities of the sec
ond class, is to be held in Pittsburg on
Tuesday. January s. Messrs. ID. b.
Atherton and James II. Torrey. who
comprise the committee from the local
board of trade, will leave for the
Smoky City" next Monday.
Mr. Torrey, when seen by a Tribune
man yesterday afternoon and asked to
explain just what he thought would be
done at the conference, said:
'We will, [ presume, first inter-
change ideas on the advisability of
amending the present second-class city
laws and then map out some plan OF
action, which will, of course, embra ce
the preparation of such amendments
aa may be deemed necessary and the
furtherance of their passage through
the legislature.
Whatever changes are planned, the
suggestion for them must come, OF
course, from Pittsburg and Allegheny.
1t would be presumption on the part
of Mr.. Atherton and myself to go down
there with any amendments and sub
NIT them for the consideration of the
representatives of the other two cities.
who, of course, know from practical
experience more about the operation
of the second-class city laws than we
do. That would be simply a case of
the tail trying to wag the dog.
II think, however, that the better
element in these two cities is opposed,
as are the Majority of the leading citi-
2ens of this city, to that feature of
the second-class city law which per-
mits the councils to elect the heads OF
the three great departments instead OF
the people, and that an amendment
giving this power to- the people could
be agreed upon"
Mr. Torrey does not believe that the
proposed plan of creating four classes
Of cities, with Philadelphia in the first
class, Pittsburg in the second class,
Allegheny and Scranton in the third
class, and all the other cities of the
state in the fourth class, could be ever
carried into effect.
THE Supreme court" said he, would
| am sure, declare such a classiflcat tion
act unconstitutional. The members OF
that tribunal allowed the present clas-
sification act, but they have intlmated
that they would never recognize more
than three classes of cities"

THERE WAS NOISE GALORE.
New Century Ushered in with 6
Gerat Volume of Sound.

That most wonderful OF all the CEN
turtles since time began, the Nine
teenth, with its record of unsurpassed
development in every line OF human
activity, was ushered out al midnight
and the new Twentieth Century, with
it's glorious promises was ushered in
with the usual accompaniment Of
noise.
1t would seem that the records Of
previous years in this respect We're
surpassed. The racket began at en-
actly l1.50 and from that time until
1915 there was an ear-splitting chorus
of steam whistles, church bells, loco
motive bells, giant fire crackers and
other things.
The crowd on the streets was larger
than usual and many of the more en-
thusiastic young men discharged re-
volvers and firecrackers and gave eX-
cellent limitations of Comanche In
dians when 10 o'clock came in apace.
