Scranton has a powerful friend at
court in Harrisburg in the person Of
the deputy attorney general. Hon.
Frederic w. Flcitz. His position alone
would make him of valued assistance
to any seeking the favors that are
dispensed from Capitol Hill. but the
deputy attorney generalship is only an
incidental element in Mr.. Flcitz's pull.
His main influence comes from his
being hand in glove with the political
powers that are at present, and for
som" time very likely will be,in cOntro!
of the political end of the admnistri-
tiou.
Mr.. FleitZ Went to Harrisburg when
Il boy n q protege of senator Packer.
then one of the most influential men
in the capitol, and has been there viz
tuallN ever since, working himself mp
from executive clerk Of The senate To
the distinguished position hc now
holds, at the sam" time forging grad
ually but steadily ahead as a political
worker until now he Is found sitting
i'm the first councils Of the party, That
his work has not been without results
mcritinG recognition of a high order Is
attcsted by the fact that he Is the
most prominently mentioned of the
possible Successors to Hon. John p.
Elkin as attorney general.
one uf the elements which enters
largely into Mr.. Tleit2's success is his
readiness to do favor No man about
the executive building is subjected to
moro calls for an exercise Of his in
iluenc", anH no man more cheerily re-
spends To these calls To this not 4
few Scrantonians will attest.
En- senator NJ. Il. Mcdonald Is an
other and particularly prominent
type of the aggressive young men who
are doing so much to assure Scranton
future that will be- i'm keeping with it's
remarkably successful past and pres
ent.
lie has been and is active in many
lines OF activity tending TO the indus
trial advancement OF the Electric city
and the region of which II Is the CEN
ter, but the one achievement in this
regard, which stands out above the
others and wins for him an enduring
place in the ranks OF the city's up
builders, was the adding To Scranton
industrial wealth OF the quarter of "a
million dollar glass factory which last
week began operations just below the
southern boundary of the city in
Moosic borough. The company s
backed by some of most prominent
men In the state, including Attorney
General Elkin and state Treasurer

MRS. BURCH A GAMER
BY JUDGES DECISION

Mrs Elizabeth A. Burch, formerly
Miss Elizabeth A. Stockwell, whose ac-
ton for divorce against her husband
DIR. Thomas Burch of New York city,
has recently attracted attention is par
TALLY a gamer by a decision rendered
by Judge w. T. Forbes in the Probate
Court, yesterday. Property left to Mrs.
Burch by her mother and held in trust
was repaired. Mrs. Burch wanted the
expenses of the repairs, about $500,
taken from the principal of the trust
fund, but the heirs who will benefit in
the event of her death without issue
wanted the sum taken from the income
of the property.
The Worcester Safe Deposit & Trust
Company therefore brought petition
against Mrs. Burch, Odd Fellows
Home Miss Hattie MCGEE of Fitchburg,
Miss Minnie Bascom and Miss Leevey
Bascom of Hinsdale, N. H., and Miss
Alice Harlow of Roxbury, asking the
court TO apportion the expenses be-
tween the principal and the income.
Mrs. Burch received the life use of
the dwelling and real estate at 10 Har-
ward Street under the will of her
mother, Harriet E. Stockwel. The
principal reverts in various amounts to
the other respondents, if she dies child
less. At the request of Mrs. Burch
the Trust Company caused the prop
erty to be repaired at an expense of
SS46.5S; which Mrs. Burch claimed
should be paid from the principal, while
the other respondents claimed it should
be paid from the income
The court ordered a decree that the
expenditure made by the petitioners as
trustee be apportioned between theprin-
cipal and the income as follows: Out of
the principal $500 of the amount ex-
pended upon repairs, and the balance
from the income, besides which sums
aggregating $343.5O counsel fees for
Henry F. Harris, Webster Thayer and
Alfred S. Pinkerton, who represented
the various parties are allowed and
are TO be paid from the principal.

MYSTERY IN PLENTY
ABOUT MISSING GIRL

Mary Frances Price of Massachusetts
is missing and her parents and rela-
tives have instituted a vigorous search
in hopes of finding her. The young
woman came to Worcester in NoVem-
Der to visit relatives and she has since
been missing. Chief of Police William
]. E. Stone says that circulars sent out
by the Boston police in which, the ad
dress of the missing girl is given as
Worcester, are misleading as the
young woman does not have a home
in this city. Chief of Police Stone has
been bound to secrecy by members of
the family interested in the young
woman.
The young woman is described in a
circular from Boston as being IS years
old, about 8 feet, inches tall, light
complexioned, with light hair and blue
eyes. When she left home she wore a
green waist, dark skirt and sacque,
with fur bound black hat The rela-
tives of the young woman do not in
tend to let the public know any more
about Mary Frances Price beyond the
fact that she is missing and that
someone is expected to find her.
