MAGISTRATES ARE WORRYING
They Are Wondering if They Are
Going to Get Their Salaries.

The police magistrates are beginning
to wonder whether they are going ia
get any salaries this year or not. The
ordinance fixing their salaries was
iinally passed by the common council
nearly two months ago, after il had
been amended so as To make the sal
AIRY of each $i00 per annum, but il has
not yet been reported from the police
committees of select council.
Select Councilman Melvin called if
up last Thursday night, but it could
not be considered, as the committee
had not yet considered it. In fact, the
majority Of the members of the COM
mttee apparently knew nothing about
the ordinance being in their hands. An
effort will be made to have a meeting
of the committee before next Thurs
day night.
The central city police magistrates
have organized a little lobby to have
the ordinance amended SO as to bring
1t back to its original form, gradual
ing the salaries of the magistrates ac-
cording to the amount Of work actually
done. This would give the central city
magistrates, who bear the brunt of the
work, larger salary than those resi-
dent in North, South and West Scran-
ton.

The Yellow Kids Again.

The police are at loss to know
what to do with the troublesome yell
low kid gang, the members of which
arc constantly in trouble. Saturday
night Patrolman Peters arrested Syl-
vester Graham, of Hennessy court, for
recklessly discharging a Flobert rife
on North Main avenue.
When the boy was arraigned before
Police Magistrate Davies, he pleaded
ignorance of any wrong doing. and his
mother helped his case along by a
fearful plea for lenienCy. The magis-
trate's heart was touched by the APP
peal, and he discharged the boy.
The police feel that it is useless to
arrest these youthful offenders, when
they are repeatedly discharged with
roprimand," and as soon as they get
out of their scrapes they are into some
mischief again.
The larcnts allow the boys to roam
the streets at all hours of the day and
night particularly at night and ar
resting them does little good.
