TWO SLICK swINDLERs.
They Use a False Measure in Selling
Vegetables.

The public is warned to look after
two crooks who are masquerading as
farmers, and who quite successfully
worked the Thirteenth ward yesterday.
They have potatoes and apples for
sale and when they make sales show
a bushel basket full of their wares.
They visited Mrs. Il. f. Chamberlin
yesterday and for some reason her
suspicious were aroused by the man
ner of the man who went to the
cellar with vegetables. She followed
him and discovered that he was pour
ing the very smallest bushel of pota-
toes into the barrel which she ever re-
membered seeing.
Against his protestations she insist
ed on examining the basket when she
found smaller basket nicely fitted
within a larger one. enabling him to
give a half bushel for the price of a
full measure. She made him take
away his potatoes and telephoned for
an officer, but up to date saw no ar
rests made. The men are described as
rough looking individuals who are
evidently not farmers at all, but simply
swindlers.

HARTLEY GETS BACK
AT The CITY CLERK
Says All Balances Have Been Prop
erly Transferred and That Mr..
Lavelle Assumed Powers.

Deputy City Controller Charles A..
Hartley stated most emphatically yes
terday to Tribune man that all bal
ances from the appropriation of 1899
subject to be merged and not other
wise provided for had been trans
ferred on his books to the judgments
and incidentals account for this year.
THE city clerk Is wrong" said he,
when he asserts that we have not
complied with the provisions of the
last clause of the appropriation ordi-
nance and there is no reason for the
introduction of the ordinance which he
has caused to be introduced repeating
that clause.
"These balances have all been trans
ferred with the exception of those left
in appropriations made for specific i'm
provements and these we cannot trans
fer because the councils themselves
have directed US not to. The city clerk
has been contending and charging and
counter-charging all along that We've
been doing things contrary to law in
this office, but If the truth were known
he's the one that's been doing that.
He has been assuming functions all
along which he has no right to assume.
His duties are purely ministerial but
he has been assuming executive au-
thorty. Just one case in point An or
dinance passed reappropriating a bal
ance which remained in an account for
setting circular curb stones on II GER
tain street.
THE mayor signed the measure and
II went to the city clerk, whose duty
it was to Immediately certify copy of
Ii to this office. He failed to do this
for two whole months after 1t had re-
ceived the signature of the mayor be-
cause he contended that there should be
no balance remaining; that we should
have transferred it when any person
who knows anything at all could un-
derstand plainly that it was for spe l.
fic improvement and could not be
transferred.
''The court today in the opinion
handed down in the Barber Asphalt
case holds that he has no authority to
say what warrants shall be drawn and
what shall not be drawn and that he
has no discretionary power That's
| what we've always contended in this
| office. We've contended that he has
been usurping power and so he has,
but | guess there will be no further
trouble in that direction"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-01-22
CITY CLERK MUST
ISSUE WARRANTS
Judge Archibald Directs That Per-
emptory Writ of Mandamus Is
sue to City Clerk Lavelle.

Judge Archibald yesterday granted
peremptory writ of mandamus to COM
pei City Clerk Martin Il. Lavelle to
issue warrants for the amounts due
former Patrolmen James Saul and
stephen Dyer, whose claims We're re-
Gently passed upon favorably by the
city councils. In his opinion Judge
Archibald says:
while the city clerk is an import
ant public functionary the duties
given him by ordinance do not extend
to the auditing and checking up of the
various city appropriations, nor watch
ing to see when and how they are
drawn up or exhausted. 1t is for the
controller to look after these things,
and as he has undertaken to act in the
premises and approved the plaintiffs
claims, according to the respondents
own statement, that is the end of it.
While the police appropriation may be
exhausted, the controller has charged
these claims to the fund for judgments
and incidentals, due, no doubt, to the
fact that the rights of the REALTORS
have been adjudicated and sustained
by the judgment of this court, and it
Is not for the respondent to question
this action
Much less can he pretend to say in
what order claims against the city,
which have passed the councils, shall
be approved and paid. Where the
claim is a legal one, and he has been
directed to draw a warrant on the
treasurer to pay II, he has no option
but to do so and send it TO the con-
troller to be countersigned. 1t then
becomes the duty of that officer to eX-
anime the appropriation accounts kept

city clerk could assume this function
and hang up a claim legally before
him for a warrant, on his idea of what
ought or ought not to be.

an appeal has been taken from the
judgment of this court in favor of the
relator James Saul, and that the

of councils and although this was
vetoed by the mayor 1t has been sub

therefore goes for naught That the
councils could settle Il lltigated case in
this manner Is beyond question, and
