TO EXTEND THE TIME.
Children Need Not Be Vaccinated
Until Feb. /.

President Jayne, of the board of
control, stated yesterday afternoon to
a Tribune man that the board at it's
meeting next Monday night would ex-
tend the time limit for the vaccination
of school children from Jan. Is to
Feb. l.
This would be done, lie said. because
it had been found that very large
number of children had not been vac
cinatcd and because the special COM
mittee of the board appointed TO con-
slider the vaccination question believ-
ed that these should not be deprived
of school privileges until they had time
to be vacclnated,
He said that after Feb. !, If it was
found that there were any children
who had not vet been vaccirated be-
| cause of lack of means, the board
would see that they were taken care of
at the expense of the school district.

THE AMENDMENTS.

lie said that the amendatory act
prepared by City Solicitor Vosburg
contained the provision giving the
mayor power TO appoint the heads of
he three big departments, which will
do away with the most glaring evil
OF the present act and accomplish just
what the business element in Pittsburg
and Allegheny want.
Tell it not in Goth, publish 1t not

he, but think that the committee
az it's meeting tomorrow night will de-
eide upon Amendment No. s. which will
give the councils of a second class city
the power to impose a reasonable tax
upon the gross receipts of street rail-
way companies"

sonallics; suffice It to say that those
who dig holes for others never fail
TO fall into them themselves. And as
what has been given out by Directory
man Williams, as having been said by
Wilson & Washers is wholly false, the
courts will determine how deep these
parties will be buried in the hole they
have dug for themselves.
Nevertheless. The Peoples Directory

MIR. NAGELrS JOKE.

Mr.. Nageli spoke against referring
the resolution to a committee, and un-
consciously sprung a joke which great
ly pleased the members present. 81
don't believe in referring this to a
committee" said he. There's been too
many committees visiting this COM
pany," and he sat down. amid great
laughter
Mr.. Alworth thought that the pres
ent was not an opportune time for the
adoption of a resolution forfeiting alb
solutely the franchises of the COM
pany. The company was still issuing
transfers on intersecting lines, he said,
and was not violating its franchises.
Chairman Calpin wanted to talk a
little on the resolution and he relin-
quished he chair to Mr.. Keller
"This resolution" said he, was pre-
pared by the city solicitor, who believes
that the proper thing for councils to
do is TO pass it. He believes that the
granting OF transfers can be enforced,
and we should be willing to stand by
him. What can this committee accom-
plish? They can't do any more than
get the company to revoke its order,
and that's what this resolution directs.
Its franchises will not be revoked If it
issues transfers
Mr. Phillips then arose and remarked
that "this company has got everything
it wanted from this city. and what II
didn't get 1t took" He said the peo-
pie demanded the passage of the reso-
luton, and that councils should stand
by the people.
The motion to refer to committee
was lost. Mr.. Keller and Mr.. Paine
being apparently the only ones who
voted for it. Then the motion to adopt
the resolution was adopted, and Mr.
Keller was the only member who voted
against it.

weaken, or are we going to 20 ahead
and do what the people of this city
want us to do? What can this COM
mittee do any more than this council
is going to do now? Would IL come in
and recommend that the company's or
der be accepted and that councils do
nothing to compel the company to
issue transfers? Pass the resolution,
say"
Mr.. oliver spoke in favor of the
adoption Of the resolution and against
the motion to refer. The vote on the
motion to refer was then taken and
lost by the following vote:
Yeas-Ross Finn, Melvin, Chittenden, schnci.
der, Wagner.

drew-l0.
The resolution was then adopted by
a viva voce vote and was taken over
to the common council, which was
then in session. 1t was read and
Judge Knapp then made the same an
nouncement that he had made before
in the select council. Mr.. Keller moved
that the resolution be referred 10 the
railways committee, saying:
I'm not ready to support that reso-
luton as ii stands. I think that this
transfer question is a most unfortu-
nate one and that the Scranton Rail-
way company or certain Of it's officials
is more to blame for 1t than anyone
else. When the letter. signed by the
general manager, announcing the pro-
posed abolition Of the transfer system,
was published, 1 said end I repeat il
now, that the man who would write
such a thing and fling it back at the
people made a mistake.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.


no man who represents a corporation
which depends upon the public for It's
existence has the right to say what
he said in that letter. 1t was u direct
insult to every self-respecting citizen
OF this city. think that when the
company officials come to their scnses
they'll rescind that order.
THE public has the right 70 demand
transfers from this corporation as It
has the right to demand clean cars.
sentlemanly conductors and that its
employees be paid a fair days wage for
fair days work, and that 1t pay II
fair share OF taxes the same as you
and !. want to put myself on rec
ord as saying that at present the
Scranton Railway company is not pay
ing anything like the amount OF taxes
1t should pay. and that I will stand
by any movement TO compel it to pay
such taxes.
"I think that We should go slow in
this matter. Let it be referred to a
committee and let that committee see
what the company has got to say on
the question. IF they don't want to
give transfers, We can then adopt this
resolution"
Mr.. Paine TOOK the same view or the
| question as did Mr.. Keller. He thought
that councils should keep cool, and that
a great city like Scranton could not af-
| ford to be vindictive. He believed that
the company should bear its just bur-
den of taxation for the benefits which
it received. He thought, however, that
it was no more than right or proper
to confer with the company officials
| Nothing would be lost by it. and il
they refused to withdraw the obnox-
ious order, councils could then pass
| the resolution.

Is INSURGENTS KILLED
AND THREE CAPTURED

Manila, Oct. 27.-The constabulary
report a fight with insurgents near
Passi, province of Ilioilo in Which 20
insurgents were killed and three cap
tured, together with a quantity of arms
and ammunition.
The news from Gen. Hughes regard
ing conditions in the island of Cebu
is encouraging. Lorega has surrender
ed with his entire force and one can
non and seven rifles, while Gen. Hughes
is negotiating for the surrender of
Maxilio who styles himself governor
politico-m ilitare. His surrender will
mean the pacification of the province
Lack of food and the harrassing ef-
fects of the aggressive tactice now puf-
sued by the American forces having
influence upon the natives. In many
places where rice is doled out by the
government only enough is given for
one meal. so that it is hardly possible
for any large quantity to find its way
to the insurgents.
1t is believed that the recent mani
festations in the island of Samar were
chiefly due to the lack of food, the in
surgents finding it necessary to make
outlets to the coast in order to OBJ
tain this.
The first labor problem growing out
of the new tariff has arisen. A hat and
umbrella factory employing 900 hands,
has found it necessary to close. The
lawyers are making protest to the
commission, urging protection, as the
same goods from Germany can be sold
at half the cost of manufacture here.

Real Estate Chatter

John H. Donnelly has developed into
a full fiedged auctioneer, and has been
welding the hammer quite vigorously
of late Mr.. Donnelly has also several
transactions of material value at his
rooms at ATS Main Street.
The Spy makes a speciality Of adver-
Using real estate for sale, and buyers
and sellers would do well to remember
this fact. The Spy reaches a class of
readers that has the money to invest in
real estate. Its circulation Is broadcast
and reaches the houses of the majority
of people in Worcester city and county.
H. r. Sanders in the Walker build
ing has, perhaps, as good line of real
estate bargains on his books as any
man in Worcester.
c. Maher & Son, Walker building, is
another firm in which the public has
every confidence, and many fine tran
saction has been made through this
firm of late.
The various farm agencies in the city
are expecting a good business for the
next four weeks. November is the
month in the fall when the tiller of the
soil has time to consider possible
changes, while, in the spring, March
and April are his leisure months.
Rich Brothers, located in Knowles
building, have some admirable book
ings worth careful scrutiny.
Pierce, as usual, is on the jump cater
ing to the wants of his fast increasing
clientage.
Duprey's announcements have no un-
certain sound in his particular line OF
