THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES.
Washington Party Easily Van
quished the Mckinley.

James McGaan and Charles Coglizer
are the successful candidates for pres
ident and vice president respectfully
on the Washington party. 1t was an
easy victory and the unsuccessful par
ty has been shattered beyond repair.
A week yesterday nominations were
made for president and vice president
Of the Boys Industrial association on
the Mckinley and Washington parties.
All last week the two parties fought
strenuously at the polls to land their
candidates. Thursday night the last
ballots were cast and 1t was intended
that the result would be known last
night.
The boys were impatient and de-
manded the computation of the vote,
which was carried out by judges and
inspectors of election and other Off
cials found at the full fiedged voting
booth. Intense excitement prevailed
among the citizens of the little repub-
lie, which did not abate until the re-
suit was announced, and then the
members of the victorious party made
haste to give vent to their feelings.
The platform of the Washington par
~ believes In beneficial societies, the
abolishment of visitors tickets and
that all boys who do not regularly at
tend their company meetings should
lose their trades.
The defeated party stood for an in
spector of the peace and an assistant
for the payment of the dues semi-an-
nually and for secret service detectives

Stone Makes Complaint.

Joseph d. Stone yesterday began an
action in equity against the Penn To-

case We're filed by Attorneys Vosburg

II is set forth that in October, 1907.
the Penn Tobacco company was in
corporated in this state, with a capi-
tai of $4,000. Stone was selected as
manager by the board of directors at
a salary of S7j a month up to Oct. J.,
1900; 800 month up to Jan. !, 1901,
and $l25 a month thereafter.
stone also alleges that there was a
provision in the contract to the effect
that when the business, on a cash
basis, showed q net earning of three
per cent. on $l5o,OOo the company
would issue and deliver to- him paid up
stock in the company to the value Of
$4,000. In December, Russell uhl. a
stockholder, bought Il controlling in

ness Of the company. This was done
he alleges, for the purpose of prevent

! such shape that he would be enab' cd
to earn the $4,000 in paid up stock.
| Because of the change in the grade

HATTON DID NOT
HANDLE ANY MONEY
Made Complete Denial of the Sto-
ries Told at Previous Hearings
About Him and Thomas.

Attorney George S. Horn and IL. c.
Hatton. private secretary to Mayor
James Moir were examined at yester-
cilmen accused of accepting brlbes and
committing perjury. Nothing Of any
Importance was elected.
Mr.. Horn was secretary and treas
urer of the Lackawanna Telephone
company after II was organized but
sold out his interests after an unsuc-
cessful effort to get a franchise from
councils. Some of the stockholders
said Ii would be difficult to combat the
opposition of the old company unless
money was used but Mr.. Horn declined
to be party to the using of money in
councils and after a time the affairs
Of the company passed into other
hands. Since then he has had nothing
to do with It. Altogether about $2,21O
was spent by the company while 1t was
in existence. He could not say that
any of this money was used I'm councils.
Mr.. Hatton was questioned at length
about the deal referred TO at previous
hearing to the effect that he suggested
that the vote of Simon Thomas for the
new telephone ordinance could be OBJ
tained If the license for his hotel was
taken care of by the officials of the new
company. Hatton denied in q most
vigorous way that he had ever made
such proposition to any person In be-
half of Thomas and he also denied ever
having received and paid $500 10
Thomas.
He was questioned at some length
about recent meetings between him
and Simon Thomas and Morris V. Nor
ris. but nothing OF consequence was
brought out. There will be another
hearing Monday. w. NJ. Finn was
called yesterday, but did not respond
