PHILIPPINE NUMBERING.

Mrs. Thomas Cary Of North scran-
ton, Says That the Missing Mrs.
White Is Living Here.

According to a statement made last
night by Mrs. Thomas Cary, of East
Market street, to Lieutenant of Police
Day. of North Scranton, Mrs. Albert
White. who is supposed by many to
have been murdered by her husband
at Nicholson. has been in the city for
several days, and is doing housework
at the home of John Davis, of West
Scranton.
Mrs. Cary said that she knew posi-
lively that Mrs. White is in the city,
and said that both she and her hus-
band were at her house last Friday,
or week after they were missed from
Nicholson. She scouts the murder
story entirely.
Thomas Harris. the father of Mrs.
White, went to Nicholson yesterday
morning, and as far as could be learn
ed had not returned last night. 1t
would seem strange that Mrs. White,
If she is in the city, has not made
her presence known.
A conversation had with a Nicholson
gentleman yesterday afternoon over
the long distance phone revealed the
fact that the borough is not so thor
oughly alarmed over the matter as
has been pictured. He said that the
general impression which seemed to
prevail was that White came home in
a drunken fit and smashed the furni-
ture up. and that the couple left town
because Of bills which it is claimed
they owed and were unable to pay
up.
Only a few persons. he said, held
to the belief that Mrs. White has been
murdered,

HOT SPELL TO CONTINUE
Today Will Be Warmer Than Yes
terday, According to Observer
Clarke-No Relief in Sight.

If the weather bureau is to be be-
lieved. Scranton Is in for continued
hot, dry spell, not much less intense
and protracted than that which the
west and southwest is experiencing.
According to Weatherman Clarke
there isn't thing in sight. even from
a view atop the big Connell building,
that gives any promise of let-up in
the present conditions, and the most
reliable symptoms of increased temper
ature are apparent on all sides.
Tuesdays comparatively modera te
weather was not due to any weaken
ing on the part of Old Sol. The low
pressure that had been sweeping from
the south gave way for a day TO a de-
scending drift of atmosphere, or a high
pressure, as it is technically called,
and slightly cooler" was accordingly
recorded.
1t wasn't, however, as cool as IL
seemed TO he. The thermometer was
pretty steady during the middle period
of the day, and at one time it was up
to S6.
The seeming coolness was due to the
invisorating effect of the high pressure.
At period of low pressure the air VIC
Stl llloNtS dlonS lne edrtn, Whlle at
period of high pressure the air comes
fresh and rarified from up heaven-way.
Our low pressure air generally has
northerly drift. This means that be-
fore we get a chance to breathe il or
have it fan us, it has passed over the
southern states, Harrisburg and
Wilkes Barre, where ii, in turn, be-
comes heated, polluted and given de-
pressing tendencies.
Yesterday was extremely depressing,
the high pressure of Tuesday being
quickly followed by northerly drift
of very sluggish character. In addi-
ton to all this, the day secured a mark
ing of 81 in the early afternoon. This
was on top of the Connell building in
a shaded box, at that. Down on the
street, where the suns rays worked
both ways, direct and by radiation, it
was easily 96.
Today will be warmer, Mr. Clarke
says. Just how much warmer it will
be, he could not say with any degree of
certainty, but that it will be some
warmer he was quite certain. The hot
spell, he says, will not abate much, if
any, this week.

APPEALS MADE EASIER,
Number of Petty Disorderly Con-
duct Cases May Be Lessened
by a New Law.

Local attorneys, aldermen and po-
lice magistrates are just now discuss
ing an act of assembly which was
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature, but which escaped their at
tention up to few days ago, when
it was discovered by an attorney who
had a case to which it could be ap-
piled.
The act is intended to prevent the
vast amount of petty dsorderly con-
duct cases which are brought under
the general act of 1895. 1t provides
that an appeal may be taken by the
defendant in such cases, If found
guilty, to the court of quarter sessions
upon the defendant giving security in
double the sum of the costs and fine.
Under the act of 1895 no appeal
could be petitioned for in such cases
until the alderman had been paid the
full amount of the fine and costs. The
effect of the new act Is to render the
taking of an appeal more easy. This
will result in the discouraging of a
large number of would-be prosecutors,
it is believed, who would not desire
to go to the expense of taking their
case up to a higher court.
The number of summary convictions
by aldermen in this city for disorder
ly conduct has been phenomenally
large since the passage of the act of
1895, and the money collected in fines
from defendants in such cases would
approximate very large sum. In
a very large number of instances
where information is lodged charging
assault and battery, the charge of
disorderly conduct is also included.
If the defendant is found guilty by the
alderman. he is held to bail on the
assault and battery charge and fined
on the charge of disorderly conduct,
the fines averaging generally about IS.
Alderman Kasson, of the Ninth
ward, who had not heard of the pas
sage of this act until a few days ago,
said yesterday afternoon in discussing
it with a Tribune man:
I'm very GLAD that this act has
been passed. It's something that has
been needed ever since the act of 1895
was put upon the statute books, and
sincerely hope that it will have the
effect of doing away with these little
petty disorderly conduct cases, very
few of which, to my mind, have suffi-
cient merit to be considered by an
alderman at all.
THE prosecutions are generally ac-
tuated by spite and desire to get
even with some person with whom the
prosecutor is at odds. How often do
We hear the defendants say, when
they leave the court, pointing to the
prosecutor, III have you soaked to-
morrow The whole desire of the ma
jority of the prosecutors in disor-
derly conduct cases is to have an
enemy soaked. 4 loud word spoken
or some other trivial thing is taken
as preteXt for the bringing of the
case and under the sweeping provis-
ions of the act of 1895 a conviction
can generally be secured.
IF this new act will have the effect
of putting a stop to this sort of thing
it will be a good thing for the COM
munity. / do not hesitate to say that
in my opinion the majority of dis
orderly conduct cases which are
brought to our attention as aldermen
have not sufficient merit to be con-
Sidered for Il minute"
