JEWELRY STORE ENTERED.
Six Watches Taken from Louis
Pernhard's Place by Burglars.

The jewelry store of Louis Bern
hard jr., located at 2l5 Lackawanna
avenue. was entered by a thief on
Tuesday night or early yesterday
morning and robbed of about 800
worth Of jewelry.
1t is believed by some that the bur-
glar effected an entrance through the
transom over the front door If he did
so he must been a very bold individu-
al as the transom was in the full glare
of an arc light in front Of the store.
The rear door was found open, but
did not have the appearance of hav-
ing been forced. Those who argue
that the burglar got in through the
transom, which was opened wide, con-
tend that he let himself out the bac k
way by drawing the bolts.
There were six watches taken and
all were removed from the front win
dow. Cheap watches which lay along
side of them We're left untouched. De-
tective Day is working on the case.

DUFFY HAS RESIGNED.
Charges Were Preferred Against
President of Newsboys' Union at
Last Nights Session.

The Newsboys' union held a meeting
last night. which for stormness and
tumult was record breaker. The
meeting was one of the most moment
Gus in the history of the union, as
charges of grave import were pre-
fcrred against James Duffy, the presi-
dent of the union, and the resignation
from office of Mr.. Duffy was read.
The iron-fsted, pugnacious and des-
potic little cZar of the union was sue
cecdcd as president by George Perigo,
the we'll known newsdealer, whom one
of the boys nominated in the forlorn
hope that Mr.. Pedigree, who has
evinced much activity in making the
newsboys' annual piCnics success,
would pilot through their strike against
the New York papers. X. +. Johnson,
of the North American, was also nomi-
mated for the presidency, but was de-
feated by vote of % to 10.
EX-President Duffy was a much dis
gusted youth at the end of the meet
ing. awe" said he. contemptuously
this is only blank foolishness. Perigo
won't take charge of the thing and
those kids ought to know it,
incidentally. Mr.. Duffy is highly in
censed at the charges of dishonesty
made against him, and vehemently OBJ
jected to the press committee giving
out any statement relative to them
said he furiously to member of the
press committees; Don't you go &c
putting anything in the paper about
me UnderstHnd?'
Sure, Duffy" answered the commit.
teeman, in fear and trepidation, 81
wouldn't say a word"
The meeting was presided over by the
vice president, Israel Morris, Short,
after the opening of the meeting th'
| following charges were preferred
against the only and inimitable Duff.
| Appropriatng 81 given him by th
SCrantonian for the union.
Selling twenty-thrce union buttons
at 1Oc. per and Withholding the re
ceipts.
| Appropriating s1,25 of $3.50 given b.
the LaCkawanna News company.
| Not turning in receipts of entertain
Iment tickets.
| Duffy's rcsignatiO was the featur
of the night. 1t read: H. James Duffy
hereby resign the presidency of tn
| NcwsbOys union and to this wa
added the humorous explanation: -
am going to accept a position as presi
dent of the Delaware, LaCkawanna an
Western Railroad company"
Duffy still retains a large following
among the smaller boys and a numbe
of these were last night elected fron
the meeting room. As three tiny littl
fellows shot through the door ter
turned and poured flood of billings
gate into the unionites which woul
have made any jack tar in the servic
turn green with envy. "Ye're all -
= except Duffy" howled the youngs
ters in chorus, and they kept it up un
Itil the inside guard darted out with
broom and charged upon them, wherea
they retreated hastily.

F. L. Brown. the newly appointed |
building inspector assumed the duties |
of his office yesterday, and his first |
official act was 10 request City Solici- |
tor Watson, through Director of Pub
lie Safety Wormser. for an opinion as
to whether a new building ordinance
should be passed by the city councils.
to make operative here the provisions
of the act OF 1925. creating bureau
of building inspection for cities of the
second class.
The only building ordinance which
has ever been passed in this city was
passed in 1855 and was based upon the
third class city law governing build
ing inspection, which law differs ma
terially from the act of 1895, above re-
ferred to.
Inspector Brown favors the adop-
tion of a new building ordinance, con-
tending that one would be necessary
at the present time. even had Scran-
ton not entered the second class of
| cities. There have been many
| changes in building methods since
| 1883, he says, which practically make
| the passage Of a new ordinance an
! imperative necessity. For instance,
| there is no provision i'm the ordinance
| covering the construction of steel
| frame buildings, and yet such struc-
lures have been erected in the past
| few years in various parts of the city.
Director Wormser favors the pas
| sage of n new ordinance and it is be-
lieved that City Solicitor Watson will
decide that one is required to make
| the provisions of the act of 1895 oper-
| ative. Director Wormser said yestcr-
| day that if new ordinance is re-
qured. he will have Inspector Brown
draw it up. acting in conjunction with
the city solicitor.
1t would seem from a perusal of the
act of 1895 that the appointment OF
/ an assistant building inspector is
mandatory, and not optional with the
Inspector The act says clearly that
"the principal officer of said bureau
shall he known as the superintendent
of building inspection and shall be
either an architect. practical builder
civil engineer or carpenter, and the
other officers of the said bureau shall
consist Of an assistant superintendent
and such number of inspectors. clerks
and messengers or other employees as
the said director of public safety shall
deem necessary, subject to the ap.
proval of the city councils"
If this act is interpreted to NEAR
that an assistant inspector is required
then the appointment of such an of
fetal would fall on Director Wormsel
and his salary would have to be pro
vided for by Counclmanic a2ppropria
ton. Inspector Brown said yesterda,
that he had not as yet appointed al
ASSISTANT, but would not say why. I
may be that he is waiting for an in
depreciation of this law before tax
ing such action.

IN MEMORIAM.

written on the Death of Miss Susan T.. Ripple }
Deaths somhre cloud descends when fair
The skies in peace and beauty bend
Whom hope and Joy on US attend
And loves glad incense fills the air.
We stand appalled, az the decree
That rohs us Of our best beloved;
In vain the friendly voice is moved
To- solace with its sympathy.
In such an hour 'hc flowers In vain
DiIuse their fragrance on the air;
Love cannot soothe the deep despair
Nor quiet with It's sweet refrain.
II only from the darkened sky
One whisper from the dead could come,
Re sure the desolate heart and home
That message glad would satisfy.
So bending DER your dead today
faithSeads with loving hTd aiar;
The vision finds another star
Whose light shall smile on you alway.
