AS SOLICITOR VIEWS 1T.
Talk of Electing a Mayor to Serve
Until April l, He Says, Is
the Veriest Nonsense.

In view of the many arguments
which have been advanced in an at
tempt to prove that Scranton has at
the present time no legal chief execu.
tive and that Recorder Mor cannot
legally assume the duties of his office
until the city government is rcorgan-
lied on April |. City Solicitor Nosburg
yesterday authorized the publication of
the following statement of his views
on the question:
THE talk of eectng mayor to
serve until April and the contention
that Scranton is now without a legal
chief executive, are the Veriest non
sense, as | view the question. At the
moment of the signing of the proca-
nation declaring us to be a city of the
second class by the governor. we be-
came go Instant such "A city. In the
interim between that time and April
/ We continue to work as second
class city under thrd-ClasS city laws.
NO second-class city law applies TO
this city until April /, with the one
exception of the provision of the So
called ripper hill providing for the ap-
pointment of IL recorder and making it
mandatory upon the governor to APP
point said recorder within a period OF
thirty days.
"'rhe power Of making this appoint
ment was of a provisional nature aud
the section of the bill authorizing 1t
was entirely supplementary to the
other legislation which the legislature
Was at that time cnactinG. IT is not I'm
conflict with the intent of the Act Of
1895. which provides that no second
class city law shall apply To a third
class city entering the second class
until after April /,
This act is modified by the Act of
1901, or the ripper bill. to the extent of
the appointment Of a recorder and the
assumption by him of his duties as
soon as he is appointed. That is the
situation in a nutshell. The ripper bill
modities the earlier act and such modi-
tlcations as it makes become the law.
There could be no mayor elected for
this city now, because the Office of
mayor is abolished i'm cities of the Sec
ond class by the very first section of
the ripper bill, and Scranton is at the
present time just as surely a city of
the second class as | am sitting i'm this
chain. Recorder MOir has full power
and authority To sign any aud all or
dinances and resolutions passed by
councils from the time of his appoint
ment until April |, and is the city's
legally appointed chiee executive, that
is, of course, providing that the ripper
bill is declared To be constitutional.
and / have every reason 10 believe that
it will be so declared"
The bills passed by the auditing conf
mittee on Monday night last were ap-
proved by Recorder Moir early I'm the
week and are now i'm the controllers
office, being revised and examined.

cussion.

AIR. NJ KEE EXAMINED.
The examination of Mi Mckee con-
sumed good deal of time. The prin-
ciplcs and beliefs of christian
Science were thoroughly inquired into
by the coroner and the iurymen. and
at times the questions were quite
spirited.
Mrs. Georgiana Griffin. wife of the
deceased, was first placed on the stand.
She said her husand was taken sick
before Christmas. a few days previous
to his death he said that he was tired
Of doctors and was willing to try Mr..
Mckee and his Christian Scientist
treatment. When asked what treat
ment had been afforded him she re-
piled: 1--WE gave him nourishment,
water ana the best of care and de-
pended upon Gods help"
Miss Murdock. u nurse. also helped
to take care of him. "All diseases are
the same IN Christian Science" she
declared. land one treatment applies
to different complaints"
Mrs Ruth Hopcwell. of 723 Columbus
avenue. was sworn. She corroborated
Mrs. Griflins testimony. ard said she
had gone to the house to give him
nourishment and pray for him."

asked.
NO. DIR. Mckee is not here" came
in slow. measured tones, but Mr. Nc
Kee is" and that gentleman stepped
forward to the stand. Mr.. Mckee said
he was Il Christian Scientist prac-
titioner. and that he believed in sick
| ness as "an aifectation of the mind
| Mr. Mckee told of being called in on
| the case by Mrs. Hopewell, and said
| that he received 81 per week or 81 a

| and that $3.50 had been his charges in
\ this particular case. In answer to a
| query. he stated that he had no license
| to practice medicine and surgery. but
| thought that he had a moral right"
CORONER WANTED TO KNOW.
