vOSBrRG'S OPINION.

City Solicitor Vosburg does not share
this dread of maximum salaries
prevailing. The city officials. he
said. would receive no salary
until the reorganization ordinance
and appropriation ordinance are final
ly passed by the new councils
The new re-organization ordinance,
which will be introduced after re-or-
sanization. will contain no provision
for reorganization of the fire de-
partment To better facilitate its
speedy passage through both branches,
Ny. Chittenden will embody his
ideas in separate ordinance and
endeavor TO have it passed at the same
time.
The incorporation Of the fire depart
ment reorganization schedule in the
measure now pending Is said to be the
cause Of it's failure To pass sooner. 1t
is said that If the ordinance had not
contained this feature there would
have been no difficulty in having 1t
passed on two readings last Tuesday
night

a Scranton team, is city Treasurer ".
y. Robinson. The latter Is a splendid
specimen of the genus c;ankus base
balliam, species of growth confined
almost entirely TO these broad United
states, but which may also be found
in sparse quantities in England, Aus
tralia and Cuba. The genus comes
more directly under the study OF nat
uralists than botanists. and many and
peculiar are the specimens of II seen
In the land.
However, to repeat the assertion
made above. city Treasurer Robinson
is one of the heartiest enthusiasts In
the city. He has ever been a main
stay of local mines. and staunchly stood
by the management. Now. as the
merry click. which denotes the meeting
of bat and ball appears to sound nearer
and nearer, the public is beginning to
think of this seasons prospect and
turn towards Mr.. Robinson, John and
Tom Brooks. Charles Robinson, and
others who in the past nave raised the
necessary sinews of war. Treasurer
Robinson is also somewhat of a player
himself. and has made records on city
hall and other crack local teams which
are said to have brought him tempt"
ing offers from professional managers.
This last statement may have. how
ever, been circulated by maliciously-
minded persons.
The people of the various wards OF
this city are beginning to realize that
the interests of Scranton should be In

politicians, and In no ward has this
realization better manifestation than

WHAT LANSING SAID.

President J. A. Lansing arrived in
the city yesterday morning, and when
spoken to by Tribune man had not
yet been notified of the proposal made
by the clergymen that the presidents
of the Scranton, Wilkes-Bare and
Hazleton boards go to New York with
him and there. in company with Bishop
Potter and Archbishop Coriigan, visit
j. Plerpont Morgan and attempt TO Sc
cure his consent to meet with the mine
workers officials in joint session.
President Lansing stated that the
matter would be given consideration
and that he would consult with the
two other presidents regarding their
attitude on the subject. No commune
cation has as yet passed between the
local and out of city baords. nor was
any further message yesterday re-
ceived from the Hazleton clergyman.
Secretary ID. h. Atherton, Of the local
board. yesterday expressed himself as
skeptical of the ultimate carrying out
of Father Phillips proposal aud de-
clared that in view of The continued
silence of the other cities board OFF,

they have made no effort 10 broach the
subject to the Scranton association ii
was unlikely that any such committee
would wait upon Mr.. Morgan.

afternoon he was clOseted with the

after o'clock until after O'Clock. but
nothing could be learned of the results
of this meeting.

WOULD NOT TALK.

Nichols, Duffy and Fahy, when ques-
toned regarding the doings of the con-
ference, merely smiled rather knowing
smiles. and referred all interrogators
to President Mitchell himself. The lat
ter was in an uncommunicative humor,
and on being asked for a statement
regarding the conference between the
four presidents declared that there was
nothing to be said.
Il have nothing at all to say" he
remarked abruptly. AT our meeting.

the press"
1t is likely that the conference OF
district and national officers viii be
soon called. This meeting is 10 be held
in Wilkes Barre. and in addition to the
board members win be attended by the
national and district presidents. Each
district board is made up of six menu
bers, while the national body has
eleven men on II. A member of the
district board declared yesterday to a
Tribune man that 1t was unlikely that
all of the national executives would
attend the conference, and the matter.
therefore, is virtually in the hands OF
the district officers and board mem

JOHN G. CAPERS LANDS.
Appointed District Attorney fer
South Carolina.

Washington, April 15.-Pre-
sideut Mckinley today appointed
Mr.. John Capers district attorney
of South Carolina to succeed
Ablal Lathrop, of Orangeburg.
Mr.. Capers is well known in
Columbia, where he lived a num-
Der of years practicing law. He
was editor of the Journal, an after
noon paper published in Colum-
bia several years ago by Mr.. FL.
P. Clarke. Mr.. Capers is a son of
Gen. Ellison Capers, bishop of the
Episcopal diccease of South
Carolina. He was ra sed in Green
vile and first entered politics in
that county, holding the office of
school commissioner. He is a
very popular young lawyer. His
appointment will be taken as
marking a change in the Republi-
can policy as to federal appoint
ments in the South. There has
been much gossip to the effect
that such a change was impending
and the appointment made today
was predicted as part of the
change.
The old line Republican politi-
clans, who have had a monopoly
of federal Offices in the South,
will fight Mr.. Capers's appoint
ment, it is said. They will base
their opposition to confirmation
of Mr.. Capers, it is said, on an
allegation that as an attorney he
violated the pension laws regulat-
ing the amount of fees an attorney
NAV collect for services in secur-
ing pension. While it is true
that Mr.. Capsrs did technically
violate the pension law, it was
from ignorance as to its nature.
After investigation of the case,
United States District Judge
Simonton and District Attorney
Murphy recommended that the
case be mol pressed and it was
mol pressed by direction of At
torney General 0lney, who after
ward brought Mr.. Capers to Wash
ington and APPOINTED him one of
the United States attorneys in the
department of justice, position
he has held for seven years. There
coulc have been no cleare vindica-
tion of Mr.. Capers than that dis
closed by the records and old line
Republican politicians will pro-
badly fail in their fight upon con-
frmation of his appointment, just
