MANY ASK FOR RELIEF.
Several Applicants for Aid at Meet
ing of Poor Board-Action Post
poned on New Buildings.

Contrary to expectations, the poor
board did not decide, at It's meeting
yesterday afternoon, to Immediately
advertise for bids for the building Of
the four new almshouse buildings.
which are to be erected at the Hillside
farm. The members have come to the
conclusion that it is too late IN the
year to undertake any extended build
ing operations, and it is not likely that
any further steps in the matter will be
taken until next year.
A large number of.applicants for re-
lief appeared at the meeting and stated
their troubles to the board. Among
those who asked for aid was Mrs.
Bernack, whose husband was recently
struck by a train and killed at Tona-
wanda, N. Y. She is left with five
small children. The board granted her
temporary relief, until she receives a
small amount of insurance money
which is due her.
Mrs Catherine Dimler, Of $40 Irving
avenue, was granted admittance to the
Hillside Home, but indignantly refused
to go there, and before she left the
meeting vigorously rongue-lashed the
directors for not furnishing her other
assistance. Jacob Young, who appeared
before the board at a previous session,
and was refused eXoneration from his
poor tax yesterday, proved himself
persevering, to say the least.
He appeared before the board, and
once more requested that the tax be
removed.
N"How much Is it?" asked a member,
and something akin to a laugh arose
when Young answered: Fourteen
cents" The request was again refused.
Mrs. Thomas Dickson, of 1926 Bloom
avenue, was refused aid, as she prop
erly comes under the care of the
Wilkes-Barre poor district. The lat
ter's authorities had expressed their
willingness to transport Mrs. Dickson
to Wilkes-Barre and there look after
her, but she had declined to so back.
Her appeal for aid yesterday met with
a cold response.
There was little other business before
the meeting. superintendent Beemer,
Of the Hillside Home, presented his
regular report, which was accepted. 1t
showed that there have been seven
deaths at the farm since the last meet
ing. There are now 12S insane male
inmates, 149 sane males, 141 insane
females, and 66 sane females.

BOY THIEVES CAUGHT,
Had systematically Pilfered from
Board Of Trade Building, Where
All Were Employed.

Superintendent of Police Iona Day
and Detective Robert Deter yesterday
placed five youthful burglars under ar
rest, all of whom have been systematic

ton Board of Trade building for sew
eral months.
The culprits are AL. Roberts, 10 years;
Fred Motzenbacker, II years; Milo
Dolph, 1s years; Howard Griffith, 16
years, and Calvin Dowling, 10 years Of
age.
The boys were employed on the ele-
vators and in offices in the building
and had access to number of places,
and to others they forced an entrance
by prying open Office doors. On the
night Of June 2, they entered the wine
room of the Scranton club and alb
stracted s7.45 worth of wine.
They also carried off chicken and
broke the doors and locks. Later they
entered the barber shop in Room 41O,
broke open case and took quantity
of cigars valued at several dollars.
A revolver worth IS was taken from
the Temple Iron company's Office, and
on July Z. five umbrellas, valued at $40;
two revolvers, $3.50 and $3.50 in cash
and a dress suit case, valued at IS,
were taken from Rooms Az and 413.
About the same time they entered the
vault in the Lackawanna Lumber COM
pany's Office and took $50 i'll money. A
number Of other things have been
missed from the building. When ar
raigned before Police Magistrate Howe,
yesterday, the boys acknowledged their
guilt and were committed to Jail with
out bail.
The roundup is due to clever work
by Superintendent Day and Detective
Deter.

PROPERTIES WERE FLOODED.
Ask Two Companies to Reimburse
Them for Damages,

Attorney A. A. Chase yesterday be-
gan actions in trespass against the
Wilkes-Barre and Eastern Railroad
company and the Scranton Steel COM
pany. John Gilmartin and John john
son are the plaintiffs, and each asks
$4,000 damages.
They allege that during the spring
floods the water overfowed their lands,
and that this overflow was due to the
companies filling in the river bed, and
thus preventing, the water from flow-
ing in it's natural course.
