MADE YESTERDAY
Herbert Thompson Selects the School
of the Observation-Disclosures
Being Made Slowly.

Herbert Thompson. of Carbondalc.
who finished fifth in The Tribune's S
| Educational Contest, made his selec-
| tion yesterday of the scholarship in
| the School of the Lackawanna, of this
city. as the one he believed the most
suitable for him. This includes tuition
| for period Of four years and is worth
| $500
The successful contestants are again
| asked to exercise patience as the ut
! most expedition possible is being made
in awarding the scholarships. This
| feature of the contest has been delayed
| because in a number of the cases it
has been necessary to communicate d-
| rect with the institutions to find out
about the examinations and what de-
gree of preparation individual students
| must have to enter upon their studies.
After the preparatory school and uni
versity scholarships have been dis
posed Of the remaining contestants can
make their selections much quicker
| So far five scholarships have been Sc
lected, as follows:
keystone Academy-A. J. Kellerman
| of Scranton.
Williamsport Dickinson Seminary
Maxwell Shepherd, of Carbondale.
Dickinson Collegiate Preparatory
School-Oscar Fl. Kipp, of Elmhurst.
Newton Collegiate Institute and Mil
itary Academy--Charles Burns. OF
Vandling.
School of the Lackawanna-Herber
Thompson, Of Carbondale.
Charles Burns will probably be the
first of any of the late contestants tC
enter upon the fruits of his victory.
He will enter Newton Collegiate Insti-
tute, at Newton, N. j.. on Saturday
Nov l, and start upon the two years
course selected by him in that excel
! lent institution.
Mr.. Thompson has written the fol-
lowing letter of thanks:
Carbondale, Pa, Oct. 90, 1902
| Tribune Publishing Co., Scranton, Pa
| Gentlemen: / wish to say to all those
who subscribed for The Tribune, or as
sisted me in any way during the contest,

| ing to lend much encouragement
| Believing that I have selected the best
| scholarship for myself made possible by
| my position, L shall strive to make good
| use of my selection.
| | also extend thanks to The Tribune
| Publishing company for the excellent op-
portunity given, believing they have done
one of the best things u newspaper
| could do.
| Wishing much success to all concerned

testimony to have their statements in

Worked Until Late.
Despite the fact that it was Mitchell
day, District President Nichols and his
duartette of clerks worked until late
last evening on the material they are
preparing for the statement which the
miners Will present to the commission.
The coal companies, likewise, con-
tinued to prosecute most vigorously the
work of preparing statistics for the
operators statement. The Erie com
pany last night brought here twenty
five accountants from New York to as
sist the local stiDerintendents and ac-
countants in preparing the company's
contribution to the mass of facts and
figures which will go to the commission
In the shape of a response to the miners
statement. Quarters for the New York
accountants were secured at Hotel
Schadt. They will remain here for
probably a week or ten days.
When 1t is taken into consideration
that these twenty-five accountants are
brought here simply to assist in pre-
pairing one companys statement 1t can
be half believed that the commissioners
Will be given quite a plentiful supply
of reading matter before all the COM
panies have presented their contrl-

Middleman Matter.

In the New York dispatches about
the reported plan of the operators to
do their own distributing and thereby
drive out middemen who have been
taking advantage of the coal famine to
squeeze consumers, it was stated that
the retaliatory plan was suggested by
Thomas Ii. Watkins, of this city. men,
ber Of the coal strike commission. Re
garding this Mr.. Watkins said, yester-
day:
Il know nothing about such Il plan.
| have had no interest in the anthracite
coal business for more than a year and
a half and have not been consulted on
any matter relating to it, further than
what came up for discussion in the ses-
sions of the strike commission. OF
course, the matter of doing away with
the independent distributors was not
discussed by the commission.
