The JENKINS CASE.
Hearing Conducted Yesterday by
Referee M. w. Lowry in the
Office of City Solicitor.

NJ. w. Lowry, sitting as referee in
the case of George w. jenkins against
the city of Scranton to recover salary
as delinquent tax collector up to and
including July Of this year, conducted
q hearing yesterday afternoon in City
Solicitor Watson's Office.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Jen-
kins sued for three months salary orig
inally and that the Supreme court sus-
tained his contention and awarded
him a verdict for the amount asked.
He is now suing to recover for the
thirteen months beginning July 1, 1901,
and ending July 81. 1902, alleging as
he does that he was not formally re-
moved until the latter date. At yes
terday's hearing he was represented
by Former Judge ]. w. Carpenter,
while City Solicitor Watson looked af-
ter the citY's interests.
Mr.. Jenkins was sworn and testified
that during the thirteen months for
which he is suing he was never for
mally removed from office either by
word of mouth or by letter. Former
Recorder James Moir took the stand
and testified that acting under the
powers invested in him as recorder
he appointed Mr.. Jenkins as deln-
quent tax collector on April 1. 1901.
The hearing will be continued this
morning.
Mr.. Jenkins has never performed
the duties Of delinquent tax collector,
these having been performed since
Scranton became city Of the second
class by the city treasurer. The or
dinance providing for re-organiza-
ton of the city government provided
for a consolidation of the office of city
treasurer and delinquent tax collector,
but Recorder Moir ignored this and
appointed Mr.. jenkins. The city holds
that the formal appointment of for
mer City Treasurer Robinson as delin-
quent tax collector by Recorder Con-
nell constituted q removal of Jenkins
under the generally accepted principle
that the appointment and qualification
of q successor to a man in office rem
ders his title to the Office void

In quarter sessions court yester-
day, an end was brought to the two
cases in which Il. j. Maloney was
charged with bribery and the case in
which S. T.. Wayland was charged with
obstructing justice. Today will prob
ably see an ending also of the case In
which Simon Thomas is charged with
perjury.
With the ending of these four cases
will end the prosecutions in the big
scandal connected with the early at
tempt at passing the Lackawanna Tel
ephone ordinance.
Maloney was lobbyist for the rival
company. Wayland was manager of
the Lackawanna company. Thomas
was one of the councilmen alleged to
have been bribed to vote against the
new company
The first case against Maloney had it's
inception in a finding of the grand
jury in 1900 There were stories atloat
of illegal lobbying for and against the
passage of the new company's fran
chise. The grand jury made an inves-
tigation and one of the councilmen
summoned before them, f. w. Zizel-
mann, who was then representing the
Eight ward in common council. testi-
fled that Maloney had offered him
money to vote against the new COM
pany. Maloney was indicted.
Were Investigating.
The Municipal league about this time
was secretly investigating city hall and
with the aid of clever detective
named Harris. succeeded in unearthing
evidence enough to compel a dozen
councilmen to resign and make partial
restitution for money illegally received
by donations to charitable institutions.
In the course Of the hearings. Select
Councilman Simon Thomas admitted he
had received money from Maloney and
another indictment was found against
the latter for bribery. Thomas was
also indicted for accepting Il bribe.
The case against Wayland was the
result of his refusal to answer certain
questions bearing on the bribery
charges, when he was witness in the
drag-net inquiry before Alderman Full
Ter.
The four cases were put on the list
one term after another, but the alb
sence of Maloney, who left the country
resulted in their being continued.
After wandering through Canada and
then through Europe, Maloney returned
to this country broken down in health
and mentally unbalanced. He is now
in the Hillside home.

observed on the 18th Of February and was

This story Of a railroad and its founder is
told by Cy Warman in a recent issue Of the
Saturday Evening Post: The Bank Of
Montreal had become the unwilling owner
Of a lot Of steel at Joliet, Ill. The matter
was in litigation; two Of the banks repre-
sertatives were in Chicago with six days to
kill. They decided at once that they would
not return to Montreal. Should they stay
ir Chicago or go out and see Jim Hill and
his new country, Of whom and Of which they
had heard through the assistant governor
Of the Hudson Bay country They fipped
a copper. The west won, and they saw II.
All the while Mr.. Hill was between them
talking low and earnestly. inspiring them
with his honesty. his quiet enthusiasm and
his never failing faith in the northwest.
One Of the bank ~oficials, journeyed to
Holland, told what he had seen and heard
and urged the Dutch bondholders to find a
few more p~fennigs to reclaim the little rail-
road and extend It still further into that
wonderful new world that lay asleep on the
eastern slope of the Rockies.
"Nein." said the Dutchman. and his voice
shook the side walls OF his house Of gold,
I'VE will sell our bonds to the Bank Of
Montreal"
But we have not the money necessary
for the extension; beside. It will take six
months to secure the legislation needed to
allow Of the continuation of the road"
Take a year" said the Hollander, "and
you can have our bonds at so much on the
dollar
The offer was accepted.
Now. the Montreal people needed a man
to work among the Minnesota legislators,
and "Jim" Hill was at hand. During that
winter Mr.. Hill fell in with a young man
on a like mission, but whose business and
desires lay rather to the southwest. and the
two became friends and allies. Mr.. Hill
talked soft and low to the fellows from far
away while his friend talked fast ana
