AS was foreshadowed in The Tribune,
the recorder, at last nights meeting of
select council communicated recon-
mendaton that the saS50OO funding and
Improvement loan be readvertsed in
stead of delaying further with efforts
to force Hayes & Sons to live up to
their bid. The communication sets
forth the recorders reasons for maxi
ing the recommendation:
Scranton. Pa. Sept. 2, 1902.
To the Honorable. the Select and Com
mon Councils City of Scranton, Pa.
Gentlemen-The bond issue recently au-
thorizcd by your honorable bodies. in or
dinance file of common council No. 81,
1901, known as the Judgment Funding
and Municipal Permanent Improvement
Loan" was regularly advertised, as per
the directions of said ordinance, and
awarded to the house of W. j. Hayes &c
Sons, bankers, of Cleveland, o., at the
price of par and accrued interest. and
$1,000 premium, they being the highest
bidders.
Subsequently, Hayes & Sons refused to
take the bonds. acting under the advice
of their private counsel. Charles Il. Pan
coast, esq, of Philadelphia. which said
opinion was later reinforced and con-
irmed by the opinions of Thomas w.
Dillon, of New ork.
The objections cited against this issue
by these gentlemen numbered two or
three. but principal among them was the
contention that the ISSUE since 1t was for
a two-fold purpose, viz. funding an exist
ing debt and at the same time providing
for new work, and, thereby, creating
new debt. should have been divided into
two issues with separate and distinct
provisions for their care and redemp-
ton.
Whether this contention is we'll founded
or not Is an open question. The opinions
adverse to the issue are, at the most,
only the judgments OF private counsel.
The matter has not been passed upon ny
the courts yet. as the primary purpose
with us is the sale of the bonds, and this
could only be effected with this house
after lengthy litigation, 1t has been
deemed advisable. after a careful review
of the case by the law department and
this office, to repeal the old ordinance.
file of common council No 61. 1901. and
pass two new ordinances which will take
care of our judgments and provide FOR
the municipal improvements previously
contemplated. This method of dealing
with the matter is at least free from all
objections and will greatly expedite the
issuance of the bonds and enable us to
apply the funds realized from their sale
to these urgent demands at an early date.
This, we believe. is the most satisfactory
manner of meeting the situation.
I trust that your honorable bodies will
take the matter up at once and hasten
this legislation, that these long delayed
improvements and the funding of our
Judgment debt may be cared for at the
earliest possible moment. ] am,
Yours very respectfully,
w. l.. Connell, Recorder

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

h6FUBLlC SPECIAL.
New York. June 4.-Mrs. Kingdom, mother
of Mrs. George J. Gould. was robbed of
jewelry valued at $4,000 early Tuesday
morning by thieves who entered her apart
ments in the Waldorf-Astoria.
The circumstances surrounding the rob
berry are OF SO peculiar a nature as to
puzzle the police, who are unable to ex-
plain to their own satisfaction how 1t hap
pened that the thieves overlooked a dia-
mond necklace worth many times the value
of the articles stolen. This Is considered
the more remarkable because of the fact
that the necklace was in plain sight on a
dressing table. while the .jewelry.. which
was taken was under lock and the key
had been carefully concealed.
Captain Titus has detailed his most ex-
pert detectives on the case and already
searched. Description of the stolen jeweiry
has been sent to the police of every city in
the country and large reward has been
Mrs. Kingdom, according to the story told
to the police. attended a theater Monday
night with a party of personal friends and
was later than usual in retiring; When she
reached her apartments in the Waldorf-As-
toria, her jewelry was handed to a maid
who was instructed to see that 1t was
AT the theater Mrs Kingdom were four
diamond clasps or brooches. having total
value of $4,000; she also wore a diamond
necklace Of much greater value. The maid
laid the necklace en- a dressing table. in
tending later to put 1t away, according 10
her instructions. The other four pieces
were locked in a case which was placed in
one of the drawers of the dressing table.
Mrs. Kingdom Tuesday morning saw the
diamond necklace. Calling her maid, she
censured her for her carelessness and then
instructed her to put 1t with the other jew
els. In obeying her instructions, the maid
was surprised to find that the brooches and
clasps which she had so carefully put away
the night before were missing. The case in
which they had been placed had been brok-
en- open, and the articles In the drawer of
the table were in confusion.

BUTLER CASES COME UP TO-DAY
Court Will Consider Motion for
Change of Venue.

The cases OF Edward Butler. who is
charged in two Indictments with at
attempting to bribe, will be called
this morning in Judge Ryan's court.
A motion is already before the court for a
change Of venue and witnesses will be
heard to-day on that question.
The defense has summoned about 200 wit
nesses to prove that the general community
is prejudiced against Butler and that he
cannot get a fair trial in st. Louis. The
State has summoned about fifty witnesses
TO rebut the testimony OF the defense.
When the case was up ten days ago Judge
Ryan intimated that he would not hear
this many witnesses, but would compel
both sides to scale the number down con-
siderably.
Even If the list is cut down it is consid-
cred more than probable that ii will take
two or three days to hear all the testi-
mony. II the change Of venue Is denied, 1t
is said. the defense will ask the Supreme
Court for a writ of prohibition to prevent
the trial in st. Louis.
The case CT Henry Nicolaus. charged with
bribery, was SGT for June IS, In Judge
Ryan's court yesterday.
