FROM FOREST CITY
TO PHILADELPHIA
It Will Soon Be Possible to Go the
Entire Distance by Trolley.
Last Link to Be Built.

"a charter has been granted at Har-
risburg to the Hazleton, Weatherly and.
Mauch Chunk Traction company. id
which local capitalists are Interested"
says yesterdays Wilkes-Barre Record
THE charter itself was delivered here
by noon yesterday and is in the hands
Of President Frank w. Larned, who is
one Of the promoters of the new road.
From the charter it is learned that
the road is to commence on Broad
street, Hazleton, just in front of the
Central hotel and run down Broad
street to the Susquehanna turnpike and
then to Beaver Meadow. a distance of
four miles; from the latter place over
a public road, constructed upon the old
Beaver Meadow plane, to Weatherly,
another distance of four miles, and
from Weatherly over the Lehigh and
Susquehanna turnpike to Nesquehon-
ing, where it is to join the Mauch
Chunk Traction company, another dis
tance of seven miles, the total length of
the road to be fifteen miles.
'The projectors of the road say that
it now looks possible to travel, in few
months, on connecting electric street
car lines from Mauch Chunk to Phila-
delphia and within the next three
months to ride from Wilkes-Barre to
Hazleton by trolley line, so that the
Hazleton, Weatherly and Mauch Chunk
Traction company will constitute the
link in a system of trolley lines from
Forest City, Susquehanna county. to
Philadelphia, distance of 1873 miles.
"This newly chartered company has
the absolute right over the public roads
between Hazleton and Mauch Crunk,
offering the most feasible rCute to these
points. The charter also covers the
right to use the shortest route from
Hazleton to Nesquehoning.
"The new company is capitalized at
100000. The officers are: Frank w.
Larned, OF Willes-Barre, president;
Elmer Warner and Lawrence Tarleton,
of Weatherly; M. j. Stauffer, of Beaver
Meadow; Frank w. Larned, j. *. Welt
zenkorn, A. II. Bloom and Christian
Walter, of Wilkes-Barre, as directors.
The work of putting the road in run
ming order will be commenced with as
little delay as possible"

ORDINANCES HAVEN'T PASSED.
And 50 Contemplated Plans Can't Be
Carried Out.

Director OF Public Works Roche had
number of plans In contemplation at
the beginning of the present fiscar year
and secured appropriations for the
carrying out Of these ideas In the gen.
eral appropriation ordinance. The plans
have not been carried out. because of
the failure OF councils to pass the nec-
essary ordinances providing for the ex-
penditure OF the money already appro-
prlated.
An Item of $4,000 was included in the
appropriation ordinance for the pur-
chase OF street signs to mark the inter-
sections of the principal streets in the
city. Later an ordinance providing for
entering into a contract for the supply
OF these signs was introduced, but 1t is
slumberng In councils still and the
money remains unused.
An appropriation of $3.50 was made
for the lighting Of Nay Aug park, but
the second ordinance has never passed
councils. Neither have the ordinances
providing for the purchase of street
sweeper and ne-horse sprinkler
though appropriations for these were
made in the appropriation ordinance.
Another important ordinance which
was introduced some four months ago,
but which has never been up for pass
age, is the measure establishing rules
and regulations for the government of
the several parks. A similar ordinance
was introduced last year, but never
passed.
The reason advanced for the failure
| Of these ordinances to pass Is indiffer-
| ence on the part of the councilmen,
rather than any particular objection on
| their part to the expenditure of the
| money involved. Director Roche has
| decided not to make any especial effort
TO have the ordinances passed, leaving
| the matter entirely in the hands of the
| councilmen and depending on their
civic pride to do the right thing in the
end.

Lewis Bates continues to surprise
everyone with his rapid strides in The
Trbune's Educational Contest. Yes
terday he scored twelve points and ad
vanced five places among the leaders
and now occupies twenty-second place.
Mr.. Bates only entered the contest on
Thursday, Sept. 49, and in the past
eight days has advanced almost daily
until he has not only gained COM
manding position in the main table, but
is in eleventh place among the leaders
for the special honor prizes for Sep
tember. He will probably be unable
to make such large jump again, but
every score of twelve points is sure to
make a change in his standing unless
some of the others just above are more
active.
The points scored yesterday were:
Lewis Bates ...............2 Il
William II. S. Rodriguez.
Herbert Thompson ........
A. j. Kellerman ...........
n. j. Thayer ............... l
Mr.. Thayer's one point ties him with
Harry Danvers for thirty-third place.
There We're no other changes in the
main table, but the race for first prize
among the September leaders is be-
coming very interesting. Only six points
separate the first three and at one
time yesterday Mr.. Kellerman and Mr..
Thompson were tied for first place. The
next three days will decide who are to
receive the four prizes.
There are only a few days left in
which new contestants may enter and
score points in The Tribunes Contest.
There are four full weeks yet in which
to work and there are still great pos
siblities within the reach of those who
really desire an education What Mr..
Bates has done in eight days surely
any energetic young man or woman
can do in four weeks, and Mr.. Bates
is practically certain of securing
scholarship now, but will probably not
be satisfied until he is higher up, where
he will have a better choice.

WILL BE A BALANCE.
Only Half of Street Cleaning Appro-
priation Exhausted.

1t is very probable that there will be
a balance left in the appropriation made
this year for the cleaning of asphalt
pave, regardless Of the fact that the
pave has been kept cleaner this past
summer than ever before.
The appropriation was $4,000, and of
this amount considerably less than half
has been already expended, leaving over
$1,000 with which to continue the work
for the remaining six months during
one-half of which no attempt is made
to do any cleaning at all.

SEARCHING FOR SON.

The searchers told the somewhat dis

into the water, and without waiting to
learn that it was Fennell, he started
off on a wild run for his home. The

until late hour for both victims, but
were unsuccessful in their search.

One of the strangest counterfeiting
cases imaginable was brought to light
in this city last night, through the ar
rest of James Brock, who has already
spent most of the past ten years In the
Eastern penitentiary and the county
Jail.
The odd thing about the case Is that
Brock first received instructions In the
art of making money" while incarcer-
ated in the penitentiary at Philadel-
pha, and successfully carried out his
instructions while serving Il sentence in
the Lackawanna county jail.
Brock, it will be remembered, was
twice sent to the Eastern penitentiary
for terms of three years each, for at
tempting criminal assaults on little
girls, and, he says, while there, he was
taught by other prisoners how to make
moulds for casting counterfeit money
The prison authorities are now engaged
in investigating this alleged system Of
instruction.
MADE MOULDS IN JAIL.
Shortly after his release from the
"pen,' Brock was arrested In this city
on the charge of larceny and sentenced
10 teu lHOIlilS liIDIlSOiillIehl III thS
county Jail. During his term there,
some plumbing work was done in the
Jail, and Brock obtained some metal
pipe and plaster of Paris. which he
turned into moulds for making nickels
and dimes.
On September II, Brock was released
from the county Jail, after serving his
sentence out, and knowledge of Brooks
doings coming to the attention of the
Jail authorities, Warden McAndrew re-
ported the matter to United States
Commissioner George d. Taylor, who
issued a warrant for Brooks arrest on
the charge of counterfeiting.
AS far as can be learned, Brock did
not turn out any counterfeit nickels or
dimes. The warrant was placed in the
hands of Deputy Marshal j. w. Snyder,
who, with Secret Service Agent NJ. F..
Griffin, of Philadelphia, and Detective
Robert Deter, of this city, located
Brock last night in South Scranton.
The government officials had been
looking for Brock for some time and
yesterday learned he was at work in
the oxford mine. Last night they vis-
tied the home of his sister, Mrs. Will
lam Fennell, in the rear of 316 Cedar
avenue, where he was placed under ar
rest.
FENNELL MADE A DASH.
Just as the officers entered the house,
Fennell, believing they We're after him,
darted out the back door and down
through the yard. and over the retain
ing wall, alongside of the Mates street
bridge, and into the Roaring Brook, a
distance Of thirty-five or forty feet
below
Griffin and Deter gave chase, the for
mer tearing a part Of Fennelrs cloth
ing in his attempt to catch him, and
the latter firing at him with his re-
volver. The fleeing form was soon last
in the darkness, but Deter was of the
opinion that he saw Fennell cross the
brook and go up the bank on the other
side.
The detectives made diligent search
up and down the bank of the brook, but
failed to find any trace of Fennell, and
up to a late hour nothing was known of
his whereabouts. While the officers
| We're making the search they encount-
cred a man looking for his son, who
had threatened to commit suicide by
jumping into the water.

CALLS IT FIRST WORLD TRUST
Vienna Paper Rejects Adverse Conn
ment of Austria on Morgan
Shipping Combine.

VIENNA, April 24.-The comment here is
generally adverse to the Morgan steamship
combine. The Neues Weiner Journal char
acterizes It as the first world trust and
says:
THE interests Of the entire world are
opposed to America monopolizing the whole
shipping trafic of the world, or using inter-
national navigation to develop its own ex-
port trade and serve its own political ends.
The present organization contains the root
OF a still closer combine, of which America
will be the strongest member, notwith-
standing the fact that Germany ia able to
bring into the pool a hundred times the
traf1c of America, yet the superior organ
ICED financial power of the Morgan syndl-
cate will eventually give the United States
supreme control.
From the standpoint OF national inter-
ests the trust is the most dangerous con-
ceivable and It is only natural that the
states affected should watch the develop
ment most closely and take every precau-
ton possible. 1t may be found necessary to
extend the system Of state ownership to
the sphere hitherto left exclusively for pri-
vate initiative. Yet state ownership Of the
commercial marine would greatly reduce its
mobility and give fresh advantage to Amer
lea, which has other means Of defending
and concentrating it's own interests.
