Braman Won't Let Them Snap Sam.
Sam Reed and Leona Lord cannot
complain that they have not been
committed to the custody of a kind
hearted sheriff. Mr.. Braman showed
his disposition to protect the feel
ings of his two prisoners in a strik-
ing manner Monday when a reporter
for a Scranton paper tried to get
permission to have a picture of Sam
Reed taken in the jail
The sheriff at first referred the
newspaperman to District Attorney
Simons, who said the sheriff was
boss at the Jail and could admit or
turn down a photographer as he
pleased.
The newspaperman hurried back
to the sheriff with Mr.. Simons's an
swer.
1--WE changed my mind" said the
sheriff. "No pictures of Sam Reed
will be taken while l am running
this Jail. Suppose you were Sam
Reed or suppose you were Leona
Lord? would you want your picture
scareheaded all over the country
in connection with murder
charger"
Sam Reed and Leona Lord have
not been photographed for any pa
per. They are not likely to be.
Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Kimble found
their clients in apparent good health,
but Sam Reed has been greatly de-
pressed by the death of Lord.
Il never meant to kill Sike," he
has said again and again.
Leona Lord, it is said, talks little,
but she has declared all along that
she knows she is being prosecuted.
Her son, Millard Lord, bright
young fellow who has taught school
in this county, has a good many
friends and they have assured him
of their sympathy and support. He
tells them that all the facts as to
the disputed line as well as the
whole story of the fatal fight over
the ditch will come out when the
case comes before the jury in Octo-
ber.

OFF FOR PH|LL|E
THOMAS CROSSLEY GOES TO
QUAKER CITY CONVENTION TO
HELP PUT WILLIAM II. BERRY
OR SOMEBODY ELSE ON THIRD
TICKET FOR GOVERNOR--HE'S
PROXY FOR BIRDSALL.

Prothonotary Michael J. Hanlan
will not go to the Philadelphia con-
vehtion to help nominate William
H Berry, John o. Sheath, F. o. Glib
honey or some other well known,
able man" for governor of Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Hanlan is in New York.
He went down Tuesday night, ac-
companied by Landlord Thomas Gill
of White Mills, to look after some
private business in which both men
are interested.
Judge Birdsall was not able to
arrange his business so as to spend
two days in the Quaker City and
Monday he gave his proxy to Thomas
Crossley, who left Hawley Tuesday
night for the convention 1t is not
stated at the Main street cigar store
where the third ticket men hang
out who Mr.. Crossley favors to top
the ticket. He has talked with
Berry men in Honesdale and he has
learned what he could in advance
about the qualifications of the other
candidates.
Earl Sherwood, who signed the
little dodger that drew 10 men to the
Saturday night anti-Tener, anti
Grim meeting and who at first
thought of going to the convention,
was one of the Pinchot men in this
part of the state until the deposed
chief forester, at first supposed to
have legal residence in Pike coun-
ty, came out with the plain state
ment that he voted last time in New
mer place near Milford, he cannot
call himself a Pennsylvania citizen.
For a time after Pinchot, the man
Mr.. Sherwood swore up and down
could be elected, took himself off
the list of third ticket gubernatorial
about running the friend of Col.
Roosevelt and critic of President
Taft and Secretary Wilson for gov
ernor of New York on the Republi-
can ticket. Then, at the last minute,
Col. Roosevelt asked Mr.. Pinchot
to go out to California and do some
stump work for Gov. Hiram John
son, against whom a stubborn fight
is being made.
After his California speaking en-
gagements had been concluded, Mr.
Pinchot started East, but only got
as far as Colorado, where, it appears,
there are more Roosevelt aspirants
for Office that the Colonel thinks Mr..
Pinchot may be able to succor.

SUE RAILROADS FOR FIRES.
New York Claims Damages for Blazes
Engine Sparks Caused.

For the first time in the history
of New York state, actions have been
begun against railroad companies for
damages to timber on state land, due
to fires traced, it is declared, to To-
comotive sparks in 1903 when there
was much damage to state property
during a long drought.
The state bases its actions on the
alleged failure of the railroad COM
panies to cut away brush, grass and
other intiammable material from
their right of way twice year, for
failing to employ an adequate fire.
fighting force, and for neglect to
guard against sparks and cinders
trains were going through the
Ids. Two suits have been insti-
luted against the Delaware and

Some Technicalities About Scranton
Lake Ariel Line.

Various amendments to the Scran-
ton and Lake Ariel railroad ordi-
nance were suggested by the railway
committee of Scranton common
council Tuesday night.
Albert Davis is against the perpet-
ual franchise. John T. Lewis wants
it fixed so that the company can't
block streets indiscriminately. Ed
ward Neureuter wants the company
to pave eighteen inches on each side
of the road where it runs through
the city, instead of twelve inches. w.
H. Snytzer doesn't want poles stuck
up IN front of peoples houses.
John P. Kittredge, Isaac Price and
James Lynott, mail carriers, ask
that a provision be made whereby
mail carriers get free transportation.
President J. j. Brown and w. j.
Davis, two of the promoters, an
nounced that they would be given
it without the necessity of having
to put it in the franchise ordinance.
The committee will visit Maple
street, along the Laurel line. where
a demand has been to compel the
Laurel line to put a gate up.

SMALLPOX PATIENT
REMAINS THE SAME AND HOUSE

EIGHTEEN PERSONS HAVE
BEEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SHOULD NOT WORRY OVER
POSSIBILITY OF AN EPIDEMIC

There is nothing new about the
smallpox situation at Tanners Falls,
DR.. Ely, the county medical exami-
ner, said today. The house where
Franville Bodie lives is quarantined
and everything is being done to keep
the disease from spreading.
1T is doubtless a case of small
pox," said DR.. Ely, who had just
come from an operation he perform
ed with DR.. Smith of Scranton on a
River street patient whose case is
noted elsewhere in this paper.
The total number of persons vac
cinated by him, DR.. Ely said, is 49,
The doctor has letter from Dr.
Bennett of Starrucca in which the
latter says Z. w. Hobbs, the STAR
rucca patient with the disease. is
coming on nicely, though he is not
yet well.
DR.. Ely and the attending physi-
clan do not want the people of Tan
ners Falls to get worked up into a
smallpox scare. From this time on
everything will be done to keep the
disease from getting beyond the one
house where it is now, and people
should not worry themselves into
having smallpox.

THIRD PARTY IN A ROW.
SOiled Political Linen Being Disclos-

There is great need of a peace

Guffey and Berry Hate To Talk
About That Loan.
Flat denial was made yesterday
by Colonel James NJ. Guffey of the
statement issued by William II. Ber-
ry to the effect that the money bor-
rowed by him from Mr.. Guffey was
for the use in the capitol graft in
vestigation and was SO expended.
''The loan made by me to Mr..
Berry was personal one to be used
in his personal business affairs. The
money has never been repaid. You
will have to ascertain the amount
of the loan and the nature of the
collateral from Mr.. Berry," was the
statement he dictated.
Later Mr.. Guffey added: "This
loan in no way should harm Berry
in his political aspirations"
Mr.. Berry absolutely refused to
reply to Col. Guffey's denial.
What is the amount of the Cuff
fey loan?" he was asked.
THAT, too, is a matter do not
wish to discuss" he answered.

TRICK IN OFFER OF PASSES?
Old Erie Railroad Men Reluctant to
Apply for Annuals.

An order was recently issued by
the Erie road to the effect that
all men in the service 35 years will
be entitled to annual passes over the
road for themselves and their wives
What purports to have been the Or

dailies.
Some of the older employees are
disposed to believe the Erie has put
stick" in this act of philanthro-
ply or beneficence. They think II
is trap to catch the old fellows
who can be retired from the service
on account of old age.
There are several men who would
take advantage OF this kindly offer,
but they are afraid to "bite."

Carpenters May Join Them,

Chicago, July Eighteen thousand
men, members of thirty-seven unions
affiliated in the Building Trades coun-

it is expected that the number will be
$4,000. The 10000 carpenters say they
will not join the strike, but according
to labor leaders 1t is not improbable
that the entire membership Of the
Carpenters union viii be called out
today.
The cause of the strike Is the failure
of the Otis Elevator company to re-
move machinists from construction
work on thirty-seven elevators. This
work has been held by the American

CONTRAST IN CLANS.
Giants and Dwarfs Both Come From
Chesapeake Bay.

There was on exhibition at Capt. Joe
Chivells oyster house on the wharf yes
terday a number of the smallest clans
that has been seen on this market in
many years. The CLAIMS came from beds
in Chesapeake bay, and are said to be
something new in the shellfsh line. The
clans were no larger than a thumb nail.
and it took twenty-five or more of them
TO weigh pound.
Severa: days ago Capt. Chivell had on
exhibition a dozen or more CLAIMS from
Chesapeake bay beds that weighed more
than two pounds each. and from the
contrast between the small ones and the
shells Of the big ones 1t does not seem
possible that both sizes could have come
out of the same waters. The ordinary
clam will range in weight from q quar-
ter to a half pound. The clans on ex-
hibition are so small that the shuckers
find them difficult to open.
