BOARD TO
SEPARATE LYNCH
AND KDERM|TI
After Trial by Board, It Is De-
cided to Transfer Ac.
Cused Captain.

Captain George r. Lynch, of Truck
No. 5, is today firmly convinced that he
and Battalion Chief McDermitt will be
divorced The charges against Cap
tain Lynch, which were made by Nc
Dermitt, who says that Lynch falsiied
the company's journal, were up for
hearing at the meeting of the Fire
Board yesterday, and Lynch was told
that for the good Of the service he
and McDermitt would be separated.
The trouble arose when Lynch. OF
August s. received permission from
Acting Deputy Chief Morgan to leave
his quarters in order that he might
pay his lodge dues. Lynch asked for
an hours leave but remained away an
hour and forty minutes. No entry of his
absence was made in the journal. and
when Battalion Chief McDermitt noticed
for Lynch to bring the journal with
him to headquarters. Before doing so.
Lynch ordered Fireman Harry. J..
Felmly to make the entry that should
have been made when Lynch left the
firehouse. This, said McDermitt, was
equal to Justification.
AT the trial Yesterday, Lynch adj
mitted having ordered Felmly to make
the entry, but said that it was with no
intention to deceive,
Lynch said that although 1t was one
of the rules of the department to make
an entry when an officer or fireman
leaves the house, 1t Is not always done
in the absence of officers. He stated
that he had the entry made in order
to show at headquarters that he jour-
nal was kept in good shape.
Hold Executive Session.
The commissioners went into execu-
tive session to decide IN the verdict,
and President Burke announced later
that tho commissioners decided that 1t
was all q mistake and that McDermitt
and Lynch would be divorced" He
further stated that in the future 1t
would be considered an offense to make
an entry in the Journal under similar
circumstances. Commissioner STRAIT
ton took exception to the manner in
which the chairman stated the deci-
sion, and said hat 1t was decided that
Lynch be reprimanded and transferred.
MI. Burke maintained hat his verdict
was the one decided on and the matter
was dropped.
Following the verdict McDermitt
asked permission to. talk about a news
paper article published in a local paper
recently that spoke of his charges
against Lynch, and further said that
there was a division and a fractional
feeling among the commissioners. Pres
ident Burke ruled McDermitt out of
order and told him that his grievance
was with the newspaper and not with
the Fire Board. and that he had re-
course to law If the item was libelous.
McDermitt, greatly agitated, said that
he would take 1t up with the newspa-
per in question.
Fireman Michael Pagan, of Engine
10, for failing to report for duty on two
occasions, will lose his n day off in
six for five weeks.

GOOD WORK
OF CITY COUNSEL

The fact that party lines have been
forgotten and that the spirit of fault
finding, criticising and knocking has
made room for a spirit of boosting the
city. was the subject of remarks by
City Counsel James r. Nugent when
the finance committee OF the Common
Council wound up it's work for the year
last night. Mr.. Nugent was in turn
thanked for the interest he. has shown
in the work of the committee and the
aid he has extended.
Alderman Congleton remarked that
no city counsel a ever taken his
duties as seriously a. has Mr.. Nugent
and attended all the meetings of the
finance committee. "Other city coun-
sells could be SEEM" he said, "only
when an opinion was demanded of
them, but Mr. Nugent has always been
present and has given us valuable aid
and fair advice"

ORIGINAL CAST TO
Be At THE NEWARK
IN SEVEN DAYS.
Wagenhals & Kemper Co. Stole
a March on Time by "Cinch-
ing" Contracts.

Those most interested are laying
stress on the fact that the original
New York east is coming to the New
ark Theatre next week in Seven Days"
The point is emphasized thai there has
not been a single change in the "Seven
Days" company since 1t was at the
Astor Theatre. There is good reason
for ~accentuating this original cast as
pect Of the Newark engagement. I'm
fortunately it is seldom that an organ
ization leaves New York intact.
After a big ucce has had its day
on Broadway and takes to 1.-THE road"
there are generally many changes in
the cast, so hat sometimes 1t is mock
cry to call 1t the original, and again
SO bare a skeleton of the original
remains that 1T would require
an expert in anatomy to pick out the
remnants. Ordinarily the public blames
theatrical managers for cutting down
or off the original New York company.
Frequently such blame Is misplaced. 1t
isn't always possible for a manager to
retain those players who have made
successes Of their respective roles on
III HoS' iitC WISH u otdy lOAOFOl
on the Gay White Way and refuse to
leave. Often, too, the hits they have
made -iH~a play lead to bigger offers
from another manager, SO they desert,
which is most natural and comes under
the head of business.
But all thesetcontingencies were fore
seen and provided against by the
Wagenhals & Kemper Company in
shaping up "Seven Days. This man
agement had beef taught its lesson and
knew how not to get caught a second
time. So the very night that Seven
Days was produced at the Astor The
atre and the management realized that
it was a knockout they went directly
among the actors, not waiting for the
curtain to fall on the last act or to
give the players a chance to read about
their hits in the papers next day, and
signed a three years contract with
every one of them. And this contract
cannot be broken by the actors.
OF course, there were advances of
salary and all those things most coveted
by actors as we'll as other mortals, and
there were provisions for parts in new
plays in Broadway productions, so that
everybody vas happy, the actors in
what the future as well as the present
held for them under this contract. and
the management in having fixed things
SO that the original cast would be pre-
served to the end of the chapter.
That Is why Seven Days is coming
to the Newark Theatre with the COM
pany that played the comedy at the
Astor Theatre.

LECTURE COURSE SUCCESSFUL.
EIdora Association Has Snug Balance
Source Of Satisfaction.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Feb. 21.-The Eldora Lecture
Association has just closed another
very successful year. The treasurer's
report shows balance on hand of
$112.39, little less than the balance
at the close OF last years business. but
this is probably due to the fact that
more season tickets We're sold this
year than ever before. causing de-
crease in single admissions. The rent
OF the opera house was increased 50
a night over last year. and the extra
number, Victor and his Venitian band.
which the association backed, lost
them a little money The talent cost
more this year than before. so, every
thing considered, the association Is
now better off than any time since Its
organization.
1t is a great source Of pleasure to
the people of Eldora to know that Ell
dora Is quoted all over the country as
the model lecture course town. 1t Is
said that those who book the talent
need only say that Eldora had this
number last year or the year before
to get 1t booked.
The committee who are responsible
for the success Of the course includes
Ellis d. Robb, Rev. w. Il. Stanley, Prof
A. j. Cavana, Fred j. Edgar, and Mrs.
James Nuckols.
The association will have another
course next year.

Police Charge Mob With Drawn
RevoIvers-several Arrests Made.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb 21.-In spite
Of yesterdays severe rioting, the Phil
adelphia Rapid Transit Company start
ed its early morning schedule today
without apparent interruption by strik-
ers or their sympathizers. Motormen
and conductors who had slept in barns
on cots provided by the company,
| manned the cars, protected by police
men on both pplatforms. Not a missile
was thrown. however, on the early
morning trips. The cars carried few
passengers.
The strikers claim that $500 men out
Of about 1000 are on strike and that

strikebreakers and powerhouse en-
ployes. The company declares it is op-
Grating 600 cars with its own employees

nection with the strike of the employees

the time this decision was made
conditions had become SO serious that
Mayor Reyburn had sworn in 5000 ex-
ira police and had issued a proclama-
tion enforcing the riot act and placing
the city under what practically was
martial law.

revolver. as she was stepping from her
horne at 929 North Thirteenth street,
while a mob was attacking five trolley
cars in front Of the house.

bullet from a policeman's revolver,
which was fired while the officers were
attempting to check a mob trying to
destroy cars at Twenty sixth and
Wharton streets.

MORGAN POWER GROWS.
Now Controls One Tenth of Wealth oi
United States,

NOW Controls Ono Tenth of Wealth of
United States.
New York, Feb 21.-The continued
extension of ]. Pierpont Morgan's tre-
mendous power in the financial world
has become the principal subject Of
discussion in banking circles in Eu-
rope and America and experts are busy
trying to figure out what it means.
They agree that the colossal centrali-
zation now going on will exercise upon
financial America an influence that
thrills the imagination with its i'm
mensity.
Since Mr.. Morgan's recent acquisi-
ton Of the stock Of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society and the control OF
a number of additional trust compan-
les accountants have been at work fig
uring the Morgan interest. They find
that:
The Morgan influence covers institu-
tions and enterprises having assets and
capitalization of twelve billions of dol
lars, equal to one-ninth the wealth of
the United States.
The gross earnings of the railroads
controlled or partly financed by the
house of Morgan represent one-third
the gross earnings Of all the railroads
in the Uni.ed States.
The "ba.l<ing power" of the banks
and trust companies controlled wholly
or in part by the house Of Morgan Is
t1O.7 per cent Of the "hanking power
OF all the banks and trust companies
In the United States.
The financial district views the CEN
tralization under Mr.. Morgan various
ly An international banker points out
that it will make the United States a
greater financial power and perhaps
that prospect is partly responsible for
the criticism coming from the other
side. A German writer goes so far as
to call Mr.. Morgan "a menace to the
civilized world" This German alarm
list says Mr.. Morgan can make or un-
make panics in America and that he
has too much power for one man.
In its vario,fS. connections and re-
lations with some Of the country's
leading financial institutions and en-
terprises, j. p. Morgan & Co., may be
said to represent capitalization and as
sets amounting. In the United States
alone, to $9,176,308,423. This colossal
figure includes five principal groups 1t
