ELECT MANN LEADER
EX-SPEAKER CANNON NONu-
MATES HIM-WILL BE MIN
ORITY SPEAKER.

Republicans of both houses took
up matters of organization Monday.
In the House caucus James r. Mann
was chosen as the minority candi-
date for Speaker and floor leader.
There was much criticism of the
Democratic majority for increasing
it's committee members without CIV
ing more places to the minority. The
plan of the insurgents to follow the
Democratic method and choose the
minority committeeman through a
committee on committees was voted
down and Mr.. Mann was authorized
to name the Republican members
On the Senate side the insurgent
Republicans decided to demand a
fourth of the majority committee
places, which would give them
strong representation on important
committees.
Twenty-six of the forty-one insur-
gent members, who had held a con-
ference in the afternoon, were pres
ent at the Republican House caucus.
Fifteen regulars were absent. Mr..
Kendall, of Iowa, an insurgent, was
chosen Secretary of the caucus. EX-
Speaker Cannon made a character
istic speech, denouncing the action
of the Democrats in seizing so large
proportion of the committee places
and nominated MIR. Mann of Illinois
for the Speakership. HS was unani-
mously chosen. Mr.. Madison of Kan
sas, an insurgent, and Mr. Catlin of
Missouri, a new member, escorted
him to the chair. Mr.. Mann also
protested against the action of the
Democrats in increasing the major
ity side of fifteen committees with
out giving the Republicans any part
of the increase, and demanding that
these committees be increased from
twenty-one to twenty-five members,
so that one more Republican men,
ber could be placed on the minority
side.

THE MINE CAVES
Scranton Engineers Re.
port On Problem

The Scranton Truth prints a sum-
mary of the report of the engineers
engaged to investigate the under
ground conditions of the city as
follows:
The engineers, William Griffith
and Eli T. Conner, recommend as
remedy for mine caves that culm,
sand, crushed rock and other ma
terial be flushed into the worked out
portions of veins.
They estimate that the cost of a
plant to do this will be 100000.
They suggest that the work be
done under the supervision of a
Protective Commission of not less
than three or more than five men
representing the city, the school dis
trict and the coal companies.
They advise that the conditions
under Schools Nos. 12, 23 and 29
are serious and require prompt at
tention.
The total area of surface where
there is dintinct and immediate dan
ger to life and property constitutes
but about fifteen per cent. of the en-
tire area of the city.
During the mining operations un-
der the city 221, 100000 tons of min
eral have been removed.
The amount of underground ex-
cavation thus entailed is 198,OOO,-
600 cubic yards. The total excava-
tion work on the Panama canal is
174,666,594 cubic yards.
Caves have reduced by about one
half the size of the holes left under
ground by mining operations
Harmonious plans and procedure
between the city, school board and
coal companies are essential to the
successful carrying out the relief
measures suggested, the engineers
assert.

GAME WARDEN WARNS
GOOD CITIZENS ASKED TO HELP
AGAINST BIRD SLAUGHTER.

Game Warden c. S. Lowery, Scran-
ton, Wednesday night issued a warn
ing to the public against killing in
sectiverous birds and requesting all
good citizens to assist in enforcing
obedience to the law.
Mr.. Lowery's statement follows:
To the Game Wardens and public
generally:
The insectiverous birds are now
coming North and will be with us
in a few days, now that Spring is
here. These birds are a great bene-
fit to the public and especially to
the agriculturists. By feeding on in
sects these birds save vegetables and
fruit for the farmers.
These birds are protected by law
| would request that all good citizens
who wish to do themselves and 9TH
ers a great service will notify the
nearest game warden or constable
if he learns of any violation of the
law. In this region we have lost
many bluebirds and robins through
the activity of people who do not un-
derstand the law. These birds are
especially protected by law.
In the event that no constable or
game warden can be secured to pros
ecute offenders, citizens can reach me
by telephone in Scranton. &.

Chief Game Warden.

TUSTIN BILL AMENDED ON
THIRD READING BY THE
SENATE
The primary election in mu

The primary election in munich
pal years will be held on the last
Saturday in September and not on
the first Saturday in October, as
provided in the Tustin bill amending
the present primary election laws.
The bill was amended when it came
up on third reading in the senate.
1t is expected that the amendment
fixing the primary for the last Satur-
day in September will not be disturb
ed and the Republican leaders eX-
pect the bill to go to the Governor
in this shape. Because of the
change in the date of the primary, it
is necessary to change the registra-
tion laws to conform, and to accom-
plish this, Senator Tustin of Philadel-
phia, introduced a bill amending the
registration laws. This bill fixes
Thursday, August 81, Tuesday, Sept.
5, and Saturday, September 16, as
the registration days in first and sec
ond-class cities. Other amendments
made in the registration laws follow
the recommendation made by the
election commission and approved by
the registration commissioners of
Philadelphia. These recommended
tions were published at the time the
election commissioners first report
was made public month ago.

NEGRO TROOPS REMOVED
FEAR REPETITION OF BROWNS
VILE AFFAIR AT SAN
ANTONIO.

President Taft decided upon the
prompt removal of the negro Ninth
Cavalry from the division camp at
San Antonio in order to avert the
possibility of repetition of the af-
fair of the Twenty-fifth Infantry at
Brownsville in 1906.
Representative Garner of Texas
laid before Mr.. Taft the details of
recent disturbances caused by
troopers of the Ninth Cavalry, who
resented the efforts of street car con-
ductors to enforce the regulations of
the City Council and require them to
sit in seats in street cars provided
for negroes. All the street cars in
San Antonio are of the Jim Crow"
type, and the colored soldiers have
several times torn down the signs
in the cars designating seats for
white and colored passengers. When
demonstrated with, in two instances
they have set upon conductors and
beaten them severely. The disturb
ances became so aggravated that the
Mayor of San Antonio went to Major
Macomb, who commands the regi-
ment, laid the facts before him, and
demanded that the colored troopers
be required to obey the laws so long
as they remained in the city.
Major Macomb admitted the seri-
BUSINESS of the matter, and said that
it was his purpose so far as he was
able to compel his men to behave
themselves. When men went into
the town on pass and filled up on
liquor and seized on a preteXt for
trouble, however, he declared it was
impossible to prevent rows such as
were complained of by the city au-
thorities.
The President after hearing the
complaints, sent for Major Gen.
Wood, Chief of Staff, and directed
that orders be issued to relieve the
Ninth from further service in the di-
visional brigade of cavalry at San
Antonio, and send the regiment to
duty patrolling the Mexican border
as far out in the desert as possible
and'r4eessarily away from cities and
towns where they might have oppor-
tunity to make trouble with the cit
izens of the country.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
REPRESENTATIVES, ALTER, OF
ALLEGHENY, INTRODUCES
1T IN HOUSE.

A Public Utilities bill, drafted by
Attorney General John C. Bell at
the instance of Governor Tener was
introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatives Monday night by Repre-
sentative George A. Alter, of Allie
gheny county.
1t is regarded as the most drastic
measure of this character that has
ever been formulated. 1t covers
sixty-three printed pages and en-
bodies provisions taken from public
service acts now in force in many
States, with additions and amplifica-
tions suggested by the Governor and
a committee of Legislators and mem
bers of the bar who have been in
consultation with the chief execu-
tive and the head of the law de-
partment of the State.
The bill provides for the aboli-
tion of the present Railroad Com
mission of the Commonwealth oi

To further the work of construe-

nal Insane at Farview, now partly
completed, the commission will this
week ask the legislature for an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000.
With the $4,000 to be asked of
the legislature the commission plans
to erect a power house and heating
plant; to furnish the sections of the
hospital already underway and to pro

When this is done, the hospital will
be ready to receive about 200 of the
several hundred criminal insane pa
tients now confined in the several
asylums throughout the state. Even

BAD FOR SALOONS TO ASK $37O,O0O
Supreme Court Refuses
West Chester Licenses
mo SUCH THING AS LICENSED
SALOON OR RESTAURANT"
SAYS COURT.

The Supreme Court has sounded
the death knell of licensed saloons
and restaurants, and it is expected
that the ruling in which the high
tribunal says there can be no such
thing as licensed saloon or restaur-
ant will have the effect of closing at
least one-third of the licensed places
in Pennsylvania.
Attorneys and county judges in
commenting upon the decision say
that the ruling will not affect the
saloon and restaurant licenses now in
force, but it will prevent the renewal
of them. Many such licenses in vari-
Gus parts of the state are now eX-
piring and will not be renewed. In
order to get within the law as inter-
preted by the Supreme Court, all Ii
censed places must have accommoda-
tions for man and beast, in other
words they must be hotels in every
sense of the word. In the population
centres, especially the large cities,
the ruling will prevent the granting
of hundreds of licenses by the county
courts, because of the non-necessity
of so many hotels.
The following news dispatch sent
out from West Chester, tells of the
effect the Supreme Court ruling has
had there:
"Under the recent ruling of the
Supreme Court stating that there is
no such thing as restaurant or eat
ing saloon license, that all licenses
are of the hotel order granting the
right to sell all kinds of malt and
spirituous liquors, the court here on
Friday refused all four of the West
Chester applications for saloons on
the ground of their not being needed
and their not having the facilities un-
der the hotel privileges for taking
care of man and beast. Judge Hemp
hill closed the doors of restaurant

CAMORRISTS PLEASED
Quilted OF MURDER
CHARGE.

In their cells at the medieval
monastery of Santa Maria in Gradi,
Viterbo, Italy, the accused Camor-
rists gloated over what they describ-
ed as the triumph of Enrico Alfano,
alias "Erricene," in the court of the
Assizes, Friday and Saturday.
AS a whole they are satisfied with
the development of the case and they
believe that they will be acquitted
of the charge of numbering the Cuo-
colos without even being obliged to
introduce witnesses in their de-
fense.
Alfano, who repeatedly interrupt
ed his interrogation to harangue the
court and jury and denying that he
was the actual head of the Gamorra
and proclaiming the innodehce of
himself and associates, is more than
ever a hero in the eyes of his fell
low prisoners. He has received
many messages of congratulation
from Naples.
All of the lawyers for the defense
visited the prison and conferred with
their clients during the day.

PRINCETON PRESIDENT
CHOICE LIES BETWEEN JOHN
FINLEY AND JOHN HIBBEN.

The Presidency of Princeton Uni
versity lies between President John
H. Finley of City College and Prof.
John Grier Hibben of the Chair of
Logic at Princeton, according to
sources of information close to
members of the Princeton Board of
Trustees.
The special committee of the Trus-
tees appointed to nominate Presi-
dent was expected to reach a decis-
ion between the two at a special
meeting at II o'clock yesterday
morning at Princeton. This COM
mittee is composed of John l.. Cad
walader of New York, chairman; c..
H. Dodge, the Rev. DR.. Melancthon
w. Jacobus of Hartford, Cyrus H..
Mccormick of Chicago, the Rev. Dr..
Taylor Pine. They are among the
most prominent members of the
Princeton board. They have not the
authority to elect a President, but
only to make a nomination. Prince
ton alumni said yesterday, however,
that a unanimous recommendation
by them would be tantamount to
election.
Mr.. Cadwalader's committee has
been actively looking for successor
to Gov. Woodrow Wilson for six
months or more. Many names have
been considered and a process of ELI
mination has been going on steadily
until a point has now been reached
where a considerable list has been
narrowed down to the men named,
with the chances said to be slightly
in favor of DR.. Finley.

Conference, is of interest to the large

the southwest, to the York state
line, with couple of charges across
the border, and in the triangle form

its western and southern boundaries.

In forming the Scranton district
last spring, Bishop Berry took fif-
teen charges from the old Wyoming
district, ten from the Binghamton
district, and all but one from the
Honesdale district, thus making a
district of fifty-fve charges. Terri
torially, it includes all but three of
the Methodist Episcopal churches of
Lackawanna county, nearly all of
Wayne, the northeastern quarter of
Susquehanna, a strip along the east

in Pike and Monroe counties, and
two charges extending into Sullivan
