TRIBUTE TO A WAYNE COUNTY
MAN.

Among the " Afternoon Echoes
of the Scranton Truth in it's issue for
August 2S, we caught the following
about the Superintendent of the Hos
pital for the Criminal Insane at Far
view:
While in Carbondale, the famous
Judge Ben B. Linsey of Denver, who
was called to the Pioneer City to ad-
dress the Chautauqua, paid a high
compliment to a former resident of
this city, DR.. T. C. FitZsimmons, now
superintendent of the State Hospital
for the Criminal Insane at Farview.
Speaking of the new method of treat
ment for the unfortunate man who
comes under the ban of the law, the
judge thought it we'll that he is re-
garded as human being. The judge
described the method adopted at Far
view of putting inmates on their
honor in giving them certain meas
ure of liberty and said that such
measures have been far more effec-
tive as a restraint than placing a
large armed guard over the man.
DR.. Fitzsimmons is a brother of John
Fitzsimmons, the well known local
insurance man, and of the late Col.
F. j. Fitzsimmons, lawyer and news
paper owner"
The Fitzsimmons family was a
| Wayne county institution. Their
home and farm was in Canaan town
ship, right in the neighborhood OF
Farview.

WINS DOUBLE
HEADER LABOR DAY.

The Crescents of the Keystone
League were defeated in two games
on Labor Day in rather easy fashion
by the locals who played good ball
in both games.
Home runs are fast becoming the
fashion, Faatz being the hero on Sat
urday when he put one over the riv-
er bank in right-center field, scoring
two runs ahead of him and putting
the game on ice for the locals, as
Loll pitched one of the best games
of his career, allowing the visitors
but four hits, one of which was very
scratchy. He struck out eight, and
batted 1000, having three hits and
a base on balls in four times up.
Score by innings first game:
Honesdale % 2 0 0 Ks
Crescents 20 0 1 L %
Honesdale scored six runs in the
fifth inning of the second game on
hits by Brader, Tarkett and Vetter
and three errors by the Crescents.
The Crescents came back in the sixth
and scored six runs and knocked Vet
ter out of the box, five hits, base
on balls and two errors doing the
trick. Hessling finished the game
for Honesdale. Final score to 7.

Sunday, August 31st, 1913, was
looked forward to by the local
knights of Columbus with much an
ticipation, as on that day, they and
large number of visiting Knights
were to have eXemplified here the
third degree of the order. More
than 500 knights arrived on the
special train over the Delaware &
Hudson at II o'clok a. m, taking
in all the towns on that line from
Wilkes-Barre to Carbondale, includ-
ing Forest City, Dunmore and the
entire valley. This delegation pre-
ceded at once to st. Johns Roman
Catholic church where Mass was
celebrated by Rev. Edward H.
Burke, assistant pastor, and a SER
mon preached by the pastor Rev. j.
]. OToole.
Attended Memorial Mass.
At 8 o'clock, the members of the
Honesdale Council, 100 strong, at
tenued Memorial services at st. Mary
Magdalen Roman Catholic church,
where mass was celebrated and a
strong, scholarly, vigorous sermon
delivered by the pastor, Rev. DR.. j.
w. Balta. The sermon was along
the lines Of the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of this magnificent order, and
the powerful influence which it could
exert for good, not only by their own
acts but the influence which they
would exert upon others.
At p. m. another special train
on the Erie arrived from Port Jer-
Wis, bringing 100 Knights from that
and intermediate towns, including
Hawley and White Mills. At 2:30
! the exercises began in the State Arm
ory. The third degree was eXem-
plified by District Deputy n. P. Ken,
nedy of Scranton, and Thomas ]
Mclaughlin of Newark, n. j. A
large number of honorary guests
were present from Pittsburg, Phila
delphia and other cities, among the
! number being State Deputy A. S. Nc
SWagan of Pittsburg. After the cere
monies the guests were all served
with lunch in the basement of the
state armory, and afterwards a mu
sical and literary treat was given
which extended into the evening, al
most to train time.
Philip R. Murray, Jr., Crane
Knight of the Honesdale Council

NO COMMITTEEMAN TO
BE ELECTED THIS FALL.

There has been some misunder-
standing regarding the new primary
law as to just what Offices will be
filled this fall. 1t appears now that
committeeman will not be eelcted un-
til the spring primary, although it
was advertised and petitions have
been filed for this office. Solicitor
Homer Greene has made a careful
study of the new primary law and
the fact that committeeman do not
have to be elected now. is one of the
discoveries which he made. Without
a doubt Wayne county will be more
correct than the majority of counties
in the state, as Solicitor Greene has
studied he new law day and night in
order that it be rightly followed. 1t
will probably be a year before the
law will be as it was intended.

REPUBLICANS LEAD IN REGIS
TRATION.

Registration officials at the vari-
Gus polling places in Scranton had
little trouble with the new registra-
tion law Friday or in getting the vo-
ters to declare their party affiliation
according to reports received at the
offices of the registration commits
sioners.
Indications at a late hour were
that the first days registration was
the heaviest that it has been for
years. Indications also are that the
Washington party registration is
nearly four to one smaller than the
Republican party registration. The
general synopsis of the figures OBJ
tainable show that about four Re.
publicans registered where two Dem
ocrats and one Washington party
voter registered.
The light registration of Washing
ton party voters is something of {
puzzle to the politicians, as it wa!
expected that there would be ar
unusual heavy registration undel
this party classification. That tn,
Republicans should register such {
large number of voters in all sec
tions of the city and the Washington
party such small number leads thu
wise ones to believe that those wht
left the party last Fall on nationa
issues are returning to the party thi
Fall on county issues.

ACCIDENT IN GARAGE
PROVES ALMOST FATAL
CHARLES WESTGATE RECEIVED
FRACTURED SKULL WHEN
PINCHED BETWEEN AUTOS.

Was Taken To Hospital in Carbon
dale That Night-Latest Reports
From Carbondale Say That Iniur-
ed Man May Live.
Charles Westgate, aged 40 years,
of Carbondale, received a fractured
skull and jaw bone on Saturday eve
ming about eight o'clock when he was
wedged in between two cars in
Gammells garage. He was taken to
Carbondale that evening and placed
in a hospital under the charge of
DR.. Niles and the last reports re-
ceived here state that the operation
was successful and that Westgate
would live.
Mr.. Westgate was removing a tire
on a Ford car which stood on the
left hand side of the garage and was
on the floor in front of the machine.
Another car on the opposite side of
the building was being taken out.
1t was impossible to swing the ma
chine out straight ahead so the
driver attempted to go ahead a lit
tie and then back to position to make
the straight run for the door. In so
doing the clutch refused to work and
the car went ahead directly toward
the Ford car. Mr.. Westgate was un-
able to get out of the way and his
head was caught between the two
cars.
Drs. H. B. Ely and L.. B. Nielsen
were called and attended the injur-
ed man who had regained conscious
ness before their arrival. He was
then taken to the Carbondale hospi-

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGEsHIP.
Cornelius Comegys, of Scranton, the
Only Candidate From North
eastern Pennsylvania.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 90.-The re-
suit of the primary for the selection
of candidates for the Superior Court
is awaited with great interest here.
There are two vacancies to be filled,
and fifteen candidates for them,
scattered throughout the State, most
ly in the south and west, with only
one, Cornelius Comegys, in North
eastern Pennsylvania. Mr.. Comegys
has followed his profession in Scran-
ton for thirty years, is a lawyer OF
great ability and citizen of high
. standing, who has never been a
politician and never held office. In
politics he has been perfectly in
dependent. In his own county and in
Luzerne, as we'll as in the neighbor-
ing counties, the newspapers, Re-
publican, Democratic, Progressive
and Prohibition alike, all join in
supporting him; and he also has the
undivided support of the lawyers
generally throughout this section OF
the State without regard to theiI
party affiliations. 1t is felt that he
will poll a great vote at the primar'
les.

SMALLPOX IN TEXAS TOWNSHIP

A case of smallpox has been dis
covered in Texas township just out
side the borough limits. County
Medical Inspector L. B. Nielsen has
instructed Health Officer n. B..
Spencer to put guards around the
house of Mrs. James Carr at AIS
Ridge street so that no one will VEN
ture on the premises. All precau-
tions have been taken to guard
against the spread of the disease.
On Monday Horace Carr, aged 19,
who is employed at the Elevator
works was taken sick after he came
home at noon. 1t was thought at
first that he had been poisoned by
ivy and DR.. Petersen was not called
until Friday when in consultation
with DR.. H. B. Ely the case was pro-
nounced smallpox. Medical Inspec-
tor Nielsen was then notified and an
attempt was made to reach the state
authorities who will probably come
here to look into the case. The case
is a mild one and no great danger
is thought likely to develop from it,
The borough heretofore has been
very fortunate to escape an epidemic
of this kind and has been free from
smallpox for about year. 1t has
not been ascertained where the
young man contracted the disease
but he visited Port Jervis a few
weeks ago and it is presumed that it
was contracted while in that city.
The employees in the electrical de-
partment in which Carr worked, were
all vaccinated and every precaution
has been taken.

church has marched for fifteen hun
dred years at the head of civilization,
and has harnessed to her chariot, as
the horses of a triumphal car, the
chief intellectual and material forces
of the world; her art, the art of the
world; her genius, the genius of the
world; her greatness, her glory, her
grandeur and majesty, have been al
most, though not absolutely, all that
in these respects the world has to
boast of. Her children are more
numerous than all the children of
the sects combined; she is every day
enlarging the boundaries of her vast
empire; her altars are raised in
every cline and her missionaries are
to be found wherever there are men
to be taught the Gospel of immortal
ity, and souls to be saved. And this
wondrous church, which is as old as
christianity, and as universal as
mankind, is to-day, after its twenty
centuries of age, as fresh and vigor.

JUDGE Landis' Decision Does

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Judge Lands, In

eept jurisdiction in the suit OF Elsie
De Wolfe, designed to test the con
stitutionality of the income tax law.
The effect of the decision is to send
the case direct to the supreme court
OF the United States. Judge Lands
decision does not involve the consti
nationality of the law.
w. Bourke Cochran, of counsel fol
the plaintiff, will file an appeal from
Judge Lands decision.
The proceedings were brief. Miss
De Wolfe sued the Continental ant
Commercial Trust and Savings banf
for interest on bonds, which interes'
the bank withheld because she hao
not filed a certificate of ownership as
required by the income tax law.

to the effect that the United States
district court did not have jurisdic
gtion. 1t was a matter of contract be
tween plaintiff and defendant ant
