Peck Believes if Citizens Are Interested Petition Will Be Made to Ascertain Sentiment. Nothing has been dona, by Mayor Oeorgs W. Pock or the Common Council of this city to have daylight saving hours here during tha mm- mer months.

Mayor Peck recently snld that the matter had not been brought to hla attention through) any petition or request for any Organisa tion, and he thought If daylight aav-lng Is wanted here, some such request would be made. Attorney Cornelius O'DeaV majority leader oS the Common Council, today said that as fur as ha knows nothing haa been done to ascertain the sentiment of a majority of the people of the city lpthe matter. I'ndcr a new enacted state law local management of myself i as president and 'general manager; John Keynolds or tne w. wool-worth Company of New York City, vice-president and director; Judge B. F.

Junes of Newark, N. remains general counsel and director- H. H. Pearl remains as superintendent and Is now a director. H.

Opp will remove to New York City and Richard D. Opp haa resigned as secretary. These changes have been made with the entire cooperation of all the stockholders." On the face of It, there seems more behind the changes announced than appears on the surface. Who is im plicated and how is a matter those in authority prefer to leave to conjecture. An Klmiran, Informed! on the affairs of the company, has de clared that no one has been Injured in Elmira.

Then, he asks, why should unpleasant matters be aired In public, when they effect only the stockholders? If they are satisfied with the arrangements made to continue the business, wouldn't It seem that I all that necessary? Naturally the refusal of the company officials to speak frankly, regarding recent developments, brings a wealth of questions from a suspicious public. These, It seems, must remain unanswered for the present, at least. There are no indications now that the business secrets undisclosed will become a matter of record and therefore public property. Whatever there is behind the company's reorganization of Its executive force, satisfactory arrangements apparently have been made insofar as those financially Interested In the lo-'cnl factory are concerned. he forged a check on the Western Union Telegraph Company for $10, which chock was cashed by John Rich, a fruit dealer, on I-ake street.
