Tnu WEST SIDE fa CONDUCT LOTTERY One Arraigned Yesterday On Charge of Obtaining Honey Under False Pretences OTHERS TO BE ARRESTED When Mrs. Martha Davis was ar raigiic. last night before Alderman Timothy Jenes, of West Scranton, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, it developed that for some time past a number of women or that section of the city have been conducting a pool that lately has steadily grown larger. Mrs.

Davis was arrested at the instance of Mrs. Hannah Quinn Davis, of Farr street, her daughter in law, wno alleged that not long ago sne was Induced to become a member of a "money club," dubbed a "West Scranton Monte Carlo," by Attorney C. W. Soper. The club wae composed of thirty six members, each of whom contributed $1 per week.

The name that was first drawn on drawing day was awarded the $36. After donating $15 in one dollar installments to the cause, says Mrs. Davis, she was finally returned the winner. Her mother in law, she alleges, was present when, the drawing was made, and claimed the money, for the purpose, she said, of meeting the indebtedness of her son, Mrs. Hannah Davis husband.

It was on this ac count that the warrant was issued. The case was settled. Today it is expected that the secre tary of the society will be arraigned on the charge of conducting a lottery. The warrant was issued yesterday but the identity of the woman could not be eetablished In time to bring her into court. A severe penalty attaches to the conducting of a lottery, which has lately come to be strictly prohibited by the law.

The authorities declare thev will sift this one to the bottom, now that they have some tangible thread along wnicn io worn.

MANY SPEECHES MADE Sixty five men attended a meeting of the Men's club of Green Ridge last night in the Parish house of the Church of the Good She "herd, purchased buttons of the dependent Voters' league at five cents per button.

ana listened to four speeches by local attorneys, each representing a different political party. J. W. Browning, president of the club, presided. The speakers were: H.

C. Reynolds, for the Independent voters' league; George D. Taylor, candidate for the Democratic nomination for the school board, representing 'the real Democratic party; Milton W. Lowry, representing the Republican party. Mr.

Reynolds opened the discussion. He said In opening that the present campaign was not one of men particularly, but of measures, and a business administration. "How can we secure the best gov ernment in local affairs?" asked Mr. Reynolds. "No other plan Is possible than that of getting rid of politics in local affairs.

"It is possible in this city to insti tute a body of' Independent voters, the weight of whose influence hanging over would compel the selection of bet ter men," said Mr. Reynolds. "The present council of five is vastly better In government than the body of sixty five councilmen, but as the situation is now the mayor practically controls that body. What a change In conditions. Council now has the power to remove the head of a department.

For a time the mayor alone will control this body and then conditions will get so bad that the people will rise and crush them out." Taylor's Hat Is Off. George D.

Bunnell spoke for the Democrats, advancing the proposition that all candidates for council should agree to serve for four years at a salary of $2,000 a year. Mr. Bunnell said that he believed that the time was past when a man's political complexion would be determined by the way he voted.

Poem by Milton W. Lowry. Milton W. Lowry, speaking for the Republicans, had much to say relative to the birth of the Republican party, its achievements nationally and In this state, and wound up with this poem, composed by himself: BY MILTON W. LOWRY.

A rhyme is due the chosen few, Who told the Goveirf what to do In our councilmans selection. Removed from the public eye and weal, With an unbecoming haste and zeal In a manner that's pitiable to reveal. They consummated their foxy deal Of machine approved complexion. 1 These bosses, each wise in his own con celt, In quest of a truckling Bill or Pete, Or any suppliant victim. Who had the reliance to do and to dare, Take and execute orders with sycophant care And to carry out measures, both foul and fair, Who were willing and ready the collar to ear.

The sardonic badge of their dictum. They hunted around with their searching grill For a pliant Peter or a Le or a Bill, Somewhere to be found in the borders; It wasn't ability, standing or skill. They wanted the vacant places to fill But a readiness rather to do their ill And to furnish political grist for their mm. And never question their orders. Another thing that Isn't new To this self appointed peanut crew.

1 Who canvassed the field of Mammon: A man was wanted who had the rocks. Or better, a boy whose sire had stocks And bonds, or pelf stowed away In his SOCKS. To furnish the bunch with barrel or box Of spoils for political gammon. So these petty bosses completed the roll, With a lad ambitious, who'd pay the toll In the coming Fall For they reasoned it out in their greedy lust, That If pushed fr the pie to the rim of the crust, And their rusty mac'ilne were likely to bust. His plethoric dad would "Come down with the dust," In behalf of their selection.

Hence, this is the bunch of buns we go And no say, as to whether we'd have 'em or not. And now, is a worse condition While the people are wishing to have some say These bantam tin soldiers. In battle array. With a solid front, are obstructing the way. The fieht is on and "hell to pay With the City Hall in position.

PICTURES OF WORKINGS Mine caves, their causes and the remedies, were discussed last night by William Griffith, one of the experts employed by the council and school board of this city to make a report of underground conditions. Mr. Griffith talked to a large audience at a meeting of the Engineers' club of northeastern Pennsylvania.

He Illustrated his talk with stereoptlcon views of mining conditions, and explained in detail many of the features of the report made to the city by Eli T. Connor, the other investigator, and himself several months ago. Flushing with culm and sand, cogging, building concrete pillars, forming artiflcail pillars by blowing up the rock bottom top of worked out veins, were among the remedies endorsed by Mr. Griffith. He showed figures of the cost of these remedies.

He dwelt also on the geological formation of the coal and gave statistics showing the amount of coal that has been excavated from under this city, and the amount that remains to be mined. After the address the members of the audience were shown maps of the workings in all parts of the city, and were acquainted with the conditions under their homes and "business places. Cause of Cavas. Mr. Griffith pointed out that the primary cause of the mine cave trouble was the failure of the coal operators of a generation ago to columnlze the pillars In the veins they worked.

He said that in most instances the custom of the operators to leave one third of the coal stand as pillars had been followed out, but that they had failed to provide for the superimposing of these pillars, one over the other. It was the lack of this columnizatlon that caused the cave at No. 16 school two years ago, he said. Mr. Griffith told of a recent settling under No.

44 school which was not noticed by the occupants of the school, and the columnizatlon of pillars and the complete mining of all the veins were given by him as the reason for the failure of the settling to damage the building. The utility of the several kinds of flushing, cribbing and other remedies suggested in the investigator's report was explained by the speaker and illustrated by drawings. He also told of the work being done by several companies In protecting the surface, and said the flushing now under way by the Scranton Coal company, which follows the report, will more than pay the city and school district the cost of the investigation. Mr. Connor also addressed the audience, explaining several salient features of the report and outlining the mine cave remedies.

A luncheon and smoker followed the addresses. AUTO BUS LINE BETWEEN GREEN RIDGE AND CITY C. A. Battenburg and A. V.
