The business to be transacted was agreed upon and at the next formal meeting of the board a motion would commit the board to the proposed action. There would be no discussion, nothing to acquire the public with the importance or meaning of action Efforts of the riowspapers to get information were uniformly unsatisfactory. WADE M. FINN'S REMARKS.

Recently Wade M. Finn, who is credited by Detective Robert Wilson with having been his greatest aid in the probe of the Scranton city council several years ago and the more recent probe fn Pittsburg was in conversation with a local citizen. "Pittsburg must certainly be very corrupt. The newspaper reports of the graft cases there make it appear! that the city is officially rotten," said the citizen. "Wait and don't holler too much about Pittsburg.

You have heard that saying about glass houses and stone throwing," remarked Mr. Finn. For several monthB there have been reports going the rounds from: time to time that Detective Wilson was conducting some sort of an In vestigation here. Mr. Finn has al i ready appeared in the probe here, having conferred with the district attorney since the probe started.

In no other public body is the city more vitally interested than in the school board. The board employs between 500 and 600 persons, the teachers of the city numbering 503. So, when certain members of the school board say that they welcome a thorough investigation they are echoing the cry of the city. Never was there a more general demand for a thorough probe of a public body of the city than that at present in reference to the school board. And while the probe of the city's school district is under way there are old rumors creeping out of the way in which the aftairs of other school districts in the county have been handled or are being handled.

Up in Carbondale they have been shouting "reform the school board" for years. The same cry has gone up from Priceburg and other places in the valley. CARBONDALE BOARD. Not more than a month ago a prominent county official declared that the manner in which the Carbondale school board has been acting is being investigated and that something was due to drop soon in connection with that body. The nrobe here is bringing a general awakening ih the other school dis tricts throughout the county and it Is not far fetched to say that the present probe is likelv to extend its scope.

If the rumors which have Deen pop ping up here atad there for years, relative to the manner in which some applicants for positions as teachers get positions, are found by the investigation to have had foundations in fact, it wil lbe" made' one of the important featur'l of the probe. At present the contrcTr has the privilege of naming the teuthers in the schools located in his waraIt4is often the case that applicants for petitions as teachers and who are thorouglsy competent are compelled to wait Jfor years to secure places while many 'others whose applications come much later lose but little time in getting places. Here is one incident much discussed at the time which shows how the employment and placing of teachers is done. A lady teacher had a place in a school located in a very lonely mountain section of the city. Before an election of a controller in that ward she was transferred to another school, this being located in a congested part of the city.

The change had been what she had been working for for years. After the election, which had resulted in the defeat of the controller who had made the transfer, the newly elected controller, who charged that the teacher had asked her friends to vote for his opponent, as his first official duty, caused the transfer of the young lady back to the school in the mountain. And there have been many other incidents of a somewhat similar character coming to light often during the past several years. TO PROBE BUILDINGS. The grand jury which has undertaken this investigation is expected to go Into the erection of buildings, employment of architects, and the specifications for materials for building and supplies for the district.

Business men have repeatedly charged that it is well nigh impossible to get any of the business of the school district hereabouts unless you happen to be in the favor of some of the members. There are business men who say they have tried for years without avail to get some of the business and many of the bitter fights for office in which large sums of money have been spent to elect or defeat a controller, is the result of the effort of interested parties to retain to them, desirable man on the board or to defeat a man who stood in the way of the hoped for contract with the district. When the jury takes up the question of books and seats in schools and the employment of teachers the real fireworks of the investigation are expected. It is then that the probe is likely to reach county wide proportions. HONORS IN ENGLAND FOR COMMANDER PEARY London, May 2.

WOMAN OPENS FIRE ON BURGLARS WHO RUN Emptying the chambers of a revolver at random, Mrs. Ruth Lynett, of 1217 Blair avenue, this morning frightened away two burglars at the home of her brother, Frank J. Frederick.

She discovered the men in the dining room, and after she had fired once, they took to their heels. She continued to shoot, however, until she had used up all the ammunition. Two men were seen in the yard about 1 o'clock this morning, but they were frightened away by Mr. Frederick. Mrs.

Lynett was unnerved and unable to sleep, so that a few minutes later, after retiring, when she heard footsteps in the back part of the house, she quickly jumped up and grabbed the revolver. As soon as she charged on them, the men ran, one of them returning the first fire. The bullet lodged in the wall of the kitchen. They had no time to take any loot with them. DUNMORE.

FATHER MURPHY'S STATEMENT. Rev. P.

J. Murphy pastor of St. Patrick's church, Olyphant, declared today that the probers shouldn't stop at Scranton. "There was a school build up here at a cost of $50,000 and it was to be something that the borough would be proud of," he says. "Instead it looks as if built for half that amount and is unworthy of the borough.

The directors refused to put an inspector on the Job though myeelf and other citizens made this demand upon them. Yes, come to Olyphant, while you're probing, a gold mine may also be struck here" he added. A local business man tells a story of how a school board in one of the boroughs up the valley tried to get him to come up with 500 to land a contract for furnishing seats. He was told that another agent had offered that amount and that he would have to come across. The board pointed out to him that he could hand the board two bills, one charging for 450 seats at $3.10 each and the other for the same number of seats at $3.75 each.

The sum raised in this way could apply on the donation of $500 to the board, it was explained to him, he says. And he has direct evidence of this. Lost, in the vicinity of Clark's Summit, bunch of keys with fchain attached. Liberal reward if returned to this office. 2t3 L.
