AFTERNOON, JIJNE 24, 1910. MSStlABE UlTII CAVE LEGISLATION MORE PRIMARY FRAUD IS BEING UNEARTHED SB ATCHBtL IA vELiRT of .288 THAN ON tier hoai charM ike loan bfor yfl CU 8ATB TOO Jtktr and Jeweler. AWANKA AVE. precipitated a lengthy discussion, the outcome of which was the ruling of tbe chair, on a point of order raised by Albert Davis, that there was nothing properly before the house. Mr.

Davis moved that the clerk be ordered to draw up a resolution authorizing the mayor and the city controller to prepare the required certificate. The resolution was made concurrent. Pending the submission of the certificate by the mayor, the ordinance will be held up on third reading in both branches. It is expected that by the next meeting the entire matter will be settled finally, and that $5,000 of the city's money will be at the disposal of the investigators. The school board has already appropriated $5,000, dependent upon a like appropriation by the city.

Engineers William T. Griffiths, of West PIttston and Eli T. Conner, of Philadelphia, who have been named especially to conduct the investigation and to make a report on conditions to the advisory board composed of some of the most eminent engineers in this country. Councils went as far as It could go last night in doing ita share towards Anally adopting the Dimmick plan for the protection of the surface over mine workings. The ordinance providing for the employment of two engineers to make a special investigation of underground conditions and to report these conditions to a committee of five experts was passed two readings in both branches of councils.

Pending the introduction of a certificate of emergency, which will place at the disposal of the investigation $3,000 as the city's share of $10,000, the ordinance was not passed on three readings. Then, too, there were only 21 votes In the lower branch last night, when three fourths of the members, of thirty votes, is necessary to pass such a measure on third reading. There seemed to be some little eon fusion in councils as to the manner in which the certificate of emergency was to come before the body. Selectman John E. Roche, of the Seventh ward, brought up the recommendation as approved by the select committee.

This assistant, County Detective M. A. Rafter, that the specimen ballots found in the ballot box of the Southwest district of Lackawanna township, were printed two days following the closing of the polls on June 4. Reports from out Minooka way are to the effect that the election officers and others interested in the outcome of the fight for the Republican nomination for representative have not yet returned from the trip taken following the expose of the frauds and the announcement that an investigation would take place. They are a very much worried lot of young men.

When the grand jury takes up the investigation, the district attorney's office, report has it, will be prepared to show not only that the 123 specimen ballots found in one baltbt box and returned as counted by the board, were printed subsequent to the holding of the primaries, but that many men whose names grace the voting list never went near the polls on June 4. Attaches of the district attorney's office have spent much time in Minooka and have unearthed, it is said, sufficient evidence to warrant indictments being returned against the election officers and others who are known to have been involved in the deal to rob A. F. Hobbs of the Republican nomination for representative and name John Connors, of Minooka, for the place. Though the court will order the investigation on Monday, it is doubtful if it will be reached before the latter part of the week, due to the two hundred or more transcripts, including two murder cases the killing of Fred Rocco, an alleged Black Hand agent, at Mayfield on May 23, by Dominick Colander, and the slaying of an Italian in West Scranton on the night of June 5, by Berne detti Tripodo.

that have to be considered. Colar ler and Tripodo are both in jail, 'i he double murder ar CARS TO r'OOSIG Lake by july 10 That Is the Expectation Now of the Officials of Scranton Railway Company. USE AUTOMATIC SIGNALS Except for the installing of the to taries necessary for the power installation, which will be placed about midway on the line, and the putting in of the numerous switches, the electriflcv tion of the Moosic lake line by the American Railways company Is complets. The work of stringing the wires was finished yesterday by the force of men under the direction of Ajidy Conlin, boss linesman of the company. The right to cross the mine tracks at the Drinker street terminal has also to be secured before the date for the opening of the line can be definitely announced.

Present indications are that the line will be ready by July 10. The company plans to use open cars of the 600 class and closed cars of the 300 class on the line, only using the latter when the weather is not suitabla for the others. At the start a twenty minute service will be maintained and the trip to the lake is expected to be made in 'one hour from the Central city. There is to be no transferring of passengers, the cars running from a terminal in the city direct to tha lake. AUTOMATIC SIGNALS.

One of the features of the new line is tbe automatic signal system, which is operated similar to the tower blocK system of the railroads. There will be no necessity for conductors to leav? the cars to turn the signals on or off, the lights being operated automatically when the cars reach a switch. The power will be secured from the Scranton Electric Light company. As Moosic lake is the only summer resort that the Scranton Railway company has exclusive control to on its entire system, every effort is to be made to make it very popular. It is being planned to boom the running of special cars from any place along the com pany's line to the lake.

BEAT THE TIME LIMIT. ContTn and his force completed lite work of wiring the road eight days inside the schedule, the time limit for this work having been placed at July 1. Seventy eight miles of wire were strung and 1,196 poles were planed in position. Conlin wins a new hat from General Manager Frank Caum for finishing the work ahead of the contrast time.

Thos. Kelly's Stores ii'l LACKAWANNA AV'K. AMI 1 It AN KLIN AVK. When the special grand jury empaneled to serve in court next week reports for work Monday morning, District Attorney Joseph O'Brien will formally request the court to direct the grand jury to conduct an investigation of the frauds alleged to have been perpetrated in the two election districts of Lackawanna township and the Third ward of Taylor, at the primaries held June 4. "The probe will be thorough and searching in character," Mr.

O'Brien told a Truth man today. "And if the results warrant it, steps will be taken to cause the arrest of those involved. From the evidence at hand," he continued, "I'm quite convinced that there was something decidedly wrong out in Minooka and down in Taylor on the day of the primaries yes, several days after the primaries." Mr. O'Brien was probably referring in the latter part of his statement to the discovery made by his NO LIGHT SHED ON THEMYSTERY Grewsome Find in the Mount Pleasant Mine Hint at a Tragedy. HOW DID HE MEET DEATH? Who he was and how he met his death are mysteries never likely to have a solution.

Not the slightest progress has been made by those investigating the finding of a skeleton in old workings of the Mount Pleasant mine of the Scranton Coal company in West Scranton. The finding of the remains was told of in the late editions of The Truth yesterday. David Williams in going through an old working stumbled upon something which upon investigation proved to be the bones of a man. There was not a trace of flesh upon them and their condition indicated that they have probably lain in the dark underground passage for some years. Are the bones all that remain of vtim to another's vengeance? are Questions being asked, but which no one ('an answer.
