Mas Who Managed It. Robert Wilson, superintendent of the Municipal league of Scranton, Pa., is de scribed as the man behind the gun. Wil son, assisted by a private detective, brought from Scranton, gathered the evidence and says. the Voters' league la back of the prosecutions, and it is the intention to make Pittsburg as clean as Scranton la today.

Among the lawyers who ap proved the prosecution are: Thomas Patterson. J. Ross Sterrett, M. W. Ache son Jr., and David T. Watson, an attor ney of international fame.

SUSPECTS THOUGHT TO BE BUNKQ MEN xThe detectives are investigating the means of livelihood of James Gage and J. W. Stanley, two suave gentlemen who were arrested on Morrison utreet last evening. Stanley, an elderly man, had 175 in his pocket when searched. "What do you do for a living?" Gage was naked this morning. "Whatever I can find to do. I've just come from San Francisco,"- replied Oage, who the police have been led to believe Is a con fidence man. He was asked whether he would work-in a sewer and said that he would with pleasure, although his soft hands belied his words. Bail was fixed at $100 each, the case to be heard tomorrow.

As might be guessed, James Russell la the police station dog, the name having been se lected by the daughter of Matron Sim mons before the little terrier appeared. That Is why "Jimmy" bears a name un sulted to her sex. "Jimmy" filled all wants for a long time, but finally Miss Daisy Simmons decided she needed a vicious looking dog, so Sergeant Klenlin presented her today with Flfi, a pup of supposed Boston terrier blood. Flfi Just blinks her eyes, but James Russell Lowell, like the petted youngster- who finds a new baby in the house, resents the In trusion and maltreats the puppy when ever she gets a chance. perIesIs must bive bond Restaurant Men Fear a Bow " Demand Indemnity Sophs Under. Pledge. (SprcUl PUpttch to Tba Journal! Philadelphia, Dec. 23. Taught by costly experiences, managers of nearly all the downtown hotels and restaurants have refused to permit the freshman class of the University of Pennsylvania to hold its annual banquet on their premises. After making a round of the places where banquets have been held in for mer years, the committee in charge yes terday was forced to confess that they had failed to make definite arrange ments at any place. At the Rittenhouse, Boothby'a and the St. James the proprietors refused even to consider the students' proposi tion. The manager of the Continental hotel, where the freshman class held its banquet In 1907, Is understood to hav said he would take the banquet if the freshmen give bond for $1000 guaranty against damages. .Clarence Kugler, manager of Kugrler's restaurant, which was carried by storm by the sophomores last January, made another proposition. He said he would take the banquet If the freshman ban- ?uet committee would furnish a paper rom the undergraduate committee as suming responsibility for all damages. Sophs Pledged to Be Good. And all this, notwithstanding the fact that the undergraduate committee, con sisting of all the college class presidents and the editor in chief of the Pennsyl vanian, have ruled that the sophomores shall make no effort to kidnap the fresh man class officers, or attempt to break up the feast- The attitude of the hotel keepers Is ex plained by the experience of the last two years. In 1907 the supper was held at the Continental. The sophomores, after fallling to capture the freshman presi dent, Allan Smith, climbed the fire es cape in the rear of the hotel, on 8annom street, and gained entrance to the ban quet hall, where a sharp struggle fol lowed. The police were called in to put an end to the fight Last winter the strife between the classes was even more Severe. The ban quet was planned for Kugler's restau rant and on the morning of the day set freshmen succeeded in having their class picture taken. Immediately after ward the class president. Henry 8. Mus ser, was whisked away in an automobile nn4 tatron tn thn rent ml rant. Then he was secreted in the kitohen i during the entire arternoon. ine least was scheduled for 7 o'clock, but before that time the sophomores learned of It, and surrounded-the place. An attack was made from three directions. One party gained entrance by dropping from a window of the Land Title build Ins; to the roof of Kugler'a restaurant Another entered the place through the bar, and a third climbed the Sanson) street flreesoape. . Cornered rreshman ' rongat. Cornered, the freshman, fought, back the second year men until they had j been -driven from- the diningr room. A i riot call -was turned In and the DOllce I arrested four sophomores. Many of the i students had broken heads and blacked' eyes. The building was damaged to the extent of. 1700. To procure the release of the sopho mores collection committees went through the university, and sufficient money t was paid to reimburse the res taurant company. The notoriety spread ing from the riot resulted In strict measures betas- taken by the university authorities to prevent class fights at oanqueis in m future. ' J0HANNSEN DENIES . ZAP0RA WAS FINED ' (United Press Lu4 WHI . Tacoma. . Wash- Dec. 23. -Cantaln Johannsen of the fishing steamer 2a- lora,. wnicn - nas arrived at this port rom the fishing banks, emphatically denies the reports sent out from Van couver and Victoria to the effect that the Zanora was seis'd bv tbe natrol cruiser Kestrel for fishing within the three mile limit.-' The report stated thaf Captain Johannspn paid a fine ot $1600 before the. vessel was released. ' "It-is a beautiful falrv tale." savs Capaln Johannsn. "Wedld not see the Kestrel or any other craft wihtle we were fishing. ' Evidently It's another case of our British rf riends poking fun at us." The Zapora could not have spent much time paying fines, for site brought back one of the largest winter catchea of halibut on record. 125,000 pounds. STOLE SO HIS BEIDE , COULD BUY PRESENTS (Special Dtipttcb Ti Oxford, Pa., Dec 23. In order to pro vide hln bride of a week with money to buy Christmas presents, 18-year-old Walter Russell of Hopewell, according to the police, stole til from a poor laundress who had saved the money to pay taxes on the home which she and her old husband obtained after year of hard work, . - As a result, Russell and his wife are spending their honeymoon in jail, hav ing been taken there by Constable. Ver non Rlngler. . Russell, witnesses said, entered the house by breaking a window and took the money from a cupboard. Some one saw him going into the house and re ported it. Russell was arrested and after ' a "sweating" process It is said confesed to havlnar taken the naonev that his wife might buy Christmas presents.

A will disposing of 1250,000, burled In the bottom of a wasntuD, was aammea to prooaie to day by tho superior court. The will was made by Patrick Monahan, a whole sale grocer, who died September 29. It contains about 300 words' and leaves 19 specific bequests. Six of them 'are for 180.000 each to his brothers, there are 18 bequests to charity and one clause leaves the residue of the estate to his brothers. ' The will was written In 1902. Mona han told his brothers they would have to hunt for It, and never told them wnfere It was. From the time of his death until last week the search went on, until a servant happened to turn the tub upsldedown.

Light & Power company does not pave' Ha por tion of Belmont street with stone blocks it will be because tha courts decide that the city can not make the com Dan v put in material more expensive than that used in the rest of the street. The council by a vote of 7 to 4 sustained Mayor Lane's veto of the ordinance re scinding improvement proceedings on Belmont between Kast Fortieth and East Sixty-second streets. The contract has already been awarded .by the executive board, so the only recourse for the cor- fiorauon is tne law. and it is aouotrul f that will afford the railway any re lief. . The counsel also sustained the mayor's veto of two other ordinances. One of these authorized the executive board to pay the O. R. & N. $400 for a rignt or way for a sewer on the east side. Bakers firemen in the theatres ordinance failed to pass over the mayor's head. If Baker had been pres ent, however, his vote would have given the necessary two thirds, and the meas ure would have carried. Then the Trouble Began. From Leslie's Weekly. O'Flanagan came home one night with a deep band of black craps around his hat. "Why, Mike," exclaimed his wife, "what are you wearing that mournful thing for?" ... "I m wearing it for your first hus band," replied Mike, firmly. "I'm sorry he's dead." Don't Deliver Your Own Christmas presents. Have one of our bright, reliable, trusty messengers do it for you.
