SPEAK-EASY VICTIMS.
Police Work in This Direction Rather Slow
Allegheny Gets Ahead With Four
Raids-PIttsburg Goes Dry and Only One
Place Found Running.

Police Work in This Direction Rather Slow
Allegheny Gets Ahead With Four
Raids-Pittsburg Goes Dry and Only One
Place Found Running.
Allegheny got ahead of Pittsburg yester-
day in speak-easy raids. But business in
this line was very slow on both sides of the
river, the two cities furnishing but five al
together This was considered rather sur
prising, as it was expected the warm weather
would act as a stimulant to illegal liquor
sellers The only explanation for the dearth
of raids in Pittsburg is the fact that a large
proportion of the old-timers in the speak
easy line are serving time in the work
house. OF late the police have made it a
special point to keep these people behind
the bars.
Lieutenant of Police McKelvey, of Allie
gheny, raided three speak-easies yesterday.
The first was at noon, in No. CHARTERS
street, occupied by Mrs Margaret Martin.
The officers got Mrs Martin and seven men
in the place. No evidences of liquor could
be found until waterv substance was seen
running out of the stove in the kitchen,
and on opening the door two bottles of
whisky and several of beer were found in
it, where they had evidently been placed in
hurry and where one of the bottles had
burst.
Another place closed was that of Charles
Messpley, at No. - Benton street, who is
- known by the sobriquet of ''Circus Char
ley" He keeps little cigar
store ard sells soft drinks, but the
officers allege he has been selling
a sluggish drink known as 'swankey," a
half-breed beer. Messplev is said TO be a
Prohibitionist and temperance worker.
He was arrested, however, for selling
''swankey" some six months ago by Lieu
tenant McKelvey. Six men found in his
store were sent with him TO the lookup.
Later in the dav the Lieutenant raided
the house of Mrs. Mary Murphy, at No 100
Wilkens street. Five men were found in
the house, lined up against bar that was
once popular one before the Judges of the
Quarter Sessions Court refused Mrs Muir
ply License. Beer and whisky both were
found behind the bar All of the customers
were locked up with Mrs Murphy as well.
In addition to these raids Officers Miller
and Shaw broke up little bottle party yes
terday afternoon in z ward on West Dla-
mond street. William Lane, Fred Foster,
William Shaw and John Anderson had a
bottle between them and were passing it
around when the officers took them in for
violating a city ordinance.
Altogether there were 81 prisoners taken
TO the Allegheny lookup yesterday between
10 o'clock in the morning and midnight, a
larger number than on any day except one
since Superintendent Muth assumed the
duties of his Office.
Only one place was pulled in Pittsburg.
Lieutenant Lewis raided the house of j. J.
Welsh, No. 1922 Penn avenue, yesterday
afternoon. Seven persons including the
proprietor, were arrested and sent to the
Twelfth ward police station.

CANNOT BE sEcTARIAN.
Pupils of the Public Schools Have to BE Ad-
mitted Free to the Exposition.

Pupils of the Public Schools Have to BE Ad-
mitted Free to the Exposition.
The following on a postal card was re-
ceived by The DISPATCH yesterday:
DEAR DIsPATcH-Please tell me- why the
Expo. management does not want Roman
Catholic patronage. My children feel very
blue when the public schools Iget free
tickets and the Catholic schools are ignored.
A very good way to keep Catholics away.
A call was made on Manager Johnston
yesterday. Upon being shown the card he
said "Why, this is nonsense! We simply
follow out the provisions of our charter,
which stipulates that the children of the
public schools of Pittsburg and Allegheny
be admitted. We cannot afford to be Sec
tartan If the Catholic schools were granted
the privilege then all other private schools
would demand the same for them. WE
don't ask anyone what their religion( is
when they come here. 1t is business
transaction, and is treated as such, and
nothing further is thought ofit.''

A Case Calling for Charifx-

Eddie Cunningham, aged II, was an in
mate of the Twenty-eighth ward station
last night. Yesterday afternoon Special
Officer Carrigan found him on Carson street.
The lad was weeping bitterly and said he
had no home and no place to go, as both his
parents were dead. Officer Carrigan took
charge of the boy, and after giving him a
good meal, made him as comfortable as the
circumstances would permit. The case will
be turned over to Agent Dean.

them, when one hurled brick at him and
all ran. The officer commanded them to
stop, but they scrambled over a fence and
gained the street. He then fired three shots
after them, but failed TO capture any of the
men, as they took to the West Penn Rail-
road yards and hid among the cars.
Mr.. Hogg's premises were examined, but
no evidences that the men had been trying
TO get into the house could be found.

SENSATIONS LOOKED FOR
In the Report of the Investigation at the
County Jail.

In the Report of the Investigation at the
County Jail.
The police got no news of Fitzsimmons,
the Jail breaker, yesterday. Several good
clews have turned up and are being care
fully followed, but as yet they have de-
veloped nothing. The Quarterly Commit
tee of the Prison Board has one or
two days more work before it
in its investigation at the Jail. Work will
be started at 9 o'clock this morning. Just
when the committee will be able to make
its report is not yet settled. A vast amount
of testimony has been taken and considera-
BILE time will be required to get it in shape.
1t is said several sensational circumstances
have developed during the investigation
and the report promises to make interesting
reading. But the committeeman positively
refuse to reveal any of their secrets until
after the report is presented. All state
ments as to the facts revealed are simply
speculations.
The following copy of circular request
ing the apprehension of two escaped crimi-
nails is at this time interesting, and shows
how Fitzsimmons has been eclipsed in the
ijail-breaking line. The circular is dated
September II:

The Position of Labor and Capital.

Rev. o. A. Emerson preached an in
structive sermon last evening at the Centen-
ary NJ. E. Church on Labor and Capital. 1"
The reverend preacher took the general
view that any success on the part of either
the &orkingman or millionaire in life
should have foundation on righteousness,
and that neither brains, ability nor capital
would ultimately avail if this was absent.
He looked to education to tide over the
bridge which now separated labor from
capital, and he expected that the training
the children of this generation were receiv-
ing would effect means for harmonizing
the chords of future struggles between the
two fires.

Crownles, Hats at Half Price.

Two little newsies were standing before
one of the large Penn avenue millinery

LocKroRT, N. Y, July 1S.-saturday
the opinion Of United States Judge
Kicks, Of Cleveland, on the latest phase
Of the aluminium litigation was received
here. In this opinion the Judge gives
his reasons for refusing for a second
time the application Of the Pittsburgh
Reduction Company for an injunction
to restrain the Cowles Electric Smelling
and Aluminium Company from making
pure aluminium at its Lockport
works and to this extent is regarded as
victory for the Cowles Company. To-
day United States Judge Swan, OF De-
troit, extended the time for taking the
Cowles testimony for the final hearing
sixty days, on the ground that the case
involved some OF the most important is
sues that have ever come up in vacant
case in the Western courts. These de-
cisions are in the case Of the Plttsburg
Company against, the Cowles Company.
The suit Of the latter company against
the former really involves the absolute
monopoly OF the aluminium business.

by the Department Of State.
Mr.. Wharton, acting Secretary of
State, regards the story as pure in
yention and says there Is no reason to
believe any such condition of affairs
exists in Hayti.
Minister douglass, when shown the
telegram tonight, said there was no
truth in it so far as he knew. He had
received no intimation either in Hayti
or here that the Haytian government
wished to break off all intercourse with
the United States, or was dissatisfied
with him Us minister.
Mr.. Douglass, continuing, said: "If
such had been the feeling, there is no
doubt but that / would have heard OF it
before leaving, either directly or indi-
rectly. You may say that do not
think there is any danger Of sacrificing
official intercourse with Hayti."
Mr.. Douglass added that when he got
ready to resign he would say so without
ceremony,

sT. LOUIS, No., July 10. The strike at
the Neidringhaus rollinf mill is as far
from settlement as on the first day.
The trouble was originally caused by
the men trying to enforce an associas
ton rule which provides that tie
rollers shall pay their own shearers.
The Neidrtnghaus Brothers declined 10
allow that to be done. Now the firm
have decided to pay Pittsburgh prices
and employ all comers, giving the
preference to employees who wish to-
return and Wilt enter into a three
years contract with any one who de-
sires to come from Pittsburgh.
