italian Police Capture Tons of Blood
Curdling Literature.
Rome, January "a general raid of
the anarchist haunts yesterday morning
by the police of this city and the large
provincial towns was productive of very
good results. About 10000 copies of
manifestoes couched in the usual wild
language of the anarchists were seized.
The authorities got possession of list
referring to quantity of fire arms which
the police could not find. The search
has not been abandoned and every effort
is being made to discover the place in
which the firearms are secreted. Other
lists were found giving a complete record
of the recent bomb outrages in Rome,
and specifying intended outrages in
future. The localities in which the
outrages were to have been perpetrated are
specified with much particularly. f
The agitation in the province of Bari
has become worse, and it will require
strong measures to put down the disor-
derly element. In the city Of Bari a large
band of rioters today attempted to set
fire to the municipal building, but were
frustrated in the attempt by the police.
The mob then turned their attention
to the tram lines, attempting to tear
up the rails. A strong body of troops
dispersed the mob. Signor Gregorio
Agnini and DR.. Camille Prampolini,
socialist members of the Chamber Of
Deputies, landed at Palermo today,
where they were met by the police and
ordered to quite Sicily without delay.
Letters from Castle Vetrano, Sicily
say that order has been restored there,
but at terrible cost. The troops literally
bonn barded the town. Dozens were
killed and scores wounded. Five hun
dred persons are in prison awaiting
trial by military tribunals.

A Voice Against Dago Labor on the watel


A Voice Against DaRo Labor on the Water
Works.
EDITOR HERALD Il see the contractor
who is building the water works has
started to dig trenches and lay pipes on
the men who were early on the grounds
this morning, thinking, perhaps, l could
get a job, but soon found out that only
dagos could apply. Now is this not a bad
breach of faith on the part of our COun-
cilmen? At the time that they were so
crazy to get the special election for water
works carried these Councilmen promised
faithfully that when the time would come
to do the work in town the citizens and
taxpayers would be given the preference,
but when | applied this morning l was
told there was no work. All along the
trench there We're men in need of work,
but the dagos shut them out. When the
special election was held the working
time was pretty fair, but now, in these
hard times, public water works are being
built in the town and a citizen out of
work cannot even get job as water
carrier.
am about disgusted with this wat r
business. This last blow is not the fir t
promise broken, but it is the worst in its
effect. Just at the time when the town
authorities should do something to relieve
| the distressed people we find them flood
| ing the town with dagos to build the
public water works. The works We're au-
thorized by a public meeting of the
citizens. Now ! suggest that a public
meeting be held again and that the
| Councilmen be made to live up to their
promises and give the hundreds of people
| who are almost starving chance to work
on the public water works. 1t is a disgrace
to the town and every workingman and
business man should raise his voice
| against it,
| noticed by the HERALD few nights
| ago that several Councilmen made a big
splurge about the disgrace that would
| fall on Shenandoah by paying workmel
only Sl,25 day Now l would like tc
| know how these Councilmen feel on the
water works. Why are the dagos giyeI
work in preference to citizens and tax
] payers and how much a day are the dagos
| getting for building the water works foI
the borough These are fair and square
questions and ] would like to hear some
thing about them.

WAS ALMOST A RIOT F!
Sport by Boys Lead to a
Serious Alteration.
ONE WAS MALTRfATfD
He Was Kicked by One Hungarian and
Struck with Stone From the Hands Of
Another other Men ESpoused the
Cause of the hoy.

Saturday, pay day at the collieries Of
the Philadelphia and Reading collieries,
brought out the usual quota of cases to
be tried by the Justices of the Peace and
Chief Burgess and as a result the borough
treasury received replenishment and a
number of cases were put down for a
trial at the next term Of Criminal court.
The first case arose out of what almost
proved to be riot at the West Shenan-
doah colliery. While number of men
stood at the pay Office of the colliery,
waiting for their money, some boys in.
dulged in u now-balling combat. One of
these boys was Thomas Dooling, fourteen
years of age.
Young Dooliug's supply of snow ran out
and he stopped at the feet of Stiney Tupo-
llski, one of the men waiting for their
wages, to gather more snow. AS he did
so Tupoliski is alleged to have Knocked
him to the ground by kick in the side.
Before Dooling could get on mis- feet again
one Charles Sudnick is alleged to have
struck the boy on the ear with a stone.
Other miners standing in line resented
the attack upon the boy and for a while
it seemed that general fight was immi-
nent, but the GOODNESS and determination
Of the colliery officials restored order
L
and his mother caused Justice Williams
to issue q warrant for Sudnick's arrest.
The warrant was executed and the &C
cused man was put under 5000 bail for
trial at court
Siney Tupoliski was so boisterous at
the Colliery that Councilman Gable, who
is outside foreman at the mine took him
in charge and Stiney was obliged to pay a
fine of five dollars and costs. ai-
While SudniCk was having a hearing
before Justice Williams one Mike Alabus-
tbs made himself very ofiicious and
attempted to dictate the law to the
Justice. The latter's patience was sorely
tried by the mans action and as he per
sisted in his uncalled conduct Alabustis
was called to the front to explain his
action. AS the man stepped forward the
Justice recognized him as man who had
been fugitive since December 25th, inst.
Justice Williams commenced a search of
his desk and pulled out an old warrant.
Policeman Dougherty was told to take
charge of Alabustis until 5000 bail was
furnished for hearing tonight.
Last Christmas Day Alabustis, who
was special officer on the staff of the
Chief Burgess, arrested one Joseph Stone
and others for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct Stone and his friends paid their
fines and costs under protest and then
caused a warrant to be issued for Alabus-
tis' arrest, claiming false imprisonment.
As soon as the latter heard he was wanted
he left the town and was not heard of
again until he interfered in the proceed
ings at Justice Williams office The men
who charge Alabustis say that the special
officer was intoxicated when he arrested
them and he caused them to be put in the
lookup without a warrant or other due
authority of the law.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Two Unknown Men BrutalIy Assault and
Rob Hungarian.


At about II o'clock on Saturday night,
while Michael Sweda, n Hungarian, ap-
preached the Philadelphia & Reading
passenger depot on East Centre street, on
his way home, an unknown man accosted
him. At the same time another unknown
man approached from behind, punched
him in the face and drew al sharp knife
across his forehead and jaw, lnhicting an
ugly cash.
The two men then plunged their hands
into Sweda's pockets and took $3.50. They
tried to take a watch, but Sweda, who
had retained his pres nee OF mind, made
n desperate resistance and eventually
succeeded in driving of his assailants and
retaining the watch. He then went to
Justice TOomey's office and made com
plant, but as he could not sufficiently
describe the highwaymen no warrant was
issued.
Sweda says his assailants looked like
Americans and spoke in English during
the struggle. He was blinded by the
blood that flowed from his wound and on
that account he cannot give a very good
description of the men, but thinks he will
know them if he sees them again,

Broke Into the Glassblowers
Place of Exhibition.
VALUABLE GASES STOLEN
The Thief Made Dash For Liberty While
ON the way to the Lookup and Escaped
stIll at Large-A Highway Robbery on
Centre Street.

John Prosser, Jr., young man cf town
of very unsavory reputation, committed
one of the coolest and most bold robberies
attempted in this town for some timeon
Saturday night and supplemented it with
making bold and successful dash for
liberty after having a hearing and while
on the way to the lookup.
The Everett glassblowerss gave an ex-
hibition in the store room at 2S North
Main street, Saturday evening, and closed
the doors shortly after 10 o'clock. About
an hour later Prosser happened along aud
seeing some nice glasswork in one OF the
show windows and no one in the place he
concluded to make a haul.
Prosser broke the glass of the window
and succeeded in pulling out a small but
very valuable glass case. Two other cases
were out of reach but, undaunted, he
succeeded in fishing them into reach with
broom borrowed from the barber shop
next door Prosser then made off with
the three cases, but the borrowing of the
broom furnished n clue and the thief was
soon under arrest.
After a hearing before a justice, Prosser
was committed in default Of $500 bail
and he started for the lookup in the
custody of a special officer. Prosser took
his arrest with so much Indifference and
chatted so pleasantly with the officer that
the latter did not dream of an escape,
but at a convenient corner the young
scapegoat giided away and was soon lost
to view.
Manager Austin, of the glassblowers,
worked hard all of yesterday and to-day
trying to get a clue to Prosser or the
stolen cases, but failed. He said the cases
were worth S25. They contained some
very fine specimens of the skill of expert
glassblowers.
Prosser is out OF Jail but short time,
after serving Imprisonment for beating
his mother. 1t was said he had been seen
on the mountain northeast of town, but
a visit there to-day was fruitless

Many Prominent People.

""hI NANAHt
Special to the HERALD.
PoTTsvILLE, April 16.-Forty-one resi-
dents of Shenandoah and neighboring
towns were brought down to this place on
Saturday to make answer to suits brought
against them by Rush. West & Co.. q
publishing company of Philadelphia.
Among the people sued were Superin-
tendent William II. Lewis, OF VIM Penn 4;
NJ. p Whitaker, superintendent of public
schools at Shenandoah Elmer E. John
son, the druggist at Lost Creek; John T.
Davis, mine foreman at Gilberton, and
James iBankes, a well-to-do resident of
Rngtown. Daniel Shepp, of Tamaqua,
was also summoned
Some months ago the publishing com
pany sent agents through Schuylkill
county, taking orders for a history of the
county, which was to embrace the biog-
raphies and in some cases the photo
graphs OF all the prominent citizens es-
pecially of the subscribers to the work.
In due time the book was finished and
payment 1915 each) demanded, but the
people above-named refused to accept the
work, claiming it was not according to
contract. This was the general answer to
all the suits, but several of the parties
had other grounds of defense.
The suits were tried before a Justice
mere ana ne rendered Judgment Tor Uhe
plaintiff in all but three of the cases.
In the suits of Messrs. Lewis and Shepp
the justice reserved his decision. Mr..
Lewis says he paid S25 for the book, ac-
cording to contract, but the agent wanted
him to pay fifteen dollars additional.
James Bankes won his case. He showed
by the evidence of the company's agents
that his biography was taken, but never
incorporated in the book. One of 1.-THE
agents said the biography had been lost.
The defendants in the forty cases in
which judgment was rendered have com
bined their forces and to-day engaged
counsel to appeal to court from the
Justices decision. They admit they signed
a contract for the book, but claim the
work is not according to the contract.
They say there are many gross errors in
the biographies, especially as to dates of
births, marriages and deaths and on that
account the book is practically worthless.
The defendants also claim that the
work is additionally worthless by reason
of gross inaccuracies in the historical com
pilation Among the inaccuracies cited
is statement that man who came to
this country in 1890 took an active part in
the revolutionary war.
