ST SIEJUGATED 4 YEAR LATEk

The Polish people of Scranton con-
Quoted an elaborate celebration at Mu-
sic hall last night in commemoration
If the one hundred and fifth anniver-
sary of the independence of their native
country. The assembling at the hall
was preceded by parade. which
formed At 80 at St. Mary's church on
Prospect avenue. and marched TO the
central city. There were fourteen So
Cieties, or about 1000 men in line. Three
bands furnished the music Hon. John
T.. Barrett editor uf the Scranton Truth.
and Attorney N. A. Mckinley delivered
addresses.
After the EXERCISES were over in Mu-
sic hall. a resolution was read and was
unanimously adopted calling to ac-
count Congressman Johnson, of Cali
fornia. and Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, for statements made by these
gentlemen recently i'm congress reflect
ing on the Polish people. The resolu
tion sets forth that Messrs, Johnson
and Lodge are talking without knowing
the facts, or else they would not COM
nit themselves as they did. 1t appears
that both of them made an allusion,
designed to represent the Polish as an
ignorant and lawless people. The
Poles feel that they should not be held
the SlaV0nlans, R0heNians and others
who are confused with the Polish peo-
pie.
Last night wherever there was rep
resentation of the Polish people in the
United states. a celebration was held
| and similar resolution was adopted.
The one adopted here will be placed in
the hands of Congressman J. \. Scran-
| ton and Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
to be presented to the gentlemen for
whom they are meant. In other states
| the resolutions adopted will reach
Messrs. Johnson and Lodge in u similar
| manner.
