The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-19

on Saturday President Mckinley
sent the name of T. V. Powderly, of
this city, to the senate as his choice
for the Office of commissioner general
of immigration.
This Is one of the most important
Offices in the gift of the president, as
the proper administration of the i'm
migrant laws means much to the
American workingmen. The strict en-
forcement of these laws will keep out
a large number of undesirable immi-
grants that have been coming in dur
ing the past years and it was for this
reason that Mr.. Powderly, who is ex-
master workman of the knights of La.
Dor, was selected for the place.
Mr.. Powderly was strongly indoIsed
for the place, and although he had
some persistent competitors, 1t was
believed all along that President Nc
Kinley desired to appoint him. He
did not have the Endorsement of Sena-
tors Quay and Penrose, as they were
on the papers Of NJ. ]. Deily, Of Phila-
delphia, who was an applicant for the
same place.
Both senators stated Saturday after
noon that they were altogether salts
| fled with Mr.. Powderly's nomination.
and there would be no doubt about
his being confirmed. The senate COM
mittee on immigration will report Mr..
| Powderlys nomination probably at
the next executive session. The salary
of the commissioner-gen is $4,000
a year.
When a Tribune reporter called at
| Mr.. Powderly's home on North Main
avenue yesterday he was Informed
that Mr.. Powderly was in Washington.
His appointment, If confirmed by the
senate as seems probably, will make
it necessary for Mr.. Powdery to spend
the greater part of his time in Wash
ington. His office will be in the treas
ury building.
Mr.. Powderly will succeed Herman
Stump, of Maryland, who has been the
commissioner general of immigration
for some years past

night.
Frank Smith, Joseph Denlina and
George Pavltch, all residents of West
Pittston, We're returning about o'clock
from the Italian picnic which had been
in progress for two days at the grove
near the Boston breaker. Near Jones'
POOL room Pavitch insulted Smith in
some manner and the latter retorted
with a blow of his fist. Pavitch whip
ped out a revolver in a flash and fired
four shots in quick succession.
Smith fell with mortal wound in
the head. Denlina received a ball in
the left cheek just under the eye. Pa

UP Charles street and made good his
escape. Up to a late hour he had not
been captured.

them. Smith was alive at midnight
but it is not thought possible for him
to live,
