iquarters and later upon Chief
Massey. He therefore showed the
revolver which was furnished him
upon arrival here last evening.
& The men came from the Standard
Detective Agency, Philadelphia.
None of them are machinists.
Their instructions according to the
II Statements OF the two men who
were at police headquarters were
to shoot down all persons who in
teriered with them.
b According to Bunting they were
to receive SIS week and their eX-
pensos. He arrived here yester.
N day afternoon and was given the
revolver. The instructions were to
(. shoot down the machnsts If they
attempted to modest them. After
considering the matter thoroughly
he decided that he could not stay
here under the circumstances. Ac.
cordingly he called at this head
quarters of the machinlsts and was
then taken to the city hall where
h, exhibited the revolver to Chief
Massey and later to Commissioner
CIaikson. He left tor Philadelphia
o. the 10 clock train. About |
O'Clock this morning Elwood Tru-
man found Charles Berks at the
p, W. & & depot under the intlu-
ence oil liquor and acting in an in
decent manner. He placed him
under arrest and IN the city court
this morning he was fined S aud
costs lie told Judge Churchman
that he was 4 detective sent here
IRON the Standard Detective
Agency Of Philadelphia, to work IN
the Harlan aud Ho!linssworth
Company's shops. A pretty speci-
men indeed 10 import into Della
ware to carry arms without right
to shoot down law abiding cltl-
zens. The fact OF his arrest for
drunkenness was telegraphed to the
Detective Agency.
If the man fine and costs are
: not paid by the Agency the machin-
lists will see that he does not 90 to
jail although that would be the
proper place for a man Of his CALI
bre.
Indignation is found every where
that Delaware should be invaded
by gang OF irresponsible people
and who are arme / without hAv ng
any right They are not citizens Of
the State and therefore cannot be
commissioned as special officers OF
the law are entitled to carry arms
In Delaware.
Every where one turned today the
expression was heard that Chief
Massey should exercise his right TO
arrest these men as soon Is they
appear on the streets. One OF the
Wilmington police arrested man
or Wednesday because he cursed
the police Tor gong INTO yards OF
: the Harlan and llolI gsworth com
pany. 1t is now known fact tn at
these men imported from phlladel-
phIa have revolycrs in their possess
sion. The same officer who could
not stand the severe criticism
should exert himself TO find all ar
med detective who has murder in
his heart. The machrniats are or
DERBY. Not a drunken man has
been seen on the streets. Not one
oil them have Intcrtcrcd n the
slightest manner with any one.
They are law abiding citizens.
None of them are armed. They
have no need Tor firearms. The
insult to peace, order, good citizen
ship by permitting armed thugs
10 invade the city must be resented
by the authorities.
They cannot afford 10 allow such
bga2en conduct to take place.
Sho"Id the Philadelphia men con,
ti9uc to remain here they will not
lacYe the works. Their meals Will be
Supplied to them and they will be
practically prisoners. They are Of
no benefit 10 the works and are a
factor in creating sympathy Tor the
maChinists.
These men here under arm~ were
some OF the men IN the famous
Homestead strike.
