they secured tho location of the insti-
tuition at this place. The solitary main
building OF 1875 has now twelve othera
near by. and the thirteenth. a library
Is now In course OF construction. When
completed 1t will be the fourteenth
building on the university campus.

OF silver and gold are displayed in the
windows Of the business houses and
from the tops OF flag poles.
The celebration opened to-day with
exercises under the auspices of the

Scranton, Pa. Nov. 17.-In the pres
ence OF as many persons as could be
jammed into the superior court room
to-day. Wayne MacVeagh. for the Erie
company. and John Mitchell. for the
miners, continued their brilliant battle
OF ross-examination before the an
thracite coal commission. The two
men. the one In his thirties and the
other in his seventies. were followed
with intense interest by both COM
missioners and the crowd throughout
the day. and the contest will be re-
sumed In the morning.
The fourth demand of the union,
whicn calls for u yearly trade agree
ment and which means straight-out
recognition OF the union. was the bone
of contention, and although four hours
were taken up In a discussion of the
question. not much material progress
was made. Wayne MncVeagh. skilled
In the art OF cross examination. at
tempted TO show the utter irresponsi-
biliry OF the union and Its uniitness to
make contracts which II could not live
up to. His principal argument was the
alleged boycott. and he often hard
pressed the miners president for an
answer. The latter. however. slowly
and deliberately gave some reply. but IL
did not always satisfy his inqulsitor.
MIR. MacVeagh. In the presence OF
the assembly. expressed his admiration
OF the ability OF the witness. and on
one occasion. when Mr.. Mitchell par
rIed n question regarding the boycott
ting OF coal and iron policeman by n
hotel keeper. the distinguished attor.
ney threw up his hands. laughed. and
said:
MIR. Mitchell. you are the best wit
ness for yourself | ever confronted"
MIR. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
what he said was n reign OF terror in
the anthracite region during the period
OF the strike. He read a list of four
teen names of men who were killed
during that time. and also submitted In
evidence about seyeniy-iye printed
pages OF acts OF alleged violence. boy
colt and intimidation. and with the
assistance OF statistics and other docu-
ments maintained that IL would be ut
tcriy impracticabie for the coal COM
panics he represents to enter into an

MITCHELL AND MAC VEAGH
HAVE CONTEST OF WITS

Mr.. Mitchell stcutly maintained that
the discipline in the organization Is q;
good as II possibly could be where lf,-
900 men are involved. He claimed that
the strikers were not entirely respons-
ibie for the acts of lawlessness that
were committed. He regretted that
members of the union had In some in
stances violated the law, even after
they had been warned to refrain from
doing so. but made the excuse that In
times of great excitement there WAS
more or less disorder.
Mr.. Mitchell. after further questions.
said that any man who would use dyn-
amite for the purpose OF destroying
property ought to be sent to the peni-
tentiary, no matter whether he wns n
union or non-union man, an operator
or anybody else. He said a miner was
well versed in the use of dynamite
and knew when It could be exploded
without injury.
1T is n peculiar thing" said he,
that no one was hurt. no building
blown up. The miners. II they want
ed to blow up property, knew how to
do IT."
The investigation Is dragging too
slowly to suit the commissioners. and
II is likely the commission will prob
ably tomorrow ask both parties TO
agree upon some arrangement for eS-
peditinE the Investigation. Mr.. Nit
cheli has now been on the stand for

sion tonight. They have asked the

OF the non-union men growing out OF
