Cheaper Meat in England.

London Graphic.
The Central News says it learns on au-
thority that the restriction on the i'm
portation of live stock from the Argentine
Republic, which has now been in force
for two years, is about to be removed
by His Majesty's Government, as the
authorities of the Argentine Republic
have now signihed their willingness to
enforce the regulations which were deem
ed necessary by the British Government
to prevent the importation of cattle suf-
fering from foot and mouth disease. As
the result of this action it is expected that
there will be an immediate fall in the
price of meat, as the high prices now
ruling are largely due to the absence of
Argentine competition with the United
States markets. There are at the present
moment 5000, 900 cattle and $4,000 900 sheep

SEMBRICH IS DELIGHTED.
Very Anxious to Give Her First Con-
cert Here.

When Maurice Grau. manager of the
Metropolitan Opera house told Nine.
Sembrch that her first American ap-
pearance for the season of 1923 had
been arranged for at Scranton, Pa, he
was somewhat dubious as to the man
ner in which she would receive the in
formation as all the larger cities of the
country We're clamorous for song re-
cital by this great artist and she would
only consent to ten recitals for the sea-
son. But Sembrich who is very demon
strative, clapped her hands in delight
and said:
"Oh, that is beautiful! I have heard
much of Scranton and the great appre-
citation the people there have for music,
and where the men who toll in the, coal
mines have such love for music that
they have societies for the study of
the grand oratorio choruses of the
great masters. I will be glad to sing
to them for they, like me, have the
grand passion for the divine art. And
yet l have still more interest in Scran-
ton-if am permitted to do so / want
to see the wonderful college of cores
pondence that l have read and heard so
much about, it is so American, so diff
ferent from the universities of Europe
for the students do not go to the school
but remain in their own homes to study
the lessons that are sent to them, and
then they work the answers and send
them to the school at Scranton.
II hope may visit this great school
as we'll as other points of interest when
| go to Scranton, my first recital being
given there I expect to spend two or
three days in this interesting city,"

A UNIQUE CASE.
Effort Made to Have Musician D. U
Reese Released from Service in
Thirteenth Regiment.

A case absolutely unique in the his
tory of the courts of this country was
begun yesterday by Attorney Charles
w. Dawson who applied for a writ of
habeas corpus to show cause why
David w. Reese should not be released
from service in the Thirteenth reg-
ment
Reese is a letter carrier, cornet
player in the resimental band and
consequently an enlisted member of the
Thirteenth regiment, which ne Joined
in March, 1901. When the regiment
was called out last week he failed to
report for duty. A detail of men from
Company II, of which he is a member
came to this city on Saturday and
placed him under military arrest, talk
ing him to the camp at Olyphant where
he has since been confined.
The writ of habeas corpus asked for
by Attorney Dawson was granted
against Marcus Bailey, member of
the squad which arrested Reese; Cap
tain John r. Huff, of Company II and
Colonel l.. A. Watres, commander of
the Thirteenth regiment A hearing
will be held this afternoon before Judge
Newcomb when Attorney Dawson Will
appear FOR Reese ana j. w. oahiolu
for the respondents.
The claim made on behalf of Reese is
that he cannot be compelled to serve
as member of militia organization
because of the fact that he Is an en-
ploye of the United States government
acting as a collector and distributor OF
United States mail. AS far as can be
learned such case was never before
brought to the attention OF a court or
Justice in this country.

STORY OF THE CAPTURE
How James Winston's Murderers
Were Notwithstanding for
Their Extradition.

To T. 3. McAvoy, travelling car agent
of the Lackawanna railroad, belongs
the credit and reward for the identifi-
cation, arrest and detention at Hobo
ken of the five men charged with the
murder of James Winston, at Grassy
Island. on Thursday last
McAvoy was on train No. 26, which
left Scranton at $50 o'clock Saturday
morning. He had just finished reading
in The Tribune a description Of the
men wanted, when the train reached
Moscow, where he alighted to file
telegram.
He came face to face with the men
and recognized them from the printed
description. After they boarded the
train, McAvoy communicated with
Conductor John Law, and they guarded
the car at each end until the train
reached Bergen Junction.
Meantime message was sent to
Chief Special Agent Beatty. of the
Lackawanna railroad, at Hoboken, who
boarded the train at Bergen Junction
with several of his men, and placed the
passengers wanted under arrest
Sheriff Schadt was then commune
Gated with, and sent one of his men
down to identify them.
They were found to be the proper
parties, but to make the identification
positive, S. j. Lewis, son-in-law of the
murdered man, who was with him at
the outset of the assault, and who,
himself, was badly beaten, was sent to
HOboken and yesterday recognized the
men as the fugitive murderers.
The prisoners attempted to secure
their release by habeas corpus proceed
ings, yesterday To intercept this,
Sheriff Schadt went to Hoboken and
had them formally arrested for murder.
They were held without bail to await
requisition papers. Attorneys Joseph
O'Brien and r. J. Murray represented
the commonwealth.
District AttornNy w. r. Lewis and
Attorney NJ. j. Martin yesterday pre-
pared requisition papers and sent
County Detective Phillips to Harris
burg to arrange for the eXtradition of
the prisoners. He will be in Trenton
tomorrow to present the papers to Gov
ernor Voorhees,.

MANY SCHOOLS MAY
HAVE TO CLOSE SOON
President Gibbons Admits That the
Scarcity of Coal May Bring About
This Result Shortly.

The coal question. as applied to the
public schools of this city, is rapidly
becoming serious. President Gibbons,
of the board of control, admitted last
night that he thought it would be nee
essary to close Il number of the schools
in the course of a week or two,
1.-The supply of coal at u number of
the schools won't last more than a
week." said he, land when it is en-
hausted it looks as If we would have to
shut them down, No. II, In my ward,
had to be shut down during part of
two days last week, because of our In
ability to heat the building. The warm
weather we are having now won't last
much longer, and there is no coal in
sight"
President Gibbons said that he has
received no answer as yet from District
President Nichols in response to his re-
quest for conference between the dis
trict executive board and the special
committee from the school board. He
seems confident, however, that the ex-
ecutive board will agree to hold such a
conference. AS to the possibility of the
granting of permission to his brother,
Michael, to resume work at his mines
to supply coal for the district, he ex-
pressed no opinion,
Some OF the members of the school
board favor the idea of making an ef-
fort to secure coal from some of the
large coal companies at figure that
would be not exorbitant providing the
district board will not agree to a re-
sumption of work at the Gibbons mine
The feeling among other of the mem-
bers in opposition to non-union coal is
also strong, so that 1t is difficult to
foresee the final outcome of the situ-
alton.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-09-30

Three of the above workers advanced
in consequence. William Sherwood
passed Albert Freedman and holds sixth
place by points. Miss Coleman passed
Lee Culver and A. l.. Clark and goes to
twenty fifth position. She needs but
points now to go two places higher.

thirty-three, having passed Harry Dam
vers and taken his place at the foot OF
the table. Mr.. Thayer is tied with
Eddie Morris for thirty second place.
Harry Madden, although on duty with
the Thirteenth regiment at Olyphant,
has not relaxed his efforts to win
high place in the contest. He, on the
contrary, is using his utmost endeavors
with his comrades and is meeting with
great encouragement.
