Witnesses Show How Coal OPP
orators Took Advantage Of
Miners Weights.
DOCKING BOSS TEsTIFIEs
Companies Orders Were to Dock cer-
tain Percentage Whether the Coal
Was Clean or Dirty-17,133 Tons
Mined in One Year for Which Opera
tors Never Paid Cent.

Scranton, Dec. 12.-Calling of witt
neses for the miners was Immediately
resumed when the morning session Of
the strike commission opened. The
first witness was Edward Ridgeway,
formerly a company docking boss, In
the employ of the Temple Coal and Iron
Co. He said that he was member of
the union and did not know that It
was contrary to the rules for COM
pany docking boss to belong to the I'M
ion. He said that nine years ago he
was told by mine foreman he must
dock certain percentage, no matter
whether the coal was clean or full OF
dirt. This percentage ranged from
to per cent. After the Union had a
check docking boss appointed the per
centage fell TO 1 97-100 per cent.
John McGlone, check weighnlan for
the union,gave figures which showed
that the men at No. 5 colliery, Pennsyl-
vania Coal Company, mined 1913:
more tons of coal from April, 1901, to
April, 1902, than they had been paid
for. He explained this by saying there
was more than 2,240 pounds of clean
coal in a miners ton of 200 pounds
He gave figures to show the average
monthly wages of a miners laborei
was SPITE, and a miners wages SS4.77G6
The accuracy of his figures were Guess
toned by the company's Attorney

Mystery Surrounds Death.

New York, Dec 12.-Mystery sur
rounds the death of boy about 10
years old, whose body was found by a
policeman lying at one side of the
bicycle path in Central park, near
Eighty fifth street, and opposite the
workshop of the department of parks.
One peculiar feature of the case is
that costly silk muller was tied
about the boys neck. On the right
side of his face there was a lacerated
wound on the jaw, which bore the re-
semblance to the bite of some animal
On the right side of the little fellows
neck were several dark blush marks
and three others on the left side. Ow-
ing to the different opinions expressed
by the coroner and ambulance surgeon
regarding the wounds the police are
making an investigation.
Lying on his back, the boys head
rested on a bundle of newspapers. He
was to all appearances newsboy,
poorly clad and in poor physical con-
dition. In his pockets were found 21
pennies and three street car transfers.
An ambulance surgeon who examined
the body said the cause of the boys
death scould only be decided by an
autopsy, and he did not think the
wounds could have caused death.

GERMAN VIEW OF IT.
Berlin Government Thinks Castro Is
MAKING a Bluff.

Berlin, Dec. 12.-President Castro's
war preparations and public utterances
are regarded in official quarters here as
designed to see how far the allies are
willing to go, as a test of the further
attitude of the administration at Wash
ington, and, above all, an effort to
unite his own people and reconcile them
to his dictatorship
The foreign Office received cable
gram yesterday from the German
charge d'affaires. Herr Won Pilgrim
Ballazia, filed at LaGuayra This is a
sure indication. the foreign office
thinks, that the situation is not so tense
as the press kilograms represent 1t to
be. Regarding the reports that the
Germans wantonly destroyed venezue-
Ian vessels captured at LaGuayra, it is
said here, according to official advices
received. only one vessel was disabled,
none was sunk, and tnat the British
participated equally with the Germans
in the action taken. The marine minis
try is considering the immediate dis
patch of reinforcements. if it is neces-
sary, to occupy port The marines
will be sent. The navy departments
garrison defense has at its disposition
fifteen battalions of marines who are
serving on shore.

British Steamer Seized.

LaGuayra, Venezuela, Dec. 12.--Ac-
tual warfare has begun in Venezuela.
The Venezuelan authorities at Puerto
Cabello have seized British steamer,
and are fitting her out for immediate
action. All the British and German res
idents of that town have been arrested
and thrown into prison. and their prop
erty confiscated by the government.
The American consul at Puerto Cabello
attempted to intervene in behalf of the
prisoners, but he was disregarded. The
town is being fortified against an ex-
pected attack, which may occur at any
moment.
There was fighting in the streets here
Thursday between the Venezuelan
troops and the marines from the war
ships of the powers. The casualties are
not known.
Thursday the British and German
warships landed bluejackets for the
purpose of marching on Caracas and
capturing President Castro. They We're
met in the streets by General Ferrer's
troops and a hot engagement took
place. The marines have fortified
themselves in the houses of the city
and have sent word to their comman-
ders for relief
The fighting continues, tho at long
range. General Ferrer has announced
his intention of attacking the bluejack-
cts today. Unless the powers send re-
endorsements a sanguinary engagement
is bound to ensue.
1t is reported here that President
Castro has ordered large force of
troops to Puerto Cabello to assist in the
defense of that town. News of a con-
fiict at that point is momentarily ex-
pected.
