CHIEF JUSTICE LORE
ADDRESSES STUDENTS
Special to the Evening Journal

Newark May 16.-At a meeting Of
the striking students of Delaware Col
lege and parents, held in the Oratory
Hall at II o'clock this morning, Chief
Justice Charles B. Lore made a
lengthy speech, covering the trouble
between the faculty and the boys. The
chief Justice said that notwithstand-
ing the stand the boys had taken, and
in view of their determination not TO
study, he could see nothing but TO
pacify matters.
He said the boys would not break
their honor by rosuming their studies,
nor would they belittle themselves In
the eyes of their friends. The boys
hold that to return would ruin all, but
stronger heads urge their return. Even
parents urged the return of their boys
and TO make matters less hard, the
faculty decided to grant one conces-
sion, and, allow the boys, aside from
the suspended ones, to return on Mon
day. and not enter any demerits
against them.
The general sentiment among the
student body is to hold out, but
this afternoon at a meeting which
they have called.
Manlove Hayes, Of Dover, was pres
ent at the meeting, and advised sew
eral boys to return. The suspended
students are still in this town.
A well-knOwn New Castle county
farmer who has a son among the
striking Delaware College students,
when asked what he was going to do
about his son. said:
Il am not going to insist on his go
ing back. have advised him to go
back. and l believe that he would go
back If several of the others would do
so
Il told him." continued the farmer,
with a twinkle in his eye. that if he
did NOT go back / was short a man on
the farm and that probably a couple
of weeks in the field might be of bene-
fit to him. You town people have not
that advantage for your boys, and they
are likely to have to loaf"

MILTON WOMAN ATTACKED
and BRUTALITY BEATEN
Her ASSaiIaHt Also Tried to Force
Entrance to Homes Of Two
Other Women
sneclnl 10 the Evenlng JournaI.

Milton, May 16.-Great excitement
prevails here today over the assault
and attempted robbery Of several
prominent women.
Last night about 1915 o'clock, as
Mrs. Mamie Broclington and daugh-
ter. Virginia, were returning to their
home. negro attacked them at the
corner of Wharton and Federal streets,
the most traversed thoroughfare in
South Milton. Mrs. Brockington was
thrown down and beaten in a brutal
manner by the negro, but before the
wretch could accomplish his purpose
the cries of the frightened women
brought to the scene many men.
The negro ran down the street and
over the dam. followed by an angry
crowd. He eluded his pursuers in the
darkness and made his escape.
When the news was made known on
the streets this morning il was found
that someone. presumably the same
negro who attacked Mrs. BrOckington,
had tried to force an entrance into
the homes of Miss Lillian Cade and
Mrs Mary Lingo, but was frightened
of by the cries of the women
There is strong talk of lynching by
the citizens. and if the culprit is cap
tured. his body likely viii dangle from
some telephone pole. The authorities
are working on the case, but many
citizens are demanding that the State
detectives be sent for. No action has
been taken in this direction as yet.
Several strange negroes have been
in town this week and it is thought
that one of these is guilty. Miss Cade
describes the Negro as being of me-
dunn height and wearing a light suit
of clothes and a light slouch hat. A
telephone message from Greenwood
states that a suspicious-loOking negro
got of the train at that place and that
the description tallies with the negro
seen by Miss Cade.
Mrs. Brockington says it was either
Harry Tingle or John Simpler, two
negroes of this town. who attacked
her. Simpler has been in jail once or
twice for the same offense.

RAILROAD SUED
FOR DAMAGES
Relatives Of J. II. BIatZ
Want 100000
HIS YEARLY SALARYlWAS LARGE
Edward J. Finn Injured in SaEe
Accident Also Enters Suit
Today
HIS YEARLY SALARYlWAS LARGE

Salisbury. Ponder and Curtis this
morning filed three damage suits against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The three suits grew out Of the grade
crossing accident Of February 9, in which
Joseph ii. Blatz, superintendent of the
f. Blumenthal Company's plant was
killed.
The damages asked for amount TO $780,
600 which is said TO be the largest amount
ever sued for in this State for personal
injury. One suit is FOR $500 for the kill
ing Of the horse and destruction Of the
wagon.
Edward j. Finn, a timekeeper for the
Blumenthal Company, was badly injured
in the same accident and also is suing
for damages. Samuel Adams, Jr., is in
this case with Salisbury, Ponder and
Curtis.
The railroad company is alleged to
have been guilty Of criminal negligence
and not to have given sufficient warn
ing.
Mr. Blatz was 20 years old and re
ceived about $4,000 a year salary and ac-
cording TO the precedent established in
the Neal case last term of court in
which the jury was instructed that, il it
found the defendant guilty Of negligence,
it should fix the damage at what il
thought the man would have been worth
had he lived his natural life. The sum
named in the Blatz case seems a proper
estimate.
The action was brought by William c..
Blatz. abrothcr Of the deceased.
HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED
The men were driving over Beech
street crossing to the warehouse Of the
firm, and. it is said, there was no watch
ing nor safety gates at the crossing to
warn them. Hearing no bell or whistle,
they started across and reached the
northbound trace of the T., w. & b.
railroad when the $50 o'clock north
bound Chesapeake and Ohio express
struck them.
The carriage was splintered and the
horse killed and hurled several feet
Blatz and Finn were thrown through
the air some distance, and when the
trainmen came to Blatz he was dead.
His neck was broken and his skull was
cracked and several bones in his body
were broken. Finn was alive. He was
hurried to the Delaware Hospital, where
it was found that his head had been Sc
verely lacerated and his back sprained,
but no bones broken.

tary Dempsey, of the upper territory.
President Nichols, of the First dis
trict. was the great champion of the
strike advocates Mr. Mitchell, who
was the last to speak, was listened to
with the greatest attention. It is said
that during his Is minutes address he
read a telegram from Senator Hanna,
begging the men not to declare for a
strike at this time, as the United
States government had or would take
a hand in the matter by investigating
the legality of the alleged community
of interests OF the coal companies in
the production OF hard coal. It is also
said that telegram was read from the
American Federation of Labor against
a permanent suspension. But the DEL
egates would not listen, and amid con-
siderable suppressed excitement the
vote was taken. For a time it looked
as though the peace advocates would
win, but when delegation after dele
cation from the lower district, the last
to be called, answered Yes" it was
seen that the men who were for fight
had won. The result was received by
the convention with applause, which.
however, was not very enthusiastic O.
prolonged. The men appreciated the
seriousness Of their decision, which no
doubt dampened their ardor.
It was exactly q quarter to G o'clock
yesterday afternoon when the vote to
strike was completed and the conven-
tion adjourned. The delegates, how
ever, were not allowed to leave the
building, President Mitchell announc-
ing that they should remain in the hall
until he himself had announced the
result TO tho waiting crowd. When he
appeared at the front door there was
a great ruah at him, but he would not
open his mouth until all the cores
pondents had been assembled around
him. A great cheer was given by the
miners when the national leader finally
shouted the result, and wild rush for
telephones and telegraph wires ensued
Hasleton and surrounding towns last
night celebrated the Inauguration OF
the permanent strike by giving pa
rades.

Hazlcton, Pa. Lay lG.-The anthra-
cite mine workers in convention yes
terday afternoon decided to continue
the strike Of tho 145,0OO men against
the mine owners and to fight it out to
the bitter end. The matter Of calling
out the engineers, iremen and pump
runners will be decided by the dele
gates today The vote to continue the
suspension was as follows: Total vote
cast, S11; for strike. 461A; against
strike. S49%; majority for strike, 1111s.
President Mitchell, however in COM
pliance with the rules of the United
Mine Workers, annouced to the public
that the action of the convention was
Unanimous.
The step taken by the miners after
practically considering the matter for
two months has wiped out the uncer-
tainty of the situation. and it is freely
predicted that the most serious labor
struggle in the history of tho country.
If not the world, is about to begin.
That is the view taken by nearly every
miner While the leaders are cautious
and will not forecast their actions. it
is not unlikely that the miners fight
will be carried into the bituminous
coal regions and into other fields OF
industry. Mine workers for is months
have been looking forward to the
strike that is now upon them. They
have saved their money and are con-
sidered to be in better shape today for
a fight than they were in the great
strike of 1900. Politics in that struggle
played a part, and the mine owners
gave the men a 10 per cent. advance
after a six weeks suspension. The
operators are on record as being unal-
terably opposed to granting the men
any concessions. and they have person
ally informed the mine workers lead
ers Of that fact. The workmen fear
that the present fight may mean the
destruction of their organization, be-
cause they believe that the mine own
ers are bent more on wrecking their
union than they are in opposing the
demands for higher wages and shorter
work days.
President Mitchell's advice to the
miners was peace, and he gave it tc
them in the plainest and most forceful
Df language. He was ably assisted
by President Fahy and Secretary Hart
lein, of the lower district. and Secre-
