scholarship was demonstrated at the

where a very large number of phys

were examined for licenses to practice

to the credit of this college that both

Mine Workers Of America"
President Mitchell at 10 o'clock received
an official communication from the district
headquarters Of the United Mine Workers
at Shamokin. which states that the situ-
alton at Shenandoah is not as bad as paint
ed. According to the report received no
one was killed and no one fatally injured.
Shortly after noon President Mitchell of
the Mine Workers issued the following
statement:
"WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 31.-Com-
plete and authentic reports furnished by
national officers of our organization located
at Shenandoah show that the stories of
the riot at Shenandoah were greatly ex-
aggerated, and the facts much distorted.
1t develops that no one was killed or fatal
ly injured, and that the entire trouble
might have been averted had the deputies
kept cool and used greater discretion.
While 1 greatly deprecate acts of lawless-
ness by any one, particularly by those on
strike, l am naturally pleased to learn that
the trouble is not as serious as first re-
ported. 1 have repeatedly warned the
strikers that any violation of law on their
part would initiate against themselves
alone, and 1 am hopeful that there will not
be repetition Of trouble of this character.

President L. NJ w. of America"

the bar, about 10 o'clock. when he heard
a woman shout, Don't let them beat that
man to DEATH
Witness stated that he went out and
meeting William Radke, a constable at the
place, asked him what was the matter and
why he had arrested the man who had just
been sent to the lookup. He stated that
the officer started for the dancing pavilion
where the woman was who was doing the
screaming. Witness followed the constable
to the pavilion and again began talking
with him. When the officer turned upon
him and called him vile names, asking him
what he was doing there Radke, witness
stated, then called upon Vermillion, who
came up in answer to the call.
1t was then, witness stated, that the two
officers began beating him over the head
with black jacks. After receiving several
blows upon the head, Williams got loose
and fed from the officers. He stated that
provoke an attack nor did he strike either
of the officers before or during the scrim-
mage.
A number Of witnesses were introduced
by Williams, whose testimony corroborated
that given by him.
Vermfllion, one of the officers charged
by the plaintiff with the charge, stated that
he in company with Radke, having just
left one of the houses, had started down
the road in quest of a party wanted by
them. They had gone but little distance,
said the witness, when they came upon
number of colored persons blocking the
road.
The latter were asked not to interfere
with the traffic, and one of the party said
he did not have to move. Vermillion then
stated that the person who made the re-
mark was told that unless he moved he
would be locked up. An alteration follow
ing, the man was arrested and given in
charge of a person to be held for the Off
GERS. The latter then returned In the direc-
tion of the screaming. 1t was on the re-
turn that Williams accosted taem and fol-
lowed them to the pavilion. Vermillion stat
ed that Williams made some remark to
Radke, but that he did not know what IL
was. Williams struck Radke over the left
eye, the latter falling into his arms. 1t
was then, witness stated, that he struck
Williams with mis- blackjack, but hs 2id not
remember using IL but once.
Vermillion stated that considerable trou-
bic had been experienced with Williams,
and that only recently he and others had
been driven from the lookup.
Radke corroborated the testimony OF Yer
million. and stated that a great deal Of
trouble was had at the hands of Williams
meddling in nearly every arrest made at
the junction.
Mr.. M Duckett represented Williams.
The affairs of the officers were looked after
by Mr.. Justice of the Peace John E. Morrl-

Deputies Go to Release Imprisoned
Strike Breakers.

POTTSVILLE. Pa, July 31.-Some ex-
citement was occasioned at New Philadel-
phia today when twenty-five deputies with
guns on their shoulders marched into town,
evidently to secure the release Of a number
of men who were not permitted to return
to work at the Silver Creek colliery of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company.
Their arrival caused indignation among
some of the citizens, who declared that the
presence of the armed men would tend to
incite riot.
Chief Burgess Walters and Constable An
stock ordered the deputies out of town and
they left and returned to the colliery.

Its minutes an expression of it's sorrow and
sympathy in the death of it's president,
John: Wesley Ross. Commissioner OF the
the Doth of July, 1902. The loss to the COM
mission Is great. Mr.. Ross was it's presi-
dent from it's organization to the day Of
his death, presided over it's meetings, and
largely directed it's affairs. He was deeply
interested in its work, which was ever an
object of his solicitude, and he looked for
ward with expectation to its conclusion,
when the completed building would be turn
ed over to the board of trustees. Fortu-
nately that work Is almost finished, but
the commission deeply regrets that Mr.
Ross was not permitted to see the end of
it. In their relations with Mr.. Ross the
members of this commission had full op-
portunity to appreciate his attractive per-
sonal qualities and his fine intellectual
powers They feel that they have lost a
wise counsellor and a kind friend.

Operators Saw Strike is Broken.

Operators Say Strike is Broken.
Those Of the local operators who could he
seen today are of the opinion that the pack
bone Of the strike is now broken, and that
it will only be a short time until there will
be a general resumption Of mining.
National Board Member John Fallon, who
arrived at President Mtchells headquar-
ters today, would not admit, however that
the affair at Shenandoah, unfortunate as it
was, would change the situation. He said
the great bulk of the strikers were orderly
and would continue peaceful. AS long as
that was the case the operators could have
little hope that their old employees would
return to work.
Adjt Gen. Stewart received telegram at
8 o'clock this morning from Gen. Goblin,
stating that he arrived at Shenandoah at
6:45 am, with Companies and 1 of the
Sth Regiment and the camp equ.page from

ments and the governors troop.
Gen. Goblin left here in a special train
early this morning and in his telegram to
the adjutant general he says there was no
demonstration when the troops arrived at
Shenandoah.
The governors troop and the Carlisle,
Chambersburg and York Companies left
here at 7:45 o'clock for Shenandoah and
will reach there before noon Gen. Stewart
was at his office all night directing the
movement Of the troops and the shipment
of the camp equipage from the arsenal.
Word was received from Gov. Stone early
this morning that he is en- route to Har-
risburg from Paul Smiths in the Adiron-
dacks and that he expects to reach Harris
burg at o'clock this afternoon on the
Pennsylvania railroads limited train.
The governor started for Harrisburg at s
o'clock last night and was kept advised of
the movement of the troops and the situa-
tion in the region en- route by special ar
rangement with the railroad and telegraph
companies.
Statements by Mitchell
President Mitchell today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
while I am not informed of the causes
of the regrettable occurrence at Shenan-
doah. and consequently not in position to
say whether the miners or the deputies are
responsible for 1t I am, nevertheless much
grieved to learn that there has been
serious violation Of the law l have re-
peatedly warned the miners that the person
who violated the law was the worst enemy
the strikers could have, and l have directed
our local officers and committees to be
constantly on the alert for any breach Of
the peace. Our efforts in this direction will
be redoubled. and I trust that judgment will
be withheld until the responsibility for the
trouble at Shenandoah has been properly
located.

Wealth of Floral Tributes.

Such wealth of beautiful flowers has
seldom been seen. They were banked upon
the altar and about the chancel in the
greatest profusion. Their donors ranged
from the President of the United States
down to the most lowly servant Of the Dis
trict. The tributes were as sincere as they
were manifold. AT the request of the mem
bers of Mr.. Ross family, the flowers will
be distributed this afternoon among the
various hospitals of the city. The token
from the President was a magnificent
wreath, and occupied a prominent place in
the floral arrangement. There were an I'M
mense basket of roses sent by the police
department, over which Mr.. Ross had su-
pervision; pillow from Mr.. Ross asso-
ciates on the District board, Mr.. Macfar-
land and Colonel Biddle; a wreath from the
sign from Lafayette Lodge, F. A. A. NJ;
Mystic Shrine symbol from that organiza-
ton, and scores of personal remembrances.
The casket placed at the foot of the altar,

cover of the casket was removed and the
congregation filed by to have last look at
the dead Commissioner. Attended by the
active pallbearers and ushers, the body lay
in state from noon until O'Clock this
