OU1RAGES DURING STRIKE
FURTHER TESTIMONY FROM
NON-UNION SIDE.

One Witness Requested to Resign from
"a Catholic Temperance Society
Another Expelled from Lodge of HI
bernians-s schooItencher Lost His Po-
sition Because Hts Father Worked
During the Strike. 81. ....--,.s s-f...5.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 19.-Non-union
men, some of their relatives and others
to the number of thirty appeared before
the anthracite coal strike commission
to-day and told their stories of alleged
boycotts, intimidation, dynamiting and
violence in various forms during the
late strike. Each witness was, suf-
ferer at the hands, they alleged, OF
union men. -Four witnesses said at
tempts were made to blow up their
houses; one house was badly damaged;
many of the witnesses were threatened
with bodily harm; several were beaten,
one was shot in the leg, and every one
stoned, boycotted or hung in effigy. One
schoolteacher testified to having lost
his position because his father did not
strike. One man was asked to resign
from a Catholic temperance society and
another witness was expelled from a To-
cal lodge Of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians because they were classed as
unfair workmen. Joseph III. Dugan, the
man who was requested to give up his
membership in the temperance society,
wept while on the stand as he told of
how they ordered him to leave after
many years of pleasant social relations
with it's members. He was very ac-
tive in the society and drilled many of
it's military branch. The boys he had
drilled stoned him on the highway and
when he displayed his revolver they all
dropped fiat on the road.
James Mitchell, the man expelled
from the Hibernian society, said he
worked during the strike as a repair
man and did not consider it unfair, be-
cause he did not mine any coal. He had
been a member of the society twenty
six years and was In good standing, but
the question of unfairness came up, and
the members present unanimously vot-
ed to expel him.
A Polander named Max Lasar, who
did not quit when the strike was inaug-
urated, told Of how a man threw a
quart bottle of giant powder, to which
a lighted fuse was attached, into the
parlor of his home. He extinguished
the fuse. The powder was shown to the
commission.

Chelsea, Mass, Dec. 19-"I want a
warrant for President Roosevelt" said
Charles G. White, well-to-do citizen
to-day at the Central police station.
Addressing Captain Grover, who was in
charge, Mr.. White continued: "He
hired Tim McCarty and John Farley to
assault me the other day and was as
saulted by them on Eastern avenue
Roosevelt was there in his carriage and
encouraged the men while they were
striking me-" Then the speaker ram
bling into a long string Of complaints
against President Roosevelt, because of
his alleged non success in dealing with
the coal question.
AS the man continued he grew excit-
ed and Captain Grover invited him into
the cell room to await the arrest of the
president. When the officers tried to
search Mr.. White he resisted and had
to be overpowered. A revolver fully
loaded and razor were found on him,
together with much money and valu-
ables. He is held for an examination
by physicians.

AN ANTITRUST SUIT.
General Electric and Westinghouse
Companies Made Defc IN dants.

Coupnmtes Made Defc III dants.
New York, Dec 19.-Daniel J. M.
O'Callaghan, a lawyer of this city, who
refused to give the names of his
clients, instituted proceedings to-day
against the General Electric company
and the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company for alleged
violations of the Sherman antitrust
law. The papers, which in accordance
with the provisions of the law, should
have been filed with United States At
torney General Knox, were served on
the United States district attorney, H.
T. Burnett, by whom they will be for
warded to Washington.
The assertion is made in the papers
filed that at different times since the
organization of the General Electric
company the plants and salesrooms of
all the companies controlled by Thom-
sn- Houston company, one of the con-
Germs in the General Electric company,
have been closed, though the corporate
existence of the Thomson Houston
company has been maintained. The
petition further alleges that on March
70, 1896, the General Electric and West
inghouse companies entered into writ
ten agreement to limit competition, reg
ulate prices, make an interting patent
license and divide the territory in
which they could sell goods. 1t is also
asserted that there is absolutely no
competition to-day in the sale of the
articles that constitute large part of
the manufactured products of the two
companieS,

NO LACK OF TONNAGE.
Plenty of ships 80 Carry Coal When
There is Coal 10 Garry.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries to-day considered the Mccall
resolution to suspend the operations of
the coastWise navigation laws so as to
permit foreign ships to carry coal from
one port to another on the coast. A
large number of kilograms, letters and
statements were read, indicating that
at this time there apparently is not
only a sufficiency but large surplus of
tonnage available for transportation of
coal and that it is a scarcity of coal,
not ships, which is causing the trou-
BILE.
1t was stated before the committee
that an unreasonable and extortionate
rate of freight is being charged for the
transportation of coal from the ship
ping ports to the market ports and that
in Boston, whence comes the greatest
number of these complaints, the lack
of facilities to unload coal as rapidly
as it comes to the market, is the great
est obstacle to the distribution of that
commodity. The statement was made
tIGtL IilcAC w as ollS lllIlS "lIillii
week fifteen schooners laden with coal
waiting to be discharged and that the
inadequacy of the docks was one of the
chief troubles at Boston.
The committee postponed further con-
sideration of the resolution until the
meeting in the first week Of the session
following the holiday recess. If the
resolution should be finally passed it is
stated it would be in the interest of a
reduction of freight rather than be-
cause of any scarcity of tonnage.

The shooting occurred on the street in

her from the rear and accosted her. AL
most at the same moment he drew re-

who turned and attempted to run away
She had gone only few steps when
Helscher began firing upon her. After
discharging five shots at the fleeing wo-

placed the pistol in his pocket and
started to walk away. He made no ef-

denied acquaintance with Helscher, but

accuse him of having shot her, but ask

Neither would she state the nature of
her rela tions with Eelscher.
Two bullets took effect in the wo-

another embedded itself in the right
side of the chest. The physicians hold

San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec 19.-Car-
rying a great white bone in her teeth
the United States cruiser Albany left
Culebra last night, which caused her
destination to be the subject Of wild
runors through the fleet. The gem
eral belief was that she was bound for
Venezuela. Admiral Dewey and the
other officers on board the MayfioWer
declined to announce the Albany's des-
tination or explain her mission, but it
was asserted that the plans regarding
the Christmas holidays would not be
materially modified. The fact that
there has been no change in the deci-
sion to send four battleships to Trini-
dad and cruiser to Curacao is signifi-
cant, because while it was the admiral's
original intention it shows that In the
opinion of the authorities nothing has
occurred to warrant change in the
programme. At the same time the
presence of these formidable ships at
Trinidad is expected to exert salu-
tatory effect.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The explana-
ton Of the visit of the cruiser Albany
to La Guaria, from which place she is
to return Immediately to her position

the Contrary and Upon Further In-
VesIigat!On Harvard Was Convinced
of His IneIigIbiltIy.
Cambridge. Mass, Dew. ia state
ment covering the incident of the with
drawal of Mr.. King. Harvard's center,
from the football team in the games
with Pennsylvania and Yale, was given
to the Crimson tonight by Professor
Hollis, representing the Harvard Ath-
letic committee. The statement ex-
plains Mr.. Kings coming to Harvard
law school from Indiana university, and
in February last presenting a certificate
from the athletic committee of his col
lege, together with his own statement
that he had played only three years.
Harvard accepted these as conclusive,
and he was allowed to join the Har-
ward team. The statement further says
that few days before the Pennsylva-
mia game a letter reached the head
coach of the Harvard team through the
head coach of the Yale team offering to
supply affidavits that Mr. King had
played four years. This led to an in
vestigation, and the Harvard athletic
committee in absence OF complete evil
dence coming to hand withdrew Mr.
King from the Pennsylvania game. Be-
fore the Yale game letter was receiv-
ed from the ex-chairman of the athletic
committee of Indiana university estab-
fishing conclusively the fact that Mr.
King had played at least two games in
! 1898, on team which was published as
a university team and which was sup
ported by students and members of the
faculty. In conclusion the statement
! says that while there were good
grounds for a difference of opinion in
Indiana university as to Kings eligibil-
| ity, there was no difference of opinion
in the Harvard athletic committee and
he was ruled out of the Yale game.
