MAN KILLED OR
DROWNED---WHI
An Incident on Wharf Front
Early This Morning.
Providing Thief I'm River Beyond Big
WharfbOat Where He Fell Or
Leapcd.
wATCHNIAN STARTS STORY

A shot, a brief interval, two more
shots in rapid succession, and then a
yell of agony broke the stiffness on
the wharf at the foot of Broadway
this morning about o'clock. The
shots and the cry aroused few peo-
pie in that immediate locality, these
being chiefly boatmen, but not until
later was there an explanation. Then
1t was learned that a would-be ne
gro thief was missing and that his
body was in the water out beyond
the big wharfboat.
An unknown negro. tall, rather
dark, and of middle age as far as
could be judged, attempted to steal
a box of jelly from the wharfboat,
but was detected by Night Waterman
Irwin Starr, of the steamer Dick Fow-
Ter. then moored at the boat. The ne
gro was making way with the box
when Starr spied him and called a
halt. The negro refused to be halted
and Starr drew his 3S calibre Colts
revolver and shot once. He repeated
his pistol practice and either hit the
mark of scared the negro into jump
ing off the boat into the river, where
he was drowned.
Starr was seen this morning by a
Sun reporter and his story secured:
81 am employed as Waterman on

this morning about 3 o'clock noticed

taken from consignment of the stuff

Starr has been Waterman on the
boat for some time. He is quiet

ord of a good, careful officer.
The matter as stated was reported
to the police and a lookout for the
body of the missing negro will be
kept at the wharf.

Johnstown, Pa, April 17.-In a
riot at Windler mines near here last
night three foreigners were shot dead
by deputies, boy fatally wounded
and Eugene Delaney, mining engin-
eer taken to the hospital seriously
hurt. The riot was the result of an
attempt on the part of the striking
miners to rescue some of their com
rades who had been placed under
arrest. A state of terror prevails.
Sheriff Begley has been summoned
and an appeal made to Governor
Pennypacker for troops.
The foreigners had been celebrat-
ing Easter Monday and much liquor
was used The streets were thronged
all day with a boisterous crowd but
no sign of trouble appeared until
night.
A body of miners was assembled
in front of the Windler Jail discuss
ing mass meeting that had been
held in the afternoon. The discus
sion ran into an argument and so on.
There was free-for-all fight. Depu-
ties from the coal mines made their
appearance and a number OF arrests
were made All those arrested were
union men and their colleagues set
up a cry that they were being dis
eliminated against and were inn
posed upon.
The arrested men were marched
to the lookup door but the mob at
tempted to take the men from the
officers. When forced back from
the Jail the men began growing more
violent every minute, threatening
the deputies, who finally opened fire
on the crowd. The mob hesitated.
apparently not expecting the depu-
ties would resort to fire arms. When
the smoke cleared away and the VIC
tins of the shots were viewed by
the mob miners that were armed
returned the shots of the deputies.
The firing ceased almost as soon as
1t began however, and the crowd
left the vicinity
An eyewitness Of the riot in de-
scribing the affair. said the trouble
started when Deputy Sheriff McMul-
fen went to a mass meeting held by
the striking miners in a door at the
edge of town. Many miners had
been drinking and the sight Of the
deputy made them furious. They
attacked him and he fed to the resi-
dence OF Councilman Davis. which
the mob attacked and literally
wrecked. McMullen escaped and
fed to the home of another neigh
Dor for shelter. A force of guards
arrived, arrested twenty rioters and
lodged them In jail. The mob attack
ed the guards at jail who. failing to
dispense them with bayonets, fired.
The mob fled in wild disorder leaving
three of their number dead in front
of the jail.

Uncle Sam is preparing to put
into the hands of his "boys' a
new rifle. The new gun is called
the "New Sprinfield, Model 1905. "
The magazine is on the Mauser
model but has a cutoff which en-
ables it to be used as single load
er as well as repeater, SO that in
desultory firing the full magazine
charge can be kept in reserve, to
be used if necessary. The gun
has a "stump" appearance. the
barrel being only "a inches long,
but the propeling power is i'm
mense, the powder pressure being
1900 pounds to the square inch,
the muzzle velocity being 1890

Did you ever see lot of nine
spot men who had it in for a busl-
ness man and didn't know why !?
Ever hear the gang curse and be-
rate home man who had made a
success of what he undertook
while they have been chewing
and splitting and lushing at the
same old job they monkeyed with
fifteen years ago? Ever see man
who gloried in another's success
and take a straggler by the: hand
and say: I'm glad to see you
succeed?" Ever see any OF these
things? OF course you have.
You see them every day. Then
there are dozens of reptilians
who will greet you with a smile
and stab you in the back because
you attend to your own business
and succeed. Whether they can
do as we'll or not, there are always
plenty of the venomous knockers
who are so filed with envy and
jealousy that they cant be decent
when some one else wins. They
fight you and lie about you for
no other reason than to tear you
down. In short no one has de-
scribed them any better than
Shakespeare has when he said:
"You have enemies who know
not why they are, but like the
village cur, bark because their
fellows do"

During the past twenty years
American interests in Mexico
have reached the amount OF $780,
600, 900, not, it is true, a very
large sum when compared to the
vast resources and wealth of that
country. Nevertheless that $500, ;
100000 has accomplished more
for the development of Mexico
than all other influences put to-
gether. Americans have placed
$50, 900, 900 in Mexican mines and
have more than gotten their money
back in the payments that have
been made for American mining
machinery. In addition to that,
the Mexicans have been taught
modern mining methods, and
have thereby increased the ag-
gregate value of Mexican mines
hundredfold. Agricultural en-
terprises have invested something
like S25, 100000 in plantations and
improvements, and in the mean
time we have sold to Mexico an
equal amount in the shape of our
machinery and incidentally have
taught the Mexicans how to farm,
which knowledge has added to the
wealth of Mexican farm lands
more than many time S25, 900, 900.
But by and by we shall find Next
co one OF our most valuable neigh
bors and most prosperous-and
largely through our aid.
