TO MAKE NEW MOVE
IN THE HICKE CASE

Developments are promised by leaders
of the striking machinists of the Standard
Arms Company as the result Of the dis
missal in city Court yesterday OF John
Bicke. charged with carrying a loaded re-
volver. The strikers declare they will en-
deavor to have Bicke brought into city
Court on a warrant so that Their side of
the case may be heard. Their determine
ton TO do so IS prompted by Bicke's tes-
tmony that they had attempted to intimi-
date him and by Judge Cochran's subse-
quent structures upon them. II they can
not get satisfaction in City Court the
strikers declare they will engage attorneys
and take the case higher.
Bicke yesterday pleaded guilty to carry
ing the revolver but declared that he had
been threatened by the strikers and car
ried ii for self defense. It was because OF
this assertion that Judge Cochran dis
missed the man and warned the strikers
not 70 Interfere.
Leaders of the striking machinists de-
clare that Bicke. who is a German, had
been in this city and had been an omploye
of the Standard Arms Company but a few
hours when no told compatriots that he
was carrying a revolver and would shoot
any striker who molested him. Later, they
say the men TO whom Bicke made the
statement were induced by the strikers 10
leave the employ OF the company and in
formation was then given by him to the
strikers OF Blckes remark.
Strike leaders thereupon. they say, fol-
lowed Bcke. summoned a patrolman, and
awaited his approach from tho Standard
Arms plant. As ho passed the group OF
workingmen. one of them pointed TO him
and declared his belief that he was armed
The patrolman then searched the man.
and finding the revolver, arrested him.
Tn city Court Bicke merely stated his
case through an interpreter. After few
remarks directed to the strikers, Judge
Cochran dismissed Bicke without hearing
further evidence. one Of the striking ma
chinlsts interested I'm the case against
Bicke, arose from his seat among the
spectators during Judge Cochran's re-
marks and was about TO make state
ment when Judge Cochran ordered that
he sit down.
The strikers have since conferred. Thes
declare that they will leave nothing un.
done to dissipate any idea that they have
endeavored 70 intimidate Bicke or any
other employe Of the Standard Arms Com.

weeks They want extra pay FOR Saturday

MAY REDUCE
COAL PRICES

Reports were In circulation among the
wholesale coal dealers yesterday that the
customary April reduction Of so cents a
ton on anthracite coal is to be granted by
the operators whether there is a strike or
not Although it is usual for the operators
to give notice to dealers of the reduction
carly i'm March. IN seevral years no such
warning was given untl the end Of the
month
The operators reason for contemplating
the concession is said TO be that they wish
10 avoid irritating public sentiment. If a
disturbance costs the public nothing. the
wholesalers suggest. the public is little
likely 70 interfere or 70 make a serious
protest. No definite expression ON the sub
icct has been made by the operators and
none is expected until after the miners
Scranton convention and the New York
conference.
A secondary consideration affecting the
.ruesuon OF reduction is said TO be the
large quantities OF stored coal, which 4,

BRADFORD GAME
BILLS PASS HOUSE
Create Game Commission
and Warden, and Revise
the Laws
spseIal 70 TnE EvENINa JouRNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del. March 24-If Representa-
tive Bradford has the same good fortune
with his proposed new game law measures
IN the Senate as he had IN the House yes
terday this State Will have a well-estab-
rshed department for the protection Of
game. The House passed the Bradford bill
creating a game commission and game
warden and the Bradford bill to revise and
re-enact the game laws.
In advocating the game warden bill Mr..
Bradford said Delaware is the only state
in the Union in which tho control OF the
state is not vested in a department OF the
state. There shall be three commissioners,
one from each county, to serve without
pay and to be named by the Governor
They shall name a game warden to re-
ceive $500 a year, TO be paid out Of the
license fund and not out Of the state
treasury Residents OF the State are to
pay one dollar a year for n license and
non-residents $40 a year. Other States have
adopted or are adopting many OF these
features and Delaware will have to come
to IT, Mr Bradford said something would
have to be DONE as the State Game Pro-
tective Association had outlivod It's use
funess. lie emphasized that the bill II en-
acted would not cost the state anything.
Mr.. Janvier advocated the bill as very
good one and a step in the right direction
70 protect the game lie didn't think there
would be great objection TO the resident
license OF one dollar to gun in tho State.
He thought, too, that farmers are amply
protected as they can gun on their own
farm without paying a license.
Mr.. Reeves, Mr.. Ledenham and Mr.
Ainscow also advocated the bill.
Mr. Jester said people OF his district are
opposed to the bin because of tho dollar
resident license and the game warden
features.
But four votes were recorded against
the bill
The House also passed Representative
Bradford's revision and rccodihcatlon OF
the game laws, a supplement OF the game
warden bill.
