MINERS IN CLASH
WITH STATE POLICE
Number Of Persons Hurt Before
Riot Is Quelled

Scranton, Pa, May 25.--A riot broke
out among striking miners at No. IA
colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal com.
pany near Pittston, following an at.
tempt of a posse of state police, head.
ed by Sergeant Henning, to disperse
a crowd of Italians who threatened
others when a work train reached the
colliery
Sheriff Rodda of Lucerne county
hurried to the colliery on the out
break of the trouble and was shot at
but escaped, though thrown coupling
pin gave him scalp wound.
One foreigner, Peter Sura. was sc
severely dubbed by state policemen
that he may die in the Pittston hos
pital, where Sheriff Rodda hurried
with him in an automobile, and also
had his own wound dressed.
State Trooper Jasper Oftedach was
caught under his horse, which was
felled by blow on the head, and he
was dubbed before other troopers
drove off his assailant.
The riot was finally quelled and an
other one broke out at the Even col
liery, mile away, but the rioters
there dispersed when troopers arrived

COMET SEEMS To Be
GROWING new TAIL
Appendage Visible Long After
the Head Had Set

Chicago, May 25.-Forty degrees of
new born tail for the comet and a
doubling of its luminosity owing to
flaming hydrocarbon gas were record
cd by the astronomers at the Williams
Bay observatory after the specto-
graphic negatives had been developed.
Professor e. B. Frost, director of the
observatory, announced the results of
the computations.
-Four of us, after independent cal.
culations, agree that the new tail OF
the comet is forty degrees long," he
said. "The tail was visible long after
the head had set. The darkening of
the sky by the eclipse of the moon
helped greatly in the observations.
Observations by the hand spectre
scope showed carbon bands in the
head of the comet. These are con
firmed by the development of the neg
atives made with the twelve-inch tel
escope. The internal activity of the
comet is in full blast. 1t is making
gas at terrific rate"

GOVERNMENT is
the ONLY LOSER
Trust Paid for Sugar at Cor
rect Weight.
USED TWO SETS OF SCALES

Evidence Tends to Show That Imports
Were Weighed Twice, Once in Order
to Pay for Purchases and Again for
Use in Computing the Duty Due
Uncle Sam-Special Treasury Agent
WhaIey on the Gtand.
New York, May 25.-Although the
governments star witness, Oliver Spit
yer, the former dock master, who
walked out Of the Atlanta penitentiary
where he had been sent after bossing
for years the sugar weighing frauds
on the Williamsburg docks, had most
interesting story to tell when on the
stand, it is not mainly on his evidence
that the government relies in it's eff
fort to convict Charles r. Heike, the
american Sugar Refining company
secretary, of part in the conspiracy
fraud.
The government, it is believed, has
not yet shown its full hand against
Heike Little of the evidence has
pointed directly the way of the trust
secretary.
AS the highest up" man so far
prosecuted, however, the government
is thought not TO be likely to neglect
any point that might bear against him.
Treasury Agent Testifies.
AS Edward Whalley took the stand
to testify for the government at the
opening of the session, the president
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, Washington B. Thomas, and one
Hooker Of Philadelphia, sat in court
behind Heike and listened to his tes-
timony.
Whalley is a special treasury agent
who was with the other investigators,
Parr and Br3ezinski, when the famous
raid on the sugar docks was made in
1907 and the fraudulent weighing de-
vices were discovered.
Whalley was on the stand only a
few minutes and was not cross-ex-
amined. James f. Kerregan and Will
lam K. Mulhearn, clerks in Bender
nagle's office, admitted that they
never had received instructions to
compare the government weighers'
weights with those of the city weigh
ers. The last are alleged to be the
actual weights on which the sugar
company paid for its purchases and
the government figures the ones regis
tered by the fraudulent scales and on
which the duty was based. Kerregan
said he sent the government and city
weighers returns to the Wall street
Offices of the trust.

CONTEST TO OCCUR IN 1911
Another British Yachtsman After the
Americas Cup.

New York, May 25.-At the New
York Yacht club it is generally under
stood a challenge for the America S
cup will be received from the Duke of
Sutherland, the contest to be arranged
for the summer of 1911. AS to wheth-
er the death of King Edward will tenn
porarily put halt to any such plans
in England is a matter of conjecture.
When the first announcement was
made few weeks ago that the Duke
of Sutherland intended to try to lift
the cup the news was received by
yachtsmen with considerably more ac-
claim and enthusiasm than any similar
statement in the last few years. The
Duke of Sutherland. is well known in
English and Continental yacht racing
circles.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 25.-Threats
OF criminal proceedings against all

In the event that state officials do not

The preamble of the resolutions
states that the organization has legal
advice that the proposed contest is un-

mia.
Therefore the prosecuting attorney

EIGHTEEN DIE
ON LAKE HURON
Steamer Frank Il. Goodyear
Sunk in Collision.
FEW ON BOARD ESCAPE

Vessel Goes Down Shortly After the
Crash and SO Far as Known Only
Five of Those on Board Are Alive.
Most of the Crew Were at Breakfast
When the Disaster Occurred.
Port Huron, Mich, May 25.-The big
steel steamer Frank HI. Goodyear of
the Mitchell Transit company lies in
forty fathoms of water in Lake Huron,
about thirty-five miles off Point Aux
Barques, and probably eighteen of it's
seamen have met watery graves, fol-
lowing a collision between that YES
sci and the steamer James r. Woods,
another steel boat belonging to the
Gflchrist Transportation company. The
collision occurred in a heavy fog,
which overhung the lake. When the
two steamers came together the crew
of the Goodyear, which is reported to
have been struck amidships, had only
time to seize life preservers and only
few could jump overheard before the
boat began to fill with water.
The cook had just sounded the Sec
ond call for breakfast when the crash
came and many were in the mess
room. All rushed on deck and then
the boat began to sink. Some jumped
into the water and managed to get
out of reach of the boat, which was
fast filling.
Vessel Parts in Middle.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in the
center and with a sound which could
be heard above the whistling of the
Wood sank out of sight, carrying with
it all but five of it's crew. The bow
of the Wood was stove in, but she
rested on her bulkhead and although
some water flowed into the hold she
was kept afioat through the efforts of
the pumps.
Following the accident Captain Glib
son of the Wood ordered the lifeboats
lowered and gave the crew instruc-
tions to make every possible effort to
save any of the sailors of the sinking
steamer.
Within a short time the yawlboat
was brought alongside the Wood and
Captain Hemenger, Steward Frank
Bassett, Mrs. Emma Bassett, Frank
Mollick and George Grant were taken
aboard, all in an exhausted condition
caused by their exertions to save
themselves and the length of time
they were In the water
For more than seven hours the Wood
remained at anchor near the scene of
the collision, the captain hoping that
he would be able to save some more of
the crew of the Goodyear. When the
fog rose there was nothing in sight
and as his boat was damaged and in
danger of sinking also Captain Gibson
returned to this port.

1t Is here where the romance of the
whole business lies. Mr.. Hyman may

10 400 bales are sent, as rule every
