Auto Stage in Service.

The first auto-stage of the Auto
Transportation Co. reached Homes
dale on Friday evening. The trip
from Allentown was very pleasant
until Pike county was reached. Here
the roads were in bad condition, and
the auto was given a severe test
traversing them. The auto made its
initial trip here on Saturday and
the patronage was all that could be
desired. Sunday and Monday being
stormy days, there was a falling off
in the number of riders, although the
schedule was adhered to in spite of
the muddy roads and the down-pour
of rain which made travelling unusu-
ally hard and disgreeable. The
total number of riders taken on the
new auto Saturday and Sunday was
over 200.

False Statements Denied.

Mr.. Kelly, of Kelly e. Steinman,
reports that the statement published
that negotiations for the purchase of
the Outing property at Deposit, by
his company, had been delayed ow-
ing to defect in the title, was alb
solutely false, as there has been no
hitch whatever in the purchase
plans. Furthermore, he says, that
the report published in the same
paper that their machinery had been
held up at Lackawaxen pending
the settlement of this matter, was
a falsehood, pure and simple, in
tended to make the other falsehood
appear plausible.

STRIKERS IN
LAWS GRIP
SEVERAL FINES IMPOSED
Testimony Presented Before Justice
Smith Was Remarkably Con-
flicting.

/ Following argument Tuesday
morning by the counsel for the
! prosecution and defense in the case
of the ten striking glass cutters who
! had been arrested for participating
in a march and alleged assault upon
members of the Demer family on
the evening of April 18th, Justice
Smith imposed fine of $5 and costs
upon John Goodline, Charles Faatz,
Roy Williams, Jacob Leippe and
Jacob Storr. Lawrence Bauer, Lloyd
Danielson, Olaf Highouse, Fred Nc
Ardle, and John Reed were discharg-
ed.
The case was threshed out in de-
tail before Justice Smith at the
court house Monday afternoon, the
session lasting until nearly > O'Clock.
at which time the opposing counsel
agreed to defer argument until
Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock,
when the above decision was rem
dered
The witnesses examined during
the progress of the case on Monday
gave widely conflicting testimony,
the replies at times causing ripples
of merriment and whispers of doubt
among the hundreds of curious
spectators present.
The prosecutions interests were
ably looked after by Attorney Iloff,
while the defendants had retained
Attorneys Salmon, Searle and Num-
ford.
The prosecution opened with the
testimony of John H. Weaver and
his son, John, Jr., who related the
incidents of the now famous march
of April 18th, together with the hap
penings along the line from the fac
tory to the Hotel Wayne. Cross
examination failed to shake their
testimony,
Jacob Demer next took the stand
and told in detail the happenings of
the strenuous evening in question.
He stated that when he came out of
the factory he saw a mob of prob
ably $50 or 200 men congregated in
front of the building; that many of
the men uttered threats and cursed
him and his father. He said he was
river bridge, at which point he had
practically to run the gauntlet He
testified that he considered his life
and the life of his father in grave
danger at the time. Witness also
told in graphic manner of an as
sault made upon him by man
named Madison, now in Philadel-
phia, and the brutal treatment ac-
corded his father when the vicinity
of the Hotel Wayne had been reach
ed. A severe cross-examination fail
ed to shake the testimony of this
witness in any way but rather served
to bring out other points damaging
to the defense, among which was
that Roy Williams, one of the de-
PENDANTS, had seized him by the
arm and threatened to do him fur
ther injury
Henry Demer was the next man
called to the witness chair and he
corroborated the testimony of the
preceding witness in every detail
He also testified that he saw Chas.
Faatz jump on his fathers heels,
causing him to fall heavily while
near the Hotel Wayne He also tes-
titled to having heard many threats
of bodily harm. vile names and had
been told that the members of the
mob purposed throwing him from
the river bridge. He also identified
nearly all the prisoners as members
of the crowd responsible for the
trouble.
Philip Demer was the next wit
ness, corroborating the previous
testimony and adding that John
Goodline and Lawrence Bauer had

Meeting
IS VERY INTERESTING

Cincinnati, o., Oct. ia resolu-
ton giving the sanction of the Prot
estant Episcopal church to the heal
ing of the sick by prayer, was adopt
ed in one section of the house of dep
uties of the Protestant Episcopal con-
vention in session here toby, but was
defeated in another section by the
narrow margin OF five votes, the vote
being by dioceses.
That a majority of the house OF
deputies We're in favor of the report
was shown slearly when the cleri-
cal branch adopted it by a vote OF
~ to II, with nine dioceses not vot-
ing or divided. The laymen of the
house, however, killed the report by
vote of 27 to 80, four dioceses not
voting.
While the large vote polled on the
resolution came as a surprise, the
belief prevailed tonight ahat the sub
ject is dead so far as clis conven-
ton is concerned. The house OF dep
uties adopted new mission hymnal
for use in rescue work, after quite
a debate.
Rev. DR.. Hodges of Baltimore, in
opposing the motion, said that quite
a number of hymns were tunes IN
