TOUCHES HEART
OF THE JUDGE
Gives Poor Woman Personal
Donation of so Cents.

With tears trickling down her
cheeks and an infant in her arms
Mrs. John Talaroski touched the
heart OF Judge John w. Beekman,
following the session of the district
court this morning. Mrs. Talaroski
stated that she had been dispossessed
of her furniture and had no money
with which to furnish her rooms,
and that her children were sick, and
she knew no place to 60. Judge
Beekman took the matter UP and
made an effort to see Stephen Som
ogyi, who had obtained the writ of
attachment for a grocer, who claim
ed John Talaroskf owed him $35,
but Mr.. Somogyi was In New Bruns-
wick.
1t seems that the attachment was
given in the district court on affi-
davit, In which Talaroski was classed
as an absconding debtor, he having
left the city for time. and that Mr..
6omogyi had 1t executed by Consta-
BILE John G. Platt. 1t Is claimed that
even though Talaroski was an ab-
sconding debtor that the family did
not have more than 5000 worth Of
chattels which the law allows,
Judge Beekmnn gave the woman
fifty cents and may confer with Mr..
Somogyi as to the legality of the
action when he returns from New
Brunswick. In the meantime the
woman was referred to the overseer
OF the poor.

Mines Have Desperate Bat
tie With the Miners.
EIGHT MEN ARRESTED
Upward Of 200 Men Armed
With Rifles and Carrying
Sticks of Dynamite.
EIGHT MEN ARRESTED
Special by Unifed Prsss WEs.

Wharton, May 16:-Five private
guards, sworn In as deputies, were
shot and score of strikers dubbed
and beaten In battle between the
two factions near the Mount Hope
mine, today. One of the deputies
was shot through the head and may
lose the sight of both eyes, 1t Is said.
Eight of the strikers were arrested
and lodged in Jail at Morristown.
According to the story told by the
guards, who came back here, they
found three sticks of dynamite on
one man ard eight on another. Up
wards OF 200 men armed with rifles
and furnished by the same agency
to which the men engaged in today's
fight belong, are expected in Whar-
ton later today. With the arrival
Of the new detachment the number
of guards in the strike districts will
be increased to 500. The bloodshed
this morning ended a fight which
started yesterday and continued
throughout the night. At first only
stones and clubs were used by the
opposing side, but when the deputies
opened fire the strikers drew re-
volvers and kept up the fight.

NO SMUGGLING
OF PRISONERS
Constable From Pennsylvania
Fails in Effort Here

AS the result OF futile effort
made by constable, Deveren, of
South Bethlehem, Pa, to arrest an
alleged embezzler yesterday after
noon, the police made 1t known that
no constable or other officer from
another state could come here and
attempt to smuggle away prisoners.
Deveren was severely critisized by
Patrolman Rymarczyk and informed
that under no circumstances should
he again try to make an arrest here
and take the prisoner away without
consulting the police.
The constable was after John Shor-
nut. whom he declared to be wanted
In South Bethlehem for trial on an
embezzlement charge. Patrolman
Rymarczyk was detailed by Desk Ser
geant McDermott to accompany De-
veren to 644 Hall avenue at 430
o'clock yesterday afternoon. They
found Shornut was not At homs.
Half an hour later = woman inform
ed Rymarczyk that Deveren had
been at the house sometime previous
and frightened his man away before
he could nab him.

Assistant Prosecutor Finds
Police Headquarters Ideal
Place for the Purpose.
SEPTEMBER GRAND Jury
Next Batch of Criminal Cases
Twill Probably Be Heard
In This City.

There is now every indication that
the next batch of criminal cases from
this end OF the county to go before
the grand Jury will be heard by that
body in a branch of the county
court in police headquarters of this
city. Assistant Prosecutor Joseph e.
Stricken inspected the headquarters
early last night and found it an ideal
place for grand jury sessions. He
found that the patrolmen's assembly
room was sufficiently large and con-
veniently located for grand jury sit
tings and that adjoining rooms on
the second floor and the police court
room on the ground floor were well
situated for housing witnesses while
waiting to be called for conferences
between county officials.
Mr.. Stricken states he will prepare
list of cases which hail from this
city and vicinity and will ask the
September grand jury to sit at police
headquarters to hear them. The list
will include causes from as many
places as are most conveniently
reached from this city. The assistant
prosecutor says 1t rests with the
Jurors as to whether or not they will
sit here. Under the law they must
appear at the county seat the first
day of their term to be sworn and
they may sit at any place In the
county on subsequent dates. 1t Is
believed that there will be no objec-
ton on the part OF the jurors to come
here.
When M. Striker was asked about
the desirability Of police headquart-
ers for grand Jury sessions follow
Ing his inspection OF the premises
about o'clock last night, he re-
piled they were capital for the pur-
pose, being highly adaptable.
Mr., Stricken announced yesterday
that Judge Daily would sit here upon
the next occasion to hear applicants
for naturalization papers from this
end of the county. This sitting will
probably mark the opening of a
branch county court in this city. 1t
is likely that the session will be held
in the council chamber OF city hall.
Immediately after this was settled
upon, the assistant prosecutor began
consideration for sessions of the
grand jury here. He found the coun-
ell chamber, intended to suffice as o
court room for the branch OF the
county court, vas inadequate for
grand jury purposes. Upon sugges-
ton, he Investigated the desirability
of the other end of the building and
found police headquarters there to
be ideal The date for the hearing
of applicants for naturalization pa
pers has not been decided upon as
yet.

IN
WEST VIRGINIA
Senators on investigating
Committee Hear of Cause
SpscidI BIZ United Pre.s Wfre.

Washington, May 16:-Quoting
census bulletin to prove that the
wage cost of producing a ton of coal
in West Virginia has been forced
down to fifty-eight cents, as COM
pared with seventy-nine cents In
Western Pennsylvania and other
fields, w. B. Farley, organizer OF the
United Mine Workers of America,
told senators today that all the vio-
lence in West Virginia during the
past fifteen years had been due to the
coal mine owners paying attention to
this fact alone. He charged that with
every cent cut from the wage cost the
10000 coal diggers Of that state had
sunk further into misery and despair.
Farley Is one of the witnesses to
West Virginia's condition who has
como to Washington with Mother"
Jones to urge favorable action on the
Kern investigation resolution. He
said that in all that time the owners
have absolutely refused to better con-
ditions. and have even cut wages and
that when the miners revolted guards
were put over them, handled them
about "a they pleased and there was
no use In appealing to the court"
Mother" Jones told of the horrors
which have resulted from that sys-
tenn. She related, among other
things. the story Of an attack made
by guards, deputies and mine owners
one night in 1904, upon party Of
sleeping miners in a cabin on STAN
ford mountain. Without awakening
the miners, she said, the raiding
party fired volley into the cabin,
killed seven and wounded twenty
| one. These miners had refused day
or two before to allow a deputy to
| arrest one of them who had merely
walked on the highway past a mine,
| in violation of an injunction.
None of that band OF murderers
was ever punished" Mother" Jones
said. "On Point Creek, last summer"
she continued, "a girl OF seventeen
was going on an errand of mercy
when she was stopped on the railroad
track by mine guard who swore at
her and made her get off the track.
He then made her wade a creek
through water UP to her arms and
taunted her. Another guard made
me. as old a woman as I am. wade
one Of the small creeks last summer"
