CHARLES SCULL|ON ARRESTED
IN THE KLINE SHOOTING CASE
FOR AIDING BERGEN KILLING
Charged With Giving to At'
cuSed Man Revolver With
Which Crime Was Done.
CLAIMED HE KNEW ALL
Prosecutor Works on Theory
That He Was Aware of
What Was to Happen.

Charles Scullion, brother Of Mrs.
George Kline, whose husband killed
John Bergen, a movie actor, after
she had confessed intimacy with him,
was to-day arrested and charged with
murder in the first degree, as an ac-
complice before the fact, in the shoot
ing Of Bergen.
He was arrested at his home, No,

taken at once TO the office of Pros
ecutor \. c. Hart, in Hackensack,
where the formal charge was made
against him. Kline is already in the
Bergen County jail on a similar
charge.
Sculion's alleged participation in
the killing was this: He admitted
that while the quarrel between Kline
and Bergen was going on in Kline S
home at Edgewater, Bergen ran from
the house. Then SCullion dashed up
stairs and got a .45-calibre Colt pistol,
which he handed to Kline. The latter
pursued Bergen with the weapon and
forced him to return to the house.
Thence Kline marched Bergen to the
second story "to shoot IL out" and
in a few minutes there were pistol
shots and Bergen came down and fled
the premises, mortally wounded.
After Sculhon had been arraigned
before Judge Moore and entered a
plea of not guilty to murder, he was
taken to Prosecutor IIart's Office and
questioned.
When Mr.. Hart was asked later
whether he had obtained statement
from Sculion, he replied;
NO. | have already four diane
trically opposing statements and | re-
fused to take one from him because
II would only make "A fifth. He is a
chameleon. His people have been
talking their heads off in the hope OF
helping Kline. Scullion, arraignec
and charged with murder, now has a
personal matter on his hands and il
is fair to assume that he will try tc
help himself. Thus we may get the
truth out of him"
Mr.. Hart said that he had made
arrangements for imprisoning Scullio1

him to see or talk with Kline, who is

COAL STRIKE PEACE
WAITS ON REPLY

Meet in Philadelphia to Discuss
Plan Virtually Accepted

to settlement to-day than at any time
since it started, Ave months ago. Re
ports early this morning indicated that
John A. German Of Hazelton and Sec
'earN NJ ihe joint committee Of opera
tors and miners was prepared to issue
call for the meeting. and that there
is possibility that peace will be de.
clared in the hard coal fields before
tomorrow.
The operators and miners held sep
arate meetings last night II discuss
terms Of settlement rs proposed in the
compromise plan offered by Senator
Pepper of Pennsylvania Peace ap-
parently depends on the action OF the
Policies Committee of the operators.
If this committee agrees to drop the
operators demand for arbitration as
to the method in determining future
wage scales, nothing will stand in the
way OF an immediate resumption Of
negotiations by the join conference
committee and there will ye every
prospect of a speedy gleement.
If the committee clings to the arbi-
tration idea the United Mine Workers
will decline TO go into negotiations
The way for the operators out Of
the arbitration impasse has been
paved by the compromise presented
to the leaders of both groups in
Washington Tuesday. This disposes
of arbitration by omitting TO mention
1t in any form. AS something Just

This commission Will lack power
to arbitrate anything or bind either
party, but the fact that as a Gov

mand more respect than could the
findings of any joint committee will,
it is hoped, satisfy the operators, the
more so, as it will report before the
time for making a new contract, #
the Pepper suggestion as to the length
of the law contract Is accepted.
This Is a compromise between the
contract at fixed wages running un-

miners, and a long time contract with
the right to ask wage adjustments on
April next, demanded by the opera
tors. The exact length suggested by
Mr.. Pepper has not been disclosed

.FEUD MURDER TRIALS
COME TO MADISON

Richmond will see some real
big feud trials at the November
.erm Of court.
The Colson-Ball cases, as Il re-
suit of which there was whole
sale shooting in Bell county
courthouse last week, have been
given change of venue from Bell
county to Madison county by
Circuit Judge J. G. Forester. a
dispatch from PineviIle had this
to say of the transfer:
Two cases against George Col
son, one charging the killing II
Ira Ball in Middlesboro last win il,
ter, and one charging malicious
shooting and wounding, growing
out of the courthouse battle last
week, were transferred TO the
circuit court at Richmond for
trial by Judge Forester in circuit
court here Thursday on motion
of Capt. B. B. Golden, common
wealth attorney. The cases were
set for the October term Of
court. Judge Rodes ShackcI-
ford is presiding Judge in that
circuit.
The change of venue in this
case probably means that all ri
the Colson-Ball cases, the calling
of one of which resulted in the
courthouse battle Wednesday of
last week, will be transferred to
other counties for trial, though
no action was taken on them be-
cause all of the defendants were
not before the court. Judge For
ester ordered that be1cn war
rants be issued for Floyd Ball,
Frank Ball and Alva Ball, indict-
ed Saturday by the grand jury,
all the indictments growing out
of the court house shooting last

STRIKE SETTLEMENT
WOULD HELP GREATLY

Pittsburg, Pa, May 26-A sat
isfactory settlement of the Goa
strike would do more to stimu-
late business than any other ele-
mcnt in the situation, Thomas r,
McAdams, of Richmond, Va,
president of the American Bank
crs' Association, told the Penn
sylvania Bankers Association
here today. He said labor, which
seeks to maintain war time
wages, does more harm to labor
than to capital as the bill for eX-
cessive wages, in the last analy-
sis comes largely from the pock-
ct of the. working man who is
least able to pay.
