PITTSTON, Pa.t Jan. U.-quIl reigns
In Dupont village todny. "A squad of dep-
ily sheriffs was on guard nil night nt the
Polish Church of the Baered Hart of
Jesus, where State troopers clashed yes
terday with a mob of more than 1060
Polish members of the congregation and
one man was killed and several others
fatally Injured.
The only disturbance during the night
was created by a few Intoxicated miners,
who threw stones through the church's
Windows. No arrests were made.
Trooper Humer Is still unconscious nt
the hospital, ahd no h.pe Is entertained
for his recovery. Nono of the Injured
rioters have died.
Father Ouswa, pastor o the church,
may be nrrestcd as a party to the riot.
Former Sheriff Duss says ho has Polish
witnesses who declare that when Father
Ouswa addressed the rioters at the re
quest of the sheriff to counsel pence, he
deceived the sheriff by speaking In Polish,
and told the rioters It was "their church
and no one has a right to take It from
them."
Following the trouble yesterday, a
quad of deputies In charge of Chief
Deputy Cnrl Buss 'ortcd an entrance
Into Father Quswa'a residence and cap
tured 18 men In hiding. They v a Iden
tified by Btnte troopers ns being members
of tho mob. The lock o- the church
building was Jammei so tho sheriffs key
would not fit, and entrance was made by
the deputies by breaking through tho rear
door, which wns found to he barricaded
from tho Inside. In tho belfry of tho
church four men v o enptured. From
their place In the tower they had thrown
stones mt the police and had rung the
church belle at tho outbreak of the flglit,
probably as n. Blgnnl to summon mora
sympathizers.
Sheriff Buss, I. is arms and shoulders
discolored by 'rules, and his yes blood
shot from 'he pepper thrown Into them
by women rlotorc, wns at his o.i.cc this
morning nnd said hnt iny further action
taken by him would bo at the direction
of the col. t..
The Sheriff said he had anticipated no
trouble yesterday, and so took only a
small force of Stnte troopers with him at
the outset. He was personnally ac
quainted with many of the rioters, and,
slngto handed, went Into the church
yard and begged them to be peaceful and
obey the order of the Court. "We'll kill
you If you Interfere," tho Sheriff said
was tho mob's retort.

"WILL INSIST ON RIGHTS
WASHINGTON, Jan, 17.
England and the I'nlted States 'were
prepared today to Join Issue, direct nnd
clear cut, over the question of British
trade Interference. Agitation In London
for declaration of an actual blockade of
Germany, to replace the paper blockade
of the orders In council, promised to bring
the Anglo-American disputes to n head.
State Department oltlclals snld the
effect upon this country of England's ac
tually blockading Germany would have
some good nnd same unsatisfactory re
sults. It would lnrgely remove American
objections given In the late general note
on British commercial Interference.
In that note the American Government
refused to recognize the paper blockade
as legal or blndlns upon this nation. It
refused to admit England's right to cut
off American trade with Germany direct
or Indirect, while an nctuul blockade was
not being enforced.
Declaration by England of a real block
ade of Oermany, officials here declared,
would thus remove one of the principal
Issues between the countries. If England
failed to enforce It, however, American
shippers' right to sell to Germany would
till be maintained.
The right of tnu L'nlted Htntos to Bell
)arg6 quantities of merchandise to neutral
countries, even though greatly Increased
purchased by those countries should raise
the suspicion that their ultimate destina
tion was Germany, will still be Insisted
upon.
In official and dlrloniatlc quarters grave
question was raised today regarding Eng
land's ability to enrorce tho pioposed
blockade. Except by resort to diplomatic
pressure of tho most extreme kind on
Germany's neighbors England cannot
blockade the Empire many believe. Bus
sla's co-operation In the blockade, It was
expected, would be usked to cut off Ger
many In the Baltic
This Government was prepared to resist
any feature of the blockade which should
be inimical to American commerce with
Denmark, Sweden or Holland.
KELLER'S CASE POSTPONED
Habeas Corpus Appeal Will Be Heard
Wednesday
The habeas corpus proceedings on be
half of Edward Keller, of Slt9 Frankford
avenue, accused of the murder of Daniel
J, McNIchol. whose body was found
burled In a trunk In a cellar ut too! Ken
sington, avenue, were postponed today by
Judge Rogers. In Quarter Sessions Court.
The Court will hear the case on Wednes
day. The postponement was at the Instance of
Assistant Plstrlct Attorney Taulane, who
decided on Saturday, after Investigating
some of the Commonwealth's witnesses,
to continue the case for a couple of days.
Keller was In court today, having been
brought up from Moyamensing- prison
with other prisoners. He remained In the
courtroom for some time before the post
ponement of the case was announced
Keller was taken back to Jail.
ATLANTIC CITT, Jan. 17. - Wise
women, coming shoreward for the early
spring season, should bring at leaBt two
complete parading costumes In their
wardrobes. Something pretentious In the
way of fur or outer raiment of heavy
fabrics Is quite essential for cold and
possibly wet mornings. But provision
must be made also for clear skies nnd
sunshine, for the Boardwalk fashion re

dripping and n hint of snow in the air,
tho parade was a drab affair Indeed In

The same transformation takes place
upon weckdavs, being less pronounced
nhen the skies nre bright. In the big
hotels a third chnnge Is necessary for
dinner nnd show-going. With the coming
of Lent the season of sackcloth nnd
nshes theoretically the clothes rule will
be enforced with even greater rigor for
society from all the big cities will hie
Itself seaward to see nnd nlso to bo seen.
Shore life with the elect Is decidedly not

WANT A REAL "REGULAR"
Any possibility that thfi V s. with
Governor Brumbaugh nnd the other nntl
Penrose leaders In tho State, will make
a fight In the primaries to elect delegates
to the llcpubllcnn National Convention
pledged to Theodore Booscvelt was killed
by Senator Edwin H. Vara , today, when
he urged the selection of a presidential
candidate on the Republican ticket who
hns nlways been "regular."
Progressive- lenders In Pennsylvania
have been urging tho nnll-Penrose forces
to do this, provided the Governor de
cided not to rnnkc the fight against
Penrose with himself ns a candidate.
The Vares themselves have Indicated
(mm time to tlmo that they were terl-
ously considering the plno. Senator Vare s
stntement, however, put nn end to the
discussion and Indicated to polltlcnl ob
nrvers that there will be no tight over
tho delegntcs f-om .Pennsylvania pro
vided tho Penrose wing of tho Organiza
tion shows n disposition to support a
candidate who stands for Progressive
principles nnd who Is not a member of
the "Old Guard."
"The Republicans this year dnro not
nomlnnto the typo of man who does not
nppe.it to tho Progressives," said Sena
tor Vnre. "They tried that experiment
four years ago nnd found it could not
be done. If Uicre Is such a split again
this j car. we may as well prepare for
four oais more of Wilson.
"My thought Is thnt a man should be
nominated who Is a regular Republican
nnd nt the same tlmo nn ndvocato of

torm of tlie Progressives. I am in favor
of a man who lias actively supported
ndvonced social and Industrial legisla

It was pointed out by polltlcnl observers
that the South Philadelphia Senator's de

PROVIDENCE, R. I., Jan. IT.
"Mrs. Mohr would be discharged with
out a doubt should the case end as It
now stands. She has not been hurt a
bit by the first five days of the State's
efforts."
This confident declaration was made to
day by a member of the accused woman's
counsel, when the trial of the woman and
the two negroes, Cecil Victor Brown and
Henry Suellman. entered into Its second
week.
Mystery surrounded the probable figure
to be cut In the case by Mrs. A, C.
Wright, who has come forward with a
story that a week before the murder she
overheard three negroes on a street car
planning to rob Bomebody. Her narrative
was said to be that one negro said some
thing about the man "having plenty of
money" on a certain night and another
mentioned an "Ideal spot." The woman's
story should she be called, It was said,
would perhaps lend color to Mrs. Mohrs
contention that the motive for the murder
was robbery and that she had nothing to
do with It.
A map of the scene of the alleged mur
der on the Washington road, Barrington,
today was put In evidence. Walter U.
Anthony, civil engineer, was called and
produced the map, which be aworo was
accurate.
Mrs. Mohr came Into court Just as the
crler said, "God bless the State of Rhode
Island and Providence plantation."
She wore the same outtit, hat, cloak,
suit and furs, which she had on through
out tl)e first week of the trial. No sooner
hud she sat down than a bailiff handed
her a sheaf of letters.
"They are all from women I do not
know," she said. "I appreciate their
sympathy, but I do not know tbera."
Following the mnpmaker the State
called William A. Burgess, a chauffeur,
who drove Chief Bobbins, of Barrington,
with Brown and Spellman. Burgess cor
roborated Bobbins as to the negros Iden
tifying the spot of the shooting and the
pl-icca where they said they threw their
pistols In the lake.
Under an agreement by counsel for the
varied Interests,, Mrsv Mohr today x.
pected to receive without contest one
third of the eata-te of Doctor Mohr. Tlie
other two-thirds, it was understood, will
tio divided equally amon-j Doctor Mohr

Samuel Gompers could not come, so ho
sent Krunk Morrison, secrctnrs of tlie
American Federation of Labor, to spenk
for him nt the meeting in the armory.
Mr. Morrison arrived at West Philadel
phia from Washington nt 11 o'clock and
hurried to Broad and Whnrton stiecis
Mr. Gompers sent this statement:
"I honestly hope that tho garment
workers will respond and become mt ru
bers of ihe union, rrmu'n inembem and
be true to themselves and to'eauli other.
In order that the advantages teemed by

Socialist of national ipptitntlon and au
thor of many books on economic, social

Mr. Sclilfslngcr in the arbitration pro
ceedings, and Congressman John R. K.
Scott was attorney for -Mr. llancy, of tho
Manufacturers' Association. Charles Ur
v(n, nnother Socialist, was one of the
spenvtrs at the armory.
The other speakers m. the armory meet
ing were Mr. Morrison. Air. Sehlcslngcr,
Benjamin Vladek, Max Anulur. Dr. Mn
Goldfurb ond Miss Florence S.inville.
They spoke to un enthusiastic audience
of women nnd girls between IS and 80
years of age. Tho girls waved in high
tho red posters that had been raited up
In hundreds all over the city 'ind dis
tributed among tho workers, or tossed
them In the air.
This gavo a reddish aura to the audi
ence and the blight. Ilame-colorcd post
era made the pale faces of the excited
nnd expectant girls seem paler. They had
risen this morning with u tremulous cour
age to take what was tu them the terrible
risk of losing their work for some time
to come. They had been told that the
manufacturers would surrender promptly
arid grant them the 15 per cent. Increase
demanded, but they were not sure.
But they listened with shining eyes and
parted lips to the ringing appeals of the
speakers "to think of the future of tho
workers," "to stand together, for it la
the only way you will get sane working
conditions," "to think of the children that
are to come after you and who will also
face unfair labor conditions if you give
lu tamely now."
They applauded these appeals, but they
were worried, because the 'wages which
they say are bo Impossible are not suf
ficient, at any rate, for more than a very
few of the workers to pu aside funds for
a crisis llku this.
"Nine thousand of you are out," cried
Scltlesingcr, "and by nlgntfall the rest of
the lO.OoO garment workers Irr the city
will be out. The unorganized workers
have followed the union workers out."
John Pierce, a vice president of the
garment union, implored the women to
''stick together."
"We may win tcday," he said. "This
board of arbitrators may decide on a
schedule that will give us most of what
we want before supper time, it you show
definitely now that you are In earnest.',
Miss Florence Sanvllle told the workers
that this was "a great chance for women
to show their power of co-operation,"
"This will be a great lesson for the
public," she sa)d. with enthusiasm, "to
show that women know how to be loyal
to each other and to humanity and the
cause of the oppressed. Let us show now
what should be the biggest result of tho
woman's movement, that women nre de
manding more Influence In the affairs of
the world solely for good, constructive
causes like this one."
The men in th audience, only about
10 per cent, of the assemblage, applauded.
They seemed greatly mavea by the, voice
of a woman ringing clearly across the
packed beads of th strikers. There wag
a note In that voice of pathos, of ma
ternal protectlveness that teemed to em
