L0NG0 LIKELY T0.BE

District Attorney Lewis Has Taken
the Preparatory Stops to Effect
His Extradition Letter An
nouncing: Longo's Arrest.
Tony Longo, alias Antonio I.uongo,
the slayer of Police Officer James
Golden, of Dunmore, will likely be
biought back bete for trial. District
Attorney . n. Lewis has taken the
ptepatatory steps to effect this extra
dition. When anested In Italy, I.ongo
avcnod that he was not a citizen of
the t'nltpci States, and the Italian au
thorities, at the behest of the Ameri
can consul, weto proceeding to try him
there.
When this fact was communicated
to Plstilct Attorney T.ewls. he set nn
Investigation afoot, nnd secured un
deniable evidence of the fnct that
I.ongo was naturalized bete, and that
he, nt one time, circulated a petition
to be appointed a police officer ot Dun
more. Yesterday Mr, Lewis sent word to
Justice of the Peace Cooney, of Dun
more, to send In a transcript of the
case against I.ongo. This will be sub
mitted to the next grand Jury, nnd
If an indictment for murder is found,
the effort nt extradition will be made.
The letter nnonunclng the apprehen
sion of I.ongo and preparation for his
trial Is appended:

IMPORTED MEN
ARE EXPORTED

THEIR OLD PLACES.

Others Brought Here to Man the
Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Machine Shops Make Their
Exit When the Strike Is Declared
Off Situation at AllisOhalraera
Shops Strike Breaks nt Wilkes
Barre, but Ashley Stands Out.
Practically all of the Delaware,
Lacknwnnna and Western and Lacka
wanna iron nnd Steel companies'
machinists returned to work yester
day, the respective superintendents
putting the old men back In their
places as fast as they appealed.
Thirteen of thu strike! s of the Allls
ChaltueiH chops, on Penn avenue, re
turned to wotk, and Superintendent
McLaren rays the prospects ate that
a number of othets will return today.
Tho Wllkes-Harre shop of the AIIIb
Chalmers company resumed operations
yesterday moinlug with Its full force.
There wan an expectation that some
friction would come of throwing the
teturncd strikers nnd Imported men
together nt the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western shops, but the expecta
tion was ull awry.
Tho Imported men numbered nbout
323, nnd 140 of these were professional
sttlke bteakers, supplied from the
Drummond agency In New York. They
were paid thirty cents nn hour nnd
given ftee lodgings nnd meals. Pome
of them woiked day and night, with
only a few bouts' test, nnd cat tied ns
high ns $5 it day. As long as the big
wages continued they were content,
but the moment the strike was de
dal ed off and the tegular scale of
wages substituted, off they went for
fiesb pastures, whete the grass was
good, green and long.
OTHKRS LHFT TOO.
The othets, not Included In the pio
fcsslonal class, teallzlng that theirs
would not be a voty enjoyable lot It
they continued, or attempted to con
tinue to work alongside the men
whose places they had been filling,
nnd the moment they learned the
strike was off, they wete packing up
their bundles, pieparntory to taking
their depntture.
The company officials had promised
them steady employment nnd would
have allowed them to continue at their
Jobs at the regulation rate of wages
If they so desired. It was not their
desiie to stay, however, and the com
pany did not insist upon their staying.
The consequence was that few, It any,
of the Imported men who were work
ing during tho strike were to be found
nbout the shops yesterday,
Tho Imported men wore supplied
with transposition to the points
whence they cume, and dutlng tho
day and evening slipped quietly out of
town.
A few of the strikers who made
themselves especially obnoxious to tho
company by "pernicious activity" dur
ing the strike, were not allowed to
icturn to work. Who these wete can
not as yet bo positively stated. The
men filed applications individually.
Those whose places wete toady were
put to work at once. A number of
others weto told they would be sent
for when they wete wanted. Still
othets tecelved no nnswer nt all to
their applications. It Is not certain
that all these last mentioned nre not
to bo sent for. Time alone will tell
who the permanently discharged ones
are.
IMPORTED LABORERS.
A large number of Greeks nnd Ital
ians, Impotted to do laboring work,
ate Ptlll ab.out tho yards, but they
am to be shipped nway ns fast as old
employes teturn. The Imported depu
ties, for the most part, are also being
sent away.
The boarding nnd lodging arrange
ments nt the paint shop aie still main
tained for the accomodation of Im
ported men employed at the car shops,
who did not secure boarding houses
outside.
It now develops that a large number
of tho Imported men were boarding In
hotels and private houses throughout
the city. One of tho piofessional
strike breakeis was stopping at a
leading hotel In the central city and
came to work every day In a frock
coat, striped trousers, patent leather
f.hoes and high silk hat.
Sixty of the "professionals" went
from here to help break a sttlke In the
Missouri raclflc railroad shops. Othets
of them, it Is said, ate going to Read
ing. There was a report In oh dilation
that the whole crowd of Diummond
men were to go to the Allls-Chnlmers
shops this nioi nlng, but Superintend
ent JIcLaten denied this, saying he
had had no negotiations whatever with
any strlke-breakcts' agency.
The claim Is made thnt the Drum
mond agency offered to supply the
Delaware, Lacknwnnna nnd Western
company with eight hundred flist-class
machinists. The company, however,
contented Itself with Just enough to
keep up the Immediately necessary re
pairs. Tho reason more of them wete
not taken was that they command
thirty centH an hour, with free board
and lodging, and the man who supplies
them must be paid a commission tor
every day each one of them works.
HXCEPTION TAKEN.
The statement that the Allls-Chal-mers
men ate n unit In their detctmln
atlon to stay out till they win a vie
tory Is taken exception to by Superin
tendent McLaren. Ho says that thir
teen old men who went on strike re
turned to work yesterday, and that he
learned from various sources that mnny
mote contemplate icturnlng today or
tomorrow. Ho also says that as many
as thirty men who reluctantly went on
sttlke left their nddrcsscs with him
when they went nway to seek employ
ment In other places, with the request
that ho send for them nt the fltfit signs
of a break In the strilte. Supei Intend
ent McLaren expects these men back
In their places before many days go by.

for them, Superintendent McLaren fays,
they nre doing a very vain thing. The
Allls-Chalmctfl company has Its Mil
waukee shops with their 2,fi00 employes
In full blast, Mr. McLaren sayp, and Is
not gteatly concerned nbout tho Chl
cago nnd Scranton shops, which, It put
together, would not efjnnt the dimen
sions of the Milwaukee shops. The Chi
cago men can not win, Mr. Mclaien
says, and It Is foolish for tho Scranton
men to waste any mote time waiting
for a victory there. There Is no possi
bility of the company making conces
sions In Chicago, he said, after winning
In Milwaukee.

FOUNDRY RESUMES.
The foundry, operated In connection
with tho car building department of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company, resumed operations yes
terday morning with Us old force.
There wete forty-threo moulders, peven
coremakets, nineteen laborers, three
blacksmiths nnd one apprentice at
work. The moulders declared to Master
Car Builder Cnnflcld that they did not
go on strilte, but were forced to Idle
ness by the strike of the Inboiers. A
notice was poited Saturday night at
the foundry that work would bo te
sutned Mondny mottling. Tho tesult
was that nil hands leturned, A num
ber of new men were engaged a labor

Scranton,
An Associate Press dispatch fiom
Wllkcs-Bnrte says that the striking
machinists employed at tho Allls
Chalmers work nnd the shops of the
Lehigh Valley railroad at Coxton,
Wilkes-Batro nnd Snyre, made appli
cations yesterday for reinstatement,
tho leaders having come to tho con
clusion that it would be useless to
carry on the strike any longer. At
the Alll's-Chalmers works all the old
hands were taken back. At Coxton,
nbout forty of the old employes were
given work.
There aie quite a number of non
union men employed at the shops now
nnd some of the sttikets will have
to go elsewhere for employment. The
J00 machinists employed nt the Ash
ley shops of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, who went out on Mny 20,
have not yet made a move to return
to wotk, but they may In a day or
two. When they do, tho company
will not tecelvc them In a body, but

pany declined to receive Its men back

STRUGGLE FOR THE
BODY OF C0MPT0N
Divorced Wife and His Alleged Son
Are Arrayed Against the Father
and Brother of the Deceased.
Cornelius Compton, aged 44 years, of
Ninth stieet, died yesterday aftetnoon
on the opeiatlng table tit tho Moses
Taylor, hospital nnd now his father
and brother, on one side, and his dl
otced wife nnd his alleged son, nn
the other, nte contending for posses
sion of his body.
As soon ns he died at tho hospltnl
yesterday afternoon, tho young man
who claims to be Compton's son, went
to Undertaker Pi Ice nnd told him to
temoe the body to his undertaking
establishment to await his ordets. He
said thnt his name Is Claude Edwards
and that he lived with his mother,
I.auta Edwards, of 113 South Hyde
Patk avenue, who was divorced from
Compton about five yeats ngo.
Undertaker Pi Ice took the tcmalns
to his establishment, on North Wash-
Inton avenue, and was much surprised
ently in the evening, nt a visit from
the dead man's father nnd brother,
Jacob and Jehlel Compton, lespec-
tlvely, both ot Hnllstead, who de
manded that they be given the body.
They stated that Compton's wife
and the young man who claims to bo
his son had not lived with him for
live years and that accordingly they
had no legal or moral right to his
body. The undei taker was in a quan
dary, but finally decided not to release
the body until ordeted to do so by
Edwards or by coutt.
Young Edwards consulted Attorney
John V. Sctagg before taking pos
slon of the body and can ho expected
to fight any attempt on the part ot
the other side to secure It. Tho two
Comptons, father and son, after con
sulting with Mr. Price, decided to see
Attorney E. C. Newcomb and bad a
long conference with hltn late last
night. It Is understood that legal pro
ceedings will be begun early this
morning to secute possession of the
body.
"This young man who claims to be
my brother's son has no right to his
body," said Jacob Compton last night
to a Tribune man. "Both he and his
mother have neglected him for five
years, and he has so littlo respect for
him that ho doesn't even use his name,
but calls himself Edwards. He won't
get the body If I can prevent It."

Yesterday was too hot for big re
turns In The Tribune Educational Con
test, but Miss Vida Pedrlck, of Clark's
Summit, succeeded In getting within
nine points of seventh place, a posi
tion which she held during the greater
patt of June, All through July and
up to Inst Saturday Miss Pedrlck did
not meet with much encouragement
and was In ninth place, at the head
of the second table, but now seems to
be meeting with greater success nnd
ns she Is nn enetgotlo worker, her
prospects nte good for getting much
higher In the list.
Miss Norma Meredith also brought
In some points yesterday and nppears
nearer to Ray Buckingham, who still
holds sixth place.
Aside fiom Henry Schwenker, who
biought In one point, those nt the very
head of the list are appnt ently tak
ing a test, feeling secuie In their ad
vanced positions. It Is difficult to
forecast what the result will be six
weeks hence, when the contest closes.
It may be something of a realization
of the old fable of tho hare nnd the
tortoise, ns the contestants farther
down are working steadily along and
It Is very likely that some of them
will be at or very near the top on the
evening of August 31.

TREASURER OF THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT
An Effort Was Made to Elect One at
Last Night's Mooting of tho
Board of Control,
An effott was made Inst night to
have the school board elect a treas
urer, but It was not successful. Just
before that body adjourned, Dr. John
O'Mulley arose and offeted the follow
ing resolution:
Siranton, Pa , .Inly 2.', 1U0I.
To the 1'ieslilent ami Mrmheis ol the IloarJ of
Control of the City ot bcranlon.
Oentlemen: Wherea, res ent act of the Mate
legislature, lnon as the "Hipper bill," dunned
the office of city tieasurer from an clcctise
to an appointive one, ami
Win rea, Slid ilty trra-mer Ins been liitheitn,
ami Is at piesent, custodian of the si liool
funds of the Scranton aihool district; thereloie,
be it
itesolied, That the solicitor of the boird t
control be requested to furnbtli on opinion as to
the light of this body to elect its onn treiurcr
and present incumbent, recently appointed by
the cltj recorder, to art in the dpacit) of
treasurer of the sihool district without the in
dorsement or authority ot the board of control.
This resolution was adopted, nnd
President Gibbons then suggested that
It might be better for the board to
at once elect Mr, Robinson treasuier
for the balance of the year. The
latter now has the custody of a large
amount of tho money of the district,
nnd If there was an question that ho
was not the legal custodian of the
funds of the district and cannot be le
gally held, the board ought to net at
once.
He suggested thnt they proceed to
elect Mr. Robinson, ns a matter of
protection to the finances of the dis
trict. Dennis Roche, tho member
from the Seventh, objected to acting
nt once and suggested thnt the mat
ter bo leforred to tho attorney of tho
board In connection with the finance
committee.
It Is ptobable that the committee
will report in favor of electing a treas
uier. Steam Heating nnd Plumbing.

Bonds and
jD QL 111 mortgages have
always been
considered among the safest in
vestments. The one drawback
which they have always had has
been the lack of convertibility. It
the mortgagee desired to sell, he
must wait until the title has been
examined, and then possibly lose
his purchasers because of some de
lect or irregularity in the tltle.whicb
the purchaser's attorney may dis
cover. The mortgagee's policy of
this company may be assigned with
a bond and mortgage by the simple
endorsement of the mortgagee.
There is no expense ; it is as simple
as endorsing a check or note.
