CONSTABLE GARDNER
IS UNDER ARREST
BLACKMAIL IS THE CHARGE.
Matthew Pfaff Says the Constable
Called Ten Dollars from Him
and Promised Protection.
James Gardner, of Pir Birch street,
constable of tho Nineteenth ward, was
arrested last night on a charge of ex
tortion preferred by Lieutenant of Po
lice JCaug, and after admitting Ills
guilt, was held under JSOO ball by
Magistrate Christian Storr.
Matliew Pfnff, who, It is alleged, has
been selling liquor without a license
for some time nt J.72 Elm street, told
Lieutenant Kang n few days ago that
Gardner asked him for ?I0 about two
weeks ago, saying that he'd promise
him protection if lie got the money.
Pfaff also claimed that Gardner said
he'd share the money with Lieutenant
Zang and that the latter wouldn't
bother him.
The lieutenant laid a wararnt sworn
out for Gardner's arrest and It was
served on him Inst night by Patrol
men George Jones and AVIlliam
Gschiedle. He was taken before Mag
istrate Storr and given a hearing.
Pfaff testified that he gave Gardner
$10 after he had promised him pro
tection and his wife, who was u wit
ness of the transaction, corroborated
his testimony.
Gardner finally acknowledged hav
ing received the money, but denied
that ho told Pfaff that he'd give any
of it to Lieutenant Jiang. The magis
trate hold him under $S00 bail for his
appearance at court. His brother,
Fred Gardner, qualified as his bons
mau. Gardner was appointed constable by
court soniu months ago, when Consta
ble Chase resigned.
m
FROM TBEE TO PIANO.
Bemarkable Transformation ns
Wrought at Keller & Van Dyke's
Piano Factory.
From a walnut tree in a grove at
Nanticoke to a musical symphony In
Pino Brook is a far cry, but a Tribuuo
man yesterday saw the idea in pro
cess of materialization at the Keller &
Van Dyke piano factory, at 1043-10.il
Capouse avenue. It wns only two or
three years ago that the board of trade
told of a piano manufacturer who
would probably locate In Scranton.
Tho manufacturer was the maker of
the famous Keller Brothers' piano,
and in duo time the factory wns trans
ferred to Scrnnton, because of its cheap
fuel, dry atmosphere and remarkable
shipping facilities.
Joseph Keller, of the old firm of Kel
ler Bros., and AV. AV. Van Dyke, of this
city, then became the firm of Keller &
A'an Dyke, and their business ever
since has been of constant and profit
able growth. The newspaper man was
shown through the entire establish
ment and shown tho most minute de
tails in the making of the piano, front
the rough lumber to tho beautiful tln
Ished instrument In the firm's ware
rooms, and through it all he was most
impressed with tho thorough work
manship and absolute honor that this
firm puts In a piano.
Then, with tho wo. "n'ful even scale
for which this piano . noted and of
which Mr. Keller is I lie inventor and
tho beautiful full, resonant, .singing
tones, The Tribune man was led to ex
claim: "Mr. Keller. I believe your
piano must be tho finest In the I'nlted
States," and had ho said yes, wo
would unhesitatingly have accepted his
word for It, but he replied: "No, it
would bo untrue for ns to say that, but
wo positively know that It Is as per
fect as tho best,"
Mr. Keller is the superintendent of
tho plant, and his work extends from
the buying of the lumber In tho forest
to tho playing of tho symphony on the
Unissued product.
Tho factory now employs one hun
dred first-class mechanics; it turns out
and ships daily six pianos, its ictail
trade In Scranton and vicinity will this
year be 300 pianos. An instance of
how the idano sells wan shown at tho
lloiiesdalo fair, where llvo Keller
Brothers' pianos woro on exhibition in
(conipetltlou with some of tho leading
iiuiiie.-i ui inu couniry, tho live ueuer
Brothers' pianos woro sold right on
tho fair grounds, without any effort
whatever.
Thero arc two classes of peoplo in
Hcrauton, tho class who bellevo that
nothing Is good unless it comes from
New York, and the patriotic class, who
say "Scranton product Is good enough
for mo." To the latter class a visit to
the Scranton piano factory would cer
tainly bo u delight and to the other
class an eyo-opener, AVo believe our
people would be surprised If they
really knew what a splendid thing the
city has acquired In this factory.
This linn's success and its business
growth Is duo solely to tho merits of
the piano. They .have already added
an e-xteiibloii to tho big four-story
brick factory building and aro con
tcmplutlng another addition.

NUMBER OF IMPORTED
MEN HAVE ARRIVED
Crowd Was Outwitted and the Men Arrived
Safely at the Linden Street Barn.
An Increase of Wages
Now Asked.
The Scranton Uoilway company last
night Imported seventy-live men from
New York city to run its cars. The
men were brought Into the city on the
Lackawanna train which arrives at !)
o'clock. They were dropped oft be
tween .Madison and Monroe avenues
and hustled Into the Linden street barn
before the big crowd waiting at the
Lackawanna station realized what wns
doing.
AVord was received at the headquar
ters of the strikers early In the even
ing that a number of men weie coming
In on tin; n o'clock train and a big
committee was appointed by the execu
tive board to meet thorn and use every
luwful means to persuade them from
working for tho company. The strike
leaders cautioned the men to usu no
violence and to do nothing to exceed
tne limit of the law.
The news of the arrival of the men
spread around town like wildfire and It
wasn't long before there was a pretty
good-sized crowd gatheivd In and
around the Lackawuna station. Two
street cars were backed down the ave
nue and left standing- near the "Y"
to throw the crowd off the secret and
make them believe that the company
proposed taking the men from the sta
tion to the stret car barn In them.
Police on Hand.
In nditlon to this Superintendent of
Police Bobllng, Lieutenant Foeney, De
tective Day and several policemen
mingled with the crowd ready to quell
any disorder.
The train was rather late in arriving
and when It came In to the station
slowly the waiting crowd began to have
suspicions. A stout Individual on the
front car shouted as tho train reached
the platform: "You're not foxy
enough. They got off up above."
The crowd as with one Impulse made
a dash for Lackawanna avenue and
then for the street car barn on' Linden
street growing in numbers as it swept
along. It is estimated that at least
l.noo people filed Into Spruce street and
through the alleys leading to the back
end of the barn.
The advance guard of the crowd ar
rived just in time to see the doors clos
ing on the last of the Imported men.
Things assumed a serious aspect In a
minute. The crowd surged about the
door and peered into tho windows and
kept growing in size every instant.
Inside the imported men could be
seen moving about nervously and try
ing to keep out of sight. One tall, ex
cited man mounted a box and shaking
his fist at a crowd of men inside yelled:
"You scabs! If you run cars tomor
row we'll kill you. Do yon hear'.'
AVe'll kill you."
A squad of police hi charge of Su
perintendent Kobling came through
from Linden street on tho double quick
at this juncture and pushed the crowd
out of alleys and into Spruce and Lin
den streets. The crowd kept hovering
about for upwards of half an hour but
finally dispersed leaving the car barn
in silence.
A Few Met Them.
There were but a dozen strikers
ready to meet the train when it stop
ped to let off the imported men, near
Madison avenue. They wero pushed
aside by the detectives who had
charge of tho imports and several of
whom held revolvers in their hands,
ns the men got off tho train and
formed in line, two abrenst.
A detective and Dispatcher Frank
Brown, of the company, headed the
men as they marched quickly down
nidge Row and several other detec
tives walked on each side of them.
The men were walked as rapidly as
possible to Spruce street and down
that thoroughfare to Forest court and
thence to the enr barn. They wero
followed by a small-sized crowd,
which kept up a continual crying of
"scab, scab," but which attempted
nothing more serious.
Fred Ceiino, a member of the strik
ers' executive committee, threatens to
ill-rest Dispatcher Brown on tho
charge of assault and battery. He
claims ho was walking along by llio
Mile of tho Imported men for the pur
pose of preventing nny disorder. If It
lay in his power, when Brown caught
hold of him and threw liim forcibly
into the middle of the street.
The members or the executive board
had not much comment to make on
the Importation of the men.
Oppose Violence.
"Wo do not countenaucQ violence,"
said National Board Member Beeves,
"and If thero Is any It will not bo
committed by tho strikers. We claim
that we. havo tho legal tight to per
suade men to quit tho company's em
ploy, but desire It to be thoroughly
understood by tho public that wo pro
pose to use nothing but moral suasion
In preventing tho running of cars.
"Wo claim that General Manager
Slllhriap Is Inciting riot and disorder
by bringing In armed thugs from New
York to terrorizo the strikers and lo
Today.

Bunks have been fitted up for tho
Imported men In the paint shop at the
car barn nnd they will be quartered
thero for the present. A cooking runge
bus been set up and their meals will
be cooked for them by a cook who has
been engaged.
WILL INSIST ON
INCREASED WAGE
The strike of the local street car
men promises to he a long-drawn out
and tedious struggle. Both the officials
of the company and the strikers have
settled down for a long contest and are
preparing to make a fight to the bitter
end.
Perhaps the most important develop
ment In the situation yesterday was
the announcement by the strikers' ex
ecutive committee that they will Insist
upon an increase of pay to twenty
cents an hour, and the abolishment of
the sliding scale.
Tho men have been receiving since
the last strike, a sliding scale of wages
runnhfg from fourteen to nineteen
cents an hour, new men to receive the
former figure during their first year
ond to be increased one cent an hour
per year until they receive nineteen
cents.
Under the contract each man was to
be given as neat- as possible a ten
hours' mil each day. Tho committee
claims that this last provision has nev
er been lived up to and that the aver
age run which each man gets Is about
eight hours and a half a day. One of
the leading members of the committee
volunteered the statement yesterday
afternoon that over sixty per cent, of
the men have been receiving $1.50 or
less per day ever since the contract
was entered into.
Hours Are Short.
"There are some of us," said he,
"who have been getting ten, twelve
and fourteen hours' work a day and
there are others who have been get
ting but five and six hours a day.
There are quite a few- men who have
been receiving as low as ninety cents a
day for several days at a stretch.
"We have decided to make a stand
for twenty cents an hour and the abol
ishment of the sliding scale. AVe feel
that it costs just as much to feed and
keep a new man as it does to feed
and keep an old mnn."
The committee havo decided to pre
sent no formal demand to the company
for the present. The members take
the position that if the company wants
them to go back to work It can send
for the committee and terms will then
be discussed. Neither will the com
mittee make any request for a confer
ence just yet.
National Board Member Beeves, who
Is acting as adviser to the executive
committee, said yesterday afternoon
lo a. Tribune man that the men would
simply make a determined light for
the present and would make no effort
to secure a. conference.
"I was very much surprised," said
he, "when I was told today that the
company had violated Its contract so
grossly in the arranging of runs, it
seems to show that when the officials
signed tho contract that had no inten
tion whatever of living up to it. Tlie
committee in declaring for twenty
cents an hour and the abolishment of
the sliding scale have done a wise
thing, in my opinion. It was a case
of fight next January or now, and the
members have decided to make tho
fight now, to decide once and for all
whether Dlvlson 1GS Is to llvo or die.
Offers of Support.
"The committee is in receipt of a
number of resolutions of endorsement
and offers of moral and financial sup
port from tho various trades unions of
tills city and naturally feel highly
pleased at the outlook.
"The committee desire it to be un
derstood by the public that no mem
ber of the union has made application
to go back to work for tho company
In pursuance with General Manager
Silllmiin's notice issued on Thursday.
If the company olllclals claim that
they have received applications from
nny of the strikers we deslro to brand
the statement as false,"
Five hundred circular copies of the
men's statement which appeared In
yesterday morning's Tribune, wero
printed yesterday and ono was mailed
to tho secretary of each of tho trades'
unions in tho county. No letter or
request of any character was sent with
tho circular.
"Wo nre not asking for asslstanco
just yet, because wo don't require it,"
said a commltteenuin, "Wo aro sim
ply desirous that tho Inhurin;; men of
f-is miIUv shall 5-now whero wo
stand."
Tho execlltlvo committee decided
yesterday afternoon to run as many
busses as they can possibly secure, A
man will be sent up tho valley this
morning to round up as ninny big con
veyances as posslblo and these will bo
run from tho central part of the city to
all thu suburbs.
Tho committee engaged thrco wag
ons yesterday to carry tho mailmen to
South Scranton, North Scranton and
Green Ridge. They collect five cents
from each matilmnii, but this doesn't
begin to pay tho hire of the wagons,
Tho balance Is paid out of tho union's
treasury.
MEN ARRANGING FOR
A MASS MEETING
The executive board is making prep
arations for the holding of a muss
meeting, to bo uddressed by President
Samuel Gompors. of the American Fed
eration of Labor, with which tho street
car men's national organization is af
filiated. The arrangements for this meeting
have not -ct been arranged, nor can
they be until President Uoiupers ar
rives and Is consulted. It was nt first
planned to have the meeting tonight,
but It Is believed now that It will not
be held until Monday night,
The company succeeded In running
about ten cars yesterday. Two of these
were ninll cars and the others were
Used to carry passengers. Not very
many people rode, however, but desplto
this fact tlio cars were run Up to 0
o'clock, They were manned by tho olll
clals of the company and by the six
non-union men who started at work un
Thursday.
Lines Operated,
The lines operated wero South Main
avenue, Green Bldge Suburban, Dun
more Suburban, Petersburg and Laurel
Hill. No nttempt has been made ns
yet to run curs lo North or South
Scranton or on tho Green ttlilge Peo
ple's line. The tracks on these linos
are pretty thoroughly blockaded nnd It
will require n great deal of' work to get
them cleared.
General Manager Sllllmnu, when seen
last night In his ofllce by u Tribune
man, said that the company would
have a great many cars running today.
"We succeeded In running ten cars
today," said he, "and hope to have a
great many more running tomoirow.
These men who are coming (In toulsht
will be put nt work In the morning.
AVe expect to be able to Blurt more curs
each day, until wo have our system
minting on regular time. I believe thnt
we. will have a fairly respectable ser
vice In operation by Monday."
Received Applications.
In response to an inquiry as, to
whether the company had received ap
plications from any of the strikers,
who are desirous of returning to work,
he replied:
"We have received several such ap
plications, both In person nnd In writ
ing. Of course, the strikers' committee
will deny this. The members of the
committee know nothing nbout it what
ever. "If a man sends us an application,
he isn't going to go around telling
about it. These strikers from whom
we have received applications will not
be put on the cars until It Is absolutely
safe for them to make their runs with
out danger."
TEAMSTER SMITH
CAUSED EXCITEMENT
Thomas Smith, a teamster, was ar
rested yesterday for blocking the
tracks on Lackawanna avenue yester
day morning. Just as the mail car, in
charge of Superintendent of Transpor
tation H. H. Patterson, reached the
Ontario and AVestern railroad station,'
Inward bound, Smith drove upon the
tracks with a wagon load of coal.
AVIth aggravating slowness he preceded
the ear across the AVest Lackawanna
avenue bridge, despite the clanging of
the car bell and the shouts of Mr. Pat
terson to turn aside.
At the Y, where the Delaware, Lack
awanna and AVestern railroad tracks
cross the avenue, Superintendent Pat
terson dismounted from the car and
led tho horse of the grinning teamster
off the track. Upon this, Boger Mc
Gownu, the gatenian at the A", is al
leged to have assaulted the superin
tendent with a wad of waste, besides
calling hint all sorts of vile names.
Smith could not get ball and spent the
night In the nollee station.
Both wero later arrested and taken
before Alderman Millar, who held them
under $.'00 ball each for court.
Crowd Gathered.
A large crowd wns attracted by the
excitement, but was quickly dispersed
by Patrolman Davis. It is interesting
to note that the Y is the Identical place
where tlie disturbance began Inst year.
Superintendent Patterson was also in
charge of tlio car at that time. Boys
secured potatoes from an open freight
car. standing on the Lackawanna rail
road siding, and bombarded the motor
man and conductor and car with tell
ing force. Teamsters blocked the tracks
and the progress up the avenue was
slow. The crowd Increased in numbers
and became more impulsive as the car
slowly proceeded. The upshot was an
attack on Superintendent Patterson,
followed by two sturdy strikers pulling
him from tho car and rushing hint
through the crowd into a saloon, before
the excited mob could injure hint.
