GOOD'S VERSION OF SHENANDOAH RIOT Believes That His Life Was Saved by Beddall's Action The Mob Bent on Mischief. By Exclushe Wire from The Associated Press. Pottsvllle, Pa., Aug. 1. Draughtsman George W. Good of this place, who was one of tho three men fhst attacked by strikers ut Shenandoah on Wednes day evening and which attack ended In the riot there gave out a lengthy state ment this evening in which he describes the mob's attacks upon himself and companions. He says he and his com panions had come from the Reading company's shops at Pottsvllle to look up some repairs to machinery at the West Shenandoah colliery. They were returning to the railroad station to take a train for Pottsvllle when they were surrounded and jostled by a big crowd of strikers. Continuing Good says that Deputy Sheriff Thomas Beddall interceding for them at this t!me saved their lives. The deputy urged the crowd to desist, telling them that the three men had not taken strikers places at the mine. The mob, grpw larger and larger and began to assault the men whereupon Deputy Beddnll drew out a copy of the riot act and began to read it. It was torn from his hand and the deputy was struck In the face by one of the crowd. He then drew his levolver and fired twice in the air, but, the mob con tinuing to close In, he emptied the re maining three shells at men who were beating Good and his companion. This caused the crowd to break away tem porarily and gave the deputy and the three men a chance to escape to the railroad station. He then describes the barricade in tl)e:;stntlon and their sub sequent escape on a locomotive as told In these despatches on tho night of the riot. Good is flimly' of the belief that he and his companion would have ben killed but for the action of Deputy Beddall. UNEASINESS AT STRIKE HEADQUARTERS Organizers Unable to Beach the Men at Work in Collieries of the Lackawanna Kegion. By Exclushe Wire (rom The Associated Press. Wllkes-Barre, Aug. 1. A large crowd of striking miners and their sympa thizers collected In the vicinity of the Sterling Coal company's washery at Plymouth today, expecting that opera tions would be resumed. But no at tempt was made to start the works and when this fact became generally known the crowd slowly dispersed. There Is some uneasiness at strike headquarters here over the continued operation of two collieries In the Lack awanna region. The organizers of the miners' union seem to be unable to reach the men employed at these mines. Another attempt will be made to stait work at tho Warlike washery nt Duryea on Monday, and Sheriff Jacobs has been notified that the workers will need protection. A machinist named John Loux, em ployed at the Empire colliery, this city, repotted to the police this even ing that while on his way to .work this morning a party of unknown men held him up and threatened to hang him to an electric light pole If he went to work. One man In the party let tho electric light down and proceeded to get' the rope In noose shape when the machinist lied and made his escape. MITCHEXL ON HIS ATTITUDE. Reply to Wllkes-Barre Citizens' Alli ance Silent on Injunction Suit. By ExclusUc Who (rom The Awoilatcil I'reii, Wllkes-Barre, Pa Aug. 1. President Mitchell, of the miners' union, started to work early today upon a reply to tho open letter addressed to him yes terday by 'the Citizens' alliance of Wllkes-Barre, nn organization made up of business and professional men and others. In an address at tho conven tion of mlneis of tho First dlstilct of tho United Mlno Workers, held at Nun tlcoke home weeks ago, Mr, Mitchell criticized the alliance, saying It was not consistent. It wanted to prosecute all miners who violated tho law, ho said, hut overlooked the many viola tions of tho law committed every day by tho coal combination. The alliance replied In an open letter, In which they enumerated imiuy out rages said to have been committed by strikers and others In tho coal region since the strike began. Mr, Mitchell was called upon to define his position and to Issue a proclamation to his fol lowers, warning them to keep on the side of law and order, He mailn no reply to the letter, Yesteiday tho alli ance Issued another open letter to tho labor chief, and, ufter consulting with his advisers, Mr, Mitchell decided to answer 1(. In his reply ho tukes the ground that he hadalwuys been a staunch defender of law and order and that his follow ers know t, He says: Permit mo to euy that I do not recog. nlzu your right to make demand upon me k to specifically declare, myself opposed to any speclnl clnsscn of lawlessness As a citizen of tho United States and the chief executive of tho miners' organization I have declared on Innumerable occasions and In languago not susceptible of ml-con-structlon that I am opposed to lawless ness of every character; and I do not propose to alter my views to conform to the tenets of the Citizens' Allluncc, name ly, wink nt capital crimes while Inveigh ing against minor offenses. I hnvo never in my llfo sought to condone nn Mnlawful act. I have thrown the full weight of my personality and Influence nn the ride of law and order, and I can sny,' without egotism, that the miners' union and Its nfllcers have done more for the conserva tion of peaco than all the citizens' alli ances that have been or could be formed by men llko yourselves, whn,.o sympathy with the poor and oppressed Is like unto the friendship Brutus entertained for Cncnr. 1 do not assume, to sny that there have not been some transgressions of law by members of the miners' union, but I do sny, and defy you to successfully contra dict tho statement, that thcro hns been much less lawlessness on tho part of tho miners and that which has occurred been less serious In proportion to their numbers, than on the part of deputies and coal and Iron police, who are charged with authority and are specifically com missioned to preserve the law, and ngnlnst whom you have made no protest and your association taken no action whatsoever. And, further, the records In tho police courts will demonstrate that a smaller number of miners hn'c been con victed of crime in the nnthrnclte mining towns during the progress of tho strike than for a llko period preceding it. Again, I have no hesitancy in saying that there never was a great upheaval, either social, political or Industrial, in which there was us little real lawlessness as has existed In the anirucltc region since the strike was Inaugurated. As I said In my speech nt Nantlcokc to which you took exception the miners are law abiding, as patriotic, as liberty-loving as any other clas of citizens In our country, nnd I shall not permit you to malign them or defame the residents of this com munity, cither by direct charge or Insinu ation without registering un emphatic protest. Mr. Mitchell had nothing to say with reference to the suit in equity brought against him nnd other national officers of the United Mine Workers by a coal company In West Virginia. PRESIDENT FAHY REGRETS THE VIOLENCE In Spite of All, He Still Thinks That Order Can Be Preserved Without Troops. By Exclusive Wire from The Atsociateil Press. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 1. President John Fahy, of District No. 9, United Mine Workers, which Includes Shenan doah, arrived here tonight from Shamo kln and held a conference with the dis trict leaders on the ground. Mr. Fahy made a statement, in which he details at greiut length the efforts the miners made to prevent trouble In Schuylkill county. He said he greatly deplored the tioubls, because up to that time the conduct of the stilkers had been the admiration of the country, He told of the Intention of Sheriff Beddall to issue a proclamation pn June 18, cull ing on all citizens to preserve the peace and of the mine workers' adice to him not to do it, on the ground that theie was no occasion for it, as no trouble was then existing. The' proclamation was not issued, on the promise that the mine workers would dt everything In their power to preserve the peace. On the night of the riot here, President Fahy received the following telegram from the sheriff: "Reported mine workers have my deputy prisoner. Huve him released immediately and disorder stopper, or I shall use urgent measures." President Fahy icplied that he would "gladly try to do everything" he usked, and then the district piesident sent a telegram to the advisory board at Shenandoah, informing them of the sheriff's telegram, and adding: "I have answered the sheriff and told -him I would do all I could, und I now ask that this be done and that the deputy be released, and that all disorder be stopped at once, and I call on all mem bers of the United Mine Workers to at once do all they can to have this car ried Into effect Immediately," Mr. Fahy said he immediately got In touch with Shenandoah and did all he could to have the mlneis bring about order. Continuing Mr. Fuhy said: "I feel positive that had the advice of the mine workers to cope with the situation themselves been taken there would have been no riot. From the press It seems that the operators are jubilant because of the trouble In Shen andoah, but It seems to me that such Jubilation simply strengthens the Idea of the whole thing being a, scheme to get troops here. The whole world knows that the. mlno workers did not want either the violation of law or anything thut would cause the tioops to come and any scheme to hoodwink and fool Governor Stone into sending them and placing the responsibility on tho mine workers Is wrong und of It self Is just' cause why the governor should withdraw the troops nnd not commit either himself or the taxpayers of the state to be victims pf such schemes. It might be true thut the presence of troops would make more business but It Is a wrong way to got business. There is nut the slightest doubt In my mind but thut we could pieserve peace If the troops were with drawn, I feel more suie now of win ning the strike than over before." RIOT NARROWLY AVERTED. ' Prompt Appearance of the Sheriff Quells Disturbance. By EjclmUc Ire from The AksotlateJ press. Mt. Carme), Pa., Aug, 1, A riot was narrowly averted at the Locust Springs colliery last night by the .prompt ap pearance of the sheriff, Samuel Dlet rlck, of Northumberland county.

A squad of cpal and Iron police guarded their colleague, and their rllles were pointed ut the strikers wh'en the sheriff arrived and Induced the strikers to disperse on the piomlto that he would ' hand the man tl)ey wauted over tothe proper authorities. BALDWIN BACK PROM ARCTIC The Members of the Polar Expedi tion Are Baffled but Not Beaten. BRIEF REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S OPERATIONS Leader Says He Has Established De pots Which Will Enable Him to Make Large Dash for the Pole in 1903 Found Nansen's Hut Took Moving Picture of Artie Life. Despatched Fifteen Balloons With Three Hundred Messages. By Exclusive Wire from Ihe Associated Press. Honnlngsvaag, Norway, Aug. 1. Evelyn B. Baldwin, the Artie explorer, arrived here today. He reported all his men In good health and said: "We have been baffled, but not beaten." Mr. Baldwin continues as follows: "The year's work has been successful In that- enormous depots of condensed food have been established by mean3 of sledges, one in Rudolf Land, within sight of the Italian expedition head quarters, another In latitude 81 degrees, 33 minutes and a third at Kane Lodge, Greely Island. These depots, together with horses and stores 'left .at Camp Zlezuer, will afford the means for a large Polar dash In 1903. "Al channels through Franz Josef Land remained blocked with Ice during the autumn of 1901 and prevented the establishment of depots by steamship last year. "The breaking up of the Ice early In June compelled the use of reserve sup plies, hence the departuie from Camp Zleguer on July 1 In order not to Im peril the expedition. "I despatched fifteen balloons with 300 messages and in June I obtained the llrst moving picture of Artie life. I also discovered Nansen's hut, recover ing original documents and securing paintings of the hut. Marine collec tions for the National museum. Includ ing new charts, etc., were obtained. "In the field work 30 men, 13 ponies, 00 sledges and 170 dogs were employed fiom Jan. 21 to May 21, and this severe work resulted in the destruction of sledges and depletion of the food for pontes and dogs, thus rendering our, re turn Imperative. "I shall remain at Tromsoe a week for repairs to the America's rudder and piopeller frame, which were broken by the Ice on the return voyage. The main anchor was lost during a gale In October " Mr. Baldwin sailed from Vardoe', Norway, on July 7,1902, under command of William S. Champ, to join him. DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

Rtkuiv renca ot Shocks. , ' NOT FREE PROM TERROR DAY OR NIGHT The Hills Send Forth Strange Noliet. Those Who Remain in Their Homi Prepared to Flee on a Moment's Notice Landslides, in ' iif Hilli Caused by the Earthquake Theory of Cause of Disturbance. By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press. Los Alamos, Cal., Augr. 1. The re ports sent out from this 'place. and other sections of Santa. Barbara and San Luis Obispo county, telling of the enormous damage 'done here -by -the series of earthquakes, which have 'vis ited this county, and this vlclrdfy In particular, at frequent intervals since July 27, have been grossly. exaggerated. It ls an undeniable fact that there has been an unprecedented number of earthquakes, some of them more or less severe, but as to the reports o'f .great fissures in the earth, upheaval of the earth and similar Btorles of the havoo wrought, It is only charitable to ay that they are untrue. Within the lim its of Los Alamos the property dam age will. not exceed $4,000. ' -Several slight shocks' were experi enced this morning, but did .no dam age beyond further, dismaying the in habitants of this little t6wn. No earthquake shocks have been felt t here since '7.30 o'clock last night, but the Inhabitants remain panic, striken. Those who have not fled 'from their homes are preparing to rim at 'p, sec ond's notice. Parties from Lompoc and outlying district have reached Los Alamos with stories of 1 havoc In the hills.1. A great landslide carrying down hundreds of. tons of earth occurred' near the Hoover ranch. The road from Lompoc Is burled for fifty feet. As far, as the eye" can reach from his grade there, are spots on the mountain side 'Indicating that huge boulders were sent thundering down the valleys. ' Strange Sounds in Hills. '' John B. Drum, a mountain farmer, reports a road destroying landslide In Drum canyon. The hills are sending 'forth noises which Drum describes as the most terrifying sound" he. ever heard. The oil wells around the town of Los Alamos seem not to have, suffer ed. fc Since the beginning of the earth quake shocks, the temperature has been most oppressive, as much heat appar ently coming from tlife earth as from the sun. San Francisco, Aug, 1. John H. Con way, who has made a life study of the geology of the locality, believes that the recent seismic disturbances here are In no way due to volcanic activity, but occasioned by local conditions. His theory is that the earthquakes are oc casioned by subsidences caused by the action of the subterranean gases and oils in which the region Is known to abound. It has been known for years that gas was being generated beneath the earth's surface in the vicinity of Los Alamos. Prof. Slllman, of Yale, in 1866 put for ward that theory, and added that he had nowhere seen such evidence of the presence of hydro-carbons. That was substantiated lately by F. McMillan, a San Francisco mining engineer. For many years there has been a small, active volcano on the Los Ala mos side of the mountain, which lies between that place and Santa Bar bara. Smoke and steam constantly Is sue from various fissures along the summit of the plateau or shelf near the northern slope of the mountain. Viewed from the distance of the old stage road, these manifestations appear like small camp fires. They have never de veloped any alarming tendencies, and have attracted very little direct inves. tigatlon. Trainmen Censured, By Exclusive Wire from The Aworlated Press. Rochester, N. Y Aug. 1.
