DEATHBED STATEMENT
OP JOSEPH BEDDALL
The Murdorod Man Was Unarmed
and Did Not Carry Ammunition
for His 1 Brother Deputy Sheriff
Thomas E. Beddall Did Not Uso
His Pistol TJntil He Had Been As
saulted Several Times The First
Shot Fired In the Air Shenandoah
Is Quiet General Gobin's Crcter.
By Exclusho Wire from The Associated 1'rcss.
Shenandoah, Aug. 1. This was an
uneventful day in Shenandoah and sur
rounding country. Absolute quiet con
. tlnues to prevail everywhere, and the
general feeling of uneasiness Is rapidly
disappearing. The troops spent the
day in perfecting their camp arrange
ments and comparatively few of them
were In town. None are permitted out
of camp after dark.
There was much sympathy expressed
today by the elUzons generally over
the death last night of Joseph Beddall
as a result of Injuries iccclvcd In the
riot of "Wednesday night. He was well
known In the business community. His
funeral will take place on Monday af
ternoon, and he will be buried with
Masonic honors. The Rev. W. H. Stew
art, of the 'William Penn Methodist
Episcopal church, who will have charge
of the religious services at the funeral,
said today that Beddall on his death
bed denied that he was carrying am
munition to his brother, Thomas, the
deputy sheriff, who was oesieged in
the raihoad htatlon where the trouble
occurred. It had been reported by some
unknown persons that he had several
boxes of pistol cartridges in his pocket
which he was trying to deliver to his
'hi other, and that as a result of this,
the crowd attacked him. The Injured
man said ho did not go there to pro
tect his brother, but that his only
thought was for his brother's safety.
The inquest on the death of Beddall
was begun today, and after four wit
nesses had been examined the further
taking of te&tlmony was postponed un
til next Thursday. According to the
testimony of Dr. J. ( Blddle, of the
Mlneis' hospital,- Beddall received a
terrible heating at the hands of the
mob. Tho direct caus-e of death was
a fracture of the skull four and a half
Inches long and one inch wide. Be
sides this the unfortunate man sus
tained other serious fractures and con
tusions. It was brought out at the In
quest that he did not uso a revolver.
Story of the Siot.
Two witnesses told the htory of the
riot. It was brought out that Deputy
Sheriff Thomas K. Beddall, who was
escorting the three workmen from the
colliery, did not use his pistol until
after he had been assailed several times
by a shower of rocks and bricks. Ills
first shot was fired Into' the air and his
ueeond into the ground. Theie were
more than a hundred men in the crowd
and many of them carried clubs.
Qoroner A. L. Oillars, of Pottsvllle,
5s having some difficulty in finding wit
nesses who will admit they knew the
persons who Indicted the Injuries on
Beddall.
Dlsi 'ct Attorney M. P. McLaughlin,
nt P dsvllle, Is assisting the coroner
"' lit an advisory capacity. It Is under
stood that a private Investigation by
tne coal company Is In progress, In ad
dition to the county's Inquiry.
i Brigadier General Gobln said that
while everything Is quiet, there Is a
fpeling of unrest among the great army
if idle men and boys. Tho general will
Xiot talk about the length of the stay
of the guards, but it Is believed at bri
gade headquarters that tho soldiers will
' Btny here for some time, or possibly
until the end of the strike. .
Targets will be put tomorrow against
the culm banks, and It Is the hope of
General Gobln to qualify as marksmen
ut least two regiments of tho men now
In camp. He says ho intends to make
the most of tho opportunity to Increaso
tlje efficiency of the men.
.. General Gobin's Order.
The following general order was Is
sued from brigade headquarters today:
Tlio bilgudlcr general commanding de
sires to commend the ofllccis and men of
the beveral commands now hi camp at
Shenandoah for their pinmpt response to
the call for duty and tho rapid concen
tration whoio their services uuio ro
qulrcd. It Is most commendable and can
hot fall to establish to a still greater ox
tent the confidence of tho people in tho
efficiency and reliability of tho troops of
this brigade,
Tho utmost caro and observance of dis
cipline Is enjoined upon all. The pecu
liar character of tho service requhed en
deis it necessary for ofllccis and men to
be constc My teady to lospond to what
ever may requhed of them. Tho visi
tation to baloons and di inking places by
officers and men Is strictly piohlblted,
and violations of this nider will bo jlgldly
dealt with. Tho good name and reputa
tion thu3 far achieved can only bo main
tained by stilct observance of military
law and the samo adheicnco to duly al
ways required of boldlora.
By command of
Brlg,-Geii. J. p. S. Gobln.

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."

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',

of William S. Champ, to join him.

JOB AT RACES
UNEARTHED
Judges by Prompt Action Save
Innocent Speculators on
Grand Circuit.
i
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Columbus, O., Aug, 1. The judges at
the Grand Circuit races today un
earthed a job in the $5,000 stake for
2.20 pacers and by prompt action saved
Innocent speculators who had backed
the field, a large sum of money. Se
vere punishment was meted out to the
guilty party, Driver Tom Stuard, and
the horse, Elderone, being suspended
for one year. The 2.20 pace was tho
feature of a good card. There were six
starters, but Greenline and Elderone
were conceded to have the race be
tween them. Greenline won the first
heat with ease, In 2.09, slow time over
the track, which was lightning fast.
The second heat was won by Elder
one, who paced a beautiful mile In
2.05'4, cutting his record by four sec
onds. The original betting had been
Greenline $100 and the field $30. Elder
one's showing in the second heat pro
duced -the desired effect on the odds,
which now switched to '$30 on Green
line and $50 on the Meld. The third
heat went to Greenline In 2.10U, Stuard
maklng.no effort with Elderone. When
the horses came out for the fourth
heat, the judges ordered Stuard out of
the sulky and put Valentine, a local
trainer, and driver, up behind Elder
one. Elderone took the fourth heat In
2.06, outpacing ' Greenlln-ln the
stretch. In the firth heat,f Elderone
went to the break in the first tuYn and
could not be set to pacing again. He
finished behind the flag with a broken
hopple, which investigation showed had
been cut nearly through before the heat
started. The judges declared all bets
off, placed Elderone fourth, Instead of
distanced, in the lasb heat, suspended
Stuard and the horse Elderone for one
year and fined Driver Hudson $100 for
not trying to win the last heat with
Tertimen, Valentine was' awarded $200
for driving Elderone, the amount to be
taken from the horse's share of the
purse. Elderone is the pacer who fin
ished second to Direct Hal in the

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.
