EXPLAINS REMARKS
Holds ( the United Mine Workers
Responsible for the Death of
Joseph Beddall.
By lixrlmlve Wire from The Associated l'rrs.
WIlkes-Baire, Aug. 7. The Times
this evening mints the following:
Rev. H, P. O'Reilly, of Shenandoah,
who delhered a lather sensational ser
mon against the Mine Workers "on Sun
day last, was Interviewed by a reporter,
to whom he explained his ternaries. He
was asked:
"You aie being severely criticized lor
some of the statements you made In
your seimon on Sunday morning. Huve
you anything to say in reply thereto?"
"I am awaie that I am being harshly
ciiticlzed In some ((natters, but hero at
home 1 feel confident thut I have the
confidence and sympathy of the luw
nbldlng people. I have no desire to
pose us a guide for this cntlie com
munity, undi my lemntks on Sunday
weie dliected to my own people more
puitleulaily In tho hope that my woids
might cause them to be guided by their
own sober judgment. My words can
have little effect upon the cilmlnally
Inclined, of whom theie uro many In
this community, but they may fall as
seed sown on fertile ground to the largo
number of people In my flock who ate
not pos. essed of the splilt ot devllMy,
but who ate misguided by (responsible
leadeis."
"What did you meun when you said
tho Mluo Wotkeis Is a blood-stained
organUutlon, and thut It will be blood
stained until It ceases to exist; that It
was formed to promote crime and pio
teet cilmlnals?"
"That statement was overdrawn, I
udmlt, and yet the death of Joseph
Beddall must be laid nt the door of the
otguuUutlon, The moral responsibility
for it cannot be removed fiom the
shouldeis of (ho leadeis by an expla
nation. Has the oiganlzatlon given
utteianco to a single expiesslon of con
demnation? The crime was committed
by membeis of the organization under
unlawful conditions tolerated by tho
organization; an oiganlzatlon made up
of a mlxtuie of jaces and tongues, that
prosecutes its business In the darkness,
obtnlns Its strong membership by co
ercion, and exacts an obligation that
does not permit the cxctclsc of ftec
judgment, and Is not such an organiza
tion as should be commended to tho
public us being an exemplary body of
society. The Catholic c lunch Is op
posed to secret orders of this character,
and so am 1,"
"Do you think jour remarks linve a
tendency to cause the men to break
fiom the union and teturn to work?"
"I cannot say. I nddiessed my re
marks to my people. They are mostly
English speaking- people. There Is not
much Inclination to commit crime
among our people. There Is no deny
ing tho fact, howevei1, that there Is a
large body ot lawless men here and
elsewhere In the region made up prin
cipally of foielgners. As long us they
ate willing to penult women and chll-.
dron to starve or go hungiy thete is no
telling how long present conditions will
continue. If the people of the region
will speak us they think, the trouble
will soon be over. The lellef scheme Is
a fnilutc. The total funds lecelved here
so far will not leuch to give each work
lngman n dollar. The community is
assured peace as long as the military
remains hole, and I am Inclined to be
lieve th.it the soldleis will stay until
normal conditions prevail once more."

MR. MORGAN'S
OFFER TAKEN
It Is Reported That Govern
ment Accepts Ship
Trust.
By ExcIusUe Wire from The Associated Press.
London, Aug. 7. Replying in the
house of commons today to a lequcst
of Lord Charles Beresford for assur
ance that no binding agreement would
be concluded between tho government
and the shipping combination without
tho agreement being appiovcd by par
liament, the premier, A. J. Balfour,
said:
"I do not think it possible to negoti
ate on this or any other subject if the
proposed terms are to bo publicly dis
cussed bcfoic the government has
agreed to them. The government, how
ever, is most anxious to take tho house
Into its confidence at the earliest pos
sible moment."
Mr. Balfour's reply has particular In
terest, as Belfast dispatches today an
nounce that the government acrepted
J. Pierpont Morgan's- offer to glVe the
admiralty a claim on the combination's
ships. As evidence of the acceptance,
It is said that the goveinment has
chartered the Corinthia, the first ship
built for the trust and which has just
been completed at the Harlund-Wolf
shipyards.
Responses to inquiries made here
show that the belief is general that J.
Plerpont Morgan's offer practically lias
been accepted by the government. The
Belfast dispatch may slightly antici
pate the technicalities required to close
the agreement, or may not allow for
changes Inserted snee the offer was
mude originally, but there appears to
be little doubt that the spirit of the
scheme Is acceptable to the cabinet.
J. P. Morgan & Co., when asked con
cerning the reported agreement, adopt
ed the same non-committul attitude as
the premier, Mr. Balfour, in the house
of commons.

ARREFTED FOR MURDER
OF DANIEL SWEENEY
Three Companions of the Murdered
Man Are Accused of the Crime.
Plenty of Evidence.
By Inclusive W ire from The Associated Tress.
Wilkes-Bnt re, Aug. 7. Three men
have been ai rested In connection with
tho murder of Watchman Daniel J.
Sweeney, of Nantlcoke. Those in cus
tody are Ignatz Shukis, Michael Yush
ko and Joseph Smith. The latter Is a
Polander, while tho other two nto
Lithuanians. After a hearing before
"Squire Kutzkl they were brought to
this city and placed In the county jail.
Theie is more than mete suspicion
back of this airest, in fact, from the
developments s,ince last evening's hear
ing it looks as If the men ai rested are
the parties that committed the terrible
deed.
County Detective Jones' and Chief
Adamson, of the Delawaie, Lacka
wanna and Western detective forced
who went to work on the case shortly
after Sweeney's dead body was found,
made the airest and It is believed have
testimony In their possession very
damaging to the accused.
'Squire Kutzkl, In order to avoid a
crowd and possibility of a demonstra
tion, gave the prisoners a hearing in
an open field. Only the detectives and
a few witnesses were present. What
developed at this heating has not yet
been made public, but It was later
learned that the men deny participat
ing in the crime, although they admit
being in Melarie saloon with Sweeney
during the evening. TI19 detectives
have witnesses to prove thnt the men
left the place with Sweeney and an
other witness, Charles Corner, will
swear that he saw thtee men tunning
from a point near Krlslcky's house In
front of which the dead body was
found.
It was almost 10 o'clock Tuesday
night when Sweeney enteied Melurle's
saloon and he was about ,to drink a
glass of beer when Smith entered and
was soon followed by the otheis.
Sweeney Invited the foreigners to take
a drink and they accepted. He ngaln
treated all hands and then 'announced
that he was going home. The others
left the place with him nnd that was
the last seen of the man alive. There
Is a diffeience of opinion ns to whether
or not Sweeney was Intoxicated on
enteilng the saloon. Some claim that
ho had been drinking since afternoon,
nnd was not sober w;hen he went Into
Melnrle's saloon. The evidence so far,
although strong, Is wholly clicumstan
tlal. It Is said, however, that theie is dl
lect evidence in sight, and Detective
Jones is working towards thnt end.
County Detective Jones nnd Chief Ad
amsnn, of the Lackawanna force, aie
worthy ot a gient deol of praise for
their promptness nnd energy In woik
Ing up tho case, for few muideis have
occmred in Luzerne county wheio nr-
tests followed so quickly as In the
piesent one.
The funeinl of Mr, Sweeney will take
place from the fnmlly lesldence on Fri
day afternoon and Interment will be in
Sugar Notch cemetery.
