with rilles and revolvers, t took the
weapons from them."
"Were you fired at when you ap
proached the stockade?" asked acting

don't know who it was."
"Did you have any trouble with a
guard over a gun?"

On cross examination of Mr. Lena
han, Mr. Cosgrove said he has been
chief for five months.
"Where Is you brother, the one who
climbed over the stockade and caused
the trouble?"
"Which brother? I have several
brothers."
"Where Is this particular brother?"
"He Is home now,"
"What is his name?"
After several evasive answers the
chief said he heard It was Prank.
Attorney McGuigan objected to s-onio
questions about the Warnke washery,
)nnd previous dist
Lennhnn (-aid:
"I piopose to pic
sturbances, and Mr.
love that this chief
, was the worst rioter of them all."
Denied Previous Riots.
Tho witness denied that there' had
been previous riots and I.enahan asked:
"Were not men there ready to go to
woik a week ago, and were stopped?"
"I did not see any," replied Cosgrove.
"When did you see Mr, Warnke be
fore this riot?"
"I saw him a couple of weeks before,
I saw George on the day of the riot."
"Didn't Fred ask you for protection
and didn't you toll him to 'go to hell'?"
"No, elr."
"Was not there a crowd about the
washery the morning of the riot?"
"There was about 100 people,"
"What was the sheriff's deputies do
ing there?"
"To disperse tho crowd,"
"What was the crowd doing?"

crowd."
"I can't remember anv."
''Were there stones thrown?"
''Yes, after the shAs were fired,"
"Who hit Georgo Warnke, this young
man?" asked Mr. Lenahan, showing
young Warnke, who was cut with
stones.
"I don't know. He was struck while
under arrest."
Attorney I.enahan showed wounds on
Warnko'a bead and face and said that
all tho men Injured were assaulted and
beaten after being under arrest,
Mr, Cosgrove denied It and I.enuhan
called another toul guard named Smith,
who was Injured, but Cosgrovo did not
'recognize him.
Mr. Lenuluin'a examination was very
eeurchlng and beyere, but the witness
was reserved In his testlmony8 and did
not make u very good witness,
"Why dd you arrest tho workmen at
that washery V" usked Lenuhun.
V
.x
HELD "M BAIL
"For hnvlng firearms."
"Did you llnd uny firearms on the
workmen V"
"No. sir."
"Then why did you arrest them?"
"Because they were there."
"YesTdust because they were working
there V'Vadded Lenahan.
"No, that was not the reason."
"Are not all the windows broken?"
"Three or four sashes In the office,"
"Who broke them,"
"1 don't know."
"Didn't you arrest this nroman?"
"1 believe I did."
"Did not he protest about the danger
of leaving his fires, and did not you
say: 'To hell with your fires, you had
no . business coming down here to
work'?"
"I said no such a thins."
"Did not you bring this young man
down," pointing to young George
Warnke, "and didn't the warden refuse
to receive him?"
"I brought him down."
"Didn't you arrest this young man
because he testified that he saw your
brother climb over the barricade, and
that when he was driven off he re
turned with two "stones?''
"No, sir; I did not arrest him for
that."
After some further questions Chief
Cosgrove was dismissed.
Thomas Joyce, the prosecutor, who
Is president of the borough council,
was the next witness. He swore:
"1 saw three of the guards shooting
at the crowd who were running away."
"How were these men armed?"
"They appeared to be armed with
Winchester rifles."
The witness was asked to point out
some of the guards, and selected Harry
Dickson, F. M. Kinney and Harry
Goodrich.
The witness, on cross examination,
told of complaints about the washery
trough which crossed the street and
was a nuisance.
Mr. Lenahan said the trough re
mained there for years and that this
was a ba,se conspiracy to prevent Mr.
Warnke from operating his washery.
"What was the ciowd doing there?"
asked Mr. Lenahan.
He Locates "Scabs."
"They were laughing and joking
about the scabs."
"About hcabs? Who are scabs?"
"Those men who took other men's
places."
"Did notyou Jbaknt threat that all
the men In the lock-up should be
killed?"
"No, sir; I did not."
"You sent a telegram to the gover
nor not to send troops?"
"Yes, I did."
"You swore out warrants against the
iWendants, did you?"
"Yes, after the shooting. I did not
know their names and swore warrants
out tor John Doe."
"You arrested the crowd un that one
warrant?"
"Yes; we got their names and Issued
another warrant when we got them In
the lock-up."
After some further questions, the wit
ness denied that Mr. Warnke was pre
vented from starting his washery and
added that be could start it any time
without molestation if he could control
his guards.
Could Not Bemember Rioters.
Mr. Joyce said he lived at Duryea for
fifteen years, but could not give the
names of any In the crowd.
Frederick Warnke, the owner of the
washery where the Uot occurred, says
the acquittal of the deputies will Justify
him In starting up the washery again
and he has served notlve on Sheriff
Jacobs that If he does not provide ample
protection for his woikmen and property
on Wednesday he will make an appeal
to the governor for troops,
The beginning of the fifteenth week
of the strike shows no apparent change
In the situation. It was thought that
the Lehigh Valley company would start
their Maltby colliery today and early
this morning a number of strikers
gathered In the vicinity of the mine but
no effort was made to resume work.
Judge Halsey received a postal card
from Washington, D, C, today. The
writer signs himself Herman Mueller,
United States minister of war and mar
shal!. Mueller threatens to send United
States tioops Into the strike region and
he will not remove them until the
United Stntes'nibltratlon law Is obeyed.
The strike may have unsettled the writ
er's mind.

STRIKER SHOT
AT LANSFORD
A Clash Between Miners and
Deputies Results
Fatally.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
, Nesquehonlng1, Pa., Aug. 18. In a
clash between striking mine workers
and deputies here tonight, Patrick
Sharp, a striker, of Lansford, was shot
and almost instantly killed, by a
deputy. The shooting caused consider
able excitement for a time, but order
was soon restored without any other
persons being injured and the town is
now quiet. A deputy named Harry
McElmoyle was arrested charged with
the killing of Sharp and was taken
to the county jail at Mauch Chunk. The
shooting occurred shortly after 6
o'clock. Five deputies were on their
way to shaft No. 1, of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company just outside
of the town. In the center of the town
they were met by a number of strikers
who began persuading them not to
go to the colliery. The officers did not
stop but kept on their way and tried
to prevent any trouble. The strikers,
it Is said, then began to abuse the
men and followed up near to the col
liery. Theie are conflicting stories as
to what actually brought on the clash,
but just before the deputies entered
the place a shot was heard and Sharp
dropped to the ground. The bullet en
tered his body o'os- to'bls-heart and he
died almost instantly. Witnesses say
that the shooting was done by McEl
moyle and that he stood only six or
seven feet from Sharp when he fired
his revolver. Only one shot was fired.
The deputies immediately withdrew to
the colliery and a large crowd gathered
about the place. When it was learned
that Sharp was dead there was the
greatest indignation among the strikers
and other townpeople, and for a time It
looked as though serious trouble would
follow. Cooler heads among the mine
workers, however, prevailed upon the
crowd to disperse, using the atgument
that If there is any bloodshed troops
would surely be sent heie from Shen
andoah. The crowd dispersed and the
town soon calmed down to Its normal
state.
Witnesses to the shooting went to
the oftice of W. R. Watklns, the jus
tice of the peace and made informa
tion against Harry McElmoyle charg
ing him with the shooting of Sharp.
The justice placed the warrant in the
hands of Constable Dockert who found
McElmoyle at Shaft No. 1 and accom
panied by a guard of other officers took
his prisoner to the county jail at Mauch
Chunk.
Sheriff J. II. Gombert, of this (Car
bon) county, Is at Mauch Chunk, It
is reported that he may ask that de
tatehment of the tioops now stationed
at Shenandoah be sent Into the Panther

Placed Under Arrest for Refusing

Unauthorized Schools.
By Kxcluslve Wire fiom The Associated Presn.
Brest, France, Aug. 18. The attempt
made by the authorities today to cloie
the sisters' schools at Ploudaniel, Fol
goet and St. Meen, the last villages In
Uritanny where unauthorized schools
were still open, Is meeting with deter
mined resistance. The inhabitants
were on guard throughout the night,
and the tocsin was sounded when the
approach of the gendarmes and troops
were signalled at 9 o'clock In the morn
ing. At Ploudaniel, In spite of a heavy
fall of rain, a crowd numbering sev
eral thousand people replied with hoots
to the summons of the police commis
saries, while the ringing of church and
school bells drowned the voices of the
officials. When an attempt was made
to force the barricaded door it failed,
the defenders in the meanwhile cry
ing, "Judas," and singing Breton
hymns, mingled with cheers for liberty
and shouts of "Down with Combes."
The commissaries tried to attack the
school by the garden wall, which they
ordered the soldiers to breach. This
was done in the midst of showers of
filth and muddy water from the de
fenders, who manned the breach, armed
with clubs, and prevented the commis
saries from penetrating into the gar
den. The soldiers attempted to scale
the wall with the aid of a pile of
faggots, but the defenders deluged the
faggots with petroleum and set them
on fire, whereupon the commissaries
and troopsdrew off, amidst cheers for
liberty nnd 'for the sisters.
At St. Meen, the sisters were ex
pelled and the school was closed, after
a two hours' struggle, during which a
police commissary was wounded.
Later, after a long resistance, the
closing of the school at Ploudaniel was
effected by the authorities.
The school at Folgoet was also
closed.
After the repulse at the garden wall
of the school at Ploudaniel, the commis
saries decided to await reinforcements.
Tn the meantime, Senator Pichon and
Counsellor General Soublgou persuaded
the defenders of the school to open the
door.
After this had been done, the sisters
walked to the church and were given
an ovation by the crowd. The com
missaries entered the school and made
an Inventory of the property. They
then sealed the doors.
In the course of the rioting, two gen
dasmes were slightly wounded. The
leading Inhabitants of Ploudaniel have
taken the expelled sisters to their
homes. Similar, though less violent,
t-cenes, attended the closing of the
schools and the expulsion of the sisters
nt Folgoet and St. Mnen.
