ARRESTS ARE
TO BE MADE

It Is Alleged That Two Employes of
tho Company Were Held Up on the
Highway and Placed Under Arrest
Without Cause Letter That Has
Been Sent to President John Mit
chell by the North American Coal
Company Number of Arrests Were
Mado Yesterday.
The ofllelals of the Temple Iron corn
puny are threatening to take legal ac
tion ngiiiust the police authorities of
Duryca, on account of ilia arrest of
two of their employes nt the Babylon
colliery, and It Is very likely that on
thu return this morning of General
Manager S. 15, Thome from New York,
proceedings will be Instituted.
Counsel hns been consulted and tho
company nfllchils are fully determined
to push the matter. The company has
had about eighteen men nt work pump
ing out tho colliery, during the past
three weeks. Saturday afternoon one
of the special police, Max Plant, and
n cook, Julius Morgan, who had been
away from the colliery since the morn
ing, started to walk back to work from
tho Duryca station. They claim they
had only walked u short distance when
(i crowd gathered around them.
Ono man, who appeared possessed of
some legal authority, elbowed his way
through the mass of men and, an
nouncing himself ns a constable, re
marked: "You fellers got any guns on
you?"
THEY WICHE ARRESTED.
Both men were armed, but not wish
ing to cause any trouble by a display
of their firearms, denied thnt they had
any on them. They were promptly
seized and searched, and when the
weapons were found, were hurried to
the Duryea jail. They say that they
were granted no hearing, and were only
released on paying a line.
Today will bo characterized by a re
sumption of work at the Avondale col
liery or the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad company, near Ply
mouth. Officials of .the Lackawanna
coal department stated yesterday that
unless something unforseen should oc
cur, work would be resumed today with
a force of about fifty men. A small
amount of work was done there yester
day, and work will be resumed In earn
est this morning.
All was quiet yesterday at the mine
workers' headquarters. President T. D.
Nicholls was absent, and Secretary
Treasurer John T. Dempsey, who was
Indisposed the latter part of last week,
was back at work again. President
Nicholls was in Newark yesterday and
addressed a public meeting there last
night.
TO START WASHERY.
The following is a copy of a letter de
livered yesterday to John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America:
Mr. John Mitchell. President United
Mine Workers of America, Wllkes-
Dnrre, Pa.
Sir: Relying upon tho sincerity of your
oft-repeated stntemcntH that you, as
president, and the ofllelals of the United
Mine Workers of America, are opposed to
Intimidation, violence and any and every
kind of lawlessness, and as It appears
you have counseled its members to strict
compliance with the law at all times, this
company proposes to resume work at Its
National washery at South Scranton on
or about the 27th Inst., and to ship to
market IN product of steam sizes of an
thracite coal.
In view of tho fact that you and Dis
trict President Nicholls, of Scranton, in
whose district our wasliery Is located,
have always deprecated the hiring of
airr.oil men to protect me workmen,
claiming that this wuh not necessary, no
deputies, guards or coal and Iron police
will bo employed, and to our knowledge
none of the men who will be at work
upon the prer. .v.i will carry weapons of
any kind. Their safety will he In your
hands.
We now request that you, as president
of the minors' union, instruct its mem
bers, by proclamation or otherwise, not
only to refrain from any overt act against
our employes while at work, or going to,
or returning from work, but that they
remain away from the immediate neigh
borhood of the washery, in order that
o'vory man employed tiy this company
may freely exorcise his right to earn n
living for himself and those dependent
upon him, withuul fear of molestation.
Tills letter will be delivered to you by
ono of our employes, and a copy of It Is
being mailed to the press of Scranton and
Wilkes. llarre, with the request that it be
published. Yours truly,
North American Coal Company,
(Signed) N. W. Anthony, President.

HENDRICKS HELD IN BAIL.
Ho Is Charged with Sending nn
Anonymous Letter Through the
Mnllo to Hon. P. E. Timlin.
T. A. Hendricks, of .Termyn, was yes
terday hold In $n00 ball by Alderman
M. J. Ruddy on a charge ot mailing a
libelous letter to Hon, P. E. Timlin,
former member ot the legislature from
the Fourth district of this county.
Mr. Timlin lived In Jermyn until a
few weeks ugo when he moved to Car
bondnte. Ho Is n young mini and a
member ot the Lackawanna bar. Mr.
Hendricks has been a resident of
Jermyn for ten years, Is engaged In
business there and Is counted one of
the town's best known citizens. He Is
now engaged In desperate battle with
Mr. Timlin for tho Democratic nomin
ation for the legislature. The primaries
will take place this afternoon and tho
bnttlo leading up to them has been
very exciting. It has been tho cause ot
bad blood between the two men al
though not the Inception of the trouble
between them.
On Aug. 17, Mr. Timlin alleges that
he received an nnnoymous letter
though the mails which denounced him
In bitter language, referred to htm as
corrupt In politics and said many other
unpleasant thing about him.
He spent several days In Investigat
ing the source from which the letter
came and after comparing It closely
with letters he had received from Mr.
Hendricks he came to the conclusion
that the latter was the man who wrote
the letter and accordingly on Saturday
swore out a warrant before Alderman
Ruddy for his arrest.
The hearing was fixed for 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon but It was nearly
4:30 when the defendant put in his ap
pearance. He was represented by At
torney John J. Murphy and the defen
dant by Attorney H. D. Carey.
Mr. Murphy said to fully establish
their case it would be necessary to
have an expert in handwriting to pass
upon the letter, and he asked thut the
case go over until today to give them
an opportunity to secure an expert. Mr.
Carey objected with vigor. They had
been summoned for a hearing and were
ready to proceed. It would be unjust
to compel them to come around today.
The primary election will be on today
and Mr. Carey said It was for the pur
pose of annoying and bothering Mr.
Hendricks and keeping him away from
the fight for representative that it was
proposed to continue until today.
In no sense was that their intention,
Mr. Murphy said, and as an evidence of,
their good faith would proceed to give
their side of the case In the absence of
the expert reserving the right to call
the expert later.
Mr. Timlin wns called and testified to
the receipt of the letter and having
compared It with letters he had receiv
ed from Mr. Hendricks. He was con
vinced that the latter was the author
of the letter. Mrs. Timlin, mother of
the prosecutor also testified that she
was familiar with Mr. Hendrick's hand
writing and was convinced that he was
the person who wrote the nnnoymous
letter.
Thomas Walkey, formerly postmaster
of Jermyn wns sworn but could not
thrown much light on the authorship of
the letter. Mr. Hendricks the defend
ant was then put on the stand and
denied having had anything to do with
the writing or mailing of the letter in
question.
Mr. Murphy asked that the defendnnt
be bound over for his appearance at
court and Mr. Carey objected to this
saying a case had not been made ,out
and that at all events there was no libel
for the essence of libel is publication
and there was no publication In this
case until Mr. Timlin had himself, made
known the contents of the letter.
The alderman decided that there was
sufficient evidence in the case to bind
for court and accordingly held Mr.
Hendricks in $300 bail. His attorney
became his bondsmnn.

EXTENSION OF
TIME LIMIT
STATEMENT THAT IT WAS IL
LEGALLY OBTAINED.
If tho Utterances of General Uribe
Urlbe, Loader of the Liberal Party
in Colombia) Is Correct Then the
French Company's Concessions Will
Run Only Two Years 'Longer.
Facts and Figures Upon Which the
Statement of the General Is Made.
Want Us to Wait.
General Urlbe Urlbe, the lender of the
Liberal party of Colombia, and the fore
most man of his times In South Amer
ica, has Issued the declaration which
appears below and which Is of exceo
tionnl Interest to Amcrlcuns In view ot
Panama canal negotiations now pend
ing. The declaration Is translated from
the Spanish and given to the press of
tho United Stutes by Raul Perez, of
this city, who Itus long acted as secre
tary for Gcncrul Urlbe and Is a promi
nent ofllclat of the Liberals. Air. Perez
Is himself an exile from his native land
and has suffered confiscation ot his es
tates, Imprisonment and many perse
cutions at tho hands of the govern
ment now In power, He Is a linguist
of remarkable versatility, and Is at
present preparing a portion of the
Spanish course for tho International
Corrcsoondence schools.
With regard to General Urlbe's dec
laration, It should bo understood that
the extension of time to which refer
ence Is made was given by a former
president of the republic, Dr. Sancle
mente. with no authority outside of
that which he had arrogated to him
self. No congress has been In session
in Colombia since 1S9S. therefore no
legality attaches to the extension of
time thus granted the French company.
Tho existence of a revolution In
which the Liberals have been contend
ing for the franchise anil other rights
bus precluded the assembly of congress
since that date, yet at the time when
the French company wns about to pay
the sun; of $6,000,000 for such extension,
Dr. Sanclemeute, hoping to secure
enough i;endy funds to resist the at
tacks of the revolutionists, accepted
$1,000,000 and granted time extending to
1910. The French company was warned
thnt this was illegal and that the
money would be forfeited; nevertheless,
it was paid to the Colombian govern
ment. It Is to this incident of history
that General Urlbe refers. The author
ized extension of time will lapse In 1904.
The general argues that there is no
need of the United States paying $40,
000,000 to a company of European
speculators for what in the course of
two years can be obtained by direct
treaty with Colombia, under better
conditions.
TIIK DECLARATION.
The public is aware of the fact that the
United Stales congress has Just passed a
law authorizing President Roosevelt to
obtain for the North American nation tho
right to build the Panama canal, provided
two conditions bo tilled: First That the
title of the French company be valid, and
second Thnt said company should not
demand over forty millions of dollars for
the transfer.
The only thing that irlvei commercial
value to the French company's title Is the
six years extension of time, granted by
Dr. Sanclemeute without constitutional
power and after the Colombian congress
during the sessions ot '!)S refused to au
thorize any negotiation directed towards
the granting of such an extension. More
over, it is a notorious fact that the de
sire to annul tho harmful effects of Dr.
Sanclemente's illegal and anti-patriotic
act had great Influence on the minds of
those who decided to depose him.
During the two years that not counting
the extension of time still remain before
the expiration of the term of the fran
chise. It is Impossible for any human
power to fulfill tho obligation of digging
the canal, and It Is evident that no ono
would buy the concession under condi
tions so exacting. Eight years, however,
would be amply sufficient for American
energy, science and capital to accomplish
this great enterprise.
Now, the extension of time, which Is
really what the French company can sell,
is not legal if a Colombian congress,
freely elected, does not ratify it. Not
even the transfer of the franchise to a
government will be vufld without the pre
vious consent and approval of tho same
congrers. Thus the title thnt the French
company presents to tho government ot
the United States Is not a perfect and
transferable title, while it lacks the sanc
tion of the supremo authority, which, in
accordance with the existing constitution,
Is the legislative power.
The Colombian liberal party guided by
the purest patriotic sentiment hns al
ready most solemnly protested against
Dr. Sanclemente's proceeding. I do here
by confirm that protest, Inasmuch ns It Is
supported by the party and Justified by
reason.
NO NEED OF HASTE.
Should the extension of time bn dis
approved, tho expiration of tho French
franchise will Inevitably take place In
October, 1901. I fall to see any well
founded motive to Justify haste to gain
two years In definitely setting out to
r.secute a work without which humanity
has been able to exist nnd advance dur
ing myriads of years. Let iw bo patient
for twenty-six months longer, until
the encumbering French Imbroglio will
straighten nut by tho natural course of
events, nnd then a direct treaty between
the two nations can be effected with
greater reciprocal advantages and with
out costly outside Intermediaries,
Tho decision of the United States con
gress in favor of the Panama route hns
given came for Joy ami profound gratl
tilde, to all Colombians, who thus sen the
wurk of tho canal fall Into responsible
and strong hands, capable of accomplish
ing tho purpose. But the fact most wor
thy ot congratulations is that this power
exists within the limits of the American
cimtlnent. Much greater would he tho
satisfaction, however, for sons of tho New
World had they not to buy from a meie
European compuny tho right to carry out
reforms and lutrodiico Improvements on
American soil, Indeed, Is it not anomal
ous tluu ' order to deal with each other
two nations of tho American family
should hnvu to ask and pay dearly for
permission from an Intruding third party?
Little difference could bo tletected be
tween the galleons of olden times, which
railed from our coast to Europe laden with
gold, representing tho product of fifths
and gnbells paid to the Spanish crown,
and tho transatlantic liner that carries
over the forty millions of dollars to the
French company, representing Intlnlto ef
fort of American toll. One Is a tribute us
much ns1 another, since nothing equiva
lent is received In exchange In fungible
form, but a document or title of question,
able legality, All this would be avoided
simply by waiting until the lufiso of a
short than will have simplified the prob
lem by tho clmlulnutlon of unnecessary
elements,
WAITING PERFECTS.
With regard to Colombia, It would bo
still more uujusilflitblo to hasten the re
sult. Wultlug perfects, improves and In
creases our light, without running the
least risk on that account. Acting thus,
we shall be strictly within our legal
rights and within tho stipulation of the
contract with the French company.
There will bo no dlfllculty In reimburs
ing the million dollars received oy Co-
lombln, by vlrluo of tho Snnclemenlo ox
tension of time. Tho refusal to sanction
It Would allow tho Republic Ipse facto to
raise this sum, nnd others Btlll turgor, to
redeem tho paper currency nnd glvo
great Impulse to progress.
Bcforo deciding on a tnnttcr of such
vast ininortnncc, let us wait until tho
country recovers pcaco nnd with It liber
ty of judgment. In the first place, let tm
exert ourselves for a united action, so
thnt tho decision taken, bo It what It
may, shall carry with It tho seal of a
national responsibility conscientiously ob
tained. Tho responsibility of a single
party would not ho Httfllclent. Tho others
would evndo sharing In It nnd would rnlso
the accusation of having sncrlflccd tho
present nnd the future of the country to
petty factional Interests.
Forttlno offers to Colombia this most
favorable opportunity at the present mo
ment, when her own sons are proclpltnt
Ing her Into a chasm dark nnd deep. To
all those who call themselves patriots, I
npep.il with nil the ardor nnd good faith
of which I mn cnpablc, that wo may not
misuse this marvelous opportunity. Sal
vutton Is now In our liunds. Let us bo
saved 1
It would ho sufficient for this purpnso
that our rights at men and citizens
should bo recognized, nnd that tho path
of national representation should bo open
to us; thnt wo might, with our voice nnd
our vote, participate In the gravest de
liberation that has come before us slnco
wo won the namo ot Independent repub
lic. As I hud announced, I return to the
front, but now as always, my opinion Is
In favor of listening to nny pence propo
sitions that tuny bo ncccptnblc. If at
least a reasonable proportion of that
which wo are endeavoring to secure by
force of arms, Is heartily nnd In a re
liable form offered us, what doubt Is
there that wo shall bo willing to accept
It? We tiro not of those, who break In
doors already open. It Is only because
the door of our rights Is obstinately kept
closed, or Is deceitfully held ajar or part
ly opened to those who renounce their
dignity, that we prolong the struggle. It
will cense at the very moment the gov
ernment utters sincere words of justice,
peaco and harmony.

LABOR DAY EXCURSION.
It Will Be a Most Enjoyable Affair
at Lake Lodore, Sept. 1.
The Labor Day excursion will be con
ducted to Lake Lodore on .Monday,
Sept. I. There will bo no place at which
the day can be more pleasantly spent
than at this beautiful lakeside, where
thousands of merry excursionists will
be entertained In royal style. There
will be an excellent dance programme
provided in the mammoth pavllllon, and
the safe and rapid moving steamer and
naptluv launches, the large and com
modious passenger boat together with
the fleet of row boats will be In full
service. No better spot for fishing in
the region. Then there will be one of
the most exciting ball games of tho
season for a gold prize. An abundance
of delicious refreshments will be sup
plied; the merry-go-round, swings, etc.,
for the children. Trains will leave the
D. & H. depot, Scranton, at 9.15 and
10.13 n. m. and 1.11 p. m. Fare from
Scranton, 75 cents. Excursion trains
will leave Carbondale at 10.00 and 11.03
a. m. and 2 p. m. Reduced rates from
nil points between Scranton and Hones
dale. A Point to Insist On.
There are endless numbers of travel
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times a month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest,
safest, most convenient and most com
fortable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of traveling, and what
they have a right to expect, always
insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. So should you.

The cheapest way to get out of financial trouble is to get a small
loan from us. We will tell you at first exactly what a loan for any
amount for any length of time will coat. We charge only a mod
erate rate for the use of the money, and you will be surprised to find
how very low our charges are. You pay only for the actual time you
keep the money. This company does not charge compound interest
at all, nor are there any extra charges of any kind.
No publicity, no questions are asked among your friends or neigh
bors. No endorsement of papers here. Everything fair and square.
