V
MENTION OF
MEN OF HOUR
THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE
BOARD OE TRADE.
He Is Demonstrating That He 13 the
Right Man for the Plnco W. J.
Hnnd Quickly Taking a Plnco
Among the Most Useful Members
of the Board of Control B. P. Con
nolly Who Has Done Wonders for
tho Scranton Bicycle Club Mr.
Crawford's Bonanza.
If tlicio Is any one uosltlou In this
city which irqulrt'H the services of a
itmti possessed of tlieless etietgy, tin
(llnchliiK persistency, business acumen
of n hlsh order and Rood address that
position Is that of secretary of the
board of trade. Kverybody who knows
C. S. Seatnans, the new Incumbent of
the place, knows that ho measures up
to Its requirements In every way.
The secretary of the board of trade
Is tho representative of the business
and commercial Interests oC the city
nnd ho must needs be a man who can
command at once the respect of the
C. S. SEAMANS.
representatives of outside industrial
concerns with whom lie comes in touch.
Those who know Mr. Seamans know
that no one can talk with him for live
minutes and not realize that he is an
exponent of everything that is ttp-to-datc
and progressive in American busi
ness life.
He hasn't been saying much during
the past few mouths but like the man
so often heard of he has been sawing
wood. He lias three industries 011 his
list, which are about ready to come
here but ns he said the other day he
doesn't like to say anything definite
about thorn until ground Is actually
broken so that ho cannot be accused of
being a false prophet. The board of
trade was fortunate in having Captain
Atheiton as Mr. Seaman's predecessor
and It is fortunate likewise in having
Jlr. Keamans as Captain Atherton's
successor.
One man who Is not particularly con
cerned on his own account if the strike
should last a Jong time Is J. L. Craw
ford, president and main stockholder
in the People's Coal company. K.trly
in the strike he went at the then sur
passed impossible task of manning the
company's Oxford colliery and operat
ing it on a big scale. His personal
popularity with miners who had worked
under him when lie was superintendent
of the Simpson & AVatklns' mines gave
him his start. A few men here and a
few more there who had been befriend
ed by Jlr. Crawford and who were will
ing to give him a hand In his hour of
need, were assembled and set to work.
Jfore were .secured fiom time to time
from among the old Simpson & AVat
klns' employes, and former employes of
the Oxford, and to assist them laborers
wore secured wherever they could be
-ecruited, either in the coal fields or
llstant places. Elaborate arrange
ments were made for quartering them
and protecting them at the mine, nnd
equally elaborate arrangements were
made for protecting the colliery prop
erty, a stockade and watch tower,
equipped with a powerful telescope,
by day and searchlight by night being
among these latter arrangements.
There were those who said the great
expense these arrangements entailed
would make It Impossible to mine coal
at a profit. Jlr. Crawford thought oth
erwise. And he thought aright. Tho
Oxford Is now turning about f.OO tons
of coal a day and nearly all of It Is
being shipped to New York, where It
Is sold for nil kinds of fancy prices.
One dealer In domestic sizes, so it Is
related, recently bought 1,000 tons at $1S
at ton at tho breaker, A mouth ago
tho company hold 1,000 tons for $10 a
ton. It Is probably 11 low estimate to
put tho gross earnings of tho colliery
at $5,000 a day. Allowing that tho com
pany has 300 men at the mine, Includ
ing guards, cooks and the like the total
expense for wages, board and lodging
would not amount to $2,000, a net
earning of $3,000 day Is probably not
very far from the truth.
If there Is any man In this city who
has a hobby and has one bad, that man
Is P., I. Connolly, His hobby is tho
Scranton Hlcycle club, of which oigan
ization ho Is tho president, having re
cently been elected for tho sixth con
secutive time. Ho lives at tho club and
devotes every moment of Ills spare time
to furthering Its Interests and plan
ning schemes for the entertainment of
the members.
Jlr, Connolly was one of the original
members of the club and ever since Its
organization It has been his baby, If
he's not' making arrangements for a
wrestling match he's devising some
plan for u pool tournament or a bowl
ing match or he's assisting the house
committee In securing talent for a
smoker or In scheming to put in some
much needed Improvement. Small vvon
'der It Is that "Barney," as he Is af
fectionately termed, Is the most popu
lar member of tho club and thut he. Is
almost Idolized by tho other members.
Jlr. Connolly Is one of tho city's
busiest,. brainiest nnd most prosperous
, business, .men, being a member of the
lirm of Connolly & AVulluee.
AV. J. Hand, who wos elected as
ncho'ol controller from the Tenth ward
to succeed ,fuco Schafer Is proving an
' admirable member. Hu Is diligent -in
his attendance on committee meeting;
Mod shows' In the speeches whleli he
makes at board meetings that ho Is
desirous of ficelng Iho nffalts of the
district conducted on business lines.
Mr. Hand Is recognized as one of tho
loading attorneys now practicing nt tho
Lackawanna bar and his legal training
renders his services as school controller
especially valuable. Air. Hand takes
a purtleutar Interest In kindergarten
work and favors the extension nf this
system tif Instruction as far as tho
llnaiiccs of the district will allow.
ASKS FOR INJUNCTION.
Counsel of the D., L. & W. Says tho
United States Court Could End
the Strike.
By Inclusive Who from Tlic Associated Press.
New York, Oct. IB. Walter V. Hoss,
general counsel tor the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Itallroad com
pany, has sent to President Uoosevclt
a stutemont nbout the legal solution of
the coal strike. He declares that the
powers of the federal government arc
ample to deal with tho problem. Fol
lowing Is a summary of his statement,
ns published In The Tribune:
The t'lilted Jllno Workers of Ainetlca
have entered Into ait agreement or con
tract with each other not to work nor to
permit any one else to wotk at milling
coal, except under the unlawful condi
tions adopted by that organization. Tho
Supreme court has held In the Trims
Missouri c.iHe, wherein the anti-trust act
was construed, that every contract which
in fact restrains or tends to tcstrulu trade
1h rendered Illegal by said act of congress,
whether It is reasonable or unreasonable,
t'nder the provisions of the anti-trust act,
the suit to lcslialn such Illegal eoinbl
natlon can he In ought only in the name
of the I'ulted States and under the direc
tion of the. attorney general of the Culled
Slates.
The private and coiporate powers of the
unthracltc coal property, the twenty thou
sand men now employed In piuduriug coal
theiefrom, the thousands ot other em
ployes who me prevented from luturnliig
to work by the acts of violence and In
timidation of the lawless mob, the wives
and child! on of these mlneis, who are, or
mioii will be, suffeilng fiom lack ot proper
care, thii interstate tiunspoitntlon com
panies passing through the coal llelds, the
millions of law abiding citizens ot this
great nation who can see the right when
it is shown to them, should call upon the
pieMdont of the fulled States as their
leader in this moment of stipienie impor
tance to uphold and enforce the law of
the I:mtl. They should ask him to request
the attorney general of the t'nited States
to have a bill filed In the ell cult court ot
the t'ulted States, In tho state of Penn
sylvania, in the name of the t'nited
States, against John Jllteholl, president,
and all the officers and members of tho
organization known as the railed Jliue
AVer Iters of America, asking the court
to lestraln such defendants fionr Interfer
ing with the interstate transportation of
poison's and propel ty and the t'ulted
States mall, and from continuing the un
lawful combination and conspiracy which
exists to subject to the will of the con
spirators the control ot an intei state com
modity and a necessity of life coal Its
production and tiansportatloN to IN mar
kets In neighboring states. The evidence
to sustain such a bill is notorious. The
t'nited Jline AVoikers of Ameiica is a
combination seeking the absolute control
of the manner, quantity and poisons cm
ployed in mining coal throughout the
1'nlted States. It Is conti oiled by one man
whose commands rue supreme; It leeog
nlssos not our sacred constitution, which
guarantees that no peison shall be de
prived of life, liberty or property with
out duo process of law.
The laws of this nation aio adequate to
meet tills crisis. The provisions of our
constitution and tho ailous acts of con
gress applicable to the facts Involved
have within recent years been construed
by the Supreme 00111 1 of the United
States In the Debs case and In other
cases. Debs was president ot the Amer
ican Railway union, a voluntary associa
tion, of which many thousand railway em
ployes were- menthols, which sought, as
found by tho Supreme eouit. to subject to
the will of the conspirators the Inter
state transportation ot persons, property
and the 1'nlted States mail: and in or
der to acquire this power they oidrred
their members on a .strike, which Debs
dellneil as being a war. He publicly piu
clalmed, as found by the cotut, for the
purpose of enlisting public sympathy, that
the member who destioys property or vio
lates the inw is tiro enemy of tho union,
yet lie nnd his followers were constantly
and seciotly sending out commands to
prevent the scabs at all hazards from
working, which commands resulted In
riot, bloodshed, minder mid destruction
of property. These facts are contained
in the recoids ot the federal courts, Theso
and other facts being then convoyed to
the president of the Pulled States, the
attorney general forthwith directed tho
t'nited Stntes district attorney to llle a
bill In tho I'ulted States circuit court in
the name of the t'ulted States nsaiiist
Dobs, as president of the American Hall
way union, and nil the officers and mem
bers of that union, praying that they bo
testrained from f 111 titer piosecutlon ot
their Illegal acts, Tho injuiietinnal order
was granted forthwith. The strike, or
war, as Delis defined Jt, was immediately
biokon, and older and poaeo was re
stoiod, In giving his testimony before
tho court, and wlillo under 0.1th, Debs
said: "It was not the soldiers that ended
tho strike, It was not the old brotliei
hoods that ended the strike. It was simp
ly the 1'nlted States couit that ended tho
strike," The federal courts havo held In
morn iceent cases the Pulled Jllno
Workers ot Ameiica to bo an Illegal as
sociation, Tho federal constitution provides that
"no state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without duo process ot
law."
An Insurrection provalls In seven of tho
counties of tho state ot Pennsylvania,
Tho civil authorities are piostiate, and
oven tho National Guard nf tho state, ot
which many of the t'nited Jllno Work
ers of America aio members, are 1111
uhlo to oiiforco tho law, and pro
tect life, liberty and property. It Is
therefore tiro duty of thu federal govern
ment to Intervene,
Tho teptescntatlves of the owncis of tho
coal piopcrtlcs and lutcrstulo transporta
tion companies havo appealed befoio thu
president in person and told him of tho
existence of this insurrection, of this con
spiracy, of mob rule, violence, Intimida
tion nf men seeking to ojei'clso their in
nlloniiblo right to labor, of the dynamiting
of inilroail bridges and buildings, of tho
forcible obstruction to Intoistuto trains
carrying passengers, conunerco nnd tiro
Pnltcd States malls, of the attempted ro
sction or a public necessity coal-nf tho
Impoteiicy of tho civil authorities, and of
tho Inability of the stnto r.illltiu to en
force tho law. They stand ready to pro
duce tho evidence to sustain theso facts,
and morn.
Tho groat power of the fedeial govern
ment, of which tho president is chief In
command, is requited, Tho power Is not
dotniaut. Two ways 11 ro open; Ho may
cither dicet tho attorney general of tho
Putted States to file a bill on tho equity
sido of tho ciicult court of thu Pnltoil
States in Pennsylvania, and let tho court
bear the evidence ud enter such outer
as to it shall scorn meet and just; or, hu
may, in the exercise or tho great execu
tive power of his high office as com
mander In chief of tho army of this na
tion, order tho federal troops to quoll
'tho Insurrection, domestic violence or
combination, to abato the great public
nulsanco and protect life, liberty and
property.
AVItltlu a brlof tlmo after ho shall havo
given cither command, peace and tran
quility, will bo restored, tho normal pto
ductlou of coal, a public necessity, will
be resumed, and tho plaudits of a gruta
f ill nation will be given hint for doing
that which la' simply right.

party rules, but not even common de
cency observed In the conduct of the
Jluslc hall purported convention,"
Jlajor Warren said.
Ho then went on to enumerate the
points of attack. Among those he
elaborated upon were the conspiracy of
the night before at Hotel Schadt by
crafty leaders of the minority, to steal
the convention muchlncry from the
mnjorlty: the failure to comply with
the state laws and primary rules re
quiring the vigilance committees to
swear to tho credentials being correct
and directing that a tally list of the
voters at tho primary bo returned to
tho convention with each credential;
the failure to llle notice nnd reasons
of contest In writing tiro day before
the convention; the illegal substitution
of Fahey ns secretary, and tho lnck of
rule, rhyme or reason for the action of
Jiessrs. Fahey, Schadt, Lynett, Fltz
slmmons and O'Brien representing
themselves as an "executive commit
tee" and electing the temporary officers
of tile convention before the convention
day had in lived. .
Assuming Acquiescence.
In anticipating the defense of the
Fnhoyltes Jlajor AVnrren said that even
assuming that ncqulesence by .the dele
gates cured the Irregularities a major
ity of tlie delegates could not lie charg
ed with ncqulesence because they could
not get an opportunity to make a pro
test, as their action in leaving the
hall testifies.
"The convention was nothing short
of 11 mob meeting," he declared. "It
out-Hei oil's Herod. But leave aside
tlie rough-shod method of conducting
business and iisume that It was o fairly
orderly gathering nnd you can not
make a legal convention out of It.
There was no evidence at any time
until after Sando was nominated that
the hall contained a quorum of the
delegates. If the Jluslc hall convention
stands it will be 11 declaration on the
part of this court that if a few men
get together pack the hall with a mob
keep out a majority of the delegates,
run things with a minority and some
main strength as irregularly as you
please and then because nobody could
check tlie proceedings, allege there was
'ncqulesence,' and that tho proceedings
thorefoie must stand."
Jlr. Strnnahan, for the Fnhoyltes,
argued that the Flynnites were not in
good faith: that they were Itepubll
cans engaged in attempting to control
or disrupt tire Democratic convention
nnd that any disorder that occurred
was due to this effort on the part of
the Flynnites.
It Cured Them.
If there were any irregularities In
the proceedings of th convention, ho
argued, the acquiescence of the dele
gates cuied them. Klther vote or silent
assent would affirm the substitution of
Fahey for secretary and his subsequent
assumption of the chairmanship under
authority of the executive committee,
no mutter whether or not the execu
tive committee had this power of sub
stitution. The convention was above
the rules and as tlreie was not a single
piotest against these variations from
the methods prescribed by the tales,
tho actions wore nlUrnrod and must
stand. For the reason that there was
no objection to the adoption of the re
port of the committee 011 peimunent
organization and 110 appeal from the
Fahey ruling that the Olbbons' motion
was too late, tlie report and the ruling
must also stand.
AVhen a delegate files n credential
and another delegate from the same
district files another, Jlr. Strnnahan
argued, the second was by tho mere
filing of his credential given, tho te
qulred "written notice and reasons for
contest." Tho "notice" was the filing
of the credential. The "reason" was
contained in the claim on the face ot
the credential that the contestant was
the one rightfully elected.
A'aiious other Ingenious but unsub
stantial props were put under tho
Fahey case by Jlr. Strnnahan. Jlr.
ilergncr, who followed hint for the
Fnlieyitcs, dealt imilitly with the evi
dence. He claimed that the testimony
of the Flynnites' own witnesses showed
that there were 123 regularly elected
delegates who vvero lit Jluslc hull when
Howell and Hando were nominated.
Closed for Flynnites.
.Mr. Olmsted closed for tho Flynnites.
He pointed out further Irregularities In
tho Jluslc hull convention, nmong them
the counting of the vote by secretaries,
when tho rules preserlbo that the work
shall be done by tellers, and then, as an
evidence ot conspiracy to defraud, he
called attention to the undisputed evi
dence that the twenty-five Fahey men
who were given seats by fake contests
were put on the roll before the conven
tion met lit tho alternoon, Tho ovldeuco
clearly showed, ho said, that tho friends
of Connell and Hnban constituted a
clear majority of those holding creden
tials, and that tho organization was
wrested from them by a few persons
more skilled In the manipulation of
conventions. If tho credentials of any
of the delegates can bo sustained, said
Jlr, Olmsted, It is unquestioned that a
majority lif duly accredited delegates
vvero not In Jluslc hall, but In Jlelvln
hall, when the nominations of Howell
and Sando occurred.
Judging from the questions propound
ed by tho Judges during tho arguments,
It Is a. safe guess that the Jluslo hall
convention, surely, and the Jlelvln hall
convention, possibly, will bo declared
Illegal.
Tho special ialn bearing tho Flynn
Witnesses left for Scranton ut " o'clock
Saturday afternoon. They were rather
amused byi the story lit a Scranton
paper that they had not been treated
well by those who subpoenaed them.
Those who had their comfort and en
tertainment In chargo were likewise
amused ut the story.
Only a few of tho witnesses and at
torneys remained oyer for the other
hearings, which aro to take place to
morrow. , T, J. Duffy,

Portions of the Earth in Danger of
Volcanic Eruptions.
From Pearson's Magazine.
From north to south mountains Hunk
the whole of the western coasts of
America and from Alaska, where more
than one active volcano is to be found,
to Cape Horn the lines of weakness are
clearly marked. One nuts through tho
Cascade mountains down the Sierra
Xevadas into Lower California; another
fiom the Rocky mountains through
Central America and down the entire
coast of the south continent, along the
Andes. AVest of the Rocky mountains
is n vast exten of country, larger than
Franco and (Ireat Britain combined,
consisting of bare, basalt plain, caused
by lav.i Hows from Assure eruptions.
Kast of the Rocky mountains is the
far-famed Yellowstone Park dlstilct,
lying mainly in Wyoming and pattly in
Montana and Idaho, whose hot springs
and geysers show that the temperature
here Is still Intense at no great dis
tance below the surface. It was In 1S72
that these extraordinary geysers and
boiling springs became the property ot
the people.
Among the most noted volcanoes on
the American continent are Jorullo,
Popocntapetl, Cotopuxl, tlie highest vol
cano In tho world, and Consequln.t,
whose tremendous explosion In lh,'3
closely resembled that of the llrst erup
tion of Vesuvius and of Krakatoa In
iss:i. In all America possesses nearly
100 volcanoes.
In the Atlantic ocean very few Islnnds
are to be found, but they are nearly all
volcanic In origin.
Disconnected with any line of weak

world's volcanoes.
These Islands are nothing but a group
of huge volcanic cones, but for tltrce
quarters of u century all the eruptions
which have taken place have been jtoit
