SAYS HE FEARS A STEP FATHER
Tho Boy Ran Away From Girard
Collate About Two Years
Ago and Has Worked in
the Mines Since.
j HE mmrald yesterday
called the attention of
the public to a letter
received by Chiof of
Police IHvi from Mrs.
Margaret Kerwick, of
New Hope, Bucks
comity, Hi which the
Chief was asked for in
formation concerning tlie whereabout of her
son, for whom Bho had been searching for
over a year.
Tho IIekald was not on the streets half
an hour when a reporter of tho paper and
Chief Davis wore informed that the hoy was
in a liouse on West Coal street. Tho In
formation was followed by a visit to the
liouse designated and the hoy was found. Ho
had heard df tho Herald's articlo and was
ou alert for callers. When Chief Davis
Chief Burgess Smith and tho reporter ap
proached tho houso somo boy friends of tho
0110 sought gavo warning and it was only
after many assurances that no arrest was in
tended and somo" persuasion that tho boy
could bo induced to meet tho officers.
Satisfied that he wus not to bo taken into
custody tho boy, whose name is Qooigo, led
tho way into tho houso of tho friends with
whom lie lias been staying. Chief Davis
then told George of tho letter written by the
mother and advised him to go homo. Tho
hoy said that he, too, received a lettor from
his mother and answered it yesterday. Ho
said ho would not go homo and when asked
why roplicd that ho did not thins ho would
like a step father.
Chief Davis considered ho had dono his
duty in fiudlng tho boy nnd advising him to
go homo and that after writing to the mother
ho would let tho matter drop.
(ieorgo Erskino is about bovciitcen years of
ago. Ho ran away from Qlrard College,
Philadelphia, about two years ago and lias
since resided with tho West Coal Btreet
family. Ho works in the Boston I!un mints,
Tho family ho,is staying with has tr-ated
him very kindly and this with tho kuowl
edge of his mother's ro-marriage and a fear
that ho could not get along with a step
father has made lilm adverse to return to his
home. Members of tho family with which
he is living told tho Chief of Police that
they had not Induced tho boy to remain here,
but ou tho contrary had repeatedly advised
him to go to his homo.
OBE'S OBSERVATIONS.
What lie Sees mill 11 turn During III
Travels.
I heard a man say yesterday that it was n
shamo the Borough Council did not make
some provision heforo it adjourned Thursday
night to give tho pcoplo police protection
pending tho organization of Council on Mon
day evening noxt. His idea, which was of
courso erroneous, was that tho meeting of
Thursday evening was tho last of tho old
Council and tho terms of tho paid pollco ex
pired with tho adjournment. Tho old police
force is still on duty and any ouo can ascer
tain the fact by giving them a chanco to
make an arrest.

Pottsvillh, March 1.
HE details of a deal of
questionable character
that entered promin
ently Into tho last
election for a Judge in
this county was un
earthed by the hear
ings of tho applications
for new licenses hold during tho past month
mostly at intervals, consequent upon tho
sickness of ono membor of tho Bench and tho
death of another.
Owing to tho nbsenco of tho President
Judge, who was recuperating at tho seoshore,
after a serious attack of stomach trouble, all
tho rapidly accumulated work of tho court
dovolved upon tho associates, Judges Bechtcl
and Green, and tho sudden death of tho lat
ter, on tho Cth ult., threw tho entiro burden
upon tho only remaining oltlcial in actual
harness, Judge Bechtel, who has been, as was
the lamonted Judge Green, untiring in his
dovotiou to tho duties which devolved upen
tho court.
Bo that as it may, sickness and death have
brought about an unfortunate state of things
iu this county, so far as our court business is
concerned, which is now only partly reme1
died by the commission of a successor to the
lato Judgo Green and which requires tho
f reedy restoration to health of his honor, tho
president of tho court, to complete it.
TALL ELECTION ECHOES.
It was during the recent protracted cam
paign which involved the election of a suc
cessor to Judgo Pershing, and which re
suited in his ro-clection, that the events
occurred which are referred to in tho be
ginning of this communication. The Re
publicans of the county had placed a ticket
iu the field as early as April, headed by R
II. Koch, Esq., then serving hie last year as
District Attornoy, and tho Democrats noinl
nated in July, placing at the head of their
ticket President Judgo Pershing. Mr. , Koch
had entered tho field yielding to the solid
tations of many members of tuo Bar and
other citizens who reckoned on his marked
ability, untiring zeal as a lawyer and the
exigoncy of court matters which demanded
a man just entering tho prlmo of life who
combined fitness, courage and activity in his
work and whose popularity had hoen shown
when ho ran throe years before on the Re
publican ticket and was elected in a Demo
cratic county. As is always tho case in such
contests tho lawyers divided ou this Judge
fight, uot politically as iu most other con
tests, but for tho sako of policy and to socuro
their own ends. Most of the Republicans,
however, who remained truo to Mr. Koch
did so because of their knowledge of and
confidence in his superior attainments and
because just such a man was needed ou the
Bench, it being very seldom tho oaso that a
man of his standing and success at tho Bar
oau be induced to relinquish a lucrative
practice and tho independence of an advo
cate for tho moro confining, exclmlve and
sacrificing duties which aro demaudod by a
judioial position. The wisdom of making
Mr. Koch a candidate was manifested by tho
rosult wheu tho winner only won by a little
over 1,100 plurality in a county which had
given Governor Pattlsou oyer 1,003 majority.
Building, therefore, on tho known strength
of Koch, the managers of tho opposition
knew they had no game of child's play
before them and they resorted to any aud all
schemes to defeat him.
HKfOKTlNG TO HEROIC METHODS.
All the machinery of a mammoth and
powerful corporation was not sufficient, al
though many promises were made by bosses of
collieries to men to vote against Koch, and
had tbe desired effect, but measures were
taken to organiae another and more effective
way of insuring the defeat of this popular
man, aud one which was as disgracefml as
ingenious. A eoterie of lawyers orgauiiwd
audfheld secret meetings, and for die pur
pose of their crusade, their actions were as
guarded as those of the now defunct Mollie
Magulre organisation. Their watchword
defeat Koch at all hazards was used at all
gatherings and every precaution was taken
to admit nono but those who had becu
previously tested as to their fealty to ouo or
other of their party nominees. Heretofore
tho court iu this county has been chary in
granting licenses to sell liquor aud many men
of well known political influence have been
heretofore refused the privilege, in many
oases, it must be admitted, from Just reasons.
Au opportunity to oorral these people into a
band which oould be effectively manipulated
to join the conspirators iu their campaign
now presented Ilceif aud to that end a lUt
was made' up of the names of all penoiw who
had been refused lioeuses year after year and
to it was added the name of hundred who
were known would he applicant for new
piece this year.
aaTTivo now x to wor.

aspirants for the liquor soiling pilviiwge aud
each mau did his work by teeing his mall
and aiinoanolng the deal. They were told
that Mr. Kooh, if elected, would be very
strict in granting licenses and that their In
Urests were at stake In the judioial contest,
more so this time than ever before. "Use
your influence and your vote for the Demo
cratic candidate and we will get you a
license." The scheme was collective and
Koch was defeated.
At once these lawyer" turned in to deliver
tho goods; license petitions were printed and
sent to the applicants who had been promised,
and when they came to be filed in the clerk's
office the names of attorneys who never be
fore practiced in the license court were en
dorsed thereon, and when the hearings came
off the whole scheme was exposed. Appli
cant after applicant called oh hi former at
torney aud excused himself for not employ
ing him by divulging tho bargain. To so
great an extent was this carried on that one
or two members of the ollqne are known to
have secured the cases of over fifty new ap
plicants, when in year aed they were
hardly known to appear in the license court.
The divulging of this scheme created a great
sensation in certain localities of the county
aud it was expected, when the court would
make up it i decisions and many licenses were
refuted, as they have been, because neither
the sourt or any of the Judge have been
parties to the deal, that the names of prin
cipals and tho whole unembellished story of
tho bargain would be told and miuiy hereto
fore reputablo lawyors would bo placed in au
unenviable light.
AND SO IT CAME TO l'A8.
Whilo many new licenses were refused,
many were also granted nnd prominent
among them are quite a number north-of-the-
mountaln in place where they were sure to
do the most good. For instance, iu a certain
ward in Mahanoy City a certain Welsh.
Republican, who once kept a licensed place
in auother part of the town, applied for a
new license for a new location. He was out
spoken for the Republican ticket last April
when his party convention mot aud nominated
aud was often heard to praise, In fact was
boistorously outspoken for, Mr. Koch, the
candidate for Judge. But after the Demo
crats had nominated and the intriguing liquor
lawyers got to work he was easily persuaded
to fly the truck and many and oft in his ouph
he would tell his companions about the
promise he had made to assist in Kooh'
defeat in payment of which lie was to be one
of the favored few when the new licenser
were de-alt out And it came to pass. Hit,
name was handed down last Tuesday and hit
goods were delivered to him marked granted.
Ho made haste to come to Pottsville and tak
up his paper, fearful that before he ooul.l
grasp the coveted prize something might
happen and he wouldn't get it at all. And
then he got fall and told the story ov r
again.
A I.KAQITB AND A JOINT.
It is not charged that some of the favored
ones would uot have been favored without
the aid of tho L. L. L. (.the name which hat
been applied to thi league) because, as I
havo Intimated, the L. L. L. acted without
the knowledge or sanction of any member of
the Bench, but it Is certain that tlicy so
played upon the feelings, fears and hopes of a
ni-mbi r of new applicants and formerly
refused ones, as to secure their influence iu
compassing the defeat of the one they oppcmid
and the olection of their choen one.
And now to even up matters certain other
things are going to happen.
A list is being prepared of all thoce 'who
wero promised licenses (whether they were
successful or not) who worked against the
election of their party candidate; aud that
list will be kept for future use.
Some of these fellows will very soon won
der how every illegal net of theirs so sud
denly becomes known; how It is, in fact, that
thoy cannot sell liquor on Sunday or to
minors without the fact becoming known to
certain persons, and very soon somo of these
fellows will be brought before the court to
answer for violations of the law, aud then all
of the schemes oi the.L. L. L. will oome to
light and it may also transpire who oomprno
