Written Iteport Helloing the Position uf
tlie Council ami Chief lliliRem In Ilie
Milter.
A regulnr meeting of the Borough
Council was held Inst evening ond the
Szlupas ense, Sunday base ball and water
works monopolized most of the session.
The Szlupos case came up by n request on
Mr. Gable's part to know why the secre
tary or lamp and watch committee hnd
sent to Pottsvllle the testimony taken at
the investigation of Szlupos' cbnrgos
against the police force. It was claimed
tuat tne testimony was sentuown without,
Council's authority and the prosecution
had used it to the exclusion of the de
fense. Messrs. Gable. James and Lamb
clni tnetl that Council should not be n party
to any sucti discrimination, tutu ttiosecre
tary n in I committee denied that they had
any such Intention.
Un motion the "ecretnrv wns instructed
to write to the nrosecuiinir attorneys In
the case and nk that nil properly belong
ing to the borough be returned at once.
D.J. Doyle called attention to a nui
sauce on North White sir.et and nskel
that Council Investigate it. On motion
the matter was referred to the simitar
committee wit h Instructions to confer with
the Hoard of Health and do all In their
power to abate the nuisance.
me attention ot the lire apparatus com
mittee was called to n wire of the lire
alarm system hanging out of place over
tlie benign valley tracKs.
The lnmn and watch committee re
ported the re instiiteuieut ot Chief of

The finance committee reported having

from the Schuylkill Traction Company.
me construction cnmmitteo retiorteii
the cellar of the borough building in a
bad condition, and the nin ter was referred
back to the committee with instructions
to get estimates on the cost of cementing
the lloor of the cellar.
Mr. Lamb, of the law committee, read
the following report on the investigation
of the protest against Sunday base ball :
"Before giving our decision wo desire to
say we believe tliat playing baseball on
Sunday Is wrong and is a disgrace to the
town and should be condemned by every
good and law-abiding citizen, and if we
had, in our investigation, found that
uouncll nail tlie power to comply with
the petitioners request we would have re
ported In favor of suppressing the evil
complained of. Hut after thoroughly ex
amining the subject, hearing arguments
from the lawyers and interested parties
on both sides, nnd also reading a number
oi decisions ueariner dlrectir on the sub-
liect nt ls-ue. we have come to the conclu-
p-. . . . - ...
moii Hint uouncn has no powers under
tue law or nui to instruct our
police force to Interfere. As Mr.
Potnero has already told Council,
we are only law makers the unlet llur
gess being elected to enforce the ordinan
ces ns we make them, and not hnvim; anv
ordinance covering the law of 1701 he has
no powers in the matter; and if we had
an ordinance of that kind it would have
to be modeled nfter the stnto law, which
would make it the duty of the Chief Bur
gess to swear out warrants the next day.
anil if the ouenders should tie round guilty
n $4 fine could be imposed. This view of
the case has been admitted by Mr. Hollo
peter, who Is the legal adviser of the peti
tioners, but he claims that cheering nnd
loud cries can be heard, and on thatnc
count is n brench of the peace. This Is
admitted by your committee, but as this
is a question of fact for future considera
tion we believe it would be well for Coun
cil to instruct our officers if nt any time
the plnylng of those games will disturb
the pence nnd quiet, or cause, a disturb
anco to such an extent as to cause n breach
of the peace, to enforce the law on the
subject."
Tlie report wns accepted nnd filed,
Mr. Gallagher, of the water committee,
reported that all the pipe for tho water
works Is in with the exception of 8,f00
feet on the other side of the mountain,
1,500 feet of additional pipe for Turkey
Run, two squares on Lino street nnd two
squnres on .Mulberry alley.
At this point there was quite a discus
sion over the failure of the contractor to
order certain pipe nnd it resulted In a
motion that when the Council adjourn it
do so to meet next Wednesday evening
and that the secretary insist upon Messri.
Qulnn and Womelsdoif, the contractor
and engineer, attending the meeting, and
it they fail to do so progress on the works
be stopped until some understanding Is
had.
A license fee of J7, collected from Max
Freldenburg by the Chief Burgess tor a
huckster's stand at the corner Centre and
White streets, wns ordered to be returned,
ns Council docs not wish to go on record
as countenancing such stands.
A motion that nil such stands be re

Ills Testimony.
Special Meiiai.d correspondence.
Pottsville, July 0. The long drawn
out criminal libel suit against Dr. John
Szlupas nnd others was closed before
Judge Weldman last evening, so fnr ns
the Introduction of evidence wns con
cerned. Upon ndjourning court the
Judge said he would bo on hand at 8:"0
o'clock this morning to hear tbosummlng
up of the respective sides nnd would
allow each side but one hour and a quarter
for that purpose, ns ho wnntcd to adjourn
me court, ior tue term.
At the appointed hour this mornlnir nil
parties Interested In the cafe were on
hand nnd the first of the addresses to the
jury was opened. The summing up of
both sides occupied from s 30 until noon.
Judge Weldmnii's rhaigi- was a brief one
and nt one o'clock the lurv retired to do
liberate and nt 4 o'clock the Jury wns still
out.
The most Interesting nnrt of theSzlunas
case which occupied the attention of the
court ami Jury for so many dajs was
that in which Dr. John Szlupas testified.
This leature hlngdl on the question as to
whether the ooctor was nu Atheist, nn
Anarchist, or n Nihilist, oud aroused si
much interest that I concluded to give the
renders of the IlKliLDthe benefit of It
Even the counsel for the defense wen
forced to admire the brlllinnt manner in
which the doctor carried himself through
the battle an the witness stund nnd gie
him credit for being nn exceptionally
bright and intellectual mau. The nli
stracts of the testimony which I furnish
mny be considered thoroucblv relinhle.
By Mr. Whitehouse: Q. You were
born In another country, some place, were
you 1 A. Yes, sir.
O. Lived in New York f A. Yes, sir;
I did.
O. Tin mil liplinrn In fj.l A V.
sir: in a God In nature.
fcj. Can you explain how you differ
from the general run of these church or
ganizations f A. That is not my business
to know whether I differ or "not trom
other people. 1 think I hnve mv own con
victions. 1 could not make comparisons
with other people.
Q. Explnin what you lnenn by n God in
nature r .11. inai mere exists in nature a
power that is manifested in eve rTthintr.
in every being and in the universe. I be
lieve It nnd thnt power I am calling God.
Q. Is that a blind force or n creative
rorce r A. Vt lint do you mean by a blind
force t
Q. Or n crentivo force ? A. A creative
lorce; yes, sir.
Q. It. is a force then. You mean there
Is something called force that you call a
God in nature f A. I think the power
that is manilested In the : mverse I call
uod; yes, sir.
O Is that force that m.u believe in
backed un bv n creative mind or n creative
force f A, I could not say; I do not
is now.
Q. Have you asserted on frenuent oc
casions there was no God f A. 1 never
denied the existence of my Uod.
O. When you sny your God. do von
mean n different God from the one the
christians worsuln r A. I could not snv.
O. Hid not you belong to tho christian
church one time I A. I do belong In the
present. I do belong even at present.
Q. Where do you nttend t A. At the
church In Shenandoah where Mr. Morri
son is n preacher. I mean the Presbyter
Ian church.
O. From your view of vonr God do von
believe that on oath that j'ou tnke either
by kissing the book or by swearing by the
uplifted hand or any of the methods we
ore accustomed to admlnlsteritii; In a
court of justice, and you should follow It
up by a violation of thnt oath or so called
administration f A. If I make an oath I
never violate it.
O. I am not nskimr thnt. I snv If von
should violate your oath do von believe
that that will have nny effect on your
welfare in a future world, not In this
world, hut In n future world A. Cer
tainly, morally 1 do.
Q. In a future world ' A. I think so.
Q. Do you believe that this God in na
ture will punish you for it or do you
believe that your own conscience will bo
your own punishment t A. My belief Is
if I die I think I will be merged In the
same primitive power In the same God, so
I consider myself nud everybody else ns a
turt of the primitive being ot the Supreme
neing 01 tne universe.
Q. Yon consider every human being Is
n part 01 uon nuuseii r a. ves,sir.
0. In other word". the earth Is nart of God
the flrinaiient is part of God and you nro
part of God f A. Yes, sir; there Is tho
same force In us nnd Is manifested In the
universe and therefore I consider thnt
pnttoltnat power Is In me ns well ns in
you.
Q You do not believe there Is n dhtlnct
beiug.iiistuict irom the universe and from
yourself nnd mvself who rules over crea-
tion r A. I do not expect there Is a being
Hke myself with hnlr and benrd and
hnnds and feet.
Q. Of which neither the earth or the
flrmanent or yourself or myself are part
and who controls A. I have nothing to
pay out wuni 1 uave sain, 1 mean n ou
lireme Delnu like mvself.
Q. Then you do not believe thnt God
created man after his own image, this God
of yours, do you P A. Probably not.
Q. Is It a matter ot belief with you that
he did or did not create man nfter his
own image f A. As to this point the
science comes Into there might be n
matter of belief nnd there might be nn
other thlmr. Thnt Is a nunstlon of science
Q. You have signed yourself hero rts n
solentlet f A. 1 do not think mv God
wants to shave a beard like myself or
you.
Q. Why is it yon keep telling ub about
this oenru wiinour being asKed nhout it.
Is it not a fact that Anarchists and Nihil
ists have agreed to wear their beard and
hair a certalu way so they can recognize
each other? A. I cannot say because I
am not an Anarchist. It may lie you
know, I do not know anything nt all.
Q. Have you not said in public places In
making addresses, you did not believe in
a God or courts of justice. A. I never
mnde n statement like thnt where I would
have deuled the existence of the God that
I concleve, thnt I believe In.
Q. Did you deny the existence of a God
in nny shape, not the way you concleve t
A. I do not think I did. except If you
might sny the pictures of God and the
Saints or God that are placed In hones.
That I admit thnt such a God I do not
believe In.
Q. You do not mean to sny you have
seen the pictures of God In any house t
A. Our people do believe so.
Q. You mean pictures of Christ f A. No,
sir; I do not mean Christ, I mean God.
Q. God himself f A. Yes, sir; our
people have such pictures nnd I always
said I do not believe In such n God nnd
therefore before I told you I did not be
lieve In a God who has hnlr and hnnds
nnd teet, because it is among our peoph
current.
Q. Is it not a fact you delivered discus
sions or lectures in the public school in
evenings nt Shenandoah t A. Yes, sir; I
delivered scientific lrctures but not ou
this subject.
Q. Not ou the subject of religion at all t
A. No sir.
Q. State whether or not you were not
debnrred by the School Board from further
doing It because you were talking of
things A. It is everything a lie. nnd let
me explnin what it was. It is a lie.
batlur Demsky was teaching several
Lithuanian men In the puplic school In
the evening nnd I visited once this school
to see what he is tenchinif. nnd I found he
wns teaching nrlthmetlc nnd A. 11. C's in
luiglish and A. J. C's in Lithuanian.
These people who never wercln thetchool,
nnd nniong others 1b Mr. Rodzlewlcz and
tlie second man was Rogers. They went
helore the school Board, especially Mr.
O'Harn, and accused me I am teaching In
the school Atheism and Anarchism, nnd
I went myself befoie the School Board
and they examined me why I wns in the
i-cnooi or why i was teaching something
like that and they found It out it was nil
false and then I madu a public publica
tion In the Sheiiaiidonh HKItALD that
thoe gentlemen, piomlnent citlzet s and
nominent business men, nre prumlurnt
lars. Ibis Is the statement of the fact
that recurred.
O Did not you unit teachiuii in the
cluol ? A. I neei iiiught thete.
y. Did not deliver ! rturcs there ? A.
No, sir : not lu the public school. It Is n
falsehood.
Q. I menu in the evening f A. If you
menu of public lectin is I did, because I
used to lectuie duringtwowinterseasons.
Q. Did not you there teach atheism ?
A. No, sir; not in the sense you claim
Q. In what sense did ou teach atheism?
A. I never taught atheism.
O. Why did you sav not In thn sense wn
look upon atheism f A. Because you have
examined me whether I believe like my
country people do.
v. xuu nu uui, neueve line yourcountry
people do t A. I have said before I do not
believe In these pictures that nre placed
In the houses and are said to be repre
sentations of God.
Q. Is it not n fact you went into a
church while they were going through
their forms of ceremonies with your hnt
on f A. No, sir ; never in my llletlmo. It
is n lie. Whoever nsserts it is a liar.
They nre misrepresenting me because I
left the Catholic church. Wo made a
public protest In Jannnry against the
Russian Czar nnd the Pope of Rome nnd
I am persecuted nnd piosecuted by those
who dislike me. People thnt hlndted u.e,
In the. way Mr. Whitehouse is hindering
me nt the same time.
Q. It Is not n fact you deserted nil
churches oud denounced all churches. A.
It is not because 1 frequent the Presbyter
Ian church nnd I think Mr. Glover can
testify to It.
Q. Have you embraced the Presbyterian
faith ? A. I am trying to learn It.
Q. You have not yet learned It or not
yet embraced it is thnt it t A. I could
not tell yet because It would bo very hnrd
to state.
Q. Is It not a fact you denounced tho
government and courts of justice, &c t
A. Never; no. sir. Otherwise 1 could not
hnve n case In the same court If 1 would
deny the courta and the government.
CJ. Do you believe In the existence of an
Omnipresent Being f A I nm a Deist.
Q. Do you believe in theexistenceof tho
Omnipresent Being who will reward and
punish here or hereafter for good ami evil
deeds t A. I think I nnswered the ques
tion before, that I morally do.
Q. Is not your belief only If you violate
a law of nature son will be punished t Is
not that It f A. If I violate n law of
nature I will 1 punished In my health or
something like that. I might die. If I
violate the law of the country I think I
can be imprisoned, &c.
Q. Is not that the extent of your belief,
if you put your hand lu hot wnter you
violate n Inw of nature and you will bo
scalded if it is hot enough f A. Would
you deny yourself you would not scald
yourself If you would put your hand into
hot water.
Q Is not that tho extent of your bollef
if you am conflicting with nature, which
Is your God, nnd bound to be punished ?
A. I did not sny before nature Is my God.
Q. You said a God In nature f A. Yes,
sir: I told you before I understand the
existence of God In nature. That Is some
what different to that whnt you sny that
nature Is my God. That iu quite a differ
ent thing.
Q. It is only n part of your God f A. It
Is quite a dllieretit thing.
Q. Is not your belief n belief In a power
ns exhibited by the force of nature and is
not that what you call Supreme P A. I
told you, gentlemen, before, the power In
nnture I believe In is n creative power; is
so to sny, nn omniscient power, a creative
omniscient power nnd existed everywhere.
Q. Is not what you coll God the force of
nature f A. 1 do not clnlm my God is out
side of nature.
Q. Does not your God that you believe
