JO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Charles O. Kiil.er Will Pnco n July on
Dee. 7 Neit.
Nlr:i;isiow, Ph., Nov. 21. Charles O.
Kaiser has Ijeen held to answer for tho
murder of his wife, Kmma 1'. Kaiser, who
wmish'it mid Instantly killed on a lonely
roar' near Ilrldgeport on tho night of Oct.
88. Tho verdict rendered by tho coroner's
Jury last ovonlng holds him responsible
for 1 it death, ami adds that ho was nldod
by ujiknown jiersons In a scheme to de
frniil insurance companion. Kaiser was
comjiiittcd to prison, and Doc. 7 has been
fixed for his trial.
When tho murder wns committed tho
couple were driving homo from Gulf Mills,
ft Ylljngo near Ilrldgeport, whoro thoy had
been! delivering crayon portraits from their
storalu this city. Tho first nowa of the
crimp wns obtained by Frnnk Mnnclll, n
Noriistown hotclkocpcr, who found Kaiser
mad y circling about tho rond, shrieking
"inn -dor," while in tho onrringo nearby
lay t locorpso of his wife, with a bullet in
tho 1 oad. Kaiser's story wns that tho mur
der had beon committed by hlghwaymon,
who -robbed thorn of valuables, jowolry
and jnonoy. Next day, howovor, tho goods
word found hidden undor'stonos along tht,
road) nnd suspicion wns directed townrds
tho husband.
Sulisenuont dovelopmonts proved thnt
tho woman's lifo Iiad recently been in
surotj In a nunilwr of companies for her
husband s benefit for an aggregate sum
of $10,500 and that tho couple had not
lived happily together. A mysterious
man find woman, known to have been ill'
tlnmtely associated with Kaiser, aro lm
plicated. Detcctlvos aro searching for
thorn, and tho enso bids fair to Iw rich In
startling revelations. Tho team in which
Kaiser and his wlfo redo has been Identi
fied no one stolen from ox-Mayor Jack'
son Of Gloucester, N. J. It was hired
Sept. 5 by tho mysterious woman and
novel1 returned.
ThOevldonco adduced forms n strong
circumstantial chain around Kaiser. It
Is snld that, whllo denying his own guilt.
Kaiser has admitted to detectives that ho
knows tho murderer, but will not roveal
his identity.

No little interest has been nrou.ed In this
district by the announcement that Division
superintendent George Scott, of tho Phila
delphia & lioading Coal it Iron Company, hns
given ardors for the discharge of sixteen
Hungarians, Poles and Lithuanians who are
now engaged ns fliuuicn and helpers In the
boiler houses of collieries in tho vicinity of
Malianoy Plane. The interest manifested
hero arises from tho fact that Mr. Scott
recently assumed personal jurisdiction of
many of tho company's collieries in and about
Shenandoah, as well as those 111 the (iilber
ton valley, and it Is believed that his system
of re-orgnnizntion will bo felt hero within a
-hort time, although it is stated that if tlieie
aro any changes locally they will not be as
many in tho samo lino as at Mabanoy Plane,
because but cotnparitlvely few Poles, Lithu
anians ami Hungarians hold positions as
firemen at the collieries in tlds vicinity.
It appears that tho action taken by Super
intendent Scott is not based upon any preju
dice against nationality, hut is taken purely
as a safeguard against nccldcnt. Mr. Scott
has made careful investigation and satisfied
himself that the men to be discharged aro
not sulliciently reliablo to hold tho responsible
position of lircmau in boiler housos. It is
claimed that the recent boiler explosion at
tlio C'eutrnlia colliery, in which several men
lost their lives and others were injured, was
due to tho employment of foreigners who
could have averted tho accident had they
po.sessed a mere intelligent idea of their
duties. Theio is no dispute about tho
industry, faithfulness and anxiety uf the
poaplo in question to perform their
duties well, but it Is claimed that ignorance of
the Lnglish language prevents thoso peoplo
from acquiring :i knowledge of their duties
which the positions and tho safety of the
man- peoplo employed about collieries de
mand. Their ignorance of the language
prevents them from fully understanding the
instructions given them and disaster fro
ipicntly follows.
It is said the system of reform will not bo
restricted to boiler houses, hut will he carried
to tho breakers, jig houses, scraper lines,
shafts, slopes and planes and nil uther places
where machinery is involved and wherever
men lire found who are in positions which re
quire them to have a band in the operation
of machinery and they are only able to re
ceive Instructions by signs, or through in-
tcrpieters, they will no lemovcd and men
who understand the Lnglish laugmigo will
! put in their places. That there will be
general sweeping of Poles, Lithuanians and
Hungarians from tho positions referred to is
not to be expected. Tlierulowili not apply
to those who have acquired a sullicient
knowledge of tho Lnglish language to enable
them to intelligently receive instructions and
make known what is required. A mine
otlicial said to-day, "The movement is a good
one. I find some men among tiio classes
affected do not receive it very favorably, but
when it is properly considered no one
irrespective of nationality, can complain, as
it is fur the benefit of all tho many thousands
of men and boys who are employed in mid
about tho mines. '
Upon being interviewed by a reporter on
tho subject to-day Mino Inspector llliam
Stein said : "It lias beon my oxperienco
throughout my inspection district that many
foreigners have been killed and maimed on
account of being ignorant of tho dangers
that present themselves, in not being ablo to
fully understand how boilers ought to bo
treated. There aro many who cannot un
derstand what tho foremen say and, there
fore, cannot bo considered qualified to take
important positions cither inside or outside
of a mine. In many cases tho foreigners
who never before worked in or nbout the
mines are a great source of danger to their
fellow workmen, because wliere gas is gen
crated they often get burned themselves, as
well as causing the burning of those work
ing near them. I know of a great many of
them, howover, who aro good workmen and
some of our best gangway miners belong to
tho foreign element. I bcliovo that heads
and bottoms of shafts, slopes and planes
should bo manned by intelligent Lnglish
spcakiug people, and mino but tho best ex
perienced should be employed in boiler
houses uud about breaker machinery, and in
connection with all their department. .1
have known Sir. Scott many years and any
steps ho may tako to remove workmen from
a boiler house, or other place of work, at any
of the collieries In his division is done with
a view to protect lifo and property."
