ISSUED BOGUS
CERTIFICATES
Members of Third District
Board Under Bail.
Accused of Giving Miners'
Certificates to Men Not
Qualified to Receive Them.
Peace Rumors Denied.
As a result of the Unltod Mlno Work
ers' Investigation regarding the alleged
issuing of illegal mining certificates,
giving their holders tbo right to be
miners, three arrests were made yester
day, the accused men being P. Wyoda,
William Jenkins and George Llolbert,
members of the Third District
Miners' Examining Hoard. Wyoda is
also a deputy sheriff.
A score of witnesses appeared and
evidence regarding seven certificates
were given. It was alleged that men
holding the illegal certificates are now
at work in the collieries about Wilkes
barre and It was also stated that some
were Issued bufore and some since the
strike. Each of the accused gave bail
before Justice M ulderig for trial. Other
arresis are expected to follow.
The union men believe that a number
of the inen employed by the companies
are working on Illegal certificates and
they hope to be able to have them ar
rested and ousted from the mines.
The penalty for the offense of which
Wyoda and his companions are charged
Is a fine of 8200 or one year's Imprison
ment, or both. The office of the offend
er upon couviction shall be declared
vacant and he shall be deemed ineligible
longer to act as a board member. The
persons holding the fraudulent certifi
cates and the mine foreman or super
intendent knowingly permitting them to
work without them are liable to a fine
of not less than 8100 nor more than 8500,
or Imprisonment of not less than thirty
days or more than six months, or both.
The prosecutor in the fraudulent
mining certificate cases was the com
monwealth, but behind It appeared fel
low-members of the examining board of
the three men accused.
False certificates, Mr. Mitchell al
leges, have been found at the Maltby
colliery and others in that locality and
near Plymouth, and other arrests are
expected. The union officials will wage
a war of relentless prosecution against
this violation of the law.
PEACE 111'MORS DENIED.
President Mitchaol last night entered
emphatic denial to the fresh crop of
peace rumors that have sprung up with
in the past twenty-four hours. He re
peated again his oft-made declaration
that he has up tudate received no over
tures from the operators looking toward
settlement nor has ho presented any to
them.
Equally elusive wore all attempts to
find a substantial basis for rumors that
a 10 per cent advance would be offered
to the men as an inducement to return
to work. Some individual operators
have made proffers, In one instance as
big as a 20 per cent raiso, but the policy
of 1002 will bo maintained in the present
strike, and either all will return to work
or all will remain out.
President John Mitchell has turned
down a proposition made by New York
banking Interests, to the effect that If
Mr. Mitchell would call the strike off
and have the miners return to their
labors thero would bo an increase in
wages and an arbitration of differences.
Mr. Mitchell sent the following message
in reply: "Cannot accept your sugges
tion that men resume work with hope
of future adjustment of differences.
Will agree to have conference with rep
resentatives of coal companies, if the
differences can be settled."
President Mitchell will deliver the
principal address this afternoon at a
mass meeting to be held at Priceburg,
near Scranton. On Saturday ho will
go to New York, where he will speak in
the evening at the open-air mass meet
ing to be held at Madison Square Gar
den.
WHOLESALE ARRESTS.
There was renewed activity shown
this week by the special officers in the
lower end of the county, those of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company and Coxe
Pros. & Co. making themselves particu
larly busy. At ila/.leton yesterday a
dozen coal pickers were arrested at
flazle Mines bank and marched before
Alderman Hess, who fined them. Some
paid and others were sent to jail.
Five Hazle Brook men who were in a
crowd that gathered Tuesday night at
the railroad station in that town to hear
tiie result of the Democratic county con
vention were taken before Alderman
Bucbenau, charged with rioting, and
were placed under 8300 ball each.
William Dettrey, executive board
FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1902.
member of District 7, was arraigned be
fore Alderman Bucbenau charged by
Peter Shulk with rioting at Derringer
Monday night. The defendant furnish
ed evidence that he was In Hazleton at
the time and was discharged. Dettrey
then brought suit agaln9t Mrs. Mary
Shulk, his accuser, charging her with
perjury. She waived a hearing, furn
ishing S3OO bail.
Deputy Sheriff and Coal and Iron
Officer Isaac Eckert was peace-preser
ver at the Dottrey bearing and because
two Crystal Ridge men smiled at him
when he read the riot act both were
arrested and placed under S3OO ball.
The efforts of tho corporations to fill
the county jails with mine workers on
trumped-up charges promises to become
a boomerang, as suits for false arrest
are to be instituted in every case where
inen arrested can prove their innocence.
• BISHOP FALLOWS HERE.
Bishop Samuel Hallows, of Chicago,
tho head of the Reformed Episcopal
Church, arrived at Pottsville yesterday
to investigate tho strike situation. Af
ter making a tour of a large number of
collieries, Bishop Fallows said: "I find
the tie-up of the collieries In the lower
section of the Schuylkill region Visited
by me to bo coinpleto. No coal Is being
mined. I look for the speody ending of
tho strike, and still believe that both
sides should submit their differences to
arbitration."
Bishop Fallows left last evening for
Wllkesbarre. Ho announced that he In
tends to take the platform arid urge sys
tematic relief for tho families of tho
striking miners as soon as ho returns
homo.
Dispute Amicably Adjusted.
A dispute over tho right of plumbers
to bore pipe-holes in tho fioor and cell
ing of tho Neußurger store arose yes
terday botwoen S. J. Neußurger, man
ager of the store, and William Birk
beck's employes, and resulted in the
stopping of tho work. The matter was
laid before the trustees of the P. O. S.
of A. building, In which tho 9tore is
located, and they gave orders last even
ing to proceed with the contract.
When an attempt to fulfill these
orders was made this morning the work
men wore refused admittance by Mr.
Neußurger, and for a time It looked as
though the affair would result seriously
for some of the contending parties.
Dr. G. Mord Neußurger later appear
ed on tho scene and with Attorney
Stroh, counsel for the trustees, amicably
arranged the disputed question and the
work was completed by Mr. Birkbeck's
employes.
Guilty of Manslaughter.
Emit Ila/.lr, charged with the murder
of John Shlgo at Stockton, was tried
this weok. The defendant's attorney
argued that Shlgo had attacked Hazir
and the latter struck him in self-defense
and had no thought of killing the man.
He made an earnest plea for acquittal.
The assistant district attorney arguod
that tho commonwealth had shown that
tho killing of Shlgo was not in self de
fense and was unwarranted. He said
tho commonwealth would expect a ver
dict of guilty of murder In the first de
gree.
The jury returned a verdict of man
slaughter yesterday morning, and the
prisoner will be sentenced tomorrow.

exhibition for the farmer and mechanic,
the merchant and house-keeper, but
also for the horseman and all lovers of

world of 2.04%, a record which prob

claim.
The free attractions before the grand

secured at an enormous expense, includ
ing baloon ascensions, cycle whirl, a
troupe of Japanese vaudeville artists
and a great many other attractions too
numerous to mention. Besides band

at any fair in the county.
All the railroads will run excursions
and sell excursion tickets at greatly re
duced prices good for the whole week,
and daily special excursions will be run
from all points. It certainly will be tbe
place to go for all those who want to see
the greatest fair in the country.
