FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1903. FAKE SCHOOL ON THE RACK Methods of an Alleged In stitute Revealed. Hearings Before the Deputy Attorney General Develop Accusations Against Weil- Known Company. A hearing was held before Deputy Attorney General Fleltz at Harrisburg yesterday afternoon In three proceed ings against the Correspondence Insti tute of America at Seranton, one against the amendment to the charter, one to annul its charter and one against granting a new charter. The protests were made by correspondence schools in Scranton, New York, Chicago and Delaware and for the purpose of getting at the facts witnesses were called to show that the Correspondence Institute of America wan not doing a legitimate business. Students testified that promises were made to them that were never fulfilled, that the institute authorities promised to buy their work and did not do so and while they were not charged for tuition they were compelled to pay sls for material which they alleged could be bought for a dollar. President Alton Clark, of the insti tute, who is also a inornber of the facul ty, was placed on the stand and said that the degree of M. A. was given him by boy companions in his younger days and that the alleged faculty contained names that were used by him and his associates as nom de plumes. A witness named Johnson, who was connected with the institute, testified that he had enrolled as a student with a Chicago school and on securing the questions of the institute copied thorn and sent them out as original. This latter transaction will figure In the United States court at Wiliiamsport when the institute will answer a charge of using the mails for fraudulent pur poses. It was developed that the criticisms sent by the institute to the students were also similar and one student testi fied that he purposely made the sun shine in two different directions, which error was passed uncorrected by the faculty. St. Patrick's Day. Not for many years past have the de votees of St. Patrick been favored with more appropriate weather for an out door celebration ef the day than was granted them yesterday. With a warm sun overhead and streets that were per fectly dry, those who participated in the local parade had no cause to com plain. The ranks of the societies In line were well filled and the demonstra tion was a creditable one. In the morning a high mass was cele brated at St. Ann's church by Rev. M. J. Pallihee, which was well attended. The entertainment given by St. Ann's band in the evening furnished amuse ment for a large number of people. Many of the younger folks, however, at tended balls held at McAdoo, Buck Mountain and Uazleton. Several of the collieries began opera tions, but owing to the few miners who responded for work they were compelled to shut down and by noon all the mines of this vicinity were idle. The fine weather drew hundreds of people from outside villages to town, but the day passed off pleasantly and with out disorder of any kind. Pottsville Defeated. Basket ball took on new life yester day and the result was that the largest audience for some time past was on hand to see the game between the Cres cents and the strong Pottsville team. It proved to be the best played and liveliest exhibition of the game yet seen here and resulted in a victory for the Crescents by a score of 17 to 14. The first half opened lively and in a mix-up Referee Herbst gave the visitors a free throw on a foul. They failed to score, but followed by shooting a basket. Nowak, for the locals, shot for a basket and while the ball was falling through the net Captain Swaving, of Pottsville, jumped and batted it out. The basket was scored. The locals missed a free throw and scored a basket on a throw by Welsh. Pottsville scored a basket and the locals failed to make a mark on a free throw, but scored on two throws bv Welsh and one by Hartman. Potts ville scored. The score at this time was: Crescents, 10; Pottsville, 6. The locals added another mark on a free throw and the visitors two baskets straight. The locals missed a free throw and Pottsville 9cored a basket. Hartman shot for a successful basket and the half was brought to a close with the score 13 to 12 in favor of the Cres cents. The second half opened with both teams fresh and the way they robbed and stole baskets from one another fired the audience to an enthusiastic pitch. Pottsville did their utmost to ecore often, but succeeded In making only one bask et. O'Donnell and Hartman each scor ed baskets for the locals. The ball was constantly on the go and both teams played a great game. The score for the half was: Crescents, 4; Pottsville, 2. The final score was: Crescents, 17; Pottsville, 14. The line-up follows: Crescents. Positions. Pottsville. Nowak Forward Gregory O'Donnell Forward Kelloy Welsh Centre Swaving Davis Guard Potts Hartman Guard Paul Goals from field—Welsh, 3; Hartman, 3; Gregory, 3; SwaviDg, 2; Nowak, O'Donnell, Paul, Potts. Offense goul— Welsh. Referee— Herbst. Timekeeper—Whackley. Time—2o minute halves. New Style Mileage Books. On May 1 six of the leading trunk lines will put into effect an interchange able mileage book. This was decided yesterday between the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio, Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western, Lehigh Valley, Erie and the Chesapeake and Ohio com panies. These interchangeable books will be good over all lines above named. They are to be issued as the rate of 330 a 1,000 miles, which is 310 a book more than is charged at the present time. But the extra amount is to be returned to the purchaser if he lives up to the contract. This amount is put on so as to prevent the books from getting into the hands of scalpers. Second Victim Dies. Another victim has been added to the early Sunday morning tragedy on the streets of Plttston by tho death of James Kearney In Pittston hospital. Kearney at no time was able to give a rational account of the affray. He lingered in a semi-conscious condition, lie was aged 32 years and bore an excel lent reputation. The Pittston authorities, County De tective Jones and local detectives have been hard at work on the case since Sunday morning and it is thought that some arrests will soon be made. The funeral of Anthony Me Hugh, who was instantly killed during the shooting, took place this afternoon. Shenandoah Riot Cases. At Pottsville on Monday Judge Bechtel sentenced five of the defendants in the trial growing out of tho riot In Shenandoah which lead up to tho fatal beating of Joseph Beddall.

Brady & Grlsmor.—ln thank ing you for the privilege of witnessing the production of "Way Down East," I will not attempt to particularize Its many excellencies. Speaking generally, I congratulate you for placing before the public in such an admirable and artistic manner a play that Is so free from that which Is objectionable, and at the same time so rich in wholesome amusement. While the supporting company proved themselves to be thorough artists, the charming and graceful acting of "Anna" gave the rendition of the play a peculiar degree of pleasure. Hoping that I shall soon have an op portunity to express in person my appre ciation of your courtesy, believe me, with cordial regards to your family, Sincerely yours, Rev. George W. Eccles. Mr. Brady's company of high-class actors and actresses will appear In this famous play at the Graud opera house tomorrow evening.

He presents many new 9leight-of-hand tricks in addition to the most clever of his old ones. All his illusions are entirely new, original and intensely mystifying, while his tests in telepathy are really startling and utterly unfathomable. X X X "One Night in June" was well played before a small audience on Monday evening. The specialties rendered by several members of the company were very good. COURT NOTES. In an opinion handed down by Judge Halsey the application of certain mem bers of the Slavonic Evangelical Union of America for a preliminary Injunction against the officers of the organization is refused.
