FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1903.

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:

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. A sentence
of tho payment of the costs and 325
fines and two years' imprisonment were

THEATRICAL
All Saints' Church, Bay Side, New York.
Messrs. 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.

Years of practice, experience and
travel havo had telling effect upon
Magician Keene's entertaining powers
and today he stands at the head of the
list of magicians In this country, both as
mystlfier and entertainer. 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.

"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. A number of Freeland
people were interested In the case and
tho decision was awaited with much
interest.
The court has affirmed tho decision of
Alderman Fallon in the case of John
Cunningham vs. F. M. Everett, In
which the former was successful In the
suit growing out of the occupancy of a
property iu town by tho latter after
tho same had been purchased by Mr.
Cunningham.
