Is president of the borough council,was the next witness. He swore:

"1 saw three of the guards shootingat the crowd who were running away."

"How were these men armed?""They appeared to be armed with

Winchester rifles."The witness was asked to point out

some of the guards, and selected HarryDickson, F. M. Kinney and HarryGoodrich.

The witness, on cross examination,told of complaints about the washerytrough which crossed the street andwas a nuisance.

Mr. Lenahan said the trough re-

mained there for years and that thiswas a ba,se conspiracy to prevent Mr.Warnke from operating his washery.

"What was the ciowd doing there?"asked Mr. Lenahan.

He Locates "Scabs.""They were laughing and joking

about the scabs.""About hcabs? Who are scabs?""Those men who took other men's

places.""Did notyou Jbaknt threat that all

"No, sir; I did not.""You sent a telegram to the gover-

nor not to send troops?""Yes, I did.""You swore out warrants against the

iWendants, did you?""Yes, after the shooting. I did not

know their names and swore warrantsout tor John Doe."

"You arrested the crowd un that onewarrant?"

"Yes; we got their names and Issuedanother warrant when we got them Inthe lock-up.- "

After some further questions, the wit-ness denied that Mr. Warnke was pre-vented from starting his washery andadded that be could start it any timewithout molestation if he could controlhis guards.

Could Not Bemember Rioters.Mr. Joyce said he lived at Duryea for

fifteen years, but could not give thenames of any In the crowd.

Frederick Warnke, the owner of thewashery where the Uot occurred, saysthe acquittal of the deputies will Justifyhim In starting up the washery againand he has served notlve on SheriffJacobs that If he does not provide ampleprotection for his woikmen and propertyon Wednesday he will make an appealto the governor for troops,

The beginning of the fifteenth weekof the strike shows no apparent changeIn the situation. It was thought thatthe Lehigh Valley company would starttheir Maltby colliery today and earlythis morning a number of strikersgathered In the vicinity of the mine butno effort was made to resume work.

Judge Halsey received a postal cardfrom Washington, D, C, today. Thewriter signs himself Herman Mueller,United States minister of war and mar-shal!. Mueller threatens to send UnitedStates tioops Into the strike region andhe will not remove them until theUnited Stntes'nibltratlon law Is obeyed.The strike may have unsettled the writer's mind.

STRIKER SHOTAT LANSFORD

A Clash Between Miners andDeputies Results

Fatally.

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.

, Nesquehonlng1, Pa., Aug. 18. In aclash between striking mine workersand deputies here tonight, PatrickSharp, a striker, of Lansford, was shotand almost instantly killed, by adeputy. The shooting caused consider-able excitement for a time, but orderwas soon restored without any otherpersons being injured and the town isnow quiet. A deputy named HarryMcElmoyle was arrested charged withthe killing of Sharp and was takento the county jail at Mauch Chunk. Theshooting occurred shortly after 6o'clock. Five deputies were on theirway to shaft No. 1, of the Lehigh Coaland Navigation company just outsideof the town. In the center of the townthey were met by a number of strikerswho began persuading them not togo to the colliery. The officers did notstop but kept on their way and triedto prevent any trouble. The strikers,it Is said, then began to abuse themen and followed up near to the col-

liery. Theie are conflicting stories asto what actually brought on the clash,but just before the deputies enteredthe place a shot was heard and Sharpdropped to the ground. The bullet en-

tered his body o'os- - to'bls-hea- rt and hedied almost instantly. Witnesses saythat the shooting was done by McEl-moyle and that he stood only six orseven feet from Sharp when he firedhis revolver. Only one shot was fired.

The deputies immediately withdrew tothe colliery and a large crowd gatheredabout the place. When it was learnedthat Sharp was dead there was thegreatest indignation among the strikersand other townpeople, and for a time Itlooked as though serious trouble wouldfollow. Cooler heads among the mineworkers, however, prevailed upon thecrowd to disperse, using the atgumentthat If there is any bloodshed troopswould surely be sent heie from Shen-andoah. The crowd dispersed and thetown soon calmed down to Its normalstate.

Witnesses to the shooting went tothe oftice of W. R. Watklns, the jus-tice of the peace and made informa-tion against Harry McElmoyle charg-ing him with the shooting of Sharp.The justice placed the warrant in thehands of Constable Dockert who foundMcElmoyle at Shaft No. 1 and accom-panied by a guard of other officers tookhis prisoner to the county jail at MauchChunk.

Sheriff J. II. Gombert, of this (Car-bon) county, Is at Mauch Chunk, Itis reported that he may ask that

of the tioops now stationedat Shenandoah be sent Into the PantherCieek Valley.

Brest, France, Aug. 18. The attemptmade by the authorities today to cloiethe sisters' schools at Ploudaniel, Fol-goet and St. Meen, the last villages InUritanny where unauthorized schoolswere still open, Is meeting with deter-mined resistance. The inhabitantswere on guard throughout the night,and the tocsin was sounded when theapproach of the gendarmes and troopswere signalled at 9 o'clock In the morn-ing. At Ploudaniel, In spite of a heavyfall of rain, a crowd numbering sev-eral thousand people replied with hootsto the summons of the police commis-saries, while the ringing of church andschool bells drowned the voices of theofficials. When an attempt was madeto force the barricaded door it failed,the defenders in the meanwhile cry-ing, "Judas," and singing Bretonhymns, mingled with cheers for libertyand shouts of "Down with Combes."The commissaries tried to attack theschool by the garden wall, which theyordered the soldiers to breach. Thiswas done in the midst of showers offilth and muddy water from the de-

fenders, who manned the breach, armedwith clubs, and prevented the commis-saries from penetrating into the gar-den. The soldiers attempted to scalethe wall with the aid of a pile offaggots, but the defenders deluged thefaggots with petroleum and set themon fire, whereupon the commissariesand troopsdrew off, amidst cheers forliberty nnd 'for the sisters.

At St. Meen, the sisters were ex-pelled and the school was closed, aftera two hours' struggle, during which apolice commissary was wounded.

Later, after a long resistance, theclosing of the school at Ploudaniel waseffected by the authorities.

The school at Folgoet was alsoclosed.

After the repulse at the garden wallof the school at Ploudaniel, the commis-saries decided to await reinforcements.Tn the meantime, Senator Pichon andCounsellor General Soublgou persuadedthe defenders of the school to open thedoor.

After this had been done, the sisterswalked to the church and were givenan ovation by the crowd. The com-missaries entered the school and madean Inventory of the property. Theythen sealed the doors.

In the course of the rioting, two gen-dasm- es

were slightly wounded. Theleading Inhabitants of Ploudaniel havetaken the expelled sisters to theirhomes. Similar, though less violent,

attended the closing of theschools and the expulsion of the sistersnt Folgoet and St. Mnen.
