It will bo for Secretary Taft and Acting Secretary Bacon to determine for themselves this fact. The programme of exercises was carried out In the evening at Memorial hall, Governor Harris presiding. The speakers were William R. Day, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States; John W.

Secret service men, aMert by local authorities, have been working up their case against the passers of counterfeit money, with the result that a strong case has been made out against the woman.

The legislature appropriated $25,000. " 'Duijng the performance,' continues Lambourne's affidavit, whereby the credulity and the gullibility of the public is sought to be aroused In order to advance the sale of the dreambook, Mrs. Pay, pretending to be in some imaginary state of mind reading or mesmerism, calls upon the audience to write questions upon papers, sign them with their names, and keep their minds upon the matter written about with the promise that the questions asked will be correctly answered.

Testified Yesterday. Harrisburg, Sept. 16.—The hearing In the Congressional contest between Congressman Palmer and Dr. Coblcigh Harrlsburg has been an unceasing grind all day today. The only thing out of the ordinary Is the probability, amounting almost to a certainty, that the hearing will drag over until Monday. At the beginning of the a'ternoon session it seems Impossible that all the rebuttal testimony to be advanced by Dr. Cobleigh can be squeezed into the few hours remaining. The case will likely be concluded on Monday. •'Those who do not favor the existence of the constabulary must voice their convictions at the ballot box, not in disorder.

Mrs. Gonzarre had been a patron of the Roginsky store for the past two or three years, and Mr. Roginsky and his family knew her well by sight.

They testified he yelled 'scab' at them, a term of opprobrium among labor unions. Simple hooting or laughing is not a cause for arrest, but officers of the State police have decided that the yelling of the word 'scab' Is cause for arrest. They dislike the term and have Issued an order prohibiting the yelling of the word. As for myself, I think the ofTense of the man arrested was a trivial one. Probably If he had been brought before me for trial he would have oSten acquitted.

Commander Colwell replied that he was unable to Interfere and that President Falina was communicating with Washington In the matter. The emissaries stated that Zayas has telegraphed to the insurgent commander of every province to cease fighting because negotiations were pending for surrender to the American naval com- Thls afternoon is being given up to rebuttal testimony by Dr. Cobleigh's side. Nothing startling has been presented, and the hearing Is of a humdrum; nature. Mr. Palmer Is very hopeful of winning, judging that the court cannot help being impressed by the h'gh character of the witnesses who have testified in his behalf. This, he thinks, will have great weight with the court in~ its decision. The latest programme that can be gleaned is that the hearing of witnesses will bo closed, if possible, today, and that the closing arguments will be made on Monday. At this rate the caBe should bo In the hands of the judges by Monday evening at the latest. Mr. Roginsky took the money, but, as his sight Is poor, he detected nothing wrong with the silver. It was discovered next day that it was counterfeit, and Max Roginsky, jr., wont to the woman's home, in Browntown, and demanded good money for it. The woman refused to take it back and said she got it from a boardor. who had moved to Scrantofi. Twice afterward an effort was made to have her take back the counterfeit coins, but she refused. Mr. Roginsky threatened to prosecute her, but did not do so for business reasons. "Those men have Instructions from their superior officer to make arrests of people who Insulted them. Assuming they made arrests In good faith, according to orders, they had a right to do so. government. Her peace, prosperity and independence are now menaced, for of all possible evils that ran befall Cuba the worst is the evil of anarchy, into which civil war and revolutionary disturbances will assurely throw her. " 'The audience being mystified, tho plaintiff, John Fay, makes an announcement that Mrs. Fay cannot bo seen privately, and can be corresponded with only upon the purchase of her book, which contains a coupon authorizing the purchaser to correspondj with her. It is also announced that the purchaser will receive a fac simile of an Egyptian coin worn by Mrs. Fay, known as the 'Fay mascot,' which Is supposed to bring good luck to the person who carries It.' "Everybody has a right to be on the street, but he must take into consideration the facts that when rioting or semi-military law exists he takes his life in his own hands. The helmet of Melkrantz shows a dent anfl brick dust, and the defendants had a right to protect their prisoner. "Whoever Is responsible for armed revolution and outrage, whoever Is responsible in any way for the condition of the affairs that now obtains, is an enemy of Cuba, and doubly heavy Is the responsibility of the man who, affecting to he the especial champion of Cuban independence, takes any step which will jeopardize that Independence, for there is Just one way In which Cuban Independence can be secured, and that la for the Cuban people to show their ability to continue in their path of peaceful and orderly progress. Killed by a 8neeze. All doubt that Mrs. Gonzarre was the woman who passed the bad money on Roginsky was removed by a statement of Max Roginsky, jr., that he had seen the woman taken to the Laurel Line station on her way to the Lackawanna county jail and that she was the one who had said she got the bad money from a boarder. The hearing in her case is set for 4 p. m. Tuosday and that of the men for 8:30 a. m. Wednesday. New York, Sept. 15.—Charles Pfeffer, a grocer, of West New York, N. J., when delivering goods fell dead as he was about to enter the gate leading to the home of one of Ills customers. He sneezed loudly and immediately sank to the ground.

President Palma has been granted by an extreme measure of congress the power to triple the force of rural guards, to double the force of artillery and the right to appropriate all public funds for the vigorous prosecution of the wgr. "As an Instance of tho Fays' methods, Lambourne tells that a man in the audience on one occasion produced a letter from ex-Judge Alton B. Parker and asked to have its contents described by Mrs. Fay. Mr. Fay, he says, went up to tho man, examined tho letter and made a copy of It which was transmitted to a person below the stage and telephoned to Mrs. Fay. Lambourne Includes a copy of the letter In his affidavit to show that It did really reach tho Fays. The Insurgents in Plnnr del Itlo province are moving eastward. The main )Dody of the Insurgents In Havana province are known to have moved neurer to Havana city. Handcar Goes Through Draw. In concluding, Judge Heydt says Toledo, O., Sept. 15.—At least seven and probably twelve men, supposed to be Italian railroad laborers, rode off the open draw of the Wheeling bridge on a handcar, and all are believed to have been drowned. The river hos been dragged, and the banks on both sides have been scoured. Two bodies have lDeen recovered. Their identity Is not known. Novelty stoves and ranges. Ash's. "If the jury finds that the defendants were in tho lawful performance of their duties as State policemen, and while conveying prisoners to the Ijehigh county prison the defendants were pursued by a large crowd of people at the time, that they were In danger of losing their lives or suffering great bodily harm and were unable to make their escape, then they were justified in defending themselves to the extent of using firearms; and if, while so defending themselves, a bullet accidentally struck a boy in the crowd they are excused", and the jury must find. tfte defendants not guilty."

PUBLIC BURIAL CAUSES ARREST Maiiy rurnQrs are in circulation oi the disaffection of the police, and fears of attacks and uprisings have not wholly disappeared, though they have been lessened* by the presence here of the cruiser Denver and the knowledge that the United States is sending other warships to Cuban waters. "The affidavit further says that several persons, who bought Mrs. Fay's dream book, wrote letters to her asking questions of a personal and private nature. These questions were turned over to Lambourne-and other assistants, and they were required to make answer? ,0f a hature, all of the correspondence being subject to the ridicule of Mr. and Mrs. Fay. At the Instance of the board"' of health, two arrests, the first, that have over been made in Scranton for conducting a public funerat for a person dying of contagious disease, were made this morning. The warrants were served on Jonas Stepanaftckas, who claims that ho Is an undertaker and Anthony Tamancos, father of a :year old child which was burled from the family home on Sunday last, with public burial service. Stcpanauckas Is not a registered undertaker and his permits were secured through the firm of D. D. Jones and Son. The health officers claim that they had previously notified the man not to hold public services over the remains of this child. The fathor of the child lays all blame upou the undertaker and says he was ignorant that any wrong was being done. The hearing takes place this afCeruoon in police court. Much importance Is attached to the case, from the fact that whatever disposition is made of it it will establish a precedent for any that may follow. Personal registration in all cities of the third class is an imperative necescity. Those who do not register will be disfranchised in November. Everybody must register; there Is no exception to the rule, Next Tuesday is the last day but one for registering. Do not forget It If you wish to vote. Ethel Roosevelt Thrown From Buggy.
