Funeral of Several of the Victims of.
_ Lattimer’s Tragedy.
EVEEYTHING WAS ORDBRLY
Enormous Crowd Present to Pay the Last
Mark of Respect to Miners Who
‘ Were Killed by the Sheriffs
Posse—Martin’s Position.
Haz‘leton, Pa, Sept. 14.—-It was feared
that there might be a renewal of trou-
ble With the striking miners in this vi-
cinity, so today the troops were as-
signed so as to cover every place where
’ there was even a remote prospect of an
outbreak. During the night the street
in the front and rear of the brigade
headquarters at the Valley hotel was
guarded by sentries, and no person was
permitted to pass the lines under any
pretext. .
The first official action of the day was
the closing of all the liquor saloons un-
til 4 o’clock this afternoon. This was
done after a conference between Mayor
Altmiller and General Gobin. The may
or has been ill with rheumatism, but
the developments of the last 24 houfs
induced him to hobble to his office to-
day for the first time since the riOting
began. Brigade Commander Gobin
consulted him by messenger, and the
liquor embargo was soon afterward
declared. This was done because of the
funerals of the ten victims and the
fear of what might follow if the strik-
ers had access to liquor -at that time.
‘The strictest discipline prevailed at
the camps of all the regiments. As
soon as morning broke many of the
militiamen began to make preparations
to leave their commands for the usual
promenade through the city. General
Gobin, however,» had in the meantime
issued orders that all passes were dis--
continued for the present and that no
one could leave camp. The command-
ers of the regiments at all points in
andlabout the city were given orders
to hold their commands in readiness
for any call at Lattimer.
Priests Confer With Gobin.
A very ugly feeling prevails among
the miners, and rumors of disturb-
ances reached the city, but could not
be verified. As a result of General Go-
bin’s order to the Polish priests and
citizens “they met him at brigade head- ,
quarters. He told them he had no ob-
jection to the funeral procession, but
that under no. circumstances must
there be anything about it in the na-
ture of a military procession or a dem-
onstration to show large numbers. They
could bury their dead with all the show
of mourning natural, and no religious
services of any kind would be inter-
fered with, but they will not be permit-
ted to carry flags, banners, side, arms
or to have music in any form.
General Gobin. is very much dis-
pleased at the parade of uniformed men
during yesterday’s funeral, and espe—
cially because some of the men carried
heavy sabers.
All along the line of the funeral pro-
cession and in front Of the church where
the services were held and at the un-
dertaker’s establishment crowds of
miners and their wives began to gather
at an early hour. They came into town
from all the mining suburbs in the re—
gion and taxed the capacity of the
trolley cars, while inside the edifice
there was not an inch of space.
A persistent rumor was circulated
throughout the morning that a. deputy
sheriff had been hanged at Lattimer.
A telephone message to that place
brought the response that nothing of
the sort had occurred.
A Procession With a. Band.
Up to noon no trouble of any sort had
developed, but the big funeral proces-
sion had not then got under way. What
may be called two branches of the main
cortege had come in from Harwood.
Notwithstanding General Gobin’s or-
der, one of these was headed by'a brass
band, which was beating a mournful
accompaniment to the tramp of the
marching miners‘as the brigade head—
quarters was neared. A great crowd Of
onlookers filled the street so thickly
that only a narrow pat-h'was left in
- the center foi‘ the passage of the pro-
cession. A buzz of expectancy went
through the crowd, but before the head-
quarters was reached even the muffled
drum beat had been silenced, and the
line moved quietly on to Undertaker
Bonin’s shop, where lay the bodies of
the eight Poles- There were fully 2,000
men in this line. The second line car-
ried no band, and it moved to the un-
dertaker’s shop quietly. The narrow
lane upon which this shop fronts was
packed thickly from curb to curb by a
surging throng, but there was not the
slightest disorder, and not a trooper
wasniin sight. Within lay exposed to
View’ the cofpses of the Poles, and the
crowd was permitted to pass in single
file through the front door of the shop
and out at the rear. ,
A Grewaome Sight.
Decomposition had set in, and the
bony, waxen features presented a sight
that sent every beholder out of the
place with a shudder of horror. Out-
side preparations were meanwhile un-
der way for starting the big parade.
Three other band-s were also awaiting
here, with the members of the St. Jo-
seph’s and Italian Mutual Aid societies
wearing their regalian It 'was learned
that the order of General Gobin prohib-
iting strikers from having bands had
not reached these parties from the
priests to whom he gave it, but before
it became known by them the brigade
commander revoked it and gave per-
mission for~ the musical accompaniment.
I
,T’he injunction against. the proposed .
meeting, outside the church was clearly
understood, and no attempt was made
to dispute it- The miners seemed to be
perfectly docile."
Everything Was Orderly.
The funerals were conducted'in the
most orderly manner, and there was no
disturbance. Five thousand people at-
tended the services and said their last
farewell to their relatives and friends,
who are looked upon throughout the
length and breadth of the coal regions
as victims of murder. _,
These ten lived at Cranberry, Har-
wood and Lattimer, and by a special
arrangement all the funerals were
brought into this city at the same time.
The rendezvous of the cortege, the
Polish Catholic church, was crowded to
the doors,» and the streets for several
blocks in each direction were black with
- people. The friends and relatives of
‘ the dead were given the best places by
'om-mon consent, but so numerous were
they that hardly one-fourth were able
to enter the church. ' .
High mass was conducted by Father
Oust, and he was assisted by all the
Catholic and Lutheran priests and pas-
tors of this region. Eight of the dead
were Catholics, two were Lutherans,
but over all the same services were held,
irrespective of their different religions.
It was an impressive ceremony. Aged
Father Oust, with tears in his eyes,
conducted the mass and Father Drom-
briski of Glen Lyon preached the ser-
mon. He spoke particularly of the
“unwarranted shooting of the unarmed
and peaceable men,” and said that
while the act of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies was sufficient to arouse in the
relatives of the dead a desire for re—
venge, these relatives should hold
themselves in check from any act Of
violence. '
“The sympathy of eVerybody is with
the afflicted," he said, “and to retain
this sympathy you must act in an or-
derly and peaceable manner.”
After the ceremony the funeral cor-
tege proceeded to the Polish Catholic
cemetery and to the Lutheran cemetery
and there the remains of the victims
were lowered into the grave while thou-
sands looked on.
. Denounced by Priests.
Shenandoah, Pa., Sept. 14.—A,, mass
meeting of about 4,000 Lithuanians,
Poles, Hungarians and Slavonians was
held on the grounds of the Lithuanian
chuch here to take action on the Lat~
timer shooting. The Rev. Peter Abro-
mailis of the Lithuanian church pre-
sided, and M. M. Burke was present as
specially engaged counsel to'operate on
behalf of the local organizations in the
prosecution of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies. The Rev. J. Milukas, curate
of the Lithuanian church, and the Rev.
Cornelius Larrison of the Greek Cath-
olic church and others made addresses,
after which resolutions were adopted
condemning the course of Sheriff Mar-
tin and his deputies, sympathizing with
the families of the victims and also
pledging moral and financial support
in the prosecution of Sheriff Martin
and his deputies.
It was also decided that special high
mass of requiem should be celebrated
in the Polish, Lithuanian, Greek, Cath-
olic and Slavonic churches for the souls
of the. victims. One of the Lithuanian
strikers attempted during the meeting
to inject political sentiments aimed at
the Republican administration, but the
assemblage forced him to desist by its
protests.
General Gobin’s Report.
Harrisburg, Sept. 14.—General Gobin
notified the governor and military au-
thorities today that there is nothing
alarming in the strike situation in the
Hazleton region and that he has been
assured that his instructions regard-
ing marching uniformed bodies will be
obeyed. General Gobin reported that a
couple of sensational stories had come
to him, but investigation showed that
there was no cause for alarm. Full
power has been given General Gobin,
and he ‘has abundant authority under
the circumstances. '
The "Joan of Arc” Arrested.
Pittsburg, Sept. 14.——Emma Haas, the
miners’ Joan of Arc, and three other
women were arrested for marching at
Plum Creek by sheriff’s deputies. The
attempt to make the arrests precipi-
tated an incipient .riot, in which the
deputies fared badly. No one was seri-
ously hurt, but scarcely a deputy es-
caped a clubbing, and Superintendent
Sam De Armitt was cut on the hand.
Two of the women arrested carried ba-
bies.
The riot was the result of a carefully
planned attempt to prevent the men at
work at Plum Creek from entering the
mines. ,There were 25 women and about
50 strikers concerned in it.
The plan was to have the women
march in front with their babies, With
the design of working on the senti-
ments of the men Who would be going
to work and to act as a shield for the
rest of the party. The women were to
crowd round each man as he attempted
to go into the mine, take his dinner
bucket from him and then throw it in-
to the ditch. ‘
About daylight the party started out,
headed by Emma Haas. Those not hav-
ing a baby carried a pick handle -or a
club of some sort. On the Murrays-
ville read they encountered a posse of
deputies and Were ordered back to the
camp. '
The Order Disregarded.
No attention was paid to the or-
der. and the party tried to force their
way through the.lines of deputies. A
scuffle followed, and Emma Haas and
three other women who were in the
lead were arrested. A scene Of wild
excitement then ensued. The moment
a, depufy laid hands on a woman he
was surrounded by others waving clubs
in the air and using them on the head
of the deputy when the opportunity of-
fered. Deputy “Talker was severely
clubbed, and S. C. De Armitt says he
was attacked by a woman with a knife.
The deputies finally got' their prisoners
:nto the company’s stable and lat-31
lz-ro‘ught them to this city, where they
were lodged in the county jail. The
names of the women arrested are Em-
ma Haas. Mrs. J3hn Kosar, Mrs. Frank
Hans and Mrs. Eisner.
Mrs. Kc-s:r and Mrs.
their babies with them. , ,
After the removal of the‘prisoners
from Plum‘Creek the excitement sub-
sided and the women and strikers re-‘
turned to camp. ._
. The reason more of the women were
not arrested was that four. or five, dep-
uties were required to hold each 01
them, and the force was not! large
Lough to take charge of the crowd.
Eisner had
Martin May Submit If—
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 14,—Sherii‘i
Martin was seen at his home in Plains.
When asked if he had had a warrant
served upon him, he replied in the neg
ative. He said, that he would submit to
arrest after a fair investigation and ii
the proper official-appeared with the
warrant. He said his conscience Was
clear, ‘as he believed‘ he had only done
his duty as sheriff.
Cleo do Merode In New York.“
New York, Sept. 14.—Cleo de Merode,
the ballet dancer known to all Europe,

cently engaged at the Paris Opera
House. She is accompanied by her
mother. The dancer is to appear at

He is new Cured, and He Thanks God
and P. P. P., Lippman‘s Great Rem-
edy, For It;
Mr. George Briggs, of Moore. Okla,
suffered almost indescribable torment
."for three long years. Neuralgia held
him captive. The right. side of his face
was so badly affected that the slightest
touch would cause the unfortunate
man intense agony. For several weeks
he could open his mouth just wide
enough to be fed with liquid nourish-
ment, and in this manner life was sus-
tained. Read the following extract
from his letter: “Truth is stranger
- than Fiction.” '
NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA-
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.
George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma.
writes that P. P. P., Lippman’s Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple. down .
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit a teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put. him in torture. He
had-a consultation of the best physi-
cians in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. P. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or. how old the
cases are, hat. P. P. P. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying be thanks God and our med-
icine, P. P. P., Lippman’s Great. Rem-
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. P. P. P. removes
the irregularities, and cures the dis-
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy.
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples. blotches. freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.
