SO TESTIFY THE DOCTORS Econonvc and Sociological Fea'ures of the An thracite Coal Industry Unfolded Before the Commissioners, They Confer Behind Closed Doo r s. (By the Associated Tress.) Scranton, Pa., Nov. 20. —The economic and sociological features of the anthra cite coal industry and the effect employ ment in and about the mines has upon the health of the mine workers, were the principal subjects brought before the arbitration commission today, by the at torneys of each side to the controversy. While there was an entire absence of oratory or brilliant cross-examination which marked the proceedings during the last few days, the cross-examination, nevertheless, closely held the attention of the commissioners and they gained much inormation n the eathres touched upon by witnesses. The aternoon session was particularly interesting because it brought out much expert testimony on the question of the health of the mine workers. Three phy icians who have practiced in Scranton and Wilkesbarre, took the stand for the miners and in substance testified that the occupation of a mine worker was “very unhealthful, ’’ and shortened' his life. One physician, Dr. Frank P. Lena han, of Wilkesbarre, who says he has had a long experience among mine workers, testified that fully 99 per cent of the men who work in the mines are anaemic. Their health is impoverished, and their general condition is below par, this de creasing their earning powers. The prin cipal ills suffered by the miners, the physicians said, were the miners’ astharn, rheumatism, lumbago and sciatica. The miners’ asthma comes from coal dust, powder smoke and vitiated air. Dr. John O'Malley, of Scranton, said that at post mortems he had sben miners’ lungs as black a3 anthracite itself, and Dr. Lena han testified he had personal knowledge of a man coughing up cAil dust nine years .after he left the mines. He said he had information that a man had coughed up coal dust fifteen years after he had left the mines. It also was stated that ninety per cent of miners who reach the age of fifty years are afflicted w'ith some form of rheumatism. The cross-examination of Rev. Dr. Pe ter Roberts, D. D., of Mahanoy City, Pa., who has studied the anthracite coal in dustry and written it book on the sub ject, ended today, and he left the wit ness stand shortly after the noon re cess. He began his testimony yesterday. Copious extracts from his book were read and placed on record. Ex-Congressman Simon P. Wolverton, counsel for the Reading Company, read much of the mat ter pertaining to violence in the 1900 strike, and also read articles written by Dr. Roberts during the progress of the late contest in which he described in strong language the acts of violence, intimidation and boycotting committed during that suspension. His articles spoke of some of these acts as “brutal outrages,” and he also branded the union’s action in calling out the steam men in June as “foolhardy.” In explain ing his articles, Dr. Roberts said that he did not wish to infer that the organi zation was responsible for all the law lessness committed. The Doctor said yesterday that newspaper accounts ex aggerate the amount of lawlessness in the coal regions, but Mr. Wolverton’s reading of Dr. Roberts’ description of serious acts of violence and boycotting afforded much amusement for the attorneys for the coal companies. * Dr. Roberts gave it as his opinion that attempts to have non-union men form a separate organization were instigated by parties opposed to organized labor. In attempting to show that carelessness of the miners contributes materially to the danger of his occupation, Chairman Gray interposed with the remrak that a mar gin of carelessness incident to human na ture must be taken into account when estimating the dangerousness of any hazardous occupation. The interest in the commissioners and their investigation has not decreased. Each day, hundreds of men line the streets and watch the arbitrators walk from the hotel to the court room. Most of them are idle mine workers, and they give the commissioners a somewhat crit ical look as they pass by. Each session of the commission finds the hearing room jammed with interested persons. The commissioners continue to hold daily conferences, but what is discussed is, as a rule, strictly withheld from the pub lic. Answering a question propounded by Judge Gray yesterday afternoon, Dr. Roberts said today, that a comparison of fatalities on all railroads in the United States with those in the anthracite fields show that 2.5 per 1,000 railroad employes are killed annually, while 3.5 per 1,000 employes were killed in the anthracite industry. The fatalities. switchmen, flagmen and watchmen, in IPOO, he stated to be 5.3 per 1,000 as against 5.5 per 1,000 among miners and their laborers work ing inside the mines. The fact was brought out in the course of the cross-examination that the Penn sylvania Legislature in 1891 passed a compulsory education law applying to every child under 16 years, and that under its provisions parents of delin quents can be punished. Answering a question by Commission er Parker, Dr. Roberts said that of sixty four children employed in the Olyphant breaker, near this city, 50 per cent were under 14 years of age, and had others dependent on them. At this juncture, Dr. Roberts was temporarily with drawn as a witness and Dr. John O'Malley, of Scranton, was questioned by James L. Lenahan, counsel for the Mine Workers. His experience had been that catarrh, asthma, rheumatism, stomach troubles, pneumonia, sciatica, lumbago, anaemia, etc., were the diseases from which miners usually suffered. Asked to minutely describe miners’ asthma, he said that it was a condition due to inhalation of great quantities of coal dust, powder, smoke and vitiated air. Questioned as to whether or not the disease was curable, the Doctor stated that the fatalities resulting from it were slight, but that the likelihood of its producing some fatal disease was com mon. The effect of asthma, he said, was very debilitating, it disturbs nutrition and the person suffering from it had a gaunt, emaciated appearance, rendering it impossible for the miner to do good work. There were but few, he said, who could escape even moderate attacks. On cross examination by Mr. Torrey, of the Delaware and Hudson Company, Dr. O’Malley admitted that whooping cough patients were frequently taken into the mines for relief, and that asth matic patients are usually long-lived. Dr. F. P. Lenahan, of Wilkesbarre, was then called, his examination being con ducted by John Shea, of counsel for the Mine Workers. After stating his eon (Confinued on Page Five.) A TRAGFDYJN PARIS American Girl Shot. Scion of Russian Nobility Under Surveillance, (By the Associated Press.) Paris. Nov. 20.—Helen Gore, said to be an American, was killed by a revolver shot yesterday in an apartment occupied by Jean de Rydzenski, a singer of the Imperial Theatre of St. Petersburg. De Rydzenski at first said Miss Gore com mitted suicide, but subsequently he de clared the revolver went off accidentally. Consul General Gowdy is personally in vestigating the death of Miss Gore, who was completing her musical education here and resided in the fashionable quart er of Passy. When found yesterday evening, the victim was unconscious and had a bullet wound over her right eye. Two doctors were summoned to attend her, but she died without regaining con sciousness. The police have accepted the theory of the young Russian singer who was in the room at the time, that the shooting was the result of an accident during a scuffle for possession of the weapon. De Rydzenski comes of a rich and noble Russian family. He is the son of a Russian general and he has uncles who hold high positions in the government service. Miss Gore lived in the Avenue de la Grande Arme, not far from the apart ment of the Russian, where the tragedy occurred. The affair has caused much excitement in that locality. The police are continuing their investigation and De 'Rydzenski is kept under surveillance. PROF. PEARSON A MEMBER Committee on Bird Protection—Slaughter of Sandpipers for Millinery Purposes.

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1902. PACIFIC COAST FIRE Depot and Ferry Slip Swept by Flames. One Man Burned Another Missipg , "33 Coaches Destroyed —Loss Estimated at Between $450,000 and $500,000. (By the Associated Press.) San Francisco, Nov. 20.—The Southern Pacific boat and ferry slips at the end of the Alameda Mole, which extends far into the bay from the eastern shore, were totally destroyed by fire early to day. The fire broke out from some un known cause soon after the ferry boat Oakland had reached the slip on her last trip from this city. It was about 1 o’clock and the kitchen crew of the steamer had retired to their lodging in a small structure near the end of the pier. Suddenly the flames burst out quickly spreading through the depot, a big building of wood and glass. The upper works of the Oakland caught fire and her captain was forced to cut loose and leave her men behind. The burning slips were inaccessible for fire engines from the Alameda county shore, but two fire boats were dispatched to the scene from this city and succeeded in confining the flames to the end of the mole. Train Dispatcher Walker estimates the loss at from $450,000 to $500,000. The sides of the slips and building, eight broad-gauge passenger coaches and twenty-five narrow gauge coaches were burned. Nine men, who were asleep in a bunkhouse narrowly escaped with their lives. Victor Dellasanta, of Alameda, who was the chief employed on a pile driver, is missing and the pile-driver was burned. It is feared that he was asleep and perished either in the flames or by drowning. BIG RAID ON ILLICIT STILLS. Revenue Officers’ Capture Six Stills in South Carolina. (By the Associated Press.)

Savannah, Ga., Nov. 20.—Joe Nelson, of Newark, N. J., rode ten miles at the Fair Grounds’ track today on a bicycle against ten horses running in relay. Nelson was motor-paced. The horses relieved each other in laps of one mile. Owing to a misunderstanding, the horses were started to pick up Nelson instead of each other.

(Special to the News and Observer.) Rutherfordton, N- C., Nov. 20.—The case of John McMahan, son, of Rev. Alfred McMahan, charged with the se duction of Daisy McArthur, aged 15, which has consumed three days in the criminal court, went to the jury at 10 o’clock this morning, and at 3 o’clock this afternoon the jury returned a ver dict of guilty. Sentence will not be pronounced until tomorrow morning. The limit for this crime is five years in the penitentiary, but it is believed that the full sentence will not be imposed. One of the jury said that on the first ballot, five were in favor of acquittal, but finally yielded after five hours’ argu ment. Immediately after the jury took the case of John McMahan, his brother, Lester McMahan, was arraigned for the seduction ot Miss Florence McArthur, 26 years old, a sister of Daisy, Florence, who was close to her father's side, was the first witness called. She said McMahan first paid her attention about three years ago. “Pie made love to me and I trusted him,” she said. “I loved him learly. and believed him when he so often told toe the same story.” “Did he promise to carry you before or after you committed the wrong?” asked the defence. “Belore and after, too ” “Did you tell your sister Daisy you were engaged and were to be married Christmas to McMahan?” “Yes, sir; that was the date set for our marriage.” ‘ is he the father of your child?” “Yes, sir.” “Did you offer to compromise with McMahan if he would pay you a large sum of money?” “No, I did not, nothing of that kind was mentioned. McMahan told me he knew I was a vir tuous woman and as good as any wo man that ever lived. He said he loved he more and more each day and would marry me till the last.” The witness was cool and self-con trolled and was not confused by the at torneys at any time. About a dozen of the best citizens in the countv swore "to the girl’s excellent character. Bynum Hameriek, who had been em ployed by Miss Florence's father, was put on the stand. His testimony waa very harmful to the prosecution. He tes tified he had on several occasions per suaded Miss McArthur to commit wrong. “Why did you refuse to come here as a witness and why did you .have to be arrested and brought here?” he was asked by the defense. “Because did not not want to testify against the lady.” . “Why do you hesitate to answer my questions?” asked the prosecuting attor ney. It was necessary that Judge Hoke and the defense demand that he an swer this question. “I told no one about the matter, n<?t even my closest friends, said Hameriek. “How came you here then?” asked the attorney.” After some hesitation he admitted he had, within the last few clays told one or two people and the attorneys for the defense. John Cole swore he had seen Miss Mc- Arthur out driving with young men sit ting in their laps, and had heard of her playing cards and drinking. Lindsay Hodge testified in a similar strain. Mrs. Godford, who was a close friend to the McArthur girls, said on the stand that Florence had come to her for ad vice, saying, “Do you think Lester Would marry me if 1 were to do wrong? He told me he had to know I was a virtuous woman before he would marry me. I told her no. he would not marry her, and for her not to listen or to consent to any thing of the kind. She then sat down and cried like a baby. The belief in the truth of the testimony of Hameriek is divided. Some think it is a put up job, while others believe his story. The case will go to the jury to morrow about noon. Five speeches were concluded tonight. THE BREEBE TRIAL BEGINS. Preliminaries Consume the Day---Examinatii n of Witnesses Will Commence To-day.
