That is the explanation offered today by Alphonse Bianco for the financial difficulties of his brother, Vito Bianco, missing merchant and private banker, whose establishment on South Main street was closed yesterday by a receiver appointed on petition of his creditors.

Alphonse Bianco was until three years ago manager of the grocery department of his brother's business, but since then he has been established on his own account and has a flourishing business. Although it was reported that the brothers were unfriendly, Alphonse declared this was untrue and that since last December he had done everything he could to assist his brother, without avail. "He was not a good collector," said Alphonse Bianco today. "He was too liberal in giving credit and the accounts on his books kept piling up until he was no longer able to pay 1 is debts. Too much trust, that was it." The brothsr added that he thought Vito had toov many irons in the fire and that it was impossible for him' to satisfactorily look after the details of the banking business, the grocery the ticket agency and the bakery, the last of which Bianco let go to his brother, Vincenzzo, a short time ago.

No word has been received from the missing merchant, either by his brother or his wife and four small children, who reside over the business place. Alphonse Bianco stated his belief that his brother's affairs will be adjusted without loss to creditors and that Vito will return to Pittston. "He has everything here," he added. He thought the humiliation of dropping from prosperity into difficulties caused his brother to leave Fittston. Asked about the credits on his trother's books, Alphonse said that he did not know what these amounted to, but he understood that some time ago these ran over $6,000.

IS A IN SANITY TRIAL Ne York. July 8. Harry K. Thaw took the witness stand today for the hecond time in his present sanity trial this time as a state's witness. Slightly nervous at start he soon regained his composure ana answered all ques tions smilingly and at ease.

One of the first questions fired at him by Deputy Attorney General Cook was whether be believed William Travers Jerome, his "nemesis" was in a conspiracy with several rich men to keep him in Matteawan. Thaw declared his counsel had told him as much. Then he added: "But I don't believe mere any such conspiracy now and I don't think you nre in league with any millionaires to pot me buck in Matteawan." Thaw admitted his relations with Jerome were not cordial. The court room was jammed to the doors with spectators today, attracted by the fact that Thaw was testifying. Thaw said he doubted Jerome's motives, because Jerome followed him to Canada after his escape from Mattea wan.

He said he understood there was a law In New York state, forbidding state officials from pursuing escaped lunatics beyond the state's borders and for that reason Jerome's activities angered Thaw was visibly nervous as Cook continued this line of questioning. He shifted his position and his answers grew vague and inaudible. His counsel advised him "just to answer Mr. Cook's questions." Mr. Cook read into the record a letter written by Thaw to a friend named Hughes urging him to use his influence with friends in Congress to defeat Jerome's attempts to get him I uck to the t'nited States.

"Oh, that would take me two hours," he replied when Cook usked him to explain tho letter. 'Two hours to explain that letter?" nsked Cook. "No, I meant that I could not explain it for two hours?" replied Thaw, while the jurors watched him intently. Fvclyii Xot To Flee. Malone, N.

Mr. O' Boyle's Chun ffeu'r was driving ahmg the mountain read, a ccuple of tulles from Creek, at a lively clip. when suddenly the members of the party pu black object at the side of the road, ntimtt 25 feet ahead of them. At Prst they supposed that It was a big Newfoundland dog, but a closer view showed that the animal w. iy a black bear, weighing probably lii) pounds.

As soon as the bear saw the auto party it hurried along the road for a short distance and then pliinged Into the thicket nt the side ot the highway and disappeared.

July 8. A Slock WW THAW AGffl wn BARREPA. great movement that has done so much to lighten their burden and blaze the way to the realization oi' their worthy aims. Therefore, agreeing that it is through organization that we hope to accomplish our reforms, it follows that good business judgment dictates that wo should endeavor to make that organization as strong numerically as it is possible for us to do, in order that we may accomplish the things essential to our success and happiness. Hence, I appeal to the miners of the anthracite it Id to become intensely interested in the affairs of your organization.

But a few more months will elapse, when jour representatives must meet the coal operators in joint conference for the purpose of agreeing upon a wage scale, and it is highly desirable that ve go into that conference representing a hundred per cent organization, and not do as was done in the past, remain indifferent and suffer keen c'isappointment and impoverished conditions of employment. Be up and doing! Great opportunities await you! Lay aside your jealousies and work loyally for the good of your grand' and the men, women and children whose happiness depends upon it. The anthracite miners have demonstrated on more than one occasion, that they can make sacrifices lor the principles of the organixntion. Their struggles in Hie past for thb preservation of the union have proved them to be men of great intelligence, power nnd determination. It is no lime to indulge in internal dissension, for the operators are ready and willing to avail themselves of any weakness in our ranks.

March 3 1st, 1916, ccntracts in all the principal bituminous States, as well as the anthracite, will expire and grave duties devolve l.pnn all of us, because much depends tipon tho strength of the union and tl policies we will I firmly believe that the stronger our union becomes, the larger the respect the operators will have for us. A strong financial and well managed rrgiinization Is the best asset the miners can have In the coming negoti ations nnd I hope that in this respect I will not 'f disappointed. "The responsibility for fulfilling our obligations to the operators under our present contract rests entirely with the United Mine Workers, nnd the time is at hand when full and coni ulete recognition of the United Mine AVorkers should nnd must be conceded l.y the anthracite operators. The officers nnd members of the United Mine Workers must assume the duty of enforcing contracts, promoting discipline. It is they to whom the operator looks in the event any dispute arises, to have tho same adjusted.

We shall, in accordance with demands ft our union, insist that full and complete recognition be conceded In the next agreement. Once this Is accomplished, better discipline will prevail nnd it will end the career of the eironc, who enjoys the benefits of nr ganized effort refuses to pay hi dues or affiliate with the union. Our campaign now must reduce this element to a negligible quantity. They who persist In this policy only serve the operator nnd help force evil con it Ions upon their fellow workers and themselves. We have successfully met eve ry argument of your employ es In the past on this question, nnd a one hundred per cent oitii nlz.it ion when we enter negotiations will settle the controversy in our favor.

I.iet us lie consistent; when we demand the operators to recognize our union, let US recognize It otil selves nnd Join It." $70,000 ItLAZF PIIIIM.

AMBLES LINEN SPORT HATS In white and natural Panama Hats In a Great Variety of Large and Small Collars 89c LARGE PINK ROSES 50c Sugar Notch's famous election contest case, started in December, 1913, over tht election of oillcer.s held in November, 1913, was settled for the time being by a decision handed down by Judge Fuller this morning, but the way ia left open for further proceedings. There two distinct contests, in which, John S. Caffrey seeks to oust John'H. Tinner from the office of school director, and one ia which Andrew Lenahan seeks to oust John A.

Riley from the ollice of burgess. The office of school director in dispute is for two years only, and the term has nearly expired beforo tho case was decided. The term of burgess is four years. The contests grew out of a bitter contest between the "New Broom'' crowd and "Old Broom" men, and the hearings revealed that 27 ilr legal votes had been cast on either dde in the school director election. Tbi? left the net result the In the election for burgess, the result ot the court investigation left Riley, the incumbent, seven votes aheaJ.

Judge Fuller's decision in the case is as ''On application of either party an order will be made and process granted compelling the several persons whose vole? have been adjudged illegal to disclose for whom they voted, 'but if such application shall not lie made within ten days after the notice of this decision, it is adjudged and decreed that the contestant has failed to establish bis right to ollice to which he claimed to have been elected." As the case now stands Tinner and P.iley continue to hold the o'llees to which they were declared elected, but the way is open for the contest ants to continue tho contest through the process outlined by Judge uller Will BE KEPT DURING THIS MONTH (Conl Trade Journal.) As to anthracite, the same serenity which was notable during June will carry over into July, for this is a domestic fuel in a large degree and at present there does not seem to be the inclination on the part of either con sumers or dealers to load up. The tonnage reports for June will probably show a reduction from those of the same month last year and the esti mate Is that for the lirst six months the loss of tonnage mined am; shipped will be something about 1, 000.000 tons. This loss, it is expected. will be made up during the last half of the calendar year for there will lie decidedly different position In the matter of linaiicinl resources of the people, which will give courage to lay in stocks more liberally for next season. Having had rather mild winter for I HI 4 ID it is not unlikely that there will be quite the opposite for 1916 lfi and a supply of coal will be very desirable factor in the situation for both retailers nnd consumers.

The one prevailing feature of the anthracite trade nt the present Unit, is what might be termed the Inequality of demand for the different sizes, that is to say, certain of the sizes are In such particular request that they move along without causing any trou. ble to the producers and shipper thereof, while others, the Junior sizes, nre In over supply for the lime being. It is very evident that production will have to be kept well within bonnds during the month of July in order not to crowd the market, for there is no ndvantage In such a condition of affairs either for the retailers or the producers.

I III VVUIIII IIWIVII Ml OSTRICH POM PONS 50c LUCCINO FLEES FROM VENGEANCE OF MM Continued from page one head of Luccino reads like a page of fiction, but, then, so do other proven tales of the camoira in Pittston.

Sam Luccino first sprang into the public gaze as a detective when he figured in the Lupo counterfeiting cases in 1910. In the employ of the Federal government, he gathered evidence locally in the investigation which resulted in the secret service men swooping down upon the famous gang of coiners in a house along the Hudson, near Highgate, New "York, in January, 1910, and catching the chief and his alleged accomplices. With Attorney Gillespie, then mayor, County Detective Price, then chief of police, Luccino went to New York In December, 1910, and testified against the counterfeiters. Ten of them were convicted. "Lupo," whose right name is said to have been Motillo, was given a 30 years sentence in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Uuiseppe Morilla, his right hand man, received 25 years and eight others drew lesser sentences.

The detectives traced Motillo's career back to Sicily, where he is said to l.avc pursued the slayer of his brother in a vendetta to this country. Sometime later, a huge Italian known as 'the "Bull" and the "Ox," was called to the door of his home in Brown town and shot to death, supposedly by an agent of the Lupo gang in connection with the vendetta. The New York police are inclined to believe that later the slayer of the "Bull" was the victim of New York's notorious "barrel" murder of a Uecade ago. Luccino returned to liltston after the Lupo cases, and the reports that the Black Hand had determined on his death were confirmed when he was Miot twice through the neck while re turning to his home on Railroad meet on the night of Tuesday, Feb. 7, 1911.

The flashing of the red flag of contempt for the law in the face of the authorities led to a vigorous crusade against the criminal organisation and Angelo and Ferdinand Merino were arrested on the charge of doing the shooting, and six others were charged with conspiracy to kill Luccino. Among the six arrested for the conspiracy was Joe Shandro, who was run down by the police after a pistol duel following the attempt upon Luccino's life on. Wednesday morning. The cases fell flat when witnesses for the police failed to make good on the Hand. Luccino's escape frbm death was extremely narrow, one of the bullets that entered his neck passing within a sixteenth of an inch of the carotal vein.

The prosecutions In the Luccino and other cases that followed, in which some convictions were secured, served for a time to quiet the outbreaks ot tl.e criminal society. In the years that have passed around, Luccino has been active In most of the important criminal cases from this end of Luzerne county, lie lias been threatened repeatedly, but has manifested no signs of fear. Money Offered In Meeting. According to the police, the Lupo gang, shattered by the counterfeiting prosecutions, is again existent. Tho police are said to have information that an agent of the wicked organization, with headquarters in New Tiork, came to this city two weeks ago and called a meeting of the Pitts ton branch of the mafia.

The meeting in said to have been held in the back room of a building In the lower end of the city. According to the report, the mysterious stranger threw upon the table a bag containing $800 which he offered to anyone who would murder Luccino. The stanger left town the same day. The story of the reward for his death came to Luccino and it is said that his wife, with the thoughts of their three children In her mind, prevailed upon him to flee tho city in which he had been so valuable an iigent of the police. It was not known that the news that Luccino was to leave had leaked out, but when the sleuth slipped from bed to dress to catch an curly morning truln out of the city yesterday, a gunman, evidently possiw.l of the knowledge that the man with a price upon his head was about to slip from his clutches, shot nt Luccino as he stood outlined between a lamp and the window.

The bullets Mruck the bricks outside the window. The police arrested Joe Shnndro after an exciting chnse, Sh.tndrn will get a hearing to right. He will not talk. SUITS FOR $75,000 AGAINST TRACTION CO. Two suits for dnmnire were tnrtel today against the Wilkcsburre Knll wnv Co.
