Evidence before the commiltee that the man- agement has heen cruel, negligent and heartless in some instances. Attend- ants and nurses have been drunk while on duty and have been brutally and inhumanly cruel to helpless in- mates. “In some instances the very atmos- phere of the institution has been scented with vice and immorality tc the extent that even inmates have begged and pleaded to be released on account of it and citizens living nearby have felt outraged by it.” INSANE.

Johnson” and claiming to he a companion of Henry Williams, who was recently executed in Roanoke, Va., has confessed to five murders and numerous robberies. His reasons for writing are that other men have suffered for his crimes and his conscience troubles him. He says he has been converted. The dates and manner in which the different -crimes were committed as furnished in Johnson’s letter are more complete than the police records and the au- thorities believe its authenticity. According to Johmson he killed a woman at Chester, W.. Va., two Ital- {ans at Uniontown, Pa.,a man at Hynd- man, and a woman at Martins v, O. He also claims to have ulted a woman at Staunton, Va., for which crime, he says, another man was lynched. n, who is a colored man, has ted at Newport, Kv. He de- clares every word in his written con- fession is true. Pa,, STOLE TO SAVE SDN'S LIFE. Pathetic Story of Downfall Moines Cashier. Des Moines, May 19.—Carl M.

There is a pathetic story in connec- tion with Spencer’s confession, which he made prior to the indictment. many years annually he had been tak- ing an invalid son East for medical treatment. He had been unable to , meet tlie expenses incurred by the . medical attention and to save the boy's life he took money from his employer.

OPPOSES GRAIN CORNERS. Duluth Chamber of Commerce Changes Contract Grade. Duluth, May 19.—With but two neg- ative votes”it was declared by the members of the Duluth board of trade during the afternoon that a rule mak- ing No. 2 Northern wheat a contract grade in this market on September and all later contracts should be sub- mitted for adoption by the board of directors. It is the belief of the members favor- ing the new rule that the business of the market will be greatly widened by the extension of the contract grade.

X TEAMSTERS REFUSE Ffl PARTICIPATE LEADERS DECLAR% ATTEMPT A SUBTERFUGE ON.PART OF TEAM OWNERS. Chicago, May 19.—The Team Own- ers' association met during the day to appoint an arbitrator to pass on the question of deliveries to the boycotted stores. It had been reported that the Teamsters’ union had made such-an appointment or would do so. It turned out, however, that the union had taken no action. When President Shen was informed of the purpose of the meeting of the team owners he said no agreement had been made to arbitrate deliveries —that he had not considered the ques- tion and that, in view of the injunction proceedings, he did not want to go to jail. He regarded the move of the team owners as a subterfuge to keep the Employers’ association “off the necks” of the team owpers. Shea also said there would be no settlement un- less the strikers were reinstated. President Gompers. of the American Federation of Labor denied that he had had anything to do with the delivery arbitration movement. He had noth- ing to do with arbitration, he said. His ‘mission here is to try to hit upon a plan of settlement and bring the two opposing parties together to con- sider it. SHEA SPRINGS A SURPRISE. Declares Teamsters Never Agreed to Arbitration. Chicago, May 19.—President Cor- nelius P. Shea of the Teamsters’ Inter- national union has thrown cold water on all peace.moves. He declared that he had not considered arbitration in any form between'the Team Owners’ associdtion and the Teamsters’ union and (hat he had never agreed to arbi- trate the question of whether the teamsters should deliver to boycotted houses. The declaration of Shea came as a surprise to all concerned, as it was| - explicitly stated that Shea had made such an agreement. At the time of Shea’s statement the team owners were in conference selecting their memher of the arbitration board, which they declared both they and Shea had agreed to. “I am not going to arbitrate the question of how they shall conduct their business,” said President Shea. “There will be no back door settle- ment. When I am beaten I shall come out and say so.” Gompers Corroborates Shea. Like Mr. Shea President Samuel F. Gompers of the American Federaticn of Labor professed to be surprised to read in the papers that the teamsters had agreed to arbitrate the team own: ers' proposition. He said: “I have made no proposition to arbi- trate this strike. [ would not if 1 could and 1 could not if 1 would.. All I can do is to pave the way, if it is possible, for a peaceful settlement. But the matter of settlement must be taken up by the officers of the two re- spective organizations—the Employers’ association and the Teamsters. Any statement that has been published that 1 have proposed arbitration or at- tempted to effect a settlement is un- true. I have no authority to take such a course. The best I can do is to work for peace and try to bring the two opposing parties together. If I can find a plan by which they can meet then they must pass their own judg- ment upon whether that plan is right or not. That is the limit of my power here.” LITTLE RIOTING OCCURS. Police and Deputy Sheriffs Continue to Guard Wagons. Chicago, May 19.—No change was noticed during the day in the method of conducting street traffic by the houses affected by the strike. There was no abatement of police vigilance and deputy sheriffs continued to man wagons. Rioting, however, did -not mar the transaction of business to any extent. Alderman Dever, chairman of the city council “peace” committee, has not lost hope of being able to do some- thing. He says that there are so many in a receptive mood that he would not* be surprised if his committee, in its conference with President Shea dur- ing the afternoon, accomplished a step loward bringing the teamsters to a middle ground with the employers. President Shea of the teamsters was called before Master in Chancery °| Sherman as a witness in the federal injunction proceedings against the strikers. Practically no information was obtained from Mr. Shea, he either decliniug to answer on the ground that the replies might incriminate him or hecause of objections by attorneys as to the propriety of questions asked Oral Testimony Necessary. Washington, May 19.— Secretary Taft has decided that it will be neces- 'sary for him to hear some oral testi- mony “in the prosecution of his inquiry into the Bowen-Loomis affair and at least ane witness has been summoned B P Hanan Oxfords - $5.00 Drew Selby Oxfords From $2.00 to $3.50 Hamilton-Brown Oxfords From $1.25 to $3.00 £ p The Best Quality.
