He had lssued a call last night for a meeting today in continution of the turbulent session which he adjourned without hour yester- day noon. Befors entering the conventlon, which s still belng held behind closed doors, Mr. Buchanan refused to discuss any phase of the situatibn. Yesterday at his hotel he had declared that tho session presided over by the Parks crowd, which had un- seated Delegate Brophy, holding a proxy from Scranton, was unconstitutional, and it naturally was assumed that he would so hold when he called the convention to order in regular session today. There were early indications that any such course would be stubbornly fought by the Parks element, and Symuel Parks sald, before he led his defegation into the convention this morning, “Our acts were proper and they wiil stand. It President Buchanan refuses to ablde by tham the sonvention will go on without Mt B May Be Expelled. It has been stated that J. W. Keller, a member of local unfon No. 2 of New York City, would be expelled from the union for refusing to Yesterday to unseat Brophy, and wh ls action was taken he would no longer be entitled to sit in the convention. Mr. Parks {s credited with having sent the New York local offi- clals a telesram to this effect, requesting that Keller be expelled at tonight's meeting ©of the unfon in New York. Today, however, he denled that he had sent such & telegram and sald: M Keller will continue to sit in the conven- tion. If he is ousted from the union it will be in the regular way, after we return to New York." The regular order of business this morn- ing from the standpoint of the Buchanan element was the consideration of the writ- assoclation upon the peaceable settiement. at the Buffalo conference last March, of the difficulty with the American Dridge com- pany. The sgreement then made with the Structural from Mamutecturers and Erec- ore’ assoctation, one of the most powerful Sdoahtions of employers in the country, was most fmportant, he said, “for the fight threatened the very existence of our or- sanization.” 0ld Centracts.

President Buchanan asserted that within the last year government by injunction had assumed wider and more alarming propor- tions, and recommended that the conven- tion appoint a committee to advise with all the other organizations of the country for the purpose of effecting a conference, to be held In the near future, to consider defi- nite action to be taken with respect to “this great and growing evil."

Peace is Patched Up. Peace was patched up between the Buchanan and Parks factions in the In- ternational Assoclation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers at their annual convention here this afternoon. President Buchanan had scarcely called the convention to order in regular session when the Parks crowd expressed a desire to ignore the proceedings of their own rump meeting yesterday and proceed in & regular way. Then the convention took a formal vote to reconsider the vote by which Danlel Brophy, a member of local No. 2 and who held a proxy from Scranton, P had been seated.

The injured woman was: re. moved to the Clarkson hospital ‘and at- tended by Police Surgeon MacDiarmid. Dr. Bummers, who was called later, sald she was too weak to undergo an éperation last night. It is the opinion of the attending physicians that the woman cannot recover. Reed has been calllng upon the Hynes woman since last January. On two or three different occasions he has threatened to take her life if she did not marry him. According to his own statement Reed first met the woman during January at her home, 1408 Wobster street. He was in- fatuated with her from the first and asserts that she had made promises to marry him which were never fulfilled.

He then went to a place on Sixteenth street and purchased a revolver with the intention of killing her and himeelf, He put the revolver in his trunk and left it there untll yesterday | morning, when he decided he would commit the deed. He called at the Hynes woman's room about 8 o'clock in the forenoon and found her in a very pleasant frame of mind and could not make up his mind to take her Iife.

She met him at the door and requested him to retire to another apartment and walt for her as she woilld be ready to see him in & few minutes, During the time he was waiting he grew very angry to think that she would entertain other men In preference to himself. After the men had left the woman entered the room where Reed Was sitting. She came over to him and asked for money, at the same time feeling in his pockets to see 1f he had ai She found no money, and sat down In a chair near him. He belleved the proper time had arrived to kill Her and pulled, the revolyer from his pocket and fired three shots. As the last shot 3 out the woman jumped to her feet and grappled with him. He placed the mus- 2le ‘of the gun against her breast and fired twice. There wert no more cartridges in the gun, 80 he was forced to quit shoot- He then turned and ran out of the room and entered another room on the other side of the parlor with the intention of reloading the weapon and killing him- self.

He had | placed one shell In the cylinder and had another in his hand when the officer selzed him. Two shells also lay on the dresser by his side.

Friday evening the daughter of Mr. Goos, who is a sufferer from consumption, was brought home from the west. She was very 1l and Reed was invited Into her room to see her.

SHOPMEN EXPECT TROUBLE Belleve Unfon Pacific Will Break Faith on Flece Work Agreement. CHEYENNB, Wyo., BSept. 26.—(Speclal Telegram.)—One of the local strike leaders and an officer of the machinists’ union, states tonight that thé conference of Pres- 1dent Burt with Mr. Harriman in New York Is for the purpose of framing a proposiifon for submission to the machinfsts, black- smiths and bollermakers, having for its object a continuance of the plecework sy: tem on the Union Pacific. The machinists say they have an agreement signed by Judge Cornish and Mr. Hafriman to dis- continue plecework on October 8, but they have been led to belleve that the Union Pacific will ask that the date of this agree- ment be set forward to April § of next ; ear. It such & request is made, says the local unfon leader, the men will walk out over the entire Harriman lines. The strikers also charge that the forming of a citizens' alllance in shop towns along the Union Pacific is a scheme of the rafl- road company to strengthen their position and get ready for the impending strike. Rallroad officials deny this allegation. A number of the old strikers who have familles are gétting ready to enter other lines of bushedss, Thep say they are weary of the struggle and will leave the shops permanently.

CHANGE PRUSSIAN UNIFORM 1 MATTHEWSON NOW KESICNS Superintondent of Omaha and Winnebago Agencies Finally Steps Down. ILL HEALTH AS THE CAUSE GIVES Regrets pointment Elsewhere—~Other Washington News. (From a Staft Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Superintendent C. P. Matthewson of the Omaha and Winnebago agency has resigned. In his letter of resignation to Commissioner Jones, Mr. Matthewson states that his separation from the Indian service was due solely to fll-health. For some time past Mr. Matthewson Has been very anxious to secure an appointment elther in Arisona or New Mexjco, but by reason of places being filled the commis- sloner has been unable to secure the transfer for Mr. Matthewson. Speaking of the resignation, Commis- sioner Jones sald: “I regret that Mr. Matthewson has decided to resign. Per- soially 1 think a great deal of the super- intendent of the Omaha and Winnebago agency. His health, however, has 'been precarious for some time past, and, while 1 recognize that Mr. Matthewson has been desirous of quitting the service, I shall certainly do all I possibly can to secure his transfer to a more congenial climate.” By reason of the resignation of Superin- tendent Matthewson the Indian office will now carry out a plan which it has had in contemplation for some time, looking to the division of the Omaha and Winnebago reservations into two bonded school su- perintendencies instead of the present ar- rangement. Commissioner Jones sald to- day that H. G. Wilson, superintendent of schools at the Bisseton (8. D.) agency, would be appointed to succeed Mr. Mat- thewson at the Winnebago agency. As to the Omaha agency, the commissioner would not state who would be appointed, several well-known men being under con- sideration. Mr, Wilson, who will assume charge at the Winnebago agency shortly after the first of next month, is regarded by the Indfan office as a very careful and bate man. He goes to Nebraska with splendid recommendations and it is ex- pected that he will bring the agency to a high standard. Rural Carriers Appointed.
