He had not been living with his wife for a month. He recently received & pen- dlon check, and today, he went to his home and endeavored to make up. His wite locked the door and would not admit him, whereupon he seized an axe and smashed down the door. Atter a short parley, he pulled a revolver and shot his wife, the bullet taking effect in her arm. She ran away from the house to seek aid and he followed, shooting her in the back and killing her Instantly. Inks then searched for and found his 12-year-old boy, to whom he gave his pen- slon check. Then he placed the revolver to his temple and fired, also dying stantly.

Reporting on the work of the federation in the crusade mgainst tuberculosis, the council urgently recommends the adoption of a resolution demanding laws or regula- tions prohibiting the sale of second-hand clothing or second-hand bottles unless they have been cleansed and renovated under the direction and supervision of a rep- resentative of @ board of health. Concerning the execution of Francisco Ferrer, the report says “The execution Spain has aroused a world-wide sense of indignation and protest. At our meeting held at headquarters shortly after his execution, we adopted resolutions expres- sive of organized labor's protest for the cause of free speech, free press and free education which has found in Francisco Ferrer another martyr. We, of this con- ventlon endorse the preambles and resolu- tions adopted upon the subject.” In conclusion the active council says “The great central thought and Intent of the American Federation of Labor is an improved standard of life and a more in- tense loyalty and devotion to the funda- mental and orlginal spirit of liberty of thought, act and expression to all people.” The convention then adjourned for the day.
