Special Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, May 1L—The body of | Mrs. Grace Sefton Winters lies in an un- | dertaking establishment and her husband, 4. Ross Winters, is detained in the Cit; Jail on suspicion that he murdered her, he having admitted that he shot her, but claimed that it was an accident. The cir- cumstances attending Mrs. Winters death are such that her husband’s story will not be accepted by the police witn- out a searching Investigation and Detec- tives Auble and Rich felt warranted in placing Winters under arrest. Winters is a laborer about 28 years old. His wife was 22 years of age. They lived at 734 South Workman street, having mar- ried two years ago. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Winters both took out in- surance policies payable to one another | for $1000 each. Shortly after Winters had taken home the body of his wife to-day he notified E. W. Schmidt, the general agent/of the company, of the accident and presented a claim for the insurance on his wife's life. At st the prisoner said his wife was hot accidentally while they were out on a hunting trip, his gun l’!a\'iniA fallen and been discharged. Later he changed this story several tim: One -account w that he had crawled through the barbed wire fence into a field where he belicved there might be good shooting. He left his shot gun on the:other_ side of the fence, and his wife asked him if she could not bring it over. He consented, but cautioned her to be careful. He heard her say ‘“All right, I will.” That was the last remark she ever made. Winters heard the roar of the shot gun and turned tc see his wife in the convulsions of deatn on the ground. The charge of shot at close range tore a gaping hole in her side, just back of the left breast. The man who admits he doesn’t know it Si] is wiser than the one who thinks he GENERML LAST RAILS AT OTIS Denounces the Snl}bbing of the Governor at * | Los Angeles. | Merrier Grows Feud Between Gage and the Crosser of the Rubicon. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. | LOS ANGELES, May 11.—The whole; town is talking over the extraordinary, and, to some, inexplicable ignoring of Governor Gage during the visit of the: President to Los Angeles. “Where is the | Gevernor?” was asked by hundreds of | citizens on Wednesday afternoon and | Thursday morning during the parades. The indignity is resented by citizens, who | realize that the public has been insulted by the affront put upon the State’s chief | exccutive. The conviction prevails that General H. G. Otis is responsible for the engineering ! of the slight to Gage: that he imagined that during thé President’s visit he would | be atle to pay off some old scores, and, ! in particular, punish Henry T. Gage, who | had presumed to resent his vicious at- | tacks. Certain it is that General Otis | usurped the position of plenipotentiary extracrdinary on behalf of President Mc- Kinley and assumed a dictatorial attitude toward the executive committee—a dic- tatorship which, with a few exceptions, seems to have been meekly accepted. Otis Designed the Parade. i Two weeks ago General Otis set his mil- | itary mind at work concerning the forma- | tion of* the parade for the President’s re- | ception on Wednesday afternoon. The result was a dlagram which was hand- | ed to Major <. F. C. Klokke and dis-| patched to General Last, grand marshal of the parade. General Last's account of , the interview that succeeded , Major | Klokke’s arrival is as follows: | Major Klokke handed me this piece of parch- ment, saylng: ‘‘General Otis presents his compliments to you, General, and offers this as a suggestion for the formation of the p rade of which you are to be grand marshal. 1 examined the diagram and told Major Klokke to inform General Otis that, while I appreciated his courtesy, the formation of the parade was my business and I belleved I was able to attend to it without assistance. On further examination of General Otis’ dia- gram I discovered that no proviston was made for the Governor of the State. 1 turned to Major Klokke and said, ““What about the Gov- ernor? Where {s his carriage?’ . ,\I‘:\vjor Klokke's reply was, * e is not com- s. How Major Klokke or General Otis knew | that the Governor was not coming, except that he had not been asked, I am not able to say. The Governor was very loth to talk about the matter at all, except to posi- tively declare (hat he had never received any written invitation to take part in the | proceedings, but at the eleventh hour he had been approached by Messrs. Laugh- lin and Rule, when it was impossible for him to change his plans. The interviewer | referred to the out-of-the-way position as- | signed to Governor Nash and the Ohio visitors during the floral parade. “You don't mean to tell me,” exclaimed the Governor, “that the Ohio party were not given seats near the Presidential par- | ty! This is the first I had heard of it. It certainly seems an extraordinary arrange- ment.” Last and Laughlin Disagree. General Last had an opportunity to-day | to talk matters over with the Governor, | and was asked: “Do you think that the | Governor was deliberately slighted during | the President’s visit here?” | General Last’s reply was very emphatic: “I not only think so, but I know it, and I | am also convinced that the people arc | very indignant about it. I am also con- | vinced that the whole thing was de- | signed.” Homer Laughlin, chairman of the recep- tion committee, thinks that the persons | who stood in the recent Presidential lime- | light were the persons who ought to have | stood there. He believes that the. right | persons rode in his carriage in the two parades. Mr. Laughlin was asked: ’ “Don’t you believe that when the Presi- dent comes to a town the Governor of the State and the Mayor ought to ride in his | carriage?”’ 2 “I suppose some people might look at it in that way. But the committee got. up this pageant—we did the work and raised the money. You wiil find that the chair- men of t committees are often chosen to ride with the guest of the occasion. My committee thought I was entitled to the honor, not only as chairman, but on account of my twenty years’ acquaintance with the President.” The Governor left for the north this evening. He has accepted an invitation to take lunch with President Benjamin | Ide Wheeler at the University of Cali- fornia on May 15 to meet the President. He will dine with the Ohlo Society, but it is not known if he wlill accept the ‘invita- tion of the Union League. Mystic Shriners at Sacramento.

Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, was before the Indus- trial Commission to-day. He said that the United States corporation controls eight companies by owning their stock, and that while steps are taken to igsure the good will and co-operation of all these companies, each one generally is left to conduct business in its own way. As a rule the plan had been to take in only companies which were not competitors, but it was true that tnere were cases in which two institutions of the same line | were brought together, and in such case the managers were expected to get to- gether in making plans for sales. Enumerating the advantages of consoli- dation, Schwab sald they were found espe- clally In transportation and management and in the utilization of all the ores own- ed. In this connection Schwab said that the United States corporation owns 80 per cent of the iron ore of the country, and expressed the opinion that these ore de- posits must constantly grow in value, be- cause limited. The company makes from 65 to 75 per cent of the steel products of the country. He also said that there had been no_increase in the price of products since the organization of the United States corporation, and that the tendency is toward lower prices. Discussing the tariff, Schwab expressed the opinion that in articles of manufac- ture in which labor does not enter as an important factor the tariff might be re- moved, but in products into which labor enters largely, such, for instance, as tin- plate, it would be necessary either to re- duce wages or lose trade if the tariff were removed. He thought that except on the Pacific Coast the removal of the tariff would not interfere with the production of steel rails and billets. Schwab took a position agalnst organized labor, saying that it did not give indlviduals a fair chance in life. Schwab said it was the purpose of the parent company to control the subsidiary organizations in harmony, but this was to be done by indicating the officers of the varfous concerns. ‘“‘There may not be so many names of influence on the boards,” he said, “but the management will be ef- ficlent.” No Details of the Trust. Schwab excuses himself from speaking concerning the details of the organization of his company, once or twice saying that questions concerning capitalization, pre- miums, etc., should be asked of Morgan. “T do not know the steel trust,” he said when some one designated his company. In a general way he would say that the company is organized upon the same plan as the Federal Steel Company, but he did not consider the company over-capi- talized. He said the assets of each of the subsidiary companies had increased in value since their organization, and that the popular estimates did not place a suf- ficient value upon the mines owned by the company. He also stated in this connec- tion,_that the company owns 60,000 acres of Connellsville coking coal land, and | that in its iron mines there are 500,000,000 tons of ore in sight. He thought a reasonable profit on this jron ore would be $2 a ton. Asked how long he thought these mines would be able to meet the demand, Schwab placed the limit on the iron ore at thirty years and on the coal at sixty. Kach of the constituent companies, he said, makes ite own purchases and its own sales. “In a word,” he said, “the United States Steel Corporation is a clearing-house to which its constituent companies go for informa- tion.” Sells Goods at Lower Price, He admitted that the company seils many of its products at a lower price in foreign markets than at home, saying that this practice is followed to hold the markets. Regarding the relation of the tariff to the steel industry, he said that upon the whole he did not desire to have the tariff changed in any respect, considering it en- tirely satisfactory as at present arranged. Asked for his opinion as to the effect of the enactment of the Babecock bill, tak- ing the duty off trust-produced articles, Schwab expressed opposition to it. He did not consider as possible an interna- tioral iron and steel combination regard- less of all tariff restrictions. cussing the relations of capital to labor, he said that while he would not un- dertake to outline the future policy of the steel .corporation, he did not indorse the policy «of the labor organization as in the interest of laboring men themselves. He did hope, however, to so/arrange matters that operatives could share in the profits of the enterprise. Instead of being a det- riment, he considered the big corporations as affording the best openings for labor and enterprise. “There were never such opportunities for tkem ‘as to-day,” he sald. “If I were a laboring man, as I once was, I should not want to belong to a labor organiza- tion if emploved by a properly managed corporation like the steel company, for I would not want to be put on a level with the roorer workmen in the establishment. The tendency is to give the highest possi- Dle price for proper services, and no mem- ber of a labor organization is in a posi- tion to avail himself of snuch disposition.” He said the average of wages pald now by the steel companies is higher than pre- vious to 1862. The question was not one of wages, but of the management of busi- ness, with which the labor unions wanted to_interfere. . Schwab expressed himself as opposed to the publicity of the accounts of corpora- | tions and said he had no legislation to | suggest for thé regulation of corpora- tions. He considered-them of value both | to the investor and to labor, and ‘thought they were calculated to extend business. EARTHQUAKE ON ETNA DESTROYS SMALL TOWN Nicolosi, Situated on the South Slope of the Mountain, Wrecked and Ruined. CATANIA, Island of Sicily, May 1L--A strong shock of earthquake‘was felt to- day in the town of Nicolosf, eight miles northwest of this city, on the south slope | of Mount Etna. Several houses were dam- | aged, but nobody was injured. LONDON, May 12.—A special dispatch from Rome reports that Nicolosi was de- stroyed. g TS Conspiracy to Kill a Wife. PHILADELPHIA, May 11.—Dr. Thomas E. Eldredge was arrested to-day, charged with conspiracy to kill his wife. Several dags ago the police were notified by Paul Schroeder, a private detective, that he had been employed vy Dr. Eldredge to se- cure two letters from Eldredge's wife, who had left him. Schroeder asserted that the doctor wanted him to inject morphine into Mrs. Eldredge and if he was unable to secure the leiters by that means Eldredge said he would furnish the detective with a stock of dynamite to blow up the house in which Mrs. Eldredge resided. POWER OF THE EXPERT DUN. Thinks Any Bill Could Be Collected. Kindly Creditors Not Un- common. “I don’t doubt,” said a bill collector of long experience, “but that the most hard- ened of debtors can be made to pay by persistent dunning. Continual dropping will wear away a stone sure; the only question is, will it pay to keep the water dropping? ~ In this as in many other things it is not a question as to whether the thing can be done, but as to whether it will pay to do it. “Many a man who has, or fancies he has, teat a creditor out has really es- caped paying only because the creditor has made up his mind that it would cost more than it was worth to collect the bill, and so has stopped, though he knows well enough that he could collect it by keep- ing at it long enough; for, as a general proposition, no man is really invulnerable to all the possible varied forms of con- tinuous dunning, if they were resolutely, unflaggingiy and year after year, with an evident purpose of continuing indefinitely, applied. I repeat that what saves the debtor who does finally escape paying is not his own cheek or bluff or imagined indifference, nor even his poverty, if that be the real reason for his slowness in pay ing; what saves him is the creditor ma ing’ up his mind not to spend any more monew on him, “But there are some creditors who make it a matter of business or principle, or whatever you mind to call it, to spend any amount of money to collect debts due them; and I think myself that this is a | wise way. Not because it gives me work, | but because I think it's'good sound busi- ness practice. I like the business method | that consists in the collecting of bills at any cost. The man thus persistent may in some cases spend more than a biil amounts to to collect it,_but he doesn't | often have to do this. Withouj any ex- planation or setting forth of the creditor’s that his creditor insists on having what is due him just as I know that he will in sist on it. This isn’t a case of getting out of him what you can or seeing what you can do with him, or trying to collect | the bill—it is a case of .a settled, firm de- termination to collect it, and I know and feel it, and the debtor realizes it, and he pays, and often promptly. I believe that this creditor, who insists, at any cost, on collecting, collects after all at a smaller average cost than the the creditor who only will spend so much on a bill. *As to the dunning of a debtor, I think that it is all right to dun him. I know that for myself I haven’t the slightest squeamishness over my work as a-collec- tor. 1 think not only professionally but personally that -a man ought to pay his debts. To be sure the best intentioned and at the same time most level-headed and intelligent of men sometimes, through force of circumstances, get into deep water, and for the time may be unable to pay; but if they're square men, who in good faith mean to pay, they are likely to be met in the same spirit and not hurried. “You might be surprised to know how many creditors there are who would say in such eircumstances: ‘You tell So-and- So not to fret himself for a minute about that bill: to pay it when he gets ready,’ or, ‘tell What's-his-name that [ don't care if he never pays.’ It's a fact. I can tell You, if you don't know it of your own ex- erience or observation, that there’'s a eap of decent people in the world. ‘‘And a# to the slow but square debtors, they pay. almost to a man, though I don’t mind telling you that even among them there may be now and then one who needs proddlnf a little, gently. “A help in collecting debts in these days has come out of the application of the payment of them on the principle of pay- ments for goods bought on the installment plan. I suppose there are now more peo- ple than ever who, pay debts piecemeal, and I like the method very much; it's an everiasting sight better than not paving anything: there Is no creditor but what would prefer to get his money in that way rather than not at all. And while I don’t set myse.. up as the grand adviser and counselor of those who owe money as to what is right and proper, I say with- out hesitation that no man need feel ashamed of paying a debt in installments: | his payments, however small. will be wel- comed. he may be sure. Suppose I held for collection, for instance, a bill against’ a man for $0 and he should give me a dollar every time I called. Wouldn't that | be satisfactory? Well, I should say yes. “But I do think one thing certain. think a man ought to pay his debts, and it doesn’t disturb me a bit to ask a man for .. money.”"—New York Sun. i JURY DECLARES HIN INNOGENT Instructor Eastman of Harvard College Ac- quitted. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 1L—After a | long and dramatic trial, Charles H. East- man, the Harvard iastructor, was acquit- fed to-night on the charge of murdering | his brother-in-law, Richard Grogan Jr., | while at target pra:tice cn July 4 last. The jury, after listening for nearly three | weeks to a mass of testimony. followed by two days of argument, debated five hours and a half before reching a verdict. When the verdict was announced there was a demonstration among the 130 spec- tators which the court officers were un- able to suppress for some minutes. The young man’s father, who has stood | loyally by his side through the long strain and who has spared no expense in law- | yers and experts to clear his son of the charge, was the first to press his hand as he stepped from the prisoner's cage. Be- fore the jury lefi their seats Eastman went over and shook hands with each one and then passed out into an anteroo: where he was greeted by his relatives an friends.
