The men want higher wages and imprcved conditions with reference to thelr work The strike has been threatening for more than a month and the situation has become so critical that President Burt thought it expedient to consult with the higher authorities.

SALT LAKB, Utah, Sept. 24—The eleventh biennial convention of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Electrical Work- ers came to a close to-night with the in- stallation of the new oficers. The fight for the next convention was to-day nar- rowed down to Louisville, Ky., 'and El necessity for such a course. The Gov- ernor, however, decided that troops were needed and on September 4 ordered al- most the entire National Guard of the State, about 1000 men, to the district, un- der command of Brigadier General Chase. Since that time several prominent mem- bers of the Miners' Union, including all the members of the executive committee, which had the strike in charge, have been arrested without warrant and held in the guardhouse. Habeas corpus proceedings were begun in their behalf last week. General Chase and his legal advisers held that though martial law had not been formally declared, it was really put in force by the order issued by the Governor directing the troops to maintain order, and therefore the civil court had no juris- diction. GOVERNOR PEABODY YIELDS. DENVER, Colo., Sept. 24.—Governor Peabody said this afternoon that the de- cislon of Judge Seeds in the habeas corpus cases at Cripple Creek would be respected. He sald that the formal order In the case would be issued from headquarters in the fleld.

ETTA FITZGIBBONS CONVICTED BY A JURY Fires Five Shots at Joseph Gagan in Her Rooms Without Any. Mrs. Etta Fitzgibbons was convigted by a jury in Judge Cook’s' court yesterday on the charge of assault to murder and will be sentenced to-morrow. There was @ question raised as’to her sanity,:and she was sent last week to the. insane ward in the Central Emergency Hospital for observation.. A jury was impaneled to- decide the question and after hear- ing the testimony of Drs. McGettigan and Lustig last Saturday the jury declared that the woman was sane. Her attorney made"the plea of insanity as a defense, and it was remarked as strange that two of the jurors accepted to try the case had acted on the jury on the ques- tion of insanity. The woman was charged with firing five shots at Joseph Gagan of 24 Franklin street in her rooms at 1 Fifth street on May 3. Each of the bullets took effect. She claimed that Gagan attempted to choke her, but he denied it, and said the shooting was entirely unprovoked. Four years ago the woman fired three shots at George Bowers, a grocery clerk, in her rooms on Grant avenue, and at th time was sent to the insane asvium at Napa and was released about & year ago. !

Leon Samuels of the Twenty-ninth AssembBly District placed Greif in nomination. He spoke as fol- low: 1 esteem it a great pleasure to be able to participato- in the deliberations of this con- vention, but I esteem it a greater pleasure and a higher honor to be able to present to you the name of that grard man, that loyal friend, that noble, stanch and stalwart Republican, John J. Grelf. (Applause.) The office of County Clerk, gentlemen, in years past, has been the storm center of many a political bat- tle, but despite the fact the battle has waged flercely above the heads of the incumbents of that office, no matter how flercely, no matter how strong the opposition, there has been one man in that County Clerk's office who has been thoroughly free from the breath of sus- picion, and that man, gentlemen, is John J. Grelf. (Applause.) The speaker continued at great length praising his candidate. Time was called on him and he had to desist. A. Van der Naillen Jr., who was a candidate for the nomination, took the platform to second the nomination of Greif and also appealed to the delegates who intended to support him to throw their support to Grief. Thomas Maher placed Colonel Thomas F. O'Neil in nomination. He said he knew Mr. O'Nell had no chance of securing tho nomination, although he had some days ago. He praised the colonel highly. He told of his splendid military record and of his high standing in the community. The friends of George J. Boyne evidently advised him to withdraw from the fight and his name was not mentioned. A roll call developed the following vote: Greif, 299%; O'Nell, 19%5. Cheers were given for “Johnny” Greif and he took the platform to thank the convention and also to indorse the ticket. Cheers were given for Henry J. Crocker and the entire ticket. The delegates left the hall in numbers. Chairman Partridge announced as a purity committee R. H. Countryman, John F. McGowan, E. M.

P. Humphreys of Salem, Ore., Is Rescued in Time by Two Detectives. J. P. Humphreys, an enfeebled man, 71 vears of age, came to the city a few days ago from Salem, Ore., where his wife died recently. He desired to be away from the scenes surrounding his married life. He registered at the Brooklyn Ho- tel and yesterday morning after break- fast left the hotel for a walk. He was followed by Tom Furey, a well known bunko man, who accosted him and sald that his cousin was a banker in Salem. Furey took the old man to a room in the Vendome House, 1104 Market street, where were his brothet, Joseph Furey, and Harry Walters and James Lestrange. The old man had $105 in his pockets and the bunko men began to play a game of poker. The old man was asked to take 2 hand. He told them he did not understand the game and expressed his astonishment at being taken there, Jo- seph Furey was seen by Detectives Ryan and Taylor going into the Vendome House and they followed him.

The convention adjourned sine die, with three rousing cheers for the ticket. ke S DEMOCRATS DO NOTHING. Factions Vote Harmoniously on Mo- tion to Adjourn. The delegates to the Democratic Mu- nicipal Convention met for a few min- utes in Union Square Hall last night and adjourned to meet in the Alhambra Thea- ter on next Monday night. The excuse given by the leaders was that the hall was too small to accommodate the dele- gates and friends of the Democracy. Those who are on the inside say the adjournment{#iyas taken in order to give Franklin K. ne an opportunity to de- cide whether he would take the nomina- tion for Mayor. It is said that Mr. Lane wants more harmony in the party and that an effort is being made to bring the two factions together. Another reason is that the Democratic convention is desir- ous of seeing what the Union Labor con- vention does on next Saturday night. When Chairman Thomas W. Hickey called the meeting to order, Thomas E. Curran arose and asked for an adjourn- ment. He stated the hall was too small. For the first time in the convention there was harmony. William Hoff. Cook, one of the leaders of the minority, seconded the motion to adjourn and before it could be carried half the delegates were on their way down the street. 8. Strauss, B e S R s s s sl ] FOUR GUESTS PERISH IN A BURNING HOTEL Flames Spread Rapidly and Sleepers on Upper Floors Are Unable to Escape. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 24—At least four lives were lost in the fire which de- stroyed the Hotel Brunswick to-day. The bodies were taken from the third floor and are mnot identified. About forty guests, most of them visitors to the annual county fair here, were in the building when the fire broke out about 1 o'clock. It is believed that the remains of other guests not accounted for will be found in the ruins. The register of the hotel was destroyed in the fire and the list of guests | could not be secured. The fire originated in the explosion of a kerosene lamp in the kitchen and by the time the fire companies had arrived the bullding was in flames. A. E. McCue jumped from the second-story window and was seriously, if not fatally injured. Another man, unidentified, jumped from the third-story window and landed on the electric light wires, from which he was removed, seriously injured, by the fire- men. The monetary loss is $15,000. —_————— In England ninety-nine towns own their own gas works, the average net Income being §1,947,125 per annum. in the world, will close down Saturday afternoon indefinitely.

Means a;. Decrease in Building Oper- ations. Foy Ui Special Dispatch to The Call. EW YORK, Sept. 24—By the victory of Samuel J. Parks before the convention of the National Assoclation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers at Kansas City it is estimated that there will be less building operations there has been for. many years. Expert builders to-day sald it would make at least $20,000,000 difference in the | year's record and there would be no great | resumption until Parks and his men were finally conquered. Members of the Em- ployers’ Assoclation) were emphatic in de- claring. that the removal of the ban | against Local No. 2 by the convention would have absolutely no effect on their present plan of campaign. It will be the capitalist who will be the faltering one. He will prefer to keep his money in his strong. box rather than see it lie idle by possible cessation of work on his enter- prises. “The Employers’. Assoclation is abso- lutely unconcerned whether Parks won or lost at Kansas City, so far as its cam- paign is concerned,” sald L. K. Prince, Vice president of the organization. “Of course, It regrets to see that a convicted felon is leader of 4000 workmen. We are recognizing that his apparent victory out there will postpone the dissolution of his empire. We will go ahead dealing only with unions that have ‘signed the arbi- trary agreement. “These unfon men who have followed Parks blindly will be enthusiastic now and no doubt will reaffirm their allegiance to him with extravagant demonstration, but the time is coming when they will realize what this has cost them. The realiza- tion will be forced on them by the dis. covery that this winter there will be less work for them than there has been in many years. “So far as concerns building eperations now under way, it is safe to say that the Assoclation feels perfectly easy. It has enough iron workers in the independent union to supply its demand.” KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept 24—Sam Parks and his followers are now prac- tically in control of the convention of the International Association of Bridge and Srtuctural Iron Workers. Parks and his friends are reticent about what they will do with thelr power, but it is claimed by | the Parks element that R. B. Nedig, | president of the union of which they are members in New York, and Frank Buch- anan, president of the international as- soclation, have been repudiated and will be.deposed. Parks says that Nedig was deposed before he left New York for the convention, but that upon the return to New York of the delegation. decisive ac- tion will be taken in regard to Nedig.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 2i—Simon Burns, general master workman of the Knights of Labor, returned from Wash- ington, D. C., to-day, where he had been attending a meeting of the general execu- tive board. He reports the adoption of the following resolutions: Whereas, The newspaper reports that cer- tain labor organizations and their leaders are attempting to have organized labor take up the fight of the enemies of President. Rooseve(t because of his action in the dispute existing in the Government printing office In Washing ton, and belleving the President the best friend organized iabor ever bad in the White ‘House and that the present move is a political one on the part of politicians who control some few labor leaders with a desire to attempt to defeat the nomination of President Roosevelt; therefore, be it Resolved, by the general executiva board of the Knights of Labor, incorporated, That the action taken at this time agaimst President Roosevelt is not in the interest of organized labor, but a political move, that, if carried out, will disrupt or lower organizations and injure the members, and if the leaders at- tempt any such action the majority of the members of all organizations, without regard %o their political opinioms, should refuse to recognize, and repudiate, such leaders and their action; be it further Resolved, That such action as is contem- plated axainst President Roosevelt is one of the many errors and mistakes made by or- ganized labor, as they seemed inclined to ignore the rights of others, ¢ make demands that are unreasonabie. not on the justice of their conten claims, but the amount of loss or trouble t can cause others and to see what they m: secure by depending on politicians and not on the justice of their demands; and be it further Resolved, That as Senator Hauna of Ohlo is sald to be a great friend of organized labc and that he Is considered & loyal supporter and sincere friend of President Roosevelt, wa therefore suggest to both sides of the present controversy existing in the printing office that they refer the dispute to Senator Hanna for a decision.
