UNION DEMANDS (UNDER DEBATE Conferences EACH SIDE STANDS PAT of Maintaining Harmony Yesterday was a day of conferences Railroads and those of the Carmen’s Union. Several hours were spent by President Cornelius and Secretary | Bowling of the latter organization at the offices of the company in the morn- ing, and they put in much of the after- noon at the same place in consulta- tlon with General Manager Chapman and other railway representatives. The two sides to the controversy pro- fess that they are trying to establish permanent harmony between the com- pany and its employes. But thus far by it at the beginning of the contest. The temporary agreement of the com- pany to break in no more ‘“students,” or new men, until the demands of the was a slight concession in the interest of peace for the time being and was so understood by the men, although indication that the company is disposed risk a strike. Others, however, declare that new men are being brought here in large numbers by the company and are kept in waiting for the emergency terms of the employing corporation. taken up in detail for the first time yesterday, but neither Manager Chap- man nor President Cornelius had any- particular matters discussed. That no decision or agreement upon any point was reached was admitted. The con- and is likely to continue for several days. Many of the men on the cars yes- | terday expressed a feeling of hopeful- | Principal Refuses to Liberate Her | ness that a strike would be avoided. | —_————————— French Soclety Will Celebrate.

Mrs. Wheland continued: “Carfagni was very much in love with the German woman, who was young and good looking, but she re- fused his advances and beyond going out with him once or twice to the park I don’t think she ever had any- thing to do with him, except in the | work of the tailor shop. She was a goed woman, very much devoted to her little boy, and saved everything she could earn. She had roomed in my house for more than a year and I | never have known a woman I respect- ed more highly. Her husband was a drunkard, hence she left him two years ago. Miller, lives in Point Richmond; two others are in St. Louis.” In the building at 536 Kearny street tenants of the law offices adjoining | the tailor shop said yesterday that they had repeatedly heard Carfagni and his assistant quarreling loudly, but they knew nothing of the cause of the altercations. said to have been a man of violent temper and many eccentricities, among which his acquaintances num- bered his frequent threats to end his own life. His elder brother, Pietro Carfagni, is a tailor at 626 Montgom- ery street. rank in the Italian Masonic lodges of the city. Carfagni was about 35 years old. % One of her brothers, John | The TItalian tailor is | Both brothers held high — | His victim had reached her twenty- | eighth year. fhe had the sum of $100 50 in her pockets when shot and the tailor had with him the smaller sum of $2270. Friends'of Mrs. Wei- mer said the thrifty woman was in the | habit of carrying her savings thus upon her person. 1 Detectives Taylor and, Colman last evening found a letter at Carfagni’s lodgings that showed he had planned the murder of Mrs. Weimer as early as January last. At that time he saw her on the street one day in company with one Peter Mighels, and forthwith composed a long and desperate epistle in Italian setting forth his woes. The woman was charged with having ac- cepted a dress from her employer and then breaking her promise to keep company with him. “If you are going with some one else,” the letter con- tinues, “I want you to pay for the drese.” The rest of the letter is an ac- count of the writer’s sufferings, men- ! tal and physical, on account of the faithless treatment of which he deemed himself the victim. Urban Husson, the dead man’s land- ' lord, told the police that his tenant had been despondent for more than a month, and that the revolver with which the shooting was done had been purchased a month ago at Rafael's pawnshop on Kearny street. Carfag- ni's threats had been so numerous that those who heard them finally came to believe them meaningless. 4‘ WILL MANDAMUS AUDITOR TO PAY SALARY DEMAND Attorney Fails to Induce Baehr to Judge What Moneys of Patrol Driver Are Exempt. W. D. Grady, an attorney, visited Auditor Baehr yesterday and threat- ened to bring suit to compel the of- ficlal named to pay the salary demand of his son, Walter Grady, a patrol driver in the employ of the city. The demand is being held up by Baehr owing to a judgment having been se- cured against Grady Jr. and a garnish- ment levied on his salary.
