The wcrkingmen called meeting for

to deferrlng the increase until Septem-
ber when there is always slack In

uoImes nroI,en In spIrIt,

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-The prison
authorities say that H. II. Holmes, the
swindler and suspected murderer, is
completely broken in spirit. Up to Tues
day he had hope that the woman with
whom he is said to have allied himself in
Franklin, Ind, would stand by him, but
she now says she viii testify against him.
Thomas A. Fahey counsel for Mrs Pit
eel received letter from her father who
lives in Galva. Ills. The father says he be-
lieves that Holmes murdered the Pitzel
children and that a certain lawyer had a
hand in doing away with Alice Pitzel.
Mr. Fahey denies that Mrs. Pitzel was
an accomplice of Holmes in his swindling
operations. Mrs Pitzel, he says, ''was
under the influence of this man Holmes.
She was controlled by him. My opinion Is
that the woman is as innocent as babe

CLEAR OUT THE OURS FIRST

Then the Society with the Long Name

tion.
Willard Hall Porter, who furnishes the
legal ammunition for the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty TO Animals, denies
that there WAS any difficulty in securing
man to act as dog catcher Tne place
was offered to no one but Mr. Kof.
Another error made Ia that the society

feld intends to make money on the

used for other purposes. Annual reports
