CITY OF MEXICO. May 4.-In the case of
Chester Rowe, Of Poweschick county,
Iowa, accused of enbezzling public
moneys, Judge Aguelar imposed sem
tense of twelve years and two months i'm
prisonment in Belim prison. This case
has been q notable one in the history of
Mexican jurisprudencs, as Rowe after
committing the offense, came here and
took out papers of Mexican citizenship,
hoping thus to evade punishment. But
under the penal code an offense committed
abroad and continued on Mexican soil Is
punishable and Bowe's case viii serve as
a warning for criminals hoping to find .
safe asylum in Mexico.
Lawyer Alfore, for plaintiff, said that
Rowe only made himself a Mexican to
eyade the punishment that awaited him
in Iowa for misrepresentation Of SIS. .000.
He had deserted his family. never having
sent his wife but so from here. Rowe's
defenders claim that the client was not
wholly answerabie for the supposed crime
committed in the United States. The
case was appealed to the supreme court,
but it is generally believed among law
yers here that the decision will be sus-
fained

MILWAUKEE, May "A strike Of the
800 employees Of the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light Co.. was inaugurated
last night, and as each car was run into
the barns motorman and conductor left it
not to return until the demands of the
union for increased pay. recognition of
the employees organization, and several
minor concessions are granted. The
Electric Railway Co. has seen that a
strike was to occur and has been quietly
arranging to ell tho strikers places. A
number Of men havc been brought here
from other cities to take the places of the
strikers, and arc quartered in the several
barns. The strike was determined on at
midnight at mass meeting of members
OF the union. 1t had been determined to
request tho officers Of the electric road for
another conference today in hopes that an
understanding would be reached
Railway Ohicials Would Not Confer.
When 1t was learned by the officers OF
the union that men from other cities were
being imported, and that the company
was preparing to Immediately fill tho
places Of the OLD employees, it was deter.
mined TO ask n conference last night with
the officials Of the company. The request
was sent to ce-President Henry c.
Payne, who replied that the company
would receive no communication from
the men and would in no manner treat
with its employees further. When this
answer was announced at the meeting of
the union a vote was taken on a motion
to declare strike and 1t was carried
unanimously. The directors Of the road
sent their reply to the men yesterday
morning, in which they positively refused
to grant two OF tho leading requests
those for higher wages and tho settlement
OF difficulties by arbitration.
Neither Party Making Concessions.
The officials. however. signified their
willingness to discuss the minor griev-
ancos with the men. General Manager
Wymnn said that no discussion would
alter the determination Of the directors to
conccdo nothing In their position relative
to wages and arbitration, and the men
said that no agreement could be accepted
by them In which present conditions in
these respects form part.

Ice Of the city. The several lines are
owned by the one company and every en-
ploye OF the road Is a member Of the

employees tho electric light employees are
involved and will probably strike today.
They number $50 men and operate
the only electric lighting plant in the
city. Unless the company Is prepared to
man the power house the city will be
without light tonight except for
gas. That serious trouble Is expected is
evidenced by the activity at police head
quarters and the shcrif's office.

had been sworn In, and more will go on
duty today. Tho sheriff will have a
large force of special deputies on duty.
He has also taken steps co confer with the
