AN IMPORTANT MEETING
Of Builders of All Classes Called to Meet in
St. Louis December 20.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oc.. 21.--A call has been
issued by H. w. Steanbish, secretary OF
the Building Trades Council of ST. Louis,
for a general convention of councils to
be held in this city or Dec. 90 The call
was sent to the councils In Detroit, San
Francisco, Utica, N. Y; Kansas City,

phis, Minneapolis, Hartford. Milwaukee,
Pittsburg. Duluth, Little Rock, Clevs-
land, Atlanta, Denver. Galveston. st.
Paul and East st. Louis. In these cities
councils have been thoroughly organized
and are strong.
The convention promises TO be enc of
the most important labor meetings ever

on q building. both skilled and common

especial interest to these particular

the building and met the jurors emerg-
ing from the jail yards.
1t was reluctantly admitted by several
of them that the disagreement was
brought about by wide difference Of
opinion regarding the rings found in
the vat, the testimony of Emma and
Gostleiba Schimpke and the testimony of
Ksnosha witnesses who positively testi-
fed that they saw Mrs. Louisa Luetgert
alive in the Wisconsin town on May 8,
and 5. Juror Harley did not believe
the rings found in the middle vat of
Luetgert's factory were Mrs. Luetgsrts $
ring. Holabird was inclined to believe
the story of the Kenostla witnesses de-
spite the impeaching evidence intrc,
duced and Barber would not believe the
strong evidence given by the Schimpke
sisters. These ware considered the
strong features of the trial by these
jurors.
The Associated Press tonight obtained
the one great feature missing in the
famous Lustgert trial-the sworn testi-
mony of the defendant himself Adolpll
L. LueHgert.
Closely following the result of the trial,
which has attracted worldwide atten-
ton Luetgeft made under oath tonight
a staten MT concerning the crime
charged against him. the first sworn
statement yet made by him. The afti-
davit was put in writing and certified
to by a notary.
Judge Vincent, leading counsel for the
defendant in this celebrated case-the
man to whose brains and skill Luet-
gert owes his great legal victory, gave
consent to the affidavit being made. The
afficavit explicitly declares Luetgerts
innocence.
The document in full is as follows:
To the Public: The result of my trial
ending today is a victory for me, be-
cause of the disagreement of the jury,
but I am very much disappointed and
very much surprised that the jury did
not bring in a verdict of not guilty
I did not kill my wife and do not
know where she is, but I am sure it is
only a question CT time until she comes
home.
I did not go upon the witness stand
because my lawyer, Judge Vincent, was
bitterly opposed to my doing SO, and be-
cause he advised me it was not neces-
sary.
I am grateful for the tremendous
change in public sentiment in my favor,
and time will demonstrate that I am
not only an innocent man but very
grievously wronged man.
1t was signed by Adolph L. Luetgert.

AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Delegation viii Come to Washington For That
Purpose Germany's Position.

Honolulu, Oct. 14.-via San Francisco,
Oct 21.-It was definitely decided yes
terday among Ha waiians opposed to am
neNa tion that commission of five men
should be sent to Washington to make a
determined fight against the ratification
of ihe annexation treaty. AT least three
Hawaiian societies will give their sup
port to the movement. 1t is generally
understood that J. o. Carter, white
man, win head the commission.
A prominent citizen. who has recently
returned from Germany, states that the
Hawaiian annexation question is receiv-
ing some consideration among the Ger
man people.
A number of passengers expressed
themselves in favor of an amalgama-
tion of the two republics. In that event
they think that Germany should be all
ence on the part of the United states.
This they diem simple matter of fair
ness and justice. The Americans have
the greatest amount of capital invested
in the Hawaiian islands and the coun-
try is thoroughly Amefcanized. In Sa-
the same position. The bulk of the
money invested there had came from
Germany and therefore Germany had as
much right to absorb Samoa as Uncf>
Sam had to take in Hawaii.
