plans for our political action in the inter-

at present. The American Federation
Of Labor proposes, however, to take such
political action as will compel the law
makers, the executives and the Judiciary

the interest OF our people. We shall
elect our own representatives wherever
possible, and at all times defeat the

In q formal communication to their

the conditions OF the cotton cloth trade
are such that the mills Of Fall River

put at prices which will admit of any
return whatever on the capital invested
and that reduction of wages is impera
tive. They state that the labor laws of
Massachusetts have rendered it impos
siblc for the mills to pay the present
wages and manufacture at a profit. The
Massachusetts mills, with hours of labor
limited by law to f1fty-eight hours a
week. are forced to compete with south
ern mills which run from sixtysix to
seventy-two hours weekly, and in some
cases run day and night. Tho cost OF
labor in the southern mills Is much low

southern mills have additional advan-
tages in water power, taxes, cheap trans
portation and cheap cotton. as we'll as

setts manufacturers also admit that the

The sentiment Of the employees is said

the nurse. This led to additional caution
and two nurses alternated in constant
WatchfulneSs. She was at all times
rational quiet and gentle, and it is sup
posed the disease would yield to treat
ment. Early this morning, the nurse on
duty noticed small spot of blood on the
bed coverings. She inquired what it
meant, but the invalid endeavored to
pass 1t by lightly. On making an inves-
tigation, however, the nurse found that
the under bed clothes were saturated
with blood and that Miss Herbert had
severed the artery Of her wrist with a
pair Of scissors. Feeling that the emer-
gency was great, the nurse hastened to
the door and gave an alarm. In this
momentary withdrawal from the bed
side, Miss Herbert leaped out and sprang
from the window. The plunge was made
head foremost 80 that she lighted on the
top of her head on the pavement. This
alone WAS sufficient to have caused her
death from concussion of the brain, and
it was doubtless the immediate cause.
A cursory examination indicated that
the skull was fractured. The severing
of the artery would also have resulted
fatally. When the physician reached
her, Miss Herbert was still breathing,
but died about an hour after the leap"
The Coroner returned a verdict of sui
eide during temporary insanity. AS the
facts in the case were clear he decided
that an inquest was unnecessary.
Ex-Secretary Herbert reached Wash
ington at 10 o'clock tonight, having been
on his way from Alabama to spend the
Christmas with his family, when the
news of his daughters death met him
on the train. The funeral will be held
tomorrow and the remains will be taken
to Montgomery, Ala. for burial beside
Miss Herbert's mother.

THREE LIFE CONVICTS.
The Murderers of Juan Antonio Kael
Brought to the Pen-A Woman
Murderer Sentenced for
Life.

Sheriff Eusebio Chaves of Mora coun-
ty, who by the way is first class officer,
and Deputy Pedro Ortega brought down
from Mora on yesterday three life con-
victs and turned them over to Superin-
tendent Bergman at the penitentiary.
They we're Juan B. Romero and Sostenes
Lucero, indicted, tried and convicted
of the murder of Juan Antonio
Rael, an Indian, who was an eye
witness to the murder of John DOH
erty, ex sheriff of Mora county and was
killed in order to prevent his turning
states evidence. These two men were
tried at the last special term of court in
Mora county, the trial lasting six full days.
The territory was represented by the dis
trict attorney for that county and Hon.
@. A. Spiess of this city, and the defend
ants were defended by Hon. B. M. Real
also of this city. After an exhaustive
trial they were found guilty of murder in
the second degree and sentenced to i'm.
prisonment for life. Although the con-
voted men are in the penitentiary, serv.
ing life sentence, Mr.. Read has taken
| an appear TO inc IerrlUorlal supreme
court in the cases.
The third murderer is Jose de Graoio
Lucerc, who couple of years ago under
most shocking and brutal circumstances
killed poor Mexican woman, Dolores
Montoya by name. The motive of the
murder was robbery and 50 was the sum
total gained by the murderer. Lucero
was allowed to plead guilty and was sem
fenced for life, as it was believed that he
was somewhat deranged. He will be
carefully watched in the prison and if
found to be insane will be sent to the
territorial insane asylum at Las Vegas in
due course of time.
