SIXTY OF THEM ASKED TO RETURN

Commsndant Says That Work is Slack at
Island, Anyway, and 1t Will be ImpossI-
BILE, at Present, to Give Work to All the
MsehInIsts Who Went Out on a Strike
Conflicting Reports From the Capital.
The machinists did not return to
work at Rock Island arsenal this
morning, as it was stated they would
in the telegram that came from
Washington from Grand Master
O'Connell.
Maj. Blunt at that time had not
received any official information or
instructions from the department.
Later today Mai. Blunt, in answer
to inquiries, received a telegram from
the chief of ordnance, instructing
him to take back as many of the ma
chinists as are needed and to explain
to the men the necessity for a reduc-
tion of the force at the arsenal. This
the commandant did today to 4 COM
mittee representing the machinists
that called and was received by him.
He said he had written letters to 60 Of
the old hands to come back to work,
but that he would be obliged to lay
these off early in June on account of
n lack of work. The committee told
Maj. Blunt they would call on him
again.
4 member of the machinists' COM
mtttec told The ARGUS this after
noon that the proposition was not
satisfactory; that all of them, or none
at all, would return.
Maj. Blunt SAYS the present force
of machinists, 40 in number can
finish all orders on hand early in
July. 1t is expected large re auctions
will soon have to be made in other de-
partments at the arsenal.
Several of the machinists applied TO
Maj. Blunt for reinstatement yester-
day. They were told he was without
authority to take them back, but
would forward their applications to
Washington. Maj. Blunt says work
is getting slack at the arsenal, as
funds are low now that the end of the
fiscal year, June 80, is so near at
hand, and that it will be impossible
to furnish employment at present, at
least, TO all the machinistS who left
the island at the beginning of the
trouble.

Billings, Mont. Nov. 24.-At 1908 this
morning William c. Brooks was hanged
for the murder Of his wife, Jennie c.
Brooks, in this city on Nov. IS, 1898.
Brooks met death calmly, walking to the
gallows without any assistance and sing
ing all the way.
Before the moose was adjusted he mo-
toned Sheriff Hubbard to be allowed to
pray. This being granted he knelt on the
carpet on the ground in silent prayer for
a couple of minutes and on arising moved
into position under the gallows. He was
the moose. but he stopped as Jailer Hard
inge placed the black cap on his head.
1t was fully twelve minutes after the
drop fell before Doctors Townsend and
Rhinehart pronounced him dead.
Brooks last night was spent very
quietly. His death watch said he did
not sleep much, but he was not restless.
He absolutely refused to eat a good
breakfast prepared for him this morning.
He arose at 5 o'clock and spent the time
in singing and praying. He refused to
commune with the ministers of the Cos

from neighboring village, viewed the

the burglar was thrown into an ordi-
