ANDERSON STRIKERS.
Labor Commissioner Schmid Paid
Them a Visit.

Labor Commissioner Schmid returned
from Anderson yesterday, where he has
been holding a conference with the en-
ployes of the American Steel and Wire
Company, who are striking for a higher
uniform wage scale. The strikers belong
to the order of Rod Millmen, about 1900
members Of which went out on a striAe at
New Castle, Pa, insisting that uniform
wage scale should be established. The en-
ployers refused to treat with them as
body, but Jan. 6 the wages of the men
were increased as individuals, the en-
ployers claiming that it was impossible TO
establish uniform scale of wages on
count of the different conditions prevail
ing in different localities. The men refused
to accept the advance and as yet have re-
fused to return to work

TO KILL HIS WIFE.
The MurderOus Attack II Made I'm the
Law ONCE of w. II. Schwartz
Robinson Arrested.

Paul Waldo Robinson, an electrical work.
err, returned yesterday from Minneapolis
and, after going to the Office of w. B.
Schwartz, 1461s East Washington street.
and, asking his wife from whom he had
been separated for six months, to again
live with him, shot three times at her in
flicting an ugly but not dangerous wound
in her right 3shoulder. Only one Of the
three shots fired took effect. One of the
bullets narrowly missed Schwartz who
hurried to the young woman's assistance.
According to all reports and statements
of Robinson and the injured woman, the
attempted murder was contemplated for
some time. Letters from Robinson to other
women in the city show he had considered
the matter for some time.
The shooting occurred about II a. m.
Schwartz was in his office talking with A.
j. Bailey. Robinson entered and going to
where his wife sat asked to talk with her.
She was much surprised, not showing he
was in the city; but, though she had told
him before she would have nothing further
to do with him, went into a small room
adjoining the main office.
Mr.. Baily had just left the Office when a
shot was fired in the room occupied by
Robinson and his wife. A second quickly
followed. Schwartz sprang to the door and
opened it. Robinson was pointing the
smoking revolver at his wife. He grabbed
the woman and showed her from the room
and then Robinson fired the third shot
while Schwartz was trying to wrest the
weapon from him. Justice Hay, whose Of
flee is on the opposite side of the hall, and
II H. -
Robinson. The police were quickly on the
scene and, after short consultation, the
prisoner was taken out through a window
and over roof to exit on Delaware
street, in order to avoid the crowd gathered
on Washington street.
Dispensary physicians were called and
DR.. Griffiths, who examined the woman
awaiting the arrival of the hospital am
bulance, found the bullet had lodged near
the base of the shoulder blade about a
quarter of an inch under the skin. The
woman was removed to the home of her
father, John u. Gisler, S24 Greer street.
The. bullet was extracted and unless blood
poisoning sets in she will undoubtedly re-
cover.
Robinson, though fairly we'll dressed, has
the appearance of affecting toughness and
apparently takes much pleasure in hear
ing himself spoken of as q bad man.
Lawyer Schwartz said the woman came
to him several months ago and through
him brought suit for divorce. She claimed
that since their marriage two years age
she compelled to work most of the
time and supported herself and husband
and concluded to leave him.
Robinson purchased the revolver with
which he did the shooting at pawn shop
on East Washington street and said he
bought IL with the intention of killing his
wife if she refused to live with him again
He said he had heard charges of improper
conduct made against his wife and when
questioned about them she refused to con.
firm or deny them.
Robinson is charged with shooting with
intent 10 kill.

In Room 8. Superior Court, yesterday,
Judge Carter issued an Injunction against
James Vannatta to prevent him from
disposing of certain notes. The injunction
was issued on the application of Jacob Ii.
Slater. who brought suit for damages
against Vannatta. The latter formerly kept
a livery stable on East Michigan street
He sold his establishment to Slater and
Frank La Sale. 1t is asserted that the
sale was consummated on the strength of
Vannatta's statement that he had a lease
en- the building. Slater afterward bought
his partners interest. He says he has dis
covered that Vannatta had no lease on
the building. He demands damages in the
sum of $3.50. The notes referred to in the
injunction proceedings are paper which
was given Vannatta in payment for the
stable. The plaintiff does not want Van
natta to dispose OF the notes until the
damage suit is tried. Vannatta figured con-
spicuously in the trial OF Mrs. Maud Good

On the first ballot six of the Jurors were
I'm favor of imposing the death penalty.
The other six voted for life Imprisonment.
The voting continued this way until yes
terday morning, when the six who favored
hanging came over to the others. After
the verdict was read there was the usual
gossip and speculation about how the jur-
ors had voted. 1t was said that had the
six who favored the death penalty stood
out awhile longer the six who were con-
tending for life imprisonment would have
given up. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh and
his deputy, John M. WALL are being con-
graduated by their friends over the sue
cessful prosecution of the case. John F.

for Turner. will file a motion for new

on Toledo street. He was jealous of her
and imagined that she thought more of
some other man than she did of him.

The disease started at the little village of

a demurrer to an injunction obtained by
the American Express Company against
the collection of taxes on it's property.
The company alleged that its property had
been unfairly assessed, contending that IL
should not be assessed on its mileage In
foreign countries, but only on its 80 900 mile
age in this country. The company further
alleges that il is wrongfully assessed on
about Sl7.000,000 OF stock and bonds which
are tied up In New York. Attorney Gen.
eral Taylor in his demurrer insists that
the company should pay taxes on it's COM
plete mileage and also on its stocks and
