NEW YORK TRAGEDY.
pENTIeT KILLED EMPLOYERS
WIFE.
Murderer Completes tho Deed by Shoot
lag Himself-Invaded Woman's Room,
Shot Her Dead and Then Ended HIS
Own Life.

Mrs. Mamie Hayes was murdered
the other night in her sleeping apart
ment in the Hotel Endicott. New York
city, by DR.. Franklin L. Caldwell, who
then shot and killed himself. Tho
woman was shot In the head. Cald-
well was employed as an assistant by
Dr. Ephraim H. Hayes, husband OF the
dead woman. Three days prior to the
tragedy Caldwell ordered a solution OF
morphine, which was delivered to him
an hour before the shooting. The bot
tie which had contained the morphine
was found on table in the room with
the bodies.
DR.. E. H. Hayes came from Chicago
four years ago to take charge OF the
dental rooms of department store
company. He had been dentist well
known in Chicago, and when he left
there he placed his office in charge OF
DR.. Caldwell. Mrs. Hayes did not come
to the city with her husband, but re-
mained In Chicago for some time. Just
how long is not known.
-Four weeks before the double crime
Hayes opened an office In the Hotel
Endicott. Caldwell was placed there
as an assistant. The Hayes family oc-
cupied with the office set OF apart
ments on the ground floor OF the hotel.
With them lived DR.. Caldwell, Ralph
Hayes, nephew of DR.. Hayes, and a
colored maid. Mrs. Hayes was S5 years
old. DIR. Caldwell was the same age.
On the night of the tragedy, DR..
Hayes and his nephew went out. Mrs.
Hayes directed the servant to attend
to her work in the kitchen, at the
same time saying that she would
change her dinner gown for house
dress. Within half an hour DR.. Hayes
nephew returned, and as the servant
opened the door to admit him there
came the sound of pistol shot. TWO
more shots were fired moment later.
The young man and several others
who had heard the shots ran into Mrs
Hayes apartments. On the bed lay
Mrs. Hayes. She had thrown off the
dress she had worn at dinner. She lay
in natural position. There was a
Jagged wound in her right temple from
which the blood flowed. The bullet
had entered her brain, and she must

have died instantly. Beside the bed
lay DR.. Caldwell. He, too, was dead.
There were two bullet wounds in his
head. His right hand still clutohed
a revolver, with the finger on the trtg-
ger, showing how he had died. DR..
Hayes was found in a drug store near
at hand and hurried to the rooms. He
was quite distracted. talked wildly,
and 1t was feared for time that he
would have to be restrained. He could
not offer the faintest suggestion of a
cause for the wild act Of Caldwell.
Nothing was found that gave any idea
as to the cause OF the shooting, SO far
as he is known, or so far as any one
would say. When the revolver was
taken from the hand of the dead man
1t was found that but three chambers
were empty. 1t is learned that for sew
eral weeks Mrs. Hayes had been at
tended for nervous trouble by DR..
Richardson, a specialist. 1t Is said
that she was about to be taken to a
private institution, as her nervous
condition did not improve, and she
needed absolute quiet. There seems
to have been no indication of intended
murder on the part of Caldwell, who
had dinner with the family. The maid
says that Mrs. Hayes and Caldwell
chatted together for a few minutes af-
ter the others had left the table, and
there was not the slightest suggestion
of a quarrel. They were talking OF
commonplace affairs, she says.
Everything indicated that DR.. Cald-
well had followed Mrs. Hayes into the
bedroom almost Immediately. She had
only partly removed her bodice. Ap-
parently she had been standing with
her back to the bed when he fired upon
her. and she fell backward upon 1t.
Then there was an interval of few
seconds. Evidently Dr. Caldwell paus-
ed a few moments to make sure that
his shots were fatal. Then he turned
the weapon upon himself.

President Mitchell Receives The
Ovation of a Parade.

in his Shenandoah speech TINT a con
vention of anthracite miners viii be
held in a few days for the purpose OF

about the matter.
Ait. Carmel, Pa. Oct. Git seemed
as if every person in town was at the
Lehigh station to welcome President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
to this place. The president came here
for the purpose of participating in the
labor demonstration. At every station
where the train stopped on the way to
Shenandoah to Fit. Carmel crowds
ware on the platform to greet the
strike leader. Mr.. Mitchell was much
moved by his reception in the Schuyl-
kill valley. This place was well be
decked with the national colors in
honor of Mr.. Mitchelrs visit Upon
his arrival here he was welcomed by a
local reception committee after which
he took part in tOrchlight parade.
There was at least 900 men In line,
and there were many banners setting
forth the sentiments of the marchers
The parade terminated at the town
park, where Mr. Mitchell addressed d
mass meeting of about 1000 persons.
His speech was along the same lines
as the one he delivered at Shenandoah.
Sheriff Hatvey, of Luzerne county,
| through President Mitchell, issued his
u1timatum to marching strikers. He
says he has been lenient with them,
heretofore, but that they must now
refrain from marching or take the con-
sequences. President Mitchell assured
him he would endeavor to have the
men preserve the peace.

TEN PER CENT OFFER IGNORED
Strikers Officials Hard st Work to Close
Rest of Mines.

Hazelton, Pa, Oct 6.-Not the
Sig htest notice has been taken by the
striking miners OF the 10 per cent
offered to the employees by several of
the larger coal companies As far as
is definitely known not one striking
miner has accepted the advance, but on
the other hand more have quit their
places, notably in the Schuykill region
where three additional eollieries OF
the Reading company were shut down.
The United Mine Workers officials are
still hard at work trying to close the
few mines that continue in operation
All the organizers and the national
committeeman were in the same part
of the field during the day, only Presi-
dent Mitchell being on duty at head
quarters. Mr.. Mitchell did little else
than attend to the correspondence and
answer telephone calls from different
sections of the region. When he was
asked what was new in the strike sit
uation, he briefly replied;
I'VE are waiting on the operators. -
He says he had no information
as to the movement Of the mine owners
other than that printed in the newspa-
pers. He also remarked that the call
fo- an anthracite miners convention is
not yet in sight
Applications by striking miners for
relief are beginning to be received by
loca! unions in several sections of the
anthracite field. President Mitchell
said that wherever applications have
been made for relief, necessary sup
plies have been furnished.

CONTRACTS WAIT 4 MONTH.

EUROPE BoRRoWs FRoMU. S.

New York, Oct. S.-Dun's weekly re-
view says: The anthracite coal settle
ment has been delayed another week
and the effect upon business is appar-
ent, though distribution in the south
and west seems no less active. Sea-
sonable weather in the east viii quick
ly aid matters. Prices are slightly
lower in iron, wool, coal and sugar,
but the produce and textile markets
are firm and in all departments of
business an effort by distributors to
increase transactions would quickly
advance prices. There is little order
ing ahead in any kind of merchandise.
but steel rail makers look for contracts
for 1000, 900 tons after election Rain
is needed in the south and on the north
Atlantic coast, but in the southwest
rains have checked cotton picking.
The most interesting financial deTel-
opment was the further drop of one
cent in the pound sterling exchange,
completing a decline of two cents in
! two weeko, without any important
change in our money market At the
same time London rates for discounts
have strengthened materially, though
the Bank of England made no change
| in its rate, in which an advance had
been expected. Heavy foreign buying
of cotton has outweighed all other in
fuences. There is insufficient demand
| for regular remittances to absorb com
mercial bills drawn against this staple.
/ Cotton shipments are producing about
double the exchange they did a year
ago, and as the crop is being moved
with funds shipped from New York
and without gold imports from Europe,
the net result is that New York is
loaning foreigners about half the value
of the crop.
Most manufacturing concerns are
delaying extensive production until
after election and are buying little
raw material. Pig iron has declined
on small orders, and was also dep1 ess,
ed by the cut in southern freight
rates. Finished material and structural
lines are steady. Export buying does
much to prevent dizziness. Contracts
for cars, bridges and plates for ship
building were signed during the week
and rails we're sold at S26 to domestic
roads, while small amount was taker
