HOW MURDER WAS DONE

GRASS VALLEY, Dec. 12.-Interest

startling facts will come to light.
Yesterday Charles Allen, Mrs. Jennie

AS there was no bullet hole in the coat

fired.

Contend That They Kidnapped
Miss Stone in Cause
Of Religion.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. E.-The
latest information regarding Miss Ellen
N. Stone, the American missionary, and
Madame Tsilka, her companion, indicates
that their condition has been. so far
ameliOrated that they are able to obtain
rude comforts. 1t is even said that the
brigands have a doctor ready at hand i'll
case his services should be needed. 1t
appears that the brigands are now COM
plaining that Miss Stone is attempting to
convert them to Christianity, While rec
Ognizing the illegality of the abduction
CT Miss Stone and Madame Tsilka, the
brigands contend that their action was in
the interest Of a sacred cause, and there

The bEigands apparently are prepared
TO hold out all winter. They refuse to
abate theil demands one collar and have
not vouchsafed a reply to Dickinsons
ultimatum TO the effect that they must
accept his last offer or nothing. 1t is
believed in well Informed circles, how
ever, that were the gold actually prof

PLOT To RAISE
PRICE OF LABOR
Iglesias and Associates
Are Found Guilty at
Porto Rico.
The Prisoners Are Released
Pending an Appeal to the
Supreme Court.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec lz--oah-
tiago Iglesias, president of the Federation
of Workmen of Porto Rico, with nine
companions, was tried in the District
Court at San Juan yesterday on the
charge of conspiracy. To-day 1sleslaS
was sentenced to two years and three
months and eight days Imprisonment:
Seven of his companions were sentenced
to four months Imprisonment, while two
were acquitted on the charge of being the
founders of an illegal association and con-
spiracy in August, 1900, to raise the price
of labor in Porto Rico. IglesiaS, as the
founder of the conspiracy, gets the heaSl-
est sentence. The other men were mere
Iy his associates in the crime. Under
Spanish law, which is still in force here,
persons convicted of crime have to pay
the costs. The local Federation of the
Workmen of Porto Rico, which is part
of the American Federation of Labor,
under the presidency OF Samuel GOmpers,
has been ordered dissolved, as 1t mas Deen

sented as TO the illegahty OF the local
Federation, although he agreed that 1Sle-
sias was guilty or conspiracy to raise
the price Of labor in August, 1900, when
the currency of Porto Rico was changed:
At that time nearly all the merchants and
employers here raised their prices from
pesos to dollars, an advance OF 80 cents
lgleSiaS did the same, cOntendlng lndI ne
only raised wages in proportion to other
increases. This constitutes the consplr-
The case has been appealed to the Su-
preule Court of Porto Rico, where II Will
probably be heard in month. Pending
this appeal Iglesias is at liberty.
The mass meeting Of the Federation OF
Labor called for next Sunday probably
will be called off, as the plans of the fed

saws politics influenced the decision
against him, as the Judges belong to the
local Republican party, while Iglestas is
a FederaIist. One Of the acquitted men
has turned Republican, it is Saids since
the time of the conspiracy.
Since Iglesias has been here as the 10
cal organizer of the American Federation
of Labor he has been continually at
tackled in circulars and threatened by Ger
tain Republicans who oppose his plans.
Last Tuesday night these Republicans
fired several shots at the building Of the
federation. The police searched the rooms
of these men for arms, but found moth

been arrested up to this morning. Iglesias
petitioned Governor Hunt, citing repeat
ed assaults upon his men, and asking for
protection. Iglesias said: eff the laws
of Porto Rico are inadequate to punish
these offenders, If I cannot continue my
work of AmericantZing Porto Rico labor

can return to the United States, aban-

that If ever any legal steps are taken there
will be no compromise.
Meanwhile NANNY" Pleasant is living

NANNY" Is Uncommunicative.
Last evening Call reporter was escort

Sam Davis, after the humorist had fin
ished his days work with his associate
Stone.
Davis had a key to the dingy fiat at
2107 Webster street, where the old colored
woman lives. The house was ,shrouded
I in darkness, but Davis assured the re-
porter that Nanny was at home. Up
the dark stairs went Davis followed by
the newspaper representative, and the
edies and what not was entered.
Davis marched into the hallway and

response. Then the humorist used up all
his matches to peek through keyholes to
see If NANNY was around. The doors

Davis and the reporter entered the room
and the colored girl put the candle on the
table and turned the reflector full the
newspaper writer's face, so that 1t was
impossible to see about the room.
The colored girl left the room saying
that Nanny would arrive in few
minutes. In order to while away the
time Davis discussed the former sur

them to her present humble ones.
'Quite a contrast this is" said DAVIS,

While Davis and the reporter discussed

to the discussion of her merits by Davis
