CONFESSED TO ARSON.
Mrs. Louisa Weaver Signs Written
Statement Setting Forth That
She Set Her House OH Fire.

Mrs. Louisa Weaver. the elderly
woman who was arrested on Saturday
last on the charge of arson. signed a
written confession yesterday in the
presence of Superintendent of Police
Robling. Detective Day and Sergeant
Dieter, setting forth that she deliber-
ately set the house at 1920 Sanderson
avenue OH fire for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the $500 insurance which she
recently placed upon her furniture.
The woman lived on the second floor
of the house at 1920 Sanderson avenue.
the ground floor being occupied by the
owner, A. Conrad, and his wife. both
of whom were asleep early Saturday
morning when Mrs. Weaver set the
place on fire.
In her signed statement the woman
admits that she had $500 insurance
placed on her furniture recently with
the deliberate intention III mind Of set
ting the place on fire. She says that
she moved the best furniture out of
the house q few days before she set
it on fire and that she was prompted
to do what she did by her extreme
need of money.
1t is due largely to the efforts of De-
tcctive Day that the confession was
secured from the woman. He pointed
out to her that the police had an al
most fawless case against her, even
her own daughters practically adj
mitting that the story she told in police
court on Sunday morning did not sound
plausible.
He explained to her that If she plead
ed guilty she would stand a much bet
ter show in court than if she went
in with q plea of not guilty and sought
to bolster UP a practically hopeless
case With tissue Of false testimony.
She appreciated the weight of his ar
guments and voluntarily wrote out and
signed the written confession. She was
later taken to the county Jail.
The maximum penalty for deliberate
ly setting fire to a dwelling house in
this state Is !: fine not to exceed $4,000
and Imprisonment at solitary conflne-
ment for a period not to exceed twen-
ty years.

Thanksgiving Evening

The st. Lukcs parish house auditorium
will be filled with lovers of artistic
work at the piano. for it is said that
Hochman is wonderful in his mastery
of that wcllknown and much abused
instrument.
The excellence of his work can scarce
ly be understood in advnnce--he must
be heard. Those who have heard him
cannot find words to express their ad
miration of his ability and skill. This
Pittsburg notice is like all the rest:
The performance Of Il young Russian
pianist, Arthur iIochman, came Us a
surprise tn all who heard him at the
closing concert With less laudation
from press agents than most famous
piansts who come this way. his playing
compared favorably with them. He
came upon Pittsburgcrs quietly, and
relying entirely upon his merits, won
the plaudits of the thousands who
heard him. In the Lisat Concerto IN T.
Hat he undertook the translation Of n
work difficult and wonderful. He played
to the accompaniment OF the Paur or
chestra. ana his cOloring and thorough
appreciation of the beautiful parts
came as "a real pleasure. He is truly a.
pianist of no mean calibre. virile and
powerful, and withnl Il thinking musl-
clan whose execution serves as u Ve-
hicle for the real depth of his concep-
ton. He has q wonderful wrist, and
seemed to delight in rapid runs ana
trills. For an encore he played IL
Tschaikowsky number. In this he was
not accompanied. and gave a delightful
rendition of the dainty music. His per-
formance augurs we'll for his coming
tour. and PittsburgerS Will welcome
him at his concert here this winter

MIR. DIMMICK's REMARKS.

When he had finished reading the re-
port and the resolutions. Mr.. Dimmick
explained that none Of the members of
the committee were opposed to organ

operation of capital and labor for the
best interests of the city at large, and
that both must be held to certain re-
strictions of sound moral courage.
The committee, he said, has endeav-
ored to suggest remedy for the sup
preston of the boycott, but have not
endeavored to settle any disputes. In
view of the movement that is now un-
der way for the erection of Il memorial
monument in this city. 1t behooves the
citizens generally to see to 1t that all
existing consplracies are wiped out. and
that all who preach virtue practice it

Mr.. Sanderson moved that the report
of the committee be received, that the

was unanimously adopted, Il standing

fered the following motion:
'"rhat from now on the members Of

A motion to adjourn was then enter
tanned, and the members repaired to
the dining tables where lunch was
served by Hanley.

FIJI. UPTON ARRESTED.
General Manager of Imperial Paint
Company Charged With Emhez-
zling $2,134.48.

Francis Fl. Upton, former general
manager and agent Of the Imperial
Stain, Paint and Filler company, was
arrested yesterday at the instance of
George ID. Brown, one of the stock
holders, on the charge of emhezzlng
$2.l34.4s of the company's funds.
The warrant was issued by Alder
man Kasson on an information sworn
to by Mr. Brown before his attorney,
Cornelius Comegys. Mr.. Upton, when
he learned that the warrant had been
issued. appeared before the alderman
with Martin Flynn, proprietor of the
Lackawanna Valley House, who went
his bail in the sum OF $1,000.
Mr.. Brown, when seen yesterday af-
ternoon by a Tribune man, said that
Mr.. Upton's arrest had been decided
upon at q meeting OF q few of the
stockholders held in the morning
1.-THE company recently made an as
signment." said he, because the busi-
ness was not paying. We could not
understand it at all. We seemed to be
doing a good business and yet we kept
going behind. We began to look over
the books OF the concern and found the
source of the trouble.
I'VE discovered evidence to show
that Mr.. Upton, in whom we placed the
most implicit confidence, had been mis-
appropriating large sums. We found
that he had many improper entries and
that he had charged up as expenses
large amounts which he had absolute
ly no authority. to spend without con-
sulting the officers of the company.
For instance we found one item Of
$500 charged UP on the books for din
ners, cigars and other expenses There
We're no vouchers to show that this
large expenditure had been authorized
by anybody save Mr.. Upton himself
and he had no right whatever to ex-

the officers OF the company. 1t is crs-
tomary In most companies to allow II
certain amount for legitimate expenses
Incurred in treating customers, but
we would hardly agree to such IN ex-
pent1i,ure as that.
I'm addition to this item we found an
unauthorized item of $50 charged up

months OF the coinpany's existence.
