FIVE AMERICAN
 PRISONERS KILLED
DETAILS oFMpRDER OF FILIPINO NATIVES GIVEN IN coURTMAR- THAI PROCEEDINGS RECEIVED IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, December 24-The war de- partment has received from the Philip pines the records of court martials by which three natives were tried for impli- cation in the murder of five American soldier prisoners. One of the Filipinos was Timoteo Dahlan, a commandante or the insurgent forces, who ordered Manuel Gonzales. a lieutenant of insurgents, to kill the Presidente of the Puebla of San Miguel de Mayumo, province of Bulacan. Gonzales in command of band of insur- gents successfully ambushed detach- ment of the Thrty-fifth volunteer infan- try taking five of the American soldiers prisoners. The Americans had been act ing as a guard for the Presidente of Mig uel de Mayumo, and he, too, passed into the hands of the insurgents.
 The Americans captured and afterwards killed were privates Johns T. Hickman, Company B; Wm. A. Smith, Company c; Hamlet Jarvis, Company c; Elmer Dane, Company E, and Frank H. Wilson Com pany F. The Presidente was stabbed. The Americans were placed In charge of a sergeant taken away and killed with bolos There was an attempt on the part of each of the three Filipinos to shift the responsibility for the crimes at the trial It was developed that Comman- dante Dahlan in ordering the ambuscade. gave the following directions to Lieuten- ant Gonzales:
 Separate Jose Buencamino the Presi- dente) from the Americans and with these Americans do as if you were to take them to the General; but when you reach the tall grass, do with them what we are accustomed to do."
 He finished the directions for the mur- ders with these words:
 You will receive five pesos for the sol- diers. God keep your life many years"
 In passing upon the findings in the case of the insurgent commandant Gen. eral Chaffee said:
 His open appeal to the base instincts of his soldiers by promising reward for the execution of his inhuman command, aggravates his offense and marks the accused as one so lost to the better in stincts of his race as to preclude any ap- peal to clemency."
 In Dahlan's case and that of Gonzales, General Chaffee approved the sentence of de ath by hanging imposed by the mill itary commission. In that of Clemente de Lacruz. the sergeant, who personally di- rected the murder of the prisoners. he commuted the death sentence to impris- onment for life at hard labor.

Pittsburg, Pa, December 24.-The car shortage in the Pittsburg district Is worse than ever before and as a result many mills are shut down or only in partial operation. Many of the mills along the Allegheny Valley road, including the Car negie City Min, have suspended, and it Is probable that the big Carnegie Cam pany plants at Homestead and Duquesne will be unable to resume for a week or more after the Christmas holiday shut down.
 President Schwab during his recent wis., 1t here. said ss.OoooOO worth of finished product was piled up in the yards of these two concerns with no present pros- pect of removal.
 Practically all of the furnaces in Ma honing and Shenango Valleys are shut down because of inability to get raw material.

Brother of Edna Wallace, the Actress, ReIinquishes Claim
 To Fortune MOTHER MADE QUEER WILL She Left $5o,0oo to Son, But # Is Noi to Be Paid Until He Is
 Forty-fIve Years
 of Age.

Chicago, December 24. - Thomas Wal lace. the only brother of Edna Wallace. the actress. and a joint heir with her to a fortune of over s2OO.0OO. today relin- qushed his claim to the estate for $500 cash and promise of s10O a month dur ing his life. The negotiations were car ried on secretly at the Auditorium Annex. and as soon as the agreement was signed Edna Wallace. with her attorney, re- turned to New York just twenty-four hours after they arrived in Chicago.
 Thomas Wallace has lived in Chicago for years and is engaged in the saloon business. Mrs. Wallace. the mother, after being a widow for many years, married A. L. Dunzmeir. a wealthy Californian, the marriage taking place after Edna Wallace was devorced from DeWolf Hopper. A few weeks afterward Mir. Dunzmeir left his widow the entire es- tate
 Soon after Edna Wallace announced that she would never marry again as long as her mother was living, and while she was preparing for a visit to her she received word of her mothers death. When the will was probated 1t was found that Mrs. Dunzmeir had left the bulk of her fortune to her daughter and $50,0 900 to her son, to be paid to him when he reached the age of 45 years. Since the death of his mother Thomas Wallace has frequently appealed to his sister for as- sistance. Feeling that some kind of an agreement should be made with her brother the actress came to Chicago &C., companied by her attorney. a member of the legal firm of Howe and Hummel, and her maid. The party arrived at the An nex and transacted the whole affair in less than twenty-four hours.

Officials of Big Roads Meet and Discuss WageConditions
AL AGREE ON AN INCREASE
Declare More Pay Will Bring More Efficient Work-Final Action, However, Is Deferred to
 the Future.

Chicago. December M.-At a special meeting of the General Managers Asso- citation held here today, a movement was started which may result in a general increase in the wages of trainmen, en- elnemen. firemen and switchmen on all big railroad systems east of Chicago
 The meeting was called at the request of the Pennsylvania company, the cause being the coal shortage in Chicago and other cities, shortage of cars and power and the congested condition of traffic In general. The coal situation, however was the moving cause for the meeting, and a discussion regarding 1t lead to canvass of the entire situation.
 In the opinion of a majority of the general managers the general congestion is due in a measure to inefficiency of the service rendered by employees, and this view led into a discussion of the labor and wage situation from a railroad stand point.
 Although no formal resolution was pass ed upon the subject. 1t was generally agreed that to increase wages Of em- ployes would do much toward stimulating them to DelleT WOTh, WnlCl III buA IT "oNie help to relieve congested conditions as well as to prevent them.
 Attention was called to the fact that wages of operating employees of railroads are from ten to twelve per cent higher, taking the average as a whole, west of Chicago than they are east.
 The inequality Is due to conditions in the early days of railroading when 1t cost great deal more to live in the west than 1t did in the east and when railroad ing west of Chicago meant taking big chances.
 The general managers of Chicago are of the opinion that now is the time to make a concerted action to even up wages all over the country. Holding this view of the situation. an effort will be made. 1t is said, to induce the arrangements of the eastern lines to grant such increase in wages as will bring them on parity with the wages paid in the west.
