MURDERED ALL THREE.
MAINE FAMILY WIPED OUT AND
THEIR HOME BURNED

SHIRLEY, Me, May 1S.-The murders
which have startled the rural districts
of Maine the past few months are al
most overshadowed by a tragedy in this
town yesterday in which a family of
three was put out Of existence and fire
used to hide the crime. The victims
are:
]. Wesley Allen, a selectman, his wife
and fourteen-year-old daughter. The
charred bodies were found in the embers
of their house which stood on the stage
road leading from Monson to Moosehead
lake On every hand were evidences that
murder and even worse had been done.
The only clue to. the identity of the muir
derers is furnished by a man named
Johnson, who reported today that he
was held up this morning on the road
by four men, all being intoxicated, one
of whom answers the description of the
highwayman who held up the Willmant O
stage last week The greatest excite
ment prevails in the community, and
arms and ammunition have been pro-
cured by farmers who fear visit from
the murderers.
Charles Tibbetts while driving the
stage road with his children to the vii
lage school saw the ruins of the Allen
farmhouse and searched the embers
finding the bones of body. He gathered
the nearest neighbors and the ruins Were
searched and the bones of three per-
sons were found. At one place near the
barn cellar there was blood and locks
OF Mr.. Aliens gray hair.

GO OUT
DEMAND IS FOR NINE HOURS
Employers Have Until May 20 to
Meet the Wishes of the Men
President O'COnneII Is
Confident.

WASHINGTON, May 13-In view of
the movement initiated by the Interna.
t1onal Association of Machfnists for the
establishment of a nine-houT day May
20, President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, called conference
OF the organizations interested in the
machinery trades of the country. the

Patternmakers' League of North Amer
lea, and Mr.. E. j. Lynch, of the Metal

STATEMENT BY WILSON.
NEW YORK, May 13.-Secretary Will
son, of District Is of the National Asso-
citation Of Machinists, was interviewed
today concerning the order sent out Sat
urday by National President James
O'Connell, at Washington, calling
strike of all machinists throughout the
country on Monday next unless all en-
ployers signed the agreement for work
ing day of nine hours and an increase Of
12k per cent in wages
There is little doubt In my mind"
Secretary Wilson said, that the strike
will actually take place, but the en-
ployers have until Saturday next to come
to our terms That is the last working
day before the late set for the order to
go INTO effect
1.-THE machinists alone who will be
called out will number 10000, but all
trades depending upon the machinists for
their tools will be brought to a stand
still
IAN erroneous opinion prevails that this
strike VIII mean the practical stoppage
of all work on public buildings and great
contracts like the rapid transit sub
way. 1t will do nothing of the kind.
In this section about 10000 of our men
will be affected, the district of course
taking in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jer-
sey City. That, however, does not in
clude half the number Of machinists en-
ployed here
