Each of the delegates described the conditions in his shop and the alleged necessity for the char ges asked.
 The r1en stated that the conference was entirely unsatisfactory and that MT. Cannon had refused to consider any of their propositions. Mir. Cannon said that the deurand involved over 25 per cent. increase in pay for maehin- ists and all other shop employees, which was beyond reason. He said 50 per cent. of the machinists on the system did not contemplate an ultimatun, and that he did not look for a general strike. The nen will report back to their lodges the reply given.

 Insurance Companies.

Chicago, May 27.-At the conclusion of todays proceedings in the trial wherein pr. August Unger, Francis Brown and Frank H. Smiley figure as defendants upon the charge of conspiracy to defraud certain life insurance companies and fra ternal societies. Assistant Attorney Olsen, who has charge of the prosecution, said:
 ''The evidence of murder is stronger in this case than that upon which many a man has been hanged right here in the county jail"
 Thh grand jury may be asked to indict some of the defendants for murder be- fore the present trial is ended. The fea- ture today was the testimony of Herbert Lyeter, a messenger boy, who took an envelope from pr. Umger to Miss Defen- bach a few days before she died. It is contended by the prosecution that the envelope contained drugs which caused Miss Defenbach's death.

Lincoln, Geb, May 27.-W. J. Bryan to- day gave out . statement on the resigra- tons of Senators McLaurin ana Tilnaan which, he says, he regards ss the po- lftioar event of the last week. MT. Bryan !says: Ut is an honorable course for the lSenators to pursue and beneficial to the State. At present South Carolina yirtu- ally has no voice-in the settlement of pub lie questions, as the vote of one Senator kills the vote of the other. Senator Till man has just been reelected and thus risks the loss of longer terfny but Sen. stof McLaurin really sacrifices more be- cause he has less chance to win i'll the krimary." "'' 1F, Mir. Bryan added that it was hardly pected to see Senator Tillman win a sweeping victory.
 "Beeauss he represents the man, while Senator McLaurin represents the dollar. The vute will shoY whether the pluto cratic idea is making any hsadwHy in the South."

Greene. It was surmised that perhaps
the "Sheely Moran" was a mistake ana
that James Shelly was in reality the
victim. Communication with the war
department was taken up at once by
tanning that the man Moran was not
his son.
The letter received Wednesday by
Mr.. Shelly is the first word learned from
his son. the delay in writing having
been caused by the young mans illness
in the Iloilo hospital.
He had been suffering severe attack
|of the Philippine dysentery. which Is
so prevalent among the United States
soldiers, but at the time of writing he
was much improved and regaining
strength rapidly. Young Shelly writes
that his company sailed from 1loilo on
the day ne wrote, and he would follow
on the next boat. expecting to be strong
enough to stand the journey by that
time.
The letter is source of great graft
fication to the young mans parents.
and it relieves the terrible suspense
that they have ben under and gives
them the authentic information that
their son was alive on August 10. at any
rate. Altho Mr.. and Mrs. Shelly have
not been worrying SO much since the
war department dispatch informed
them that it was not their son who was
killed, they have been quite anxious
concerning him, and especially so
when no word of any kind was received,
altho anxiously awaited daily.

Crazy Member Of the Soldiers Homo
Causes Search for Daughter.

Causes Search for Daughter.
"A veteran Of the Soldiers Home. who
ii believed to be insane, has caused an
unnecessary search to be Instituted for
his daughter, whom he said went in
sane while on visit to him and made,
her escape into the country. The vet
eran's name is e. ]. Bartlett, and Tues
day he reported to members OF the in
stituticn that his daughter, q handsome
young school teacher. had come here
from Michigan to visit him, that afte.
her arrival che became insane and ran
away. He said that on Tuesday after
noon he found her two miles north Of
the city wandering about the country,
that he took her home and locked her
up, but that during the night she made
her escape and could not be found.
Wednesday he reported the matter to
the city officials and at once organized
a searching party. He described his
daughter as tall and handsome and
finely educated, and that her mother
was en- route from Michigan to take her
back home.
Inquiry from the officials of the Sol
Idiers' Home develops the fact that
Bartlett is the person that is insane,
and not his daughter. The young wom-
an has not been in MaraaIltown at all,
and Mrs. Bartlett was a few days ago
at her home and had no Intention Of
coming to Marshalltown. Commandant
Horton Gays Bartlett is making him SO
much trouble at the institution that he
will have him brought before the in
sanity commission with view of hay
ing him sent to the asylum.
