Wilkesbarre's Mayor Glad to Retire After
Twelve Years.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 25.-After
being mayor of this city for twelve years,
Francis NJ. Nichols made his farewell ad-
dress tonight TO the city council. and
said if he had the least desire to remain
in the office he would not resist being
taken to an insane asylum.
He declares that the appointive power
has made him, thousands of enemies, and
that he finds himself grossly deficient in
ability properly to exercise the power"
He declares his enemies are ever ready
to impugn the motives of his actions and
to malign him.
From this persecution and deeds of
devilishness," be added. my only deliver
ance is in returning to the humble and
obscure sphere in which 1 lived at the be-
ginning of my official life

Testator at the Time the Alleged

erty, was resumed before Justice Barn
ard and jury yesterday, in Probate

continued his cross.examination. The
first part of his testimony was directed
to the Identification of certain deeds of
trust which he had placed upon his
third interest in the part of the property
left in his grandmother's estate. He
was also Intercepted regarding what he
meant by his allegation that in addition
| to his sickness in 1893 he had been in
the throes of trouble of a personal ma
| ture.
Objected to by Counsel.
Upon the development that this was
directed at an endevor to bring out from
| the witness the fact that he had had
| domestic troubles with his first wife, cul-
| minating in divorce suit. vigorous OPP
position was entered by Messrs. Perry,
Lambert, and Baker. representing Mr..
| Utermehle. and long argument ensued
as to the question of the admissibility
of such evidence. 1t being contended by
counsel for the contestant that it could
not be admitted save upon the question
of credibility. and that matters of such
a private nature ought not to be enquired
into on cross-examination.
Jusfjca BARNARD finally a1Iouad ba
question to be answered, reserving his
ultimate decision upon the points in
volved. and the witness responded as to
some of the matters in connection with
this divorce proceeding, admitting the
fact that he had upon one occasion in the
company Of a private detective visited
an improper place.
Redirect Examination.
At the conclusion of the cross -exami-
nation. which has occupied nearly three
days, Mr.. Utermehle testified upon re-
direct examination that in addition to
able portion of the money which he
had received from the estate of his
grandmother. he had also made a set
Element in favor of his two children to
the extent of $40, 900.
The witness was entirely lf-compos-
ed, and at no time during the course of
the long examination. which ended lust
at the hour of adjournment, did he show
the slightest fatigue or irritation.
This morning witnesses will be placed
upon the stand, ii is understood, to tes-
tify touching the condition of Mr. Uter-
mehle at the time the alleged will was

BETTER ORGANIZATION
FOR LOCAL BUTCHERS
Need Discussed at Meeting of
Local Association.
Addressed by Homer D. Call, Internation-
al Secretary-How "Big Six" Has
Affected Wages.

public meeting of the local branch OF
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen was held last night in
Loehl Hall. Seventh and N Streets north
west, and plans DISCUSSED for the better
organization and protection Of local
butchers.
The feature of the meeting was the ad-
dress of Mr.. Homer ID. Call, of Syracuse,
n. Y, the general secretary of the inter-
national association. Mr.. Call strongly
advocated the building up of the local as
sociatior.or even recognizing it If neces-
sary. The only hope of the butchers pro-
tecting themselves he said, was by or
ganizing. He told OF the various condi-
tions which were forcing the butchers
into long hours and low wages. The in
dividual butchering trade that was for
merly prosperous all over the country
he said, has been driven out of existence
by the big six meaning the six enor-
nous Strengthening and packing establish
ments in the United States.
Wages of Butchers Affected.
Mr.. Call said that butchers were fire.

enteen hours day, until they had or
gained and unanimously agreed upon
shorter hours. But even at the present
time. he claimed, the average weekly
wages paid TO butchers in this country is
but 81 so instead of S35 or 1913, as was
the case before the big six" consumed
the bulk OF the trade.
These conditions will continue Mr. Call
predicted, unless the butchers can be
made TO see and recognize the Importance
OF joining their forces and exerting their
combined power against the evils. There
are now seven or eight thousand men in
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workers Association. and were
they to stand firm and declare for short
er hours and higher wages they would,

Echoed Mr.. Calls Sentiments.
Mr.. II. l.. Eichelberger. of this city, the
organizer of the local branch of the as
sociation, also delivered brief address,
in which he echoed the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mr.. Call. He dwelt with par
ticular emphasis upon the Importance of
building up a strong branch here in the
District. and expressed the belief thai
this would be accomplished in the near
future.

Absence-Notice of Meeting Signed
COMMITTEE"

A secret caucus of painters, represent
ing both factions of the warfare now 60
ing on, was held last night at the head
quarters of local painters. but the effort
to effect an agreement and reconciliation
failed.
More than 200 painters, belonging to
both the Brotherhood and the Knights of
Labor, were present. 1t was hoped that
the difficulties of long standing might be
settled satisfactorily. On the contrary, the
meeting adjourned without anything def
mite having been accomplished. The ut
most secrecy prevailed. none but painters
being admitted,
No Master Painters Present.
No master painters or their represent
atives were present, and the statement
was made that they would not have been
admitted TO the conference. 1t was a
meeting solely of the workingmen.
After the meeting the painters congre-
gated on the corner and discussed the
proceedings. Most of the men were of the
knights of Labor faction, the others
keeping to themselves.
They declined to discuss their affairs.
The notice Of the meeting was not signed
by any name-simply by Committee" No
names were allowed to figure in the affair.
