Present indications promise de-
moralization of rates on account of the

Already there is split among the

cent per mile.
While the differential roads east of

DUNN WILL CHOOSE
Will Name Three Members of
State Central Committee

Republican politicians are speculat-
ing as to the result of the conference
between Senator Moses E. Clapp and
the candidates on the Republican state
ticket, scheduled for Thursday morn
ing at the Merchants hotel. 1t is con-
ceded that the conference will de-
termine the personnel of the RepuL-
lican state central committee, and in
the makeup of the committee several
political futures are involved.
Those closest to the situation are
guarded in their statements, but 1t is
said with considerable show of author
ity that r. c. Dunn, the candidate of
the party for governor and the one
most vitality interested in the new COM
for chairman. One of Dunn's closest
political friends said yesterday:
Mr.. Dunn stands for Condo Hamlin
for chairman, for Jim Peterson, Of
Minneapolis, for a member of the COM
mittee and for John F. Selb, of ST.
Paul. for secretary of the committee.
fDunn insists that his preference be
three directions, but further than these
he is content to take his chances with
the men whom the junior senator will
name.''
There is very little interest being
shown by the other candidates on the
state ticket as to the central commit
tee, though each candidate has a
friend or two that he wants placed.
It is said that Senator Ripley B.
Brewer, of ST. Cloud, will be named
for the Seventh judicial district. While
the floor leader for the Collins candi-
dacy in the convention, Brewer will be
asked for by Peter E. Hanson, secre-
tary of state. He is from the same
district as Mr.. Hanson, and is related
to him as well.
Senator Clapp has given no intima-
ton to the public of his intentions
with respect to the important places on
the state committee, but his friends say
that he is thinking pretty hard.

BEES CREATE COMMOTON
AT HAWTHORNE SCHOOL
Principal Refuses to Iiberate Her
Pupils Until Health Officials Drive
Busy Insects From Yard

Quite commotion was caused yes
terday in the Hawthorne School on
Shotwell street, between Twenty
second and Twenty-third, by the ap-
pearance of a swarm of bees in the
schoolyard. Mrs. S. ]. Mann, prin-
cipal of the school, Immediately noti-
fed the Health Department, which
ascertained that the bees came from
seventeen hives kept by Philip Prior,
who lives in a house adjoining the
Burnett School, of which he Is prin-
cipal. Mrs. Mann reported that she
would not allow the pupils to go out
of the building until the bees had been
driven away.
Disinfectors Mcguire and Kane were
then sent to the school and with the
aid of sulphur fumes and the beating
of tin cans the bees were finally driven
to their hives and the pupils liberated.
The Health Board proposes to con-
denim Prior's bees as a nuisance and
he will be ordered to HE himself else

send them away on long journey,

UNION DEMANDS
UNDER DEBATE
Conferences Continue Be-
tween the Garments Union
and the United Railroads
EACH SIDE STANDS PAT
Strong Feeling Prevails
Among the Men in Favor
of Maintaining Harmony

Yesterday was a day of conferences
between the officials of the United
Railroads and those of the Carmens S
Union. Several hours were spent by
President Cornelius and Secretary
Bowling of the latter organization at
the offices of the company in the morn
ing, and they put in much of the after
noon at the same place in consulta-
tion with General Manager Chapman
and other railway representatives. :.
The two sides to the controversy pro-
fess that they are trying to establish
permanent harmony between the COM
pany and it's employees. But thus far
neither the union nor the company has
indicated willingness to concede any
thing from the extreme position taken
by 1t at the beginning of the contest.
The temporary agreement of the COM
pany to break in no more Students
or new men, until the demands Of the
union shall have been fully considered
was a slight concession in the interest
of peace for the time being and was
so understood by the men, although
many of them profess to see in it an
indication that the company'is disposed
to policy of concession rather than to
risk a strike Others, however, declare
that new men are being brought here
in large numbers by the company and
are kept in waiting for the emergency
should the union refuse to accept the
terms of the employing corporation.
The demands of the employees were
taken up in detail for the first time
yesterday, but neither Manager Chap
man nor President Cornelius had any
thing to say last evening as to the
particular matters discussed. That no
decision or agreement upon any point
was reached was admitted. The con-
ference will be resumed this morning
and is likely to continue for several
days.
Many Of the men on the cars yes
terday expressed a feeling of hopeful
ness that a strike would be avoided.

tailor shop, where she worked two or
three days a week. Mrs. Wheland
continued:
Carfagni was very much in love
with the German woman, who was
young and good looking, but she re-
fused his advances and beyond going
out with him once or twice to the
park 1 don't think she ever had any,
thing to do with him, except in the
work of the tailor shop. She was a
good woman, very much devoted to
her little boy, and saved everything
she could earn. She had roomed in
my house for more than a year and
never have known a woman I respect
ed more highly. Her husband was a
drunkard, hence she left him two
years ago. One of her brothers, John
Miller, lives in Point Richmond: two
others are in ST. Louis"
In the building at 536 Kearny street
tenants of the law offices adjoining
the tailor shop said yesterday that
they had repeatedly heard Carfagni
and his assistant Quarreling loudly,
but they knew nothing of the cause of
the alterations. The Italian tailor is
said to have been a man of violent
temper and many eccentricities,
among which his acquaintances num-
bered his frequent threats to end his
own life. His elder brother, Pietro
Carfagni. is a tailor at 626 Montgom-
cry street. Both brothers held high
rank in the Italian Masonic lodges of
the city.
Carfagni was about s5 years old.

His victim had reached her twenty
eighth year. Che had the sum of
800 so in her pockets when shot and
the tailor had with him the smaller
sum of s22 20. Friends of Mrs. Wei
mer said the thrifty woman was in the
habit of carrying her savings thus
upon her person.
Detectives Taylor and Colnan last
evening found a letter at Carfagni's
lodgings that showed he had planned
the murder of Mrs. Weimer as early
as January last. At that time he saw
her on the street one day in company
with one Peter Mighels, and forthwith
composed long and desperate epistle
in Italian setting forth his woes. The
woman was charged with having ac-
cepted dress from her employer and
then breaking her promise to keep
company with him. IF you are going
with some one else" the letter con-
unues, Il want you to pay for the
dress. The rest of the letter is an ac-
count of the writer's sufferings, men
tai and physical, on account of the
faithless treatment of which he deemed
himself the victim.
Urban Husson, the dead mans land
lord, told the police that his tenant
had been despondent for more than a
month, and that the revolver with
which the shooting was done had been
purchased a month ago at RafaePs
pawnshop on Kearny street. Carfag-
Mrs threats had been so numerous
that those who heard them finally
came to believe them meaningless.

Murder and suicide were commit
ted yesterday by Luigi Carfagni, an
Italian tailor, at his shop, room Z.
5s6 Kearny street. After shooting
Mrs. Mary Weimer, his assistant.
through the forehead, he turned his
revolver to his temple and fired
fatal shot. Carfagni died instantly,
but his victim lived long enough,
though in an unconscious condition,
to be taken to the Central Emergency
Hospital, where she expired shortly
after her arrival The tailor had long
been importuning Mrs. Weimer to
marry him. This, however, was i'm
possible, she having husband living,
as Carfagni knew. 1t is not improba-'
bic that the young woman died in de-
fense of her honor.
1t was just l o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon that Police Captain Duke,
riding down Kearny street on a car,
heard two shots fired in quick sue
cession. When he located the source
Of the sound he found the door of
AgaIIdBIl SnOD lOthtd Ol1 NAAC
and was obliged to enter by climbing
over the transom. Within the small
room lay the woman, face down, with
her arms spread out, in pool of
blood The corpse of her murderer
was lying face upward, the head rest
ing on the back of his victim. The
revolver with which the double crime
had been committed was lying on the
floor near Carfagni's hand. Appar-
entity he had died instantly and the
police at first believed that the woman
vas dead, too, until a closer examina-
ton revealed the fact that she still
breathed. Then an ambulance was
called and she was removed to the
hospital. where medical treatment
failed to save her fast-ebbing life. She
spoke no word.
For several hours the police were
at a loss as to the identity of the muir
dered woman, as no papers in her
pockets disclosed her name. At last,
however, her little son, Harold, four
years old, came down town in COM
pany with a neighbor's child to visit
the tailor shop and spend the after
noon with his mother. Then ii was
discovered that the dead tailoress was
Mrs. weimer and that she had roomed
with her child in the house of Mrs.
Harry Wheland at T1SA Union street.
Inquiry at that address ELECTED from
Mrs. Wheland the information that
her tenant had been a woman of ex-
cellent character and industrious hab-
its, who supported herself and her
son by needlework. sometimes in fam
lily sewing and latterly in Carfagni's
