STRIKE MAY SPREAD.
Thousands of Building Laborers Out
in New York City with Pros
poets of More Following.

New York, March 19.-Twenty thou
sand bricklayers and laborers and
about 1000 iron workers are on strike
and unless settlement can be reached
the strike will probably spread until
100000 men are involved. The employ
ers, considering it improbable that any
settlement will be reached, are prepar-
ing for the strike which they think will
follow.
Members of other unions who will be
out of work because they cannot pro-
coed with building without the bricklay-
ers are said to be indignant that the
bricklayers should tie up the whole
building industry.
twenty-five hundred photographers
have struck rather than be locked out.
They quit work when they found that
they must sign the arbitration agree
ment or be discharged
The employers say that IS men have
already signed the agreement and are
ready to go to work, but the officers of
the union declare positively that only Ii
men have signed.

A WIFE MURDERER HANGED.
Louis II. Mott Pays Penalty of His
Crime at Missoula, Mont.-story
of the Shooting.

Missoula, Mont, March l9.-Louis
H. Mott, the wife murderer, was
hanged here Friday. He walked un-
assisted to the gallows. In a. brief
speech he said he believed his convic-
ton had been brought about through
dishonest methods, and concluded by
saying that he was willing to give life
for life.
The crime for. which Mott was
hanged was the shooting of his wife
on Sunday, January 4, 1903. For
months previous to the murder he had
been addicted to the use of liquor and
drugs, causing depressed mental con-
dition. While east on business trip
his wife sold his laundry business in
Missoula. He became greatly angered
on his return, brooding constantly over
his wife's act. On the day of the MUIR
der he became involved in a lengthy
quarrel with his wife, which was foi-
lowed by his shooting her four times
with revolver while she was fleeing
from the room. His wife fingered for
nine hours before death.
Mott went to the supreme court in
an effort to secure new trial, and
made two fruitless appeals to the gov
ernor for clemency. In the latter eff
forts he had the influence and financial
aid of his uncle, Lemoine Mott, a
wealthy miller Of Des Moines, Ia. who
came to Montana and made a personal
appeal to the governor. All of the
appeals were based on the fact that
he wished to escape the stain upon
his name for the sake of his children
solely.

becs Cleared.

Washington, March 19-Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General BristOW, in
testifying before the house special
committee on the post Office report
Thursday, claimed for himself respon-
sibility for only the first seven pages

ment. The clerk hire section, he said,
was prepared in the office of the first

1t cost the national government over
81 10000 to run the weather service last
year. And a great many citizens of this
great and glorious country are disposed
to question whether the sort of weather
We had during the winter was worth the
money. Still, there is another side to the
matter. Possibly without the signal serv-
ice it might have been worse. At any rate
it would not have been so easy to trace
