METAL WORKERS SESSION.
Morning Devoted to Examination of
Credentials

The second session of the thirteenth con-
vention of the Amalgamated Sheet Metal
Workers international Alliance was held
this forenoon in Typographical Temple.
There a full attendance of delegates,
and the time of the session was largely oc-
cupied by the committee on credentials,
which made a report placing the conven-
ton in working order.
An explanation was made concerning the
badge and button controversy which occur
red at yesterdays session. 1t was stated
that Delegate Redden of Chicago who
claimed that the insignia provided by the
local entertainment committee was nom
union in its character had been misinforn-
ed to the true conditions. 1t was his
belief, when he made the remarks reflect
ing on the badge and button, that they had
been provided by the general executive COM
mittee of the international body.
When Mr.. Redden learned that the Wash
ington committee had furnished the badges
and buttons gratis and a compliment
to the international body, and that they
had been procured from recognized union
establishment, he retracted his remarks
and made the amende honorable.
A member of local No. 1O2 of this city
explained that while the badges and but
tons had been furnished by union estab-
lishment. Delegate Redden had been mis-
led by the absence of the union label on
the insignia. In his home city of Chicago
the labor organizations strict as re-
CARDS the union label it is said, and insist
that 1t shall be placed on all commodities
and decorations whatsoever
The incident then happily closed and
local 102 congratulated on its earnest eff
forts to entertain the representative men of
its widespread craft
1t is expected that the matter of the affil-
iatfon of the copper metal workers with this
organiza ton will be taken up tomorrow
Another session of the convention was
held this afternoon beginning at = o'clock

LOVING'S SUCCESSOR.
Question Under Discussion at the Dis
trict Building

Already there is much discussion in the
District building concerning the promo
lions which are in order to fill the vacancy
In the auditors office caused by the death
of Franck II. Loving The plans to be pur
sued by the Commissioners in filing the
place are well matured, but the man for the
situation has not been designated
Commissioner Macfarland this morning
referred the matter to Louis Wilson, secre-
tary to Commissioner West. with the
quest that Mr.. Wilson inform Commits
sioner West, who is in Atlantic City on his
vacation, of the circumstances, and to ask
him to recommend changes in the auditors
office which he deems best. At first II was
limited that the place might be flied by the
transfer of another clerk in the same grade
as the late Mr.. Loving, to the Iatter's desk.
but 1t is believed that this plan never
seriously considered.
AS matters stood this morning either one
of two lines of action Were considered in
the field of possibility. One of these con-
templates general advance all along the
line in the auditors Office, that is, the pro-
motion of one of the 81 400 clerks to the
late Mr.. Lovings $1,000 position; the pro-
motion of $1,000 man to the S1.4DO place;
the promotion of a 81 600 clerk to 81 100; a
similar advance for Theodore l.. Moody, at
present 5000 clerk, and the appointment
of man from the eligible list to the last
vacancy.
The other possibility contemplates the
jumping of one of the 81 300 clerks, who has
had longer experience in the auditors
office than any of his fellows. to the vacant
81 600 place, with other promotions down
the line. as already stated. Commissioner
Vests desires will probably be known to-
morrow afternoon.
The death of Franck H. Loving will make
a difference of $500 In the estimates OF Au-
Gitor Garrison for the conduct Of his office

promotion was due to Mr.. Loving on ac-
count of long and meritoriOus service.

PLENTY OF PURE WATER
Plan to Furnish the Citizens of Wash.
ington

new scheme Is foot for FURNISHING
pure water TO all citizens of the District ~
Columbia. The plan had its origin in She
brain of d. f. Copp, resident of Wood
stock. Va. and was communicated by him
to the District Commissioners in a Letter
received this morning. Whether the wri.er
was inspired by a desire to offer a safe an
sure check to the prevailing typhoid fever
epidemic is not stated nor is the item
OF expense incident to laying a pipe line
given consideration. Mr. Cops letter viii
be acknowledged. but in the District engi-
neering department 1t was stated as likely
that the government, having expended sew
eral millions of dollars on a filtra ton plant
with the latter almost ready to go into
service, would probably prefer not to Sc
riously consider the Virginian's plan. Mr..
Cops letter, which explains his scheme in
detail, follows:
Il have a plan to furnish the city of
Washington with better water than she ca n
get from the Potomac, costing less money
by far than the present plan. The water
is also more available.
Il have located in the Valley of Virginia.
above Washington. a number of fine springs
of pure mountain free-stone water. also
mineral waters of various capacities; in
tact, the supply is unlimited. This water
can be piped into large main leading into
the city by pipes coming from the springs
along route OF the principal MAN, SUI
ficient number of branch pipes can be run
from these springs to fill any size main.
And elevation can be gotten to give it
all the pressure desired. so as TO put The
water high enough for any place in the
city.
Il can find out the cost OF running these
springs into the large main and get an
option them for you.
by running large main up the valley
Washington can get all the pure water
necessary without using a filter or putting
II through a purifying process.
II hope you will give this plan your con-
sideration and let me hear from you.
Yours very truly.

MURDER In FIRST DEGREE.
Charge Brought Against Four Benning.
ton Men.

bennington, May 27.--Johnson Won
derland, Edward Sweet, James W. KEEL
ley, and Fred Debell, all of Bennington,
who have been held as suspects in the
case of Fred Bartlett, murdered April
30, at North bennington, was brought
before Judge e. i. Bates Yesterday,
charged with murder in the first degree.
They pleaded not guilty, waived ex-
animation, and were held without bail
for the grand jury, which meets at
Manchester week after next.
The evidence tends to show that four
young men were the last persons seen
with Bartlett, and that they left his
dead body in front of the bank at North
Bennington. The autopsy ana exarnina-
tions at the state laboratory showed
that death was due to a blow on the
head. States Attorney W. r. Daley
appeared for the state, o. M. Barber
for Wonderland, and G. A. Maurcr for
the other three BOYS.
Frank Green and Ralph Clark, Of
North Bennington, were held es Witness
es, but probably will be released.

BULLET
IN HEAD.
Jealous Woman Takes Her
Own Life.
DEAD SINCE TUESDAY
Jennie Lewis Found Dead in Apartment
and Is Believed to Have Taken Her
Life, but Case Is Involved
in Mystery.
DEAD SINCE TUESDAY

Boston, May p. Because of jealousy
and the feeling that her lover had de-
serted her for another, Miss Jennie
Lewis, 20 years OF age, committed sui
eide in her sleeping room at % Village
street, South end, some time since last
Tuesday evening. No one heard the fa-
tai shot, and, until yesterday morning,
the body lay where it fell, partially
dressed, with one hand tightly grasping
the revolver with which the deed was
committed.
The body was discovered by Emmett
LarSin, known at the house as Jack
Lewis, who returned from what he said
was business trip. He reported the find
ing at once to Capt. 0'Lalor Of station
), and was held as witness until the
medical examiner had disposed Of the
case.
The investigation by the police devel
oped the fact that it was undoubtedly a
case of suicide, and that there was no
foul play connected with it. The wo-
man evidently fred the shot through
her mouth while in fit of dependency,
and the Jagged hole in the back of her
head was caused BY the passing out Of
the bullet. DIR. McQueeney, the police
surgeon, was satisfied that the wound
was seif-inflieted.
The causes leading up to the act Of
elf-destruction were Jealousy and des-
pondency.
1t transpired that Miss Lewis had
come to the house % Village street, on
April 10, accompanied by man, who
gave the name of Jack Lewis. They
claimed to be man and wife, and hired
c suite. Lewis, it turns out, was Lar
kin. Some tire after another woman
came 70 board with the couple, and
peace no longer reigned in the apart
ment.
The women frequently quarrelIed, and
the neighbors were frequent listeners
to the wordy warfare which was in
duced by the jealousy of one for the
other Jennie Lewis objected to the at Il
tentions paid by the man to the other
woman and continually charged her
with taking to herself the affections
which did not belong to her.
Matters came To head last Tuesday
when Lewis or Larkin left the house.
They did not 60 together, but it seems
that Mrs. Lewis felt he had gone with
her rival Her dependency was plainly
manifest, and it ii supposed that on
Tuesday night she determined upon
shooting herself.
She was seen at the house Tuesday
evening by the ianitor, who was appar.
enty the only person at the house to

WEAVER IN LEAD.
Philadelphia Mayor Controls Situation
Up to Present.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 25.--It is the
general opinion that Mayor Weaver, for
the present, controls the situation in
his fight with the Republican leaders
over the proposed lease Of the city gas
works. Developments yesterday were
expected to come from the .organiza
ton
Insurance Commissioner Durham and
his lieutenants were in conference yes
terday at Mr.. Durham's Office. Later
he visited United States Senator PEN
rose, and was in consultation with him
for some time. There is no longer any
denial that impeachment proceedings
against the mayor have been seriously
considered by the leaders and their
legal advisers Those who advise against
this step argue that any attempt to inn
peach Mayor Weaver now would only
strengthen his position with the public.
just now the attitude OF the members
Of the councils Is giving the leaders al
most as much concern as any other fea-
ture Of their contest with the mayor.
Both sides are preparing for next
Thursdays meeting of councils, when,
unless something intervenes, the mayor
will forward his veto of the new gas
works lease ordinance to both branches.

LABOR MATTERS.
With the Workers at Home and
Abroad.

In Barre, with the exception Of the
plumbing fraternity, it may be said
that comparative peace reigns between
employer and employee. The example
set by the leading union and the Gran
| tie Manufacturers association in using
common sense methods of settling dis
putes undoubtedly helps considerably in
smoothing over petty troubles between
other sections OF workers and employing
organizations. They tell me the quar-
Try workers and employers are working
up their new agreement in the regular
approved Barre style and If someone
would only take hold of the plumbers
and the employers in that line and give
them good shaking up and set them
about coming to an agreement we would
then be in a position to devote the
whole Of our energies to

where, it seems, they need advice badly.

enormous and yet if the workmen think
of demanding any improvement they
are fought as bitterly as If the corpora

do get an increase of one cent charges

example Of this through the management

Some two years ago the conductors

around and raised fares just one hum

during the two years this company has
been extracting double fares from the
