UNION LABOR INSURANCE.
Scheme Now Under Investigation B.
 The TeIegraphers.

Cincinnati, O., May s.-That a move ment is under way for the organization of life insurance company for the benefit of union labor developed during the discussion of the subject of insu- rance in the convention of the Com mercial Photographers Union of America here today.
 The matter Is still under investiga- ton and 1t has been left to the tele- graphers to look into the matter thor oughly and later report to President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. 1t was asserted during the discussion that the old companies were fast losing the confidence of the public, the revelations of recent inves- tigations having turned away many who had been firm supporters of the old companies.
 It was announced that all members of the labor unions iz America would soon be asked to VI hdraw from the old companies and to give their mon- ey and support exclusively to amalga- mate all the union insurance moneys into one huge fund securing protec- tion for all. The subject has already been presented to a number of other labor organizations and favorably con- sidered by them.

BELIEVED sPTtsR KILLED SELF. Police Think Roeers's Confidential Man
 Committed Suicide.


 New York, May s.-Poiice onfcials who have been Investigating the mys- terious death of Charles L. Spier, con fidenttal agent of H. H. Rogers, who was found In his home In staten is- land yesterday, reported today that the evidence indicated that spier had committed suicide. Mrs. Spier had tn- formed the police that he had left his bed chamber to go to tho dining room in search of a burglar and that she afterward heard shots.
 Except that the furnish ings of the dining room in which the body was found were disarranged, the police say there was nothing about the house to indicate the presence of a burglar. One door was found unlocked but without signs of having been forced and an active bull dog which accompanied Mir Spier to the dining room took no part in the reported duel with the burglar if there was one.
 On the other hand the police have ascertained that one month before his death of MT Spier had insured his life for $75000 and had been obliged to dis count a note of Sl,35T to pay tho pre- mium on one of the policies when 1t became payable last Saturday. The policies were payable regardless of the cause of death and the beneficiary had been changed from Mrs. Spier to a trustee of his estate
 The police have discovered also that q judgment in bankruptcy for $5O,S70 had been outstanding against MT. Spier and others since February last. These judgments were entered after the Yetman Transmitting Typewriter Com pany. of which MT. Spier was president. went into bankruptcy.
 pr. H. w. Patterson, Mir Spier's fam fly physician who was one of the first to reach the Spier residence after the shooting, said today that he does not believe Mir. Spier committed suicide but thinks he was killed in a fight with burglar
 Coroner Mathew Cahill stated today he is positive the wound which caus- ed Spier's death could not have been inflicted by himself and that MT. Spier was undoubtedly murdered.

 Dr. Tigert said that the articles or discipline could not be changed with out the consent of every conference and he suggested that special com mittee be appointed to take the mat ter up and report back at some future time.
 S. H. Wainwright, of the Japan mission, said he was sorry that the conference could not make the change. He said some change in article 2S was needed and he hoped something would be done to remove the ground of mis- understanding in foreign countries
 J. L. Kennedy. of the Brazzil mission was perfectly willing for the matter to go to a special committee. He saw no reason why the conference could not change the phraseology of the articles without changing the articles them selves The matter was finally settled by the motion to go to a committee prevailing.
