Editor The Press: In your is
sue of Dec. | saw an article about
married men who let their wives
work in laundries while the men
are earning good wages. From
experience l can assure you that
this is a fact. Let me tell you
something about many of these
cases. Some of these women that
/ know are working there because
the men they call husbands are
spending their money in saloons
for their own pleasure, and if the
woman so situated does not work
she would have to do without
clothing and household necessities.
| have worked both in laundries
and in private houses and | prefer
the laundry. The pay is better and
the work no worse.
But the only way many married
women can be kept cut Of working
for wages in addition to attending
to their household duties is to

LABOR CONTRACTS ONE

The claim is made by members
of the printing trades that existing
employment contracts give the en-
ployers all the best of the bar

has been directed to existing con-
tracts on account of the action of
President Lynch in suspending
the charter of the Spokane Typo
graphical union and refusing mem
bers of the union their member
ship cards because they quit the
Spokesman-Review as individuals.
These cards, however, have recent

that body was notified of the act

was that nothing could be done and

Their domestic life was apparently
without a ripple of discord. At a
LaSalle av. apartment house,
where they lived, their neighb4ors
had never seen or heard anything
suggestive of trouble.
Yet Mrs. Delaney shot her hus-
band twice, killing him and then
placing the revolver barrel in her
mouth sent a bullet in her own
brain.
Occupants of other rooms heard
the shots, but supposed the sounds
came from the steam pipes and
paid no attention to them. The
tragedy was not discovered until
Friday afternoon, when the death
like stiffness in the rooms led the
servants to break down the door.
Delaney, stark and cold, was
stretched on the bed. His wife's
body, still warm, was on the floor,
her knees drawn up as though She
had shot herself while in the at
titude of prayer. The bottom of
the kimona she wore over her
nightgown was blood stained. Her
disheveled hair was soaked in
blood. The bedcl0thing was great
ly disarranged. The police theory
was that she had shot her husband
while he slept. Then she spent
hours in the room, much of the
time covering the body with
sheet to hide it from view and at
intervals turning aside the cover
let and kissing the face of her
husband. 1t was in this way the
police accounted for the blood in
her hair. The bullet that killed
Delaney was fired into the back or
his head, which with the pillow
were bathed in blood.
Mrs. Delaney was the daughter
of a Texas millionaire. In 1897 she
married Marcus Goodman at San
Jose, Cal, and she secured a di-
vorce in 1899. Then she married
Delaney
There was found in the room a
clipping from an article containing
these words: "WOrk is the bane
of civilization. Only barbarians en-
Joy life" On the bureau there was
found also this poem:
| I've sometimes thought it was your
eyes.
Sometimes your voice,
Babe my Indifferent heart arise
And make its choice.
I've counted over all your ways,
| My sweet-my mate,
| And wondered which the separate
| grace
That holds my fate.
Vain task-I love you, dearest one
For all you are.
The charm of heaven hangs no
Upon a single star.

STRIKERS LOSE IN
LOS ANGELES

The strike for an eight hour day
in Los Angeles in which the
pressmen engaged in II months
ago has been declared off. On ac-
count of the number of invalids
that arrive in Southern California
every year, many of whom have
to earn a living, it is difficult mat
ter for the unions to win by strik-
ing. Better wages are paid the
pressmen in Los Angeles than
in this city, the wages paid in the
California city comparing favor
ably with any city in the country.
This was a factor in defeating the
union.

passed between DR.. Brouwer and his wife
and through her inability to give nothing
more definite about DIR. Brouwer's treat
ment OF his wife than her own opinion. the
prosecution added little to its care through
her testimony.
The defence waived the right of cross
examination because. as one of the attorneys
put 1t afterward, they were afraid she would
volunteer evidence not demanded.
Trevonian Hyer, Benjamin +. Hyer and
Mrs. Mamie Hyer, all of the family of Mrs.
Brouwer, were called for the prosecution,
From the two brothers il was sought to
draw out that DR.. Brouwer had settled
some Of his debts out Of his wife's inheri-
tance. The fact that a $500 note, drawn on
Mrs. Brouwer's father, had been paid out
OF Mrs. Brouwer's estate when settlement
was made two years ago was emphasized
by the prosecution.
Benjamin Hyer told on direct examina-
ton OF a night he was spending in the
Brouwer home, when near midnight both the
doctor and his wife came running into his
room and Mrs. Brouwer said her husband
had struck her. On cToss-eNamination he
admitted that Brouwer angrily declared
at that time that his wife had been spank
ing the baby contrary to his orders and
he had seized the child To prevent further
punishment.
Diversion in to-day's court proceedings
was offered by Harry Brown, an under
takers assistant, vino wore his hair in a
cowlick and had on a dull black professional
necktie. Brown was called to support the
testimony given by DIR. Cattell in the open
ing day of the taking of testimony. to the
effect that while performing the autopsy
on the body OF Mrs. Brouwer he had washed
his hands in two buckets of water. When
asked how many buckets of water DIR.
Cattell had used to wash his hands in, the
witness replied, One or more"
But why did you tell me two out there
in the hall?" queried the angry prosecutor.
-One or more" repeated Mr.. Brown, with
the faithfulness Of a cuckoo clock.

PITTsBURG, Oct. IA reliable Pittsburg
newspaper to-day prints a two column
article. signed &C." written by n person
who has recently interviewed Mrs. William
Thaw, mother of Harry Kendall Thaw.
Mrs. Thaw is quoted as denying many OF
the stories tina nave been printed about
her son. Concerning the much exploited
beauty dinner" in Paris Mrs. Thaw says:
For this story there was no foundation
whatever, so far "a my son is concerned.
Such a dinner was given by a society in Paris.
the exact name of which cannot now recall;
but my son had nothing whatever to do
with il. On that night he was dining with
William T. Burden, Bradley Martin, Jr.,
Ernest Iselin and William Spencer.
The gist of that story was that s5O,O00
was expended for the dinner. which sum
would he nearly double Harry's annual
income. What Of the other 38i days Of that
year,"
A. to the character and life Of her son,
Mrs. Thaw said:
THE fact that such men as DR.. PattPn.
DIR BraShear and other men of brains and
standing in various professions find delight
in his society is Of itself sufficient To CON
~trovert all the lurid. lying Po,rtraitures which
sensational papers have been furnishing
for the morbid appetites Of those who know
and care nothing about him.
"Harry's time has not been wasted.
He has travelled much. and enjoyed the
friendship of some Of the best people in
the various capitals Of Europe. For my
self, / shall always look back with salts
faction on the year, when my son and his
wife lived with me at L~yndhurst.
&C." who signs the article, writes further:
Toward the close Of the interview
Mrs. Thaw spoke with feeling Of the hard
ships her son is forced TO endure all these
long months, and said that the very fact
of his bearing in an accomplishing way
all the delay ought in itself to appeal to
the prosecuting officers of the State to at
least give him az speedy a trial as any
BODY else, and not for some other motive,
or because the case had been much in the
papers, keep him incarcerated indefinitely.
aShe told about how Harry Thaw's wife
| suffered, how she. too, was practically a
prisoner going nowhere except to visit the
Tombs and then always shut up in a closed
vehicle.
For myself the mother said. I am
ready to endure, but these delays seem
unnecessary and cruelty hard on us ALL
