WAGE SCALE WILL BE CON-
SlDERED.

Carpenters union No. 9S held a
special meeting last night. The
meeting was called to consider a
request made by some local con.
tractors that wages be reduced
Only few contractors made the
request, the largest contractors in
the city refusing to sign. 1t was
decided by a unanimous vote that
there could not be a reduction in
wages. The scale of the carpen'
ters' union is a part of the cOnsti
tuition and it is necessary that any
change contemplated be made in
writing. submitted to the union and
laid over for one week. This action
had not been taken.
1t was decided to appoint a com.
mittee to investigate the reports
that the cost of lumber and living
expenses were being reduced. 1t
is admitted that these reports had
not been confirmed by actual ex
perience, and the union wanted
some figures on the matter.
1t was claimed by the contrac
tors that if the union would cut
wages it would have a tendency tC
start up building operations at an
early date and that conditions war
ranted a reduction. The commit
tee will investigate and report back
to the union.
The union refused to endorse any
candidates for school trustees
leaving members to use their owr
judgment in selecting men for the
Office.

Ell PASO, Tex, Dec. IA moth

Their sentences were yesterday
committed to Imprisonment for 20

is at present detached as ambas-
sador to the United States, and to
him Mrs. Annie l.. Harle, mother

were arrested five years ago,
charged with having murdered Jas.
Devers, an FL Paso miner, and
Charles Mitchell, supposed to have
been a brother of one of the pris-
oners, that they might collect the
insurance upon their lives.
Hurlburt was then agent for the
New York Life Insurance Co. in
Chihuahua, and DR.. Harle was the
examining physician. Devers was
picked up in Ell Paso and decoyed
into Mexico. Mitchell, a consump-
tive, was induced to come on from
New York for his health. Both
died suddenly.
The similarity of the cases
aroused suspicion, and the life in
surance company set detective to
investigate. He proposed to HUI
bert and Harle that he take out a
policy, simulate death, and that a
body be substituted for his own
The trio met him here to perfect
the plans.
The detective heard them plot
ting to kill him. and arrested them
forthwith. Harle confessed the
whole affair, and poison was found
in the stomachs of the exhumed
bodies later. The men were speed
lily convicted in the Chihuahua
courts. After five years of legal
fighting the Mexican supreme
court recently affirmed the death
sentences.
The men were to have been
hanged Yesterday.
