TBy Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.
Monte Carlo, Dec. AFTER a speedy
trial before the superior court of
Monaco, We're ST. Leger Gold and
his wife, Marie, were convicted today
of the murder of Emma Levine here
last summer. The court found that
Mrs. Gold was the chief i%nstigator of
the crime n sentenced her to death
by the guillotine. and hat Gold was
less responsible because under the in
fluence of liquor at the time the muir
der was committed n sentenced him
10 Imprisonment for life.
Great crowds which had gathered
within and without the building re-
ceived the announcement of the con
viction with great excitement and APP
plause for the rendering of the YER
diet by the court.
Statements as to the facts in the
case were at great variance. Gold
himself confessed that he committed
the murder and hat his wife had
nothing to do with it. The police did
not put much faith in his story and
as the case was presented to the court
his wife was shown to be the real
instigator.
The evidence went TO show that Le-
vine, who was possessed of consider
able jewelry and some money, had
been invited to visit the Colds, who
were in needy circumstances. There
she was murdered and a quantity Of
her money and jewelry was found in
h possession of Gold and his wife.
Her body was dismembered and pack
&c in a trunk and valise, which the
murderers We're trying to dispose Of
when the crime was discovered.

BRIDGE EXPERT
ON THE JOB

II. u. Wallace, head of the
Wallace-Coates Engineering Co. of
Chicago, reached the city early this
morning and held a consultation
with the board of public works. The
Coates company will oversee the
building of new bridge piers for ali
city bridges, whether they are done
by contract or by day labor. For
this work the company will receive
3 per cent of the cost or contract
price. This job will be done by day
labor on the authority of the old
council. 1t is doubted if the new
bridges for which the city was
bonded at the last election will be
built by day labor, Commissioner
O'Brien this morning stated that he
believed the job could be done as
cheaply by contract and he thought
that if the new administration IA
vored doing ii by contract the coun-
Gil should not stand in the way or
carrying out that policy.

COMPANY WILL ACCEPT UNION
FRIENDSHIP BUT WON'T CON-
sIDER RECOGNITION OF Or
CANNED LABOR.

The negotiations carried on by
committees representing organized
labor and the w. w. p. Co. seem
to have had the usual result. The
company tried to hand the working
men another lemon.
At the meeting of the Central
Labor Union last night the report
Of the committee appointed to meet
officers of the w. w. p. Co. was
read 1t was stated that the COM
pany had nothing to offer that had
not been offered in the past and
that the open shop was the best
that could be expected from the
power monopoly. The company
wanted union friendship, but offered
nothing in return. Traffic Manager
McCalla said the company would
hire union men If they were needed,
but that no discrimination would pc
shown between union and nonunioR
men. The company represented it
self under a $4,000 bond to main
tain the open shop. This is the
Manufacturers association agree
ment.
The committee recommended that
the fight against the company's
street car lines be continued and
that all union men refrain from
patronizing the cars of the com
pany excepting when compelled tp
do so. No action was taken on the
report the entire matter going over

INDIANS At
HOME TO-DAY

Eddie Quinn's Indians play the
Butte Miners this afternoon at
Recreation park. The team is now
in fine shape physically. On the
trip away from home several of the
players were crippled, which neces-
STATED the changing of positions
somewhat and playing the pitchers
in the positions of those injured
Quinn said:
Our boys will play their old po-
sitions. We won out of Is games
on the road and that is playing ball
some. | contemplate getting some
new players and further strengthen
ing certain positions"
Just what positions Quinn will
strengthen is unknown. Swain In
center field is not batting very
strong. His work the first part of
last season was unsatisfactory. To
ward its close he batted streak.
If they will hang onto Swain 1t is
believed he will prove good invest
ment. He has 1t in him but appears
to lack confidence. He is big,
husky player and good fielder.
Jensen will pitch this afternoon
for the Indians. Garvin will twirl
for the Miners. Jensen has shown
up well on the road. Osborne and
Jensen did most Of the pitching be-
cause Erickson was under the
weather at first and later got in a
collision, which put him out of the
game.

SIGNS Up
ALL BUT TWO
SHOPS

With the exception of NiXon-Kim-
nell and WarrenOllver, every cleo
trical contractor in the city signed
the Spokane Building Trades ALI
ance agreement with the union
electrical workers, between $50
and 10 O'Clock this morning. Close
silence on both sides has been
maintained for the past few days
regarding the deadlock which has
workers and the contractors since
May 1.
This mornings developments
practically ends the fight and vir-
tually in favor of the union. The 2
remaining unsigned shops will en-
deavor to maintain an open shop.
They declare that they will not sign
even though the others have broken
the ice.
None of the strikers have suffered
by the prolonged lockout. as all
have been amply supplied with
work in the few shops which signed
almost at first notice, but they are
all visibly pleased at their success
in winning the fight.
The union has held itself willing
to confer with the contractors upon
any occasion and have offered at
any time to call an open meeting
of their members that the contrac-
tors might be permitted to come
face to face with the workmen
themselves, instead of a committee
from the body. Thus the fight has
been waged and now that it has
been ended so nicely no hard feel

MAYOR KEEPING
QUIET ABOUT
ONO

Mayor Moore declined to state
this morning whether he would
send another nomination to the city
council tonight as successor to Com
missioner James T. ONO. 1t is be-
lieved that since the council refused
to confirm his appointment of Cor
don c. Corbaley to the place a tenn
porary truce has been fixed up be.
tween the executive and commits
sioner. The democrats are firm for
ONO and it will be almost impos-
sible now to GUST him SO long as
they maintain their present atti-
tude.
The council tonight will consider
Mayor Moore's appointment of DR..
G. T. Penn as successor to DR.. N.
NJ. Baker on the health board. That
the democratic councilmen were
not satisfied with DR.. Penn was evil
denced at the inaugural of the new
council, when consideration of the
appointment was deferred. Both
DR.. Penn and DR.. Baker are repub-
licans. Bakers appointment has ex-
pired.
The reason behind the opposition
is DR.. Penn's attitude toward DR..
Charles V. Genoway, health officer.
Genoway is democrat and has
given great satisfaction in his adj
ministration of the affairs of the
health department. The council
wants to retain him and wants
someone to succeed Baker who
agrees with Genoway.

SAN FRANCISCO, May al
Judge Dunno denied the motion for
a change of venue in the Schmitz
case after listening to reading Of
affidavits submitted by the defense
and the state this morning. When
the decision was announced several
Kissed. The work of calling trial
jurors then began.
The small court room in which
Dunno is holding the session was
crowded with spectators. When
the mayor appeared with his attor-
neys the aisles were so crowded he
had difficulty in making his way to
a seat.
Schmitz, in his affidavit. charged
Dunno with being biased and under
the influence of the press. He ac-
cused Spreckles of persecution for
the purpose OF securing control OF
the board of supervisors to grab
immense street railway and water
rights. He charged that such con-
troll had already been secured; that
Spreckles is practically the ruler of
the city.
Judge DUNES counter AFFIDAVIT
denied bias. Spreckles' affidavit de-
clared he had no motive in guar
anteeing the 100000 fund other
than 10 secure conviction of all
grafters. high and low. He had no
personal prejudice against Schmitz
any more than against any other Of
fetal accused of robbing the city.
He asserted he had no political am
billions nor hopes, and expected no
financial reward.

SPOKANE KNIGHTS
MEET CHAMPIONS

A large delegation from Red
Cross lodge, X. of p, are in attend
ance at the meeting of the grand
lodge, which convened In Tacoma
today. The knights went over to
the Sound Sunday.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the meeting will be the
comparative drill between crack
companies of the uniform rank. The
chances for first honors, it is con-
coded, lies between Spokane and
Seattle.
The Spokane knights have been
drilling consistently for months
past and hope to bring back the
flag: The Seattle company took
first prize at the last meeting of
the supreme lodge against the best
drilled companies in the country,
and the local boys will have to go
some If they defeat them.

HAYWOOD JURY
/. PANEL AGAIN
/. EMPTY
(Scripps News Associatlon.)

I BOISE, Idaho, May 21.-The spe-
lcial venire in the Haywood case
was exhausted this morning and re-
cess taken until another venire can
be summoned.
Starting off with but 9 left of the
special venire it was plain today
that before final adjournment this
afternoon an enforced recess would
be necessary in order that the sher-
if may summon another panel of 80
men.
Darrow this morning resumed the
examination of John WhitlOck.
Whitlock is not wanted by the de-
Tense, but is making strenuous eff
forts to qualify.
While the contest over the juror
was going on somewhat sensational
developments were in progress else
where. A detective employed by
the defense was declared to be
searching for persons from Den
yer who were reported to have sold
to the prosecution agents certain
records of abstracts from letter
files of the federation headquarters
in Denver.
According to the story current
here these documents consist of
letters written by Simpkins from
Caldwell before the Steunenberg
murder 1t is claimed they show
conclusively that Simpkins and
Haywood were on terms of unusual
intimacy. Simpkins refers directly
to Orchard and his work. Hay
woods replies to Simpkins are al
so declared to be in the lot.
Men connected with the defense
admit the prosecution has certain
federation letters, but claim they
are merely routine communications
The court finally consented that
further examination of Whitlock be
deferred until later in the day. The
defense then peremptorily chal-
lenged Josh Fisher. Levi Smith, a
railroad employe, was Professionally
accepted to succeed Fisher after 5
others were excused for bias.
General Wells, Of Colorado, has
given up efforts to have Steve
Adams confirm Orchards confess
sion. Wells spent a part of last
week in Wallace. He saw Adams a
dozen times and tried to have him
admit he had been reached by
friends of Haywood, who induced
him to retract the previous confess
sion.
Adams declared the original con-
fesslon was lie extracted by
threats. He stated further that if
placed on the stand by the prose-
cution he would swear to this in
Upen court.

Captain Trail was the last man
to leave the steamer. His clothing
was almost burned from him.

flames creep up despite the crews
heroic efforts to fight them back.
The steward and purser worked like
heroes caring for the passengers. J"
Another passenger tells of the
death of men. The last small
boat was leaving the ship with the
captain in the stern sheets. 1t was
thought all were saved when 4
men suddenly appeared from the
forecastle through the flames.
The boat turned back, but one
cried:
