tives In the siatieth congress has
been sent to the trades unions in every
section of the country. The procla-
nation is signed by Samuel Com
pers. president and attested by other
officers OF the American Federation Of
Labor. The shortcomings of Speaker
Cannon during the three congresses
he has served in that position, as
I'm this proclamation. are set
forth at length. and each instance
whereby his vote or ruling has acted
in a way that seemed inimical TO the
interest OF labor is given In detail.
Chief OF these Is cited his action In
regard to the labor amendments to
the Sherman antitrust law, the em-
ployers' liability bill, the project Of
creating a department OF labor with
a secretary in the presidents cabinet,
the eight-hour labor bill the abuse
of intunctions measure and the bill re-
lating to allen labor on the Panama
canal. Mr.. Cannon Is charged with
having voted or ruled against the in
terests of organized labor IN the con
of each of these measures.
The proclamation appeals TO organ
ized labor to strive for the defeat of
Mr.. Cannon as speaker of the sixtieth
congress by requesting all central
bodies and local unions to pass reso-
lutions asking the representatives OF
their respective districts to vote
against his recollection and TO appoint
com mittees to wait upon these mem
bers and present the needs of his de-
feat.

much younger than wilkins, was sup

oakland, Cal. Nov. 26.--Following
the arrests of NJ. A. wilkins. of ELM
hurst, who is In the county Jail
charged with numbering his wife last
July a woman's body having been
found in a shed in the rear of his
home buried beneath five feet of lime
and sand, the sheriff and other Of
aeers are now endeavoring TO locate
the body of IT. f. Kimmons, known as
Earl" who disappeared suddenly
from the wilkins home. II is suspect
ed that wilkins also murdered this
man, who was 22 years old and street
car striker. from San Francisco. VIII
kins asserts, however, that kimmons
recently inherited large fortune and
is now living in Houston. Texas.
Sheriff Barnett and fifty men ar
rived at Elmhurst early today and be-
gan a search for Kimmons' body.
An important development i'm the
case today was the admission by Will
kins that he was never legally married
to the woman who passed as his wife,
and whom he Is supposed to have
murdered. He said:
II met the woman on train. She
was broke and came to live with
me. She was between 30 and 30
years of age. She never told me who
her parents were or where she came
from, Dul S1t Sdlu DtI wac

An autopsy was performed at Elm
hurst today on the body. and although
no official statement was made by the
physicians. il is said that traces OF
poison were found. After completing
the autopsy the doctors consulted with
District Attorney Brown and told him
of their findings.
Other than to say that the physi-
clans were to make chemical an
alysis of the stomach, the district at
torney would make no statement.
TIE discovorv today Of 4 bottle of
strychnine in the shed where the body
was uncovered has given rise to the
impression that this poison may have
been the agent which caused the
woman's death.
