SESSION
WILL Be LIVELY
Senators NeWIandS and Nixon
of Nevada on Their Way
to Carson City.

Goldfield, New, Jan. 9.-There will be
no strike of the carpenters in the Gold
field district, for the present, at least.
The union has approximately 300 men
on its roll at this time. A largely at
tended meeting was held at Carpenters
hall last night to discuss the situation
as it presents itself to organized labor
in this camp. A new committee was
named to confer with the operators re-
garding a wage schedule in case the
employers would consent to a confer
ence, which seems unlikely, in view of
the turn-down given the committee
from the Building Trades council.
Insist Upon 81 Scale.
Four carpenters employed by the
Consolidated Mines company were tax
en- away from work today as they were
found to be drawing less than the union
scale Of 81 a day. The carpenters or
ganization, which is branch of the
American Federation of Labor, win in
sist upon its members getting 81 a day,
and will take from work any members
receiving less money. But so far as a
strike of this craft is concerned, there
was little talk of it today
All efforts will be concentrated upon
a conference with the operators, look
ing toward a permanent wage scale
and to discuss the open shop PROPOSE
ton. Should this fail, the union will
stand by its 81 a day wage scale and
take developments as they come.
Contest in Legislature.
The labor unions here are preparing
bill to be submitted to the extra SEES
sion of the legislature asking for COM
pulsory arbitration, and an appeal has
been issued and petitions circulated
asking for its enactment into a law.
1t depends upon Governor Sparks
whether the legislature will be permit
ted to act upon the subject, as it would
have to be embodied in the governor
message to that body.
Word was received here today that
both Senator Newlands and Senator
Nixon are on their way from Washing
ton to assist in getting through the
legislature such police laws as have
been suggested by the governor. A
large delegation will go to Carson from
GOldheld representing the law and or
der forces, and the Miners union will
also be largely represented, to fight
any measures favored by the Mine
Operators association.

NAVAL AFFAIRS
TO Be GONE OVER
Senator Hale Introduces His
Personnel Bill in the Senate
With Full Explanation.
GREAT INTEREST EVINCED
MEASURE I'M LINE WITH
BRoWNSoN'S IDEA.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The introduce
ton by Senator Hale today of his ma
val personnel bill proved the, occasion
for a general discussion of naval af-
fairs and recent occurrences in connec-
ton with that branch Of the public
service. The Maine senator entered
upon a full explanation of the provis-
ions of the measure, together with his
reason for its adoption.
He was soon called upon by Mr.. Till
man, a member of the naval commit
tee, to say whether the consideration
of the bill will probably bring out the
facts relating TO the controversy in the
navy department Mr. Tillman added
that ne had considered the advisability
of offering a resolution for such an in

Something About Fulton.

Speaking of the open Letter Of Sena-
tor Fulton of Oregon, calling zion He
ney to prove the charges made against
him, the famous prosecutor said:
Many of the facts against Fulton WIN
come out in the trial of Hall. and the
senator will learn more than he may
wish
Regarding the arrest of S.lA. D. Pu-
ter after he had been pardOned by Pres
ident Roosevelt Heney said that the
arrest was made through a misunder-
standing Of some of the local officials
in Portland and he did not think that
the charge Of perjury would be pressed
against Puter.
Heney denied the report that he had
been severely criticised by President
Roosevelt. On the contrary, he said
the president had received him warmly
and twice invited him to luncheon.

Killed a Man in Italy.
Murdered for Money.

Bavari was engaged in market gar
dening here in partnership with the
MinichiellO brothers, and is accused by
the police of having murdered them in
order to obtain their money and other
property. He had $3.50 when arrested.
Buffettl was an old man employed in
the garden. The police believe he was
killed because of his knowledge of the
other alleged murders. His name was
added TO the list of missing last night.
Mrs. Palmetto was a young divorced
woman who disappeared two months
ago. She had kept house for Bavari,
but repeatedly refused to marry him.
All her clothes have been found in Ba-
varis cabin.

MURDERER CUT
UP THE BODIES
Tony Bavari Arrested in Colo
ado for Killing Three Men
and One Woman.
MOST ATROCIOUS CRIME
ACCUSED MAN IN JAIL AT CAN
YON CITY.

Florence. Colo. Jan. 9.-That creole
Ruffetti Dominick MinichiellO, Joseph
Minichieilo and Mrs. Frank Palmetto,
who mysteriously disappeared in this
city, were foully murdered and their
bodies chopped to pieces, is the positive
opinion of the police. The disposition
made of their bodies is believed to have
been partly revealed by the finding of
human lungs, a thorax and piece of
a tongue in the Arkansas river. 1t is
believed that other CHASTITY remains are
being scattered along the bed of the
river by the swift current, and towns
below here have been notified to watch
for the appearance of any evidence of
murder that may come to the surface.
Killed a Man in Italy.
Tony Bavari who is in Jail, charged
with the murder of the Minichiello
brothers, is said by Chief of Police Fur
Mss to have confessed that he killed a
man in Italy before coming to Ameri-
ca. In his house was found bunch of
letters addressed to Tony NerOni, and
this is believed to be his real name.
One letter was from his father in
Italy, asking him to return to the old
country and participate in a fortune
the family had recently inherited. The
father offered to use every effort tO
clear the son of the murder charge in
Italy if he would return.

Will All Come Out.

Mr.. Hale replied:
Il have been asked a great many
times in view of recent transactions in
the navy department whether l did not
propose introducing a resolution of in
,|vestigation The subject is doubtless
worthy of the consideration of con-
gress, but after looking the matter
over carefully. as l have been able to
do, I have selected this method of ac-
ton. which involves the consideration
by the senate instead of submitting the
department to any investigation"
MIR. Hale then proceeded with his eX-
PLANTATION of the bill.
The first proposition. he said, was to
see that the business Of the department
shall be conducted as it had been in
former times of great emergency and
great peril to the country by the bu-
Ieaus and officers Of the department.
Dissension Created.
Every Accomplishment of the navy"
he said, has been by the action of
these bureaus. Ii IS only in late years
that boards have been organized. Many
of then, are composed OF officers whom
we can respect. but I have thought
that those boards have created dissen-
sion in the bureaus where the real
work is done.
II have provided i'm this bill that IN
less boards are to carry out specific
laws they shall not be continued or ap-
pointed in the future That l believe
IS a wise thing To do in order that jeal-
OUsies and at times unjust iRsinuatiOns
and aspersiOns of bureau officers of the
navy should at least have no rallying
point ii the department itself

Line and staff Dispute.

He spoke for the provision concern
ing the line and staff officers and their
duties. saying he inserted the provision
that the rank of staff officers should
not carry with it the command of any
vessel in the navy.
There are two sides TO this ques-
ton" the senator added, land I have
simply Incorporated that provision in
the bill in order that il may be con-
sidered by the committee and perhaps
by the senate"
Mr.. Hale spoke of the naval academy
and its magnificent equipment, saying
there are now ]. 164 midshipmen at the
academy and on practice cruise, and
that it would, in his judgment, soon be
necessary ITO receive in the higher
rank OF the navy only a small portion
of these midshipmen, who in number
are greater thar the officers of the
navy itself, and to permit the balance
TO go into civil life.
Senator Gallinger objected to the
practice of appropriatins $1,000, 600 or
81 900 for a naval academy and
then merely giving education TO men
who are TO enter private life.

Tillman Wants to Know.

Mr.. Tillman again entered the discus
sion, and again referred to the Brown
son incident. He referred to magazine
articles criticising the navy and charg-
ing that naval ships are being built in
a way Ito fit them only for the scrap
heap"
That assertion, he said, should either
he contradicted or the construction of
such vessels should be stopped.
"WIl it find" he asked. why
Brownson resigPed?" and continuing,
said:
THE president has given his version
of this controversy, but although he is
a great stickler for a square deal, he
does not give Admiral BrOwnson's ver-
sion of it,. I want TO know whether the
minority members of the committee on
naval affairs will be given an oppor-
! tunity 70 have the facts brought out "
Mr. Hale said in reply that he hoped
there would be no question of minority
or majority in the committee, as it had
acted as one body.
Il simply wanted to know" said Mr..
Tillman, whether we would be stopped
from getting Witnesses"
l Il should certainly hate TO be in the
way of the senator when he wants TO
call in witnesses" responded Mr.. Hale,
smiling. II have no doubt they will be
received"
Mr.. Foraker said he would like to
know whether the presidents contained
