now CHARGED WITH MURDER
WIDOW OF HARRY SAMPSON Is
ARRESTED.
Facts Brought Out at the Inquest
Conficted With the Theory of
Suicide, First Advanced

ROCHESTER. N. Y. November "a
Mrs. Georgianna Sampson, widow of
Harry Sampson of Palmyra, who died
November l as the result of a gunshot
wound, was today formally accused Of
the murder Of her husband by the dis
trict attorney of Wayne county and
placed under arrest. Sampson was a
nephew of the late Admiral Sampson.
The death Of Harry Sampson took
place on the Allyn farm. located between
Palmyra and Macedon, in Wayne coun-
ty. 1t was at first believed that Samp-
son took his own life, but following
his death stories were circulated which
discredited that theory
Finally the coroner decided upon a
rigid investigation. DR.. Albert Hamilton,
gunshot expert. after examining the
wound in Simpsons body testified posi-
tivefy that the dead man could not have
fired the shot which killed him.
1t came out at the inquest that Samp-
son on the Saturday before his death
had discovered a letter written to his
wife by man outside Of the family
which had been the cause of a bitter
quarrel. 1t was also testified at the in
quest that Sampson had a package of
cheese in his hand when he fell dead
in the farmhouse, which was held to
preclude the idea that he could have
fred the shot from the rifle that killed
him.
At the resumption of the inquest at
Macedon today District Attorney Gilbert
told Mrs. Sampson that she might make
a statement If she SO desired but that
anything she said might be used against
her.
Mrs. Sampson replied that on advice Of
counsel she would not make a statement.

MINERS WANT DUTY ON zINC|
IMPORTS FROM MEXICO Ruin
DOMESTIC INDUSTRY.
Some Plants Compelled to Shut
Down, Others Forced to Lay Of
Number of Their Men.

I'VE come to Washington seeking a
duty on zinc ore with good deal Of
confidence" said Col. John r. Holmes
of Joplin. Mo, at the New Willard this
morning. "In our party are fifteen zinc
miners from the Missouri-Kansas district
and ten from Idaho. who want duty on
both lead and zinc. However. lead al
ready has a tariff of one and a half cents
pound and we are asking the same
consideration for zinc. When the Ding
ley law was framed importations from
Mexico were unheard of and we did not
ask for a duty. Within the past three
years they have grown to such an ex-
tent that we have been compelled to shut
down a part of our mines, and if it
continues at the present rate our labor
ing men will all be without jobs and we
mining operators without properties. One
of our party who formerly employed 900
men now has only fifty men on his pay
roll. Another had 100 and now has none,
as his mines are all closed. Zinc can be
produced for such a small amount In
Mexico that we cannot compete with 1t.
Labor there costs 30 cents a day, while
our cheapest labor is 81 a day. while
some of the Shovelers get as high as s.
day.

Admiral Hollyday Urges 10 Pei
Cent Increase in His Bureau.

Rear Admiral Hollyday. chief of the ma

nual report recommends a general ap-
proximate increase of 10 per cent in the
salaries Of all clerks. He says that the
exact amount recommended in each case

particularly embarrassed. especially In
the matter of securing and holding compe-
tent men to superintend the consolidated
power plants.
1t has been proven conclusively, says
Admiral Hollyday In advocating an In
crease in salaries in his bureau, that the
cost of living has increased not less than
20 per cent since the present basis Of SAL
aries was fixed. He again invites atten-

gress may be induced to afford proper
relief He also calls attention to the en-

LORDS REJECT LICENSE BILL.
Overwhelming Majority Against
Measure Shown in Caucus.

LONDON, November 2+.-There was a
remarkable gathering of lords today in
the residence of Lord Lansdowne, the
leader of the opposition. Two hundred
members of the upper house assembled
to discuss what the house should do
with the licensing bill.
BY a large majority the meeting de-
cided in favor of rejecting the bill sum-
marily when brought up for its second
reading. AS the unionsts are in strong
majority in the upper house, there will
be no difficulty In throwing out any rad
ical legislation distasteful to them.
The resolution carried at today's meet
ing was to the effect that while the union
lists are DESTROYS of promoting temperance,
1t is impossible for them to support a
measure that violates the principles of
equity. There were only eight dissent
ing votes.

ing department of a greater newspaper.
When he was editor of the Philadel-

the editorial comment is presented. In
fact, among the news sections the
sporting page has the preference. so
YOU see why the sporting editor is so
important. 1t is a great feature, and
the policy of the Press is to encourage
it. But when the people have assimi-
lated the general news and the busy
hours of the day are ended and their
demands are met then it is that the
editorial page comes in for attention.
