A case that promises to develop
some highly interesting features
sprung into existence yesterday in
the death OF Jerry Westlake al his
home in the coal mine settlement nj
Richland coal works. at the south
end OF LAveland. Westlase's death
was due to two bullet wounds. one
in the temple and the other in the left
arm. The question bothering the
county authorities today is whether
or not the wounds were self-inaicted.
and II not who else hal a part in the
tragedy.

The shooting occurred Yesterday
afternoon at o'clock and AT $50
Westlake was dead. a post mortem
examination was held over the re-
mains at the Mendel Undertaking
parlors last night by Coroner Nichols
and today the inquest will be held.
IL is anticipated that the testimony
taken by the coroner today will shed
some light on the affair and open the
way 10 clear up the mystery now en-
shrOuding the case.
Nestlake was assistant mine fore

been employed in that capacity since
the first of the year. For six years
prior TO that time he had been employ /
ed as pit boss in the coal mine al

UNABLET0 HOLD OUT LoNGEf
Chicago Garment Workers Seeking
Their Old Places.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Thousands of gar.
ment workers who have been on strike
for weeks sought their old jobs back,
admitting that they have been beaten
in their fight with the employers and
willing to accept almost any terms
that would bring them food. .-r

Their to continue the uneven struggle
the strike committee ordered the
strike called off and the $4,000 gar
ment workers who were still out are
seeking their jobs.
The effect of calling off the Strike
is that the workers may return to
work as individuals, that the 'topen
shop" policy will be continued and
that the employers will treat their
employees grievances as they please
The strike has been on for twenty.
two weeks, during which time ZOO
men and women have been out, involv
ing ESQ firms. A%->
! 1t is estimated that the employers
have lost $10,000,000 in trade and the
workers more than $3,500,0OO in
wages. q = ? -
At least six deaths are directly at
tributed to the strike. .....-.

FEAR FOR SAFETY
OF MISSIONARIES
May Have Been Slain BY Hun
ger Maddened Natives.

Shanghai, China, Feb. 6.-Great
| alarm for the safety of American mis-
sionaries in the famine districts Of
Anhui and Kiangsu provinces is ex.
pressed by members Of the relief com.
mittee and efforts are being made to
get into communication with those in
the outlying districts. ~.
It" Is feared the missionaries may
have been the victims of their charity,
as numerous instances of hunger mad.
dened mobs attacking and numbering
| persons known to possess even insig-
nificant supplies of food are reported
by field agents. -
Orders have been issued that no re-
lief be given by missionaries as indi-
viduals, but only as representing the
organized relief bodies. =
Two million lives at $3.50 each was
the estimate of their task made by
officers of the famine relief committee.
For $3.50 they declared they could
save one person from starvation un-
til spring.

8 Their Escape.
New York, Feb. 6.-Six. men, all
armed with heavy revolvers, entered
by twos at the three entrances to the
saloon Of Henry Fehn on Upper Sec.
cnd avenue. At a signal from the leader
all six began blazing away at the mir,
rors and glassware.
About forty shots were fired, with
such excellent effect that broken glass
was strewn all over the place by the
time two policemen ran up, attracted
by the fusillade: The zbluecoats found
the saloon empty except for the two
bartenders, who were crouching unin.
jured close to the floor behind the
bar, in fear of renewal of hostilities.
The six visitors had departed as sud.
denly and silently as. they came. The
police believe that they intended to
rob the saloon of the $500 in the till,
but were frightened at the racket their
revolvers caused.

DONE FOR HONOR OF ARMY
Captain Haines Justifies tho KILLING
of Annis.

New York, Feb. 6.-From Sing Sing
prison, where he is serving a seven
year sentence for the murder of Will
lam E. Annis, whom he accused of
making love to his wife, Captain Peter
G. Haines, whose resignation from the
army has been accepted by the pres.
ident, has made a pathetic appeal 'for
justice" to Secretary of War Dick
inson.
II am resigning for the sake of my
three children" he says, Gin order
that shall not be dropped from the
rolls" ~
The killing of Annis, whom he shot
down in cold blood on float at the
Bayside Yacht club May 16, 1908,
while the magazine man was dressed
in bathing suit and unarmed, was
necessary "for the honor of the
United States army" according to
Captain Haines. /.

BUSINESS IN BAD SHAPE

mittee, Asserts There Has Been
More Failures Since the Passage of
the Payne Bill Than for Several
Years eefore-1Iames Retailers for
Increased Price Of Lumber.
Washington, Feb. 6.-The National
Association of Lumber Manufacturers
of the United States, through their
president, Edward Hines, protested to
the ways and means committee of the
house against the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill al threatening disaster to the
lumber manufacturers of this country
The gravamen of Hines complaint
was that the proposed trade agree
ment permits of the admission into
the United States free of duty of wood
for the manufacture of wood pulp, but
still excludes logs for the manufac-
ture of lumber. He said that there
are billions of feet of pine timber on
the Canadian side, in close proximity
to America, that the logs can be float
cd down stream into American terri
tory, but that they are excluded by
prohibition Of the Dominion provin-
cial government.
I When Mr.: Hines suggested an
amendment to the pending bill to in
clude free admission Of logs for the
manufacture of lumber Chairman
Payne of the committee suggested
that any amendment of the bill would
simply mean killing the bill.
Mr. Hines wanted the committee to
wait until next Thursday to hear a
delegation Of lumber manufacturers
from the Pacific coast, but the COM
mittee will take up later the question
of extending the hearing.
sRseitss Lumbermen's Woes.
Mr. Hines complained of bad bust
ness to the committee in behalf of
the lumber manufacturers. He said
they had submitted to reduction in
duties Of 37h per cent carried by the
Payne bill, which had wrought great
distress to the trade, and they wanted
to come before the committee and tell
how the proposed trade agreement
with Canada would further hurt the
lumber affairs of the United States,
but the lumbermen could not possibly
get here before next Thursday.
Mr.. Hines said there had been more
failures among lumber manufacturers
since the Payne bill went into effect
than for several years before. He
went on in this strain for some time,
reciting 4 rate of higher cost of labor.
higher cost Of horses, supplies for the
men and all that sort of thing.
Champ Clark looked up from copy
Of the Pike County News, which he
was perusing, to ask In his blunt way
how 1t was that the price of lumber
had increased.
I'VE hadn't got out of town." grum-
bled Mr.. CLARK, "before the price of
lumber jumped up dollar thousand
although we had reduced the duty"
This sally led to quite discussion,
until Mr. Hines finally got out by lay
ing the blame on the retailers, who,
he said, were not controlled by his
association at all.

REBEL ATTACK IMMINENT

Force Of Revolutionary Leader Almost
Within Sight of the Border City,

Continue Their Flight Across tho
River Into Texas.
Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 6.-The follow.
ing notice was publicly proclaimed in
Ciudad Juarez, signed by the United
States consul: 49,
Having received notice officially
from Ell General En- Jefe P. Orozco,
a prominent commander of the pro.
visional anti-re-electionists in Mexico,
that he will initiate an attack on the
city of Juaroz without delay, would
earnestly advise that all Americans,
all foreigners and all noncombatants
should absent themselves from Ciudad
JuareZ until such time as state of
tranquility shall have been estab.
lished."
Just when Orozco and his followers
will make the attack on .Juarez is a
little indefinite, but it is very definite
indeed that the attack of the young
revolutionary leader on the border
city, which, according to his own
statement, he intended making the
provisional capital of Mexico, would
not be long delayed.
Official notice of the intended At.
tack reached the American consul at
1O:30 p. m. In this notice Orozco said
. he would attack within twenty-four
hours. Couriers from his camp, about
ten miles from Juarez, said he expect
ed first to reconnoiter the town before
striking, and that he was awaiting re.
Inducements. Juarez, too, was look
ing for reinforcements for the federal
garrison, but revolutionists said none
might, be looked for from the south,
where Colonel Robago and his shat.
tered command were.
A renewed exodus from Juarez took
place when the official notice of in
tended attack reached the American
consul. The notice was at once made
public and within a few minutes the
international bridge to Ell Paso bore a
large string of refugees.
