GENERAL ELECTRIC
STRIKE NEAR END
Believe Settlement May Be
Reached in Schenectady
Trouble Today.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Nov. 2S.-
It is the belief here today that q set
tlement will soon be reached by the
strikers and the officials of the Cen
eral Electric Company. There has
been no disorder and the extra police
men sent to guard the factories of tho
company have had nothing to do.
State Labor Commissioner Lynch. 1T
is expected, will reach here this after
noon and try to bring about a settle
ment. He is to do this as the wish of
Governor Glynn. The men declare
they will not return to work unless
all the demands they have made are
granted.
William G. Rogers and James Nc
Manus, Of the State Board of Media
tion and Arbitration, arrived here to-
day in an effort to settle the strike.
A conference between company Off
cials. the strike committee and George
r. Lunn, the Socialist mayor of the
city, took place later in the day.
The threatened sympathetic strike
of employees of the street railway did
not materialize today. The trolley
cars run for a short distance on Cen
eral Electric Company property, and
strike sympathizers had urged the
conductors and motormen to tie up
the lines. This they refused to do,
but today the trolleys stopped at the
dead line" just outside the com
pany's grounds, discharged their
and ran empty around
the loop near the General Electric
gates.

JUDGE SIGNS THIRD
DEATH WARRANT
FOR THE SAME MAN
Wife-Slayer Overton Twice Re-
prieved, but Court Again Has
to Pass Sentence.

1t is seldom that judge is called
upon to sign on three different oc-
casions death warrant for the same
man but that is what has happened
to Judge Harry v. Osborne in connec-
tion with the case of William over
ton. negro. convicted on March 13
last of the murcer of his wife and
four months -old boy.
Overton was first sentenced to
death in the electric chair by Judge
Osborne on March "a last, the death
penalty to be inflicted during the
week beginning April q. Just be-
fore that time rolled around Frank
NJ. McDermit. counsel for Overton,
obtained an order granting an APP
peal in the case, this acting as a stay
of the execution of the death sem
tence,
On July 22 the Supreme Court af-
firmed the conviction found in the
Essex County Court and ordered the
resentence of Overton. On August 81
by Judge Osborne the time of death
being fixed to take place during the
week beginning September 21.
Almost at the last minute a. re-
prieve was granted by Acting Gov
ernor James r. Fielder, the reprieve
acting as a stay for sixty days,
The reprieve was granted in order
that the sanity of Overton could be
further tested. 1t being the conten-
ition of Mr.. McDermit that the man
was insane when he killed his wife
and child. A commission of alienists
appointed by the Governor reported
on November 19 that Overton was
sane, and again the order came to
Judge Osborne for a resentence.
For the third time a death war
rant has now been signed, the last
one ordering that the death penalty
be inflicted on Overton during the
week beginning December 2S next.
During that same week another
Essex county man, John Dolan, Is
now under sentence to be put to
death in the electric chair. Dolan
was convicted a month ago Of the
murder of his wife, and on November
10 Judge William P. Martin, before
whom he was tried, signed the death
warrant
Under the law, as 1t Is generally un-
derstood, this would have meant the
removal of Dolan from the county jail
TO the death house at the Trenton
States prison within ten days after
the signing of the death warrant.
However, on orders of Judge Martin,
Dolan is still held in the county Jail
Dolan is being detained within the
jurisdiction of the county officials, 1t
is understood, to give Jerome T.
Congleton. his counsel, an opportnn-
ity to einish the preparation of papers
in an appeal for a new trial. These
papers, 1T is said, will be ready for
presentation to the court within
few days.

98 Bank street. is dying at the City
Hospital. The attending physicians
have practically given UP hope of his

came to call on him. The police,
when called, sent for the Public
Service Corporations pulmotor and
applied 1t. The patient was then re-
