that he had not heard that the negotia-
tions had been brought TO a successful
conclusion. He suggested that the
rumored price of s6.000.000 was ex-
aggerated. Other circles set the sum
involved in the deal at $4,000 900.
Overtures were first made by the
Whelan interests some two years ago.

family is said 10 have held out Cor
S6.000,0 900. That figure is thought 10

$40 STOLEN; BUREAU
DRAWERS RANSACKED
Wife Went Out When Two Stay
ers Arrived-Tells Of Death
Threats Received.

Salvatore Gaglio, Of the firm Of Brown
& Gaglio, manufacturers of ladies'
skirts. at $40 Sixth Avenue, was muir
dered in his home at 735 East l62d
Street last night by two men whom he
received in his bedroom, where he lay
i'll.
Gaglio. who had recently returned
from the New York Eye and Ear In
frmary, where he was being treated
for mastoidtis, was a very sick man.
Two men called 10 see him early last
evening. and his wife Frances admitted
them. One Of them carried something
in a newspaper. She ushered them into
her husbands presence and he seemed
to know them, for they chatted pleas
antly. She decided TO take the oppor-
tunity afforded by their call to go to
the corner drug store on an errand.
She returned in fifteen minutes and
found her husbands skull crushed in.
The bureau drawers were ransacked
and $40 had been taken from Mrs. Gag
los purse.
The woman's cries attracted the at
tention Of Abram Van Raalte. an in
surance agent who was in the building
at the time.
When he saw what had happened he
summoned Patrolmen Traynor and
Riley. bloody package WAS found on
the bed, containing two files, believed
20 have been used in the murder.
All that the hysterical wife could tell
Coroner Ilealy, District Attorney
Martin and the detectives was that the
men were of medium height and wore
soft brown hats
Herbert Drummer. boy who was in
the house at the time, said he had seen
two men, one carrying p grip. Van
Raalte also noticed two men going out
"a he entered.
The only motive the wife could give
was robbery She admitted, however,
that two years ago her husband had re-
ceived several Black Hand letters. These
had been turned over to the police and
nothing had been heard OF the matter
since.
Gaglio became member Of his firm
about two months ago, before his sick
ness. the firm name at that time being

SEEKS TO KILL
NEED OF UNION
But Capitalist Denies Scheme Is
Aimed at Organized
Labor.

Denver. Sept so. An industrial plan
which John d. Rockefeller. jr., char
ac,erized as broader and more demo-
cratic than unionism," will be submit
ted TO officers and employees Of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at
Pueblo on Saturday. Announcement
Of the meeting was made by Mr.. Rookie
Teller tonight.
At the conference. besides Mr. Rookie
TELLER. will be the principal operating
officials Of the company, all the mine
superintendent and the grievance rep
rcsentatives of the various Colorado
camps. Between fifty and sixty men
are expected to attend.
In discussing the meeting Mr. Rocke-
Teller declined TO make public in ad-
vance any details OF the industrial
plan which has been worked out by
himself and ". /. Mackenzie King in
collaboration with President f Wei
born and other officers OF the company.
He said, however. that it was in no
sense an attack upon union labor.
at the outset of the late strike in
1872 he said. "the company took the
position that every man was entitled
20 work on his own terms and condl-
tions that he should be free to join
q union or not That position, when
stated by me before the Congressional
strike investigation cOmT'tJee in 1914,
was misconstrued in some quarters as
"a statement that we were fighting or
gained labor.
What my statement meant and what
the position Of the company's officers
meant was that we did not think those
of our employees who did not care to
ioin a union should bc forced 70 do so,
as would have been the ease If we had
signed the contract rendered by the
United Mine Workers of America. This
is the position which ! always have
maintained"
The plan is proudly referred TO by
some Of the millionaire's advisers as
the united republic Of labor and cap
ital," with a constitution. president,
cabinet and Legislative bodies and
with every miner or other employe a
citizen. They point out that the plan
already has given to their miners model
homes, model schools, model clubs and
modern living arrangements.
The full details have not yet been
worked out Mr.. Rockefeller declines
10 comment on his work. saying he will
issue a statement in due time, giving
his full views. He says that his plans
are TOO big to be given out haphazard
and possibly misinterpreted. What has
been done so far, he says, is only
beginning. The plan may be briefly
outlined as follows:

BUSINESSIMPROVING
SAYS W. R. PHILLIPS

Business is improving all over
the United States. Tacoma Is get
ting it's share, and will get even a
greater share than many other
localities when world commerce
resumes its normal condition.
In the meantime the Bankers
Trust Co. is putting itself in
readiness to handle big portion
of the new business.
Such is the announcement of
w. r. Phillips, new president OF
the TacUma bank. Phillips came
to Tacoma few days ago from
Seattle, where he resigned his
position as president of the
Northern Bank & Trust Co., and
is now installed as head of the
Bankers Trust.
He is sanguine over Tac0ma's
future. He's more than that; he
is a genuine booster for the city,
and enthusiastic over the future
of his bank.
The Bankers Trust recently re-
.organizedH with Phillips as presi-
dent, and A. v. Hayden, former
state bank examiner, cashier. Mr..
Hayden has taken an active part
in banking institutions in the
Northwest for 20 years, having
entered the Citizens National
bank of Tacoma in 1886, and Id
Lvanced through several banks un-
til six years ago, when he resign
ed his position as cashier of the
Scandinavian-American Bank to
become state bank examiner.
A new marble front is being
completed at the Bankers Trust
Co., and when it is finished, the
bank will have the finest home
of any financial institution in the
Northwest.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-That a
time-bomb, concealed in a trunk
on the Fabre liner Santa Anna,
caused the fire aboard her in mid
ocean, which imperiled the lives
of her more than 1900 passengers
was a theory held today by the
authorities.
This was strengthened by the
fact that the fire, it was learned
today, started Sunday night in the
steerage and ragged seven hours
before it was controlled.

He was a young man, roughly
dressed, but APPARENTLY well ed
