Information received by Sheriff J. N. Cohenour today was that both Scott and Barr were seen by a King man man at Las Vegas, New, last Tuesday. They are reported to have told him that they were on their way to South America. Authorities of California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah have been asked to assist in the search for Scott and Barr in the hopes that they may be able to shed some light on the mystery.
 George P. Mills, an aviator, of Santa Monica, Cal, now is believed to have been killed at the time of Chapman's murder on the desert. It also is the belief of Sheriff Cohenour that it was Mills automobile, a Chalmers, that collided with the machine in which Chapman, Scott and Barr were travelling and over which the staying is believed to have resulted.
 The theory now is that when the Chalmers and Dodge ran into each other, an argument ensued and Chap man and Mills were killed. The Dodge was put out of commission and it is believed that the slayers of the two men took the Chalmers and fled. What became of Scott and Barr is a mys- tery, the authorities say. Whether other passengers in Mills machine did the killing or not, is what the authori- ties are trying to determine. In that

He stated that he had pushed the matter of an appeal as far as he Hugh M. Aleorn had also performed his share in the procedure but that the papers in the case had not been perfected" by the superior court and so the action already taken did not act as a stay of execution
 Mrs Gilligan was convicted last July Of the murder of Franklin R. An drews by poison on May 30, 1914, and she was sentenced by Judge Gardiner Greene to be hanged November 6. Her counsel then gave notice of appeal and asked for findings of facts from the court and the prosecuting attorney took the same step- MT. Holden stated that these findings have not been made and so the appeal is not yet formally made.
 Governor Holcomb has stated that he will not move tc stop the execution now MT Holden says that he will not move further as he believes he has done all that he can
 After the conviction of Mrs Gilli- gan an effort to s7ve her from exc cutfon was started by Mrs. William F. Bisckensderfer of Stamford When the appeal was begun she agreed to sus- pent her endeavors until the matter had been acted upon by the court.

Virtually one thousand square miles of Italian territory have been oveIrun, more than 12O.000 Italians have been made prisoner and in excess of 1000 guns have been captured by the Ger man and Austro-Hugarian armies in their eight day drive from the Isonzo and Carnic Alps fronts of the Aus tro Italian war theatre.
 From the east the enemy invasion fin the center of the battle front now is well within gun range of the Tag harento river, where 1t has been pre- sumed that General Cadorna would turn and make a stand.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS AT
 SEATTLE TO WALK OUT Vote Was Taken Yesterday-Meetings in Progress in Other Cities.

San Francisco, Oct. 31.-Although representatives of electrical workers and operators of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company agreed at a conference here late today to post pone strike action pending federal mediation, workers at Seattle voted to- day to walk out at once. Reports from other cities said that meetings were in progress to determine local action. A union official at Spokane said:
 "The strike already has been post poned and in view of the rejection of the strikers demands by the company, it is doubtful if the employees can be restrained longer"
 Night workers at Seattle were in- structei that they might finish out their shifts and apparently all were doing so.
 Three thousand women operators in various coast cities and 5000 electrical workers are concerned. The opera tors demand recognition of their union and the electrical workers an increase in wages of $1 a day.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Immediate re- lief from the coal shortage in the east was promised today by the fuel ad- ministration which will tissue an or der tomorrow modifying the arrange ment under which shipments to the northwest have been given preference over all other movements. Priority orders will be suspended in number of mining districtk, part Ecu.arlv in Pennsylvania, to release both bitumi- nous and anthracite coal for muni- in the larger cities along the Atlantic seaboard. This. it is said, will assure an ample supply of fuel to the big steel producing and shipbuilding plants and will permit householders in New York and Boston to obtain all the an thracite they need.
 At present most of the coal mined in Pennsylvania, West Virginia Ken lucky, Ohio and Indiana is going to lake ports for trans shipment to the northwest and to Canada. This move ment has been so great that the northwest is in position to have the supply cut down.
 A plan to apply penalty provisions 20 non union mining districts to pre- vent strikes and lockouts was an- nounced today by the fuel administra- ton aftef conferences with leading producers. President Wilson's ord e of Monday raising coal prices AS cents a ton throughout the country carried
Norwich bulletin., 1917-11-01

a provision denying the increase to districts failing to adopt the penalty system. Producers in non-union dis tricts pointed out that they had no authority to enforce penalties against unorganized miners.
 The fuel administration overcame the difficulty by directing the opera tors in non-union districts to collect fines if strikes are called and turn the money over to the government for use by the Red Cross. If miners are lock ed out without cause the fuel admin istration will fine the operators, dO- hating the money to the Red Cross.
 Operators and miners of the south west who have failed to reach an agreement as to a penalty clause in the new contract were called to Wash ington today by the fuel administra- tor for a conference Friday. Unless penalty clause satisfactory to Dr. Garfield is adopted, coal price in creases will be withheld in the south west.
 Investigation of thousands of com plaihts of violations by operators and dealers of coal price regulations has been started by the fuel administra- tors legal staff. Information gathered will be turned over to the department Of justice for prosecution of the of lenders. Examples, 1t was hinted to- day, may be made of a number of the larger offending producers and dis tributors.
