Entering an automobile tire repair
shop in Washington Sunday, John Nc
Henry, who gave st. Louis as his
home and 10 as his age, shot and kill
cd Wallace w. Mulcare, the proprietor,
robbed Mulcare of small sum of
money and later, before detectives in
the union station could arrest him,
shot and probably fatally wounded
James Z. Armstrong, city detective.
On entering the repair shop McHenry
according to John Shelton, witness,
demanded the contents of the cash
register. Mulcare, under the preteXt
Of delivering the money, fired at the
youthful bandit, who lodged behind
showcase and then shot Mulcare
through the heart. Shelton accom-
panied the police and detectives to the
union station in search of McHenry,
who, when noticing the officers, broke
from a crowd and ran into concourse.
There, cornered by the officers, he fired
three shots, one of which struck De-
tective Armstrong in the stomach.
Later, at police headquarters, Nc
Henry is said to have told the author
tiles that he planned the hold-up with
a view to obtaining sufficient funds to
leave the city, having arrived in
Washington several days ago from
Charlottesville, Virginia.

doubt, depending on the railroad bill
and German treaty naneuvers in the
senate.

passed by Saturday, Republican lead
ers have served notice that the recess
must be held in allegiance and many
members had visions yesterday of be-
ing kept in Washington over Christ
mas. The senate resumed its work
on the railroad measure yes
terday with night Sessions planned in
the hope of reaching a vote late in the
week. A score Of amendments face
the senate with a hot fight assured on
the anti-strike clauses of the measure.
Before the recess, leaders hope TO
enact the McNary sugar relief bill,
which will be taken up by the house
early this week, and the Edge bill, au.
thorizing foreign financing corpora
tions. The conference report OIL the
latter, which the house has adopted,
is pending in the senate.
Several congressional committees

posed recess Senator Frelinghuysen,

Industrial centers and formed unions.
Labor unions were not new. They
had existed before 1887, but were
not numerous or strong.
With the rising prices and dropping
wages the formation Of new labor un-
ions was the watchword Of the labor
leaders. In big industrial cities like
New York and Philadelphia they mul-
tiplied rapidly. Scarcely night pass
ed in some months without new So
,cieties being launched. At one mass
meeting in New York more than
fifty new unions were represented.
From these, often embracing only
single shop, have grown the national
unions of the present day. The new
societies did not go into politics, but
formulated the complaints and de-
ma nds of labor as to wages and hours
of work. Their slogan was
Eight hours for work, eight hours
for rest. eight hours for social re-
creation"
Strikes kept up, but with less vio-
lence. Whole trades rarely stayed out

methods of the strike were the same

BOHEMIAN CLUB OF
FRISCO SUSPENDS
WELL KNOWN POET
(San Francisco Bulletin)

Witter Bynner, poet and instructor |
of poets during the last college year
at Berkeley. and author of that de-4I
iightfully odd book of free verse, 1.-THE
Beloved Stranger" has been suspended
from membership in the Bohemian
club for six months by the directors
of that famed social and art rendez-
vous and a formal notice of his pun
ishment has been mailed TO Bynner az
his home in Rye, n. Y.
Bynner's suspension is on the dis
tinct charge that he discussed i'm pub
lie the secret affairs of the club.
Two months ago the poet addressed
to the San Francisco daily papers an
open letters in which he alluded to the
quarrel in the club as to his patriotism.
His loyalty had been called in ques-
ton by number of Bohemians headed
by Supreme Justice Melvin because
several months before his election to
the club he had been one of the sign
ers to petition 'favoring an imme-
date revision of the cases of all per-
sons, including conscientious object,
ors, convicted under the espionage or
other acts. solely. or primarily. for the
expression of opinions at variance with
the policies of the government
4lt -hcIN III COtcllt requested the
club authorities to expel Bynner on the
ground that the petition in question
proved he was not a good American
Just before the incident arose, Byn-
ner had been tentatively agreed on as
the man who should write next years
play for the Midsummer Bohemian
Grove jinks, because of his brilliant
attainments as revealed in this three
act play, His Fathers House." and
his shorter plays, Tiger" and 1.-THE
Little King"
The directors partially Modified the
anger of the poets opponents by
promptly naming Charles Caldwell
Dobie, author of last summers grove
stunt, to write next years play.
! But to expel Bynner for lack of
American patriotism because he had
signed the petition in question was a
far harder nut for the directors to
/ crack.
| The directors finally had made up
their minds there was no good reason
to either suspend or expel Bynner on
account of signing that petition when
unwittingly Bynner, by his letter to
the press, gave them what they con-
sidered good grounds to suspend him.
