LORD TOLD HER
TO MURDER FATHER
Sixteen Year-0Id Daughter Puts
Fatal End to Family
Quarrel.

Philadelphia.-''The Lord told me to
do it as | lay in bed" This reason has
been advanced TO the authorities for
her act ny sixteen-year-old Clara Bar
tell, daughter of a railroad signalman
of EdgewOod, who shot and instantly
killed her parent.
The first news of the tragedy came
when a physician was called to the
Bartell home. He found Bartell lying
on the floor, sprawled face downward,
with a gaping wound in the chest just
below the shoulder blade. The full
force of a charge of shot had struck
him, and death was instantaneous.
The victims wife, almost insane from
grief, and his four children still were
in the house and seemed too dazed to
give n coherent story.
State policemen soon We're on the
scene and finally obtained some details
of the tragedy. According to the wife
and other children, whose story later
was sobbingly substantiated by Clara,
the father came home from work in the
morning, and at breakfast an argu-
ment, which frequently occurred in the
family relative to moving to Philadel-
phia, broke u again.
The children wanted to live In Phil
adelphia where they could have the ad-
vantages of better educational and So

Against Anti Strike Law.

Washington.-Timothy Shea gave
notice To Congress that the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemcn and En-
'ginemen, of which the is acting presi-
dent, would not observe the pending
anti-strike Legislation if enacted into
law. "If these interests of the legisla-
tors believe railroad employees will I'M
resistingly submit To any such inva-
sion of their rights as citizens" Mr..
Shea continued. they had better ex-
pei that thought from their minds, he

firemen and hostlers at least when ]
say that any law which deprives them
Of the rights Of American citizenship

this class of American citizens are law
breakers. but because such a law
would be unwaranted, un-American

PREPARED FOR FIGHT
WANT DEMANDS MET BEFORE
LINES GO BACK TO OWNERS.
SHEA SAYS GOVERNMENT HAS
FAILED TO REDUCE LIVING
COST.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western New spsper Union News Service
Washington, Oct. 23. Railroad en-
ployes are prepared for IA finish fight
with the Railroad Administration for
increased wages, time and a half over
time and improved working conditions
before the government surrenders the
roads 10 private control. Unmistak-
able notice 10 this effect has been
served by Timothy Shea of the fire
men, appearing before the Board of
Railway Wages and Working Condi-
tions.
IF our demands for "A living wage
should not be met when the time APP
proaches for turning back the rail
roads To their private owners Mr..
Shea said in testimony which became
public. I'VE shall demand as a condi-
tion precedent TO the change the real
ization of the fundamental rights of
labor, the living wage, the eight-hour
day on all federal controlled roads,
time and one-half for overtime and
other principles to which the govern
ment pledged itself during the war,
which now have been made a part of
the treaty OF peace and which so far
the Railroad Administration has never
fulfilled"
While Mr.. Shea was appearing on
behalf Of the firemen only, it has been
recognized generally that wage in
creases for any n class Of railroad
employees meant an advance for all 10
maintain equality between the work
ers. Mr.. Shea said he anticipated
that the failure OF the governments
efforts 10 reduce the cost of living,
which he frankly expected. would
make necessary advances in pay for
all workers.
Thus II is the view here that the
government will be face to face in Il
few weeks with virtually the same Ia
Dor crisis which arose during the
summer. President Wilson then de-
MED the request of the shopmen for
Il general increase In pay on the
ground that the vicious circle" of
rising wages and mounting prices
must end.
How Director General Hines pro
poses TO meet the situation has not
been divulged. II is considered GER
tain. however, that il any wage in
creases are given, President Wilson
first will be consulted. Railroad Adj
ministration officials declare the re-
lations with the union men have never
been 50 good as AT present, and in
pointing to the last report of the La
bor Department, showing "A decrease
of II per cent in living costs in
August.

BROKE JAIL FOR MOTHER
Trusty Later Wrote Sheriff That He
Would Return and Finish Term
After Paying Debt.

Carthage, Mo.-After demonstrating
that he could be given the privilege OF
a trusty, Homer Parrish, a model pris-
oner in the town jail. was placed on
the list OF men given the freedom Of
the building. One night Parrish fail
ed to answer the roll call and IL was
discovered that he had escaped.
A few days later the sheriff received
a letter from the former inmate. II
read:
MY mother needs M help just now.
A mortgage will soon be due on her
home and ! am going 10 help to earn
the money 10 meet the notes. As soon
as I have done that I will return and
finish my term"
County officers decided that Parrish
at least made his getaway for a COM
mendsble purpose and ahey have reach
ed the conclusion to give him a chance
TO assist his mother. The case is with
out a parallel in criminal annals Of the
state.

SAYS STRIKE
IS A CRIME
WALkOUT UNLAWFUL, DECLARES
PREsIDENT-GIvES STRONG
WARNING.
"STICk TO POSTS"
LAW WILL BE ENFORCED AND
PUBLIC PROTECTED, is
UITIMATUM.

Washington, Oc1. 2I.-Thc Presi-
dent of the United States and mem
beers of his cabinet pronounced the
proposed strike of bituminous coal
against the government and people of
the United States.
They brand the strike both morally
and legally wrong and declare in a
statement to the public lhai the law
will be- enforced, and means he found
I" protect The interests of the nation in
any emergency that may arise out of
this unhappy business.
In plain, vigorous language the
President announces that the strike
cannot be permitted under the laws of
the government for protection Of So
ciety. The government, he says, will
use every means within its power to
prevent the strike and keep the mines
operated.
The decision means that unless the
miners call off the strike they and
their officers will be- prosecuted for a
high crime against the government.
1t means, also, that the government
will not hesitate TO keep the mines
operating, even if it may be necessary
for the government to operate them
and to protect them with its strong
military arm.
But the President hopes hat it will
moi be necessary TO prosecute the min
ers and appeals to their officers and
TO the miners as individuals at once
10 recall all strike orders,
ing that he stands ready to see that
their differences with the operators
are fairly adjusted by arbitration.
at is time for plain speaking" the
President declares, asserting that in
this crisis he gives no thought 10 the
merits of the miners demands. Their
and interests can be taken up
1t Is the paramount interest OF
the whole American people that must
be secured first.
The pronOunciamento, issued after
the cabinet had held two sessions and
conferred with President Wilson In his
sick room through DIR. Grayson and
Secretary Tumulty, struck with tre-
mendous force on the minds OF public
officials, members Of Congress and Of
ficials OF the United Mine Workers
and the Coal Operators Association.

Would Deny Berger a Seat.

Neutrality-suspicious. of a seat in the
House of Representatives To Victor
Berger, Milwaukee Socialist, who is
under conviction for violation of the

also recommended that the g a should

tion was taken.
