FIRES SIX BULLETS INTO PAR.
ENT's BODY AT REQUEST
or HIS MOTHER.
Fourteen-Year-oId Lad Urged by His
Mother, a Former Inmate OF
Insane Asylum, to Commit
Brutal Murder.

Ogden, Utah, james A. Clough, Az
years of age engine inspector for the
Southern Pacific, was shot to death
Sunday morning by his son, Raymond
Clough, IA years of age, who commit
ted the cold-blooded murder at the in
stance of his mother, Ollie Clough, 40
years of age, who is reported to be
apparently demented.
After the son fired the first shot OF
the .38 calibre revolver into his faith,
er's breast, about 2 o'clock in the
morning, the father started to raise
himself and the mother jumped back
of the son and held his arm and told
him to empty the gun, according to
the confession said to have been made
to the police by the mother and son
shortly after their arrest at 6 o'clock.
According to the police, Mrs. CIough
was in the state mental hospital of
Texas number of years ago. 1t is
said that she has acted peculiarly of
late. The police believe that Clough
was nervous about his wifes condi-
tioin, since he had the revolver locked
in a drawer, while he kept the key.
The woman said she "sneaked away
the key and got the gun early in the
day." .~-....

WAGE FOR MINERS
CONFERENCE CALLED BY PREsI.

REACH SETTLEMENT.
Coal Situation Now Up to Chief Exec.
utive, Both Operators and Miners
Reporting That Conference
Has Proved Failure.

Cleveland, DINNERS attending a
conference of the joint scale commit
tee of the central competitive field
held policy meeting on Thursday,
following failure of the joint confer
ence to agree on the miners demands
for increased wages, and adjourned
sine die after voting unanimously that
miners in each of the four states con-
cerned Will seek to make supplement.
tai and separate agreement with oper-
ators in the field. This practically
disrupts the central field as a basing
point.
lnasmuch as the joint conference
was called by President Wilson, oper-
ators and miners sent separate tele-
grams to the president advising him of
the failure to reach an agreement.
The telegram sent by the operators
was statement of the fact that the
joint conference had failed to adjust
the controversy after five days of al
most continuous conference.
The miners telegram was optimis-
tic in tone, saying the miners would
endeavor to make separate and indi-
vidual agreements with the operators
in the various states.
I'VE have found 1t impossible to
reach an agreement with the coal
operators of the central competitive
field bearing upon the issues in
Volved," the miners telegram, signed
bly, President Lewis, said. There is
no controversy affecting any princi-
pie, but merely difference of opin-
ion as to what constitutes an Unequal
ity and the degree to which 1t should
be adjusted.
