Rothfelder to marry him and he heard
the girl say she would not and heard
her tell him to let the matter drop.
Then IL / don't marry you." Mar
tinus shouted, mo one else will"
Secclesone heard a shot then and
peered around the pillar in time to see
Miss Rothfelder drop to the pavement
with a bullet in her stomach. He also
saw Martinus put the revolver to his
own head and 6ire two shots. One went
through the brim of his hat, the other
missed entirely. Secclesone tried to
grab Martinus, but the man turned and
ran up 111th street. with a shouting
crowd. which had gathered quickly, in
pursuit, The crowd chased Martinus
for several blocks, but the man finally
lodged into a doorway. ran up a tene-
ment stairway and escaped.

OKLAHOMA CITY. March 31.-The re-
port of a house investigating committee
asking the impeachment of Gov. J. u.
A. Robertson will be voted on to-mor-
row. House members indicated to-day.
Gov. Robertson was charged with
gross neglect, corruption in office and
unwarranted use of executive power
in the report submitted yesterday. In
a statement the Governor denied the al
legations and declared the report was
a fabrication concocted and presented
during the closing days OF the Legisla-
ture for political purposes"
The report accused the Governor OF
receiving money from various private
sources in return for misuse OF his
power as Governor. and alleged that in
his sworn income tax return for 1919
he listed only his salary OF $500.
whereas he was alleged to have received
during the year S16.09S additional.

LABOR BOARD GETS CASE
Workers Call Reductions I'm
warranted, as Living Costs
Have Not Fallen Much.

PITTSBURGH, March 31.-The first oi
a series of wage conferences between
executives of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and representatives of en-
ployees ended to-day when the twenty
Ave delegates for $4,000 maintenance
of way and structures and unshlled
forces refused to accept wage reduc-
tions OF 16 to 25 per cent.
The committee of general managers
of the road suggested that the workers
accept the cut The labor representatives
held separate meeting and decided to
reject the proposed reduction. This re-
fusal automatically threw the case into
the hands Of the United States Railroad
Labor Board.
w. S. Burrell of Chicago, chairman
of the wage bureau of the road. pre-
sented the company's proposition. Un-
der the plan common labor, now paid
4Sa cents an hour, would be reclassi-
fed into zones and paid so to S7h
cents: skilled mechanics receive 59h
cents, cut of 1917 cents; day rate em-

tions necessitated a general wage re-
vision downward.

He said that the relation between the
cost of living and the wages paid coule
lot influence the decision, for the fact
is that it cannot at this time be shown
that the cost of living has been ml-
ter.ally reduced" In closing he told the
general managers that the men feel thai
at this time a reduction in the wages
or salaries paid employees is unwar-
ranted.'
To-day's conference was the initial
meeting between the two sides. AS each
group OF workers receives two days to
present it's case. there will be no meeting
tomorrow. On Saturday the managers
will meet with representatives of the

Every district outside of New York has

sufficient work done to their vessels here
TO patch them up so that they could be

way has not only taken millions Of dol

amount of employment available for
American labor.

The miners have little funds. As a
consequence of this they are determined

the men were warned that their union

There are some indications tonight

where the engineers are angry over be-
ing called out. The men have been
ordered not to attempt TO destroy mine

Government organs are united in de-
