CmCAOO. Nov. 13. Furthor action
In the rae of Miss May Otis, arrested
Jier last nijrht cliarril with plotting
to brinjf nt'out thf murtK-r of her
mother, will depend upon the- result of
n examination to determine the pris
oner's mental rondition. This state
ment was made today by Chief of
I'etectlves O'Brien, iift.-r ho had seen
Iiss Or Is. who was pai and hyster
ii.nl. culling constantly for her mother.
Jcnies Daughter's Statements.
Mrs. Sarah Otis, Miss Otis mother,
was interviewed by telephone at
Mausnon, Wfs.. today. With reference
to t hrt statement by detectives who
made the arrest that Mrs. Oti$ was to
be murdere'l by hired thugs on her
return to CIiichko Saturday night,
Mrs. Otis declared that she had not
intended to corne to Chicago on that
iav, had made n plans, in fact, and
had not been urged by her daughter to
come.
"Mae's last letier." said Mrs. Otis,
"wis quite as usual and made no ref
erence to my nimini? home. She was
n cheerful, normal girl and I am sure
she is the victim of some pre poster
mis mistake. I gave her some money
;it times, but she seldom needed it.
"We never had any trouble, for she
was a good rirl and a loving daugh
ter."
It was In this Interview that Mrs.
Otis learned of her daughter's arrest
xi nd she expressed her intention or
coming at once to Chicago to the girl s
aid.
Miss Otis is alleged to hav ap
proached Robert C Stolpman, a private
detective with a proposition to do
way with hfr mother for a considera
tion of $100 to bind the bargain and
92400 when' the d"td had been accom
plished. St lpman informed the city
police and Detective Mar kay was de
tailed to assume the role of a thug
vIKing and competent "to do a, job'
which would have no hospital pre
jurie. Paid Over Money.
Every nrnngem-r.t had leen com
pleted with the "thugs' last night and
tiss Otis paid over $100 to bind the
bargain. The following receipt was
'taken from her after- her arrest:
"Received of Mae I Otis. 4..0 East
.Torty-slxth place, $100: balance due
52400. ROBERT C. STOUPMANV
AT iss Otis gave Stolpman a promis
sory note for the $2400 payable .after
ffhe had collected her mot her's smal 1
fortune. Following the delivery of
this note the "thugs" made known
-tneir true Identity and the arrest was
inado.
The prisoner's first visitor today
-was Mfss Anna Stuvingel. a cashier of
n reslurant near the Rock Island
Station. She declared that she had
persuaded her employer to loan to
Miss Otis the $100 said to have been
paid over by the latter to the detec
tives. JLater Cantaln O'Brien ordered the
prisoner brought to his office, where
lieutenant Cudmo:e recognized her as
i woman who four days ago came to
the station nd complained somewhat
vaguely that her mother thought more
of her money then she did of her
laughter. She told the lieutenant that
Tier mother bad several thousand dol
lars left her by her husband and that
she refused to share It with" her
. -daughter.
Tells Strange Story.
T went to Detective Ptolpman's of -lice
for advice." said Miss Otis. "I
wanted to look inio my mother's
financial affairs and I told him that
my mother thought more of her money
than she did of me. I thought I would
happier if ? had control of the money.
Molpman promised me that my mother
t-hou Id mysteriously disappear. When
I asked what he meant, he said he
would get my mother out of the way
nm. kctp her away if I was willing
to pay the price. He suggested vari
ous methods and finally I agreed. I
J don't know why we quarreled, my
mother ami T. but I loved her and cer
tainlv would not want to kill her or
would not want l.tr killed, although
fii.e has not treated me right."
Purlng the interview. Captain
O'Brien sent for the City Physician to
observe the prisoner's manner, in view
cf stories ss to her sanity.

"BLOW TO DEFENSE
Coroner's Verdict Admitted in
Lamphere Trial.
STATE HAS OTHER PROOF
Prosecution AVill Prove 'by Other
Meiins, Says Court, Mrs. Gun
ness Came to Her Death
In a I 'ire.
LA PORTR. Ind., Xov. 13. The defense
In the Lamphere murder trial in its ef
fort to prevent certain evidence poinp to
the Jury suffered its first defeat today,
when Judse Richter ruled that the report
of the coroner's verdict was admissible
as primary evidence. The ruling followed
exhaustive arguments by the attorneys
for the state and for L.ampliere.
The defendant looked paler than on yes
terday. He was unnerved considerably
during the opening statement by Prosecu
tor Smith of yesterday, and today looked
as though he had not slept well. When
questioned, he said Mr. Smith's state
ment was "very strong, but there Is noth
ing In the claim that I went past the
Gunness house that morning."
Tells or Finding Bodies.
Coroner Hack "was the first witness on
the stand. He was uuitc uncertain about
his answers at times. He testified to the
hnding of the bodies in the ruins, and
said that one was that of an adult fe
male and the other three were those of
children.
Attorney Sutherland conducted the ex
amination for he state. Dr. Mack testi
fied that in addition to the bodies he
found a number of bones, including a
piece of human vertebrae, a part of a
large jawbone. The bones, which hail
been seale.d in a jar, were then introduced
in evidence. A piece of charred cloth
taken from the palm of one of the hands
was also offered in evidence and identified
by the coroner. After Coroner Mack had
identified the report of the inquest, which
he held, it was offered in evidence by the
state. The defense at once objected.
Cpon the court ruling that the inquest
report was admissible, the examination
of Coroner Mack was resumed.
Other Proor Coming.
Judge Richter withheld his decision on
the question of the admission of the in
quest reports over the bodies of the three
children. Attorney Worden cross-examined
Coroner Mauk and drew from him
the admission that he had not weighed
the body of the adult female found in the
fire and that he was unable to tell what
caused a hole discovered in the skull in
one of the children. Dr. Mack stated
that the head of the adult body was miss
ing. Dr. F. T. Wilcox, who conducted
the autopsy over one of the children,
was unable to determine the causa of
death.
At the opening of the afternoon session.
Judge Richter instructed the jury to dis
regard the Coroner's verdict as proof of
Mrs. Gunness' death, as the state would
prove that by other means.

NO OPPOSITION IX SIGHT FOR
PRESIDENCY.
Mitchell's Seat Probably Only One
Over Which Federation
Will Contest.
DENVER, Colo., Nov. 13. Rumors of
contests for official honors in the Amer
ican Federation of Labor are beginning
to be heard, although the election of of
ficers does not occur until the latter part
of next week. No one Is mentioned as
an opponent of President Gompers for
re-election, but there is a report that
Thomas 1 Lewis, who succeeded John
Mitchell as president of the United Mine
workers of America, will oppose him for
the position of second vice-president. It
is reliably stated that Mitchell wants re
election, tout in spite of this desire Lewis
will come out for the office. Lewis ar
gues, it Is said, that Mitchell, having
accepted & place with the National Civiy
Federation, cannot hold office in both
organizations. Other, contests are men
tioned, but the one reported to be on
which Mitchell and Lewis are engaged
attracts the attention of the delegates at
present.
Today being the last day on which res
olutions can be introduced, a flood of
them was ready when the sessions of the
federation began. The matter of the
next meeting place is becoming an inter
esting topic of discussion among the del
egates, a large number of them appar
ently favoring Toronto. Canada, for 1909.
The first order of business was the re
port of the committee on rules on the
following rule which had been submitted
to the committee:
"No negative motion or negative substi
tute shall be entertained."
After a brief discussion the rule was
voted down and a new rule adopted, as
follows:
"Committee reports shall be subject to
amendments or a substitute to which
any motion is subject."
The object of this rule Is to prevent
conflicts over negative motions or mo
tions to non-concur on committee reports.
Previous conventions have had the same
dispute over this question, and the dele
gates were anxious to debate the matter.
The rule was finally adopted. 137 to 7.
The report of the committee on rules
was then adopted as a whole.
The secretary read invitations for the
next federation convention from Detroit,
Milwaukee. St. Louis. Lansing, Mich, To
ronto and Washington.
In order to give th s committees time
to consider the various matters referred
to them, the convention at 10:30 A. M. ad
journed until tomorrow morning. Before
adjournment arrangements were made to
have all resolutions handed to the presi
dent or eeietary by 5::M this afternoon.

SCHWAB CRITICISES LABOR
Steel Magnate Sees Conditions Rad
ically Wrong in Bay City.
SAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 13. In ail ad
dress delivered at the organization ban
q.uet at the Rotary Club. local promo-
Itlon organization, Charles M. Schwab,
head of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
I tion. last night attributed the present
condition of American shipping to the
"incomprehensible ruling of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. wmcn
compels transcontinental railroads .to
publish their division of charges with
ocean carriers. Because of this ruling,
he declared. It was possible for steam
ers of foreign registration to quote
through rates and underbid the Ameri
can companies. He advised th.e citizens
of San Francisco to protest against the
ruling and asserted that if he owned
one of the lines- to which he made ref
erence he would refuse to operate It
ather than operate at a loss.
The cost of labor in this city, said Mr.
Schwab, is twice as much as in any of
the Kastern cities, not so much because
of the wage paid, but on account of
the amount and quality of work per
formed. "I lost fci.Ouu.oOO here in one
year because of the attitude of union
labor, and scratched It off my books as
charged.
"It may take a long time to realize It.
but the awakening must come. Con
certed action by all the merchants in
volved, pcxeistent and unremitting, will
relieve the situation. Until that is done
San Francisco will not assume the posi
tion that is rightfully hers in the com
mercial world. And when it has been
done I shall be ready to risk my dollars
here with many other Jiastern capital
ists." As Mr. Schwab had just announced
an investment of 42.00o.ono here In the ex
tension of the Union Iron Works, his
remarks were received" with the gravest
attention. He left the banquet table to
board a train for the K:ist.
STMDHID OILY EOT RATE
CLERK GIVES DAMAGING EVI
DENCE AGAINST OCTOPUS.
Eastern 'Railroad Had . Difficult
Work Complying With Require
ment of Interstate Commission.
NEW YORK. Nov. 13. A tariff sheet
quoting a rate of six c.-nts a hundred
pounds for oil in carload lots between
Whitinc Ind.. and Chicago, was sent to
the agent of the Standard Oil Company
in 10O:, and to no otiier concern, accord
ing to Fred O. Hollands, the Chicago &
Alton's tariff clerk who gavo testimony
today in the Government's suit to dis
solve the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey. The witness declared it was the
practice to send tariff sheets only to
shippa-rs interested in the transportation
of the particular kind of goods mentioned
in the rates. As no other concern was
shipping oil Irom the points spoken of
but the Standard, said the witness, the
tariff sheet in question went only to them.
iir. Hollands said that hardly a month
passed that the road did not have diffi
culty in complying with the requirements
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the matter of filing rates. In the event
of conflicting rates, he said, as when the
listed tariff- for oil .was 10 cents and the
actual shipping rate six cents, the lower
rate was permitted to govern ail oil ship
ments. The highest rate was always
done away with, added the witness.

entombed in the Radbod mine, where an
explosion of fire damp occurred yester

The police still keep the public away

The wives of the imprisoned miners are
demanding why the authorities keep
their husbands shut below ground, and
several of the women have become in

There is danger of further explosion
in the mine from extensive stores of
dynamite at the bottom of the pit.
Efforts are being made to check the

WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. Tobacco and
articles manufactured from tobacco com

iff law, were considered today at the
public hearing before the House Commit
tee on Ways and Means, which has- in
hand the work of preparing a readjust
ment of the tariff law for presentation to

tions of unmanufactured tobacco for the

article in considering any readjustment of
the tariff. The exports amounted to $33f
377.3W. There are over 17,000 establishments in
this country engaged In the manufacture
of tobacco which includes the making of
smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco of

Mystery of Mrs. Reed Depends
on His Evidence.
END DOUBT ABOUT SANITY
Mail-Clerk Was Woman's Traveling
Companion From Chicago Po
lice and Relatives Have Differ-
ent Theories May Die.
DENVER. Nov. 13. fpon the story of
E. J. Sawyer, a United States mail
clerk, the Denver police are depending
for a partial solution of the mystery
which surrounds Mrs. Allen F. Read,
who. last Monday, attempted to extort
SJO.OflO from Mrs. Genevieve Phipps on
threats of dynamiting. Sawyer met Mrs.
Read on the way to Denver and ac
companied her to the American House,
where she first registered under the name
of Mrs. Cone.
Both the police and friends of Mrs.
Read are anxious to locate the mail
clerk who befriended the woman on the
morning of her arrival In the city. The
police hope to show that Mrs. Read was
rational at that time and trying to con
ceal her identity until she could carry
out an alleged conspiracy to extort
money from Mrs. Phipps and other
women. They expect that Sawyer's story
will show that mentally the woman was
responsible and with no indication of In
sanity at that time.
Husband Says She Is Insane.
On the other hand, the woman's hus
band and physician hope to get new
proof of the woman's identity from Mr.
Sawyer. They declare that Mrs. Read
was insane when she arrived in Chi
cago; that she was insane when she se
cured $20,000 in bonds from a Chicago
bond house and that slie dfft not recover
her senses while on the train until after
the attempt to blackmail Mrs. Phipps
was made. In proof of this they say that
Sawyer was compelled to assist Mrs.
Read to the hotel and that she was con
fused and helpless and did not know
what she was doing.
Sawyer is out of the city on his run
and efforts are being made to reach him.
May End Troubles by Dying.
Weakened by disease and drugs, Mrs.
Read may never live to go to prison or
the asylum. Her husband told Chief of
Police Armstrong she would never re
cover and that her death was a question
of days, perhaps hours. Dr. R. O. But
terfield corroborated this statement, say
ing that Mrs. Read had recovered some
what from the effects of drugs, but her
mind has not cleared and she still in
sists that she remembers nothing of last
week's events.
Lawrence Phipps. divorced husband
of Mrs. Genevieve Chanler Phipps. who
has represented his former wife in hand
ling the legal side of the case, announces
that he has turned the whole matter
over to District Attorney Stidger.
