of a first degree murder lndlctmffnt
against Mrs. Ermina Colavito, a mid
v ife. the fourth . woman to ' be in
dicted in connection with the murder
of Daniel F. Kaber, wealtny pun-
Usher, two years ago, and reveia
tions that the persons who are be
Sieved to have stabbed Kaber 24
times, attempted to obtain a I2o0o
reward offered for their Hrrest were
development in the murder mystery
today.
The ether three women under In
dictment are Mrs. i.va Catherine
Kaber. widow ef the slain man; Mrs.
Jlary Brickel, S9. her mother, and Miss
Marian McArdle, her daughter.
rloa and Knife I'aed.
The Indictment against Mrs. Cola
vito came after she had made
statement to the police. It contains
two counts, one alleging she admin
istered poison to Kaber and the other
that she participated in the 6tabblng.
Late'today County Prosecutor Stan
ton said he had begun work on the
theory that Mrs. Colavito herself
wielded the weapon that killed Kaber.
He said he believed two foreigners
.were present at the death scene. At
the same time he announced that a
women fortune teller, her daughter,
son and son-in-law had promised to
make statements covering their
knowledge of the affair. They were
being questioned tonight. -
The fortune teller has been in cus
tody since Sunday.
Effort for Reward la Made. r
It was learned today that the two
foreigners went to Joseph Kaber,
brother of the dead man, and offered
to show him a woman, "who could
tell all about the murder."
They , took Mm to -a place and
pointed out a house where Mrs.
Colavito lived,, according to' the
brother's statement, and tried to col
lect the reward. Their efforts failed,
lrowever, when they refused to give
further information.
Following the testimony of Mrs.
Colavito Implicating Miss McArdle
and Mrs. Brickel in the murder plot.
Miss McArdle denied all of the ac
cusations. '
A temporary Injunction was issued
today restraining Mrs. Kaber and
Miss McArdle from disposing' of their
rights in property left 'them by the
of Daniel Kaber.
Stolen Silver In Found.
Silverware which Mrs. Kaber re
ported to police as having been stolen
on the night of the murder was re
covered tonight from the home of the
fortune teller, where, the latter and
her daughter stated, it was placed by
JlrV Kaber three days before the
murder. I
The story told by the fortune teller
and her daughter coincides with that
told by Miss McArdle mto the New
York police last week, that she pried
open the buffet door three days be
fore the murder and that her mother
removed the silver.
It is contradictory, however, to the
story Mrs. Kaber told after her arrest
In New York. She said if the police
found the silver and the person who
stole it, they would find the murderer.
The fortune teller and her daughter
declared they could identify the
men who were hired to commit the
jnurder.
Following the questioning tonight.
the fortune teller was released, pend
ing further investigation.
Certain Death Demanded.
"Mrs. Colavito confessed that she
pnoourcd for Mrs. Eva Catherine
Kaber the two assassins who knifed
the latter's husband, DanieL to
death.
I want you to kill my 'husband.
"Don't leave him alive, for if you do
leave him alive you don't get the
money," Mrs. Kaber is alleged to have
told the two men who killed Kaber.
according to the confession of Mrs.
Colavito.
Mrs. Colavito was . booked on a
chage of murder after she had made
startling revelations to the police.
Others charged with the crime are
Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber, widow of
the slain man. Miss Marian McArdle,
her daughter, and Mrs. Mary Brickel.
6,3 years of age, mother of Mrs. Kaber.
Twelve persona have been -named in
connection with the murder.
Mrs. Colavito. who was known as
a mid-wife, was arrested In Sandusky
several days ago. In her statement
she told the authorities how two days
before the murder, Kaber's assassins
had tiptoed through his home to get
the "lay of the land." while Miss- Jc-
Ardle played a piano 'to drown the
noise of their footsteps
She also is allegedjo have said tint
the assassins demanded $5004 for
Appropriation of $5,000,000 for
Aext . Fiscal Year Involved;
States Must Match Funds.
"WASHINGTON", D. C.,. June 13.
Favorable report was ordered by the
senate postoffice and postroads com
mittee today on the Townsend bill
to create a federal highway commis
sion and to establish ' an interstate
system of public roads. .
Three democratic members of .the
committee will file a minority report,
probably recommending that no
change be made in the federal road
law. . '
. The bill now provides for a federal
highway commission of three. The
members would be appointed by the
president and would be paid $10,080
a year. The annual appropriation of
$lOO,0Q0.O00 to aid states In building
roads would be continued, with the,
specification that the eums allocated
to the states must be expended on
interstate roads. '
The provision granting the commis
sion final authority In the selection
of interstate road routes was retained
despite democratic opposition. The
democrats, however, gained Insertion
of a-clause directing the federal com
mission to act "in co-operation" with
the states.
States taking advantage of the fed-
era aid provided in the bill are re
quired to match federal funds, ex
cept in states having more than 5
per cent of the total area in unap
propriated .public lands, in which case
the. proportion of state funds, would
be decreased In proportion to such
public lands.
The bill also would appropriate
$5,000,000 for the next fiscal year and
$10,000,000 for the succeeding year for
forest roads in the states and Alaska.

Swamp Where Pyron Is Reported
to Have Parted From Confeder

KELSO. Wash., June 13.-(Special.)
After a futile search for Roy Gard
ner,,, escaped convict and companion
of N orris H. Pyron, who was captured
yesterday afternoon, which began at
daybreak in. territory from one to
three m'les north of Kelso, officers
late this afternoon received a report
from Lloyd Paine, 18-year-oid boy
living near Silver Lake, stating he
saw a man answering the descrip
tion of Gardner hiding in the woods
at 9 o'clock last night. A posse of
Kelso citizens was dispatched to. the
scene at 6 o'clock tonight, z
Man In Hiding Sera.
"When the man saw me, he started
to hide." Young Paine told the offi
cers -by telephone. "I was near the
edge of Silver lake,- at a spot near
heavy timber and underbrush. lie
acted as if he didn't want me to 'see
him." i
Paine said he did not suspect the
man was Gardner, the escaped con
vict, until he had heard today of the
capture of Pyron ' yesterday. ' The
youth was able to give only meager
details of .the incident. ' '
The report, casts doubt upon the
statement that'the man reported seen
in a marsh last n'ght was Gardner.

with vigor at daybreak, - continued
throughout the day, J. B. Holohan,

Rport That Harold Schayden Is
Killed Proves to Be I'n found
ed and" Two Are Wed.
4 ST. HELEN'S, Orjj June 13. (Spe
cial.) Instead ? the chief mourner
at a. funeral, Mrs. Martha Moller of
Canby became bride today when
Harold Schayden who, she thought,
was dead, came in from a -camp on
the Kerry railroad near here, very
much alive-.
Mrs. Moller, Schayden's fiancee,
had been notified by -Coroner Hen
derson of Pacific county, Washing
ton, that a Harold Schayden had been
killed in a railroad wreck- near
Lebam, Wash., last Saturday. Identi
fication cards in the pocket on the
dead man asked that in case of acci
dent Mrs. Moller be notified. She
started at once to claim the body.
Through error she boarded the
Astoria train at Portland. When she
informed, the conductor that she
wished to go to Lebam he put her
off, at St. Helens. From here she
called the railroad camp where
Schayden had been working, asked
if he was .known there and finding
that , he was, said "Send him to St
Helens immediately."
But it was not the body of her
fiances that she welcomed when
Schayden reached St. Helens today,
much surprised by 'the' urgency of
the call. The wedding, which 'had
been planned for July, was deter
mined on at once and the ceremony
was performed by . Justice of the
Peace Hazen. f t
It is presumed that some fellow-
workman found- Schayden's identifi
cation card and had it on his person
when killed in the wreck. The
newlyweds will attempt to establish

AUDITORIUM, Denver Colo., June
13 Optimism marked the opening ot
the 41st annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor today
the largest gathering in the history of
the organized, movement in-America.
Declarations were made by the ex
ecutive council, and by Samuel Gomp
ers, president of the federation, that
the enemies of labor and advocates, of
the "open shop" had failed in the
drive-to crush organized labor, and
.that the ranks of the American trades
union movement held intact.
- A year of ,progress was predicted
for 1921, President Compere declaring
that "before the next snow falls we
shall have passed the 6.000,000 mark
in the American Federation of La
bor." . v.
Overtures Hade to Farmers,
Closer alliance and co-operation be
tween the organized industrial work
ers of the country and the farmers
was urged by the veteran labor leader,
"in order. that we stfiall not be crushed
by the reaction of industrial captains
or princes of finance."
The first official action of the con.
ventlon was to adopt a resolution to
be submitted to congress protesting
against the Scott bill now pending,
which, it was alleged, would increase
the length Of the navigation season
on the Great Lakes, reduce the num
ber of skilled seamen employed on
ships and increase the hours of labor.
This action was proposed by dele
gates of the International Seamen's
union, '.who declared that the bill
would eliminate provisions in the
seamen's act and would increase the
dangers incident to navigation.
The convention unanimously adopted
a declaration of the executive council
calling upon" all local and interna- i naval hospital at San Diego, Cal.. was
agreed to today by senate and house
conferees.
The measure carries an appropriat
ion of Jl. 000,000.

Failure of Senate to Accept Sub

WASHINGTON. D. C, June 13.
By a vote of file to one the house
tonight adopted the Porter resolu
tion to terminate the state of war be
tween the United States and the
central powers.
As a substitute for the Knox
.resolution, adopted by the senate.
repealing the declaration of war. It
was put through, "305 to SI, as a
republican measure with the loss ot
only one republican vote Kellcy of
Michigan. Forty-nine democrats Joined
in the landslide.
First throwing out. on a point of
order, a motion by Representative
flood, democrat, Virginia, to send me
resolution back to committee with
instructions to report a substitute
requesting the president to negotiate
with the enemy countries for
treaty of peace, the house voted
down, -24 to 112, . another recom
mitting proposal.
There was no debate on the latter
motion.
Springing a surprise at the last
moment. Chairman Tortcr of the for
eign affairs committee in charge of
the fight, presented Representative
Bourke Cockran, democrat. New York,
to 'make the closing argument " for
adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Kelley, who is chairman of the
house conferees at work on the naval
bill, with its disarmament amend
ment, made a bitter attack on the
resolution, declaring congress would
live to apologize for Its act, which
he described as making peace with a
mere clasp of the hand.
The principal attack on the resolu
tion was based by democrats on the
ground'that it did not properly pro
tect American rights and that the
United States, in attempting to ne
gotiate a treaty with, Uermany and
her ally, would sit down witn reel
and hands tied. Republicans held.
however, that all rights were safe
guarded.
Failure of the senate to accept tne
house substitute will send the ques
tion of peace to conference.
Representative Burton, republican.
of Ohio, supporting the resolution,
said it would have to be supple
mented by treaty provision, and the
simplest course would be to ratify

' Gompers trgrs Disarmament
Urging world-wide disarmament In
his address at the opening of the
convention President Gompers said:
"I believe that the time will-come,
and we have earnestly striven
and ws will continue to strive for the
time, when there shall be "total dis
armament in all the countries of the
world and that disarmament will be
based upon universal agreement."
He made an emphatic appeal to the
workers to unite in opposition to the
movement designed to create a de
partment of public welfare.
-'Under the pretense of trying to
create a department of public wel
fare, it is seriously proposed to de
stroy the department of labor and the
department of agriculture," he said.
"No one can foretell where reaction
leads. Asa matter of fact, these are
the only two, departments in the gov
ernment of the United States that
represent at all the producers of the
wealth of our country, and it Is seri
ously proposed to destroy these two
departments."
America First With Labor.
The labor leader urged the dele
gates to discuss the questions con
fronting the convention "with moder
ation, with interest, with intelligence.
with intense feeling, always driving
at the just poijit." '
"While we love every human being."
he said, "no matter where he may
have been born, nor where he now re
sides, and will help as best we can.
there Is one principle from which I
feel we cannot . depart 'America
first."
The report of the executive council
was presented by James Duncan of

It covered the "open shop," wage re
