with the United Typothetae of America. The agreement was national, to he effective Jan. 1. 1907. The reason set forth last night by Secretary J.

J. Collins of the Chicago local for the breaking of the agreement was that it had originally been made by the national executive board of five members, and that it bad been unsatisfactory from the start to the 20.003 members of the International Printing Pressmen's union. He asserted further that It had never been submitted for ratification to the convention held in June of this year at New York city. The 1906 national convention instructed the executive board to get a better agreement. They secured an agreement with an open, shop clause.

Objection was registered by the rank and file-to this clause. Therefore. Collins holds, the pressmen are no bound to the agreement they have unanimously voted to disregard. A committee of the pressmen were sent Inst week to the convention of the United of America, held at Niagara Falls, to make the proposition that if the employers would agree to eliminate the open shop clause the pressmen would withhold their duntasupllJan. 1.

The rumors were discredited In the preaetntaJtbicLrcles last night, on the grounds, chiefly, bat there has been an insufficient la4e f5 1 hoe for such action to have taken place. It is possible- that Franklin Union No.

4 of the press" feeders union will unite with thb pressmen in their strike. The enmity, however, which grew out of the 1902 strike cf the press feeders has not yet been healed. The rioting which characterized the press feeders' strike of that year, and the subsequent birth of the pressmen's union out of the fragments left of the feeders', has not yet been forgotten by the Franklin union men, and it is likely that the memorable fight of that year will block the success of any overtures the pressmen may make. Efforts have already been put into effect to bring about an amalgamation of the two crowds, but no success has accompanied them. "The press feeders may do as they like; we are not concerned with them.v said Collins last night after the meeting.

Small of the Commercial Telegraphers Union of America the conviction obtains among local strikers that either President Roosevelt or some prominent busi-bpss maaj- not directly connected with the controversy with their employers, withio'tfaa space of ten days effect a settlement. While Small's return from New York city Is not pn an ofRciaLerraad, but a visit to his family, Ja weleh there has been illness for a number of days, the leader's return and the statements he gave out yesterday have Inspired greater cafiftdence than has been felt since beginning of difficulties.

it A II 5T0RTURERS OF AGED WOMAN HELD BY JURY Parhamites Confess Causing Death of Mrs. Greenhalgh at Zion City 'Undertaker Also Implicated Tar and Feathers Await Leader. (Continued From First Page.) Parham have organised to defend him. They have armed themselves with rifles and shotguns, and if the two forces come together there will undoubtedly be a clash which may result in bloodshed and necessitate the calling out of the' militia to bring about order. The whole of-Zion City is in an uproar over the investigation which has disclosed the amasing state of affairs existing among the Parhamites, In which human beings are said to have been repeatedly tortured in an effort to drive so called demons out of their disease racked bodies.

In the basement of the building occupied by Larsen Conrad, undertakers, the withered body of Mrs. Greenhalgh was examined by Dr Taylor and, his assistant. The socket Joints of the arms, shoulders, and knees were sawed out and exposed to the view of the members of the Jury, who stood around in he dim. flickering light while the different fractures were explained by Dr. Taylor.

There was hardly a large bone in the woman's body which was not broken, and Dr. Taylor reported that there could be no doubt that death was caused by the torture and shock which she underwent while the Mitchells were trying to force "devils" out of her pain racked frame. Both Mitchell and his wife had already confessed that they had mauled, pounded, and choked the patient, and explained their treatment of her by saying naively that they were possessed of spirits and had to obey their' biddings. "We thought that the Lord tent good spirits to us to tell us what' to do." stated Mitchell on the witness stand. "The spirits told us that we must bend Mrs.

Greenhalgh's limbs straight so that she could arise and walk. "The spirits told us that It would be hard to drive out the terrible demons and that we mutt not be afraid. We obeyed the commands of the spirits. We did what they told us to do. When Mrs.

Greenhalgh was dead the spirits told us that she was only sleeping and that she would awaken again. They saM that her limbs would be strsight aad thst she could walk again as she did when the was a little child, before she became 111 with rheumatism. Laya Death to Bad Spirits. "She did not awaken again; then we knew she was dead. We thought that good spirits were directing us, but now we know thst they were bad spirits." The confessions of both the man and the woman were similar In nature, not evaiive, and practically the same.

They did not deny that they bad killed Mrs. Greenhalgh. They did what the spirits told them to do, and she died. There are few in Zlon City who believe that a Jury will ever convict the pair of murder, much less the sorrowing son and daughter of the dead woman, and Mrs. Smith who told the coroner's Jury that she helped to drive out the devils.

According to other members of the Par-hamite sect, who repudiate the Mitchells, they are weak minded -brethren, brought to Zion City by Dowle, who is said to have forsaken them after they had given him their worldly all. Religion, according to Gideon Hammond, the present leader of those who are said to be graced with the "gift of tongues," has driven them Insane and they know not what they do. It Is plain to be seen that Walter Greenhalgh and his sister Jennie did not realize the true significance of the cries of pain uttered by their mother. They thought that she would be well again. When It seemed to them that Mitchell and his wife were using unnecessary force, it was easy for the other man to persuade them that they had nothtng to fear and that the terrible crlea were those of demons who objected to being ousted from the body of their mother.

When blood appeared on her face aad on her hip they were told that the devils caused the blood. Mrs. Smith Is a woman like Greenhalgh and his sister. She had faith and thought that she was doing the bidding of her Heavenly Father when she aided In breaking the bones of the aged woman sufferer. Pity Weswa Is Csafesalea.

Her testimony on the stand provoked only smiles of pity from the' followers of Vollva standing In the audience, who had been allowed into the room to-satiate their curiosity about the new thing that had stirred the "holy city" to Its foundations. There were no murmurs of malice and no threats of violence.1 Against Undertaker Hopkins was there real anger shown. He bad beloed to hide the crime of the old woman's murder, he acknowledged. He also aamltted that he had buried many other bodies without notifying the proper authorities, And VolivaT It is all as music to hia-ears. The Parhamites are his enemies.

They have aided In the disruption of his church. Charles F. Parham, the leader of the sect, has gained a large following in the city founded by the great Dowle. He Is now on his way to Chicago from Kansas City, and Is expected to arrive tonight or tomorrow What he will do when he gets here It Is hard to tell, but there will undoubtedly be open war between him and bis followers aad Voliva. Vollva la preparing for the conflict which may further disrupt Zion City and scatter his followers la a doaen states.

Last night and all through the coroner's Inquest he had his own private secretary present at the proceedings. This man took stenographic notes on all that occurred. He passed as a newspaper reporter and tew knew that he was the personal representative of Wilbur Glenn Voliva. State's Attorney Hanna stated last night VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY. We, the undersig-ned jurors, sworn to inquire into the death of Mrs.

Letitia Greenhalgh, according to the evidence and post-mortem examination, find on oath that she came to her death by violence at the hands of Harold Mitchell and Mrs. May Mitchell, as principals, and Walter Green ha Ig-h, Jennie Greenhalgh, and Louisa Schmidt, as accessories. We, the jury, also find that Undertaker B. J. Hopkins was an accessory after the act, in that he violated the state law in regard to issuing death certificates, and, inasmuch as the evidence shows that the laws and regulations pertaining to the issuance of death certificates have been wantonly violated in Zion City by Health Officer M.

J. La Iiose and Undertaker 15. J. Hopkins, we respectfully call upon the state board of health to investigate this matter and recommend that it take such' steps in this matter as it may deem necessary. And we find that certain practices are being carried on in Zion City, under the leadership of one Parham, which are both disgraceful and dangerous to society, and we believe that these practices should be thoroughly investigated by the proper authorities.

that he had not yet decided whether he would exhume any other bodies in Zion City In order to learn the cause of death. "There is no doubt that many persons have been buried without proper death certificates signed by an authorized person." he said. "Yet there Is nothing to show that any of these people met a violent death. The case of Mrs. Greenhalgh seems to be unusual and not sanctioned by other members of the cult to which Mitchell claimed to belong.

He seems to have made himself a leader of a small coterie of the sect, and to have worked himself and wife into some kind of a religious frenzy which led them to murder Mrs. Greenhalgh." Voliva, however, looks on the matter la a different light. He stated yesterdsy that he was going to press an Investigation into the death of every person who had been treated by the Parhamlte seceders from the church of Zion. Boor Ptttf aUr Brokea. Dr.

Taylor made the following report of the condition in which he found the body of Mrs. Greenhalgh on making the postmortem examination: "Hemorrhage and fracture of the right knee. "A comminuted fracture of the right elbow. "Discoloration, black and blue, of the left groin. "Ante-mortem discoloration of right side above and below collar bone.

"Swelling on forehead, indicating violence before death. "Fracture of neck. "Fracture of the left elbow. "Left shoulder fractured. "Right shoulder and ankles not fractured.

"The shock of the breaking of the bones caused death. "There were many small pieces of broken bone found in the fractures. "The bones were brittle, and therefore easily broken." The death of Elizabeth Mttehel. who died two weeks ago after having been treated by the weird rites employed by Mitchell, is said by the people of Zion City to have been due to the fanatical religious belief inspired in her by his teachings. The report that he used violence In her case is to bo Investigated.

QUERY: WHOSE FAT IS III THE CHARTER FIRE? Politicians Seek to Discover Which Built Its House Upon Shifting and Treacherous Sands of New Dress Issue. DENEEN-LAWSON COMBINATION PICKED AS MOST BADLY HURT Consensus of Opinion Appears to Be That Governor's Aids Fought to Have Law Enacted and Have -Lost Much Prestige in 1 Varying opinions are forthcoming re specting the political effect of the eharter-l election.

The question now la, wnose political domicile waa built on the shifting sands of the charter? Obviously, there la a divergence of opinion on this point. A Deneen man wlU anblueh-ingly aver that the overwhelming defeat of the charter waa a splendid victory for the Governor and his cause. If one makes bold to Inquire how the-Gov-ernor could claim credit for the defeat of the charter after sending his telegraphic indorsement from Jamestown, the lieutenant replies: "Oh. well, you know the Governor has to do what Victor Lawaoa wants hiss to do-he has to stand la with Lawaoa. That telegram was merely to please Lawaoa and the Governor's 'reform friends, who thought his telegram would save the charter." -View oC AaU-Dcaeesltes.

Now, gentlytake an antl-Deneen leader by the arm and ask alia what of the charter election. Hla rsply. will be to the effect that the men who made Charles 8. Deneen and were his tntors and sponsors and promoters In Chicago during the "reform" epoch were almost to a man pulling their hair in their frenzy to pass the charter last Tuesday. This last view la correct beyond the possibility of controversy.

If there bo one aspect of the charter that stands out mora conspicuous than any other It Is that the Chicago boosters of Governor Deneen went down to Ignominious defeat last Tuesday it Is that the men who first started on their meteoric ascent to the pnblis pay roll with the Mueller bill bit the dust la what was perhaps their last desperate struggle for many years. The unprejudiced and wholly disinterested observer cannot fall to see that this Is true. He cannot fail to see that the feeling of the people that they were being "bunked" again by the "reformers" had much to do with the decisive defeat of the charter. Heforsa Caaae DIserealtesL Coming so soon after the traction "settlement" through which most of the leading "reformers" and "nonpartisans" secured good jobs, psying from $10,000 to $18,000 a year it was conceivable at the outset that the charter had little show. One result of the election doubtless Is that the honest reformer has had hie cause discredited for a decade.

Throughout the entire charter business the men who stood at the head and steered the thing along were the men who made Chicago a babel for Governor Deneen. and who today are his mainstays In Chicago, aside from the delegates represent patronage. There is. first and foremost. Victor F.

Law-son. Then come Walter L. Fisher and Milton J. Foreman, and the mea who for years have taken orders from George E. Cole and his Municipal and Legislative Voters' leagues.

Mr. Cole personally said he did not like the charter as it came from the Legislature, but all of his pupils were vociferously for it. For the charter were also the "Civic federation' which, it Is understood, has now dwindled to an "executive committee," and organisations akin to It In published purposes. These several forces. constituted virtually the whole of tbe so called Deneen crowd In Chicago In 1904.

And these several forces fought desperately for the charter last Tuesdsy. Aaalysfs of tsto Vote. An analysis of the vote discloses the fact that what was true when John Maynard Harlan was the Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago (that is, waa running on the Republican ticket) was in a measure tbe case last Harlan bad -f- years, as a "soaparHsan" aad a "reformer," scuttled the Republican ship in-Chicago. It was his people who kept Carter Harrison In office for ten years. When Mr.

Harlan, after havingbeen a candidate oa aa Independent ticket, finally secured, the Republican nomination. Republicans, Instead of turning the other cheek, followed the philosophy of Confuciua and smote him mightily. The question aa to whether this was showing a Christian spirit is not Involved; It Is merely a recital of the facta. Over on the Weat Side last Tuesday the cuarxer was terri Diy lambasted. All through the campaign the old Lawson-Deneen- isher-Harlan specter headed the nrocea- sion.

Mr. Foreman was chairman of the charter convention and chairman of the "nonpartisan campaign committee. Mr. Lawson labored for the charter with unremitting zeal. Mr.

Fisher was on the stump, and behind him practically all of the leading lights In the old Deneen crowd. Refasea to Vote for It. While there is no question that Congressman Lorimer voted for the charter, as probably did also many of tbe Lorimer lieutenants, the guess would be not far from the truth that the rank and file of the Lorimer forces absolutely refused to vote for a propo-f the ol1 Deneen-Lawson forces 'Chicago seemed to be In such crying Thla same situation was apparent throughout the city.

Charles W. Andrews, rice chairman, presided In the absence of Chairman Reddlck. John J. Hanberr submitted the resolution, and the only talk for it was made by these two. Mr.

West sat back and refused tocom-mttjilmself one wsy or the other until finally tbe Intimations became so warm that he got up and made a speech that was somewhat calorific The substance of hjs talk was thst he himself did not like the charter, that It had been tampered with at Springfield, that It was vielous in some respects, but that since the committee had made it a party Issue his mea would do loyal work. On the motion to adopt the Hanberg resolution Hanberg and Andrews voted yes" and ne one voted "no." although several members of the committee-were sreseat. An drews declared It Mr. West "made good" In his own precinct In the Seventh ward. The Sixth aad Seventh wardr In Hyde Park went for the charter by a small majority.

Mr. West's friends claim this showed he was "on the square with the charter. But over in the four Town of Lake wards, knowa as the Deneen horn wards, the charter was slaughtered. Deneen's own ward and home precinct went heavily against It. Mr.

West's friends ex-Plata that the cosmopolitan population and tbe fear of hls-her taxes account for this vote, and was not due to any Vdeuble cross work by the Deneen men.

to the defeat of the charter, but conspicuous among these was the support of the charter by the old Deaeea-Lawsoa leaders. The fact that they were able to get to lb polls for the charter but 59.000 of the J61.000 registered voters Is considered by Impartial observers as an Indication of how Chicago aa a whole feels toward these forces. Whether deserved or not, they appear to he viewed with suspicion by the voters. Out In the state the defeat of the charter probably will help Speaker ShsrUeff. The down state newspapers, are Insisting now that Chicago's representation In the Senate be limited by a constitutional amendment.

The agitation- probably will be that the lower house of the General Assembly remain as it is. but that each' county In the state be considered a senatorial district for tbe purpose of electing Senators, and that but one Senator be elected from a This would give Chicago a popular representation' in the Jower. branch, but would limit it to one member of the upper bouse, white the down state people would send to Springfield 161 Senators.

Here in Chicago the. defeat or the charter has not materially changed the situation, except that It has made the-Busse leaders a little more angry, if anything.

The mayor himself is not talking. His friends are anx-loua to "cut loose." The Deneen men say Mayor Busse will be with the Governot. The mayor's sdvisers confidently declare this Is impossible. The leaders likely will get together this week and try to settle the matter before the opening of the state fair. In this conference probably will be Mayor Busse and James Pease, representing the North Side; Postmaster Daniel Campbell and James Reddlck, representing the Northwest Side; Congressman William Lorimer.

representing the West Side, and John Hanberg. representing the 'South Chicago district. County Treasurer John R. Thompson heretofore has not been taken in at the conferences of the "Big Seven." Roy O. West may not desire to be present, as Governor Deneen, say his frietyja, intends to fight, regardless of what the leaders determine.

Down state leaders, who do not take kindly to Governor Deneen. are praying that the Chicago leaders, or particularly Mayor Busse and his North Side friends, will declare for Judge McEwen or any other man than the Governor. If that be done, at leaat three, and possibly four, down state aspirants for the Governorship soon may be in the field. They are former Governor Richard Tates. Len Small of Kankakee, Richard J.

Barr of Jollet. and Frank L. Smith of Dwicht. All of these have been seriously considered. It is the belief that, if.

Mayor Busse snd his friends refuse to support It is a free-for-all race, in which almost any contender would have a chance. should Mayor Busse threw his support to Deneen, in the fa.ee of what haovened to the Deneen leaders last which the mayor's friends say Is Impossible, down state candidates might come Into Cook county, anyway. Former Governor' Yates, for instance, might be able to bag delegates in Cook Shnrtletrs friends tell him be can have a few.
