Wlih no hesitation nearly all of tho 200 men employed at the plant signed the agreement, and at the next pay will receive the increased wago. Mr. Stanton said: "I believe every man should be paid what he Is worth, (t is only common sense that a strictly ober man is worth far more to the company than one occasionally drunk, or even one who imbibes now and then. We do not Intend to draw any distinction between the man who does inot sign the agreement and thoBe who believe in the scheme but we will not employ a man who Is known to be of habitual intemperate habits, and for that reason we expect little objection 'or hesitation on the part of our em ployes to sign the agreement A man Is a man, and it Is up to him to prove to me not me being obliged to dis cover that fact for myself. We will (employ no spies or tattlers in this plan. Any one who wishes to drink, lafter signing the paper, may do so, 'but if we have knowledge of that fact his drinking automatically severs 1ils connection with this company." 'Mr. Stanton further states that It is the object of the company to employ capable and competent men, and that it was only too apparent that this condition could be brought about only iby the employment of sober and in dustrious men, the two latter quail ftcatlons working hand in hand.

VILLA AFTER DESPERADOES Twenty-Two Of the Robbers Shot Last Tuesday Bandits Also De stroy Two Important Bridges. Juarez, Mexico. Seven American railroad men are believed to be prison ers; the Great Cumbre Ruilroad tun nol through the continental divide is in ruins, and the Mexican Northwest ern passenger train which left here Wednesday morning is a charred wreck at the mouth of the tunnel as tho result of the depredatlous of mem bers of the Maximo Castillo gang of bandits. This Information amplifying reports from Chihuahua was received here at the headquarters of the railroad. It corrects the statement that It was the Drake tunnel, a smaller bore south of Cumbre, that was destroyed. The Cumbre tunnel Is the largest on the road, 3,700 feet long.

A seventh American is believed to have been on the train and was also employed on the freight trau which was used to fire the tunnel. Gen. Francisco Villa, commander of the rebel forces, now at Chihuahua, was enraged at the news, and in a tele gram which passed through hero in structed Gen. Felipe Maclas, operat ing in the Casas Grandes district, to thoot every man who could not satis factorily account for bis presence there. The bandits are believed to be operating In two forces of about 30 men each, as Cumbre Is a hard day's ride from El Valle, near Casas Grandes, where 22 of the robbers were captured and shot last Tuesday. The other detachment, believed to be under Castillo himself, did the wrecking, probably In revenge for the fate of his men at El Vllle. He cap tured a train of stock cars Wednes day and ran it Into the tunnel, where it was set on fire. The tunnel was ablaze that evening when the passenger train from Juarez was captured and sent headlong into the roaring tunnel furnace, which was belching flames and smoke from Its mouth. Castillo then destroyed two neigh boring bridges, one of them construct ed of steel, and ran two locomotives over the embankment into a deep canyon. Aroused to a high pitch of anger by the capture of American railroad offi cials and trainmen by Maximo Cas tillo's bandits, posses are being formed in the Guerrero district to assist the rebels In running down the bandits. The posse Is reported to consist of cowboys from the Hearst ranch.

(Copyright) s FOUND GUILTY Murder in the First Degree the Verdict of the Jury. PENALTY DEATH IN CHAIR. "I Would Rather Die Tonight Than Tomorrow," He Says Coun el Undecided About Appeal. New York. Hans Schmidt was found guilty of murder In the first de gree for killing Anna Aumulier, a young woman be had married through a self-performed ceremony while act ing as a priest at St Joseph's Church. The ponalty for the crime is death In the electrlo chair at Sing Sing prison. He will be sentenced this week. Schmidt, whose defense was in sanity, laughed bitterly when the ver dict was pronounced. He had stead fastly declared himself guilty and at his arraignment before being held for the Supreme Court pleaded that he be punished by death. Later he protested against the insanity defense advanced by his counsel and said he would not assist them in any way if they pre pared an appeal. "I would rather die tonight than to morrow," he said. "It Is as It should be and as I wish It." This was the second trial and the jury was out a few minutes less than five hours. At the first trial the jury disagreed. Alienists for prosecution and defense supplied most of the testi mony at both trials. Schmidt's coun sel hoped that if he was not acquitted on the grounds of mental unsoundness the degree of guilt fixed by the jury would be second degree murder; for the jurors, sending out for Instructions shortly after retiring, were informed by Justice Vernon M. Davis that they could if they wished pronounce a ver dict less severe than death. A. G. Koelble, of Schmidt's counsel, asserted after the verdict that owing to the former prleBt's persistent si lence concerning the crime It had not been possible to place all the facts be fore the Jury. He said Schmidt was not guilty of murder, but had shielded a physician after the woman's death. She was not murdered, the lawyer de clared. If the police would display energy, he said, they could get at the truth. The lawyer was undecided whether he would take an appeal. Father Schmidt will never go to the electric chair," he added. Anna Aumuller's body was cut up with a knife in Schmidt's fiat on Sep tember 2 and the pieces, in several bundles, were tossed into the Hudson river, where most of them were found before suspicion was directed against Schmidt. The head was never re covered. Schmidt in his confession to the police said he was commanded to make "a sacrifice" of the Aumulier girl's life by his patron, St Elizabeth. ECUADOR IS REVOLTING AGAIN.
