Wllkes-BaiTC, P.i.. Oct. IT. In ac
cordance with the rail issued yesterday
by order of the executive boaids of the
anthracite districts of the miners' union
nil "locals" thioughout the coal Held
begun electing delegates today to the
convention which will lie held here
next Monday to consider the acceptance
or rejection of the arbitration plan sub
mitted by President Roosevelt. Most
nt the local unions held their meetings
tonight. They all will have been elect
id by tomorrow night. It Is practical
ly certain that a majority of the dele
sates will come to the convention In
structed to vote in favor of accepting
the aibltratlon scheme. The promin
ent olllcials of the union say there Is
no fear that the opposition will be
strong enough to defeat the efforts of
those who favor ending the strike by
arbitration of their differences with the
operators. President Mitchell does not
care to anticipate the action of the
convention, but from "his manner It Is
taken that he has not the slightest
doubt as to the result. lie will go Into
the convention and make a strong
speech for acceptance of the arbitra
tion scheme.
The Indications are the convention
will last two' days and that there will
be much debate on various features of
the arbitration plan. The conditions at
some collieries are different from those
existing at other places. The principal
questions to be discussed before the
Ulan if accepted by the mlneis will be
that of taking care of all the men.
The condition of the mines are such
that all workmen cannot be given work
Immediately, and some will have to
wait for weeks before the companies
can take care of them. The operators
will not dismiss the non-union men In
order to give employment to a return
ing striker. It is undei stood that the
union will take care of all such men
who fall to lind immediate employ
ment. This will be done by drawing funds
from the relief fund, which Is said to
be still growing.
Quiet at Headquarters.
In contrast to the animated scenes
during the past week, strike headquar
ters was an extremely quiet place to
day. Piosidetit Mitchell had nothing to
say regarding the situation, except to
say that there remains little to do but
wait for the action of the convention.
He had few callers and spent the entire
day In his office. The district presi
dents and the other district otllcers te
lurned to their homes for the purpose
of assisting in the election of the dele
gates to the convention.
The i mil companies will do all in
their power to meet the public de
mand for coal. Preparations for re
suming as soon as the miners call the
strike 1 1 if are going mi apace. It Is
estimated that L'.'i per cent, of the col
lieries will bo In operation the first
day after the suspension Is over. The
railroads are also making every effort
to have enough curs on hand to carry
the freshly-mined coal to market and
are sending thousands of cars into this
regions and placing them on sidings at
the collieries.
The state troops are having an easy
time of It. and are expecting to hear
of the withdrawal of a portion of tho
division at any day. Major fleueral
Miller and llrlgadler tieneral Oobln re
fuse to predict when the homeward
movement of the soldiers will begin, it
Is not unlikely that the entire division

progress, five months or restricted
fuel production had begun to check the
wheels at many manufacturing' centres,
while there was a perceptible diminu
tion In consumptive demands as tho
purchasing power of the wage earners

exhausted and much money has gone
out of the country because sof this
struggle, but the nation's remarkably
strong position assures a speedy restor

Inadequate supplies or fuel caused

William C. Turner, Charged with
Shortage of Accounts, Opens Fire
on Men Who Demand Restitution,
Threat of Criminal Prosecution
Made Him Desperate Albert Ham
ilton, of Pittsburg, and William J.
Mallard, Jr., the Victims A Triple
Tragedy In Wall Street District.
By Ktclinl'.r Wire from The AmocIiIciI Prem.
Xew York, Oct. 17. Using a new au
tomatic magazine pistol, William C.
Turner, former president and treasurer
or the Climax Rattling compnny, today
shot and Instantly killed W. J. Mallard,
secretary and treasurer of the com
pany, and Robert Hamilton, Its presi
dent, and then killed himself with tho
siime weapon. A second revolver, load
ed la every chamber, was found In Tur
ner's pocket, and It Is believed bo
planned to take more lives than he did.
The shooting was the result of a quar
rel between the three men over an al
leged shortage In Turner's accounts, tor
which he was threatened with criminal
prosecution. The tragedy occurred In
the otllces of the law firm of Canton,
Adams & Mclntyre, in the heart of the
Wall street district, during the busy
noon hour. Turner, who was 4." years
of age and Jived at .Mount Vernon, X.
Y., a suburb or this city, was a cousin
of Covernor Odell, of tills state, and
the head of the law llrm hi whose offices
the shooting occurred Is President Can
tor, of the boiough of Manhattan. Soon
after the shots rang out In the olllce
building, a wild rumor was started that
the boiough president had been killed.
All of the principals in the tragedy
were married. Mallard was 34 years of
age, a native or Atlanta, where he was
well known In business and social cir
cles. He was president of the Young
Men's Democratic club there. lie had
been 'in tills city about four years, and
lived with his wire and two children In
an uptown flat. Mr. Hamilton lived In
Plttslnug, where he was president of
the .1. T. and A. Hamilton glass fac
tories. He was about 00 years or age.
He arrived iu this city yesterday, In
response to a telegram from Turner re
ceived In Pittsburg, which said:
".Meet me in Xew York, Friday, and
I will settle with you."
The three men met In the law offices
by appointment to allow Turner to
make a partial settlement, and he was
asked for a certified check.
"1 have it." he said, and then he
closed the door of the room. An in
stant later he drew a revolver and be
gan firing. Mallard fell, shot through
the heart, and Hamilton lived only a
few moments. A number of other per
sons who were In the room, clerks and
members of the firm, fled in a panic.
After killing Hamilton and Mallard,
Turner shot himself in the head. Some
minutes later, hearing no more shots,
the persons who lied ventured back into
the room and found the three bodies.
Turner's Accounts Short.
Turner retired as president of the
Climax Uottling company last April
when he was bought out by Hamilton.'
After the sale It was discovered. In
examination of the books of the con
cern that there was a shortage or
$.",100 In Turner's accounts. The Climax
company engaged John F. Mclntyre,
former assistant district attorney and
M. Goodman, both of the llrm In whose
olllce the shooting occurred today to
effect a settlement with Turner and
he engaged Hdgar Leventritt to repre
sent his Interests. Some dlfllculty had
been met with In the negotiations which
followed between the lawyers but It
was finally agreed to uct-opt $2,700 and
give Turner a release in full. Last
night It was agreed that the settlement
should take place In the offices of
Cantor, Adams and Merntyre today be
fore 11 o'clock, Hefore he left the con
ference Inst night Turner anxiously
asked that .Mr, Mclntyre he present at
today's meeting and Mr, Mclntyre has
said slnco the shooting that he did not
like Turner's manner yesterday as the
latter seemed. In his opinion, to hear
himself recklessly am with the de
meanor of a man who might do almost
any desperate act.
At the appointed hour today, Turner
with his Inwyers.entered the law offices,
Mr, Goodman ushered Turner nnd his
lawyers Into the private office of Mr.
Adams. Leventritt, It Is said, told
Turner to remain outside. Turner re
fused, saying that lie wanted In close
tho matter at once. Turner Immediate
ly after entering nsked for Mr. Mc
lntyre and showed anger when told he
would not bo at tho conference.
Negotiations for a settlement began
at once, Mr. Hamilton, Mallard and
Cioodmaii and Adams being1 present
besides Turner and his attorney. The
conference iit llrst was in the (Inn's
general offices, hut later Mallard asked
to seo Mr. Adams and Mr. Hamilton
in Adams' private olllce. Turner hav
ing refused certain propositions, While
the conference In the private ofllce was
going on Turner walked in. His law
yer asked him for his check to be used
In the settlement and Turner said.
"Yes, I'll let you have It."
Panic Follows Shooting.
Then Turner closed the dor of the
.ufllce. Ho was fucliij; Mr. Mallard,
who had askeiPhlm for the check. An
Instant after he had shut tho door, he
drew a revolver and, pointing it at
Mallard, said. "I will kill you, you ."
Then he fired two shots at .Mallard.
Instantly there wus a wild scramble
on the part of the others in the room.
All except Hamilton dashed for tho
door, hut Hamilton, when Turner tired,
sprung at him to grapple. Turner was
too quick for him, however, and, drop
ping his weapon to a level with his
victim's breast, fired. There is no wit
ness to what followed. -Mr. Levlntrltt
at the first appearance of the revolver,
rushed out of the room, Cloodmnn fol
lowed Leventritt, and Adams Jihnpcd
to his feet as soon us Mallard was
shot, brushed past Turner and got out
or the olllce. As they left, two more
shots were lieurd, followed by two
heavy falls. There was consternation
in the olllcj;. Clerks, boys and several
women employes were for a few
minutes later too frightened to do any
thing. When pei sons connected with the law
offices ventured back Into tho room,
they found the three bodies lying close
together.
On Turner's body was found an un
signed telegram reading:
"Telepone message received. Will
accept $2,700 either from Hamilton or
Mallard."
Light on the Case.
On Turner's corpse the coroner also
found a certified check for $2,700. The
hitter Is regarded as throwing a pecu
liar light on the case, for it is thought
to Indicate that Turner went to the
offices with the probable Intention of
paying the sum of money which was
to have settled tin- difficulty. If he did
Intend to pay, It is argued, he changed
his mind suddenly and decided to kill.
Kdgar AV. Leventritt, who was Tur
ner's counsel in the affairs preceding
the tragedy and who was present In
the room at the time the shooting be
gan, made a statement tonight In which
he defended Turner against the charge
that he was a. defaulter. "Mr. Turner,"
he said, "was not a defaulter. He did
not criminally misappropriate the funds
of the Climax Bottle company."
According to Mr. Leventritt, Turner
had originally put up $3,00o In cash. Ills
overdrafts amounted to $2,800, leaving
$2,200, practically or which remained as
the value or his holdings. Hamilton
offered $2,000 for Turner's share, which
the latter accepted and the deal was
closed. Turner believed that this trans
action relieved him of all connection
with the company and closed all ac
counts. Asked why Turner had been
prevailed upon to agree to giving up a
check for $2,700 to settle with Hamil
ton and Mulhml, Mr. Leventritt said:
"Turner was inlluenced by the fact,
as I am Informed, that he was expect
ing a political appointment, which
would ho made impossible If the least
hint of Irregularity, however unfound
ed, should he made against him."
The body of Turner was tonight taken
to his late home at Mount Vernon.
