WOMAN KILLS
CUTS BODY TO
'ASSOCIATED press dispatch
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 22. Mrs.
Mary Pamias, who confessed to the
police on Wednesday that she killed
Michael Weinstein, a crippled peddler,
in her apartment on Tuesday night,
made a second confession in which
she said she killed the man on Mon
day night, and secreted the body so
her husband knew nothing of the
crime, and cut the body to pieces
the following day.
The husband and his wife slept
that night in the bedroom where the
peddler's body was hidden in a box
couch. The woman said she killed
Weinstein because he threatened to
show- certain letters to her husband.
The police said they believed she
of the national defense: the restoration
of the American flag to the oceans; and
organization to market our wares in
the world markets."
"We must not only have our own
Fhips," Fairbanks continued, "but we
must establish ample banking facilities
at strategic points on both hemispheres
so as to affect creditors more and
more through our own agencies and to
extend credits." We must send young
men to different countries to learn the
language of. the people and learn their

we are to win new trade we must do
business as others desire it rather than
to try and force upon them our

Music. With Meals is Latest
Innovation at the Relief
Kitchen in Clifton and is
.Likely to Be Adopted at
Met calf and Moreno i
By Ernest Douglas
(Special Representative of The Re
publican.) CLIFTON. Ariz., Oct. 22. Music
with meals is the latest innovation at
the relief kitchen maintained by the
strikers in Clifton. During the even
ing meal today an orchestra com
posed of striking Mexican miners held
forth at the Union restaurant. Sin
gle men now being boarded there en
joyed steak and potatoes to the
strains of "Aloha" and "La Paloma."
To the syncopated rhythm of a
Charlie Chaplin walk the married
men jauntily bore sacks of flour and
parcels of beans and beef from the
relief depot opposite. The orchestra
promised to play frequently at meal
time. The plan may be adopted at
Metcalf and Morenci as many of the
strikers are excellent musicians.
Word has gone forth from the ex
ecutive committee that every striker
not a member of some committee
must do his share of picket duty.
Heretofore anyone who wished to do
so could evade the monotony of
picketing. Most of the work was
done by Mexicans. Orders were given
that with each party of pickets there
must be two or three Americans.
B. F. Spriggs, chief clerk to Man
ager Bennie of the Shannon Copper
Company toduy confirmed the rumor
that all office men had been removed
from the Shannon payroll. No em
ploye is now drawing pay from the
Shannon except two or three men in
the electric light plant at Metcalf.
The windows and doors of the com
pany buildings have been boarded. A
number of the office force is being
maintained at the Duncan refugee
colony but none is receiving pay. The
strikers regard this as another sign
that the companies never expected
the EI I'aso conference to have any
result. They expect the Arizona and
Detroit companies to take similar ac
tion. Joseph 11. Myers today notified the
executive committee he would arrive
in Clifton next week, not to make a
federal investigation but as a repre
sentative of the conciliation bureau
of tho department of labor. The
question of ordering an investigation
has been passed up to Washington.

was roused to a confession probably
to secure the release of her husband,
John Pamias. a 'street railw ay motor
man. He has been held pending the
investigation.
The woman's new story reconciled
several conflicting statements, the
facts of which puzzled the police.
They doubted the ability of the slen
der woman to chop to pieces the body
in the time she said. In her second
statement, Mrs. Pamias said after the
murder she hid the body in the box
couch in her bedroom and kept the
knowledge of her crime from her
husband. On Tuesday, she said, she
cut up the body, wrapped the pieces
in a newspaper, and placed them
back in the couch.
In the meantime she- rented another
apartment two blocks away where
she intended to send a newly pur
chased trunk with the body in it. On
Tuesday night she informed her hus
band and tried to induce him to
flight. She said her husband spent
the night convincing her it would be
better to surrender to the police.

tary Lansing and members of the
Latin-American diplomatic corps on
Mexican affairs and makes a full report
of the negotiations with Carranza. It
is understood that he will discuss the
border situation with Carranza. In
addition o strengthening thev border
forces, the government took steps to
institute a vigorous inquiry into the
origin and cause of the raids.
The president conferred with Attor
ney General Gregory, who is preparing
to send a squad of agents of the de

retary Garrison has ordered the twenty-eighth
infantry from Galveston to
Harlington and another regiment is
being held in readiness for immediate
service. Officials are convinced that
the Carranza authorities are not con

anxious to stop them. It is believed
that influences on the American side
had much to do with the conspiracy
and cause of the troubfe.
Regarding the case of General Huer

THREE ARE
Making their way to Phoenix In
the early morning hours and thread
ing the narrow drive along the bank
of the Grand canal, three-fuarters
of a mile off the Tempe road at 4
o'clock yesterday morning, a party
of St. Louis tourists, consisting of
.Tared P. Spalding, a large stock
holder of the Liggett & Myers To
bacco Company, of Duke's Mixture
fame, Mrs. Spalding, and Harry Jor
dan, chauffeur, narrowly missed
death when their car plunged from
the road and landed bottom side up
in the canal. All are more or less
seriously injured and are being
cared for at a private hospital on
East McKinley street.
It was still dark when the ma
chine bearing the party, was turned
along the canal road. The lights of
the machine were in good working
order, but an especially narrow place
in the road confused Jordan who
was driving and tht car plunged into
the water. It landed sufficiently to
the further side to throw Mrs. Spal
ding on the opposite bank. She was
severely injured, particularly about
the race and head. Her husband
sustained a fracture of the left arm,
and Jordan, being thrown against
the steering wheel, was so badly in
jured about the chest that hem

continued all of yesterday.
Another car. in which were George
Lapalm. of San Diego, and Fred

distance behind. The occupants

car and were soon on hand engaged

The British Foreign Office
Makes Public Report of
British Chaplain Who Vis

Execution in Germany
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl
LONDON, Oct. 22. The British for
eign office has made public the report
of Rev. Gahan, the British chaplain at
Brussels, who visited Edith Cavell be
fore her execution. Also a letter from
Brand Whitlock, the American minister
to Belgium, to Ambassador Page, which
says he had requested that the body of
Miss Cave!' be delivered to the school
of nurses, of which she was the di
rectress. His request was referred to
the ministry of war in Berlin. Ga
han's report said that he found Miss
Cavell calm and resigned. She was not
in fear nor was she shrinking. She said
she had seen death so often that it was
not strange nor fearful to her.
Gahan's report said: "Monday even
ing on the eleventh of October, I was
admitted on a special passport from
the German authorities to the prison at.
St. Gilles where Miss Cavell was con
fined for ten weeks. Finally the sen
tence was given early in the afternoon.
To my astonishment and relief, I found
my friend perfectly calm and resigned.
This did not lessen the tenderness nor
intensity of feeling during the last in
terview of an hour. She said she
wished all her friends to know how
willingly she gave her life for her coun
try. She said T have no fear or shrink

injured persons as comfortable as

placed in Lapalm's car and rushed
to the residence of Dr. Redewill. who
took them to the McKinley street
hospital.
That all were not killed in the
wreck of the car or drowned by be
ing pinned down under the car is
considered remarkable. The road
along the canal is one that has to
be taken very cautiously even in
the daytime, and just why the
party attempted to negotiate it in
the dark is not known.
Dr. Redewill stated last evening it
will be some time before any of
the three will be able to leave the
hospital. Mrs. Spalding and Jordan
are the most seriously injured.

football season has just crossed the

dangerous stages of play. By an un

to meet opponents capable of giving

the Princeton-Dartmouth game at
Princeton; the Pennsylvania-Pittsburg

Cornell goes to Harvard for the elev
