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 wants and whims and prejudices. If we are to win new trade we must do business as others desire it rather than to try and force upon them our methods." WAG W Commissioner from Labor Department Promises to Visit Clifton Next Week, But Not to Conduct Fed eral Investigation THAT IS PASSED UP TO WASHINGTON 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.

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.

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 partment of justice to the scene. Sec 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 nected with the disturbances, and are 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 ta. who is now held prisoner at Fort Bliss, the Attorney General said he ex pected evidence would be laid before the grand jury within the next few weeks in an effort to obtain an indict ment on the charge of attempting to violate the neutrality laws of the Unit ed States.

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 orrhages immediately ensued and continued all of yesterday. Another car. in which were George Lapalm. of San Diego, and Fred Friedmann, a trained nurse, from Ocean Pe.rk, was following a short distance behind. The occupants witnessed the plunge of the Spalding car and were soon on hand engaged in rescuing the three.

MISS CAVELL MET DEATH BRAVELY The British Foreign Office Makes Public Report of British Chaplain Who Vis ited Woman Before Her 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.

Then the three were 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.
