DEMOCRATS WANT SILVER,

But They Will Not Provide Room for Its
Storage in the Mints.
Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
WASHINGTON. April 17.-One of the gross
est instances of false economy and one
that should disgust all decent business
men is found in the refusal of the present
House. led by Holman. Of Indiana. to pro-
vide sufficient vault-room at the mints 1t
is lamentable fact that the mint at Phila-
delphia has become SO crowded that gold
and silver is being piled up in the corners
of the building. Every available foot of
ground down 10 the sub-cellar, many feet
below the surface of the earth. has been
excavated and she'll vaults put in for stor-
ing gold and silver. especially the latter.
If such q thing was possible nywhere it
would be comparatively easy to burglarlZe
the Philadelphia mint. for silver is actual
ly being piled up IN out of-the-way places.
The same condition is reported from San
Francisco and other places having large
mints. The Democrats insist upon the
coinage of silver in hundreds of millions
beyond the limit OF practical use and then
refuse storage-room for it. In several
places ii is q burden and the government
Is constantly running risks from bank rob-
bers and pilferers. Should there be big

cheese parers would doubtless raise a howl
and try 10 saddle the responsibility upon

has long demanded more vault-Ioom.

Sc FOR WAGON WHEAT
AGREED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
One Succeeded and the Other Tried, but
Failed to Fulfil the Contract

CHICAGO. April 17.-Casper Casel aud
William Spania. two German Iaborers, en-
tered into an agreement Saturday evening
to commit suicide. That both seriously in
tended to carry ont their compact needs no
body now lies in the morgue and Spania
may not recover from the wounds inflicted
by his own hand. Casel boarded with Con-
rad Sanders. of No. 2706 Emerald avenue.
This morning when Sanders went to Caseps
room TO wake him up he found
his boarder lying on the bed,
stone dead. with bullet-hole in his right
temple and revolver in his clenched hand.
The police were notified to have the body
removed. 1t was learned that Casel had
recently received letter from Germany
informing him of the death of his father.
who. according to the statements of the
deceased. was a man of some prominence
and wealth. The news was q great shock
TO the son. whose grief seemed intense.
Five hours after Casel's dead body was
found the police were notified Of Spanias
attempt TO kill himself In n saloon on
South Halsted street. Spalia was found
in the saloon with several gashes in his
neck. having tried to cut his throat with a
pocket-knife. When taken to the station
he begged the officers to shoot him.
After his wounds were dressed he
was prevailed upon to explain his
attempt to kill himself. He said
that he and his wife had not lived happily
together. and a week ago they had sep
arated for good. He became despondent
and resolved to kill himself. Since that
time he had been drinking heavily. He
met Casel by chance. but they became fast
friends on the strength Of both having been
born at Luxembourg. They confided TO
each other their troubles, and Saturday
evening they made q solemn agreement to
commit suicide together. and bought re-
yolver, the arrangement being that Casel
should shoot Spania through the head and
then kill himself. This plan was afterw ard
changed. and IL was decided that each
should take his own life. Caeel went to hi q
room with the revolver and carried out his
part of the contract. Spanias wounds are
serious. but there is o probability that he
will recover.
