THE San JOSE TRAGEDY
Grief Over the Loss of Her Hair
Led to frankie Mars
Suicide.
Had Been Shorn of Her Tresses Because
She Went for a Ride With
a Youth.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July Am inquest to-
day over the body of frankie Marr, the
17-year-old girl who committed suicide
last evening at the Burke residence, near
Aiviso, developed the fact that the dis
grace felt at having her head shorn of its
wealth of hair because she went buggy
riding with young man led her to take
her life.
During the past ten days Mrs. M. A.
Burke, who had adopted the girl, had been
In San Francisco, and in her absence
frankie had gone for drive in the even
ing with young man named Herman
Berry, who is employed on the Wade
ranch, near by. When Mrs. Burke re-
turned last evening, she heard of the
girls action, and clipped her hair off
sho rt, and told her that she would keep
her in the house for at least month.
The girls hair was cnt so close in some
places that the scalp was almost bare.
The girl felt the disgrace so keeDly that
she went to her room and took dose of
carbolic acid. She was a native of Cali
fornia and II years OF age. She helped
with the housework about the Burke resi-
dence, and had been with the family about
three years. She was taken from an
orphans home in San Francisco.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict
of death from carbolic acid, taken with
suicidal intent. 1t also found that her
death might have resulted from grieving
for the mutilation OF her hair at the hands
uf her guardian.

to invoke all true Americans to assert it
by their votes and place their country
where it of right belongs, as the freest and
foremost Nation of the earth"
The extreme length OF Senator Daniels
speech weakened the attention paid to his
remarks, and during great part OF the
conversation In the halls and galleries al
most drowned his resonant voice. Only
when he uttered some recognized phrase,
such as Is to 1, was there any revival of
interest and applause. He closed by an
nouncing that the National Democratic
Convention was now In session and was
ready TO proceed to the business of or
ganization.
Immediately there arose cries of "Hilll'
from all parts of the hail. and the SER
geant-at-arms was called upon to restore
order.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas arose at this
juncture and offered resolutions of thanks
to Chairman Harrity, which were adopted,
for the manner in which he had dis
charged his duty as presiding officer.
Resolutions that the rules of the Fifty
third Congress govern the convention
until otherwise ordered were offered by
Senator White of California and adopted.
On motion of Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas
the roll was called to give each State and
Territory an opportunity to name its selec-
tions for the committees on credentials,
permanent organization, rules and order
of business and platform.
The loud cries of "Hilll' were renewed
before the question could be put, but the
New York Senator did not respond and the
call proceeded.
General E. B. Finley of Ohio, in behalf
of the contestants from South Dakota, en-
tered protest against any of the mem
bers whose names are now accredited to
South Dakota being appointed to serve
on committees. Chairman Daniel de-
cided, however, that the contests could be
decided only by reference to the commit
tee on credentials, and that the request of
the contestants could not be granted.
Congressman Sulzer of New York took
advantage of the interruption to offer his
Cuban plank (which was not ready, for
reference to the committee on resolu-
tions.
When the various committees had been
appointed the members withdrew for or
eanization, and the convention then, at
4:45 P. NJ, adjourned until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock

MURDER At 0AxDALE.
James Brady Shot and Instantly Killed BY
a Discharged Ranch EN-
pioye.

OAKDALE, CAL, July flames Brady,
a Iaborer on Eugene Threlfall's ranch, was
murdered here this evening by Peter Sims
melish. The two quarreIed on the ranch
this morning and Simsmelish was dis
charged. They met in town this evening
at hay camp, and Simsmelish, who car
ried shotgun, walked up to within ten
feet OF Brady and said
''Are you going TO take that backT'
Brady was slow in answering, and the
murderer leveled the gun and fired, the
charge taking effect in Brady's face and
breast. Brady staggered few feet away
and fell dead.
The murderer dashed away, but was
captured an hour later in an old barn. He
was brought to Oakdale. When CALL
correspondent interviewed him he was
very cool, and said he was glad he killed
Brady and would do it again if he could.
The murder had been planned by Sims
melish several hours before he met Brady,
as he had offered a storekeeper $50 for
gun and ammunition with which to COM
NIT the crime.

ARRESTED At WILLIAMS
Dick Miller Charged With Com
plicity in the Rumsey
Robbery.
Implicated by Confession Male by
Charles Stewart in the Wood.
land Jail.

WOODLAND, CAL, July 7.-Constable
Harrison OF Capay arrived in this city
late last night, having in custody Dick
Miller, whom he arrested on q ranch six
miles from Williams, Colusa County.
Miller is charged with being an accom-
plice OF Charles Stewart in the robbing of
the Rumsey postoffice last September.
Stewart was yesterday sentenced to ten
years imprisonment in San Quentin.
After Stewart received his sentence he
made a confession to District Attorney
Hopkins, which implicated Miller in the
robbery. ~
During Stewards trial George Miller.
his wife and several sons and daughters
tried to establish an alibi, in order to ac-
quit Stewart, who had been residing with
the Miller family near Guinda. Their
stories, II true, proved a complete alibi
Upon the conviction of Stewart his coun-
sci made a motion for a new trial, and
about month ago he began to fegn in
sanity In order to escape punishment, but
his efforts were futile. He came to the
conclusion that he had better give up and
receive sentence.
Stewart sent for the officers and told
them that he and Dick Miller robbed the
postoffice, and that the robbery was
planned at the Miller ranch. He said thew
first decided 10 rob the Williams express
office. but it was afterward learned that
the job could not be successfully carried
out.
The preliminary examination of Miller
will be held at Guinda tomorrow, and at
that time it is probable that all the mem
bers of the Miller family who endeavored
to establish an alibi for Stewart will be
placed under arrest. Stewards reason for
confessing is that he became angry at the
Miller family for ceasing to assist him in
getting out of trouble.

dustries from small beginnings, but that those
and all other industries flourish or languish
in proportion as protection is maintained or
Withdrawn. Ihave seen it itlndisputably proved
that the prosperity of the farmer, merchant
and all other classes of citizens goes hand in
hand with that of the manufacturer and me-
chanic.
of all is to remove the business paralysis that af
hicts this country by the restoration OF g.
policy which, while affording ample revenue
TO meet the expenses of the Government, will
reopen American workshops on full time and
full handed, with their operatives paid good
wages in honest dollars. And this can only
come under tariff which will hold the in
terests OF our own people paramount in our
political and commercial systems.
The opposite policy, which discourages
American enterprise, reduces American labor
to idleness, diminishes the earnings of Amer
lean workingmen, opens our markets to COM
modities from abroad which we should pro-
duce at home, while closing foreign markets
against our products, and which at the same
time steadily augments the public debt, in
creasing the public burdens while diminish
ing the abilit, of the people to meet them, is
policy which must find its chief popularity
elsewhere than among American citizens.
shall take an early opportunity, gentlemen
OF the committee, through you to communi-
cate to my fellow-citizens with somewhat
more of detail my views concerning the domi-
nant questions of the hour and the crisis
which confrorts US rs Nation.
With this brief expression of my apprecia-
tion of the distinguished honor that has been
bestowed upon me and this signiication OF my
acceptance of the trust to which have been
summoned place myself at the service of the
Republican party aud of the country.
CANTON, ONO, July 7.--Major McKin-
ley received the press report of the Chicago
convention at his house to-day, and was
much interested in the story. He was also
deeply interested in Hon. Garret A. Ho-
bart's speech to the notification committee,
and the reading of it plainly gave him
satisfaction. Mr.. Hobart's speech was
much commented on here and the opinions
expressed concerning it were of compli-
mentary nature.

Thteres at Del Monte.

DEL MONTE, CAL, July THE cash
ier's Office of the Del Monte and Pacific
Grove Street Railway was robbed to-day.
On account of the pressure Business Ma n
ager John Malarin instructed the cashier,
Charles Meter to work outside the office
as far as the first switch. In the cashiers
absence the office was entered, the money
drawer broken and $40 in cash stolen. This
is supposed to be the work of thieves from
San Francisco who flooded the town. The
pockets of hundreds were picked during
the day and it is feared tonight that
many crimes may be committed before
morning by the undesirable visitors from
the metropolis.
