WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The atten-

to the interview of Thomas Dolan, pub
lished in Philadelphia this morning, he
said:
sMy views upon the connection be-
tween business and politics were men
toned in a speech at q Republican
meeting in Pittsburg a few days pre-
vious to the presidential election. 1
am opposed to the entire scheme of
the National Business Mems league,
as disclosed by Mr.. Dolan. Its basic
theory is that organized wealth shall
dictate high office and so take posses
sion of the government. 1t will be met
as stubobrnly and overthrown as dis
astrously as Organism. Bryan invoked
the masses against the classes. The
promoters of this league invoke class
against the masses and all other class
es. No league of business men, or other
men, based upon wealth or other foun-
dation, can erect a governing class in
this country. In the United States SEN

for a short time, stepped into the
toilet room. In a few minutes, tne
people in the barber shop heard a
shot and cries of help" They rusheo
into the toilet room and found Drew
groaning on the floor with his arms
hugeing his abdomen and exclaiming,
go get some one; I'm shot" A physl-
cian was summoned Immediately, but
before he arrived the unfortunate man
was dead.
Examination brought to light smok-
ing revolver, 80 caliber, and Of the
cheapest kind; one of those death deal
ing instruments that go off at the
least provocation. A hole through the
pocket, which was burned and smoked
from the explosion, showed that the
weapon had been discharged in his
pocket, purely accidentally. The bull
let had entered the front of the abdo-
men, going upward, and no doubt
reached a lodging place in the region
of the heart. From papers found on
the body, the idenity Of the man was
discovered.
Mr.. Drew was known as a quiet,
temperate man, and there is not the
least doubt but that the shot was ac-
cidental. Coroner Kistler was sum-
moned, and after a hasty examination
and questioning Of the persons who
first reached the body, had the remains
removed to the county morgue.
Mr. Drew was about fifty-fve years
of age, leaves a wife and child about
seven years old. His father-in-law is
William S. Flemming, POI Harvard
street southeast. He has several
brothers, one being the late William s.
Drew, of Winona. Mr.. Drew was en-
gagged in the elevator business several
years ago, at Bristol S. D. Since then
| he has been travelling for different
| grain firms in Minneapolis, among
| these being Martin & Wyman, Kirk,
Bride & Palmer, and F. H. Peavey &
! Co. He was quite well-known among
! the grain men, although not mem
ber of the chamber of commerce. For
some time past he has been without
employment, but his friends say that
he was not discouraged and always
appeared pleasant and cheerful sell
] dom complaining of the hard times
! although he did say several times that
| be would like to sell his home on Oak
street. His friends are surprised, how
ever that he should be carrying a
! revolver, as he was never known to
do such a thing, and as for taking his
life, he had a horror Of that.
