Going Into the National Democratic Fight
Says C. vey Holman.

HEADQUARTERS of the National Demo

support from the Democrats unless the
national committee demonstrates by its
actions that the emovement is not III any

defined his policy. today. by saying:
The first attack | shall make on the
Chicago platform will not be on its
revolutionary character, but its irregu-
lar features. The strong argument to
vote for Bryan that has been urged on
Democrats is that the convention was
regular 1t was irregular from the
time Senator Hill was supplanted for
temporary chairman by Senator Daniel.
Then fraud entered into the convcn-
tion. proceeding with the unseatinS Of
the gold delegates from Michigan.
Correspondence received at head
quarters shows that the eyes of Dem

doing very irregular things in fusing
with the Populists, silver Republicans
and any old thing which is calculated

learned. Mrs. Mead, president of the

ANOTHER HOLMES CASE.
Mysterious Death Of a Girl and Arrest Of
Chicago Physician.

Chicago, H.. Sept. 27.-Startlng de.
velopments surrounding the mysteriou.
death Of Emma Bartels at the home o.
DR.. G. ~. Winters No 10S South Cali
fornia avenue, September 10, resulted
Friday, in the arrest of the physician
on the charge Of murder and his indct.
ment by the grand jury.
Lieutenant Beard, Of the Warner
avenue police station, says that the evi-
dence now in the possession of the 20.
lice bids fair to develop conditions in
the California avenue house similar tc
those of the Holmes castle. in Engle-
wood.
Since the death of Emma Bartels
annoyance letters have been coming to
the police and the girls relatives bear
ing upon the alleged criminal practices
OF Or. Winters. In them he was charged
with crime, and the names of some OF
his supposed victims were signed to the
missives. The police have found two
young women who entered Dr. Winters
home under similar conditions. il is
supposed, as Miss Bartels did, and il
was upon their testimony before the
grand jury that the indictment was re-
turned.
one Of these is Tilly Taddy. who lives
at No. 80 West fwcnty-sixth street,
and the other is Bertha Clayton, an in
mate Of the Industrial School for Girls
in Evanston. When their experiences
with DR.. Winters were related to the
police Lieutenant Beard made formal
charges against the physician before
the grand jury for the murder of Emma
Bartcls.
Miss Bartcl5 was found in dying
condition in the house on the night of
September i0.under mysterious circum-
stances. She had gone to Dr. Winters
house in search Of employment. 1t has
also been learned by the police that Dr.
Winters has taken young girls from the
employment bureaus in the city.
1t is probable that the body of Emma
Baricls win he exhumed, as Foreman
Dwycr, Of the grand jury said he would
suggest 10 that body the passage of a
resolution asking that this be done
1t il desired that physicians examine
Tie body for the purpose Of deciding

jectcd before death.
