Chicago. July 3.-Comptroller Eckeis and
Mr.. Robbins, head of the suund-Inoney move
ment in Chicago while at the Palmer House
this morning. supervising the decorations OF
the hall on the parior floor, which will be
used as sound-money headquarters, were
met by a representativeof of tue United Press.
1t was Cleyeland's headquarters four years
ago, which fact Mr.. Eckels recalled.
You ought TO be able to organize sue

1T has the prestige of a good history

afraid it isn't possible to organize sue
cessfuily against existing conditions, Ell.
Eckels?" and the Comptroller nodded a
melancholy acquiescence. 1T looks more
like a funeral than anything else,' contin-
ued Robbins.
..There is some talk that the silver
men have decided to make platform
consisting OF but single plank, declaring
in the briefest terms for the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver at the ratio of
16 to L. As to this, Senator Cockerell of
Missouri said:
You can hear ten thousand schemes
Just as wild as that. Nobody knows what
the platform is going to be, and nobody
can know in the absence of those author
lied to speak-the committee on resolu-
tions."
Comptroller Eckels said, when this report
was mentioned to him., IF that should be
done there would be the most disa ppointed
crowd of people here ever asse mbled.
There is nothing political, moral or social
that some one does not propose to relieve
by declaration regarding it. But the
platform isn't of SO much interest; what
remains to be seen is how the outrage is to
be perpetrated.,',

Came to His Wife's Defense.
Judge KimbaIl, in handling one of Judge
Miilers cases today, gave defendant,
Buddy Brown, rather severe sentence OF
six months in jail for aSsaulting William
Barnes. All parties concerned are co!ored.
Buddy Brown last night heard his wife on
the outside of his house crying, help!
MurderV'
Picking up loaded cane he rushed out
and saw Barnes holding his wife by the
arm. Without waiting to inquire what the
trouble was Brown struck Barnes over TIE
head several times. cutting his scalp and
.lrenching his shirt with blood. On the
stand this morning the prisoners wife
said she had an argument with Barnes and
the latter had threatened her, and fear
ing he would do her bodily harm she called
for her husband.
Barnes denied this statement, although
the woman acted as though she was telL
ing the truth. Lawyer Hewlett appeared
for Brown and asked the judge, under the
conditions of the assault, to impose light
fine.
six months in JAIL" snapped his honor
This sentence paralyzed the Defendant,
his wife and his lawyer.
"Surely, Judge said Hewlett, "you
will reduce that time. This man thought
his wife was going to be hurt. The assault
was not premeditated."
mo, sir; 1 will not reduce it, said the
Judge, CURLY. II was going to make it
year."
Hewlett threw up his hands in disgust and
walked out, followed by Browns wife.
Just as she reached the swinging doors she
gave a wild scream, tainted, and fell head
long into the arms OF Mike Flynn, who
caught her quickly before she hit the floor.
" or tho liyad
with her as, weak and trembling, she leaned
against the spike railings that seemed to
symbolic some of the sharpness OF the
Justice within, waiting to bid her husband u
last goodbye as he was marched from the
cells to the black maria.
