DROWNED IN DIN.
Speech of Turpie Could Hardly be
Heard.


Heard.
Senator Turpie suffers from palsy
and though most effective speaker in
the senate. his voice was inadequate in
such a vast hall. Besides he spoke
from manuscript. The galleries grew
noisy and he could hardly be heard
above the din. To add to the other I'M
fortunate circumstances, fireworks and
mortars were being fired outside the
Coliseum and these explosives added
to the disturbance To still further add
to the confusion many people had been
admitted without any sort of creden-
tials. They overfowed from the gal
ler1es into the pit and crowded along
the side aisles. 1t was estimated that
fully $4,000 people We're in the building
and nothing could be heard above the
1ndescribable hum of so many voices.
In vain Chairman Richardson cried
for order. In vain the police and as
slstant sergeant alarms charged the
a1sles. The crowds would neither bulge
nor be quiet. When at last Senator
Turpie mentioned the name of his can
didate, the Indiana delegation mounted
their chairs and cheered A few tin
horns sounded from the galleries and

delegate asked that the galleries be

threatened to clear them the galleries
only hooted. Then the seargeant-at-
arms held another threat over the
spectators. He announced that unless
the galleries preserved order the ses-
sion tomorrow would be held behind
closed doors and no one would be adj

He was nominated in the face of an adverse

was that the prairies were on fire with indig-

ing Sudden Deaths
Two Children AMI One Chinese the Victims.
Fell From a Porch-Biooi Poisoning
ana HydrocephaIous

Three inquests were held yesterday
by Coroner Campbell at the parlors of
Kregelo & Bresee, two upon the bod
les of children and the other upon
Chinese. Two of the deaths were from
natural causes, the third accidental.
Quan Chez, a coolie farm laborer, SO
years old, who had been in the
United States for twenty years, died
about / o'clock yesterday afternoon in
an Apablasa street shack in the Chinese
quarter from the effects of blood pois-
oning, after terrible suffering. About
ten days ago Chez was cutting up some
pork for cooking, when the meat slipped
and a sharp splinter Of bone scratched
the back of his hand Blood poisoning
set in almost Immediately. AS he had
no money to secure the services of a
physician. either of his own nationality
or an American, the disease was allowed
to run its course, resulting in death as
stated. The victims arm was swollen
to three times it's normal size. and the
skin had burst in several places from
the pressure. A verdict in accordance
with the facts was rendered by the jury.
A verdict of death from natural causes
was brought in in the case of Francisco
Valdez. Mexican child two years and
three months old, who died at its par
street, Boyle Heights, Saturday after
noon. The babe had been afflicted with
hydrocephalous or dropsy of the BRAIN
which had been the cause of death. An
inquest was necessary only because the
child had not had the attendance of a
physician during its illness.
The third case was a sad one, the vic
tim being a little boy named Ralph Da-
Wis three years and eight months old,
whose parents reside at the corner of
Jefferson and Waverly streets, Univer-
sity. Saturday afternoon the child was
playing on a second-story rear porch or
balcony, while in the yard below We're
several of his playmates. Little Ralph
climbed up on the porch railing and sat
on it, balancing himself and shouting
to his companions below to look a him.
Suddenly he pitched forward and fell.
to the ground, a distance of some twenty
feet, striking on his head. His skull
was fractured by the fall and he was
carried into the house in an unconscious
condition. He fingered until 11:50 at
night, when he expired, in spite of all
that could be done. The matter was re-
ported to the coroner yesterday morn

BAND CONCERT AT WESTLAKE

Snaiier CroW0S
"A good sized crowd turned out yester-
day afternoon at Westlake park and
showed evident appreciation of the fine
program rendered by the Seventh regi-
AAent band, under the leadership of
George Cam. Several encores were
demanded and accorded, rounding out a
most pleasurable program, as follows:
March, Columbian Guard, F. p.

alta (new), j. B. Leone; potpourri (pop-
ular songs of the day. arranged by F.

thnned the throng appreciably there
were still enough to crowd the walks
and every seat in the vicinity of the
band stand was occupied. The boatmen
did thriving business and the omni-
present small boy was there busily en-
gagged in fishing for the carp with
which the lake teens.
AT East Side park and the other city
pleasure grounds there was no special
attractions and but the usual Sunday
crowds turned out, spending the after
noon pleasantly reading in the shade
or strolling among the flower bordered
walks Those who happened to be among
the unfortunate who had to occupy
seats along the outer edge of Central

tribute to the character and reliability
OF Mr.. Rose by our worthy United States
senator, who has also expressed him
self as designing to support Mr.. Rose
under the impression that his friend.
Mr.. Patton, did not intend to be a candi-
date-the high encomiums of the Demo-
cratic journals upon the sterling worth
and reliability of Mr.. Rose, together
with the fact that he had pledged allie
glance to the national Democratic plat
form and all principles therein enunci-
ated, including emphatic opposition to
the funding bills, measure in which the
the people of this coast are especially
nterested-determined my conclusion
tnat would not stray from the interests
OF the people by relying on such evidence
and allowing my vote to be cast for him.

Mr.. Patton in the midst of the contest,
without other reason than the personal
friendship or preference of part of

departure from that rule of justice and
square dealing which should character

incident to all dishonorable acts. With

location of the consulate by the Mexi-

Some definite official word upon the
subject is expected to reach here from
the City of Mexico by way of San Fran

The irvine proxy was sent to him by

Mr.. Merritt claims that he has not, to
the present time, heard from Mr.. Irvine
