DEMOCRATS OF MASSACHUSETTS
State Convention Will Be Held at
Boston Today.

Boston, Sept 20.-The declination of
the two men who headed last year S
Democratic ticket. Alexander B. Bruce
of Lawrence and Edward ]. Slattery of
South birmingham. to run again this
year was the sensation of the prelimi-
nary gathering of the Dem ocrats for
the state convention, which will be
held here tomorrow
Tonight it was announced that Rob-
ert T. Payne, jr., of this city had con-
sented to head the ticket, but there
was quite a contest for second place,
with no agreed candidate at late
hour.
The committee on resolutions had
practically a continuous session from
early in the afternoons until late to-
night. Enough of the platform is
known to show that it will endorse Will
liam Jennings Bryan and the Chicago
platform. 1t will denounce trusts, i'm
perialism and expansion.
One of the resolutions of the plat
form submitted to the committee and
subsequently killed, denounced Aguin-
aldo as a traitor and repudiated his
statement that he had the sympathy of
the Democratic party. The same reso-
luton also demanded that the Philip
pines be given territorial government,
subject to the inhabitants taking the
oath of allegiance.

SUICIDE OF MAX HERMANN
TRAGIC DEATH OF A YOUNG
MAN AT PARK CITY.
Had An Incurable Disease and Could
Not Marry = So He Preferred
Death to Life and Killed Himself.
Special to The Herald.l

Park City, Sept. 20.-Max Hermann, a
Salt Laker, who has been in the en-
ploy of the M. S. Aschheim Mercantile
company for the past ten days, COM
mitted suicide at the Utah house last
evening by taking strychnine. He went
to work as usual after supper last
night, and about 8 o'clock, left the store
without saying word to anyone, and
that was the last seen of him until
found dead in his room this morning.
Early in the evening he went to the
City Drug store and wanted some
Paris green, but the druggist not
having the kind desired, the deceased
said strichnine would do, as he wanted
to kill some mice that were annoying
him. After purchasing the poison he
chatted pleasantly, and as far as out
ward indications were concerned, was
the last person in the world one would
have thought was contemplating SELF
destruction. He left the following
note addressed to Miss Hirshvogel of
Salt Lake, a young lady to whom he
was engaged, and who has been visit
ing in the Park since Sunday:
Dear Title: / called to see you this
evening, but you were not at home. 1
always loved you and love you still
/ cannot marry you, because I have an
incurable disease. I want peace and
qulet-something | have not had for
ten years Good bye and God bless
you. MAX.
1 leave all my effects to you.
AT o'clock an inquest was held over
the remains by Police Justice Lock
hart. After listening to testimony of
w. e. Boyd, the druggist who sold the
poison, Policeman Walden and George
H. Hirschvogel, the verdict was rem
deTed that Max Hermann came to his
death on Sept. 10, by means of poison
administered with suicidal intent
The jurors were H. S. Townsend,
Henry Sares and c. B. Blanchard.

about 80 years of age. He is mem

Rennes. France, Sept. 2O.-Captain
Alfred Dreyfus at o'clock this morn
ing left the prison he. in which he
had been confined since his return from
Devils island. and proceeded to vern,
where he took a train bound for Nam
tes His departure was completely I'M
noticed.
NJ. viguer, the chief of the secret
service, and NJ. Dureault arrived at the
prison after midnight, bringing the
minister Of wars order for the release
of Dreyfus. The latter walked from
the prison to the Boulevard la Enne,
where he entered a waiting carriage
and was driven to the Vern station,
outside the town. Matthew Dreyfus met
him at the train and accompanied him
TO Nantes.
While this dramatic turn in the Drey-
fus drama was taking place, all Rennes
slept, and the departure of the famous
prisoner of DEVILS island was no more
noticed than that of an ordinary tray
eler.
The carriage which was then waiting
was the same vehicle which took Drey-
fus to his prison when he returned from
Devils island. Dreyfus got in opposite
the house where Maitre Labor had
stayed previous to the attempt upon
ms Ire, ana a1Snled aDoul 5OO yardS
from the station and walked in, regard
less of the d1.izzling rain.
The Nantes train came in just as he
arrived. Alfred and Matthew Dreyfus
quickly took their seats and the train
went out of Rennes, bearing Dreyfus
away, a free man.
A small crowd of people had waited
at the prison until midnight, expecting
the release of Dreyfus, but it then Dis
persed, thinking It was too late Tor
Dreyfus TO leave.
Nine, Dreyfgs left Rennes at noon,
accompanied by her father and friends.

THE REVOLT IN VENEZUELA

Washington, Sept. 20.-The following
cablegram has been received at the

-'HEMPHILL."
The officials here are expecting de-
ciSive results in the Venezuela conflict
at any moment, sfor the government
and revolutionary forces are close to-
gether. Porto Cabello, which Com
mander Hemphill reports as taken by
1000 insurgents and then vacated, is
only three hours from Valencia, one of
the chief cities, and the latter is only
seven hours from Caracas, the capital.
General Castro, the rebel leader, ap-
parently has developed unexpected re-
sources, as. the operations of the last
few days have shown that he has a
large and we'll disciplined army.
It is said that the British-Venezuela
arbitration decision, which is likely to
be announced at Paris within the next
ten days, will not be affected by any
political changes which may occur in
Venezuela, as the decision would be
binding on any government, present or
future, which may be in existence when
the award is made.

heavens. Taken in conjunction with
the trial of the royalist plotters, it
marks the beginning of the last strug-
gle. Today we obtain a pardon for
Dreyfus, tomorrow his acquittal and
rehabilitation. But all that is nothing.
The punishment of a few blood stained
forgers in Gonse, MERCER, ETC., is moth
ing. What we want is to permanently
rid our country of all these petty,
nasty disturbers, the Jesuitic plotters,
royalist hirelings and crazy anti
Semites. France is made sick by the
presence of these elements within her.
We don't want France to be slowly
poisoned. She must purge herself and
again take rank with the nations that
lead human progress"

Suggestion From Pingree.

At the evening session, Governor
Hazen S. Pingree of Michigan de-
livered an address which was closely
listened to and frequently applauded.
He said:
'sThe Chicago trust conference was
of great value because it separated the
chaff from the wheat. 1t did much to
clarity the subject. 1t. was of educa-
tional value. But it's principal benefit
to my mind, was the revelation it gave
us of the position which the advocates
of the trust, or rather the trusts them
selves, would take.

Public sentiment will compel it. What
form, therefore, shall that law take?
In the absence of uniform state law,
federal law is necessary. 1t should
be drastic law. / have no sympathy
with the sentiment for regulation. That
is the remedy of the trusts. 1t would
result in their regulating themselves

to suspicion.
