SIDE By SIDE THEY LAY, 4
BULLET N EACH TEMPLE.
FROM UNFORGIyING
PARENTS
IN A CHICAGO HOTEL ROOM.
FROM EVIDENCES Of AFFECTION
THEY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
ON A BRIDAL TOUR.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Side by side,
each with bullet wound in the temple
OF each, the dead bodies of L. Hartman
and his wife were found in their bed at
the Great Northern hotel this evening.
The room showed no evidences of a
struggle, both lifeless forms were COM
posed, the covering of the bed well
tucked about them, but the revolver
clutched In the right hand of the hus-
band told the story of the double trag-
edy.
VI the pair that courtsd death so
successfully nothing is known by the
managers of the hotel beyond a report
that the man has wealthy connections
in New York, and that the woman ap-
parently was once an actress under the
stage name of Rose Violet From in
formation given ny a woman who in
quired for them this morning, it is sup
posed that the case is one of runa-
way marriage, with death as the result
OF the desponaency over the Obduracy
OF an unforgiving father.
Hartman and his wife registered at
the hotel June 9Th, giving as their adj
dress New York. Both were stylishly
dressed and appeared to be persons of
means. They did not mingle with the
other guests and spent most of the
time in their rooms. They were re-
served in manner, but from the evil
dences of affection they displayed it
was surmised by attaches of the hotel
that they were on their wedding trip.
Early Sunday night they retired to
their apartments and nothing was seen
of them until this evening when they
were found dead in bed. The chamber
maid tried to gain entrance to the
room in the forenoon, but was unable
to do so. Later in the day she repeat
ed the attempt with the same result.
Repeated knockings failed to obtain
an answer and the hotel Office being
notified, the room was broken into to-
night and the discovery was made of
the double tragedy.
At midnight it was learned that the
dead woman was Rosa LIE Sebre, a va
riety actress. The father of the dead
man is said to be a wealthy tobacco
dealer in business in New York city,

COL. W.C.P. Breckenridge
ON MIXTURE Of DEMOCRACY.
NEVER AGREE TO BRYAN'S
SILVER VIEWS.
NOR HIS TERRITORIAL POLICY
RELATIONS TO NEW POSSESSIONS
SUGGESTED AS THE ISSUE
FOR 1904.

LEXINGTON, KY, .uLe 10.-In re-
ply to letter asking for his views IN
the reorganization of the Democrat,
party and future issues. Col W. C. P.
Breckenridge former Democratic Cos
gresham, says:
THE American people will never con-
sent to such legislation concerning the
currency as will put into statute the
views of MIR. Bryan. l. Is equally .rue
that the American people will not ap-
prove of the territorial policy advo-
Gated by Mr.. Bryan. For the next few
years the currency issue and the expan-
sion issue, rendered by the Democratic
party and accepted by the Republican
party have been settled"
In the same letter he says:
eve are, therefore, confronted with
this actual state of facts. 1t is impos-
sible to win without such nominee
and platform as will secure the sup
port of those Democrats who refuse IL
vote for Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900
and it is also impossible to win without
the cordial support of the regular Dem
ocratic party.
1T has occurred to me that the issue
in 1904 might be our relations with our
new possessions. That these will be
retained is now certain. That the prin-
ciples promulgated by the Supreme
Court in the late opinions will be &C
cepted by the people is certain
After outlining the questions involy-
ed, Col. Breckenridge says:
"To adopt this policy does not re-
quire that any Democrat should retract
any utterances heretofore made, or
apologize for any course heretofore pur-
sued''

MACH|h|STS WILL AID
NON-uN|ON STRIKERS.
THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION
PREPARING FOR A LONG
STRUGGLE.
THE AMERICAN FEDERATION
AND THE BRITISH TRADES ORGAN.
IZATIONS ARE TO BE APP
PEALED TO.

TORONTO, Ont, June 10.-The Inter
national Machinists' Association, in
convention to-day, decided to extend
financial aid to non-union men who
went out with members of the associa-
ton. President O'Connell stated that
officials were not restricted as to the
amount non-union men should receive,
but he added that in any event it would
be sufficient to induce them to remain
in the fight to the end. Since May 20
over $4,000 has been distributed among
strikers, and as yet no regular system
OF benefits has gone into force.
resolution was passed asking the
American Federation of Labor to levy
an assessment, as provided for in their
constitution, to provide funds for the
strikers. In the event of long drawn
out fight an appeal for aid will also be
made to the trade organizations of
Great Britain, who were assisted by the
machinists in their struggle for an
eight-hour day.
Regarding the question of finances,
President O'Conell stated that a special
strike fund.- amounting to over $3.50, 900,
was still intact
The convention almost unanimously
voted down resolution pledging the as
sociation to socialism. 1t was also de-
cided that a certificate of death from
a Christian scientist doctor would not
be recognized in the future in claim
for death benefits.
The committee on laws has finished
its labors. The constitutions of local
lodges were adopted.
Ine question arose as to the desira-
bility of removing headquarters of the
orders from Washington to some more
central point, Chicago and Cleveland
were preferred. A decision will be made
later.
President O'Connell received word
this morning that twenty-six firms in
California had granted shorter hours
and an increase in pay.
Milwaukee is the favorite for the next
place of meeting, and Will likely get it.
