Sensational Developments Grow
Out of a Suicide in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 4.@There are SEN
sational developments today in connec-
ton with the suicide last Tuesday night
of George Conrad, head waiter of the
Gibson house. His wife, on apprehend-
ing letters from the wife of a promi-
nent business man to Conrad, was suing
him for divorce and a wealthy society
woman for damages on account of alien
alton of affections. The attorneys of
Mrs. Conrad appealed to the postal au-
thorities, and among the letters from
Conrad to the woman of whom he was
enamoured there was found one in
which Conrad outlined his plan Ito con-
vey his wife to the middle of the Ohio
river, upset the skiff as though by acci-
dent, swim ashore himself and leave
Mrs. Conrad to drown" When Conrad
was confronted by his wife and attor-
neys with this letter and knew he would
be prosecuted criminally, he had hur-
ried interview with the woman for whom
he had deserted his wife and then killed
himself. Mrs. Conrad says he repeated

Former United States Minister
to Persia and Greece
Joins Jockey Club President in
an Assault.
THEY SHOOT AN EDITOR
After Beating Him in the Face
With Fists.
Fred Marriott, OF the News Let
ter, the Victim.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 4.-Fred
Marriott, publisher of the San Francisco
News Letter, was shot at his home three
times and seriously wounded. His as
sailants were Thomas H. Williams, jr.,
president of the California Jockey clup
and Truxton Beale, former United
States minister to Persia and Greece,
and a well known club man 0i this city
Neither will say who did the shooting,
but Marriott says that it was Williams
The following account of the shooting
was given by Marriott before he was
put under anaestheticS at the hospital:
AN appointment was made by tele-
phone for a meeting by Truxton Beaie
About o'clock Beale and Williams
came to the house. l answered the door
myself. When reaching to take their
hats Beale struck me heavy blow in
the face and made another slash at me
with his fist. Smash him. the - -
- cried Williams. l retreated as the
blow on the forehead almost blinded me-
l then started upstairs and Williams
began shooting.
The first shot fired shattered Mar
riott's left leg below the knee and he
fell to the steps. AS he rolled to the
bottom of the stairs two more bullets
were shot into him. One cut through
the thigh, a. few inches below the hip.
passing clear through the leg. The other
struck i'm in the right hand
Mrs. Marriott hearing the first shot
came to the head of the stairs in time
to see her husband fall She started
down TO 01m- linen, IL Is cldlIiltu, tIc
revolver was turned in her direction and
two more shots were fired. One passed
within four inches of her head. Williams
said:
Yes, Beale and myself did the shoot
ing. but there is nothing to say. We
considered it our duty to punish Mar
riott for publishing an article last week
rejecting on the reputation OF young
lady"
Beale said that although the ladys
name was not mentioned her identity
was so plainly indicated that he felt
bound to resent the publication. Neither
Williams or Beale, although admitting
the assault. would say who did the
shooting. After the shooting they went
to the Pacific Union club where they
were placed under arrest. Marriotts 3
wounds, it is thought. will not result
fatally
Williams and Beale were released on
80 600 bonds each.

A KANSAN IN POSEN.
Starts a Real Estate Boom in
the Ancient City.

Posen, Prussian Poland. Sept. 4.-The
great fortifications that made Posen.
a generation ago. one of the most i'm
pregnable strongholds in Europe and
second only to Metz in Germany, and
which have been expected by the en-
perOr to be demolished. as he announc-
ed to the burgomaster in his replv to
that officials address, consist of IL miles
of huge earth and masonry ramparts.
They were begun in 1928 and were new
er really finished, because they were
continually modified as the art of de-
fense and offense developed. About SO
million dollars has been spent on these
fortifcations, first and last .and yet a
gun was never fired at them, for the
place was never beleaguered.
Field Marshal Won Moltke, while Wis
iting Posen early in the eighties, said
to the commanding general:
But they are only earth"
what did you think they were?''
asked the general in surprise.
why" replied the field marshal, sfI
supposed they were of gold, from what
has been spent on them
Now, with three lines in the Gazette
the emperor abandons them But the
mere work of demolition will cost sew
eral more millions, of which the munich
pality will gladly pay its share AL
though the populati ton of the city, about
115,000. will spread mile or two in ev-
cry direction beyond the walls. no brick
or stone buildings can be permitted
within a half mile zone, so that no en-
emy may be able to find cover. The
natural growth of the city is thus pre-
vented. The Inhabitants of Posen Pc
titioned Emperor William to cancel the
military decree establishing the fortifi-
cations and he chose the time of his
visit to do so- The old Notifications will
be replaced by ring of thirty-one forts
well beyond the city limits. This is the
great fortress looking toward Russia
and it will not by any means be weak
ened. The defense will simply be mod
ernized. real estate agent who had
lived twelve years in Kansas is already
advertising town lots for sale In the old

GOLD MEN WIN.
Iowa Democrats Vote Down En-
dOrsement of X. C. Platform.

DeS MONIES, Ia, Sept. 4.-DemOcratic
state convention nominated the follow
ing ticket:
Secretary of State-Richard Burke.
AUDITOR. s. McLuin.
Attorney General-John Dennison.
Treasurer-R. U. Chapman.
Judge of Supreme Court-Q1Ong term)
Thomas Stapleton.
Judge Supreme Court-(Short term)
W. H. Quick.
Railroad Commissioner-Thos. Ben
son.
The convention adopted a platform
which makes no mention of free silver
or the national declaration of the party
at Kansas City. This is the first time
the Iowa Democrats have ignored the
silver question since the Dubuque con-
vention in 1896, when free silver at a
ratio of 16 to l was specifically endors-
ed. The result was reached at the con-
clusion of protracted contest when by
a vote of 324 to 344 the convention re-
fused to amend the report of the ma
jority of the committee on resolutions
by inserting a plank reafirming the
Kansas City platform.
The initial plank over which the con-
test arose reads.
I'VE the chosen representatives of
the Democrat party in Iowa in delegate
convention assembled. hereby declare
and renew faith in the fundamental
renew our allegiance thereto"
Soon after the committee on resolu-
tions met it was aligned, seven in fa-
vor of ignoring the Kansas City plat
form and four in favor of reaffirming
it.
The majority report was presented by
Ex-Governor Horace Boise, and S. A.
Brewster, of Ottumwa, presented the
minority, which proposed the following
substitute for the first plank of the
majority report:
"The Democracy of Iowa, In conven-
tion assembled endorses the principles
of Democracy as enunciated by the last
national platform adopted in Kansas
City in 1a00.''
Each side was given 40 minutes de-
bate Ex-Governor Boies consumed
most of the time for the majority. He
told the convention that free silver as
an issue was dead and that it was fu-
tile to entertain the agitation. He
pleaded for a platform which would
unite the Democrat party and enable
it to meet the new issues, the greatest
of which. he said, are those of trusts
and combinations and the tariff, with a
united front. S. A. Brewster. in de-
Tending the minority report urged that
the party until another national con-
vention meets. The platform attacks
trusts, which it says were created by
the tariff policy adopted for the avow-
ed purpose of raising a revenue to meet
the enormous burdens of civil war.
and says the government should grap-
pie with all monOpolies of this charac-
ter. The Philippine war is declared to
have been unjust and the partv is
pledged to work for Sef-gOvernment
for the FilipinOs.
