pletely wrecked, glass in adjoining
buildings shattered and thirty guests in
the hosiery thrown from their beds

McKie had boarded at the hotel for
four years and had been treated as a
member of the Brandt family, which
Included a daughter, Sophie, with whom
Mckie Is said to have been In love.
Brandt denies that there was any un-
|derstanding between the two. McKie
remarked last night that he was going
to wait until Sophie returned from
Germany with her mother and then was
going to his old home in Philadelphia.

on the floor with his head in pool of
blood. A bullet hole near his right ear
had caused instant death. Brandt was
bruised about the body, shaken up bad
ly and received severe cut on the
left leg. Mrs. Brandt sustained bruises
about the body, and a cut hand. When

day enough dynamite was found in

machinist in the navy yard here, but
resigned on inheriting $4,000 about

said to have lost on the races and his
act is accredited by some to this loss.

Hardin that he could be nominated
and on the other hand If Sweet could
develop strength in the same territory
he would be successful. There was
much talk about the platform. and

They declared that otherwise the Third

Count Won Posadowsky Wchner made
confidential statement to the COM

mittee respecting the governments
rason for rejecting the minimum scale
Of duties on animals and meats. These
reasons are understood to be in con-

quiring how much of the counts re-
marks were confidential, the secretary
replied that the government wanted
them to know openly that all the fed
