HOW JUDGE PARKER
SENT THE TELEGRAM
Spent Moments in Brown Study
While Riding His Horse

ESOPUS, N. z, July Light was
thrown on the history of the now ia
nous Parker telegram and the reply
to it of the Democratic convention at
st. Louis by close friend Of Judge
Parker, who said:
when Judge Parker went to bed
at 9:45 Friday night he did not know
anything at all about the financial side
of the platform which had been agreed
upon, more than was outlined in the
very brief bulletin telephoned from
Kingston. When informed at $50 a.
m. of his nomination he knew no more
and the first real knowledge he had of
the action of the convention on the
financial plank in the platform was
when he read the New York morning
papers. Immediately after breakfast,
a little after o'clock, he started for a
horseback ride. Before mounting a
telegram was handed him giving a
concise outline Of the platform.
From the moment of his reading OF
that telegram 1t was noticed that he
was very much preoccupied and as he
rode off his head was bowed as if in
deep thought.
About 1880 o'clock he rode up to
the railroad station, asked for tele-

which the telegram Of Judge Parker
stating his views on the money ques-
ton was received by the convention
demonstrated beyond all question that
there now lisa united Democracy.
Francis Lynde Stetson-My general
attitude is expressed in the telegram
I sent Judge Parker, as follows: Your
nomination gave comfort. Your mes
sage areuses enthusiasm. I look to
see 1t followed by at least four presi-
Dental messages assuring the country
of peace with honor, both national and
financial. Accept my congratulations u
John Dewitt Warner-Parker's NOM
ination on an aggressive platform
should assure every legitimate busi-
ness interest and stir every Democrat.
Now that the money issue is recognized
as dead, radicals and conservatives can
work together for live causes. They
have agreed upon opposition to trusts,
tariffs, subsidies and every other phase
of imperialism.
James eByrne-The action Of Judge
Parker in sending his telegram to st.
Louis has put the Democratic party in
good light, and its candidate for pres
ident in the best possible light before
the country. The chief issue in this
campaign, in my opinion, will be which
candidate, If elected, will be more like
ly to give the country a safe and sound
administration. / believe Parker will
carry this state.

Blanche Lamont, and, after wounding
her seriously, turned his revolver upon
himself and inflicted a wound which
will probably prove fatal.
Herr fired two shots at the woman
from behind as she sat near the rail-
ing, one of the bullets taking effect in
her head and the other in her neck
and hand. e
Before any of the spectators could
reach him the would-b murderer
turned the revolver to his, head and
fired a third shot into his right ear.
The shooting is believed to have
been the result of a jealous quarrel,
for a short time before the woman
went to the gallery the two were seen
quarreling in the dressing rooms in
the basement. Herr spoke to the
woman in an angry tone. and. as soon
as she had changed her clothing, she
left the room and went to the main
floor and from there to the balcony,
where she took a seat near the railing

Herr was seen to follow the woman
as she went up the stairs, and actors
who witnessed his actions said he APP
peared to be in a jealous rage.
About two minutes after the woman
had taken the seat in the balcony he
followed her from the wings on the

when Herr followed her. Without the
least hesitation he drew the revolver,
and before 1 or any Of the other men
in the balcony could cry out. pulled
the trigger twice. In an instant he
stepped back, turned the revolver on
himself and fired.
The woman shrieked when she was
struck ard jumped up. She ran up the
aisle, jumping over his body, and made

CHICAGO, July IA general
strike of the employees of all the big
packing plants throughout the coun-
try was ordered tonight by Michael J..
Donnelly, president of the Analga-

For nearly two months we have
been carrying on negotiations with
the committee of superintendent rep
resenting all the packers in order to
secure new agreements for our mem
bers. the old contracts between the
unions and the companies having ex-
pired on May %. Since that time we
have been working without any agree
ment and have tried in every way to
reach a satisfactory agreement with
the packing interests, but they have
held out on every proposal"

None of them gave him the informa-

reporters and it was afterward recalled
that some of his questions to them be-
trayed his lack of first-hand knowledge
of the conventions action. He waited
about the station, almost irresolute in
bearing, for ten minutes and then sud-
denly galloped back toward Rosemont.

THAT night while the convention
tossed and billowed with the sensation
he had produced he sat up until after

and did not retire until after the ac-
ton of the convention upon his tele-
