Verdict in Case Of Prominent cincin.
...e...,s,as :. natl Railroad Man. >-r
= Cincinnati, Nov. 30.-Coroner Wea-
yer has rendered a verdict in the case
Of c. A. Parker, vice president of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Pere Marquette railroad, who died here
suddenly in his Office Nov. 10, finding
that death was caused by suicide with
prussic acid. y -: ~. F.. ! ::.%;a
:. Mr.. Parker's death at the time was
supposed to be from natural causes
and no autopsy was held, neither was:
the coroner disposed to- hold an in
quest and the body was forwarded to
st. Louis for burial. Mr.. Parker had
recently come into the service of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
Pere Marquette system and had been
unusually busy in the work of reor:
ganization. He had arrived from a
business trip on the day Of his death
and had given no indication of i'll
health or of mental disturbance. It
was discovered afterwards that just
before his death he had placed in his
desk all valuables carried on his per-
son. He was seen to step behind a
screen where the water cooler was
placed and where, presumably, he
swallowed the fatal drug. .7-.....~,. l..
On the day of Mr.. sParker's burial
and almost at the hour of his funeral
Miss Elsie Gesterling died by her own
hand in Chicago. It developed: that
she had been his stenographer in Den.
yer and that there was story of, i'm.
proper relations between them. The
husband of Miss Gesterling's mother
said after his stepdaughter's death
that he believed that Parker and Miss
Gesterling had agreed to die together.
It was shown that just previous to Par
ker's death he had visited Miss Ges
terling in Chicago. After these devel
opments the coroner decided to hold
an inquest. From the testimony taken
he now finds that Mr.. Parker's death
was caused by prussic acid self-admin
istered.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Members of
the Citizens Industrial association,
representing all sections of the coun-
try, were present when the second an
nual convention of the organization

ton to the appointment of committees

output, limitation of apprentices and
questions of similar nature.
In his address Of welcome President
George C. Moon of the Manufacturers

delegates against the pitfalls they may
encounter during their stay in the
city. He informed them that the
place where the convention was being
held was lin the Tenderloin, the tough
est part OF New York." and cautioned
them to be careful of their valuabies.
Mr. Moon said that the idea OF the
"open shop of which the convention
is the exponent, has not progressed as
far in New York as it has in other
parts Of the country.
President David M. Parry, in his ad-
dress, reviewed the growth of the
"open shop movement and said that
within a year 1000 factories have
opened their doors to workmen with
