The New York Tribune intimates that the Democrats would be much happier if they could feel sure that Parker will be nominated. Well, not all who call themselves Democrats would rejoice at such knowledge. Some of them would go off and commit suicide if they were sure of such a nomination.

DEATH OF MUNC|E GIRL
LEADS TO THE ARREST OF
AN INDIANAPOLIS MAN
S. A. Lee, Union Traction Motor
man, Held Pending Inquiry Into
Death of Artie Monks.
DIED IN CONCLUSIONS
Lee Was with Girl a, Few Hours
Before She Was Seized with
Sudden and Fatal Illness.

S. A. Lee, a motorman for the Indiana
Union Traction Company, who lived in the
Magnolia block, Kentucky avenue and
Maryland street, is detained by the police
at Muncie, pending the investigation of
the death OF Artia Monks, telephone op-
orator in that city, who died under pc
culiar circumstances at IL o'clock Sunday
morning.
Lee was the last man seen with the
young woman, having accompanied her to
the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Chris
topher Hollnger, when she was relieved
from duty at the telephone exchange at
1920 o'clock Saturday night. They arrived
at the young woman's home at IL o'clock.
and shortly afterward she seized with
convulsions, became unconscious, and died
Sunday morning. 1t was thought by her
physician that the manner of her death
indicated poison, but an autopsy performed
by the coroner failed to substantiate this
theory.
Lee was arrested as he stepped from his
car in Muncie at noon yesterday. His sur
prise was evident when told why he was
wanted He asked numerous questions
about the girls death, but did not express
sorrow, although she had been his sweet

he had better not talk too much. When
the officer asked him for a key to his room
in Indianapolis he did not hesitate a mo-

monstrated his attorney later.
why, l wanted them to see that I had
nothing TO do with her DEATH he replied.
''They can read all of her letters and they
will find nothing to incriminate me-.
Lee states that he went with Miss Monks
directly to her room at the home of her
grandmother, four blocks from the tele-
phone exchange. He says that they had
agreed to quit as SweetheartS and that
they exchanged trinkets which each had
given the other. He says that Miss Monks
made mention of taking her life. Lee S
suppositon is that she has suffered ex-
treme nervous prostration, which caused
her death. He says that he had known her
to suffer such nervous attacks.

the moment the fleet is withdrawn, unless
