shots In DR.. Jarecke's yard. He
glanced out of the window and saw
a still form on the ground. 1t was
the young physician whose life was
fast ebbing away. Help was soon
at hand The physician had been
shot through the breast. It Is sup
posed that the assassin called him TO
the door and the doctor recognizing
him fired. The man returned the shot
and his aim was deadly. Then he
fled unnoticed. A revolver belonging
to Jarecke was found by his side. but
only one cartridge had been discharg.

the second one must have been fired

DENVER, Colo, July 1.-The
mysterious death Of DR.. Seymour T.
Jarecke, which occurred at his resi-.

Was his death the work of an as
sassin, perhaps Of the same person
who struck him down in his office in
the county court house last December
and left him for dead?
The Deceive and police force Of the
city Is working on the latter theory.
Murdered for revenge Is whispered
about in police headquarters. A wo-

KNOX ATTACKS
JUDGE PARKER
Flood of Sarcasm Turned
Loose on Democrats.
HIS GOLD TELEGRAM SILLY
Senator Asserts It Is the Same as
Though Acknowledging abe Earth
Is Round.

PITTSBURG. July 15.-United States
Senator r. G. Knox came to PittsburS
last night on business visit. Senator
Knox announced that he would take
the stump for the Republican ticket,
and commented as follows on the Demo-
cratic ticket and platform:
''As 20 the Democratic convention and
its action / will for the time at least,
exercise the Christian virtue Of silence,
as | have nothing good 10 say. Judge
Parker's recognition Of the fact that
the gold standard has been irrevocably
established is nothing but an acknowl-
edgment of the accomplishment of that
great fact by the Republican party
against the repeated protest OF his party
and against his personal vote every
time the issue was before the people.
1T could hardly be expected that a
man of his position would exhibit less
intelligence than was manifested by his
prompt avowaI OF his knowledge of that
fact after being prOdded TO do so by
the Democratic and Mugwump New
York press. ii was pointed out to him
that failure 10 do so meant defeat
One Man Against Party.
1t would be just as silly to extol an
acknowledgment Of the fact that the
earth is round as the fact that this coun-
try is irrevocably upon a gold basis.
That it is irrevocably so is because the
people will not give the Democracy the
chance 20 revoke. at least. until the
good faith of the party rests upon some
thing more substantial than the self
serving assertion Of one man against the
deliberate sullen silence Of the whole
party.
I have heard of no expression yet
that either Judge Parker or his party
regards the money question as settled
right The fair inference from his vote
and his party's attitude is that they only
regard it as settled for the purpose Of
this campaign.

added:
However. at President ROosevelts re

srecial duties, which are of interest in

lily changed by my appointment 10 the

with the case, but was informed that
Mr.. Kline had asked not to be dis
turbed.
He left word that Mrs. Chadwick
desired to See the attorney and then
returning to the Breslin sent a cable
gram to Paris. He would not dis
close the name of the person to
whom the message was addressed.
A few minutes before 9 o'clock
Mrs. Chadwick came down from her
apartments and prepared for the
journey to the federal building. She
appeared to be very weak and leaned
heavily on the arm Of the United
States marshal. Before leaving the
hotel she was compelled to sit on
couch in the hall and rest for time.
On the way from the hotel to the
federal building Mrs. Chadwick said
to the marshal, who had her in Gus

these people will see that I am

sobbed, "Oh, if I had only known

arrest, and refused to make any
statement. A second request for an
opinion was responded to by having
