n STORY IN FIVE CHAPTERS

Addressing a crowd at the railway
station at Meriden. Conn. on Max. 3.
1904. Judge Alton b. Parker, Demo-
cratic candidate for president. said;
"Of late We have had presented 10
our attention question OF far more
importance than any issue presented by
our national PLATFORM question that
was rot understood at the time and
that the party could not contemplate.
That is the question whether II Is pos
sible for interests in this country 10
control the elections With money.
When the trusts of this country
united for the purpose OF raising tund
that was TO be large enough TO con-
troll the election, il became your duty
and mine. without regard to any other
issue IN this canvass, to settle the
question once for all whether money
or manhood suffrage should control.
we meet the gage of battle when
they threw down, and from one end
OF the country to the other men are
saying To each other what you anu
l are SAYING:
This country shall not pass into
the hands of the trusts
I'VE have had a very remarkable
SITUATION presented, AFTER the recon-
mondation six or eight weeks ago that
action should be taken toward curbiRg
the trusts. the Republican party passed
a statute TO that end, but if We ex-
anime that statute closely we find that
it authorizes the president to appoint
"A cabinet officer 10 investigate the
trusts. The information ne receives
may be given to the people or kept
private, as the president may direct.
The man he put at the head of that
bureau was his private secretary. Aft
er this campaign opened he became
chairman Of the Republican national
committee, and whatever information
he had, if he had any, was perfectly
well understood by the heads of the
organization. They knew what secrets
they had that they did not care TO
have made public"

cases contiguous in the Birmingham dis trict, and where this is the case, the property could, 1t is said. be most ef- fectively developed by single ownership. For instance, the Republic company owns undeveloped property near developed property of the Tennessee. It might be difficult for the former to develop the new property under separate companies, whereas. If united, the property could be readily developed from the basis of opera tions already made by the Tennessee. And vice versa.
 In a word, the Tennessee company, un- der it's new control and management, will spend an enormous amount of money in developing the Birmingham district If this work can be best carried forward by merging the Republic and the Tennessee, the consolidation will be effected.

LifeIess Body of Mrs, Alice Johnson Found lying Be-

.ELGIE COCRAN DIES AS
 RESULT IF HIS WOUND
Acting Coroner Gaudn Satisfied That One of the Two Fired Shots Which Resulted in Two
 Deaths.

Mrs. Alice Johnson white woman, 35 years old, and Elgie Cocran, aged 37, were found in a rear room at the woman S home on Avenue F and Twenty third street yesterday afternoon with bullet holes in their bodies.
 The woman was stretched lifeless on the floor near where she had been eating a lunch, and had evidently been dead sev- eral minutes. The man was lying in an- other portion of the room in pool of his own blood. and 32-calibre Iver-Johnson revolver was on the floor beside his body. He was unconscious and was gasping for breath when discovered.
 The body of the woman was removed to Gaudin's undertaking establishment, and the man was taken to St. Vincent's hos pital, where he fingered between life and death until o'clock last night and died. There is a mystery surrounding the af- fair. and it is the opinion of the police that the man murdered the woman and then shot himself.

Cocran on His Back.


 Cocran was found laying upon his back with closed eyes and from t--e groans it was evident that he was suffering untold agony. He was in a pool of hood and the weapon which had done the work was near his right hand. On the opposite side of the body was a large knife with the blade open, but there were no indica- tions that it had figured in the tragedy. Judging from the conditions he found the coroner believes that the man and wo- man had quarreled and he had probably assaulted her and she hav secured the knife and attempted to defend herself. Another theory is that he intended to murder her with the knife and upon sec ond thought decided to use ,le pistol. There is but little doubt in the Coroner s mind that he first killed -er and then sent the bullet into his own body after realizing what he mad done. There were only two empty chambers in the revolver, and only one shot was fired into either body
 It is not known just exactly what time the tragedy occurred as there were no eye WltneSSeS, Dul IL Wdo DttWtcI l- dfu 80 o'clock as the woman was seen alive previous to that time. No one seems to have heard the shots fired and those in the house say they do not know when 1t happened.
 A thorough search was made of the apartments of the woman, and especially in the room where the shooting took place to find some clue that would lead up to solution of the mystery as it was thought some letter might have been left by the man, but nothing of the kind was found. The theory is that the mur- der was not planned, but was committed on the spur of the moment. It was stated by those who live in the same house that Cocran was known 10 have been drn.sing heavily for the last few days and had been very noisy early in the ng. It was also stated that he had used the tel ephone, and several persons say that they could hear him swearing. Mrs. Clement Fulger said that Mrs. Johnson had come
