Some people may not understand
the constant TRADE against Mr.. Hin
kle by the editor of the Register-Trib-
une, but to all those h were here
three years ago last spring, the mat
ter is plain. At that time when Mr..
Robinson attempted to capture the
city administration, and, incidentally,
the Democratic party by a so-called
Labor Union party of his own get-up,
with the assistance of one Belrose,
Mr.. Hinkle at the head of a commit
tee threw the gentleman out of the
political window into the mire, as it
were, and eve since he has been
ing to land. After being KICKED out
of the Democratic city convention,
Mr.. Robinson's next move was to or
ganize a printers strike against the
Daily Record, of which he was then
foreman, because it declined to sup
port him as a candidate on the la
Dor ticket. The final result was that
the Typographical Union lost its
charter for breaking a contract, and
other unions which allowed them.
selves to be Used in Mr.. Robinson's
political schemes also suffered, some
of them being broken up. The Car
p~enters and one or two other unions
caught on to the fact hat they were
being worked for political ends, and
stopped contributing, thus saving
themselves from the general destruc
ton wrought by the Robinson and
Belrose gang of g~rafters.

She May Have Been Frightened
Into Committing Suicide.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Following the recent
mysterious deaths of Martin vrzal and his
five children, and the supposed suicide
to-day Of his wife. Mrs. Rose vrzaI. Her
man Biolk. a Bohemian clarvoiant and
fortune-teller. was arrested this evening,
to be held pending the inquiry into the
remarkable mortality in the family Of
which he is known to have been a close
friend, and. perhaps, physician.
Mrs Vrzal was unquestionably poisoned
with arsenic There Is just d suspicion
that it may not have been taken with
suicidal intent. The police think. how
ever. that the woman was frightened into
kinIng herself by the questions they asked
her concerning the death of her husband
and little ones.
Biolk will be held at least until the in
quest. which can not be held until the
bodies Of all the Vrzals are exhumed and
an analysis made Of the contents Of their
stomachs.
The victims Of these tragedies are:

Insurance was carried on the lives of
all the Vrzal children. 1t was payable

known at this time. He denies that he
