HAS BEEN POSTPONED
INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE
WORLD FAILED TO MEET IN
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, TODAY.
Specialize the Herald.

Special TO the Herald.
Chicago, ILL.,, June 27.-Conficting
reasons are given for the postpone
ment of the convention of the Indus
trial Workers of the World, which
was to have assembled in this city to-
day. The organization. which was
founded by Eugene v Debs. is Of
strong socialistic tendencies and has
met with bitter opposition from the
American Federation of Labor and its
component bodies.
The reason given by the organiza-
ton for the postponement o. the con
vention is the uncertainty of the out
come of the trial of Meyer Haywood
and Pettibone, the officials of the
Western Federation of Miners. who
are. charged with being implicated in
the murder of former Governor Steun-
enberg of Idaho. In an official an
nouncement to the membership rela-
live to the postponement the officers
say that if the accused leaders OF
the Western Federation of Miners
are acquitted the convention 'un-
doubtedly will be the most important
ever held by the working class in this
country" The opponents of the In
dustrial Workers, on the other hand.
declare that this high-sounding decla-
ration is all ''bosh' and that the real
reason for the postponement of the
convention is that the leaders are not
willing to disclose the weakness of
the organization at this critical time.
as most of the locals have no money
to send delegates to a convention.

PARIS EXCITED OVER
MYSTERIOUS MURDER
THE VICTIM WAS A YOUNG AND
BEAUTIFUL BRETON WOMAN.
NO CLUE TO THE MURDERER.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Paris, June 27-All Paris is excited
over a mysterious murder, the victim
being a young and beautiful Breton
woman, of rather facile morals, who is
believed to have been at one time on
the stage A short time ago she took
up her abode in a cottage at Saint
Mande, with a male friend with whom
she had formerly lived, and who, on
his return from Africa recently, had
sought her out and found her. After
dining with him one evening last
week she went out, saying that she
was going to little party which some
acquaintances were giving in Paris,
and at two O'Clock the next morning
she was noticed passing through the
Saint Mande gate on her way back to
her dwelling.
The woman went along a broad and,
at that hour. deserted avenue, run
ming parallel to the Notifications. and
soon afterwards a pool of blood was
perceived by a lamp-lighter on the
pavement Following the ruddy track
the man turned a corner, about fifty
yards from which he found a corpse
lying in a street adjoining the avenue.
The body had been Invested of most
of its clothing. including corset and
nj
cash in the neck.
The lamplighter hurried off to the
police at Vincennes, who arrived on
the scene very promptly, and soon
afterwards the corpse was identified
by publican, who gave the address
of the friend with whom the unfor-
tunate young woman had been living.
The friend. who had retired early TO
rest. and was sleeping soundly when
the police called at his cottage, lost
no time in accompanying them to the
spot. and he quickly noted that, be
sides the clothes which were missing,
a purse containing a considerable sum
and some jewelry, which the muir
dered woman invariably wore, lad
been taken.
Though the police have worked dill
igently on the case they are still in
the dark as to the identity of the
murderer or murderers. No suspic-
ion attaches to the friend of the wo-
man as he succeeded in satisfying the
anthnrities- ~ Ia tis- rnavarnante- a5-
Nd OF the crime-Qn -thaar~
is ID: the crime may have been due
to desire for revenge on the part
of some former acquaintance of the
victim. But the neighborhood in
which the murder occurred is so dan
gerous at night that it is thought
quite probable that the woman may
have been killed only for the sake of
what she might have about her.

THE CONVENTION WILL
NOMINATE OFFICERS
DEMOCRATIC STATE coNVEN-
TON IN SESSION AT HARRIS
BURG, PENNSYLVANIA, TODAY.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Harrisburg. Pa, June 27.-The
Democratic state convention is in
session here to nominate candidates
for governor. lieutenant governor, au-
ditor general and secretary of inter-
nal affairs. For the first time in
many years the party has virtually
shaken itself free from the control of
the state machine and the attendant
corporation influences and appears to
be in a position to make a free choice
of candidate irrespective of the dicta-
ton of Col. James NJ Guffey, national
committeeman. and his party leaders.
Surface indications point to
strong sentiment in favor of indorsing
Lewis Emery, Jr, the gubernatorial
candidate Of the Lincoln party. If
such action is taken strong efforts viii
be made to overthrow the Republicans
at the coming election through a fu-
sion of the Democrats, Prohibitionists
and Lincoln party followers. II is
probable that the platform will come
out strongly i'm denunciation of the
Standard Oil Company, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and Senator Penrose's
combinations in the administration OF
state affairs.
