the bodies were found the girls face was
placid. her hands were crossed in her lap
as though she had posed calmly while
her sweetheart fired the fatal bullet. His
body lay on the floor at her side

tIons Against Attacks in Press.
New York, Jan. 24-Before the Manu-
facturers' Association of Brooklyn at
their annual banquet tonight Chancellor
Day, OF Syracuse University, took an
other slap at those who are in favor Of
limiting corporations big capital and pre-
venting the accumulation of immense for
tunes
incidentally he set staid and conserva-
tive business aghast by the radicalism Of
his Utterances.
Day had been assigned to respond to
the toast The exaggerated fear of the
use of accumulated wealth." and among
other things. he said:
"As long as the people are taught that
corporations have for their purpose the
robbing Of the people, and oppression Of
the poor, business will be obstructed and
the people will suffer a severe penalty for
their folly
THE agitators do not pay the dam
age: the corporations will not charge it to
profit and loss Il is a plain case of the
people destroying their own interests and
paying the cost.
We are making ourselves the laughing
stock for coming generations by our
panic over the magnitude Of present en-
terprises, which. as a matter Of fact. are
only in their infancy

ALL PARTIES EXPECT GAINS.

London. Jan. 25.-The Daily Mail has

tions from various leaders. Herr Singer,
the Social Democrat leader. avows calm
.confsIence is another repetition of those
unfailing victories which come TO US every
time the government has given the people
a chance to express themselves at the
ballot box We shall increase our total
vote by 5000 or 6C00 Our strength was
.seventy-nine in the last Reichstag. It
will not be less than eighty-five in the
new house,
Herr Singer does not believe that the
government will dissolve the Reichstag
again. that the nations answer on Jan
uary . and February ; viii convince them
that it would be fruitless.
Herr Erzberger, in behalf OF the Center
party. declares the greatest hopefuIness.
He is prepared for the party losing seats
in Rhineland and Silesia. owing to the
split In the party, but this loss will be
fully balanced by gains in Alsace and Ba-
varia.
The CentTists will have at least 100 seats
in the new house, as many as they had in
the last. and may possibly have los. He
believes the Socialists viii profit most by
the elections, and that they probably will
have ninety seats. The Peoples will per
haps gain four. The gains of these and
the other parties will be chiefly at the
expense of the radicals.
Baron Won Zedlitz, the Conservative
leader, is confident that his party will
easily win He says that the general
prospects of the Conservatives have ma
terially improved, but that there never
was an election in Germany the results
Of which were so clOuded with uncer-
tainty.
Prof LASER, in behalf Of the National
Liberals, hopes that they will gain several
seats. The campaign, he declares. has
awakened interest in German liberalism.
The complexion of the Reichstag will not
be much changed.
