BRYAN OUTLINES
PRINCIPLES OF
PARTY
[By Associated Press ]

Bonesteel, S. D., May 3O.-In an
address here last night w. j. Bryan
outlined what the principal issues
put forth by the democrats in the
coming campaign would be, and in
dicated what might be expected in
the Denver platform.
He said:
The democrats will ask for the
election of senators by direct vote;
for effective legislation against the
trusts; reduction of the tariff; eff
fective railroad legislation that peo-
pie may be protected from fictitious
capitalization and watered stock, for
until we know what the railroads are
actually worth We cannot determine
what they should collect in the way
of transportation; a reconciliation of
the differences between capital and
labor. The democratic party will op-
pose Imperialism, and will ask legs
lation, state and national, to protect
bank depositors and prevent panics."

LBy Associated Press.l

Washington, May 3O.-Whatever
else has bsen accomplished by Sen
ator LaFollet.e in his filbuster in the
senate against the adoption against
the conference report on the cur
rency bill he has gained a champion
ship. At 1908 this morning he yield
ed the floor to MIR. Stone of Missouri,
after having spoken almost contin-
uously Is hours 45 minues and his
voice seemed to be almost as fresh
as when he began. If Senator's Stone
and Gore can do as well. the filbuster
is far from end. Republican leaders
apparently have no program other
than to try and wear out filbusterers.
The previous record for a long speech
in the senate was made by Senator
Allen of Nebraska, who opposed the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, and he was aid
ed. by other senators who took much
strain from his voice by frequently
reading extracts from documents.
Mr.. LaFollette had no assistance. In
fact his task was made as difficult
as possible, and his exploit is all the
more remarkable for the reason that
his own party was wholly Without
sympathy for this effort, and h had
but few supporters in the Democrats,
ranks. 1t will be night long TO be
remembered. Republican leaders
are particularly anxious. Senators
Stone and Gore were not permitted
to get an undisturbed nights rest
and they were routed out of bed by
the sergeant at arms and brought
to the senate chambers half dressed.
When Mr.. LaFollette finished. Mr.
Stone OF Missouri secured the floor
and announced that he would prob
| ably speak for 16 hours or more.

CURRENCY
BILL IS
WON
[By Associated Press. ]

Washington, May 80, A p.m.-The
conference report on the Aldrich-
Vreeland currency bill, which Sena-
tor LaFollette and many other SEN
ators were seeking to defeat, was
adopted by the senate this afternoon
following a series of memorable and
dramatic scenes.
All of the affirmative votes were
cast by republicans.
Senators Borah, Brown, Bourne
and Hayburn, republicans. voted
with the democrats against the bill.
Senator LaFollette. who so bitter
ly opposed the bill. voted in the af
firmative for the purpose of moving
a reconsideration of the vote, which
he attempted to do Immediately af-
ter the result was announced; but
he wac met with opposition, his plans
failed and no reconsideration of the
vote was taken.
The republicans who were backing
the bill are very jubilant over the
passage of the conference report.

OUR BOYS
Los I
OUT

From a purely base ball standpoint
the game this afternoon up to the
fifth inning, when the score stood IL
to l in favor of Glenwood Springs.
was no game at all.
Swearengen pitched for the locals
because Burkhardt of the Aggies ag-
gregation, who had promised to be
here, did not arrive. Swearengen
was hit by almost every player WHO
came to the bat for Glenwood, and
they drove the balls wherever they
seemed to desire. Anyway, they
drove them to places where the To-
Gals could not field them. The truth
is that Swearengen is not pitcher
who measures up with any of the
pitchers who have been here lately.
Then Gray and Griffen seemed to
be running a race to see which one
could miss the ball in right and cen
ter. There were four or five costly
errors made right there, which cost
a run or more. They did not seem
to cover their field at all. and any
ball that landed there seemed to be
safe. The Sentinel hates to make
such a criticism; but it was patent
to everyone who was i'm the grand
stand or who watched the game.
In the fourth inning a little fly
properly Richter's ball at third.
Swearengen ran for it, and then,
when he should have taken it. let
it drop to the ground. Schoolboys
might have done better. 0
Goldsworthy, Wenkler and Kitz-
miller played for all that was In
them; but they could not stem the
hard luck that seemed to attend ev-
cry move of the ball.
The base running was also weak,
as compared with the game played
with the Seeleys.
The Glenwood team had a double
battery-Sandusky and, Willett OF
the School of Mines team. Sandusky
pitched and he threw his whole life
into every bali he pitched. He was
well supported. --.-ss. x,
A spectacular player for the Glen
wood team was Bruggeman at short.
He played a magnificent game. His
throwing to first was feature of
the game. The ball seemed as II
it came from a catapult.
Willett missed high fly at cen
ter, but he more than attoned for
this muff by fielding the ball twice
to bases from the out field and catch
ing runners.
Grand Junction must play another
man in the pitchers box tomorrow TO
have any show whatever. They have
the material and the men can play II
they are in the best of condition
but they must have the support OF
a twirler in whom they have conf
dence to win the game. If Burk-
hardt arrives for tomorrow's game,
Grand junction will win; otherwise
it is doubtful.
The concluding innings of the
game showed but little Improvement
although from the fifth to the ninth
inning the locals gained three runs;
but could never overcome the big
lead of Glenwood.
The final score was 13 to 4.

took dinner at the Baer home as
usual and then dressed and went
out. Mrs. Baer thought nothing of
this, and supposed he had returned
and retired some time during the ev-
ening.
This morning when breakfast was
ready Mrs. Baer called to Iimmer-
man, but there was no answer. A
little later she went to his room, and
on looking in. saw to her surprise
that the bed had been unused.
Cartridges in Grip.
In the middle of the room set a
suit case. 1t was partially opened.
In it Mrs. Baer saw a number of
cartridges. She became alarmed and
opening the dresser drawers Mrs.
Baer found in little jewel box a
note addressed to her.
This note simply stated that Zim-
merman had instructed his sons to
settI6 with her for whatever board
and lodging he was indebted to her,
and thanked her for her kindness to
him. M
The clothing and some personal
effects of the unfortunate man were
still in the room. He had not mem
toned gong away at any time yes
terday.
"A little later Mrs. Baer heard of
the suicide.
Called On a Friend.
1t was learned by The Sentinel
that Zimmerman, after leaving the
Baer home last night, had called on
lady friend for a short time. and,
leaving that home at about 10 pm,
went to the hotel. He did not tell
this lady that he was contemplating
ending his life or leaving the city.
Prepared for the End.
There is no question but what
Zimmerman had been planning for
days for the suicide. Every circum-
stance indicates it, and he doubtless
went to the hotel last night fully de-
termined to kill himself before morn
ing.
1t seems that no one in the hotel
heard the fatal shot. but man in an
adjoining build!ng heard the report.
Pathetic in Extreme.
The letter addressed to Mr.. Della
plain and found in the room OF
death speaks most plainly OF llfe
darksned by sadness and disappoint-
ments. 1t was not written in dra-
matte style. 1t is the parting words
of a heart-broken man to one who
had befriended him. 1t is pathetic
in it's every statement.
The letter is written on letter
heads from the Delaplain offices. 1t
was written in ink. There were two
pages.
Letter Dated May %.
The letter to Mr.. DelapIain was
dated MAY %, last Monday, showing
that Zimmerman had suicide under
contemplation then, but did not make
up his mind to end his life until last
night.
"Never Had Better Friend"
In opening the letter declared that
"a man never had a better friend
than you have been to me-; then the
writer expressed his appreciation OF
Mr.. Delaplain's interest in him.
"N-hen we made our arrangements
last fall, the future looked bright to
me and continued so until the frost
came and | lost courage, and the
future looked dark" wrote Zimmer-
man in regard to his business con-
nect,on as a realty salesman for Mr..
Delaplain. The frosts that damaged
the fruit crop had necessarily made
realty sales u little dull.
Fear of Hedplessness.
Zimmerman then referred to his
physical condition. He wrote that
one year ago last January he suf-
fered a severe attack of la grippe,
The daily sentinel., 1908-05-30

which partially paralyzed his left
arm and his tongue. but later he re-
covered the use of the arm and his
tongue. Then he writes: However,
in the last month my appetite has
failed and my arm seems to be leav-
ing its feeling AND THE FEAR
THAT 1 MAY BECOME HELPLESS
AND A BURDEN TO MY FRIENDS
HAS CAUSED ME TO DECIDE TO
GO AWAY AND BID GOODBYE TO
IT ALL"
The letter said that the writer's
life had been sad one. Then he
referred to the death of his beloved
wife, and how during the past few
weeks his thoughts had been entirely
of her. ag.i

At the close, the letter asked Mr.
Delaplain to think as kindly as pos
sible of him who wrote the letter,
and then followed the signature.
In pencil at the bottom of the last
page was written directions for for
warding his mail to his son in Kan

Previous Attempt Made.
1t is learned by The Sentinel that
some weeks Zimmerman made an eff
fort to kill himself making many ar
rangements similar to those he made
yesterday. One day he told Mrs.
Baer he was going to Uteh on u busi-
ness trip. 1t Is known that he went

Zimmerman lad fired the revol-

terrible being the grip of death that
the trigger of the revolver was pulled
out of place and the hammer practi-
cally driven into the metal Of the

that the revolver was wrenched from

A Most Pathetic Case.

There are many circumstances
which make the tragic death of l.
w. Zimmerman one of the saddest
suicides ever known in this city.
Held High Positions.
1t was last September, during the
county fair, that the man came to
Grand Junction from his old home
at Oberlin, Kans., where he had been
employed in bank for several years
and where he was highly respected.
For many years he was manager of
the business of the Globe Invest
ment Company of Boston, Mass. for
large territory embracing many of
the central western states. He made
his headquarters for long time at
Waeeney, Kans., and travelled over
Kansas. Missouri. Oklahoma and 9th
er states, examining loans for the
investment company 1t was po-
stion of great trust and responsible
ity and Zimmerman filled it we'll. He
became well and favorably known in
financial and business circles. He
retired from the position with the
confidence and esteem of the COM
pany and his business associates. He
was a splend.dly qualified, well edu-
Gated man.
