picion, Refuses 10 Talk.

W Aohh'
Chicago, July 17.-Miss Ella
Bloomberg, 25 years old, dressmak-
er, died suddenly yesterday at the
home of Mrs. Carl Heidelman, in
haywood, under circumstances
which point to a possible murder.
William Golden was arrested last
night at a drug store where he was
employed, and held in connection
with Miss Bloomberg's death. He re-
fused to talk except to admit that he
had been with Miss Bloomberg Tues
day night. Golden, who is married,
and Miss Bloomberg are said to have
been friends for the last six years.
Mrs Heidelman at the inquest tes-
titled that she heard Miss Bloomberg
groan, and on going to her room
found an unlabeled bottle near her
side, partly filled with a drug. She
died soon after a physician arrived.
The doctor was unable to tell the ma
ture of the poison and an effort will
be made to clear up the mystery
]. A. Bloomberg, father of the dead
woman, testified that his daughter
met Golden six years ago at New Or
leans and Travelled with him in the
west and south. For more than a
year. according to his statement, his
daughter was aware that Golden was
married. but refused to give him up.
She frequently insisted, he said, that
she would marry Golden or remain
single. Two months ago she left her
fathers home and remained away ever
since. A $4,000 insurance policy was
carried by Miss Bloomberg. The pay
ments on 1t are said to have been
made by Golden.

MatIOck and Tweedy Attended
National Democratic Con-
vention.
PROSPECT GOOD FOR
BRYAN's ELECTION
Democratic Convention Was a Spec
tacular Assemblage-Cheered for
Bryan One Hour and % Minutes
Greatest Demonstration in History
of American Polltics-Over $4,000
Visitors and Delegates Thronged
ColoradO's Capital

A spectacle that is TO be witnessed
but once or twice in the life Of an or
dinary man, is the way the national
democratic convention recently held
at Denver, is described by W F. Mat
lock and T. j. Tweedy, who returned
last night from Denver.
Mr.. Matlock was a delegate from
oregon to the convention and Mr..
Tweedy accompanied him from this
city as a spectator and secured a seat
In the auditorium where he attended
every session of the remarkable meet
ing.
1t is estimated that there were 66,-
900 delegates and visitors in Denver
during the convention week and with
all her boasted hotel facilities Dem
yer was crowded to the limit to en-
tertain the crowd.
1t was a most remarkable meeting
and was an illustration Of the pecul-
lar characteristics OF the human spe-
cies. At one time when Senator Gore
of Oklahoma mentioned the name OF
Bryan in a speech, the convention
went wild and cheered without cessa-
ton for one hour and 2S minutes.
State delegations headed by the Ne
braska delegation, marched and
countermarched about the convention
hall with banners streaming and
voices shouting until they were
hoarse.
All but six states Joined in this
first demonstration. Those staying
out at that time were New York,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut Georgia and Illinois. Every 9TH
er delegation joined in the demonstra-
ton on and made Rome howl" as IL
were for an hour and a half.
Tammany was there with 500 MEM
bers. The Oklahoma delegation
brought along 600 rooters. A Chicago
club was there in uniform and high
silk hats and created a sensation In
all the professions and parades.
1t was the greatest, most spectac-
ular, most uncomfortable mass Of hu-
manity ever witnessed in action by
the Pendleton men and they do not
expect to see its equal again. The
bare mention of the name of Bryan
was cause for a demonstration and
often the chairman pounded the desk
for order, but all in vain.
However, the auditorium had been
constructed with a view to securing
excellent acoustics and it is said that
when order was restored and the
vast assemblage settled down to busi-
ness that speakers could be plainly
heard in all parts of the building,
when speaking in an ordinary tone
of voice. The seating capacity of the
auditorium was $4,000 people and It
was filled 10 the limit most of the
time
Looks Good for Bryan. ~
According to the observations OF
the Pendleton men, Bryan will be
elected president new York declar-
ed that she would carry the state for
Bryan, "by force, if necessary" ac-
cording to Tammany speaker. The
middle western states are enthusiastic
cally for the Nebraskan and the west
is going to give him its usual hearty
support.
The only man to go home "sore"
was Guffey of Pennsylvania and it is
not believed that he can take away
any strength from Bryan.
