ZONE MAN" CONVENTION.

Chicago. July 2S.-The Independence
party, which met last night and
launched itself fully into American
politics by opening it's first national
convention, was early today busily en-
gagged in the construction of its initial
platform and in the selection OF its
first presidential candidate.
The resolutions committee which or
ganized last night Immediately after
the convention, by the selection of
Howard NJ Taylor of Chicago as chair
man, continued its work far into the
night and was hard at it at an early
hour today Whether or not the nom
ination is to be the result of dictation
from any source, there can be no pos
sible doubt that the platform when
finally promulgated will be the out
come of discussion entirely free from
dictation of any sort. Planks by the
dozen, on finance on labor and on the
trusts and on all three combined; and
on all shades of variations of all three,
were rained upon the members Of the
committee.
Despite the fact that Hearst has re-
peatedly declared that he will not be
candidate for the presidency, there
is a strong sentiment among the dele
gates for him and he would have less
trouble in securing the nomination if
he desired it.

globe-trotter, to suicides death last
night in an apartment house on Grand
avenue. OBrien was we'll known in

Goaded to the deed by financial re-
verses and possibly by suicide pact,
which was hinted at in letters from
a friend, found among his posses
sions, O'Brien seated himself in front
of large mirror and fired a bullet
through his heart.
On the floor by his side was found a
dime, lying tails" up. and on a ta-
BILE note saying he would flip coin
to determine whether he should kill
himself or not.
Among his possessions was found a
volume of Shakespeare's works, be-
sides numerous note books and news
paper clippings concerning the writ
ings Of the English author Many Of
the passages were marked.
The letters, which hinted at the
suicide pact. were from G.. w. Lang
ford, an official of the Philippine
Fishing Co. in Yamboango, Philippine
Islands. In one of these, dated
March rs, 1908. Langford advised
O'Brien against getting married, say
