LETTER CAUSE OF TRAGEDY
Denver Woman Kills Husband and
Ends Her Own Life.

Denver, July 26.-Because Frank
Ferres of this city permitted woman
other than his wife to write him an
affectionate twenty-page love letter he
is dead, slain by his wife, and Mrs
Ferres is dead by her own hand.
The double tragedy occurred after
Mrs. Ferries had spent four hours
reading and rereading the letter,
signed Marie" she found in her hus-
bands pocket.
Mrs. Ferres waited until after her
husband had gone to sleep and then,
placing revolver against his temple,
blew out his brains.
Neighbors found her sitting on the
bed gazing into her husbands bloody
face and still grasping the revolver.
She appeared to be in a daze, but
when they aroused her she calmly
told them what had happened and
then fed. In the rear yard Mrs.
Ferries blew out her own brains.

THINKS He WAS DRuGGED
Jeffries Would Like to Prove Reno
Fiuht Was Not Square.

Avalon, Catalina Island, Cal, July
26-"There was something the mat
ter with me. They sure did some
thing TO me and it will all come out
some day"
These words from the lips OF the
man who seemed the prototype Of the
dying gladiator at Reno are the first
that Jim Jeffr:es has uttered in con-
nection with the fight since he was
taken to Oakland. beaten pulp of
man, and the first In which he has
voiced any suspicion of others.
The word drugs" he did not use,
but the deliberate mind of the big
giant, which has been slowly recuper-
ating from the agony of defeat, has
come to that conclusion. He did not
offer it as an excuse for his failure;
he. was simply thinking aloud, explain
ing it to himself.
1t is a safe prediction that he will
seek the opportunity, not to wipe out
the disgrace OF defeat, but to prove
that the Reno fight was not square

New York, July 26.-After its rec

hottest day of the season, the official
mercury hovered above or not far be-
meath the eighty mark all night. The
prospects were for another sizzling
day, although something of breeze
breeze from the southwest and less
percentage of humidity tended to al
leviate conditions. Despite this pros
tratIon cases began to be reported
early.
Five deaths which occurred in the
last twenty-four hours are attributed
to the heat. Thousands of tenement
dwellers were unable to stand the
heat of the crowded districts during
the night and fled to the parks for
refuge.
A degree of comfort was found in
the open spaces where the breeze that
sprang up in the night had chance
to get in it's beneficient work.

London, July 26.-Tales of splendid
heroism, in many cases resulting in
death, were told in messages from
Toxic regarding the sinking Of the
Tetsurei Maru off Chindo, Korea, with
the loss of 101 lives.
When the little vessel, fogbound,
crashed on the shore and began sink
ing there was no panic. Officers and
men calmly began filling the lifeboats
with passengers, women and children
first, but there were not enough boats.
When the last liferaft had been showed
off from the sinking vessel the crew
gathered on the highest deck and
calmly stood there to await death in
the sea. Survivors report that there
was not a single instance of cowardice
or panic.

mated by party demanding the

tHe SonNentiOny as MOSt OF Lne Ieit-
gates Are UnpIedged-conside rabIe
Differences in Platforms Suggested
by the Two Factions.
Columbus, O., July 26.-The Repub-
!ican leaders and delegates who are
here for the state convention of the
Republican party are frankly awaiting
word from James r. Garfield, the
leader of the progressiyes. Although
the nominations will be made Wednes-
day the leaders are as far from agree
ment upon a candidate for governor
as they were a month ago.
AS the great majority of the dele
gates are unpledged the state leaders
are greatly interested in the number
of votes which Mr.. Garfield will claim
for the progressive camp. 1t is con
sidered that this will have a direct
bearing upon the platform to be adopt
ed and, hence, upon the candidate for
governor.
The only considerable divergence
between the platform suggested by
Mr.. Garfield three weeks ago and that
outlined by Wade II. Ellis, one of the
regular" leaders and friend to the
president, is in the endorsement of the
present national administration and
the recently enacted tariff law, which
Mr. Ellis insisted upon
Hope to Reach Compromise.
1t was admittedly hoped that a basis
of agreement might be reached on an
outline such as that indicated by Mr.
Ellis.
The fight of the progressive element
has been thus EAR wholly for an adj
vanced platform and it was expected
that Mr. Garfield would indicate how
far the suggestions made by Mr.. Ellis
for an extension of referendum and
other state reforms, coupled with an
endorsement of the president and his
policy, will satisfy the progressives.
Senators Burton and Dick have not
been actively in league with the cam
paign for the nomination of Judge o.
B. Brown of Dayton, who is supported
by George b. Cox, and it was stated
; that an acceptance by the progress
siyes of some candidate other than
Mr.. Garfield himself. on possible
modification of the platform suggested
by Mr.. Ellis, would do much to bring
about an agreement of the leaders
aside from Mr.. Cox himself.

DEMOCRATS TOFlGHT MURPHY
Follow Osborn in Convention to Con-
troll Campaign.

New York, July ga strong show

tends to prevent if possible Charles F.
Murphy of Tammany from controlling
the Democratic state convention in
September and naming the candidate
for governor In this movement are
Democrats connected with the state
committee as well as with the Demo
cratic State league.
Friends of Thomas Mott Osborn,
chairman of the Democratic State
league, are in town consulting with
important Democrats on steps to bring
about Osborns nomination for gov
ernor. They came here at the request
of Osborn, they said, and the counsel
they received was to inform Osborn
to get all the delegates he could from
every part of the state, on the theory
that the more candidates there are in
the field and the more delegates
pledged to these various candidates
the more difficult it will be for Muir
ply to control the convention and
name his own candidate for governor.

With Strikers.


Officials Announce Their intention to
Run Trains if Given Adequate Pro-

Shops AIcng tho Entire System Re
open, Giving Employment to Ten
Thousand Men.
Montreal, July 26.-Solution Of the
Grand Trunk strike problem is now
in sight, according to the company'8
officials. Ii neither includes, they say,
arbitration nor any further ncgotia-
tions with the 5000 conductors and
trainmen who struck week ago for a
wage scale higher than the 25 per
cent increase awarded by the board of
Cancellation. The only essential yet
to be provided for in the situation,
from the company's point of view, as
set forth in the message sent by Pres
ident Hays to Mackenzie King, minis
ter of labor, is adequate protection of
the company's property and employees,
especially those who have taken the
place of the strikers.
while we were DESTROYS of arbitra-
tion," says President Hays, time for
such action has been passed"
The strike leaders, on the other
hand, expressed the utmost conf
dence in the steadfastness of their
ranks and their ability to force the
railroad to terms by an irremediable
freight paralysis.
Accepting Freight of All Kinds.
The railroad officials began the week
with an ambitious programme. 1t was
announced that freight of all kinds
would be accepted for immediate ship
ment. The shops at various points,
closed a week ago, were reopened.
Practically all the ten thousand EN-
ployes returned to their places.
Several minor wrecks, alleged by
the railroad officials to be due to tam.
pering with switches by unauthorized
persons, and declared by strike lead
ers to have been accidents resulting
from handling of trains by ineXperi-
enced men, have been called to the at
tention of the authorities.
The local militia at Brockville.
which has been a storm center, is said
not to be doing satisfactory protective
