Washington, Ia, June 19.-SpeciaI:
Washington people are perturbed
over the unusual death of Miss Eliza
beth Maitlen, aged about twenty-three
years, yesterday at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Earl Barnett. Miss Matt
len called to her sister shortly after
one o'clock, stating that she was i'll.
A doctor was called immediately and
he observed that she had symptoms
of arsenic poisoning. He left the pa.
tient several hours later, evidently
resting easily. She died shortly after
six o'clock.
The evening before V. Blaine Ash.
err called at the home and remained
with Miss Maitlen until late hour,
taking the morning passenger for
Chicago.
Mrs. Barnett, the deceased's sister,
cannot lend any information that will
go to fathom the mystery, if there is
any. Mr.. Asher brought with him
some chocolates and the two ate
them. Some of them remained, and
together with the stomach was sent
to the State University at Iowa City
where they will be examined and a
report made to the authorities here.
Meanwhile developments will be await
ed. Nothing points toward murder,
suicide, or accidental poisoning, ex-
cept the bare circumstantial evidence
that is at hand. The deceased gave
no evidence before her death of any
thing unusual.

Des Moines, June Especial: A
special from Chicago this afternoon
says rumors of Cummins for COM

reported that newspapers at noon
were spreading out story that
Barnes has telegraphed to Taft for
relief of the New York delegates af-
ter the first ballot, his intention being
to turn to Judge Hughes, Senator
Root or Senator 'Cummins.
Mckinley, the Taft manager, de.
MES this.
Senator Kenyon, the dispatch says,
said at noon: Leaders ON both sides
have held their forces together so
far, but neither has enough to nomi,
nate" He has held several confer
ences with both Taft and Roosevelt
delegates. The delegates with no
axes to grind are anxious for a COM
promise candidate who can be elect
ed. Many think If the convention
turns down the Roosevelt contest for
seats of his sc delegates ousted by
the national committee, he will start
another convention in the same hall.
Then will come Cummins' chance If
demand for a third candidate is
strong enough, and with all this the
fear is growing that Root in his tenn
porary speech is himself playing for
the nomination.
Every action of the convention
yesterday as it developed in Chicago
points to progressive success and
the nomination of Roosevelt" said
Mayor Hanna, who returned from Chi
cago this afternoon. He says there
was more optimism in the Cummins
quarters last night than there had
been at any other time since the op,
ening of the convention. Taft = says
Mayor Hanna, lis almost certain to
be a loser"
