Bed Bugs Keep Rooms
 From Renting

Many desirable rooms don't rent for the simple reason that they are known to be infested with Bed Bugs. Spend 25 cents and clean your home, and your rooms will rent. Tell the public your house has been cleaned with Cyrus Presto Killer and the applicant for rooms will be satisfied. There IS nothing better made, moth ing so clean to use and noth- ing so harmless to human beings-it does not burn. Try a can 25 cents, it is worth money to you.

CAYNOR SAYS ZEN DUBS" TO
 CANDIDACY

Baltimore. June 1e.--Oyershadow. ed, politically. by the sensational go ings on in Chicago. Baltimore wei comes the prospective end of tho battle there and will itself shine ir the linelight. next week.
 Final plans are rapidly being con- templated and before the week endi MarylAnd's metropolis will be ready to care for the Democratic hosts. There ts strong sentiment among Democratic leaders who have arrived here in favor of changing the two thirds rule to 8 majority. As to can. didatee there are seven having pledged delegates in their favor and there Il much gossip regarding a few possible dark horses.
 Best estimates made. stoday, of the strength of the active candidate, credit Clark with 412. Harmon 31 II. and Burke 10. There will be 1,os6 delegates in the convention, the winner of the presidential nomination will have to muster TIA of them.
 Unpledged delegates number POI are receiving distinguished attentions from the representatives of the can- dtdates.
 A result of the primary election system the great bulk of the dele gates have instructions direct from the people and are immune to the erstwhile influence of party bossea. Mayor Gaynor, of New York, when he was asked about a report that his name will be presented at tho dark horse stage of the convention. De- spite the quip with which the mayor dismissed the subject. suggestion that he may enter tho race has caused a the stamping grounds. If Gaynor should throw hie hat in the ring with the backing of TAmmany Leader Murphy delegates. it would be an inn pressive feature of the contest.
 Governor Foss, of Massachusetts, is also regarded as possibility in the
 Half dozen party leaders are be- ing considered for selection as tenn porary chairman of the convention. The number includes Judge Alton B. Parker. who is favored by Murphy. head of Tamnany, Senator o'Gorman, porters. Ollie James, Senator elect from Kentucky, and Representatives Deremus, of Detroit, and Sulzer, of New York. No friction in reaching an agreement is in sight-and all that the representatives of tho candidates ask is that 8 fair man be chosen for the position.
 Leaders are urging that the platform should be brief and to the point.
 Suffragfsts are on the ground with demands for their rights. Several women will have seats as delegates in the convention.
 One other Democratic national con- vention was held in Baltimore, in 1882. The candidates selected were Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. They won.

DANIEL SULLIVAN DEAD
Former Bridgeporter Dies At Ho0o in BrookAyn-RemainS Coming
 Here.

News of the death of Daniel Sulit- van at his home in Brooklyn yester- day was Feeeived hsra tcdaS and was the cause of deep regret to many of his acquaintances. Mir. Sullivan met with an accident to one of his limbs some years ago and since that time he had been failing. His demise was not unexpected by his family. Flu neral services including a requiem high mass will be sung for the repose of his soul at the Church of the Holy Innocents, Brooklyn, Thursday morn- ing, following which the remains will be brought to this city and later in. tered in the family burial plot in St. MichaePs cemetery. The. deceas- ed is survived by . widow, three daughters the Misses Catherine, Madeline and Ina, and three sons, Daniel, Jr., William s. and Charles A., all of whom now make their home n Brooklyn. The family until they left this city about 10 years ago were resi- dents of George street and were among the foremost Catholic families of this city. Mir. Sullivan was z<-- merly we'll known as a contracting teamster. Following his injury ns gave up trucking and conducted . business for some years in the North End.

ental railroad rates but upon rsilroad rates to the most interior parts of the country.
 Tt stands to reason that the rail- roads are not going to work against their own interests and If they are permitted to own and operate boats through the canal such operation and control will tend to reduce water com. petition in order to benefit railroad transportation.
 ], we are attempting to regulate railroad rates and the best way in my judgment to prevent exorbitant rates through monopoly Is to prohibit railroad owned boats psssins throuGh the canal The Senate bill does thu under Limitations.
 Tt is known as a matter of history that railroads have used their steam- ships, not only to prevent competifton but to destroy competitors.
 This new enterprise should be kept Iree from all probability of monopoly. My judgment is that the House bill, 70 far as the canal is concerned. ts better calculated to preserve free and open waterway than the bill re- ported by the Senate Committee"
