BERNARDO NEAR
DEATH IN HOSPITAL
Police Fail to Advance a Theory
of the Death of Italians
Girl Bride.

Struggling for breath as though every
gasp would be his last. Jerry Bernardo,
who was overcome by Illuminating gas
in his room. at 40 X Street Northwest.
on Tuesday night. when his bride Of four
days, Mrs. Martha Keys Bernardo, twen-
ty years old, was killed by the fumes,
was declared last night by physicians at
Casualty Hospital to have only one
chance in a hundred OF recovery.
The police have failed utterly to ad-
vance a theory of the death Of the girl
bride which can be clearly substantiated
by fact.
John May. an Italian. of II P Street
Northeast, with whom Bernardo lived
prior 10 his wedding. and who intro
duced Bernardo to the former Miss
months ago. called at Casualty Hospital
last nigth. May bent over the uncon-
scIous Bernardo and tried vainly to
arouse the man.
On Tuesday night. just after learning
OF the asphyxiation OF Mrs. Bernardo.
May declared that Robert Keys. father
Of the girl, witnessed her wedding and
wished her good luck. Keys. when he
arrived in Washington TO arrange for the
girls funeral, denied that he had wit
messed the wedding and said he had not
heard of II until he was told of his
daughters death.
May was asked las: night why he
said the girls father attended the cere-
mony. The Italian declined to answer.
Bernardo, who has been unconscious
for fiftyfour hours. is gradually grow
ing weak through lack of food. A
physician is in almost constant attend
anCe and a policeman is detailed at the
hospital. waiting TO question Bernardo
IL he should regain consciousness.
Arrangements for the funeral Of Mrs.
Bernardo have not yet been completed.

LECTURES ON HENRY GEORGE.

Tax Exponent's Philosophy.
Henry George and His Philosophy.
was the subject of a lecture delivered
last night by II. Martin Williams, OF
Illinois. at a meeting OF the Woman 5
Single Tax Club, in the Public Library.
Mr.. williams, who was an intimate
friend of the famous single tax exponent.
told of many incidents in the life OF
Henry George. The funeral services OF
Henry George, Mr.. Williams declared
were the most remarkable ever held
this country. A Jewish rabbi, a Catholic
priest, a Unitarian minister. and an Epis-
copaI clergyman, oficiated. At one time
during the services the 1900 people
broke into cheers which lasted for ten
minutes. The cheers, Mr.. Williams eN-
planned. were not disrespectful to the
dead. for they grew out of the mention
of Mr.. George as a friend to all mankind.

ROTHIEMAY WILL
CELEBRATE nth

To the Editor of the Journal.
Dear Sir: Would like to have you
give us a write upin your next week s
issue regardinga Il Fourth Of July cele-
bration which is going to be pulled
off at Rothiemay. Please do not say
tits being planned. 1t has been plan
ned and is a sure thing for the Fourth.
This celebration Of horse sports will
undoubtedly be the best ever given
in the state. Although it will not be
as extensively advertised as the Bill
lings farce of last year, it will be Of
the highest calibre in every respect,
as it is being handled by men who
know how to manage an affair of this
kind; men who know theinside work
ngs of the Big Cheyenne Frontiers
Day celebration, which celebration
we will reproduce at Rothiemay.
The location, as you know, is ideal
"a big wide flat and within easy
reach of every one who can ride Il
horse or drive one.
One Of the features will be a big
bowery dance, platform, 6oN6o, with
full orchestra. There Will also be
big band on the grounds all day.
An admission of 81 will be charged
all adults, and unlike these free for
nothing celebrations that have moth
ing, we will be there with the goods,
and we are going to pay to get the
best.
There will be over $3.50 given away
in cash prizes, which will insure the
best of talent and horses. and will
give everyone, who comes, cause to
remember Rothiemay.
All contests and races are free for
all. The more the merrier. The
judges will be square and impartial.
and mounted so that they can Judge
accurately and will be men of exper-
ience.
1t will include a big bucking con-
test, roping contest, rope spinning
contest, quarter mile race, half mile
race, half mile ladies' race, stake
race. quarter mile turn stake and
back, relay race one mile, change
horses and saddle at half mile post.
quarter mile pony race, and half mile
pony race.

N. P. ROAD UNDER
MORGAN CONTROL

Seattle. May "a Has James J.
Hill parted with control of the North
ern Pacific railway and has that con-
troll passed to the Morgan interests to
such an extent that the Chicago Il
Northwestern eventually will domin-
ate in Northern Pacific affairs?
An affirmative answer to this ques-
ton, alike interesting to firanciers
and railroad officials, is given by we'll
known local bankers, whose sources
of information in New York apparent
ly are beyond question as to reliabil-
ity and authenticity.
The chief elements in the gigantic
Atlantic to Pacific railroad system,
in the firm belief of local tinanciers
as we'll as eastern financial authori-
ties. will be the New York Central
lines, the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Northern Pacific.

MONTANA TO BE
GREAT OIL FIELD

Billings, Mont, May 29.-Gas and
oil are practically unlimited in guam
titles will be found in the cottonwood
district, which is located about 20
miles southwest of this city in the
opinion of r.. J. Connolly, an Okla
homa oil expert who has made a care
full investigation of that region. and
who has headed a company which
will begin operations in IA short time.
Two wells were sunk in the district a
few years ago and although their
depth is only 175 feet the gas pres
sure is sufficiently strong to keep six
inch streams of water flowing con-
stantly, and when lighted the gas
burns to a height Of ten feet. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Connolly that if
drill is sent to a depth Of l 100 to p
600 feet an enormous lake of oil will
be tapped and the gas resulting from
this will be piped to this city and 9TH
er places III the state.

cinct gathered at Bain's hall last Sat
urday evening in caucus, according
to the call issued by the county CEN
trail committee, and organized as fol-
lows:
Chairman-C. l.. Beers.
Secretary-C. l.. Sullivan.
After the call was read, the follow
ing delegates to the county cOnven-
tion at White Sulphur Springs Mon
day. were elected:

Sullivan.
Alternates--T. l.. Davis, G. NJ.
Gurley, W. 7. Fringer, P.J. Murphy,
&. b. Riedeman.
On motion the caucus ballotted on

unanimous vote for Champ Clark,

egation from this county to the Balti-
more convention favorable to the
gentleman from Missouri.
J. K. Balm and Robert PiephO left
Monday morning as delegates and
with proxies to represent Judith Gap
In the county convention.
Unlike the republican county GEN.
tral committee. which was under the
hypnotic influence Of Boss T0Oley,
the democratic county central COM
mittee, in the spirit Of fairness, al
lowed the democrats Of the county to
say who they wanted for president.
That they appreciated the opportun-
ity to register their preference was
demonstrated by the big turnout last
Saturday night.
