There are seven republicans, seven
democrats and seven members of the
Chicago Association of Commerce on
the committee to make II wholly

only one.half of the money subscribed
will be collected in the event that
Chicago gets only one of the big
conventions.
I'VE want both of them. and II will
be the best business proposition Chi.

Mr.. Upham. I'VE might entertain one
convention for 100000, whereas the
cost Of taking care Of both conven.

100000. With two conventions there
could be a saving of $4,000 In ar.

GUEST DEAD, HOST NEARLY so.
William Walkers Body Found in
Room With Daniel Jackson.

William Walker, colored. thirty years
old. was found dead at 1915 Howison
street southwest this morning, and In
the room with the body Daniel Jack
son, colored, forty years old, was found
unconscious. The police scented q
mystery. There was nothing about
the premises to suggest the cause of
death. They could not have been as
phyxiated by Illuminating gas. the
police said. because there was no gas
in the small house.
DR.. John Ladd of Casualty Hospital
responded with an ambulance. He
found that Walker had been dead some
little time and that Jackson was nearly
dead. The physician was unable to
reach a definite conclusion as to the
cause of Jackson's Inconsistencies, he
said, and he hurried him to the hos
pital.
Walkers body was taken to the
morgue. The police learned that Walk
er, who probably had tuberculosis, Wis
tied the Howison street house last
night as a guest of Jackson. His
cough was SO bad that one occupant
of the house refused to remain. This
morning a neighbor went to the house
to see if jackson, a cripple. was In need
of anything, and she wa surprised to
find him unconscious aid his guest
dead.
At the morgue it was sal that Walk
er's death probably was cue to tuber-
culosis and a complication of diseases
and that Jackson's condi; on proba bly,
resulted from natural Gauss.

TO PRISON TILL CURED"
Sing Sing Warden Urges New Form
Of Indeterminate Sentence.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Thomas Mott
Osborne, warden Of Sing Sing prison.
advocated a new form of indeterminate
sentence for malefactors in an address
before the Parents League of New
York here yesterday. He suggested
that the members of the league write
to members of the legislature in sup
port of a measure to provide that
man should be sent to prison until he
should be pronounced cured"
.It is a ridiculous idea for a Judge to
send a man to prison and state before
hand how long he must stay" he said.
"It would be just as foolish to send
man to a hospital and tell him he
must stay there two weeks because he
had the measles"
Warden Osborne told his audience
that they and not the prisoners needed
reforming; that they should look upon
the prison as a place Of education and
not of punishment.
