CRica9o TftOuho-Omaha Nee Leased Wire.
Chicago, June Ill. O.. Brown,
a~wealthy Wheaton jewcler. his
aged wife, their daughter and
tiny grandchild, were beaten to the
point of death today by 'Nola E.
Robinson, a maniac who had just
escaped from the asylum for the in
sane at Elgin, ILL., Robinson married
a daughter of the Browns. He met
her while he was doing duty as
sailor in Grant park during the war,
and married her after a whirlwind
courtship. After he was discharged
from the navy he rejoined his wife
and they set up housekeeping in
Chicago flat. Robinson soon began
to display flashes of mad cruelty
and became SO violent that just be-
fore her baby was born, Mrs Pob-
inson was forced to take refuge in
the home of her parents in
Wheaton.
: The day after the baby was born
Robinson appeared at the home,
broke down the doors, abused and
struck his wife's mother and left
his wife on the verge of collapse
Six weeks later he returned,
knocked down his ;ister-in-law,
stole his baby daughter and -
capped, He was finally rounded up
at Dallas, Tex, on his way to Mex
leo. In the Wheaton Jail he tried
to commit suicide by slas':ing his
wrists. As soon as he was released
he returned to the Browns resi-
dnece, broke down the ioors and
gave his wife a terrible beating.
For this he was sent to the asy-
lum.
Monday night he escaped from the
asylum and made his way to
Wheaton. He was armed with bar

track and with this struck down his
father-in- law, mother-in-law. wife
and baby. He also stabbed his wife
several times and then carried her
three miles, licking the blood from
her wounds, and finally threw her
on the steps of a farm house.
The skulls of both the elder peo-
pie were crushed by the blows and
they and the wife are not expected
to live. The baby may recover, al
though physicians say its skull also
was fractured. II hope l killed all

WILSON ROLLER
REJECTED HIM,
REED DECLARES
Missouri Senator Says Petty
Politics of Machine May
Alternate Many Votes for
Democratic Party.

San Francisco, Cal, June H.
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri,
whose claim to a seat in the conven-
ton from the Fifth Missouri district
was rejected by the national commit
tee, tonight gave out statement
asserting that the action can be taken
as nothing more or less than an-ef-
fort to Exclude from the councils OF
the party man whose democracy is
unchallenged and unquestioned, sole
ly upon the ground that in the
United States senate, acting under
his oath of office, he opposed the
league of nations"
Senator Reed said he did not seek
the seat in the convention. II was
elected in the first instance during
my absence in Washington" he said,
"and felt that | could do nothing
less than respond to the request of
the largest democratic district in the
United States. The objection to my
credentials was purely technical.
May Hurt Party. N-
No one was here claiming the seat,
indeed, the alternate refused to take
the seat to which | had been elected
and sent me as proxy, authorizing
me to act in his stead"
Continuing, Senator Reed said:
THE unfortunate part, of it is that
if the impression goes abroad that
men ought to be excluded from par
ticipation in the democratic coun-
ellis because they are not for the
league of nations as Mr.. Wilson de-
livered it, then large percentage Of
the democratic party throughout the
nation may feel that they are in like
manner TO be excluded. If a similar
policy is to be pursued of excluding
those who do not agree with every
thing the machine of the party de-
sires, it might result in the exclusion
of man because he wasN a wet Or
because he was dry. or because ne
was in favor of woman suffrage,
or against it, The result would be
minority party.
Technicality Plea Absurd.
"Any claim that | was rejected be-
cause of any technicality arising
ever the character of my credentials
sinks into absurd;ty in view of the
fact that the national committee
seated two delegates from the Pan
anna canal zone merely because they
came claiming to represent demo-
Gratis of the zone who had assembled
On their own motion without any call
or authority from the national COM
mittee
Having done this act of justice to
the democrats who were in the canal
zone and not represented. having
all technicalities, the
committee proceeded to deny me 4
seat although l came as the undiS.
puted representative OF district con-
tanning 100000 white inhabitants and

without which the democratic party
cannot hope to carry the state of

Delegates in Dark as to Stand
White, House will Take on
Prohibition But Little
Change in Candidates.

San Francisco, June T.--Issues,
rather than men. furnish the battle
ground for the democratic national
convention.
Candidates cannot be considered
until prohibition, the league of ma
tons and ,the Irish question have
been fought out on the floor. Con-
tests over those planks in the party
platform seem inevitable and the
convention is all set for a stormy
time.
The big fight is over William J.
Bryan's determination to have "a
platform no wet can run on" On
this the administration-or Wilson
forces appear so far to be pursuing
hands-off policy. AS yet no one
knows what we expect from the
White House.
On the league of nations issue the
administration forces are lined up
for a plank modelled after the Nir
ginia platform which declares for
covenant without destructive reser-
vations." Mr.. Bryan and his asso-
ciates want declaration for the
league with reservations "to safe
guard every interest" The lines Of
the fight over the Irish question
are not SO clearly defined.
Little Change Apparent.
While the question of issues is
boiling. little change is apparent III

candidates Cox and Palmer are ex-
pected to go in for test of strength

race at the republican convention
In the background waiting to ap-
pear at what they consider the~psy-
Geological moment, are the invisible

RAINIER 1orCes, pothtliS 10 the anu
saloon declarations of war or Cox
and Bryan's expressed views on the
same subject, predict that any &C
cessions to another candidate will
not be made from their strength. .
Meanwhile both the Cox and Pal
mer managers are borrowing dele
gates from the field to make a show
ing OF the opening ballots. In line
with their policy of forcing the nom
ination to call their candidate. the

been selected as floor leader for the

disclaimed that theirs was an anti

ests, declared they regarded the

Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue of
New York will be the architect who
will prepare the plans for the new
state capitol for which a special levy
was passed by the last legislature
which will raise approximately S.

The jury which has been work
ing Upon the plans submitted by 10
of the leading architects of the coun-
try, after celebrating upon the plans
submitted since Friday morning de-
cided today that Mr.. Goodhue
showed the ability to draw up the
plans which in the minds of the cam-
tol commission is needed.
The plans submitted by Mr.. Good
hue probably will not be the plans
from which the capitol will be built.
The idea of the commission and jury
was to discover which architect ap-
peared to best carry out the ideas
they wanted covering beauty, ability
to get the space needed and still
come within the appropriation.
On the plans submitted the senate
chamber, representative hall and the
supreme court rooms all will be on
the ground floor, although there will
be a basement which will accom-
modate a large number of the minor
departments and be furnished with
a cafe and other modern improve
ments.
Leading Architects.
According to the jury eight of the
plans submitted came from men
who are considered among the best
in the country, while three of these
are the cream of architects of the
United States. Mr.. Goodhue has
shown his ability along, archi-
tectural lines, having designed the

that any increase would benefit only
few carriers while increasing to
all railroads the cost of equipment

Am at End of the Rope"

If Police Captain John T. Dunn,
chief Of detectives, is dismissed from
the police department and if Mayor
Smith makes good on declarations
made to city commissioners in exec
utive session and private conversa-
ton the last two days, the Dunn
case promises to start sensational
shakeup of the whole police admin
istration, involving both Chief Eber-
stein and Superintendent Ringer.
Will City Commissioner Fal- =
coner, when he returns to the city,
make Dunn's dismissal certain by
becoming the fourth commissioner
to vote against Dunn?
The two big "ifs" are these:
Will Mayor SmitlH stand pat"
or change his mind?
How Mayor Says He Stands.
In an executive conference of
commissioners Saturday answering
Police Commissioner Ringers insist
ent demand for Dunn's dismissal, the
mayor declared willingness to vote
to remove Police Chief Eberstein,
if Dunn should fall. On another oc-
casion within the last week, the
mayor said he would also be willing
in such case, to vote to remove Ring
er from the superintendency of the
police department.
In either event, judged by pre-
vious expressions, the mayors vote
would give majority vote for the
respective changes.
Says Dunn Is Good Officer.
"I have suffered many bruises for
the sake of supporting the Ringer
police administration" said the
"but l have come to the end
