CONVENTION HALL READY
Denver Completes Preparations to
Entertain Democrats.
DENVER, Col., May 20. Preparations
for the National Democratic Convention
have been 'practically completed. Work
on the new auditorium has been hur
ried until nothing remains to be done
but to place the seats in position.
Those in charge of the convention for
the national committee say that the
requests for seats are easily twice as
numerous as at any convention the
Democratic jarty has ever held.
Admission tickets to the general
public will provide for seats in cer
tain specified sections to which the
ticket holders will be directed by ush
ers. In this manner confusion and notse
will be eliminated. It is estimated that
at each session of the conven
tion 14.000 people will be provided
with seats. The National Committee
will hold a meeting in Denver in the lat
ter part of June and decide upon, the
temporary chairman. The decorations
for the National Convention will be the
most elaborate that have ever been at
tempted in .Denver. Electrical effects
will be conspicuous In the decorations,
and flags and bunting will be used In a
lavish manner. .
Xatlve School lor Chinese.
SAN FR AN CISCO, May 20. A Chi
nese school where the children of local
Chinese may be educated In Chinese is
to be built In. this city at once. A
site has been purchased, plans drawn
and teachers selected. It will be the
only school of its kind In this country.
The school will be built with 350,000
of the 3100.000 relief fund sent to the
Chinese colony after the fire of April
18. lSJi. Mr. Llan. of Pekin, who has
been appointed a special commissioner
to supervise the work, is now in the
city. Mr. Lian says the reason the
Chinese Government was prompted to
undertake the project was the fact
that there is no school in' this country
where Chinese scholars can acquire .t
practical or. higher education in tU,
Chinese language.

BODY IS WOMAN'S
Coroner Settles Doubts as to
Mrs. Gunness' Death.
NEW EVIDENCE IS FOUND
I.anipliere's Movements on Night of
Fire Traced and His Alibi De
stroyed Verdict on Vic
tims of Murderess.
LA PORTE, -Ind.. May 20. Coroner
Mack late this afternon rendered an of
ficial verdict deolaring the adult fe
male body found April 28 to be Mrs.
Belle Gunness, and that she came to
her death through felonious homicide,
the perpetrator being unknown.
The Coroner Intimated today that he
would find that the causes of death of
th.e 14 victims of the Gunness farm are
unknown.
The body of Jennie Olsen, of Chicago,
was laid at rest this afternoon beside
the body of Andrew Helgeleln, another
alleged victim of Mrs. Gunness.
turned to the home of Elizabeth Smith
after setting fire to the Gunness house
and then made a second start for the
Wheatbrook farm, where he was em
ployed. Is a new theory advanced by
the state. The prosecution professes
to have discovered evidence that not
only was Lamphere seen to go toward
the Gunness house at about 3:30 on
the morning of April 28, but that after
returning to the Smith house he made
a fresh start for the country about an
hour after the first departure, but
that on his second trip he took the
Guentlier road, from which he could
have seen the fire.
If the state Is able to fully support
this theory It will be a blow to Lam
phere's defense, for the accused is
somewhat relying on an alibi that will
show that he went north that morning
on tne Guenther road about an hour
after the fire was started.
ATTACKS A YOUNG GIRL
Aged Pin Peddler Assaults Daughter
of Ellsworth Pickel.
Report has been made by Ellsworth
Pickel. .who -resides at 1029 East Madi
son street, that' an old man, posing as
a peddler of pins and needles, called at
the Pickel residence yesterday and made
an attack on his 14-year-old daughter,
who happened to be alone in the house
at the time. The identity of the man is
not known, but a description of him
has been furnished the police, who are
now looking for him.
According to the story told to the po
lice, the attack was deliberate and had
been well planned. Finding the young
girl alone, the old man plied her with
questions about her neighbors. The girl
who had answered the door bell and
stood talking to the man in the hall
way, finally resented his pertinent ques
tions and told him that she had been
brought up to mind her own business.
'You have, have you." .cried he, and
with that he grabbed her by the throat
The girl struggled free and screamed.
Her cry was heard by Mrs. Green, a
neighbor, who hastened over in time to
see the old man run away. '
The police are said to have discovered
the identity of the man and will prob
ably make an arrest in the case today.
So many cases of. attacks upon young
girl have been reported to the police
within the past few days that an edict
has gone forth from police headquarters
that any person found accosting chil
dren on the street oi peddlers who are
too insistent with their wares are to be
summarily arrested.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 20. The President today
sent to the Senate the nomination of
William F. McGregor, of Astoria, to be
Collector of Customs at that port. This
evening the Senate confirmed the nomi

pointment. The writer of this letter,
whose name cannot be learned, was In

tending to disqualify Mr. McGregor, but
he never replied. After waiting a rea
sonable time, the President nominated
Mr. McGregor.
Out of compliment to Mr. Fulton, the
nomination was confirmed the day it
came in.
