Gordon Bromley, cn airman o toe Democratic city com- mission of Philadelphia, and others representing the Old Guard or Guffey faction. The Philadelphians saw Mr. Tumulty, secretary of the Presiden and laid their cause before him, de claring that the Philadelphia organiza tion was the first in Pennsylvania to declare for Wilson, and not a single Federal place had been apportioned the followers of the Old Guard. Afterward they had a long conference with Rep resentatlve A. Mitchell Palmer "and Roland S. Morris, Democratic state chairman. Mr. Palmer listened, but promised nothing. He took occasion to criticise some members of the Old Guard, not ably Eugene C. Benniweil, for unwar ranted attacks upon the state organ lzation. which was recently character ized as "aristocratic" and opposed to the Democratic methods as expressed In tne primaries. The particular places sought by tne delegation are Superin tendent of the United States Mint and Assistant United States Treasurer at Philadelphia. The terms of the incum bents do not expire for nearly a year. MILLER HELD AS YEGG FOR SECOXD TIME MYHTXE POISfT BANK ROBBER SUSPECT TAKES.

Lindsay, 'of Seattle. The lead the officials nave is a val uable one, it is said, and will with out question-lead to the recovery of the money or at least a portion of what was stolen. A dotective has been working with Miller for the last two weeks and has sufficient evidence, he declares, to es tablish that the prisoner was a sharer In the loot. Miller, It is said, has ad mltted he had "cut up" the proceeds with two others who left the country Immediately following the robbery, go ing to Roseburg and there scattering. The story from Roseburg some time ago which stated a suspect had ap peared there with considerable gold is now considered as the correct solution of the robbery, for Miller's story cor roborates the Roseburg statement. Miller's third of the loot is supposed to be buried in the neighborhood of Myrtle Point in a creek bottom. The prisoner several times tried to show the detectives where the money was hidden, but seemed unable to locate the place. The man who got the evidence against Miller obtained it through a supposed division of the money, and the detective was to get the hidden $3500 and remove it to a safe place and then divide with Miller. Miller was wearing a coat stolen from the Roberts office over the hank which was robbed when arrested. Miller has been in the county about three months and posed as a cook. His first arrest was made at North Bend.
