SENDS KERN TO FAR WEST Democratic Leaders Confer in Chi cago and Decide to Make Middle West and Atlantic States Battle-Ground for Votes. CHICAGO. Aug. 22. William J. Bry an will make a determined effort to place New York State In the Demo cratic column.

Mr. Bryan will speak in New York, Syracuse and Rochester between Sep tember 16 and 20, and early in October will again speak in New York City and in Buffalo.

Make East Battle-Ground. It was the opinion of those taking ac tive part in the committee's deliberations that the most effective campaign for Mr. Bryan would be to make speeches In all the Middle West states, speaking only In the principal centers and then to carry the fight through West Virginia, Mary land, Delaware, New Jersey and New York State. Much of the time. It was sug gested, Mr. Bryan would spend on these trips In conference with the National committeemen and state leaders and in this way give valuable aid and direction In the various state campaigns.

THE EVENTS OF THE' WEEK ARE OF HIS USUALLY HUMOROUS Twill Do Htm Good. Prices. Bound With Heavy Sales. BOLD WORK OF SPECULATORS Matching of Orders Suspected by Brokers. WANT AN INVESTIGATION Sales of Blocks of 5000 Shares Make It Impossible for Small Dealers to Secure Recognition Har riman Stocks Take Drop. NEW YORK, Aug. 22. (Special.) In to day's two-hour session of the New York Stock Exchange, transactions amounted to 1,136,000' shares, more than 1,000,000 of which were stocks of only 11 companies. Prices fluctuated between sales in a most remarkable manner. Experienced brokers said they had never seen such extraordi nary evidences of bold manipulation. Wholesale matching of orders being sus pected, the sheets showing the day's transactions will be closely scrutinized, as they go through the stock exchange clearing-house - Monday. Many brokers talked of askirg the governors of the exchange to make an investigation. Yes terday's aggregate sales were 660,000 shares at the five-hour session and no news to account for today's sensational activity had come. Prices Go Bounding Cp. Public Interest in the stock market was at a low ebb at the opening this morning. . The astonishment was gen eral, therefore, when transactions in very large blocks of stocks began immediately after opening, and prices kept changing quickly without appar ent reason. Brokers noted this ec centricity, particularly when Great Northern,- the old standard Investment stock, went jumping half points be tween sales. Sales of 5000 shares and upward of various stocks chosen for today's dis play were so frequent as to make a man dealing In 1000 shares look like a piker. In fact, a broker trying to execute an order for 1000 shares or less wu overlooked. Figures for the day relative to all stocks dealt In testified forcibly to a lack of public interest in the market and the Intensity of professional manipulation. The sales of the session embraced ninety-seven stock transactions. In eleven of these the stocks aggregated 1,064,000 shares, leaving but 72,400 shares to show for dealings in all others.

Steel, common IjO.OOO In other ordinarily active stocks there was small volume of trading compared with that in the 11 favorites, many striking examples being found In the totals of the day. While the manipulation was In prog ress In the chosen 11, the recording ma chinery of the exchange became clogged by the multiplicity of transactions, and the tape ran far behind the market. Customers of brokerage houses could only guess whether their orders could be executed at the tape' prices or at figures differing from it by a point or more. The magnitude of transactions on the floor and wide swings in sales increased this confusion. Just what today's demonstration was (Concluded on Page 2.) The Captain Forgot Ahout the Noose. Dr. Antonio La Gorio, of Chicago, Calmly Discusses Chances of Life. CHICAGO, Aug. 22. (Special.) Acci dentally inoculated with hydrophobia, Dr. Antonio La Gorio, founder of the Chicago branch of the Pasteur Insti tute, 238 Dearborn avenue, today Is fight ing the dread disease which he has treated so successfully in the case of others for 20 years. The eminent spe cialist, through a mishap in his labora tory, has the deadly germs In his sys tem. The frontal bone of a rabbit's skull, which he was dissecting for the benefit of a clinic, penetrated the skin under the nail of the finger of the left hand. The animal had been Infected with rabies and the physician realized In an instant that he must heal himself or face the tortures of death from hydrophobia. "It will require three weeks for the in oculation to make Itself evident," said Dr. La Gorio today. "I am not afraid of the ordeal, but the bravest of men must be thoughtful when the prospect of death confronts them. While I am hopeful of the result, because the remedy was applied with promptness, I cannot help looking forward with dread to the outcome. Pause to think of the feelings of an otherwise healthy man who Is obliged to wait for three weeks until he Is able to sign his own death warrrant, or allow himself his allotted time on earth."

Brosseau, Board of Trade Op erator and Chevalier of Legion of Honor, Cries Blackmail. His Wife Stands By Him. CHICAGO. Aug. 22. (Special.) Ma licious exertion of a baleful hypnotic in fluence and abuse of his knowledge ot the occult are charged against Z. P. Brosseau, millionaire Board of Trade op erator, man of letters. Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and a leader In the French colony of Chicago, In a $50,000 damage suit which Is being prepared by J. H. Migneron, a lawyer and compatriot of Brosseau. . ' Brosseau Is accused of having alienated the affections of the lawyer's wife, Marie Angele Denault Migneron, and with exer cising a compelling power over her. Mig neron also charges that the millionaire has' sought to ruin his reputation and business with the purpose of driving him away from Chicago. Blackmail, Says Brosseau. "It is a clear case of blackmail," de clared Mr. Brosseau. "The charges are outrageous. The man is not married. I have nothing further to say." Mr. Brosseau's statement that Migneron Is not married, and the lawyer's decla ration in the bill he is preparing that he was married to Marie Angele E. Denault in Quebec in 190.1, through the civil mar riage service of Canada, led to . an effort to find Migneron and his wife today. They have lived at 2216 Michigan avenue for some time. A reporter called at the resi dence and was confronted with a broken glass door and the sign "Furnished Room." Nobody answered the bell. Efforts to find Mlgnerdn at his office also proved futile, and It was given out that Mrs. Migneron had drarted for Can ada several days ago. Son Defends Father. C. L. Brosseau, son of the defendant in the action, was willing to discuss the matter more fully ' than his father. "The charges against my father abso lutely are untrue," he said. "It Is nothing but a case of blackmail. This case will be fought to a finish, and before it Is ended somebody will suffer." Mrs. Brosseau also declures that the charges against her husband are out rageous, and an attempt to compromise him and injure his position in French so ciety In Chicago.
