PITTSBURG, Oct. 20 A man giv
ing bis name as Richard Cullen at
tempted to attack Woodrow Wilson
as the President, with William Jen
nings Bryan, rode through the city.
Cullen, carrying a black satchel, ran
alongside the automobile and re
peatedly attempted to jump aboard.
The attack occurred In the heart of
the city, near Fifth avenue and
Sniithlleld street. The crowd was
very dense and the automobiles were
forced to move slowly. A secret ser
vice agent seized Cullen and threw
him off. He Immediately tried
again. The secret service agent then
hurled the assailant from the run
ning board, and Cullen fled. He ran
a half block before he was over
taken and overpowered. The police
found a long dagger and several
chisels in .the satchel. Cullen said
he was dissatisfied with President
Wilson's handling of the European
affairs, but he refusesd to admit that I
he Intended to attack the President.
After examining the prisoner, the
police said he was insane, and he
was held for investigation. Cullen
at first spoke quietly, but he later
became enraged and roundly de
nounced the President's policies. The
satchel was not located. It fell open
while Cullen was fleeing, revealing
the weapons.
Wilson Jennings Bryan met Wil
son at the train. They shook hands
for the ilrst time in months. The
crowd demonstrated continuously
during their ride through the streets
and parksv
The President and Mrs. Wilson,
together with Democratic State
Chuirmun ISuffrey and two secret
service men, rode in the Wilson car.
Mr. Wilson remained calm during
the struggle, and Mrs. Wilson shared
his confidence. The crowd seemed
slow to grasp the situation.
A loaded revolver fell to the
ground during the scuffle. The po
lice are not certain whether Cullen
dropped It. Special Agent Defiore
pummeled Cullen beside the Presi
dent's auto. Fifty policemen clubbed
the crowd back. Cullen bled at the
mouth and nose. He struck Defiore
with a heavy satchel.

4- they had a delightful chat dur
j Ing the brief delay of the'i'or
4 nier here late, Wednesday.
Although he declaimed any knowl
edge that liquor had been left in the
rear of his store, S. K. Sykes this
afternoon went before City Recorder
R. L. Whipple, entered a plea of
guilty on a charge of conducting a
nuisance and was fined In the, sum
of ?50.
In explaining the incidents lead
ing up to his arrest, Mr. Sykes said
a woman by the name of Mrs.
Tracey recently received a shipment
of beer from San Francisco. On the
same day the liquor arrived in
Roseburg she came into the store
conducted by Mr. Sykes and pur
chased a wash tub, boiler and other
household effects. She then went to
the express office, signed the affi
davit for her beer and ordered the
same taken to Mr. Sykes' establish
ment. It was her intention, so she
said, to have the beer and articles
purchased from Mr. Sykes delivered
to her dwelling by a drayman. Be
fore the drayman could respond to
the call, however, the officers arrived
on tho scene and the beer was con
llscated. Both the woman and Mr.
Sykes were later arrested. Mr.
Sykes, is emphatic in his assertion
that he had no knowledge that the
beer was in his store until-after it
had been taken by the officers.

Roy Howard, aged 25, believed by
the officers to be the man who aban
doned a stolen Portlnnd automobile
in front of the city hall here last
Sunday night, and who was arrested
yesterday morning at Hornbrook,
Cal., 'while driving a car stolen from
Glendale the previous night, was
brought to this city this afternoon
and lodged in the county jail. How
ard was brought here In the custody
of Deputy Sheriff A. J, Brown, of
Glendale, who said the man had
waived a hearing following his re
turn tind would probably plead
guilty to the Glendale theft on be
ing arraigned before the grand jury.
The man who left the car here es
caped arrest but a few hours in ad
vance of the knowledge of the theft.
He hud evidently left town Monduy
morning and on the following night
tho other car was taken from the
garage of Frank Hobbs, the Cow
Creek mail carrier, at Glendale. The
officers here have little doubt but
that the perpetrator of the two
crimes Is the same man and the own
er of the Portland automobile will
probably be notified. The latter,
Arthur W. Kills, returned with the
machine last last Tuesday. Accord
ing to Mr. Brown, Howard has been
in trouble before and on this sus
picion he will be photographed by
the local officers in the next few
days. Both cars stolen were Fords,
and the actions of the man in flight
were similar in both cases.
