'Appeals From Alt Sides for Peace
With Tfatlonal Committeeman
' Have No Effect on leader's
Expressed Intention.
XiU. ....:
KTTvV TORE. Sept. 1 (Special.) Bryan
la off for tha West with his Nebraska
bodyguard. He left New York at 5 o'clock
this afternoon, and tomorrow night will
hold forth In Detroit. Leaving Detroit
lata Monday night, he will reach Chicago
arly Tuesday morning, there to encoun
ter the contending Illinois factions of the
Democratic party on their native heath.
He Is prepared for the meeting.
Right, left, front and rear, Bryan has
teen bombarded this Sabbath day with
appeals to make peace with National
Committeeman Roger Sullivan and his
following. Members of the Democratic
National committee from many states
have been Impressed to "carry a message
to Garcia" that would bring about at
least a truce in the warfare against Sul
livan declared by Bryan before he sailed
from Europe.
Politicians Make Little Impression.
Little satisfaction has been obtained by
the emissaries seeking to convince Bryan
that he would make a great mistake If
he does not do something to remove the
feeling that he intends to mix In local
squabbles throughout the country, the
politicians have failed to make their
point.
While National Committeeman Sullivan
himself and a large following of his per
sonal aids have been In New York for
several days, outwardly professing Indif
ference as to Bryan and anything he may
do or say. It may be set down as a fact
that they are very much concerned over
the future attitude to be assumed by the
peerless leader with reference to them.
They are now thinking of the stats con
vention two years hence.
Sullivan Mnst Be Disciplined.
To some of his callers, Bryan has ex
pressed himself forcibly regarding his po
sition as to the future, but has enjoined
secrecy upon them as to his plans, warn
ings and demands. He realizes that what
ever he says will be conveyed to Sullivan
and other members of the National Cora,
anittee. One thing that may be stated,
however. Is that Bryan Insists that the
next state, convention must take cogni
.zance of the matter again and repudiate
'Sullivan If the party In Illinois expects
to get any reconciliation In case he be
the candidate for the Presidency In 1P08.
"It is being caid today that you have
declared your Madison-Square Garden
speech as to Government ownership of
railroads has been misinterpreted," was
said to Bryan. "That you did not Intend
to commit the Democratic party to Gov
ernment ownership as an Issue In the next
convention; also, that you have said to
eome persons that, the support driven
away by your announced position was
support the Democratic party could well
afford to get along without and that you
did not want."
Speeches Go as Delivered.
"I have never said anything that was
Intended to alienate anyone's support."
said Mr. Bryan, "and I never have said
anything that was intended to conciliate
the opposition of anyone to my Ideas."
"I intend to enter into the present Con
gressional campaign." said Bryan, in re
ply to another question. I do not care to
say now what I will put forward as the
dominant Issue in the campaign. Let me
go ahead and make my speeches. They
will speak for themselves."
That Mr. Bryan has seen a great light
since he delivered himself of utterances
on Government ownership of railroads,
against advice from many quarters, and
now wishes to back water to some extent
Is the declaration of politicians who met
him today. Although he took pains yes
terday, at the Democratic Club, to em
phasize his contention that he would
rather be right than be President, and
inferentially stated that he believed his
ideas whicn some disagreed with ultimate
ly would prevail, it was pointed out that
In his speeches in New Jersey he left the
ownership Issue severely alone.
Agents Preparing for Campaign.
There are a dozen different ways of
drawing deductions as to Bryan's future,
at a result of his home-coming speech,
and the course of Democratic politics as
Influenced by him., There la the fact on
the other hand that agents are accom
panying Bryan West for the purpose of
organizing for the campaign of 1908, and
their Idea has been that they were to
make Government ownership a prime
issue.
On the other band, some Southern lead
ers who talked with Bryan this morning,
were led to believe at least, they so ex
pressed themsclves-rthat he does not in
tend to force the Government ownership
idea down the throat of his party, but
wishes It to be understood that If things
do not go just so and so, Federal and
state operation, as well as regulation,
must come in to correct existing abuses.
In response to questions put to him to
day from several quarters, Bryan refused
to say whether he intended to let up on
his ownership scheme henceforth, for the
time being, at least, and this gave color
to the belief that he regretted a mistake
and was now desirous of "sidestepping."
One of Bryan's callers was Editor Rufus
Rhodes, of the Birmingham News, an In
fluential Democrat of Alabama and the
South." Mr. Rhodes came away feeling
that things were not as bad as he had
feared, and he lost no time in spreading
the discovery.
GRATIFIED WITH RECEPTION
Bryan Notes a Marked Change in
Public Sentiment on Economy.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2. Escorted by the
Nebraskan "home folks," more than 100
strong, "W. J. Bryan started on the home
stretch of his progress around the world
In a special train of five cars, which left
Jersey City at 5:30 this afternoon. There
was no demonstration at the station, but
passengers In the waiting-room introduced
themselves to -Bryan and shook hands
with him. The special is expected to
reach Detroit tomorrow morning, and, af
ter a day and night reception, will start
at midnight for Chicago, where another
reception will be held Tuesday. The train
is scheduled to reach Lincoln, Neb., on
Wednesday, when a rousing reception is
promised by Mayor Brown, who headed
the delegation of Nebraskans.
On the way over the river irf the ferry
boat Bryan smilingly said in an Inter
view: "Speaking front a personal standpoint,
the receptions accorded to me were very
gratifying. Speaking from a political
standpoint, I think that they showed a
marked change in public sentiment along
the lines of economic questions, and es
pecially those questions relating to the
trust issue. The only unpleasant feature
about the receptions is that I have been
so busy speaking and going from place
to place that I have not had time to shake
hands with all those who had come great
distances.
"The reception which my neighbors at
home are preparing will be a great satis
faction, but it can hardly be more cor
dial than have been my receptions In the
East."
Referring to the reported disagreement
with prominent Democrats with his ad
vocacy of the Federal ownership of rail
roads, Mr. Bryan said:
"I have seen it stated that prominent
men have protested against the doctrine,
but until the prominent men give their
names the objections cannot have any in
fluence. I have not talked with any one
who had a protest to make, but I have,
discussed the matter both before and
after my speech, with men who have
agreed with me. I have talked the matter
over for two years or more."
Bryan said that he was to speak in St.
Louis September 11, Louisville September
12. Cincinnati September IS, Bradford, Va.,
September 15. He also is to make two
speeches in North Carolina, two in Ala
bama and Tennessee, but the dates have
not as yet been set. He will give his time
and voice to the Congressional" campaign
in October.
Bryan spent a comparatively quiet Sun
day, mostly at the Victoria Hotel, where
he received a number- of visitors, who
called for a short chat and a good-bye
handshake. Early in the afternoon. Bor
ough President Bird S. Coler arrived in
an automobile and took Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan over to his home in Brooklyn for
luncheon. Among those who called on
Mr. Bryan during the day were ex-Governor
Benton McMillan, of Tennessee;
Congressman Ollle James, of Kentucky;
John W. Tomlinson. of Alabama: Rufus
S. Rhoades, of Alabama; E. A. Hood, of
Chattanooga: Urey Woodson, National
committeeman from Kentucky: Congress
man William Sulzer and Mr. and Mrs.
Norman E. Mack.
Reception Planned at Detroit.
DETROIT, Sept. 2. Plans for the
reception and entertainment of Will
iam J. Bryan upon his visit to Detroit
were definitely completed today. Bryan
and the party of Nebraskans accom
panying him are scheduled to arrive
here at noon, they will be escorted to
the Hotel Wallace, where the Mayor
will extend a formal welcome.
' After luncheon the party will be
taken to the state fair grounds, where
Bryan will make a short address. At
8 o'clock Bryan will address a mass
meeting at the Light Guard Armory,
and an informal reception will follow.
. Oppose With One Voice.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. (Special.) No
Democrat In public life who has come to
Washington since Bryan delivered his no
table speech in New York is willing to
espouse the cause of Government owner
ship of railroads, as proposed by the Ne
braskan. Senators and Representatives
who have arrived since Friday without
exception do not Indorse Bryan's plan.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, In
an interview, places himself in opposition
to Government ownership. Just as did Sen
ator Bailey, of Texas, and others. Gov
ernor Glenn, of North Carolina, who ac
companied Senator Simmons, also went
on record against it.

POLITE BOBBER -HOLDS
UP STAGE
Yosemite Park Visitors Take
His Portrait While Being
Relieved of Money.
VICTIM OFFERS HIS CARD
Masked Bandit Is Somewhat Aston
ished at Uie Unusual Act and
Refuses to Shake Hands
With San Franciscan.
WAWONA, CaL, Sept. 2. At 1:30 P. M.
today, three miles from Ahwahnee, the
Yosemite stage was held up. It was driven
by Bright Gillespie, who took President
Roosevelt and his party through the park
on their visit here three years ago. The
robber appeared at a bend In thr road and
told the driver to come on up. The driver
drove until he was within a few feet of
the -robber, then stopped.
The robber ordered the passengers out.
The driver was told to go on some 50 feet
more. The bandit then lined the passen
gers up In the road. , Wertemer Bishop,
of New York, was the first searched. The
robber saw to it that no small change was
left In his pocket. Mr. Bishop lost 17.50.
Mr. Bishop snapped the robber's picture.
He says the robber's voice was very low
and calm. He worked carelessly and
every chance was given the driver to
shoot him had he a gun.
. Take the Robber's Picture.'
A. F. Ormsbee, a friend of Bishop, from
Brooklyn, N. Y., lost $13. He took two
snapshots of the robber. Two of the pas
sengers were women. They took the hold
up as though It was a part of the trip.
One of them, Miss Maud Smythe, of Mer
ced, who was on her way to Wawona,
was very much surprised to see the rob
ber. She showed presence of mind and
coolness and asked the robber if he want
ed her valuable purse. He said: . "Wait
until I come to you." She was relieved
of J7.
R. A. Tuttle. of San Francisco, with
his wife, was relieved of $15. Bishop was
ordered to keep his hat off and to put his
money and Jewelry in it. He showed his
watch, which was a nickel-cased one, to
the robber, and wasr told he could keep' it.
Ormsbee, next in line to Bishop, had a
nickel watch also.
Robber Looks for Cash.
The robber did not trouble any of the
others for jewelry after this.. He said
he wanted to make the most '.of his time
and wanted cash only. He asked Tuttle
to tie the . cash, which amounted to $42,
Into a handkerchief and throw it to him.
Tuttle wanted his picture, and asked to
be allowed to take it along with the
group of passengers. He left . his card
on the ground for. the highwayman, and
when he saw the name he seemed a little
surprised. He took a step backward, and
when Tuttle offered to shake hands the
robber refused.
The robber wore a white felt hat, bur
lap coat that reached to his knees, short
sleeves; ' his trousers were a checked
brown and on his feet he had blaclt cloth
tied. He had hobnails in his shoes, which
made tracks in the dust through the
black cloth. He seemed to be a man
between 45 and 50. His voice was a low,
calm one and rather deliberate. The gun
he had was a Winchester, which he had
suspended by a stout string.
Armed Soldier Sits Quietly.
A soldier passenger was not disturbed
any more than asked to get out of the
stage. He had a loaded .38 rifle, and as
the bandit was rather careless in the
manner of facing the passengers, the
soldier took aim, but was prevented from
shooting by his fellow passengers, who
feared his aim might not be true and
that the robber might have accomplices.
After the passengers had gotten back
in the stage the driver asked the robber
not to fire until he had gotten out of the
way. This wish was complied with. The
Wells-Fargo treasure box was taken out,
rifled and the contents burned. It is not
known how . much this box contained.
The United States mail was taken out
in search for another treasure box, but
not disturbed further.
The man, is without a doubt the same
one who held up the stage last year in
August and this year in July. The
Sheriff and posse are out after him, and
the stage company has offered a reward
of $250 for his capture and conviction.

Money Will Be Used to Build
Road to Connect With
the C. & E.
OPENS A NEW TERRITORY
Line Running East From Yaqulna
Bay to Be Extended to Snake
River New York Finan
ciers Are Interested.
NEW TORK, Sept. 2. (Special.) The
projected road through Central Oregon,
to connect with the Corvallts & Eastern,
owned by A. B. Hammond, is placing Its
bonds on this market, and It Is probable
that they will be listed on the Stock Ex
change In the near future. The Corvallis
& Eastern is 130 miles long, from Yaqulna
Bay, on the Coast, to Idanha. in the
Cascade Range, and the extension to
Snake River, at Ontario, or a point near
that place, will add some 300 miles to the
road. .
The name by which the extension is
commonly known here Is the Central Rail
way of Oregon., It is understood that the
new project will use the rights of way
through the state acquired by the Oregon
Central & Eastern, which was . building
over the same route IS years ago, and
whose project collapsed, and was after
ward bought, rocd and all, for $100,000
by A. B. Hammond, who changed the
name to Corvallis & Eastern.
The projected road will pass through
a part of Oregon which now hag no rati
facilities, connecting with the O. R. &
N. and Union Pacillc system on Snake
River and with the Southern Pacific In
the Willamette Valley at Albany. The
road Is to be bonded at $20,000 a mile,
which, considering the nature of the coun
try, is considered moderate.
Hitherto, New York has not heard much
of this project, but it has been consider
ably impressed since the bonds have been
in the market here. The line of the road,
it it should follow the old Central & East
em right of way, will traverse a pro
ductive region.
It is thought that arrangements will be
completed within the next 30 days for
financing the project.
The foregoing dispatch is In line with
Mr. Hammond's announced Intention, re
cently expressed by him to The Oregonlan,
of extending his Corvallis & Eastern
through Eastern Oregon to Snake River.
Mr.- Hammond, when in Portland several
weeks ago, said that he planned to build
next year, when he expected to have
financial arrangements complete, and to
secure an adequate supply of labor.

BOYCOTT ON THE SUN
Husky Men Sell Goldfield Paper, but
Trouble Is Expected Today.
GOLDFIELD, Nev., Sept. 2. It Is prob
able that tomorrow's fight carnival will
not end with the Nelson-Gans contest, but
there will be another kind between the
Goldfield Sun and Industrial Workers of
the World. This organization, which is
composed of cooks and waiters, saloon
employes and kindred workers, has de
clared a boycott on the local dally paper,
the Sun, and has notified the staff of the
paper to Join their union or leave town. .
The Sun Is owned by Lindley C. Bran
son, who also owns the Tonopah Sun.
In this latter paper Branson, In an arti
cle headed "Come On, You Cowardly
Curs," defies the union" and offers Its
members any kind of a fight they want.
Yesterday the Sun was sold on the
streets of Goldfield by husky men con
nected with the paper, but beyond some
rather plain-spoken comments on the
present boycotters there was no demon
stration. Tomorrow, however, will be a
CENTRA
RUT
MARKETS
BONDS
holiday, and there will be a big crowd
in town.
Threats have been made that If tha
Sun Is published tomorrow every man
connected with It will be run out of town.
The Sun people eay they will publish and
that they will put up a fight if any attack
is made on them. The boycott on the
Goldfield Sun was declared, not because
of any offense committed by the Goldfield
paper, but because the Tonopah Sun crit
icised the course of the Industrial Work
ers of the World.
Efforts have been made to purchase
the Goldfield paper from Branson, and
he is reported as being willing to sell.
The union will not. remove the boycott,
even if the paper changes hands, as they
do not want Branson to benefit by the
purchase money. It is stated that the
Miners' Union and other industrial unions
here are not In sympathy with the doings
of the Industrial Workers of the tV'orld.
Tonight Frank Horton, a printer and
a member of the Typographical Union,
was kidnaped by friends of the Industrial
Workers of the World and escorted out
of town. Horton's brother is a promi
nent banker here, and no time was lost
in getting the Sheriff and a force of
deputies after the men. They were over
hauled and Horton was brought back to
town.
The pickets of the union have been
taking snapshots of every person visiting
the Sun office, and the photographs have
been posted on a bulletin board in front
of the union headquarters. Men bearing
placards are warning people who patron
ize the Sun that they will be boycotted.
The mineowners and merchants of the
camp are not in sympathy with the In
dustrial Workers of the World, but they
have taken no action.
Tonight the Western Union Telegraph
was notified by a walking delegate of
the union that no more telegraph mes
sages should be delivered to the Sun.
The office of the paper is under guard
day and night.

mittee, tendering his resignation as a
member of the committee. He read it
carefully and in reply to a request for
his opinion, asked a question:
"What do you. think Is the meaning
of that letter?"
"Is It not possible to construe
Walsh's meaning to be if Bryan be
comes the nominee under the Demo
cratic standard he will be 'slavishly
subserving: th individual to corrupt
corporations and boss control?'"
"Well," replied Judge Parker, "you
might put such construction on what
Is- said in the letter if you wished to
do so, but I hardly feel that I want to
dignify Mr. Walsh's letter by con
struing it. or making a formal state
ment. Really, at this time It hardly
seems worth while."
"What about the statements he
makes about Mr. Sheehan?"
"Mr. Sheehan," replied the Judge, "is
my partner and my friend, and I know
that If he thinks the letter Is worthy
of comment or answer he is quite ca
pable of speaking for himself. Not
that I would not do so for him if neces
sary, but I think this Is a case for
Mr. Sheehan If he desires to take notice
of it."
"It looks very much as If the Hearst
Independence League has won another
recruit in the person of Walsh." con
tinued Judge Parker. He has been an
enthusiastic supporter of Hearst for a
number of years and will make a valu
able audition to Hearst's party."
Taggart Would See Letter First.

mas Taggart, chairman of the Demo
cratic National committee, said to
night . he had not received as yet a
letter from Charles Walsh, resigning
as the member of tiie National commit
tee from Iowa and prior to its receipt

shotgun. Logan returned the fire and
the two men emptied their weapons at
each other. Logan received one buckshot
in the foot and one Italian was perhaps)
fatally wounded. Logan, believing that

telephoned to the barracks at this place,
and a detachment of five privates was
detailed to go to his assistance.

The gang immediately closed the doofl
and the house was riddled with bullets.

uselessly and the storm and darkness)
coming on, the troopers sent for carbines
and prepared to keep the house surround
ed until morning. The wildest excitement
prevails In Punxsutawney and near-by
towns. Fifteen troopers and several po
licemen, together with many citizens,
heavily armed, are on guard.

lawful means. The police have arranged
powerful searchlights so that the entire; j
