EAT DINNER AT HILL HOME JF.x-Senator Cordially Greets Demo cratic Candidate at Station and Crowd Cheers Bryan . Hurries to Buffalo. ALBANY, X. T.. Sept. 20. Important conference bearing on the political situa tion, both National and state, were held todav by William J. Bryan with Judge Alton B. Parker at Esopus and with ex-Vnited States. Senator David B. Hill at Wolferts Roost, near this city. These were preceded by a long consultation In the early morning between Mr. Bryan and National Chairman Mack In New York City. When the train arrived at Poughkeep Fie, Judge- Parker was at the-station to meet his distinguished guest, whom he entertained during the afternoon. The only member of the candidate s party to accompany him was ex-Governnr Jen Tings, of Florida a member of the Na tional committee, the rest of the party proceedlng-on to Albany. Greeted Cordially by Hill. Mr. Hill, who was at the station when Mr. Bryan arrived here tonight ' from l-tnpus. greeted his guest most cordially while the crowd cheered. Barry Murphy, Lieutenant-Oovernor Chanler s secretary, was on hand.. The drive to Mr. Hill's home was made fcv Mr. Bryan and his' host only. At Wolferts Roost awaiting them was Judge D. Cedv Herrlck, of this city, and the three men. while- at dinner, discussed the business which brought them together. Not a word by the participants In the several conferences was discussed re garding the subjects talked of or the conclusions. reached, but it nevertheless wu ascertained from one in a position to know that all three conferences had to do wlh the campaign in New York State. The fact that Immediately upon his arrival here Mr. Bryan notified the members of his party that he would leave for Buffalo at 3:15 o'clock in the morning. Instead of 7:30. as planned, would indicate that Important develop ments had taken place. Hill May Enter Campaign. Mr. Bryan's visit to Wolferfs Roost gave rise to a good deal of gossip as to the extent to which Senator Hill would participate In the campaign. Judge Parker already had announced that he would take the stump in behalf of his party, but no suggestion has come from Senator Hill that he also would enter upon a. speech-making tour, although he is taking a keen Interest in the cam paign, i All that Mr. Bryan would say con cerning the day's happenings was that he took a long automobile ride with Judge Parker, going as far as Kings ton, and that he had also dined with Senator Hill tonight.

CHOLERA RAGES IN RUSSIA CHOLERA SPREADS IX MAXILA Philippine Commission Will "Meet to Consider Problem. MANILA. Sept. II. Fifty-eight new cases of cholera and 19 deaths are re ported for the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock this (Monday) morning. The infected areas In the city and suburbs are spread ing somewhat, but the health authorities are still confident that they will be able speedily to gain control of the situation. Governor-General Smith has summoned a special meeting of the members of the Philippine Commission to discuss the plague situation and to lay plans for an extension" of the campaign now being waged against the disease. ' Federal troops are at present guarding the sources of the city's water supply to prevent the throwing of any infected matter into the water and It is probable the force thus engaged will be largely reinforced. The Army transport Sheridan, which has been held at the harbor quarantine station at Marlveies for several days ow ing to the discovery of two cases of cholera aboard, has been completely fumigated and given a clean blll-of-health. The Sheridan will sail today for Nagasaki, Japan, on her way to San Francisco. AEROPLANE NOT AT FAULT SIGXAL CORPS EXPERT EX PLAINS FATAL ACCIDENT. (Continued FromFlrt Pare.) which the cholera has not invaded, and the possibility of infection from this source Is very great- City Most Vnsanitary.' As a city i-'t. Petersburg is woefully unsanitary, and the dread disease finds here the conditions most suitable for its propagation. It first made Its appearance among the poor people herded in wretched tenements, but it Is now spreading to the better classes and It has broken out in the barracks among the troops. History of Epidemic. The eholern. was first reported this year about the end of July. It was of a virulent type and the percentage of mortality was high. The disease spread rapidly Into the provinces along the Volga, down boh coasts "of the Caspian and In the territory of the Don Cossacks: in other words, in the eastern 'and southeastern districts of European Russia. By the end of Au gust there was an average of 1200 cases reported each week, with a mor tality of more than 60 per cent. On September 10 there were BO cases In St. Petersbugr. and the dis ease was prevalent In all quarters of the city. The record of cases and deaths from th.it date until the present showed alarming Increases, and It is the general belief here that the health authorities, in the desire to prevent the people from becoming panic stricken, are holding their official re ports down to a minimum. Entire Nation Alarmed. Advices from all parts of Russia show that the alarm is very general and that there Is good reason for it. At Moscow a quarantine has been es tablished at all railway stations, and passengers are placed under the strictest surveillance. I'p to the present Moscow has been Immune. A death has occurred at Helslngfors from the disease, and the Russian steamers have been denied entrance to Vlborg harbor for evading quarantine at Trangsund, a roadstead eight miles from that port. Twenty-nine cases and elx deaths were reported from Odessa on Saturday. German authorities have taken precau tions to prevent the disease from cross ing the frontier. Austria has done the same thing: Sweden and nearby coun tries have declared a quarantine against Russia and France is ready to meet any exigencies that may arise. Cholera made Its appearance In Rus sia last year, but It was confined to the southern and southeastern provinces Caused by Breaking of Overstrained Guy Wire Which Fouled Propeller Blades. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. At the offi cial investigation of the aeroplane acci dent made at Fort Myer by the signal corps, what is believed to be the correct theory as to the cause of the accident was brought out. Lieutenant Swee, of the Navy, who assisted the board at the Inquiry. In speaking of the accident gave the following version: "Throughout the numerous iong flights made by Mr. Wright at Fort Myer there developed an exceptional strain on one of the brackets of the upper strut of the- rudder, to which a guy wire was attached. It Is quite possible the con tinued strain and vibration wore out the bracket. "When the bracket broke the guy wire dropped and became entangled in the left propeller, breaking one of the blades. The breaking of the wire caused the rudder or tail piece to collapse, and this, it is believed, struck against the left pro peller. Further control of the aeroplane was impossible. "The accident does not reflect any dis credit on the Wright brothers' flying ma chine, and is one that would probably not happen again In a great many years." KAISER EXTENDS SYMPATHY Regards Selfrldge as Martyr to . Cause of Country.' BERLIN. Sept. 20. When the news of the accident to Orvllle Wright and Uea tenant Thomas H. Selfridge at Fort Meyer on Thursday was communicated to the Emperor he expressed deep regret at the death of Lieutenant Selfrldge, whom he described as "an officer engaged In the perfection of a military weapon for his fatherland."- The Emperor said that he could well understand the grief of the tireless in ventor, Wright, at the destruction of his aeroplane, and His Majesty said that he could not help reeling that mishaps in aerial navigation would unfortunately .continue for some time to come, and that Inventors had not even got so far as to navigate the air regardless of sudden changes of the 'wind. His sympathy went out to inventors, who. he said, perhaps obtained no fresh experience from their falls, but only dis 'covered that success did not lie in a cer tain way and that the suitability of their plans mist again be put to the test at the risk of their lives. SCIENTISTS ABOVE CLOCDS Americans Ascend 3500 Feet In Balloon at London.' LONDON. Sept. Professors A. Law rence Recht and Perclval Lowell, of Bos ton, and Captain 8. A. Cloman, the Amer ican military attache at London, made a balloon ascension-today with Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls, Captain of the London sec tion of the army motor-car reserve. They succeeded in taking a number of scientific observations above the clouds, as well as a number of photographs. The balloon reached an altitude of 5500 feet. Wright Still Improving. WASHINGTON. Sept. ' 20 Orville Wright, who was seriously injured Thurs day In the aeroplane accident, which caused the death of Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfrldge. continues to improve. ROOSEVELT FOR TAFT (Continued From First Pane.) party, alike In Its executive and legislative branches, to continue and develop the poli cies which have been not merely professed but acted upon during these seven years. These policies can be successfully carrlsd. through enly bv the hearty co-operation of the President and the Congress In both It branches, and It Is therefore peculiarly Im portant that there should obtain such .har mony between them. To fail to sleet Mr. Taft would be a calamity to the country, and It would be folly, while electing him. vet St the same time to elect a Congress hostile to him. a Congress which under the Influence of partisan leadership would be certain to thwart and baffle him on every possible oocaslon. To elect Mr. Taft and at the same time to elect a Congress pledged to support him Is the only way in which to perpetuate the policy of the Government as now carried on. I feel that all the support that can be given to this policy by every good cltlsen should be given. It Is far more than a partisan matter. Calls on All to Help. Both your committee and the National committee, of which Mr. Hitchcock is chair man are endeavoring to secure the active co-operation on the stump of Senators and Congressmen, party leaders and Independ ent cltlsens generally. I most heartily Join In urging the Importance of such co-operation. I hope that every disinterested pri vate cttiien. whose sole concern In politics Is to have the right kind of a man carry out the right kind of policies, will Join In backing up your committee as well as the National committee in this movement. No service is as effective, as -aluable as the disinterested service given In such manner by men whose one concern is for the tri umph of the principles in which they be lieve and t appeal with all the strength there Is In me to such men to give support. $10 REWARD Offered for Information which ylll place the undersfcmed in touch with his son.
