"They are talk ing prosperity and the papers tell us that they are going to have a great big parade In New York City next Saturday night They are going to have red fire. They are going to have illuminations. They are going to have hands, and when I wan in New York. I saw them build ing grandstands along the route for peo ple who will watch the parade. Why don't they take the money and furnish lodgings at night for the hundreds of men whom I saw sleeping on the benches In the park? I had occasion to ride down Broadway two nights, ono time at 3 o'clock and another time at 4 o'clock In the morning, and there were not leas tlian 300 men sleeping In one park on benches ami they were protecting them selves from the cold by tying news papers around their limbs. "While these men have not the money with which to buy lodKlngs. the Republican party . Is spending money for red Are !n order to prove that It is the party of prosperity." This Is the way "William J. Hryan con cluded his speeoi at this place today. The meeting wa held at the opera-house and Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Rer. Mr. Peabody. of the First Baptist Church. Mr. Bryan's theme wan "Justice." and he said that the Democratic party presented a larger hope of Justice li government than did the Republicans. The crowd filled the hall to overflowing. After his speech. Mr. Brynn was com pelled to make a short overflow address outside. BOASTS OF MORAL, STANDARD Bryan Says He Will Crusade- for-J Honest Politics. COHOE9. X. T.. Oct. 29. Refreshed after a good night's rest. William J. Bryan opened the last day of his cam paign lu New York State here early this morning. He spoke In the opera house to a crowd which filled every Sft, the aisles and lobbies, and was greeted with applause throughout. Af ter urging his hearers to vote for the Democratic Congressional nominee In this district and for the Democratic state candidates. Mr. Bryan predicted his election to the Presidency. Mr. Bryan said that before the Den ver oonrenUon the Republicans were very slient. "They said If the Demo crat wrwiM only nominate me they wonid have a walkover. Well, at this time we aee able to forecast the result, and what as. the! condition T . Our cause Is ao appeaMng to the consciences of the American people that we are draw ing to our support more of those who lare lifting up the moral standard and Sao are trying- to touch the conscience tbe Motion. Republican leaders no aser laad tbe people In the right dl- taorflmr these leodmrs have betrayed the gtSMU ajewn rn their own party and Uatrapasanora th wishes of tbe rank 4 file Of Mi. BepaDtlcana. ' Taking bo th. qaesricn of puMlclty oaDsaiaa -saner tbuloB,- Mr Bryan Gxd;ife-;&eafc it tawr; wex wUl-a lng to indorse a plan that contemplates the purchase of elections. "I warn yo now." he said, "that 'the crusade we have commenced for honest politics will go on. We have a law that will compel the Republican leaders to open their books and let the people know what Is going -on." Mr. Bryan charged that the United States Senate was the bulwark of preda tory wealth, and that corporations had controlled the actions of Senators who were chosen to represent the people-. Speaking of the trusts, he asserted that Mr. Taft had not attacked a single trust, because, he said, every trust magnate was supporting him. "and out of the funds the Republicans are preparing to buy every vote that can be bought." Mr. Bnan vehemently declared that the Republican party was going backward in stead of forward with respect to labor. He characterised the promise of a revi sion of the tariff as an attempt to perpe trate a fraud upon the people. His au dience appeared to be practically unani mous for -(lie law to guarantee bank de posits, as indicated by the number of ha ads raised when he put the matter to a vote. STRAW VOTE OX PliATFORM Bryan Asserts Sherman's Home Town Is Against Him. UTICA. N. Y., Oct. 59. Paying a visit to I'tlca. the home of James S. Sherman, Republican VIce-Prealdential nominee, W. J. Bryan was accorded a great dem onstration. "It was one of the best meetings of the campaign." said he. upon returning to his car. The opera-house wae inadequate to accommodate the crowd and he made an overflow speech outside. Mr. Bryan discussed the Issues of the campaign generally and put to a -ote several of the questions embraced In the Democratic platform. These Included publicity before election of campaign contributions, election of Senators by di rect vote and a labor representative In the Cabinet. No hand was raised when he asked If there was any one present who believed the proposition laid down In the Republican platform was right. "I will ask." said he. "the newspaper men traveling with me to send out to the country the fact that the home of Can didate Sherman does not indorse the ac tion of the Republican National convention." MACK GROWS srsnciocs Looks Vpon Taft-Clianler Move as Republican Frame-up. NEW YORK. Oct. 29. National Chairman Mack declared his belief to day that an Investigation would show that the "Taft and Chanler Business Men's League." which Is seeking to secure the election of Taft for Presi dent and Chanler for Governor of the state, was being financed by the Re publican National Committee. The league, said Mr. Mack. Is circu lating sample ballots, showing how to split the ticket, and Is extensively ad vertising In the local press advising the election of Mr. Taft and Mr. Chan ler. None of the regular Democratic organizations, asserted Mr. Mack, was behind this movement, whose promot ers have carefully concealed their Iden tity. The National chairman declares that the appearance of ex-Governor Hill witli Mr. Bryan at the meeting In Albany last night would undoubtedly bring many of the old-line Democrats Into the ranks again.

MORE MONEY FOR SILENCE New Sensation In Ruef Bribery Trial When Blake Appears for Sen tencedHysteric Wife Pro v tests Against Confession. SAX FRANCISCO, Oct. 29. Another sensational chapter In the San Francisco bribery-graft oases growing out of the wholesale bribery of the Schmtts Board of Supervisors by Abraham Ruef, the former political boss, and the resultant grand Jury Indictments and prosecution, was adefed today, when E. A. S. Blake, a contractor, confessed In open court that at the instigation of A. S. Newburgh and Frank J. Murphy, two of Ruefs attor neys, he had attempted to bribe John M. Kelly with an offer of JIOOO to get on the Jury now secured to try Ruef and vot for the acquittal of Ruef. $10,000 to Keep Quiet. Blake also said that after his arrest and conviction Murphy came to him and Agreed) to put J10.000 in the hands of a third person, to be paid to Blake Im mediately after he was sentenced, and that his wife was to receive J100 a month during the time that he was serving his sentence m the penitentiary, if Blako would "keep quiet" and not implicate Murphy and Newburgh. The JIO.OO) in promissory notes was signed by Ruef and Indorsed by his father and sister and made payable to Murphy, the prisoner declared, and was now in the hands of a third person who had Van named by him to receive it and hold it subject to his order. Wake had been convicted of an attempt to bribe John M. Kelly, a venireman drawn on the panel of the Ruef jury. snd was about to bo sentenced by Judge Frank H. Dunne, when he said he had a statement to make. The disclosures made by Blake came as a surprise to his coun sel, but were not entirely unexpected to the crowded courtroom, as it had been rumored for some time that he would "come through" and be a witness for the prosecution against Newburgh and Murphy, both of whom were Indicted on the charge of which Blake was con victed. Blake's wife arose In the courtroom and protested hysterically with "No. no," when Judge Dunne called upon her husband to "stand up." that Judgme.t might be passed upon him. She was led out by a Deputy Sheriff. His face pale, but composed and with a demeanor that Indicated that he had prepared himself for the ordeal. Blake, In a calm, subdued voice, told of his par ticipation In the attempt to bribe Kelly, prefacing it with the statement that he had been promised no reward or Im munity and that his confession was made freely and voluntarily. At the earnest request of District At torney Iangdon, Judge Dunne, after broadly - intimating that Blake's confes sion would not Influence the court in passing severe sentence upon the con tractor for a crime which he charac terized as "one of the most serious under the' law," postponed sentence for two weeks. Twelfth Juror for Ruef. In the courtroom of Judge Iawlor, Just across the corridor, where the attorneys for hoth sides are now In the third month of the work of securing a jury to try Ruef and had Just passed the 12th man, the news of Blake's confession caused consternation to the defense. Ruef paled visibly, but otherwise showed no emotion, and immediately engaged in whispered conversation with his attor neys, Henry Ach and Thomas B. Dozler. A block away, Frank J. Murphy and A. 8. Newburgh were restlessly pacing the corridor In front of Judge Murasky's courtroom, waiting to hear "what had happened In the Blake case." while their attorneys were arguing a motion to set aside the indictments against them, which was denied. After being sworn. Blake told the court that he had been promised no reward or Immunity, and that his confession was entirely free and voluntary. "With that understood and I want y.ou to understand that thoroughly" sold Judge Dunne, "you may make your statement." "Did yon commit the crime with which you were charged and of which you ware convicted T' asked Mr. Dangdon, who ap peared personally.

T. R. Hunt being finally passed by both sides, assistant DlBtrict Attorney Heney sprang a sur prise on the court by asking that the balance of the Jury be excused and George H. Cross.aone of the first Jurors passed, be put tn the stand for fur ther examination, the prosecutor pur posing to show that Cross had per jured himself in his examination. Dur ing the examination which followed, lasting until midnight tonight the attor neys fought one another bitterly, but the court Anally sustained the prosecu tion, dismissing Cross for cause and again reducing the Jury to 11. When tho other Jurors had left the courtroom Mr. Heney asked the court for permission to re-open the examina tion of Cross on the ground that he had testified falsely when qualifying. He read from the record of the examination of Cross where the Juror had denied that he ever had applied for a liquor license and secured it through Ruef. Mr. Heney said that the prosecution would show not only that Cross had applied In February, 1S06. to the Police Commission for a license, which was held up for some time, be cause as Dr. Pohetm, the president, had stated, "he had not yet received his in structions." but that it was finally obtained bv the Juror through Ruef. Charles F. fikelly, secretary to the Police Commissioners, was put on the stand and produced the records showing the application made by Cross through his attorney, W. H. Davis. Davis was then called, but denied that he had seen or talked to Ruef about the license. Mr. Heney said he considered Davis, although called by the prosecution, an "adverse witness." and sought to at tack his credibility. This brought vigorous objections from counsel for Ruef, who nhnmrturtzod Mr. Henev's action as "un- "I did," was the answer in a subdued j heard of," and was frequently sustained voice.

Eight battleships, com prising the second squadron-of the Ameri can Atlantic fleet, under command of Rear-Admiral . William H.

The selection of Amoy as a port of call is in accordance with the programme decided upon in Washington when It was determined that the fleet should return to America by way of the Sues Canal. The 1 ships of the fleet left Yokohama together Sunday morning, but divided into two squadrons when two days out, the first, under com mand of Rear-Admiral Sperry on the flag ship Connecticut, heading for the Philip pine Islands, and the second, under Rear Admiral Emory on the Louisiana, bound for Amoy.

China will welcome her visitors with unbounded enthusiasm. The preparations to this end are complete, and Chinese of exalted rank will take part in the festivi ties. China today Is struggling to pre serve he territorial Integrity of Mongolia and Manchuria from the encroachments of Russia and Japan and the presence of these American battleships at Amoy Is welcome to the Pekln government because of the interpretation that China has chosen to give to this friendly act that ths United States is inclined to support her In her contentions with her neighbors, an Interpretation that is not recognized officially, but is of China's own making. The Foreign Consuls located here ex changed "official calls with Prince Tu Lang, who Is here as one of the officials delegated by the Pekln government to re ceive the American fleet. The Prince moved his residence to the reception hall where the American Admiral and the of ficers of the fleet will be entertained.

WASHINGTON, Oct 29. National Dem ocratic Committeeman Edwin A. Newman, of the District of Columbia, related to night a recent conversation he had with Cardinal Gibbons as important in indicat ing the attitude of the Catholic Church in the present Presidential campaign. "Cardinal Gibbons stated," said Mr. Newman, "that he made It a rule not to discuss party politics in a public manner, not to disclose his own preference for any candidate. To do so, he said, would pos sibly expose him and the Catholic Church to undeserved criticism. "The church does not attempt to con trol the political views or political con duct of Its members," said the cardinal. "The United States Catholics are to be found in all political parties, and each member of the church Is free to think and vote as he pleases on political and econo mical questions. Any attempt to bring the church into the political arena or make It the champion or opponent of any candidate or party does it an Injustice." 1 1 V
