J The Bryan srctal arrived here early

hand to welcome the candidate. In re
Iodm to the demand vt many present.
jMr. Bryan stopped on tlie station plat
f irm Jona enough to shake hands with
It -verar hundred persons who crowded
about him. He was thn hurried away
f r the two addresses scheduled for the
tevenmg. The prinrlpal gathering was
Jnt the Wieting Opera-house, where Alton
,R I'nrker also spoke. Mr. F.irker laud
'e ! Mr. Hoii In a spoech which on
Ii.tlnd also much rrltleiwn for Mr. Taft

Parker's Fulsome- Laudation.
"It gives me pleasure." he said, "to
come here tonisht. peclnlly hecuuee I
om permitted to artvo. ate for a l'ttle time
the cause of one who han Ideals, lofty
character and exalted patriotism the
Iiemocratlc standard-bearer for the Presl-d-nry."
. The great crowd cheered Itself hoarse
when he concluded this tribute to Mr.
Bryan.
In his principal remarks. Mr. Bryan
called attention to the fact that the cam
pa.Cn was drawing to a close and that
the Republicans were resorting to
throat of a panic In case he should be
elected. He referred to the presence In
the city of Mr. Taft and expressed won
der that Mr. Taft had not been able to
stave off the panic of WT. when be wa
In Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet.
Plea for Deposit Gnaninty.
Mr. Bryan caused a storm of applause
when. In discussing- the guaranty of bank
deposits as advocated in the Denver plat
form, he minted. In refutation of Mr.
Taffs statement that the guaranty of de
posits would aveiken the National banking
system, an excerpt from a United States
Consular report, as follows:
- The well-known thrift of the German fro
ple hap Its foundation on facta The sv
Ir.irs banks of Oennany havs some 19.000.000
pass books out and their amount of de
posits 1 13.J13.00o.000. Ties, deposits are
prartlcally ail guaranteed by the various
municipalities of the empire, and the con
- dltlon forms a bulwark of confidence In the
security of private wealth and earnings
that cannot be shaken br hard times, pan
tea bank failures, eta.
-Here Is a fact Mil Mr. Bryan,
which I present In answer to Mr.
Taft's opinion. The German people
cannot be accused of carelessness In
their banking business, any more than
they can In other business."
A feature of the meeting was the fact
that It was presided over by Thomas
W. Meacham. president of the Syracuse
Chamber of Commerce.
BR. TAX TALKS ON CAIxMITY
Money Wasted on Red Fire While
Men Are Homeless.
ROME. N. T.. Oct. 2. "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

aser laad tbe people In the right dl-
taorflmr these leodmrs have betrayed the

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.
Stand Stlff-Knecd. Says Kern.
ROCKVILLE. Ind., Oct 29. A crowd
that cheered the hearts of the Demo
cratic Vice-Presidential candidate and
his co-campaigners packed the Court
house yard here today and listened to
and roundly applauded John W. Kern.
Mr. Kern was In better voice than
yesterday, and here and at other stop
ping plnce entered into a discussion
of campaign Issues with enthusiasm,
which was reflected In the temper of
his audience. He urged voters to
"stand stiff-kneed" against threats of
discharge In the event of Bryan's election.
Kern Fnds Indiana Campaign.
TERRE HAUTE.' Ind.. Oct 29. Two
more rousing meetings In this city to
night brought the fourth day of John W.
Kern's Indiana campaign to a whirlwind
finish. An hour before he appeared here
he addressed a big crowd of miners and
laboring men at Hralll.

flames and unable to escape from the

Confessed Jury-Briber Says
Newburgh and Murphy
Bought Him.
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.

having- secured the twelfth Juror in the
Kuef trial today. 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.

WELCOME TO FLEET
China Plans Big Reception to
Uncle Sam's Warriors.
SECOND SQUADRON AT AMOY
Festivities Wiy Be Taken Part In by
Xoted Chinese Personages.
Preparations for Recep
tions Are Complete.
AMOY. Oct. 30. Eight battleships, com
prising the second squadron-of the Ameri
can Atlantic fleet, under command of
Rear-Admiral . William H. Emory, ar
rived here this morning after an unevent
ful voyage from Yokohama. 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. The two squadrons will Join
forces again at Manila, the second divi
sion being scheduled to leave this port
November 4 and to arrive at Manila No
vember 7.
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.
Viceroy Song, fearing the revolutionists,
who have made many threats, has re
turned aboard the cruiser Hal Yung,
where he will remain during the reception.
ANOTHER FALL IN WAGES
Decline In Cotton Goods Reduces
Fall River Scale.
FALL RIVER. Mass.. Oct 29.-Ja.mes
Tansey, president of the Fall River Tex
tile Council, has notified the union rep
resentatives that under the wage agree
ment between the Manufacturers' Associa
tion and the council there will be a fur
ther reduction In wages In the cotton mills
next month. As nearly as can be figured
out, the cnt will amount to about 8 per
cent, which will reduce the price of weav
ing from 19.88 cents per out to 18 cent.
The scale Is based on the margin be
tween the cost of scot cotton In the New
i York oark. nd the sailing -prto. of Btx
64 regular print cloths here. Last May
the margin fell off to such an extent that
a cut of 18 per cent in wages was made.
The Fall River mills employ 30,000 persons.

CHURCH NOT IN POLITICS
Will "ot Attempt to Control Mem
bers' Votes, Says Gibbons.
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
