ASKS FOR THEIR RELEASE.
Bryan Would Not Prosecute the Young
Chicago HOodlums.


Chicago, October 2S.-Chauncey Fos-
ter and L. ]. Hanchett. two of the four
students of the Metropolitan Business
College, accused of having thrown eggs
at Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan during the pa
rade yesterday. were arrested about
noon by Detectives McCaffery and Fay.
They are sons of well-to-do South side
families. They confessed to Chief of
Police Badenoch that they had thrown
the eggs. Thomas Gahan, chairman of
the Democratic county committee. has
received the following letter from Bry-
an regarding the matter:
Auditorium Hotel, chicago, Oct. 2S.-
Dear Mr.. Gahan: I wish you would
ask for the release of the boys arrested
for throwing eggs, 1 am sure it was
an act of thoughtlessness, and their
arrest has doubtless been a sufficient
lesson to them and others. Yours Tru-
ly, (Signe6 W. j. Bryan"
Late in the afternoon the chief of DO
lice was compelled to release the two
young prisoners as, after Bryan had
written his letter asking for their re-
lease, it was evident that there would
be no prosecution if the prisoners We're
arraigned. Before the prisoners had
been released word was received from
both of their families, saying that the
law could take its course. as no part
in the defense would be taken by either
of their relatives.

A CHURCHMAN
OPPOSES BRYAN
Views of Archbishop katzer and Mgr.
Augustin Zeininger, His
Vice-General.
THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES
Is Not Our Money system-Free Silver
Would Bring Ruin and Revolution
Tt Must Be Showed Under"
Object to IS TO l.

Milwaukee. Wis, October 2s.-Mgr.
Augustin Zelninger, Archbishop Kat
zers vicar-general. gave out last night
a statement expressing the views OF the
archbishop on the political situation.
He said:
II have made careful study OF the
situation and have read all Of Mr. Bry-
ans silver arguments. but not found a
single point in favor Of the free COIN
age Of silver. 1 can see only social revo-
luton following its adoption. 1t must
be showed under. It will not do to de-
feat Bryan by close vote. That will
only lay the issue over for four years,
during which business will suffer be-
cause of the uncertainty OF the next
campaign.
There is no reason to think free sill
yer would benefit the laboring classes or
even the debtors of the country. The
hard times throughout industrial cir
cles are due entirely to different causes
than our money system. Labor depends
for employment upon demand, and to
create that demand we must have our
factories running and our industries in
such condition that there is work for
our people to do.
What object to most is the ratio Of
l6 to l. We had free coinage prior to
1873, we are told. and IL did NOT bring
ruin. But then silver was worth more
as merchandise than as money. 1t is
its cheapness that is Objectionable.
Those who would be benefited by free
silver are the silver barons and those
who have enough to buy the metal for
speculation" ....,
Vicar-General Zeininger was asked If
this represented the position Of Arch
bishop Katzer. and replied; "Archbish-
op Katzer endorses my views"

LUMBERMEN's COMBINE.
After Much Confering 1t Is Agreed t
Perpetuate Last Years Pool.

Perpetuate Last Years Pool.
san Francisco, October 2S.-After sew
eral weeks of daily conferences the
lumbermen interested in the domestic
trade have arrived at the conclusion
that their various interests can he best
suhserved by remaining in the pool
which they have maintained during the
past year under the name of the Cen
tral Lumber Co., of California. 1t re-
quired an enormous amount of confer
ing to settle the multitudinous interests
involved, but this has at length been
accomplished and nearly all of the mills
on the books last year have renewed
their pledge to stand by each other.
Prices will remain the same for the
present, at least During the year Just
closing there has been falling off of
40 per cent in business as compared
with the previous year. Some large
mills have been closed in consequence
but it is claimed the pool has enabled
all the mill men on its books to realize
an average profit of per cent on their
investments, whether their mills were
operated or idle. Without a pool it is
asserted that every mill on the coast
would have been running at loss.
