filled the streets for several squares about
the building in vain hope of securing ad-
mission. In the hall, which was fiery
furnace, Mr. Bryan spoke to 10000 ticket
holders for nearly two hours His address
dwelt almost entirely with the financial
question; was more argumcntive and less
eloquent than his historic Chicago speech
which won for him a presidential nomina-
tion and only in closing appeal to the
citizens of New York did he speak in the
strain in which had captured the Chicago
convention.
Surrounded by Silver Leaders.
He was surrounded by many of the sill
yer leaders-Jones of Arkansas, Black
burn of Kentucky, "Silver Dick" Bland
st. John of New York, Stewart of Ne
vada, Tillman of south Carolina, George
Fred Williams of Ma sachusetts, some of
whom had been rival aspirdnts for his
place on the ticket Democratic leaders
of New York with the exception of former
State Treasurer Elliott Danforth, who
presided over the meeting, and Congress
man William Sulzer, who organized the
first Bryan club I'm the state, were also
present. Mr.. Sewall spoke briefly after
Bryan and was heartily cheered. Gov
er'nor. Stone of Missouri delivered the
nptific tion speech which declared that
the work Of the Chicago convention had
been the work Of tha plan people and
that Bryan was their candidate. After
the notification meeting Mr. Bryan was
driven to the Hotel Bartholdi, facing Mad
ison Square garden, where he spoke again,
standing on balcony with Mr. Sewall
and Mrs Bryan, who shared with her
husband all the honors and attention of
the day.
Were Mostly workingmen.
This second audience standing in the
streets seemed To be composed mostly of
workingmen, and them Mr. Bryan ex-
horted 10 support the cause of free silver
with one of the most effective open
speeches which he has made i'm the cam
paign Lesser lights of the party and
single tax men held six overflow meetings
on the streets around Madison square and
made speeches during the garden meeting
so that the opening of the Democratic
campaign in the city made an exceedingly
lively night
The police lines were formed about )
o'clock by 900 picked men. As the hours
rolled on the crowd increa sed so rapidly
that this large force was almost powerless
to handle it. Twice the 10000 men,
women and children, who We're surging TO
get closer to the garden, broke through
the ranks and with difficulty were driven
back. Only one person was reported in
jured, IA marvellous fact, as the enormous
crowd jammed the streets for many
blocks.

1t is thought that j. Bedwell, the man re-
Gently sentenced to serve $50 days in Jail
for obtaining money under false pretenses,
is one of those who attempted to burglarizc
the Wedemeyer house on Alvarado street
while the guests were absent at the church
attending the wedding of Miss Wedemeyer
and j. T. Griffith. j. Scott Oliver of lns-
ley's agency had been detailed there, and
he saw the men trying to climb up the
porch to get into an upper room. They
shot at him, the bullet passing through his
silk hat. He returned the fire, but the men
escaped.
On the night in question Bedweli was
returning to Pasadena on an electric car
and his hand was bound up. He said he
had accidentally shot himself. This cir
cumstance, coupled with the fact that he
tallies with the description of one of the
men, has caused Mr.. Oliver to think that
probably Bedwell and the unknown bur-
gar are one and the same.

mud and he was thrown out. People in
the neighborhood thought he had been

PRICE GONE UP

The Oil Exchange flakes Sale at Fifty
Eight Cents
The oil producers and we'll owners felt
happy yesterday. The price went bounc-
ing up, and under it's new agreement the
oil exchange made its first sale of oil at SO
cents per gallon.
The quantity was not very large, still it
was an indication of what is bound to fol-
low if the agreement that has been signed
by about sixty of the one hundred produc-
ers is carried out.
The sale was made f. o. b. Just one
week ago oil was selling at so cents a
barrel. Every producer in the field was
competing against every other producer,
and there was no probability of securing
unity of action nor uniform price. Now
all is changed. 1t looks as though the
latest agreement was going TO have the full
force and effect which those who designed
it intended-to wit, to give the producer a
fair price for his oil.
