THE "TRIP ABANDONED

Chicago, Oct. 15.-The projected trip
or the committee appointed by the popu-
list executive committee to call on Mr..
Watson has been abandoned.
Senator Butler left for Washington
last night
Committeeman Reed of Georgia. and
George f. Washburn. chairman of the
western branch of the committee. who
were to accompany Senator Butler to
Georgia, are still in town and say no
formal call will be made on Mr.. Watson.
A telegram was received from the pop
nlist vice presidential candidate today.
hut both gentlemen emphatically deny
that its contents were the cause of the
abandonment of the trip. Mr.. Wash
burn stated that the trip was abandoned
because it was absolutely necessary for
Senator Butler to return to Washington
mt once.
What the contents OF the telegram
were is causing much speculation, as it
was understood last night that the COM
mittee intended to start unless word was
heard from Mr.. Watson to the contrary.

terday was by no means pleasing to the
vice presidential candidate and the com
mlttee's haste in notifying him of the
intended visit is said to have been the
result OF fear that he would take pre-
clpltate action before the conference
could be held. That fear was set at
rest, however, by a message which Mr..
watson sent to Chairman Washburn to-
uay expressing his willingness to see the
committee Mr.. Watson, according to
the rumor, allayed the fears of the pop
ullst leaders by appending to his tele-
gram the statement that he would await
the coming of the subcommittee.
III IS believed from this that the cand-
dates letter of acceptance will not be
published until after the coming confer
ence, although he was expected to have
given it to the press tonight. What the
outcome of the committee will be is al
together guess work, though there is n
growing impression that Mr.. Watson will
take more kindly to the alleged sugges-
ton of withdrawal that be would have
done at an earlier date in the campaign
He is expected to leave Thomson for
Atlanta as soon as he is definitely in
formed as to the time the committee will
arrive here. There has been some dis
pute as to whether the conference will
be had ut Atlanta or Thomson, but it
is thought that Atlanta has been de-
cided upon.

He explained that dollar with the
stamp of the United States was worth
100 cents the world over. and when
asked about the 53-cent dollar by one OF
his audience he answered the interroga-
tory with his usual explanation, but in
such n manner as to somewhat EN-
barrass the questioner.
At Petoskey Mr.. Bryan spoke from
platform in the rear of the station to an
early morning crowd Of several hundred.
Many of those in the audience wore
yellow badges marked "An Honest Dol
lar" Noticing these, the candidate
asked to know whether the phrase re-
ferred to the gold standard or to free
silver. A voice answered Sixteen to
one" and this satisfied Mr.. Bryan, for
he said no more about it, proceeding with
the discussion of the silver doctrine.
Fair sized crowds also greeted him
at Charlevoix and Belaire, where the
nominee made five-minute speeches. lie

badges worn by the republicans in the

American racing men are big draw

the leading riders in this country are
now in communication with race man
ayers in France to ride in professional

look it seems likely that big agsre-

Murphy. Eddie Bald and Harry Wheel

Europe. In France professional rae
ing is popular and the purses are lib

Something New In Headlights.


1t is said by railroad experts that
about half Of the accidents that occur
are due to derailments on curves. AS
the headlight is at present constructed.
1t throws the light straight on, and
when the locomotive comes to the
curve. portion of it is in darkness
In the new invention the light is so ar
ranged that 1t is suspended on pivots
on top and bottom. so that it swings
freely. From the bottom Of the head
light two chains run to the ends of an
arm connected by rod running to the
truck OF the pivot wheels. When the
pilot wheels strike the curve. the out
side wheel is thrown slightly in adj
vance. and this moves the rod and chain
so as to throw the light directly on to
the track. instead of in a straight line.
thereby leaving a portion of the track
in darkness. This is thought to be an
invention of great value. and locomo-
tive engineers are wondering that no
one has thought of it before.
