laid his hand on the young wonlan's 8
shoulder as she was about to mount her
wheel in front of Tom Vests hotel for
her long night ride and commanded her
not to get off her whetl.

young woman Indignantly.

She had just finished 1926 miles.
Her trainer and reputed fance, Will
Brown, could not be seen here today, and
no one seemed to know where, why or
when he went away.
She was stopped as the autorities con
sidered she was doing herself injury.
Miss Cast blamed the rivalry among
bicycle clubs for the stopping OF her long
ride.
The law in the case is very plain. l
provides as follows:
In a bicycle race or other contest OF
speed, skill or endurance, wherein ont

Says His Chicago Speech Was Misquoted and GarbIed.
THINKS TRUSTS A BUG-A-B00
Gotten Up Especially to Make Votes for MT. Bryan-Mr. Hanna Retires from the Stump for Sew
 eral Weeks

Cleveland, O., September 23.-Senator Hanna left for New York this evening. He will remain at the Republican head quarters for two or three weeks. and will then return to Chicago. In an interview today he said:
 The speech I made at Chicago on the so-called trust issue was misquoted and garbled. What said was that there were no trusts in the meaning of the law. When said that, I did not say that there are no combinations of capital, nor did I say that there are no commissions to work injustice to the people. This so-called a-boo of Bryan's to catch votes. What antitrust laws have been enacted have been enacted by the Repub- licans. On the so-called trust issue Bryan Is defensive. He can't tell why the Democratic party has never supported or proposed any legislation to regulate the commercial commissions of the country. Bryan cannot defend the Democratic party on that issue. and it, with the issue of im-
 erialism, will soon be relegated to the
 ear. The money question will soon be the 'aramount issue Bryan will have to meet hat issue too"
 Senator Hanna said he had not decided to go on the stump in the East, but would do so if he thought best He declared that he had issued no challenge to MT. Bryan for a joint debate, nor had he challenged anybody to debate. However, he said he was not afraid to meet anybody on the Issues of the campaign.
