The flames spread 50 rapidly that none
of the employees who were on the second
and third floors were able to escape by the
stairway. The girls employed in the
building were on the third floor, and when
the cry of fire was raised they became
panic stricken and rushed for the win
dows. The firemen took several girls
from the third story front windows, while
others ESCAPED from the rear by f~e es-
capes. The money loss was small.

YOUTsEY LIES AS ONE DEAD.
He is Brought Into Court, But Answers No
Questions
(By the Associated Press.)


Georgetown, KY, Oct. 16.-Henry e.
Youtsey on trial charged with being a
principal in the shooting of Governor
Goebel was still unable to enter the court
room today. Lying on his bed, he was
drawn to the door of the jury room, in
plain view of those in the court room,
and the trial proceeded.
At the afternoon session the defence
moved to discharge the jury and continue
the case because the defendant was still
unconscious and in a worse condition than
before.
Judge Cantrill overruled the motion.
The defense asked that Youtsey be
called as a witness.
The sheriff called but Youtsey did not
answer. The defense asked that he be
brought into court.
He is already in court" said the
judge.
1--WE want him on the witness stand, !"
said Colonel Nelson.
Very we'll, bring him in, Mr.. Sheriff,
and put him on the stand" said the
judge.
Deputies and guards brought Youtsey
in on his bed, which they placed in front
of the jury. Colonel Nelson asked Yout-
sey several questions but received no
sort of response, the defendant doing as
one dead.
I'VE can get no response from the wit
ness" said Colonel Nelson.
Very well, let him stand aside,' said
the Judge, and the bed was carried back
to the jury room.
Colonel Nelson made another motion
to discharge the jury because the de-
fendant was not really in court facing his
accusers but simply an unconscious body.
The judge said the law provided that
before he could discharge the jury the
defendant must be adjudged a lunatic
Jim Howard will go on the stand tomor-
row and swear Youtsey did not let him
in Powers office and that he was not
even in the building.
The defense expects to rests it's case to-
morrow.

the police charged to get Colonel Bryan's
carriage through, but every time the
crowd came back. Night sticks were fin
ally drawn and lane opened to let the
Bryan carriage into Irving Place. Through
that street it went on a dash UP Broad
way. Several hundred persons ran in
pursuit and kept right after the carriage
and escort to Union Square, while hun
dreds were on the curb. Toward Madi-
son Square the crowd tired and most of
them dropped out, but an immense crowd
meet Colonel Bryan when he got out of
his carriage. He was taken to his suite
at once. There he received the national
and State and local committees, and was
finally turned over to Chairman Frank
Campbell of the State committee for his
four day trip, which will begin tomorrow
morning through this State. After con-
sulting with Mr.. Campbell it was an

The Speech at Cooper Union.


At 10 o'clock Colonel Bryan arrived at
Cooper Union. His appearance on the
platform was the signal for one of the
most enthusiastic greetings ever accord
ed to any one man in Cooper Union. 1t
was fully five minutes before the enthu-
sasm subsidized and the audience resumed
it's normal quietude. Then John Dewitt
Warner, Chairman of the meeting. intro
duced Colonel Bryan, who spoke in part
as follows:

want, acting for them as their represen-
tative. He is the instrument by which
they accomplish their sovereign will
Colonel Bryan then branched off into
the subject of Imperialism and went into
it thoroughly. He wound up by saying:
Eve have no money with which to buy
votes, no trust magnates to intimidate.
We leave the result to you and appeal to
the confidence of the people. If every
citizen will vote as he could l have no
doubt as to the result. The majority in

CROWD BREAKS ALL RECORDS.

The minute Colonel Bryan stopped
speaking Mr.. Croker took his arm and
led him to the rear of the stand to see
the crowd assembled there. He waved
his hand to them and Mr.. Croker asked:
did you ever see anything like it?"
Wonderful, wonderful" Colonel Bryan
said.
Then the party after handshaking all
around left the stand and got into the
carriages.
The trip to Tammany Hall was made
through streets lined with cheering thou
sands Colonel Bryan and his party arri-
we'd at 1925. Senator Mackey was speak
ing, but as soon as the crowd recog-
nized Bryan, it rose to its feet and
cheered for several minutes. Richard
Croker who accompanied Colonel Bryan
took seat on the rear of the platform
while the candidate went to the front
and acknowledged the greeting
BRYAN AT TAMMANY HALL.
When the cheering had continued for a
couple OF minutes he raised his hand to
command silence. AS soon as he was able
to speak he expressed his appreciation
of the work being done in the campaign
by Tammany Hall and entered on dis
cussion of the Philippine question in his
usual vein.
Tammany Hall had been crowded to re-
Dleton from six o'clock and to fill up
the time before the arrival of Colonel

10000 SHREK FOR BRYAN.

The crowd that Surged about the open
air stand at Madison avenue and Twenty
fourth street, crushing the weakest and
smothering those who were so tightly
packed that the air. which reeked with
the fumes of the Greek fire. could not
reach them, may have numbered 10000,
who cared to hear any one else but Bryan.
Halfma dozen speakers attempted to keep
them quiet until the Presidential cand-
date came from the Garden, but the most
successful speaker had a hard job of it.
Those who had points of vantage on the
stand did little to encourage the speakers,
for their interest was taken up by the
waves of humanity in front and on all
sides of the stand
1t was shortly after o'clock when the
cavalcade heading the Bryan party rode
down Madison avenue to the stand The
carriages could not drive within 80 feet
of it and Colonel Bryan. Mr.. Croker. Mr..
Hearst and James Shevlin. of Brooklyn,
who were in the carriages, walked to the
stand.
The ovation to the candidate was deaf
eningly loud and prolonged. After shak-
ing hands with Mr.. Keller and those on
the stand who could stretch their hands
TO him Colonel BRYAN stood facing the
crowd in front of the stand He uncov-
cred his head, but the bombs were explod-
ing in the air overhead, and the fire from
one almost struck him. Mr.. Bryan drew
away as if to dodge it. The band was
still playing Hail to the Chief" when
Colonel Bryan outstretched his hand to
the audience to command quiet. He said:
