AFRAID
SAYS WIN. j. BRYAN
Nebraskan Thinks There Must Have Been Powerful Cause to
Force His Withdrawal from the Race for Congress.
Has Put Party in an Awkward Position

Lincoln, Neb.. September 25-Hon. W.
]. Bryan, in this weeks commoner, takes
the view that Speaker Henderson's with
drawal was prompted by fear of defeat.
Mr. Bryan says in part:
Speaker Henderson's withdrawal from
the congressional race furnishes the most
sensational feature of the campaign His
district having an overwhelming repub-
lican majority. his election seemed as
sured, Notwithstanding the activity of
the democrats and the desertion of some
republicans. supposed to be comparative
ly few. 1t must have required some pow
erful Cause to force withdrawal under
such circumstances. What was the
cause?
In his letter he gives but one-namely,
that he finds many republicans in his
district in favor Of putting trust-made
articles on the free list as a remedy for
private monopolies, and as he is opposed
to that remedy he declares that he pre-
ferred to retire to private life rather than
strike such blow at the system of pro-
lection. 1t is only fair to assume that
the republican detection in his district is
so serious as to make him believe his
election impossible. for on no other the

EXAGGERATED, SAYS MITCHELL.
There Is No Reign of Terror, Accord
ing to Leading Miners.

Indianapolis, September 25.-President
John Mitchell OF the United Mine Work.
ers Of America, In a long-distance tele-
phone message to the News today from
Wilkesbarre, Pa, says:
1.-THE press reports of 1aw1essness in the
strike region are greatly exaggerated.
There has been no serious outbreak.
There have been Individual acts of
lawlessness, but nothing that has ap-
preached a concerted move on the part
of the strikers. There is no reign of terror
and the miners are conducting themselves
as peaceably as when the strike started.
"It is not for me to criticize the state
authorities in sending troops to the strike
region, but I do not see any more need
for troops now than there was the day
the strike began.
"The miners are standing firm, and I
can see no evidence of weakening on
their part Every day non-union miners
are quitting the mines and joining forces

ory would he be justified even according
to his own logic in refusing to make the
fight.
IF he believes. as he evidently does,
that the nations prosperity depends upon
maintaining a high tariff wall, then it
was his duty to fight for its preserva-
tion.
1t must be remembered. too, that the
action was taken without consulting
those who share with him the responsible
tiles of leadership-taken on the very
day when the President and the republic
can leaders IN the senate-Hanna, Aid
rich, Spooner, Allison and Lodge-met at
Oyster Bay and decided to ignore the
tariff question in the present campaign.
No wender the republicans are panic
stricken. Some say that Mr.. Henderson,
finding that he could not conscientiously
represent his constituents on that ques-
tion, withdrew as a matter of honor. but
how could Mr.. Henderson ascertain be-
fore election the views of his eonsttu-
ents?
Mr.. Henderson has put the party In
a position where 1t must condemn him
in order to save the party"
Mr.. Bryan then proceeds with an elab-
crate argument in favor Of free trade
on trust-made articles, and concludes
with the declaration that the democrats
have a great opportunity and should
improve 1t.

VENEZUELA SAYS
she REGRETS IT
WITH THAT THE RESTAURADOR
INCIDENT is CLOSED-BOAT
HOISTED AMERICAN FLAG TO
PREVENT BEING FIRED ON.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Septem-
Of the closing incident from the action
of the Venezuelan warship Restaurador
in hoisting the American flag, approach
ing Ciudad. Bolivar, under those colors,
and then opening fire on the town.
It was through United States Consul
Goldschmidt at LaGuaira that the news
was transmitted to Minister Bowen at
Caracas, and the latter, after obtaining
confirmation of the report, called on the
foreign minister, Senior Lopez Baralt, pre-
sented the case to him and obtained his
promise that satisfaction would be ac-
corded by Venezuela after the matter
had been investigated by the Venezuelan
authorities.
About sixteen hours later the govern
ment of Venezuela, through the foreign
minister expressed its regret at the oc-
currence, and orders were forwarded to
the commander of the Restaurador to
hoist the American flag and salute 1t. At
3 o'clock Thursday the foreign warships
at anchor off LaGuaira were surprised,
the whole matter having been kept Sc
cret, to see the ReStdui 'uol hoist '..o
stars and stripes and then fire salute
of twenty-one guns. Never before has
the Venezuelan government acted so
nromptly and so satisfactorily as the re-
sult of Diplomatic representations, and
n emphasizes Venezuela's desire to main
tain the most friendly relations with the
United States. The Americans at Cara
cas- are praising Mr.. Bowen for so quick
ly bringing about a settlement of the af-
fair, which at one time promised to as

BLOWS UP HOTEL
WITH DYNAMITE
MAN WRECKS EAGLE HOTEL IN
WASHINGTON AND PROPRIE-
TORS WIFE is SERIOUSLY IN
JURED-PAlD HER ATTENTIONS.

Washington, September 25.-The Col
den Eagle hotel, on the corner of New
Jersey avenue and N street, was dyna-
mted this morning at 4:3O o'clock, it is
alleged by Frank Mckee, one of the
guests, who subsequently committed sui
eide. Between twenty and thirty guests
were thrown from their beds by the ex-
plosion, but only the proprietor, Louis
Brandt. and his wife, were injured, the
latter seriously. The roof of the building
was blown off and the falling wreckage
crushed through to the basement leav-
ing the structure as If wrecked by tor
nado. Every pane of glass in the building
and .he adjoining structure were broken.
The explosion called out the fire depart
ment.
The affair is involved in some mystery.
The proprietor gave banquet last night
in honor of his wife, who had just re-
turned from Germany, and Mckee was
guest. During the evening Mckee and
Brandt quarreled over the formers at
tention to Mrs. Brandt and Mckee left
the hotel threatening revenge. He re-
turned about o'clock and is said 10 h
exploded the dynamite in the room above
that occupied by Brandt and his wife,
subsequently shooting himself in the
head. Mckee was about 2S years of age
and 1t is said was In fairly good circum-
stances. He came here several years ago
from Philadelphia. A member of the
Brandt family stated that he had lost
considerable money at the races recently
and had acted irrationally. 1t is said he
was employed at one time in the navy
yard here.
Mckee had boarded at the hotel four
years and hal been treated as a member
Of the Brandt family. which included a
daughter, Sophie. with whom Mckee is
said to have been in love. Mckee re-
marked last night that he was going to
wait until Sophie returned from Germany
with her mother and then was going to
his old home in Philadelphia. Mrs. Brandt
and her daughter returned about
o'clock last night. The attempt at whole
sale murder followed this morning.
When the wrecked building was search
ed today enough dynamite was found in
McKee's trunk to blow up block of
buildings. There were six whole sticks
and parts of two or three broken sticks,
together with a box of caps and guam
tity of wire for lons distance explosion.
He had at least nine sticks of dynamite
in his possession.
Mckee was about 2S years old. He was
formerly of Philadelphia. He was ma
chinist in the navy yard here, but re-
signed on inheriting upwards of $4,000
four years ago. This amount he is said
to have lost on the races and his act is
accredited by some to this loss.
Detectives are investigating the case.

Detroit, Mich, September 25-Driven
to desperation by the prospect of being
forever separated from her lover, in the
expectation of marrying whom she had
nearly circled the globe. Alexandra Jo-
seph, young Syrian girl, in a supreme
effort to escape from the United States
immigrant agent, who was about to de-
port her, threw herself from the window
of a Michigan Central passenger train
running 50 miles an hour today, and was
instantly killed.
The tragedy occurred two miles north
of Newport on the Toledo division Of
the Michigan Central and was the cul-
mination of years of effort by Joseph
Abodeely of Cedar Rapids, Ia, to lead his
old world sweetheart to the altar. But
when he had saved enough money to pay
the girls passage to the United States
and she had come as far as Montreal on
May 16. the girl was refused admittance
