BRAVE POLICEMAN
STOPS RUNAWAY.

Patrolmsn P. NJ Kissane is a hero.
Early yesterday morning, at the peril
Of his life, the intrepid policeman
stopped a team OF horses that in their
wild flight narrowly missed running
down a man and woman. But for the
prompt action on the part of Kissane,
who clung TO the heads Of the frenzied
horses, the pedestrians would have met
death. Kissane was dragged for a
block before the team could be stopped
In the gray light Of dawn a pair of
spirited horses hauling newspaper
mail wagon took fright and started
from Third and Market streets while
the driver, E. T. Howes, was absent.
Rushing wildly up Market street, the
rUnaways had a clear path. The
horses turned into Golden Gate avenue
and sped westward on that thorough
fare. At Van Ness avenue an old man
enc woman who were picking their
confused and stood rranshxed in the
path Of the runaway.
Kissane heard the clatter OF the
wagon and, Fastening down Van Ness
avenue, he sprang in front Of the cou-
ple causing the team to swerve. As
the frightened horses passed the pa
trnlrnan flung himself bodily at them
and, clutching the brides, was dragged
for nearly a block before he brought
them to a stop. He was unharmed
outside Of being slightly bruised.
Persons who witnessed the thrilling
escape Of the old couple and saw the
daring act of Kissane were loud In their
praise Of the policeman's ccolness. They
say there is a medal coming to Kis-

BALLOON CATCHES
FIRE IN M|DA|R.
Aeronant and Assistant
FallOneHundredFeet
and Are Fatally Hurt
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE balloon
which goes up daily at Bergen Beach
and turns loose the aeronaut at dizzy
height for a descent in hs parachute
took fire in midair today. The aero
naut and his assistant, after fighting
the flames at a height of 100 feet from
the ground, came down with the col
lapsed balloon and were badly, per-
haps. fatally injured.
The accident occurred over the grounds
of the Arlington Hotel in Flatbush.
The injured men are Wilson Ellesquist,
the aeronaut, and Joseph Morse, his
assistant.
The people on the porch of the hotel
saw that there was something wrong
with the balloon. 1t swayed in the air
and began to smoke. Presently they
were terrified to see it was afire
The Mortified people watched the
struggle in midair, powerless to give
any aid. The balloon descended, wab-
bling. until it was within a hundred
feet of the ground. then suddenly col
lapsed. and the smoking ruins, inHolv-
ing the men, fell in a heap in front of
the hotel
Doctors found the men to be masses
of burns and bruises, and both were
manifestly injured internally. The
graves fears are entertained for their
recovery.

BRYAN MAPS OUT
RAILROAD FIGHT.
Believes That Each State
Should Control. the
Lines Within Borders
PLAN A NEW ONE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. IA letter re-
ceived in this city from Zurich, Swift
zerland, under date of August 1. brings
the first definite statement of William
Jennings Bryan's programme for turn
ing the railroads of the country over
to the Federal and State governments
The plan is new and has been care
fully worked out. The letter, which is
from a newspaper correspondent, says:
Mr.. Bryan will attack the trusts
in his New York speech and 1t is pos
sible that he will go further and give
his views on certain forms of public
ownership of the utilities, with es-
pecial reference to railroads, both in
terstate and within States.
His plan would admit Of the own
ership of certain trunk lines by the
general Government, in order that
those famously efficient should not in
any way suffer impairment. but he
would insist that the local lines in
every State be owned by the separate
States, thus preserving more effectu-
ally the idea Of State individuality
which, in Mr.. Bryan's opinion. would
In time be wiped out IL all lines passed
into Federal control.
The enormous patronage that would
be the result of such a railroad man
agement in America would, OF course,
tend to intrench the party In power,
and would In time accomplish what
Mr.. Bryan fears-the abolition of State
houndaries"

WOMAN annoying
THE PRESIDENT.
Female Crank at Oyster
Bay Creates a Scene
During ChurchServ
SEEKS INTERVIEW

NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-Miss Asi l.
Esac. who is summering in Oyster Bay
for the purpose of interviewing the
President or Mrs. Roosevelt on what
she declares is "a matter of life and
DEATH" created scene during the SER
vice in Christ Episcopal Church to-
day. Miss Esac. or Miss Case. as her
name is supposed to be, has attended
every church meeting the President has
attended here since July. She has
climbed Sycamore Hill on foot several
times. only to be turned away by the
secret service men.
She presented herself early today at
the church and took a seat directly be-
hind the pew usually occupied by the
Roosevelt family. When Usher James
Duffy requested her to relinquish this
seat she refused. Duffy forcibly re-
moved her to the rear of the church.
and Miss Esac says he tore her gown
in so doing. For this act she later
applied for a warrant for Duffy's ar
rest, but was refused.
In the rear of the church Miss ESac
refused to sit down. A secret service
agent stood beside her and during the
service she made no less than a dozen
attempts to get past him. AS the Pres
ident was leaving the church the secret
service men surrounded Miss Esac, but
she shouted: Mr.. President. Mr.. Pres
ident. President Roosevelt, won't you
speak to me a moment?"
The President turned his head as he
passed. but he did not pause. Miss
Esac says her watch chain was broken
in this scrimmage and her watch fell to
the floor.
The President was accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt, Quentin and Represent
ative and Mrs. Longwortn.
Miss Esac has stated to acquaintances
she has made while here that she was
to have been married three weeks after
Miss Roosevelt became Mrs. Long
worth; that she was to have married
a high Government official. and that it
was this wrong she sought to redress.
When the Presidents carriage had de-
parted Miss Esac was allowed to go. 1t
was then she sought a warrant for
Duffy. She says she will stay in Oys-
ter Bay until she accomplishes her pur-
pose.
Representative and Mrs. Longworth
expect to leave for Washington and
Cincinnati tomorrow.

CANAL COMMISSION
On THE ALERT.
Will Protect Interests of
Chinese Employed for
the Isthmian Work

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Care will
be taken by the United States Govern
ment to prevent contractors doing in
justice to the Chinese laborers en-
ployed for work on the Panama canal
The specifications advertising for pro-
posals to supply $500 Chinese to the
Canal Commission will stipulate that
the Secretary 70 War shall have the
privilege Of passing on contracts which
labor agents make with the Chinese
who are to be sent to the iSthmus. This
provision will make it possible for Sec
retarya Taft to prevent discrimination
against the coolies by INSCRIPTIONS
contractors. Under this arrangement
the United States will know exactly
what the Chinese are paid by the labor
agents and the Chinese Government
will be enabled to AFFORD its subjects
protection on the isthmus because OF
the ease with which this Government
will be able to regulate the conditions
between the laborers and the agents.
Some labor agents believe that with
the many restrictions the Canal Com
mission proposes placing on contractors
IL will not be possible to supply the
Chinese at less than 81 a day. other
agents are of the opinion that the
coolies can be supplied for so or so
cents a day with fair margin Of profit
to the contractors.

LIFE Of A WOMAN
IS SACRIFICED.
Takes Poison and Her
Friends Do Not Call
Doctor Till Too Late
NO PITY is SHOWN

Suffering from toothache from
which she could get no relief and
brooding over family troubles led Mrs.
Harry Stevens OF SS Parkside avenue
to end her life yesterday afternoon by
drinking chloroform. While she was
dying In great agony Carl Bennett, her
brother-in-law, walked leisurely into
the Park Emergency Hospital and Of
fered the surgeon in attendance $50 to
attend sick woman" He did not ex-
plain the seriousness OF the case and
when the facts became known nearly
an hour later Mrs. Stevens was beyond
the aid Of physicians. She was removed
to the hospital, however, and shortly
afterward died.
Mrs. Stevens arrived here from Chi
cago about-a month ago and went to
live with Bennett and her sister, Miss
Anna Smelling, on Parkside avenue. Be-
fore leaving Chicago divorce proceed
ings were begun by her husband. and
upon arriving here she learned that
steps were TO be taken to deprive herl
OF the custody of her dve-year-oId
daughter. who is being cared for by
friends in Stockton. These family
troubles, together with a toothache
from which she could get no relief. ars
supposed TO have mentally unbalanced
her and in a fit OF desperation she
swallowed the poison.
Her cries OF pain. after taking the
poison. attracted attention and Bennett
was dispatched for a doctor. After
walking several blocks Bennett went to
the Park Emergency Hospital and Of
fered DR.. Glover $50 to attend a sick
woman Glover. on learning that the
patient was not to be taken to the hospt-
tai. informed Bennett that he could not
leave the hospital while on duty. Ben
nett departed and half-hour later ap-
peared at the police station and told the
story Of Mrs. Stevens desperate deed
The ambulance was Immediately sent
after her and when she reached the
hospital she was breathing her last.
Bennett gave the womans name at the
Emergency Hospital as Mrs. Rose
Quinn and his own as G. Stone. while he
said that a woman who accom-
panied him was his wife. He declared
that the poison was taken to cure a
toothache and not with suicidal intent.
After Mrs. Stevens death he told the
truth of the affair and offered as an ex-
cuse for his conduct that he feared the
notoriety likely to follow IL the unfor-
tunate woman was taken TO the hospf-
tai. Had the case been called to the
attention OF a physician Immediately
after Mrs. Stevens swallowed the poi
son there is little doubt but her
life could have been saved

LAW TOO LEN|ENT
WITH ANARCHISTS.
Secretary Bonaparte in
Favor ofDeath Penalty
In Extreme Gases

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. 12.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Charles ]. Bonaparte
delivered an address this evening at the
Allegheny Chautauqua near Cumber-
land before a large gathering. his sub
ject being "Anarchism and Its Rem
edy." Secretary Bonaparte said in
closing:
On anarchists the death penalty
should be unequivocally imposed by
law and inhexibly executed. whenever
the prisoner has sought directly or in
directly, to take life; for offenses of
less gravity advise a comparatively
brief but very rigorous Imprisonment
characterized by complete seclusions
any form of distraction, and which
could be, to my mind, advantageously
puPPe hs iagS Of put ali not on
ishments most clearly shows the cul-
prit that he suffers for what his fellow
men hold odious and disgraceful and
not merely. for reasons of public policy.
Any abridgment for fear of anarch-
lists of that freedom of speech and of
the press guaranteed US by orr State
but these priSileges g in NO 's Wise p3hes shieid
disorder and rebellin. Any changes
however sweeping, in our laws and
government may be urged and any ar
guments, however wild or grotesQue,
advanced to justify them. provided the
method of change be orderly and law
full; but a published writing recon-
mending the murder of the chief Pag--
the Government is a seditious libel at
common law, and there is no good rea-
son why public utterances of spoken
words of the same purport should not
be made a like offense by common law.
1t Is already a crime to advise a felony
or grave misdemeanor if the advice
leads to the crime suggested, and there
become a substantial ofiense without
regard to its consequences, as is a
criminal conspiracy.
The final and most truly vital con-
dition of success in ridding the country
of anarchism In practice is that Ameri-
can public opinion should recognize the
utter emptiness, the inherent folly of
its theory and of all the kindred ready
made, furnished while you wait schemes
Civilized society as it exists today, If
ii be nothing more. is the outcome of
all the strivings for justice and happi-
ness of the human race during thou
sands of years. What monstrous pre-
sumption, what preposterous conceit
for any man, were he the wisest, the
most learned, the most justly famed
of his own age or of all ages, to imag-
inc, that. with but the. dim. fiickering
with but the few imperfect lessons of
his own short, III spent life to guide
his hand, he could cast down and build
up again this incredibly vast, this in
hnitely complex fabric and improve on
its structure.

CHICAGO, Aug 12.-State Bank Ex-
aniner c. G.. Jones completed his in
spection of the affairs of the defunct
Milwaukee avenue State Bank this af-
ternoon and will forward his report on

The local police and the State Attor-
ney's Office continued their inquiries to-
day. Inspector Shippy questioned more

Stensland and Cashier Herring
According to the Chicago Chronicle,
Paul 0. Stensland, the president of the
defunct bank and for whom the police
in every important city are watching,
has been seen in Chicago twice within
a week. Two witnesses, one of whom
William Jennings, was for five years
a porter in the bank, told today of
having met the banker or the street.
Each time, it is asserted, he was ac-
companied by James Erickson,
nephew.
Stensland was made the subject of
a number Of attacks from various pull
pits today.
