Bridgeport. Conn. Sept. l.-William
Jennings Bryan. who was the guest of
former Senator Archibald Mcneil last
night. left for New York on a morning
train.
lie expressed himself as being In ex-
cellent condition for another busy day be-
fore his departure for the West
Mr.. Bryan left on the express from this
city at 7:4b a. m. On his way from Bridge
port Mr. Bryan was asked what he
thought about the argument OF certain
Republican candidates for president.
Mr.. Bryan said that IL IL was true, as
many Republicans had declared. that he
had completely destroyed the Democratic
party there ought to be dozen of able
Republicans who would be available as
candidate. Ii would appear that almost
any Republican could win with the DEM
ocratic party wiped out.
There would then be no necessity OF
giving President Roosevelt what would he
regarded by many, as prac 1cally third
term. With such an easy victory for the
Republicans ahead. he asked why some
body else should not be given a chance.
Mr. Bryan was told that some OF the
southern Democrats seemed 10 be alarmed
lest the Jim Crow cars should be elm
mated by the adoption OF his ideas OF
federal ownership of railroads, but. he
said In reply that If the various states
owned the lines within their borders, the
local laws would continue to be en-
forced.
Mr.. Bryan said he did not care at this
time TO discuss the details Of how the plan
would affect the carriage OF whites and
negroes on the through lines under fed
eral control. but that later he hoped TO
deal with the subject more fully In
speeches he expected TO deliver in diff
ferent parts OF the country.

unable to warn the inhabitants of the
catastrophe that was TO come.
On the day following the destruction
of San Francisco, Houghton made his
way TO this side of the bay with hun
dreds of other refugees and took up
his quarters in the battered and leaky
hulk of the yacht. There he managed
to live with provisions that were fur
nished him by the relief committee and
by persons residing along the water
front. who made the acquaintance of
the old man.
Some days ago Houghton was taken
down with rheumatic pains that Grip
pied him so that he was unable to
leave his hulk home. His condition was
reported to DR. l.. w Stidham, the To-
cal health officer. who visited the lone
seer and discovered Him in a pltiable
plight. The physician arranged for the
removal of the aged patient to the
County Infirmary.

tives In California with the exception
of one sister who, he believes, is some
where in San Francisco.
