OVERCOME BY GAS.
p. H. Branded May Die as Result of

When DR.. Keith was called to at
tend the old man, who seems to be
about 65 years of age, he at once call
ed an ambulance and had the victim
removed to his hospital. Brandell
was a stranger at his rooming place,
having been there but a few days, and
telling nothing about himself. He was
discovered Monday by other residents
of the house, seated in a chair in
front of the stove. He was barely
alive, and according to the opinion
of the physician, would have been
dead in less than thirty minutes more.
Among Brandell's letters was found
a communication from some fake
concern doing business in Topeka,
and the letter will be turned over to
the postal authorities, whether the
old man lives or dies. This letter was

RUNS NIGHT AND DAY.
Guggenheim S1nelter Is Trying to Re-
neve the Money Stringency.

New York, Nov. 19.-Daniel Gug-
genheim, president of the American
Smelling & Refining company, in a
statement issued here said that his
company is cooperating with the gov
enrment to meet the unusual demands
for currency. He said that the plants
of the company were being operated
day and night to expedite the refining
of gold and silver. Regarding the
general attitude of the smelling COM
pany toward the money market, Mr..
Guggenheim said:
1.-The value of the gold and silver
produced by the American Refining &
Smelling company has been running
in excess of $100,OO0,000 for a year.
For some time the refineries of the
company have been running night and
day to increase this production of gold
and silver for the benefit of the gov
ernment and the business of the coun-
try.
''The smelling company regularly
deposits its gold product with the gov
ernment daily and has not sought to
obtain any premium on this product.
In this matter we have pursued the
same policy that we did in 1893. Then,
too, there was a premium on cur
rency. but we turned our government
checks over to the banks and allowed
them to collect the cash without try
ing to profit ourselves by the pre-
MUM 1t Is right to so act, and the
banks appreciate it."

TRUST MEETS TRUST.
SisaI Hemp Growers Combine to Resist
Harvester People.

New York, Nov. 19.-If nothing oc-
ours to mar the carefully laid plans of
the sisal hemp producers of the state
of Yucatan, Mexico, the International
Harvester company known as the
Agricultural Implement trust in future
will have to pay for their supplies just
whatever price the plantation owners
may feel inclined to ask. Thus one
concern with a practical monopoly will
be compelled to deal with another
smaller, perhaps, but in position to
show a very arrogant spirit.
Details of the producers plans have
been received here and show thorough
ness in the matter of organization to
uphold prices. The sisal hemp growers
met at Merida, Yucatan, on November
8, and organized a stock company to be
known as the corporation of sisal hemp
growers. Growers will make deliveries
direct to them. Heavy penalties are
provided for breaking the agreement,
which is to last for five years.
In the trade there is little doubt that
the growers will be able to carry out
their plans, as the state of Yucatan, to
all intents and purposes, has a monop-
oily of the production of sisal hemp.
The annual production amounts to
about 100000 bales of $50 pounds
each. The present market price is Il
annually produced the International
Harvester company uses 250,000 bales.
The rest is used by various concerns in
from 5000 to $4,000 lots. 1t is under
stood that it will take about $12,000,-
900 to finance the new sisal hemp trust
and that this money has been provided

NOT HIS FAULT.
Bryan Says Roosevelt Is Not to
Blame for Panic

Lafayette, Ind, Nov. 19.-William
J. Bryan, who spoke here at a BAN
quet before $500 persons, said that
after serving in two campaigns he did
not feel like volunteering again, al
though he would accept the presiden-
tial nomination in 1908 If drafted" :"
He said he was glad that the unpre-
cedented discovery of gold had taken
the money question out of politics.
But 1 want you to know" said the
speaker, that our arguments on the
money question advanced in 1896,
have been vindicated not by the Re-
publican party, but because God AL
mighty took pity on the poor people
of the world and opened up to them
vast storehouses of goid.''
Mr. Bryan denounced tariff revision
as proposed by the Republicans and
accused the Republican party Of bad
faith in promising revision. THE de-
lay of a single year means much to
the people of this country and they
are being defrauded out of hundreds
of millions of dollars in the mean
time. The people are ready to let
the Democrats reform the tariff" as
serted Mr.. Bryan
I'VE are in the midst of financial
stringency that is in some respects
more acute than that OF 1873. I am
not going to blame the president or a
Republican administration, but I
know who would be blamed, if were
president. If I were president, every
cross roads Republican would be
blaming me. The panic of 1873 came
twelve years after they took power
and II years before they surrendered
power to the Democrats. I'm not go
ing to blame the7 president because
do not think blame should be laid at
his door. I'm going to, do him the
Justice to say 1 won't join the chorus
of eastern financiers who want to
make him the scapegoat. Those who
violate the law should be blamed, not
those who have turned on the light
recently.
There is no excuse for the people
to be afraid that their banks are not
solvent What is the cause of this
panic? The president is not to blame.
Who is to blame? The Republican

FOR BETTER CITIES.
Joint Meeting of Municipal League and
Civic Association.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 19-One of the
most noteworthy gatherings in the in
terest of the science of city government
ever held in America convened in this
city today for the annual meetings of
the national municipal league and the
American Civic association, which this
year for the first time are held jointly.
The sessions are being held in the halls
of Brown university and will continue
until Friday.
The National Municipal league is
holding its thirteenth annual gathering

ton this weeks sessions are the third
annual convention and also comprise
the fifteenth national conference for
good city government. All the reform
organizations of the larger cities of the
country are represented at the sessions,
more than 200 delegates being present.
Attorney General Bonaparte is presi-
dent of the league, while the president
of the American Civic association is j.
Horace Mcfarland of Harrisburg, Pa
The objects of the two bodies while
harmonizing are distinct. The National
Municipal league looks principally to
promoting capable, honest civic admin
istration; the American Civic associa-
tion strives to better living conditions,
through advocating parks, recreat1ng
centers and libraries and by the abate-
ment of public nuisance.
The first session, a joint affair, was
arranged to be called to order at p.
m. in Manning hall, with Attorney
General Bonaparte in the chair. This
meeting will be devoted principally to
addresses of welcome and responses.
At the evening session at Sailse hall.
Niagara" will be the topic of discus
sion, the various addresses being illus
trated with steropticon views. A smoker
at the Art club was to be the conclud-
ing feature of the first day.

DICK JoHNsoN's HooDoo
Little Restaurant Man Can't Keen Out
of Its Influence.


Dick Johnson. the good natured
little lunch foundry proprietor is
again in trouble, through no fault of
his own. Recently Dick was arrested
on a chrge of selling liquor, but was
found not guilty. Since that time the
police have been laying for him.
Last night, while Johnson was busily
engaged in manufacturing an oyster
stew, two large husky customers came
in, each toting a bottle Of beer
wrapped in a newspaper.
'Hey, youse, beat it out of here with
that brew yelled Johnson from the
kitchen door. "That is a hoodoo to

Alas the conversation had hardly
ended when three policemen sailed in
under full canvas and punched john

from the thirsty customers, nOtwith-
standing their objections, and the
brew will be used as evidence against

Lets the Company OF.

In a hearing held Monday afternoon
in the United States district court,
Judge John G. Pollock refused to hold
a corporation, whose charter expired,
as a bankrupt If the alleged act of
bankruptcy was committed after the
expiration of the charter. Attorneys
representing certain creditors endeav-
ored to claim that though the charter
had expired the Atchison Live Stock
company was still maintaining de facto
a corporate existence. The Atchison
Live Stock company ceased to exist in
1905 when the life of the charter ter
minated and the bankruptcy petition
was based on debts contracted in the
name of the officers in 1906.

BANK TO RESUME.
One of New York's Suspended Institu-
| tions Will Reopen.

New York, Nov. 19.-The Twelfth
Ward bank one of the institutions
which suspended payment during the
early days of the financial crisis will
reopen tomorrow. The premium on
currency which has been maintained at
about per cent since the boarding of
money began a few weeks ago has be-
gun to diminish. Loans of currency
were made today at rates ranging as
low as 1k per cent.
Bankers reported that the premium
in a number of interior cities was much
reduced or had disappeared. The action
was attributed chiefly to the arrange
ment for issuing treasury certificates
and canal bonds.
