ELK|NS DECLARES
DAUGHTER IS NOT

Referring to Alleged Interview
Says, impossible to Deny
What Doesn't Exist"

PITTSBURG, oct. 12.-In an authori-
tative statement to the Associated
Press today. United States Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia.
branded as untrue an alleged interview
accredited to his wife to the effect that
there was no engagement between Miss
katherine Ellsins and the Duke of
Abruzzi. In an emphatic manner Sena-
tor Elkins said that neither his wife nor
himself could give such interview for
the simple reason that it was impos-
sible to deny something that did not
exist
Senator Ellslns talked to the Asso-
ciated Press over the long distance
telephone from Elkins, w. Va, and
was much exercised over the numerous
wild reports, published from time to
time, concerning the alleged engage
ment of his daughter TO the Italian
nobleman.

reports" he said Neither in Europe
nor America has any announcement OF
an engagement been made. There IL

more than fifteen minutes, leaving at
11:20 and arriving in Plainfleld at 11:35.

GIRL IN FLAMES
MAY DIE, RESCUER
PAINFULLY BURNED
Thought That Christina Boyer

Christina Boyer, a maid in the home
of Frederick Jay, a well-known law

burned there today. and Mr.. Jay, in
fighting the flames on her, was himself
scorched.
The origin of the fire was not ex-
planned, but the flremen who were
called believed that the maid had at

coal oil.

they heard the maids screams, and

After his hands had been blistered in a
vain effort to whip out the flames Mr..
Jay threw the girl to the floor and then
wrapped her in large rug taken from
the dining-room floor, thus smothering
the blaze.
Mrs. Jay first ministered to the girl
and then called a doctor and had Miss
Boyer put TO bed, refusing to let her be

BRYAN LIKELY To-
SPEAK HERE ON
OCT. rs OR q
Speech Probably Will Follow
Madison Square Garden
Address.

William j. Bryan will likely speak in
New Jersey, probably this city. on
October 20 or,27. Strenuous efforts have
been made by State Chairman James r.
Nugent to have the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate here, but his dates SO
far have been taken UP In other terri
tory and it has been impossible to Sc
cure a positive date.
Bryan will be in New York on Octo-
ber 26. when he is to speak In Madison
Square Garden. He is slated to speak
In Brooklyn the next evening. After
that he will go through upper New
York, and on October 81 will be in Chi
cago. The only opportunity to get him
into this State will be during the day
time of October 20 or q. and efforts will
be made to induce him to, come. ,
Secretary William X. Devereux, OF
the Democratic State Committee, said
today that the prospects for carrying
the State for Bryan were bright, and
that they would be bettered by the
presence of Mr.. Bryan for even one
talk.
1.-The reports to the State committee"
he said, have been very good during
the last week, and we think we will
be able by the end of the month to
claim the state by good majority.
1--WE have had men making canvass
of conditions all through the State, and
the discomfort with Republican mfsrule
is widespread. There are $4,000 men or
more in the State out of work as the
result of the panic during the last year,
and nine out of ten of these will vote
for Bryan.
"The bottoms are out of their dinner
nails and the Republican party is not
filling them this year. They filled them
with promises four years ago, but
the promises are not filling their
stomachs now. and they realize that
panics can be of undoubted Republican
origin.
"Our canvassers have talked with
these thousands. OF course. not being
in factories now, they cannot be CO.

want them to, as when they were en-
ployed.

deserted Bryan who are going to vote
for him this year. and there are thou

Something must be said or done to

agitation to the horror of her capture
He dreaded a complete collapse if any
further alarms were threatened at once
Yet he was almost positive-though
search alone would set at rest the last
misgiving-that only one sampan had
visited the island. Evidently the Dyaks
were unprepared as he for the events
of the preceding half-hour. They were
either visiting the island to procure
turtle and beche-de-mer or had merely
called there en- route to some other DIES
tination, and the change in the wind
had Unexpectedly compelled them to put
ashore. Beyond all doubt they must
have been surprised by the warmth of
the reception they encountered.

sea would fail to reveal them beyond
distance of six or seven miles at the

After landing in the hidden bay on
the south side, they crossed the island
through the trees instead of taking the
more natural open way along the beach.
Why? The fact that he and Iris were
then passing the grown-over tract lead
ing TO the Valley of Death instantly de-
termined this point. The Dyaks knew
of this affrighting hollow. and would not
approach any nearer to it than was I'M
avoidable. Could he twist this circum-
