when Two fellows came up to us, and
one of them pulls my skirt. Then it

But oh, judge, 1 wouldn't repeat the

"Then the guy hat was with him

TO ASK BRYAN TO SAVE
PARTY BY WITHDRAWING.

NEW YORK. July 2.-"I am going to
stop off at Lincoln and tell Bryan that
If he has any regard for the welfare of
the Democratic party he ought to with
draw his name as a candidate for the
presidential nomination. l don't believe
that Bryan can win next November If
he runs, and l am confident that he
cannot carry New York State. If the
Democratic party Is to, have any chance
of success his year the Denver con
vention must nominate a conservative
candidate and adopt a conservative
platform.
81 think hat Bryan ought to have
some plain truths told to him and,
as no one else seems inclined to tell
him that he ought to step out of the
running, I intend to stop at Lincoln
and tell him so myself. even If I get
thrown out of the house for my
temerity."
This statement was made by Herman
Ridder just before he boarded the
Twentieth Century Limited on his way
to the Denver convention. Mr.. Ridder
amplified his remarks by adding that
Bryan was a ~played-out candidate and
that he la no chance of election for
the reason that no matter how far he
might seem to lean this year toward
conservative principles he would still
be regarded by the average individual
as a radical and an upholder of radical
policies.

BOY TELLS HOW
He WAS USED BY
JEWEL ROBBER
Little Benny TankOOs Tricked
by BOarder Parents Befriended.
x Charles Meyers Is Held.

Seven-year-ofd Benny Tankoos, of 81
Gray street. today told how he had
been made the unwilling assistant of a
thief in his work. Benjamin is a bright
little fellow and stealing you'd be the
last thing he would think of.
Samuel Tankoos, his father. had a
boarder, Charles Meyers, who had been
out of work a Ions time. but he was
permitted to continue-withsthe Tankoos
household.
Tankoos and his wife left the house
for the day., locking the doors. In the
afternoon Meyers returned and found
the hoy also waiting to get in. Meyers
opened a side window and induced the
boy to climb through and open a door.
BENJAMIN thereby let Meyers in. but
did not watch him.
Two days ago Mrs. TanlSoos had occa-
sion to go to a trunk in which she had
hidden her jewelry and discovered n a
1t was zone.
Movers professed to be greatly sur
iprised over the theft and insisted on
going to the police station and report
ing the robbery. Plainclotlfesmen Con-
lin and Manager went to the house ana
in questioning the members OF the ram
lily little Benjamin recalled having
opened the door for Meyers. About that
time Meyers disappeared.
The police found him in another part
of the city and recognized him as hav-
ing served a term. a little over a year
ago, in the ~reformatory at Railway.
Meyers confessed that when Benjamin
let him into the house he had gone 10
the trunk and had stolen two gold
watches. a pin set with seven diamonds.
a diamond ring and a silver watch
These he had pawned, he said, and had
then sold the ickets.
In the Second Precinct Court today
he repeated his confession and was held
in default of 81. 900 bail for the grand
jury.
Little Benjamin retold how he had let
Meyers in, but he was very certain that
he did not know hat Meyers intended
to pillage the house.

AGAINST. SALE

Bachelor Does Not Believe They
Could Be Disposed OF
AdvantageOusly.

The Common Council committee on
finance was today advised by Comp
troller j. Helry Bachelor that the
money market is now in such a condi-
ton that the credit of the city might
suffer a severe blow If an effort were
made to dispose of the contemplated
SO, 900, 900 in long term bonds.
Mr.. Bachelor said that he did not be-
lieve the city could dispose of its 4
per cent. bonds at this time to dvan-
tage and suggested that the city wait
a few weeks, when he believed the
financial situation would improve and
the market would take the issue.
Of these bonds 81. $50, 900 are for the
purchase of property and the. erection
of new school buildings. $1,000 900 for
school administration and half a million
dollars for other purposes.

Chief of Police Corhitt today issued
Instructions to all police captains in the

and t%opedoes on trolley tracks. In
spite of the ordinance which prohibits
the sale of fireworks at retail to minors

SULZER WANTS PLANK
FOR AMERICAN SHIPPING.

LINCOLN, July "A driving rain
pounding into w. J. Brayan's alfalfa
field and turning to mud the road which
leads from the street a line to the
Fairview driveway, was a matter of
regret to the Democratic presidential
candidate this morning.
This is bad for visitors" said Mr..
Bryan, as he surveyed the dismal scene.
One of Mr.. Bryan's earliest visitors
was Congressman William Sulzer, of
New York. Mr.. Sulzer, announcing
himself in thorough accord with the
political views of Mr.. Bryan, came to
Fairview to talk platform inc New
York politics. He is particularly inter-
ested in having the platform declare for
his scheme of building up American
shipping by a tax which shall discrimi-
nate against foreign bottoms.

Monnett Gives Keynote.
The committee on resolutions will
hear from them, and if it turns them
down the convention will hear from
them for they declare that their radi-
calism Is the foundation stone upon
which Bryan's candidacy rests.
What is regarded as the very latest
indication that Mr.. Bryan does not
contemplate changing his position on
the injunction question to meet the
ideas of the conservatives was brought
to town by Frank S. Monnett, Repub-
lican Attorney General of Ohio from
1896 to 1900. Mr.. Monnett was in con-
ference with Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln, as
the result of which he say he will
have Mr.. Bryan's Endorsement in ap-
pearing before the resolution commit
tee of the convention to state the legal
and political reasons why the injunction
plank should pledge the Democratic
party to an mendmen of the law in
these three particulars:
First, to prevent the issuing of the
writ in industrial disputes except after
io1iS ~ aAia III Ai(bl Ills .
second, to permit trial before a Judge
other than the one who issued the
writ, and, third, to allow a jury to be
summoned in all cases where the legal
contempt Is committed outside the prov
ince of the court.
Cites Mining Vote.
That Mr.. Bryan has heretofore taken
his stand on an injunction plank con-
tanning these elements is the statement
of Mr.. Monnett, and the fact that Mr..
Bryan requested Mr.. Monnett to urge
their acceptance by the resolutions COM
mittee is taken by the Ohioan to mean
that Mr.. Bryan will be satisfied with
nothing less.
Having recently been the legislative
attorney in Ohio for the Brotherhood of
Railway Conductors, Engineers and
Firemen, as well as having close con-
tact with labor views through mis- legal
connection with the miners and brick
makers in the Hooking Valley strike
of last February, Mr.. Monnett said that
he informed Mr.. Bryan that Roose-
velt's 100000 majority from the indus
trial centres In Ohio, and 500, 900 in
Pennsylvania was given because labor
believed President Roosevelt was still
with them, particularly on the injunc-
ton demanded.
"This Independent vote" as Mr.. Mon
nett named 1t, would, he said, surely go
to an Independent candidate should he
be put in the field, in the event the
Democratic party failed to pledge itself
in positive language on this question.
