HEARST HIT HARD
National Csmmllteemsa Merrill VIII Have Nelhlps 10 Do
 Win Bin.

Kansas City. Oct. 2s.-J. L. Mer- Till of this city. national committee man from Missouri of the Indepen' dent party, resigned that position to-day, in letter forwarded to Will liam R. Hearst. In the letter he wrote as follows:
 'T don otw ish to have my name connected with any party or person, who purchased, or otherwise obtain ed correspondence, stolen by other persons for publication to the detri- mept or downfall of other persons. for the upbuilding of yourself or the Independent party. I also wish not to have my name connected with a party whose affiliations are so closely connected with other parties, and whose only aim is to help de- feat Bryan. Taft wanted Foraker put out of business and you played the part of the remover and with a grand stand play to keep up appear ances, went ofter Haskell with no proof of guilt, to down Bryan. In my belief the Independent party se- cures its campaign money from re- publican sources. The Independent party has not kept it's promises and Bryan and Standard Oil have been it's campaign issues"

Captain Patton says that the battleships are more than 200 miles away and will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon.
 The foreign consuls located here yesterday exchanged official calls with Prince Tu Lang who is here as one of the officials delegated by the Peking government to receive the American fleet. The prince will to- day move his residence to the recep- tion hall where the American admir- al and the officers of the fleet will be entertained. Viceroy Song, fearing the revolutionists who have made many threats, has returned aboard the cruiser Hai-Yung, where he will remain during the reception.

HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Bankers Leg Is Keeping Surgeons
 Worried.

New York. Oct. 29.--It was learned that 1t had been found necessary to perform second operation on B. R. Thomas, the banker, and that this op- eration took place in Roosevelt hos pital, where Mir. Thomas has been since his removal from the Monmouth Memorial hospital at Long Branch, N. J., to which he was taken after he was injured, in an automobile accident on Aug. IA last.
 The prognosis as to his ultimate re- covery is said to be not so favorable as it was few weeks ago.
 The first operation was performed on Aug %, and until few days ago MT. Thomas was apparently making satisfactory progress. Symptoms which then developed, however, indi- cated the necessity for further op- eration.
 It was found necessary to remove a piece of bone from. the patients fractured knee joint and to take fresh precautions against the possibility of blood poisoning. e*

D. B. HILL PRESENTS BRYAN.
Former Senator's First Political
 Speech in Years.

Albany. NY. Oct. 29.-Former Unit. ed States Senator David B. Hill made his first political speech of years in introducing William J. Bryan to an i'm mense crowd here.
 Although not connected with poli- tics," he said, T reiterate that am heartily in favor of the election of the Democratic national and state tickets. I am not so partisan, however, that l would support the party whether right or wrong, but permit me to say that I support the national ticket in this cam paign because in my judgment our presidential candidate, who honors us with his presence here, is absolutely right upon every contested question in this campaign I am for him because I sincerely believe that the best inter. ests of the country will be subserved by his election. It is time for change in the administration of the govern ment, change of measures and of men. Our candidate owes the nomina- tion not to any one man or any set of men, but only to the people them selves. If elected he will be the presi dent himself and not a dummy for any man. He will not be led around with a string like great big caged bear"
 The Democratic candidate got an ovation as he arose to speak. He was cheered to the echo, and the large au- dience reluctantly obeyed the waving of his hand to them to become quiet. As he had done at Schenectady and other places, he laid stress on the plank in the Democratic platform pro- viding for publicity of campaign con tributions before election.

Los Angeles, Oct 29.-Captain A. E. Mueller and Captain Horace B. Wild, who are to sail the two big balloons United States and America in the race across the continent which is being arranged in Los Angeles are preparing to make their first flight Sunday in this city. Both aeronauts are enthusiastic over the prospects of the flight. Captain Mueller believes there is an upper current sweeping in down the coast which take the bal looms into San Diego country, thence towards the Gulf of Mexico and then up the Mississippi valley and then northeastward. Captain Wild be- lieves, however, that the balloons will cross the first range of noun tains and then sweep up the Salt Lake basin and then northeasterly into Canada.

BIG BET ON ROBERTSON.
$1.000 Even Placed on His Chances
 Against Congressman Lilley.

New Haven, Oct 29.--While the in- terest in the coming election for gov- ernor of the state is about as keen as it has been for years, sympathizers of both Judge A. Heaton Robertson and George L. Lilley have not, up to last night, backed their opinions with anything more than talk. Last night however, one large bet was made in a local cafe. It was for $1,000 even that Judge Robertson would be elect ed. Several small bets have, of course been placed, with odds slightly in fa- vor of Congressman Lilley, but none of these was anywhere near the size of the one made last night.
 It is understood that there is an- other $1,000 in cafe in the center of the town to be placed on Judge Robertson, but so far there have been no takers. The fact that the money was up was telephoned to Wa terbury, the home town of the repub- lican candidate for the office, yester- day afternoon but no one could be found in the Brass city who wanted to take the Lilley end.

DILLON NOT GUILTY
EvIdsnee All b. Argunesls ua6e and the Jury Retired q
 Two o'eIsck.

The case of the state against John Dillon the trolley conductor charged with causing the death of Walter Hayes by neglect of duty on the morning of November 29 last, went to the jury in the superior court at 2 o'clock to-day. The entire morning was taken up with the arguments of counsel and Judge Bennett's charge. Dillon testified that when he saw the train approaching the crossing on West Main street where the accident occurred he did all he could to warn the engineer by flashing his red lan- tern signalling the train to stop. One or two witnesses testified that when they were within fifty or sixty feet of the crossing they saw the last cars of the Watertown train which had just reached the depot but did not see Dillon at all.
 After being out an hour and a half the jury reported a verdict of not guilty. This decision disposes of the case of John Flavin who was one of the crew of the car.

MORSE AND CURTIS
Story ef Inc Men Who Were
 Sent 10 Wall ia Early Dsys of Panic.

New York, Oct 29.-Charles w. Morse, the promoter and financier, whose one time great fortune was swallowed up in the crash one year ago, and who, with Alfred Curtis, former president of the National Bank of North America, now is on trial, on a charge of violation Of the national banking law, may go on the witness stand in his own defense to- day. Curtis already has told the main portion of his story and in many instances sought to place the responsibility for bad loans upon Morse. Unless his testimony is markedly altered as a result of the questioning which had assumed the nature of cross-examination when court adjourned last night by coun. sel for Morse, the one time "ice king'' will have a serious task before him when he goes on the stand as a wit ness in his own behalf. Curtis had sworn that Morse was the real con- trolling force in the institution; that he as president had protested to Morse against certain acts which he believed had endangered the bank s stability, and that he himself had never made dollar beyond his sal ary as president of the bank through any of the operations in connection with the institution.
 It was expected that Curtis would be subjected to exhaustive question: ing to-day both by counsel for Morse and the attorneys for the govern ment, but there was possibility that this might be completed and Morse called to the stand before adjourn ment tonight.

PICKPoCKET ON TRAIL.
Buys His Freedom After Returning
 Loot.

Portchester, N, Y..- Oct. 29-By sur rendering $400 of pocket picked money, leaving him after he had paid his law. yer $50, net profit of $54 on his days work, Eddie Fritz, 'The Owl." who halls from "The" McManus' district, New York city, escaped from the clutches of the law by one of the most daring propositions ever aired in a court of justice.
 It seems 1t was Fritz who under the alias t0f Harry Schultz was arrested here during the Taft Bryan demonstra- ticn, when q dozen and more persons had their pockets picked and the Com noner himself was jostled and nearly lost his watch and cash.
 A brother of "The" McManus, accom-. panied by Frederick Richter, Tam many alderman in McManus' bailiwick, hustled up to Portchester and arrang- ed, 1t is said, for 'The Owls" defense on the charge of pocket picking. The police tallied up the losses of those who had suffered through the opera tions of light fingers and found they totaled $400. A search of Fritz brought to light $554.
 A proposition was then made by Fritz and his friends that he return $400 to the victims and let 1t go at that.
 Judge Wilcox, before whom "The Owr' was arraigned, demurred to this novel scheme for giving the accused pickpocket his liberty. 'The Owls friends were persistent. They pointed out the fiimsyi nature of the evidence against the prisoner. Fifteen Taft and Bryan enthusiasts had missed $400, twas true, but none of them had actu, ally seen the. ingenious Fritz abstract the money.
 The losers were clamoring for their money. Fritz's friends assured them the only way for them to be reunited to their funds was to drop the chargen of pocket picking.
 Be sensible. Give us back The Owl and we'll give you back your money" pleaded Fritz's friends. This argument finally had its effect. "The Owl" counted $400. which was dis tributed among the victims. The only charge pressed against Fritz was one of disorderly conduct. Judge Wilcox could then do nothing but impose a fine. He made 1t $50.
 'The 0wl' chuckled. paid the fine. shelled out $50 to his lawyer and stuff ed the remaining $54. his days profit, into his pocket.
 'The Owl" cautiously took receipt for the $400 from the victims and left Portchester for New York.
