York in wearing mems clothes. For

She could better earn her living.
The woman, who is well educated and
about 50 years old, was a steerage pas
senger on the liner New York, which
arrived here Saturday. Today when

Woodruff, and called the attention of
hospital doctors to her. At this the
woman said:
Gentlemen, viii tell you the truth:

following account of her life:

BRYAN CHANGES PLANS
Nebraskan Will Devote More
Attention to State of Iowa

LINCOLN. Oct. 4-In order to devote
still further attention to the state of
Iowa w. j. Bryan tonight announced
change in his plans in connection
with his trip to Chicago, where on the
night of October he is to meet Judge
Taft at a banquet.
Instead of leaving here Tuesday af-
ternoon and going direct to Chicago,
as had been arranged. Bryan will start
tomorrow night for Des Moines. from
which point he will on Tuesday pro-
ceed to Perry, Tamma and Cedar Rap
ids and deliver set speeches. while from
the rear platform of the train en- route
he probably will make several talks.
Although it has not been definitely
settled it is now planned that Bryan
shall speak in st. Louis Friday evening
and then re- enter Kansas on Saturday
for a full day in that state, returning
to Lincoln Sunday. 1t also is likely
that before making his final trip into
the middle west and the east he will
spend day or so campaigning in his
home state.
Bryan will go out to Havelock, where
are located the shops of the Burlington
railroad, tomorrow evening and address
the laboring men. Taft a few days
ago spoke at the same place.

PRESIDENT TO TAKE
STUMP FOR TAFT
Six Speeches to Be Delivered
According to Story That
Reaches Bryan
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LINCOLN, Oct. 4-Theodore Roose-
velt is to take the stump for Taft and
make six speeches in the doubtful ter
ritory from New York to San Fran
cisco. beginning the middle of next
week, according to a story which
reached w. ]. Bryan from the east to-
day and which is regarded as absolute
ly authoritative.
Plans for the six speeches have al
ready been made, the dates and places
selected and the announcement of them
is only delayed until what Chairman
Hitchcock and the president regard as
the psychological moment arrives. The
completion of the final details for the
meetings is understood to be the object
of the meeting between Chairman
Hitchcock and President Roosevelt.
The cities which are said to have
been selected for the presidents s
speeches are Indianapolis, Des Moines,
Omaha, New York, Denver and San
Francisco.
Though the plans, it is said, call for
only these six speeches, it is expected
that many others will be crowded in,
and that before the president has been
on the road "a hours his trip will have
become a regular train and campaign
ing tour, just like those Bryan and
Taft are making.
Though Bryan refused to discuss the
report regarding President Roosevelt
it can be said that he believes it is true
and is conducting himself accordingly.
He fully believes that before the cam
paign is 10 days older he Will have to
contend with the effect of the presi-
dents presence on the stump.

local welcoming committee. consist
ing of Senator William Warner, Repre-

man w. S. Dickey. They escorted him
to the Baltimore hotel, where a pri-
vate breakfast party occupied an hour
or more, and demands of local poll

sumed the time until the church hour.
An automobile ride over the numer
Gus boulevards, of which Kansas City is
proud was taken, after which the real
work of the day for the tired cam

ago consented to talk of the work of
the Young Mems Christian association

pendence avenue Methodist Episcopal
church. The audience completely hlled
the church. Taft delivered the same
speech he made last Sunday to a SINH
lar audience in st. Paul. He gave his
strongest Endorsement to the work the
association is doing, particularly in the
Philippine islands, the orient and Pana-
ma, to say nothing of the work in this
country He made no reference in any
manner to politics.
When the outdoor meeting had also
been addressed. Taft was informed by a
committee that a large meeting Of
negro men and women were waiting to
hear him,
AS Taft put it. when he stood before
the negro audience: I'm just looking
in on you moment as / go by
He then told his hearers that, he was
friend of the race, had always been
one and had strong beliefs regarding
their condition and future. They faced.

must solve. He believed the negroes

problem and solve it right.
