POINTED QUESTION
Union Labor Man Asks Peerless

Candidate Refuses to Make Di-
rect Answer to Persistent
interrogation

CARNEGIE HALL. NEW YORK,
Sept. 1S.-Democracy's presidential
campaign in greater New York had its
advent tonight when William j. Bryan.
at mass meeting under the auspices
Of Tammany Hall, spoke before en-
thusiastic thousands who filed Car
negie hall and overfiowed into the
streets. The ovation accorded TO the
candidate was a brilliant climax TO a
day in which a united party gave
Bryan a continuous reception.
Bryan spoke for more than an hour
on Republican Tendencies al Carnegie
hall. On his arrival here today he spoke
at monday meeting and during the
afternoon held constant levees at his
hotel, where democratic leaders in the
city and state called upon MIN.
On approaching Carnegie hall he was
given an ovation by a crowd OF 10000
or more persons who could not get into
the hail. The candidate was taken to
a nag draped cart and from 1t he made
a brief speech. He said
Let me call your attention to the marked
difference between the republican platform aud
ours. The republican platform Is different cS-
peciaily in not outlining necessary legislation
Our platform tells the public what We think
ought to be done. We take the people into our
confidence and thus We show not only our faith
In the merits OF our policies, but also in the
intelligence Of the voters.
Now there are four propositions as to labor
for which we stand.
FfrstNwe believe that there should be de-
partment Of labor with cabinet officer at is
head.
second-we believe that labor should be taken
out of the operation OF the trust law.
Third-we believe that industrial dispute
should not be sufficient cause for the issuance
Of Injunction.
fourth-we believe in trials by jury in cases
OF Indirect contempt.
A man who claimed to be a union
iron worker here attracted the atten-
tion of Mr. Bryan and asked him IL
II we're true that he had used the ex-
preston that workmen were lot of
beggars when he was in congress
II speak as a representative Of or
ganized labor" the man added
no you do not" shouted Bryan. My
record Is well enough known so that
no representative OF organized labor
would have to ask me such a question"
Did you or did you not use that ex-
pression?" insisted the man.
Bryan answered:
II shall not undertake now or at any
other time to answer any and every
statement that may be made by those
who are trying to help the republican
party until they get an Endorsement
from the republican party or its rep
resentatives.'
Bryan then left the cart and went
into Carnegie hall. When Secretary
Smith of Tammany Hall called the
! mass meeting to order every seat was
filled. Chairman Herman Ridder spoke
on tariff reform.
While Congressman Sulzer was
speaking Bryan and his party stepped
upon the stage. Men leaped to their
chairs and yelled and shouted while the
band played lively tunes.

SAN DIEGO, Sept 1S.-Four deaths
have already resulted from the care
iessness OF Mary Arthur. 10 year old
nurse at the county hospital, and four
others are seriously i'll. though their
illness is not expected TO be fatal The
dead are:

HENRY c. SHUETTE.
AUGUST FISLER
Captain A. Paulsen, B. Tisler, George
King and Mr. Penny are seriously i'll.
All were taken sick yesterday after
noon. and the evidence Of poison was
so great that an investigation was
started ending finally in a confession
by Miss Arthgr that she had neglected

was a quantity Of atropine, and that
these patients had got hold of il with
their medicine. She realized her mis-
take as soon as they became ILL., but
did not confess her error until the in

almost to her. Young died about mid
night, Kemp early this morning and
Shuette about S o'clock today.

manner in which the poisoning occurred
is thus explained in the statement made
by Miss Mary Arthur, the nurse:
An atropine solution had been made
yesterday morning by Miss Arthur This
solution was used TO dilate the eyes OF
one of the patients. Shortly after max
ing the solution Miss Arthur left the
ward in response to a call to assist in
an operation. She left the solution in
a water pitcher. It is supposed that
some one came through the ward. and
noticing that there was not much water
in the pitcher, filled it up. When Mis-.
Arthur returned to the ward she
thought the solution had been thrown
away and that the pitcher had beer
filled with clean water. Several of the
patients. laboring under the impression
that the pitcher contained pure water
poured themselves drinks Miss Arthur
used the water from the pitcher in ad-
ministering the medicine to several
patients and also gave some Of the
patients drinks from the pitcher

SERVES ANOTHER TERM.

w. C. Maybury, former mayor. de-
MES emphatically that he has any In

used as a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for mayor this fall
against Mayor Thompson.
while 1t is most gratifying to know
that my friends think SO well OF me,
| could not think OF becoming can
didate." says Mr.. Maybury. Under
party usage. Mayor Thompson is en-
titled to a second nomination. He
has served one term and has right
to let the people pronounce their yer
diet on his administration when he
appeals to them by coming forward
as a candidate for denomination"
A number OF w. G. Maybury's
friends have been very anxious to get
his consent to the use of his name, as
they feel that he would be a strong
candidate. His refusal closes the mat
ter, however, as 1t would be necessary
to have his signature under the prim
airy system unless nomination by pc
tition were resorted TO, and this latter
procedure Is not probable in the light
OF his refusal.
1t is an interesting fact that Will
lam b. Thompson was one of the com
mittee that waited upon Maybury IL
years ago and persuaded him to run
for the office. Thompson had pre-.
viously declined the nomination.
