SPEED LAWS OF 1916.
Coaches Going Nine Miles an Hour
Frightened the English.

FRIGHTENED the EnSliSh.
The cutlery daily growing louder in
England against the excessive speed of
motor cars lends interest to the fol-
lowing passage from the Annual Regis
ter for 1916:
A new coach was started in the
spring to run to Brighton, a distance
of fiftytwo miles, In six hours. =
This, however, became alarming, par
of Newington, through which it passed,
and the parish officers there caused in
formation to be laid against the driv-
ers for driving furiously on the public
road so as to endanger the lives of his
majesty's subjects.
The result Of this is to be read in
Mansard's parliamentary Reports"
June 10, 1916
The attorney general moved for
leave to bring in a bill the object of
which was the protection of the lives
and limbs Of his majesty's subjects by
correcting the enormous abuses of
stagecoach drivers. Within these few
days it would be hardly credible what
a number of applications he had re-
ceived on this subject.
Some accounts were enough to freeze
one with horror. A gentleman Of We
racity had Informed him that on Tues
day, May 81, at $50, the Trafalgar
and Regulator coaches set off from
Manchester and got to Liverpool at
$40, doing this journay in two hours
fifty minutes, at the rate Of twelve
miles an hour.-New York Sun.

MAGIC GLASS.
4 Curious Mirror That May 30 Made
TRANSPARENT.

4 Curious Mirror That May es Made
Transparent.
One of the most curious inventions
Of this age is what is called platinized
glass. A piece of glass is coated with
an exceedingly thin layer Of a liquid
charged With platinum and then raised
to red heat. The platinum becomes
united to the glass In such a way as
to form an odd kind Of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency, and yet II one places it
against a wall and looks at 1t he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass. But when light Is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side, AZ when It 10 placed In q window,
it appears perfectly transparent, like
ordinary glass.
BY constructing window Of plati-
nized glass one could stand close be-
hind the panes in an authenticated
room and behold clearly everything
going on outside, while passersby look
ing at the window would behold only
a fine mirror or set of mirrors in which
their own figures would be reflected,
while the person inside remained in
visible.
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the aid of this glass.
In one aoperson, seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror, approaches
it to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back,
whereupon it instantly becomes trans
parent, and the startled spectator finds
himself confronted by some grotesque
figure that had been hidden behind the
magic glass.--New York Tribune.

 that time the factory has been closed down. the machinery moved out and wrecking crews are now dismantling the buildings. Insulting banners were car ried in a republican parade at that time and tonight Mr. Bryan made the above offer, leaving the money with the chair man of the meeting. His speech in re- gard to this subject follows:
 Tn coming to Nebraska City I cannot but notice the difference between the re- ception accorded me now and that which l received eight years ago when 1 came as a candidate At that time you had a. branch of the starch trust here and your people were very much agitated. The attorney general was endeavorng to enforce the Nebraska law against the trusts. It was even intimated that vio- lence might be attempted if l came here. T came here and warned you against the iniquities of the trust.
 T told you that when you allowed the ownership of your starch factory to pass out of the hands of your people into the hands of a trust that you had slo assur- ances of retaining the industry. This prediction has been fulfilled in the short time that has elapsed. When I was here said that I would denounce the trust even in the shadow of the starch factory. Where are the republicans who mock declared that the shadow of the starch factory reached across the state? How far does its shadow reach now? The

GRAVES ASSAILS
 BOTH PARTIES
He Says That MT. Hearst Injected All the Ginger In the Present
 Campaign.

Baltimore. October 15.-Wide publi- city having been given the announce ment that William R. Hearst and John Temple Graves would address a meet ing of the independence party, the Princess theatre was packed tonight. A telegram was read from MT. Hearst expressing his regrets. It was learned later that the announcement that he would speak was made by mistake.
 MT. Graves, in his speech, credited MT. Hearst with having injected into this campaign all the interest 1t pos sessed and then severely criticised the democratic and republican parties. He flayed Bryan. the mention of whose name, however. was heartily cheered. | The speaker attacked the democratic vice presidential nominee. declaring Mr. Kern to be the paid representative of a railroad corporation convicted of crim- inality. A man in the gallery was elected for repeatedly shouting: Are Tcu not in the pay of William Randolph TIearst?n
 The election of the questioner was followed by call for cheers for Bryan, which Were given in such manner that MT Graves threatened to appeal to the police to secure him a hearing.

THAW MAY GO TO
 PITTSBURG COURT

New York, October 15.-It was an- nounced here tonight that Harry Thaw migbt go to Pittsburg next Sunday morn ing or soon thereafter to testify in con- nection with the bankruptcy proceeding pending against him in that city. This in- formation was given out after a confer ence held by Dr. Amos Baker, assistant superintendent of the Matteawan Hospital for the Criminal Insane, where Thaw is confined, and Col. Asa Bird Gardiner spe- cial deputy attorney general appointed to take charge of Thaw's case on behalf of the state. The writ issued by the United States court in Pennsylvania, command ing pr. Robert E. Lamb, superintendent of Matteawan hospital, to produce Thaw in Pittsburg was served on Dr. Lamb today, and Dr. Baker his assistant, has tened to New York from Fishkill Land ing, where the hospital is located, to con- sult with Colonel Gardiner about obeying the writ.
 Colonel Gardiner says that the Thaw representatives have promised not to put any obstacle in the way of having Thaw returned to New York in case he appears in Pittsburg, and as this was his main contention against having the prisoner taken there, Colonel Gardiner says he does not see how he can successfully op- pose the new writ.
 T have made all arrangements to go to Pttsburg to argue the case" said Gardiner tonight, "but I cannot tell at this time whether Thaw will so there or not. I wish to discuss the case with At torney General Jackson before taking ac- tion. In Pittsburg l will argue against Thaw being taken to that city, but if I fail to have the writ dismissed Thaw will be telegraphed for"

UNIQUE HIDING PLACE.
Whisky Found In Lining of Coats
 Hanging on Walls.

Another unique storage place for whisky was discovered last night wh en the negro bartender in the soft drink stand at the northwest corner of Twen- ty-sixth street and Third avenue was placed under arrest by deputies for violating the prohibition laws.
 Deputies Newt Curl, E. H. Wilson and Lee Higdon were passing this corner when they saw a suspicious transac- tion in the soft drink stand. A closer investigation satisfied the officers that the law was being violated and they proceeded to arrest the bartender, Sol Harris.
 A search of the place brought to light a large number of ice cold bot ties labeled Cooks beer. while an old coat hanging on the wall behild a dooi contained several flasks of whisky. The lining was torn in the upper part of the coast and the whisky had been dropped in the space between the lining and outside material

PARKER AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Advocates Passage of Corrupt Prac-

Indianapolis, October 15.-The passage by Judge Alton B. Parker to be the rem edy for the high misiemeanors in repuh- lican ranks, in speech here tonight. He of a corrupt practices act was declared declared that the only way to secure the passage of such an act was to elect Bryan and Kern and a democratic Congress.
 "You must elect every democrat that is running in this state," said the speaker, you may need them ail."
 He referred to the democratic pledge for injunction legislation and denied that it would cripple the power of the courts. Contempt, he declared. was an act com mitted in the sight of the court and it was no injustice for the judge to punish it on the spot But to punish a man for contempt of court for violation of an in junction was unjust, because such viola tions were never in sight of the court. Trial by jury in such cases was simple justice, he declared

 The capital of the state, Frankfort, turned out en masse to sec and hear the candidate. He spoke from the steps of the old capitol building. An enthusiast tore three buttons from the candidate vest in endeavorng to shake hands. To his Frankfort audience Judge Taft said in part:

As To New York.

"As to New York, there were many democrats of prominence who thought, after the democratic convention that the democratic party's wise course was to make its fight in the west, because they did not feel that it was possible for Bryan to overcome the tremendous re- publican majority in New York this year.
 "one month ago the general opinion was that New York would go for Taft. Today there isn't republican in Amer ica, not even the manager of the repub- lican campaign in the White House who does not know that New York is on pivot and that it is so doubtful and so close that nobody can tell whether Bryan or Taft will get It's electoral vote
 Tn all the history of politics there has been no change of sentiment within GO days So tremendous and so remark able as the sentiment in favor of Bryan in the Empire state.
 He will spend week there speaking in the city and up the state, and when he has finished that campaign the doubt that now exists about New York will be ended and the 80 electoral votes of New York will be safely in the democratic column.'' w. S.

The growth is so ap- parent that MT Taft had to abandon part of his trip and go back to Ohio and speak there this week and the reports in the real independent papers are that he is having little enthusiasm and that the drift of the labor vote, heretofore large ly republican, is strongly toward MT Bryan. There are other reasons why it is safe to say that Ohio is every day getting stronger for Bryan and will give him it's vote.
