Hearing in Contempt Case Sus.
pended for a Time.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE taking
OF testimony in the contempt proceed
ings against Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison, officers of the Fedora
ton of Labor, came suddenly to a
temporary close. Mr.. Davenport
sought to question Mr. Gompers con-
cerhing editorials printed in the cur
rent September number of the Fedora
Zionist and on the advice of counsel
Mr.. Gompers refused to answer be-
cause the utterances had been made
since the filing of the contempt peti-
ton. A number Of questions bearing
upon this issue were put to the wit
ness and it was agreed that they
should be certified to Justice Gould to
determine whether they were rev.
Client. 1t is probable that they will be
presented to the court on Monday Mr..

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Stories to the ef-

est foundation. The Associated Press
has caused inquiries to be made in
every place that could be expected to

lines originally planned and the pro-

Apparently the story that there is

aeronaut, who fell with Lieutenant
Selfridge in an aeroplane accident, is
making a manly fight for recovery
Through the night there was much

and there was great relief expressed
among those who were watching the

The accident, which resulted in the

quarters in this city and the fact that
he had been in conference with Mr..
Taft in Cincinnati. The truth of the
case is that Senator Crane arrived in
Chicago because he was requested by
Mr.. Hitchcock to meet him here at
this time. The real purpose of the
senator's visit is the financial end of
the campaign work. Senator Crane is
a member of the advisory committee
which was appointed by Chairman
Hitchcock to consider ways and
means.
Funds Coming in Slowly.
Funds for campaign purposes have
been coming in slowly from the West
and Middle West region and Senator
Crane was asked to visit Chicago and
confer with Fred W. Upham, the as
sistant treasurer of the national COM
mittee. At the same time Mr.. Hitch
cock desired to meet him in confer
ence, as he has met him several times
in the past, to consider phases of the
campaign work.
Chairman Hitchcock arrived in Chi
cago at $3.50 a. m. and went to the Au-
ditorium Annex, where he met a num-

agement of the Western campaign
Ever since the campaign opened Mr..
Hitchcock has been confronted with
complaints that there has not been
sufficient activity. These criticisms
have been difficult to meet for the rea-
son, he said, that he cannot take the
public into his confidence concerning
all matters being handled at national
headquarters. 1t has been Mr. Hitch
cocks belief that nothing could be &C
complished by pouring into a state
ammunition directed at the nationa!
campaign when there is conflict going
on in the state over some local issue
that entirely overshad5wed the nation
al issue. Practically all of Mr.. Hitch
cocks advisers agreed that it would
be the proper policy to settle these
state quarrels before opening the ma
tional campaign and it so happened
that it was in the states regarded as
doubtful that these conflicts were be-
ing carried on.
There will be plenty of noise in the
campaign within another week to suit
everybody, Mr.. Hitchcock said. He
refuses to be ruffled by the criticisms

Steel Trust Paying Repub-
icans for Protection.
REPORTERS QUESTION HIN
Reiterates His Statement That the
Giant Corporation Has Not Been
Prosecuted and That No Prominent
Republican Has Said Anything
Against It-Addresses Commercial
Travellers League Of New York City.


New York, Sept. I>.-William J..
Bryan on arrival here proceeded at
once to the Democratic headquarters
IN the Hoffman House. At Jersey City
he was besieged by newspaper men
who wanted him to elaborate his
charge made at Harrington, DEL, and
again at Wilmington that the officials
of the United States Steel corpora
ton were supporting the Republican
party in the campaign.
In reply to the question, "Does your
charge that the Republican party is
protecting the steel trust extend to the
chief executive?" he replied:
II stated what everybody knows
that the steel trust has not been prose-
cuted and that no prominent Repub-
lioan has said anything against it. I
have also said that the steel trust is
supporting the Republican ticket and
that the Republican national Commit
tee will not care to publish before
election the contributions which they
will receive from the officials of the
steel trust. Mr.. Sheldon virtually ad-
mits this in an interview in the New
York Herald. He is the treasurer Of
the Republican national committee
and as I understand it a director Of
constituent corporations of the steel
ic Cd
member of the executive committee or
an officer of the United States Steel
corporation wishes to support the Re-
publican party has he not the same
right as any other individual?'"
Never Endorsed Roosevelt.
Mr.. Bryan said in an interview that
he was satisfied in the event of his
election that no legitimate interest
would be jeopardized or suffer. He
declared that he had never endorsed
Mr.. Roosevelt, but had criticised him
when he thought he was wrong and
commended him when he thought the
president was right and had done this
without waiting to see whether his
actions were popular or not.
"Some Of Mr.. Roosevelt's policies"
said Mr.. Bryan, "are popular in the
West and some are unpopular and the
popular ones are those which have
been borrowed from the Democratic
party"
So large a crowd filled Broadway,
intent on seeing Mr.. Bryan when he
arrived at the rooms of the CONNER
cial Travellers league to deliver a
speech, that the police had difficulty
in forcing a way for the candidates
automobile through the demonstrative
throng.
In his speech Mr.. Bryan first took
up the trust question, which, he said,
was closest to the travelling men, A
complete monopoly, he said, would re-
suit in the complete loss of the travel
ing mans business. A brainy man
would then be unnecessary, son-in-
law would do. The buyer would have
to come to the monopolist to purchase
and the travelling man would not be
needed.
