THOUSANDS VIEW
DUNHAM SUSPECT
Scores Who Knew Murderer Are
Positive Hatfield Is Not
the Fugitive
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN JOSE, Oct. 26.-Three thousand
liam Hatfield, the Dunham suspect, at
the county Jail during the open hours
today, and a score of the visitors who
were personally acquainted with James
c. Durham, the slayer of the Mckinney
family positively stated that the man
in custody was not the fugitive for
whom the peace officers of the country
have been searching for IL years. To
begin with. it was found that Hat
fields features were in no respect those
of Dunham. although the whole face
bore a remarkable likeness to the MUIR
derer's. The nose is not Dunhams,
neither is the forehead nor the eyes,
and the man is of the neglected slug
gish type, known in the south as poor
white trash" In the words of former
Sheriff George Y. Bollinger, he resem-
bles more than anything else tramp
of the rowing sort. SO often seen walk
ing the railroad ties.
/. r. Johnson, a Southern Pacific
conductor, who comes from the neigh
borhood of Clarksville, Tenn, where
the prisoner claims to have been
reared. talked with the man this aft
ernoon, and found that, although his
memory of names and dates was fire.
quently faulty, he had a good knowl-
edge of the section he claimed as his
home, and that he had relatives in
Tennessee.
George Raggio, who was neighbor
of the McGlincey family when the mur-
ders were committed, said positively
that the man under arrest was not Dun
ham, and similar statements were made
by others who knew the murderer
Action by the district attorney and
the sheriff is being delayed until other
persons who knew Dunham have had
an opportunity to visit the county Jail
and see the prisoner. All hope how
ever, that Dunham has been caught has
been dissipated by the visitors today.
Those for whose opinion the officers
are waiting will visit the jail tomorrow
and by night definite action can be
looked for
Hatfield was stripped today by the
deputies at the sheriff's Office and
proved that the birthmark he was al
legged by Deputy United States Marshal
McAfee to carry was not on his body.
The scar on his foot bears no similarity
to that on Dunham's, running across
while Dunham's ran lengthwise up the
instep.
Hatfield, uneducated as he is, wins
the hearts of his visitors by his ready
good nature and his patience under
hostile scrutiny and the other incon-
veniences to which he is subjected. His
clothes were removed two or three
times during the day that the officers
might be certain he had no birthma rx,
and he has been placed directly in front
of a big camera, nude above the hips,
and his photograph taken.

KERN IN INDIANA
Candidate for Vice President At
tacks Claims of Republicans

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26.--On a spe-
cial train John W. Kern, democratic
candidate for vice president, spent the
day campaigning from Indianapolis to
Jeffersonville. He returned to Indian
apolis late tonight and Immediately
went to his home to make ready for his
second days tour, which will take him
to the northeastern part of the state.
Kern's arguments at each stop were
along the same lines He argued that
the republican party was trying to
scare the voters into line by crying
panic. He declared that every unlaw-
full trust in the United States was for
Taft.
Speaking to a large crowd at Green
wood, Ind, Mr.. Kern asserted that con-
ditions under a democratic administra-
tion could not be any worse than they
are at present He said:
IF these republicans can prevent q
panic why do they not stop the one
that is now on? i saw in New York a
few days ago solid square of men
lined up waiting for. bread. There are
hundreds of thousands of men out of
work all over the country. They cannot
tell these men that there is no panic
now"
John S. Parry of San Francisco. a
labor leader accompanying Mr. Kern.
received word at Columbus, Ind, that
his mother was dead. Mr.. Parry was
stunned by the news and finally broke
down completely. He was left at a
hotel in Columbus.

ARCHBOLD REPLIES
To HEARST CHARGES
Says Judges Morrison and Hem
dersOn Knew Nothing of His
Letters TO Governor Stone
Asks Yellow Editor to Return
Stolen Missives Relative to
Child's Fatal Illness

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-John d. Arch
bold of the Standard oil company made
the following statement this afternoon
regarding the letters read by William
r. Hearst at the Carnegie hall meet
ing Saturday night:
Il am very sure that until Hearst
read the letters neither Judge Morri
son nor Judge Henderson had any
knowledge of my having written Cow
ernor Stone in their behalf. Judge
Henderson was not appointed by Gov
ernor Stone to the supreme court, but
was three years later appointed by
Governor Pennypacker to superior
court judgeship. If, however, any
feeble word of mine could have int1u-
enced in the slightest degree the selec-
tion OF those gentlemen for their re-
spective positions | would be very
proud of 1T. Their states have no bet
ter servants than they and | certainly
have never asked of them a favor of
any kind, either for myself or for the
company with which 1 am connected.
My letters TO General Elkin refer
ring TO the accompanying drafts re-
lated entirely to contributions to the
republican state committee then en-
gagged in the campaign preliminary to
the denomination of Mr.. Mckinley, a
subject regarding which l should
think Hearst would be a little sensitive,
for was it not the election and the
tragic death of MIR. Mckinley that came
near costing Hearst his precious neck?
The statement regarding Judge
Haight is in connection with an old
libel that has been explained and eX-
ploded so many times that it would
be a simple WEAKNESS to the public to
go over it again.
The intimation by Mr.. Hearst that
he has had any communication from
me or any of my associates in connec-
tion with the stolen letters is a lie.
The only favor which l would ask
or hope ever TO ask of Hearst is that
he return me the letters handed him
by his larcenous gentleman friend
which were written from Japan relat-
ing to the fatal illness OF my daughter
in that country"

BRYAN IS HEARD
BY VAST THRONG
Democratic Candidate Draws
Great Crowd to Madison
Square Garden
Closes With Bitter Denunciation
of President, Whom He
Calls Dictator

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-At the close of
a trying day-a day of outdoor speak
ing in a drenching rain. of fast flying
trips by automobile and special train,
of receptions and formal dinners and of
three big evening meetings in different
sections of the city-W. j. Bryan to-
night in Madison Square garden ad-
dressed the most notable gathering of
his three campaigns. The great oval
amphitheater Of the garden held an i'm
mense throng. limited only by it's vast
capacity. From platform to the far
thermost reaches of the loftiest of the
four encfrclfng galleries there was no
vacant place The police early in the
evening cut off all access to the build
ing, with a. disappointed waiting line
blocks in length.
1t was 1915 o'clock when Bryan
finally reached the garden. His coming
was heralded by eager outposts at the
door, and the first cry of Bryan
brought all to their feet in one rising
wave of humanity. flag was in the
hands of every person in the vast audi
ence and the scene as the presidential
candidate made his way through the
aisles to the stage was strikingly a
repetition of the demonstration at Dem
yer when Bryan was nominated. The
waving of the flags in a ripping sea of
color, the cheering and the music lasted
for IA minutes before Bryan with up
lifted hands finally secured the silence
that permitted him to proceed.
Bryan began his long day with a
dash through mud and rain to Pater-
son, N. j., in an automobile. He spoke
in downpour for 20 minutes and, like
the thousands in his audience, was
drenched to the skin. Returning to the
city, he was the guest at reception
of the Women's democratic club at the
Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where two i'm
pulsive ladies threw their arms about
Bryan and kissed him.
Next he made flying trip through
Westchester county, speaking at~Yon-
kers, White Plains. Portchester, New
Rochelle and Mount Vernon. Once more
returning to New York, Bryan was the
guest of honor at reception and din
ner at the democratic club. Then be-
gan his evening tour, which took him
first before an outdoor gathering in
Hamilton Fish park, before q crowd
that filed Cooper Union. and to the
Palm Garden at Fifty-eighth street and
Third avenue. 1t was from the Palm
Garden that the candidate went direct
to Madison Square garden.
Bryan closed with a bitter denunci-
alton of the president for. he said. MAX
ing himself a dictator. II aspire to the
presidency he said. "The Office was
held by Washington and Jefferson, by
Jackson and Lincoln, and If ] take 1t I
want to take it with those sacred ira
ditions still clinging to it. I do not
want 1t thrown into the arena of poll
tics and made a football between the
parties"

L. L. Philip Says Republican
Candidates Part in Deal
Reflects Credit
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

MILWAUKEE. Oct 26-That the
charges against James s. Sherman rela-
i've to a proposed timber land pur-
chase from the territory of New Mex
leo are unfair to Sherman is the
statement Of Emanuel l. Philip today
who was the president of the company.
He in1mates that the story is the re-
suit of q blackmailing plot by Attorney
Burke OF California. who is responsible
Tor the charges. and who told Philip
some months ago that something
would have to be done or the charges
would be made. Philip says that
Shermans part in the proposed deal
should reflect credit upon him rather
than be used as campaign material
against him. The facts are exactly the
reverse Of what the New York
World charges. because when Philip
and his associates discovered that the
land could not be acquired without
eNading the provisions Of the govern
ment laws regarding the transferring
Of land grants they promptly dropped
the proceedings. and there the whole
matter ended

Philip. Il made the acquaintance at
Washington of one Edmond Burke, an
attorney from New Mexico. now of Los
Angeles. who represented to me that he
neld an option on a large tract Of
hmber land jn the territory of New

DENIES
REPORTED RUPTURE
Declares Negotiations Between
Austria and Turkey Are
Proceeding

LONDON, Oct. 26.-The British gov
ernment has issued in London and
through the British ambassadors
the direct negotiations between Aus
tria- Hungary and Turkey and Great
Britain's reported Intervention. A
statement was also issued that any di-
rect arrangement satisfactory to Tur-
key would in the opinion of the British
government smooth the way to gen.
eral settlement.
Although there has been no change
in the situation the tendency of diplo-
matte activity is toward peace. Servia
remains the danger point and the visit
of the Servian crown prince to st.
Petersburg arouses a certain amount
of apprehension in the absence of ac-
tual knowledge as to whether he is go
ings on a matrimonial errand or a
diplomatic mission TO the emperor, or
has merely been sent by King Peter to
put an end to his dangerous situation.
The prince is accompanied by M Pa
chitch, the Servian premier. In an
interview, while passing through Buda-
pest, the premier said that the princes s
mission was to persuade the Russian
emperor to intervene against the an
nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He added that he anticipated good re-
suits for Servia.
Only a few days ago the crown
prince declared that though he was no
firebrand and desired peace with his
whole heart the question of having ac-
cess to the sea was a matter OF life
or death for Servia and she was pre-
pared to fight If abandoned by the
powers.
1t is reported from both Vienna and
Constantinople that direct negotiations
between Austria and Turkey will be
resumed.
The Times Constantinople corre-
spondent believes that Turkey is ready
to enter into direct negotiations with
Bulgaria on the basis of Bulgaria's as
suming the Ottoman debt of $4,000, 900
and paying the arrears of the Russian
tribute.

The incident was forgotten for the
