Bryan Plans to Win New York.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-William J.
Bryan will make a determined effort
TO place New York State in the
Democratic column. Plans to this
end were carefully laid at a three
hour conference of Mr. Bryan, Ma
tional Chairman Mack, heads of the
various bureaus of the National Com
mittee, and members of the execu-
tive committee at Democratic head
quarters, shortly after Mr.. Bryan's
arrival here from Des Moines.
Mr.. Bryan will speak in New York,
Syracuse and Rochester between Sep
TENDER 16 and 20, and early in Oeto-
Der will again speak in New York
City and in Buffalo. Reports re-
ceived by Chairman Mack gave
strong hope TO Mr.. Bryan and mem
bers of the National Committee that
the Democrats could carry New York
if Mr.. Bryan would speak in the
principle centers of the state.
It was further developed at the
conference that Mr.. Bryan would
make a fight in the Middle West,
while John W. Kern, the Vice-Presi-
Dental candidate, would likely be
called upon TO make an extended
tour of the Pacific Coact states.

futile, a farmer of Lincoln Park,
N. j., was held up" by two high
waymen, and in consequence one Of
them is poorer by a gold watch and
$25, which futile will hold as the
spoils. He was returning from Pat
erson when the two men leaped into
his wagon and commanded him to
disgorge the contents Of his pockets.
Instead, the farmer struck one of the
men, knocking him over the dash
board, and the horses trampled on
him. AS the animals continued TO
speed along, futile continued to fight
the other one. Within 100 yards of
his home he tore most of the high
wayman's clothes off and hurled him
into the road.
Later futile searched the clothes
and in a waistcoat pocket found the
money and watch. The later is
worth $50.

Government Presents Petition. 20
Circuit Court of Appeals.
Chicago. Aug 25.-Petitions for a
rehearing in the Standard Oil case
have been presented by the Federal
Government in the Circuit Court of
Appeals here. 1t is authoritatively
stated that this is the administra-
tons attempt to save the Elkins act

from becoming futile.
The filing of the petition marked

stated in the petition, it was agreed
by counsel for the Government, in
their conference at Lenox, Mass,
following the reversal by the Appel
late Court of Judge Lands decision
that if the Interpretation of the law
given by Judges Grosscup, Sherman
and Baker was allowed to stand,
successful prosecution Of rebate
cases against corporations would be
impossible in the future. The law
yers at the conference over which the
Attorney-General of the United
States presided were unit in ex-
pressing the opinion that the reforms
in rebate matters brought about by
the Roosevelt administration would
represent so much loss of time unless
the higher court can be convinced
that it is in error in the construction
of the law.

Loss of S175, 900. in Bills of Large
Denominations, Laid to Form
er Asserting Teller.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The mystery
of the theft oil $4,000 from the
United States Sub-Treasury a year
and a half age, one of the largest
losses the Government has ever suf-
fered in this manner, is believed to
have been solved by the arrest Of
George W Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald was an asserting teller
under Assistant Treasurer William
Boldenweck. Suspicion at the time
of the theft, February 20, 1907. rest
ed on him, but so plausible was his
story and so intense his apparent in
terest in discovering the real culprit
that interest ceased to center on him.
Fitzgerald was discharged from
the Government employ for culpable
negligence in allowing such a theft
tC be 1onsummated under his very
eyes. The money stolen had been
used and was tied in packages, some
Of which had been marked for de-
struction at Washington. Any OF
them would readily have passed any
where except for their large denomi-
nations. None of the bills was under
$500, and some were of $4,000 and
$4,000 denominations, the $4,000
ones predominating.
When Fitzgerald was discharged
he declared he was worth but $500,
but recently he has been investing in
valuable real estate and specializing
heavily in eggs.
