Chicago.
GIVEN A GREAT OVATION
Tumult Meets the Great Commoner
When, for the Second Time, He
Faces the Vast Assembly.
AT the Auditorium.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-The second ses-
sion of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep
Waterways Association was attend
ed by as great and enthusiastic an
audience as that which listened to
William H. Taft on the opening day.
William j. Bryan was the magnet at
the second session, and his appear
ance on the platform and his intro
duction by David r. Francis of St.
Louis was the signal for a tumult
that forced the democratic candl-
date TO bow repeatedly and wait
many minutes before delivering the
first sentence of his speech.
After a report by the committee
on credentials had been received in
the morning session, Walter d
Moody, representing the Chicago AS
sociation of Commerce, as chairman
of It's committee on reception OF del
egates, announced the program for
the day. He was followed by former
Governor Francis of Missouri, who
Introduced Mr.. Bryan.
At the afternoon session Clifford
Pinchot, chairman of the national
conservation committee, delivered
an address on Waterways and the
Conservation Movement"
After the roll of states had beer
called and 10-minute addresses de-
livered by many delegates, the ses
sion adjourned and the delegates
prepared for the great auto parade

Vienna Oct. 9.-War between
Austro-Hungary and Servia is a rec

lieved here that it will be averted.
King Feter is in a difficult position
on account of the clamor of the Ser
vians for war, particularly since his
tenure on the throne never has been
very safe. The Austrians, on their
part, have a feeling of national en-
thusiasm on account of the forward
movement in the annexation of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina provinces and
would be more ready for further ad-
venture than they would have been
a week ago. That the government
recognizes the possibility of war. the
military precautions in Hungary
show. All the bridges over the Save
and the Danube near the Servian
frontier are strongly guarded by pa
trolls and four Danube river moni-

this maneuver was planned some
time ago, so the Austrians would

Plano, Tex, Oct. 9.-Albert Bla-
lock, young man engaged in clean
ing the transformer rooms about 2
o'clock yesterday morning at the sub
station of the Interurban road here,
came in contact with live wire car
rying 1000 volts, burning the flesh
off of his left arm and hand and
his right hand badly. He was on a
step-ladder, and, losing his balance,
fell twenty feet to the cement floor,
cutting a cash in his forehead. His
garments were ablaze when the night
ticket agent ran to him. Losing his
balance jerked him loose from the
| live wire, perhaps saving him from

which the famous Italian created. The

-Tbe half has never been told OF

lative taken from the dictionary. an
EFFORT to describe his greatness would
fall short. There is no limit 10 his

tones. thrilled the heart and called
forth the most deafening applause"
And every Columbus critic echoed
the sentiment thus expressed. That
the assisting artists are also above
the ordinary was the unanimous opin-
Ion OF the reviewers, each OF the ar

praise Caruso and his party appear
