DAY FOR
BRYAN SPEECHES
He MADE rMEhTY.slx IN MIS-.
souri, YESTERDAY.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-With a recori
Of twenty-six speeches delivered dur
ing the day, William j.. Bryan brought
to a close in this city tonight his lat
est tour. The reception accorded hin
was q fitting finale to unprecedented
demonstrations which marked His
progress through this state. He was
up and doing as early as z o'clock in
the morning and found little opportun.
ity for rest. Today's journey, which
was through eight counties Of the
state, might well be termed a thar.
mony meeting for aboard the special
tram were representatives of the sew.
eral factions OF Missouri Democracy,
who were outspoken in their determi.
nation to actively support the national
and state tickets.
The trip from Independence to Kan
sas City was made in motor cars, the
speed laws being suspended in order
to enable the party to catch It's train.
From the moment Of his first utter
ance until he had concluded his re
marks here, MI. Bryan declared that
the electoral vote Of the state ct Mis-
souri, was safely Democratic and he
devoted considerable time to urging
the people to elect the entire state
ticket, as well as q legislature which
would send to Washington q Demo
cratic senator. AS on yesterday, he
sought to instill in the minds Of his
hearers the fact that a Democratic
victory this year meant q return to
prosperity. He did not overlook Pres
ident Roosevelt in discussing the trust
question and read q communication
from the acting attorney general Of
the United States, which he inter-
preted as q direct refusal upon the
part OF the law department OF the
to prosecute q corpora
ton for conducting it's business in re-
of trade. Mr.. Taft, as usual,
got his share OF criticism, the Demo
cratic candidate pointing out that his
opponent was going
around the country making promises
which he knew he could not fulfill,
he said the Republican party was
unable to Offer any real reforms.
While speaking at Glasgow to q big
crowd an incipient panic occurred,
caused by some one making an out
cry that a train was coming. Men,
women and children IN their desire
70 get on the tracks, were knocked
down. several women tainted and two
other men and an old woman appeared
% be badly hurt.
Mr.. Bryan urged the people to be
calm. The train which the people
was coming upon them was
and the fright was over.
Mr.. Bryan left at midnight for Tin.
,oln, Neb., where he will remain until
Tuesday morning, when he again
starts westward, spending three days
q Nebraska and making flying trips
Q Colorado and Wyoming.

BIDS FUN a FIY ING MACHINE.
Forty-One Received by Chief Signal
Officer Today.

Bids were opened today at the United

months ago.
In the specifications II was stated that

Of the combined weight of go pounds
and sufficient fuel for flight of 10
miles. 1t must be designed for a speed
of at least forty miles an hour. but a
machine will be accepted If capable of
flying thirty-six miles an hour. although
only 60 per cent of the contract price
will be paid therefor.
Another provision in the specifications
is premium speed in excess of
forty miles an hour. so at fo~ty-fou- miles
the machine would cost the government
100 per cent of the contract price.
A severe requirement is that before
the acceptance of his invention the in
ventor must make trial endurance flight
of at least hour. remaining con-
tinuously in the air without landing
Forty-one bids have been received for
the construction of the machines Cen
Allen holds that as the board o. forti-
fcations has provided for the construction
of similar machines. the board should be
allowed to pass upon the proposals.
Therefore he will content himself with
the proper scheduling of the bids for the
next Thursday. Meanwhile all details as
to the nature of the machines and the
prices asked are regarded confiden-

WOMAN FIGHTS PROHIBITION
MISS COUSINS CALLS IT FRAUD
AND FAILURE"
Opposes Withdrawal of Federal
Liquor Licenses in "Dry States"
Cites Noah.

The subcommittee of the Senate COM
mittee on judiciary. consisting of Senators
Knox, Nelson. Fulton and Bacon, ap-
pointed to hold hearings on bills and reso-
lutions providing for the withdrawal of
federal liquor licenses in prohibieion
states, today listened to arguments by
members of the German-Amercan ALI
ance and representatives of wine grow
ers' associations. directed against the
passage of any measures of the kind pro-
posed.
Miss Phoebe Cousins. the former tenn
perance advocate and woman .suffragist,
appeared before the committee and made
a stirring address in support of the con-
tentions of the German-Americans. say
ing that she had once supported the pro-
hibition idea. but that she found it to be
fraud and a failure
prohibition Unconstitutional"
She said that 1t was decreed I'm the
Constitution that men should not be de-
prived of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, and therefore it was outside
the province of the government to inter-
fere in the liquor traffic by admitting that
states rights are supreme over the pow
ers of the federal government.
You cannot take man. said she. who
from time immemorial has been ac-
customed to some kind of drink, and de-
prive him of it Every nation the world
has known has had it's form of strong
drink. Noah himself had a potion which
in his days would be considered strong
and harmful as wood alcohol You can
not remove the custom of drinking by a
prohibition law
Miss Cousins mentioned that s2S7, 900 600
was paid to the government annually in
the form of internal revenue, and drew
attention to the fact that the senators of
the subcommittee were themselves draw
ing part of their salary from this fund.

RAN AMUCK WITH A RAZOR
CRAZY PASSENGER SLASHES
MEN ON NEW YORK STREET CAR
Cuts the Motorman and Vanishes as
Mysteriously as He
Had Come.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February IA maniac
appeared suddenly on Myrtle avenue
trolley car in Brooklyn early this morn
ing and after viciously cutting the faces
and shoulders of two men with a razor
disappeared as mysteriousy he had
come. The reserves and plain clothes men
of the Vernon avenue station were at
once turned out in search of the man,
and they started in to beat up the entire
district Their search has been unavail-
ing thus far and the maniac is still at
large.
The car. in charge of Conductor Charles
Morton had proceeded along Myrtle ave-
nue. as far as Marcy without incident. A
young man. fairly we'll dressed. swung
aboard the car there and took a seat
near the door. The hour was near ,
o'clock, and there were not more than
half a dozen passengers in the car, all
of whom were men.
No one had noticed the Marcy avenue
passenger as he entered the car and
took his seat. The car gathered way.
and as it reached full speed the young
man leaped to his feet with a queer
noise in his throat and attacked the
nearest passenger like Wild animal.
Cowed the Passengers.
His motions were quick that no one
could clearly see what he doing
til he withdrew his hand from his vic
TINS face and held it poised aloft a mo-
ment with razor in it. The man on
the seat. Conrad Lang. of Maspeth. l.. J..
had long sashes on his face and shoul-
ders The attack had been so swift that
he had no time to resist or escape.
Then the crazy man leaped to the next
passenger, Peter Ockerman. Ockerman
had some warning and tried to fight the
man off ;,ut oc!y got his hands slashed
for his efforts. The attacker was pos
sessed of maniacal strength, and throw
aside Ockerman's defense while he slash
ed his face right and left with the razor.
The passengers sat overcome with fear
and did nothing. but Conductor Morton
caught him by surprise and got good
grip or lis arms and body from behind.
But the maniac jerked himself free with
out effort. apparently, and with parting
lunge at Morton. ran to the rear plat
form and leaped to the street.
The car was stopped and All alarm at
once sent in to police headquarters. An
ambulance came from the Cumberland
Street Hospital and the two passengers
were removed there to have their many
cuts attended to. Conductor Morton had
a slash in the arm dressed and then went
on with his car.
