BRYAN SPEAKS
 IN DOZEN TOWNS

Detroit, October 25.-William Jennings Bryan campaigning in behalf of Gov ernor Wilson's candidacy, shot across southeastern Michigan today, making over dozen speeches in as many cities and returning to Detroit tonight to ad- dress a democratic mass meeting.
 Mr. Bryan devoted considerable of his time today to discussion of campaign contributions. He also repeatedly criti- cised the presidential candidates of the opposing parties and treated the repub- lcan national convention humorously.
 In several cities ne made the announce ment that the treasurer of the democratic national committee had informed him that the contribution of $12500 which Cyrus II Mccormick of Chicago had made to Governor Wilson's campaign had been returned. He referred to MT. Mccormick as being connected with the International Harvester company and said that despite MT. Mccormick was q college mate and lifelong friend of Governor Wilson, the contribution had been refused on the ground that the acceptance of it might cause political opponents to charge that the Wilson campaign had become indebted to persons or concerns involved in gov ernment litigation. From here Mir. Bryan will go to Chicago, where he will make several speeches tomorrow.

DECLARE MURDER
 ACT OF VENGENCE Detectives Say Conference Was Held by the Five
 MurdeEers

Bridgeport. Conn, october 25.-Defiinite evidence has been secured by the police dectictive, Captain George H. Arnold, to- day that the murder of Jennie Cavaglieri. young Italian woman near Stratford after she had been taken there by five men of her nationality in an autcmo-
 bile from this city, was an act of veng- canoe executed upon her for having be- trayed secrets of white slave trafficik- CTS.
 Captain Arnold says the evidence proves
 that the manner of the woman's death
 was decided at a conference between the
 five men implicated. held in the Italian
 quarters of the city Sunday night. At this | conference the question was whether the | woman should be sashed with the
 squealers" mark or should be put to death. The latter was determined upon. According to Captain Arnold the five
 men came to Bridgeport under directions
 from certain men in the white slave" traffic for the express purpose of making away with the woman because she had be- | trayed the organization code which pro- l vdes disagreement or death for any per 1 son who becomes untrue or any woman
 who leaves the man under whose protec-
 ton or with whom she has been living. | Investigation of the case, Captain Ar
 hold declares has so far failed to reveal | the true identity of the woman, although she has been given several names since 1 the crime was committed. There is every
 indication, however. he says, that she was closely connected with white slave" traf-
 fc in New York, New Haven, Conn. and | Chicago. Some of the evidence collected tends to show direct connection be- tween the shooting and the vice crusade" i in Chicago and that the woman's death was decreed by the national organiza-
 tion of white slave" traders.

 The fair is pronounced the best that has ever been held in Montgomery. The various agricultural exhibits are of q higher order of excellence than have ever been seen here before, and but for the bad weather of the first two or three day s of the fair the exposition would probably have been the most successful from a financial point of view of any heretofore held in Montgomery.
