Villa m j. Bryan.

Mr.. Bryan was the hero of the Balti-
more Convention. There can be no
doubt of that.
He might have done more, he might
have done less and he might have done
some things differently; but he is the
man who made the fight; he is the man
who shaped the issues; he is the man
who controlled events.
Whether in all things wisely, whether
in all things unselfshly, whether in all
things Loyalty devoted to Gov Wilson,
it was his courage, his clearness of
vision, his knowledge of the forces
with which he had to contend and his
splendid mental and physical endurance
that gained the day.
We pay this tribute to Mr.. Bryan be-
cause it is deserved, and we find the
more pleasure in it because for many
years past there have been occasions
almost without number on which we
were compelled to disagree with him
and to oppose him.
1t has seemed at times that Mr..
Bryan's purpose was not to strengthen
Democracy but to strengthen himself.
That suspicion attached to him at Balti-
more and it delayed his triumph. In
deed, the glory of his achievement is
doubled by the fact that it was brought
about at last as much by foes con-
WINGED as by friends who never doubted.
In this record of a political success
that has few parallels we find but a
single flaw. If at any stage of the

AUTO CLIMBS STOOP.
stops at Door of Quincy Street
Residence After Flight.

Residents in the vicinity of Quincy
street and Sumner avenue, Brooklyn,
who witnessed Saturday the antics of
runaway automobile, are half inclined
to believe that some parts of an auto
possess human instinct.
The thing that has set the people
guessing happened when the sun was at
its height. James Shaw, who drives a
large motor truck, is mystified and lucky
to be alive. He was bound for home
with his motor and picked out Quincy
street as a nice thoroughfare to ride
along. Suddenly the steering gear
baked and the machine decided that
going along in the hot sun in the middle
of the street was no fun and started to
turn in under large tree.
Shaw tugged away at the wheel, but
could do nothing. The power was shut
off and the brakes crammed on, but still
on rushed the truck. Over the curb
and up on the sidewalk: smash into the
iron fence in front of the home of Fred
White of Quincy street, ripping it away ,
bang into the first step of the stoop,
and up came the iron post, holding the
railing on the east side. Step by step
the machine climbed until it was almost
at the entrance to the dwelling. Then
it stopped. The force, however, of the
sudden stop was too much for Shaw,
and he toppled to the yard. Luckily he
landed on his side and only received
minor bruises. An examination dis
closed the steering gear to have been
the cause of the trouble.

Why Take a Chance7

Let not the delegates in convention
assembled here this week underestimate
the influence or the vote-getting power
of Theodore Roosevelt.
It's an almost impossible thing to
win an election as an Independent can
didate against the organization of both
parties, but it is also an almost i'm
possible thing to win a primary fight
against the organization of one party.
Yet consider what Roosevelt did in
his primary fghts-in Maryland and
elsewhere.
Nor is it altogether impossible for
an independent candidate to win out
against the machines of both parties.
Jerome did it in New York city, as a
candidate for District Attorney. He
was no more popular there than Roose-
welt is in many sections of the country.
Whether or not he is given the chance
to smash all precedents and to become
real factor in the campaign depends
upon whether or not he has real issue
to fight with. He can get that only il
it is handed to him gratis by the mem
bers of the Democratic convention.
If they nominate for President can
didate who is not acceptable to the
hundreds of thousands of followers OF
William Jennings Bryan; if they NOM
mate candidate who will repel the
many thousands more who are anxious
to vote for man of the Wilson type;
if they nominate man offensive to
the multitudes of progressive through
out the country, they will give Roose-
welt his issue and his battle-cry.
Why should the rejuvenatedi Democ-
racy of the country take such chance!

his capacity of modern Autolycus, the
'snapper-up of unconsidered trif1es,
took from Massachusetts,. This leaves
a majority of but 10. There were on
the roll over 80 Taft delegates who had
been defeated by the people as delegates,
but had been seated as such by the
national committee. Not one of the 80
men opposing the Taft delegates had as
poor a title as the Taft delegates from
the borough of Manhattan of the city
of New York
LAS regards 70 of them, their title
was absolutely plain, and quite as good
as the title of the uncontested Taft del
egates. Deducting merely the latter
number Mr.. Taft's vote sinks at once to
481, or 60 less than were required for
his nomination. These 481 represent
the maximum of legally obtained votes
which Mr. Taft could claim in the con-
vention. 1t was 60 votes less than were
necessary for nomination. Not only
was the nomination of Mr.. Taft abso-
lutely fraudulent, but so was the seat
ing of Mr.. Root, and so was every
motion adopted by the fraudulent ma
tional convention.
But there are other deductions which
must be made from Mr.. Taft's delegates
if we wish to find out the exact extent
to which they represent the people. Ir
the first place we must deduct the Il
votes from the Territories, which cast
no electoral votes. This reduces Mr.
Taft's vote to 469. Subtract Florida
Georgia, Arkansas, Louisiana, South
Carolina and Virginia, where there is nc
real Republican party, and Mr.. Taft'i
vote becomes 220.
Subtracting from these the boss.
picked delegates from the States where
the people had no choice, there remain
about 70 delegates, considerably les:
than ten per cent. of the total number
of delegates, 1,078 all told. To these
70 delegates, and to these only, Mr.
Taft was morally entitled. The Other
seven-eighths of his nominating vote
came from fraudulently seated dele
gates, delegates representing States
and Territories where there was no Re
publican vote, and boss-picked delega
tons from States where the people hac
no power to express their will.
THE conventions makeup was frau
dulent; its action was fraudulent, anC
binds no Republican; and it should be
repudiated by every man who sincerely
believes in honesty"

Funeral of Mr.. Foster

Funeral services over the remains of
the Rev. Nathaniel Rue Foster, the
young pastor of Cuyler Presbyterian
Church, who was killed in an autmobie
accident on Monday, just two weeks
after his ordination to the ministry,
were held yesterday afternoon at 80
at Cream Ridge, N. j., in the home of
his mother, he being an only son.
The services were largely attended
and very impressive. Sixteen were in
the delegation that represented Cuyler
Church. The Rev. H. S. Zimmerman,
pastor of the Cumberland Street Church,
a branch of the Lafayette Avenue
Church, conducted the services on be-
half of Cuyler Church. The Rev.
Charles T. Berry, long Brooklyn pas
tor and prominent in the Presbytery of
Brooklyn, spoke for that body.

AUTO DRIVER KILLED.
Machine Rams Charcoal Wagon
Horses Run Away.

Horses Hun Away.
Luigi Tempest, chauffeur for Alex
ander Steinert of 301 Commonwealth
avenue, Boston, is dead and six other
persons are injured as the result of an
auto accident in which the Steinert auto
mobile, driven by Tempest, crashed
into charcoal wagon on Massachusetts
avenue, near Clapp street, Dorchester,
Saturday morning.
Tempest was hurled from his seat
and sustained compound fracture of
the skull. He died later at the City
Hospital without regaining conscious
ness.
In the machine behind the chauffeur
were William and Frank j. Steinert,
sons of the owner; George S. johnson
of 81 Newbury street, and Miss Flor
ence ]. Reinhardt of % Cushing avenue,
Dorchester, and Frank ]. Reinhardt of
IL Wells avenue, Allston. Reinhardt
was the only one of the occupants who
escaped injury.
The charcoal wagon was driven by
John Murphy of 20 Water street, Som
erville, and with him was Dominica
Falcone of the same address. Both
were thrown to the ground and badly
bruised. Falcone was taken to the City
hospital and treated for scalp wounds.
William Steinert suffered lacerated
wound of the right elbow while Frank
Steinert sustained minor bruises. The
other occupants suffered from slight
Commissions and shock.
Witnesses told the police that the au-
tomobile crashed into the wagon from
behind. The rear wheel of the wagon
was torn off and the contents scattered
all over the street, holding up traffic for
some time. The horses attached to the
wagon became frightened and ran away,
ending up by running into Boston Ele-
waited repair wagon where they stopped
without further damage.

early stage, Mr.. Bryan had emphatic

NUM- cipal Regulation Of Auto
Traffic.

The suggestion that measures be
adopted to bring order out of traffic
chaos on our principal streets as re-
suit of the go-as-you-please methods
followed by chauffeurs as well as drivers
of teams, has struck a responsive
chord, and it is safe to say that some
thing will be done in the immediate fu-
ture to remedy the trouble.
Ex-Mayor S. S. Ballard Of Mont
pelier, who is also one of the leading
spirits in the Vermont Automobile
association, noting the situation in this
city as outlined in our columns, was
moved to write to the Free Press and
suggest that the experience which
Montpelier has had with the problem of
regulating auto traffic might be helpful
to the people of Burlington.
Montpelier made two attempts to
adjust the situation there, and the first
amendment to the city charter pro-
vided that automobiles should not
stand in the street longer than ten
minutes. Much objection was made to
this feature and the authorities finally
concluded that it was not practical.
On September 13, 1911, the city coun-
Gil adopted another amendment to the
city charter which ex-Mayor Ballard
says has worked out very acceptably
so far.
The principal provisions of the Mont
pelier ordinance are as follows:
"No person shall stand in or upon
any public highway, street, sidewalk
or crossing in the city, in such a man.
ner as to obstruct travel over the
same. No person having control of a
team, automobile, or other vehicle,
shall allow such team, automobile or
other vehicle to stand in or upon any
highway or street in the city, in such q
manner as to obstruct travel over the
same.
mo person shall stop with a team,
automobile or other vehicle in any
public street in the city at the side OF
or so near to another team, automo-
bile or other vehicle as to obstruct
public travel.
mo person shall drive a team, auto
mobile or other vehicle in the streets
except at the right of the center of the
street and when a team, automobile OF
other vehicle is brought to a stop, il
shall be at the curve of the street to the
drivers right.
mo person shall place any obstruc
ton of any kind upon any sidewalk OIL
across any flag or other footwalk laic
across any street or highway in the
city,"
In addition to provisions of this char
acter Burlington needs regulations ir
relation to speed and above all to the
operation of autos in passing street
cars or other conveyances from which
passengers may be alighting under
such conditions that it is impossible fol
them to see an approaching automo
bile. A number of people in Burling
ton have narrowly escaped being hi
by motor cars dashing by while they
were alighting from street cars, the
escape being due to good luck rather
than to any precaution on the part Of
those operating autos. - Burlington

Maintaining that the chief value

impulsive action, Sutherland de-
nounced the plan for the recall Of
judicial decisions which he said in
effect will be to render a judicial de-
cision by the show of hands at the

A motion to urge the president

after a heated debate.

cry Letters May be Received Here
on Sabbath Hereafter.

Absolutely no mail, except that

ance with new ruling by the posi-
office department, affecting all first
and second class postoffices, which
forbids the delivery of any mail.
either by carrier or at the postoffice
except by special delivery. The OBJ
j Ct of the new order is explained by
the first assistant postmaster gem
eral to be the reduction of Sunday
work to the minimum, in order that
as many Of the employees as possible
may enjoy a complete day of rest on
the Sabbath.
For some unexplained reason, the
order does not apply to post offices
Of the third and fourth class, whose
patrons may continue to receive
their mail al the general delivery
window or through lock boxes or
Sunday as usual on that day here
tofore.
1t is understood that the order i.
in reality a consequence of the new
eight hour labor law, which prohib-
its government employees working
more than eight hours a day for six
days of each week.
Following is the er received by
Postmaster Rentfro from the first az
sistant postmaster general relative
to the new Sunday ruling:

Posmater.
Sir:
The postoffice appropriation
act for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1913, provides:
THAT hereafter post offices
of the first and second classes
shall not be open on Sundays
for the purpose of delivering
mail to the general public, but
this provision shall not prevent
the prompt delivery of special
delivery mail"
Under this law you will close
the general delivery. carriers
window and lock boxes and dis
continue all deliveries by car
riers on Sunday. You will note,
however, that special delivery
mail is excepted and you will
therefore arrange to have on
duty sufficient force to handle
this mail matter promptly.
The department desires to re-
duce Sunday work to the min
imum so that as many of the
employees as possible may enjoy
a complete day Of rest on Sun
day. You should. therefore, re-
quire only a sufficient number
of clerks to report for duty on
that day in order that transit
mail and mail collected for dis
patch may be handled without
delay. Ii no mail is dispatched
on Sunday a very early collec-
tion should be made on Monday
morning and the mail for local
delivery distributed before the
carriers leave for their first
trip.

POLICE TRIED TO
COVER UP MURDER
Young Governess Found Choked to
Death in Hotel in New York City.
Nlice Hiding Evidence.

New York, Aug. 27.-Investiga-
tors working for the district attor-
ney are trying to learn why Miss
Julia Curran, the highly educated
Irish girl found murdered in the
Hotel Boulevard, on Upper Broad
way, abandoned an auto trip to
Canada with her wealthy employer,
Mrs. James d. Smith, and returned
mysteriously to New York without
the knowledge Of her sister, Mrs.
John Kinnears.
Police Hiding Evidence.
The district attorney wants to
know, because for 16 hours after the
nude body OF the dead girl was
found by a hotel waiter the police
gave out he report that death was
from natural causes, while a hos
pital physician, DR.. Fisher, and
Coroner's Physician Dr. Otto Schulz
assterted that it was plain even to
a layman that Miss Curran was
choked and beaten to death.
1t was learned that Miss Curran,
who was employed by aristocratic
families in Europe as governess and
companion and who spoke five Ian
guages, landed in America July Z
and at once became the salaried
companion of Mrs. Smith, whom she
met on the boat According to Mrs.
Kinnears, the girl started last week
with the Smiths for Canada on an
auto trip and wrote several post
cards along the route telling her
sister what good time she was
having. That was the last Mrs.
Kinnears knew of the girl until
Thursday night, when police notified
her that Miss Curran was dead.
They obtained the Kinnear address
from a card in the young
woman's handbag, found in the
