WILSON AND BRYAN
MEET AND SHAKE
First Time They Have Seen
Each Other in Months-Both
Pass Through Pittsburgh.
SPEAK BUT A MOMENT

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 20.-President
Wilson and w. J. Bryan, former sec
rotary of state, met here today for the
first time in months. The president
stopped in Pittsburgh for an hour and
a half on the way from Chicago to
Long Branch, N. J., and Mr.. Bryan
came here on the way to speak at
Jamestown, Pa.
As soon as the president arrived at
the station the former secretary of
state boarded Mr., Wilson's private car
and the two men shook hands. A
crowd outside the car witnessed the
greeting. The men spoke together
only moment or two and then left
the car.
The appearance OF Mr.. Bryan
caused five minutes delay in an
automobile tour of Pittsburgh ar
ranged for the president Automobiles
for the presidents party were waiting
outside the station and President and
Mrs. Wilson entered one OF them, Mr..
Bryan and Secretary Tumulty rode
in another.
President Wilson was returning to
the summer capital at Long Branch,
N. j., highly satisfied with the recep-
ton awarded him in Chicago yester-
day and last night. He is due to ar
rive at Shadow Lawn at, midnight.
On the ride the president lost his
hat and the automobile was stopped
while secret service man recovered
it. A man, apparently workman,
with "a bag Of tools jumped on the
running board Of the automobile, but
was knocked off by secret service
men. The man chased the presidents
conveyance for block before he was
arrested by local detectives.
The prisoner gave the name Of
Richard Cullon, aged "a, a machinist
Of this city. On his way to the po-
lice station he told the police that he
was not at all satisfied with Presi-
dent Wilson's conduct OF the union
war. In the bag he carried was a
knife with blade five inches long and
a bottle Of liquid the police are en-
delivering to analyze. Also in the
bag were several, wood chisels. The
prisoner e held by the police for OBJ
servation.

Miss Martin Flags
Demos Who Roughly
Handled Hecklers

Reno, New, Oct. 20-In a state
ment issued here today Miss Anna Fl.
Martin. national chairman Of the wo-
mans party, condemned the action
of the crowd in roughly handling
women at Chicago last night while
President Wilson was speaking. .,
1--WE are accused Of being militant
said Miss Martin, but our work for
national political freedom has been
carried on everywhere by peaceful,
dignifed and constitutional methods.
The only 'militants' are the demo-
cratic men who do not hesitate to
malign US, attack us, to knock women
down if need be, and to destroy our
property in their efforts to oppose
justice to women and our purpose to
hold the democratic party responsible
for its hostility to national suffrage
for women.
THE recent attack upon the wo-
mans party in Chicago emphasizes
the necessity OF speedily placing all
the women of the country under the
protection Of the national constitu-
ton"
