BERLIN. March 1S-The waving
of n handkerchief by woman from
an upper window of the Hotel Adlon
after the departing Baltic troops this
afternoon was the signal for mob
attack on the hotel and was followed
by the firing of the troops on the
crowd, causing the death of at least
three persons and the wounding OF
score of others. The lobby of the fash

foreigners, and as the abiding place
of sundry juniSers and profiteers.
Anticipating trouble. the manage
ment had put an iron grating in place
between the outer doors. Observing
the rush of the mob against the hotel,
a squad of the Baltic troops, which
had reached the Brandenburg gate to
the Tiergarten, a couple of hundred
yards distant, turned a machine gun
on the crowd and opened fire Several
witnesses assert that shots were first
fired from the crowd at the troops.
The correspondent, who was standing
at the time at the entrance to the
Adlon, failed to hear them.
The terrified people, surging against
the grating as the machine gun fire
opened, sent it down with a crash and
the crowd poured into the lobby. Three
persons who had been wounded were
brought into the lobby, which was
shortly cleared of the untouched in

IRepubIican a. p. Leased WireI

NEW YORK, March 19.-William J.
Bryan declared here tonight that his
ambition was not to enjoy the honors
of public office but to discharge as
fully as possible his debt of gratitude
to the American people.
This was the Nebraskans first pro-
nouncement on the democratic presi-
dental nomination since the announce
ment of his brother in Lincoln on
March that if the "commoner'' were
elected a delegate to the national con-
vention he would not vote for United
States Senator G. NJ. Hitchcock of Me-
braska.
Mr.. Bryan made known his stand in
a speech at dinner at the Aldine club
arranged in celebration of his sixtieth
birthday anniversary by friends and
admirers OF all parties. This address
was the first of a speaking tour that
will embrace many states.
After submitting some conclusions
drawn from 30 years OF experience in
the arena of politics." Mr. Bryan said:
Even in my youth had no doubt of
the final triumph or every righteous
cause and my faith is even greater now
since I have seen reform after reform
accomplished, and great principles, that
were at first scoffed at. written into
the unrepealable law of the land.
'WiIi Work for People"
no one has been happier than / in
the character and constancy of his
friends or more generously rewarded
for labor in the political vineyard. My
ambition is not to enjoy the honors of
office, but to discharge fully as
can the debt of gratitude owe 20 the
American people.
81 am aware that my place in his
tory will not depend upon what others
do for me, but upon what am able TO
do for my country. IL a kind provi-
denee adds years TO my life they will
