fag W. J. Bryan and Presidency.
SBT. LOUIS, Nov. 19—The following
statement was given ont by William |=%
R. Hearst: :
The interviews that appeared In the |
St. Louls moring papers were absunl | ing
iy false from beginning to end, bul
there is only one point that is impor | SH
tant enough to require a specific denlal
The Globe Democrat says: “As to «fie | BS
possibility of Bryan receiving the Dew | F58
ocralic nomination for president In) i
1908, Hearst simply replied that he} §
was not a clairvoyant. ‘I do not ad
mit, mind you,' he said, ‘that Bryan
even Hgures ns a possibility two yearn

1 did not say one word of this state

Bryan woukl be nominated and elect

would happen two years from now,
The falsehoods that are told about

sist this reference to Mr. Bryan shall
be corrected, as I would pot like Mr,
Bryan or his friends to think that 1

Used Human Benes as Clabes.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19.—-Human bones
were used as cudgels and ossified
arms and legs swung by medical stu
dents played the star part as bludgeons
in a fracas with the dental students on
the football field at Northwestern unl
versity here when the football teams
of the dental and medical departments
of the institution met at their annual
game. Between the halves the friends
of the teams clashed. Each dental
student carried a grotesque papier
mache cane, which they wielded with
effect on the “medics.” When the med-
fcal students saw their opponents
rushing toward them they suddenly
drew forth from: under thelr overcoats
leg and arm bones (led with red and
purple ribbons, and with these clubs
they smashed the heads of the Ia
vaders unmercifully. The dental stu:
dents were soon put to flight,
