the port of New York was the wel- |
come extended William J. Bryan, who |
returned on board the steamer |
Prinzess Irene from his tour of the old
world. He arrived at Quarantine at |
precisely two minutes after 3 o'clock |
p. m. Sirens from every craft with-'|
in the eyesight gave him a rousing |
welcome. And the Nebraska “home |
folks.” who had gone down the bay |
to meet him, shouted heartily. |
Mr. Bryan did not enter New York
as was at first planned. He was tak-
en off the ship at Quarantine on the
private vacht of Louis Nixon. After
landing at Stapleton, Staten Island, |
Mr. Bryan, his wife and daughter were |
at once driven in an automobile to
Mr. Nixon's home.
Here Mr. Bryan spent the night, the
evening being devoted to a conference
with intimate personal friends and
men of prominence in his party. No
especial political significance was at-
tached to the conference by those who |
attended it, and who declared its pur- |
pose was merely to learn Mr. Bryan's |
wishes regarding the plans which have |
been made for him during the next few |
weeks. and to acquaint him with the |
drift of affairs at home.
NEARLY MOBBED BY THE CROWD
Twenty Thousand People Shout Them-
Hoarse at Madison
Square Garden.
William Jennings Bryan's entry into
New York was a series of ovations, |
beginning with his landing at the
Battery at 4 o’clock and reaching an
early climax when he arrived at the
Victoria hotel, and hour later. |
Here the home-coming Nebraskan
was fairly mobbed by the thousands
of persons who had gathered outside
the hotel entrances and the hundreds
who had forced their way into the
corridors.
Such a welcome as seldom in this
country’s history has been accorded |
a private citizen was given to Mr.
Bryan at Madison Square garden in |
the evening.
As the guest of the Commercial
Travelers’ Anti-Trust league Mr.
Bryan was greeted by more than 20
000 persons, who filled the
structure from floor to upper gallery. |
selves
At the same time the streets and
avenues outside the garden were |
choked for blocks by other thous- |
ands who stood patiently for hours
for the privilege of even a fleeting
glance at the distinguished visitor.
The interior of the garden was a wav- |
ing sea of color. Every person in the |
audience had been provided with a
miniature American flag and every
cheer from "20,000 throats was accent-
uated by the waving of 20,000 tiny |
staffs bearing the stars and stripes.
In his speech Mr. Bryan told of
his observations while abroad, and |
compared the systems of government
of other nations with that of our
own. Mr. Bryan in concluding this
feature of his address, remarked: “14
return home a better American than
when I went away.” |
He discussed many topics of Na-!
tional interest and declared himself |
in favor of government ownership of
trunk lines, an eight-hour day for |
workmen, and arbitration of labor dis-
putes.
Blind Man Receives Sight.
James Wrentzler of Manchester, |
Pa., who for several years prior to his |
death a few days ago had been to-

of rebates secured from railroad com-

All cof the indictments save one,
grow out of the shipments of oil from
Whiting, Ind., to various points in the |
South, Southwest and central portions
of the United States. The exception
is the indictment charging the com-
pany with having accepted a rebate |
in the form of cancelation of storage
charges at Chicago from the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern.
It is charged that the oil trust ac
cepted from the seven railroads
named net rates upon its oil ship-
ments to the South, Southwest and |
central sections that were from 12
to 27 cents per 100 pounds less than
the rate published by the roads, and
charged to other shippers.
Each count of the indictment rep-
resents the shipment of one car of oil
or other petroleum = products from
Whiting, Ind. It is shown that on
6.428 cars thus shipped. the Standard
paid approximately $847,690 less than
its competitors were required to pay
on the same shipments.
