CONCLUSION JUMPED AT
BY CANDIDATE BRYAN
Why He Thought the Steel Trust Was
Aidinq Taft
He Had Never Heard Any Prominent Republican Say
Anything Against the Corporation ami It Had
Never Been Dragged Into the Courts.
New York. Sept. 18. William J.
Bryan arrived this afternoon and
proceeded at once to the Hoffman
House. At Jersey City he was be-sit-gid
by newspaper men who want
ed him to elaborate his charges made
yesterday at Harrington, Delaware,
and a sain last night at Wilmington,
that officials of the United States
Steel Corporation Were supporting
the republican party in the cam
paign. In reply to the question, "Does
your charge that the republican par
ty is protecting the steel trust ex
tend to the chief executive?" he said:
"I stated what everybody knows
that the steel trust has not been
prosecuted and no prominent re
publican lias said anything against
it. I have said the steel trust is
supporting the republican ticket and
that the republican national commit
tee will not dare to publish before
the election the contributions which
they will receive from the officials
of the steel trust. Mr. Sheldon vir
tually udmits this in an interview
in the New York Herald. He is j
treasurer of the committee, and as
I understand it, a director of a con- I
stituent corporation of the steel trust, j
He is quoted as saying: 'If a mem
ber of the executive committee or an I
officer of the T'nited States Steel ;
Corporation wishes to support the re- 1
publican party, has he not the same i
right as any other individual?'"
Mr. Bryan said in the interview
that he was satisfied that in the
event of his election no legitimate
interest would be jeopardised or suf
fer. He declared he had never en
dorsed Roosevelt, but had criticised
him when he thought him wrong,
ai d commended him when he thought

the preslednt was right, and had done
this without waiting to see whether
his ai tions were popular or not.
"Some of Mr. Roosevelt's policies,"
said Mr. Bryan, "are popular in the
west and some are unpopular. And
the popular ones are those which
have been borrowed from the demo
cratic party."
Mr. Bryan said the tide was run
ning in favor of the democratic party.
John Redmond, the Irish leader,
called on Mr. Bryan today.
So large a crowd filled Broadway,
intent on seeing Mr. Bryan when
he arrived at the rooms of the Com
mercial Travelers League at noon,
that the police had difficulty in forc
ing a way for the candidate's auto
mobile through the demonstrative
throng.
Bryan at a mass meeting held un
der the auspices of Tammany Hall
spoke before the enthusiastic thous
ands who filled- Carnegie hall and
overflowed into the streets. The
ovation accorded to the candidate
was a brilliant climax to the day
in which the united party paid Mr.
Bryan a continuous reception. Mr.
Bryan spoke for more than an hour
on "Republican Tendencies" at the
Carnegie hall.

THOUGH SLOW
IT'S STEADY
The Improvement of Busi
ness Conditions
Confidence Though Has
Crown Faster Thau the
Expansion.i
New York, Sept. IS. R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: "The gradual improvement in
the commercial situation is encourag
ing although the volume of trade has
not expanded "in proportion to the
growth of confidence. The resumption
of work at the manufacturing plants is
the best evidence of progress, and the
unemployed is steadily though slowly
diminishing.
"The steel mills have more business
In sight, although it is believed that
many large undertakings will not be
closed until after the election. Plans
are numerous, however, and much of
the contemplated Work will material
ize." A CONFIRMATION.
New 'York, Sept. IS. Bradstreet's
review tomorrow will say: "Business
in general has experienced further
moderate improvement in jobbing as
well as in wholesale lines. Fall trad
ing has reached the maximum at some
cities and most out of town merchants
have left the large centers for home.
"Though state fairs and fall carni
vals are attracting visitors to various
sections, thus enlarging the volume of
trade, on the whole, purchases have
been confined chiefly to staples and no
more than actual needs have been fill
ed. Therefore sales have been consid
erably below those of last year at this
season."

New York, Sept. 18. The stock mar

fected during the week. The pressure
was lightened and the requirement of
short interest left uncovered was suf
ficient to cause some rally. The toni
was unsettled and uncertain and the
movement of prices straggling and
mixed to an unusual degree. Develop
ments outside of the technical specula
tive position of the market were not
important except for an easier tone in
the rates for call money.

WHOLESALE POISONING
BY A GARELESS NURSE
The Mystery of the San Diego County Hos
pital Case Cleared Up
An Investigation Following the Death of Three Fa
tients Brought a Confession That She Had Lett a
Poisonous Draught In a Water Pitcher.
San Diego, Sept. IS Three deaths
have already resulted from the care
lessness of Mary Arthur, 19-year-old
nurse at the county hospital. a fourth
is expected and four others are ser
iously ill though their illness is not
expected to be fatal. The dead are:
J. Young, Charles Kemp and Henry C.
Shuette. A Fisler is not expected to
live and Captain A. Paulsen, B. Fisler.
George King and Mr. Penn are serious
ly ill.
All were taken sick yesterday after
noon and evidence of poison was so
great that an investigation was start
ed, ending finally in the confession by
Miss Arthur that she had neglected to
throw out some water in which there
was a quantity of atrophine, and that
these patients had got hold of it with
their medicine. She realized her mis
take as soon as they became ill, but
did not confess her error until the in
vestigation had brought the deaths al
most home to her.
Young died about midnight. Kemp
early this morning and Suette at 8
o'clock. Miss Arthur is in a state of
nervous collapse, but is being watched
at the hospital.
The manner in which the poisoning
occurred is thus explained in a state
ment made by Miss Arthur, the nurse
An atrophine solution had been made
yesterday morning by Miss Arthur.
This solution was used to dilate the
eyes of one of the patients, shortly
after making the solution Miss Arthur
left the ward in response to a call to
assist in an operation. She left the
solution in a water pitcher. It is sup
jjosed that some one came through the
ward and noticing that there was not
much water in the pitcher filled it up.
When Miss Arthur returned to the
ward she thought the solution had been
thrown away and that the pitcher had
been filled with clean water.
Several of the patients, laboring un
der an impression that the pitcher con
tained pure water, poured themselves
drinks. Miss Arthur used the water
from the pitcher in administering med
icine to several patients and also gave
some patients drinks from the pitcher.
When the patients became ill she real
ized that the solution had not been
thrown away but held her silence on
account of fear of the results. With
the death of the first patient. District
