I Democrats Have Made Extensive Preparations to Welcome Peerless Leader of the Party.
DEMOCRATS COME FROM ALL PARTS iBryan Excoriated Beveridge and Roosevelt at Fort Wavne Last Evening in a Bitter Attack.

The Coliseum has been artistically decorated foPLthisr:eveniii.-jrTie'arri rangements committee, headed by Webster Parry and Joseph Walterman was buBy all day perfecting the seating arrangements and beautifying the hall. A large picture of the "peerless leader" has been placed on the wall back of the center of the platform. Bryan comes to Richmond to fulfill jone date of a speaking itinerary that Sill carry him through Indiana and see im in almost all the important cenP ers of population in the state. Assail Beveridge. At Fort Wayne yesterday, Bryan Rook occasion to excoriate Albert J. Beveridge, Progressive candidate for governor. In speaking of Beveridge he said: h'There are three ways to judge Bevridge, the reformer. One is by the ength of his service in tne cause qf eform, another is by the depth of his ttachment to the reform, and the jthird isby his attitude toward other ireforms. Measured by any of these (tests, neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. (Beveridge deserves to be counted as a peader or as a Progressive, if Progresisiveness stands for anything of real palue. Calls Both Tardy. I "In point of time they have both been tardy. If you look back at the peTiod covered by the public life of both iRoosevelt and Beveridge you will find (that the predatory interests have enjjoyed a Belshazzar's feast. They have rioted in power and In plunder. Roosejvelt and Beveridge have not only had (the chance of knowing exactly what was going on, but they have been in the very center and where they could observe not only the spoiling of a people, but the corruption of a governonent. "Instead of speaking out, they have been worse than silent. They have teen the daily associates and the bosom friends of the beneficiaries of privilege and favoritism. More than that, (they have, themselves, been the beneilciaries. The offices which they have Jield have been given to them by the men who had their hands in the pockets of a nation and by bosses subservient to these men. "As to the depths of their attachment to reform, a man's devotion to a cause is shown by his willingness to iPuffer for it. not by his willingness to profit by it. What remorse have Roosevelt and Beveridge shown for their Jong association with the plutocrats? Whenever Mr. Roosevelt and Beveridge are ready to turn completely and permanently from associations with ;the despoilers of a nation they can jliot but love those who espouse the people's cause." EVIUDDY STREETS CAUSE ACCIDENTS The muddy condition of the streets rwas responsible for several automoibile accidents today. On the corner jof South Seventh and C streets, the machine of Richard Cutter skidded as be attempted to turn east on C from Seventh. The rear wheel was broken ; and the axle bent. y Dr. Stephen C. Markley attempted I to make the same turn and ran his (machine across the sidewalk on C street before he rounded the corner. LJiia machine was not damaged.

THREE SITES FOR WESTjSESCHOOL Improvement Association Insists that School Board Keep Its Promise. fThe Richmond city school board will confer with the West Side Improvement association this evejnjregajding the location of a new school building on the west side of the Whitewater river, j Members of the association say they will insist that the board make a definite proposal and that they will not be satisfied with the mere promises that have been made perennially for the last five years. Three sites for the building will be considered. Two of them are on opposite corners of the Abington pike and South West E street, and the other is a two-square long plat on South West Fourth street between C and D streets. All the sites are south of the National Road and the latter is the selection of the West Side Improvement association. The association this evening will also take action on the condition of the National road. The owners of real estate on this thoroughfare say they paid for a dustless tarvia road, but that they are now enjoying a dustless street covered with two inches of sand placed there by the contractor when herolled the highway. Members of the association assert that the city must remove the two inches of sand which causes a tremendous amount of dust in dry weather and makes the thoroughfare a sea of liquid mud in wet weather. No fault is found with the improvement, but property owners say the dustless feature of the street is lost sight of in the covering of sand. TO DISCUSS CODE Council Will Discuss Building Code Next Monday. The disappearance of the proposed building code for Richmond will be brought up at the council meeting next Monday. The question will be agitated because some councilmen believe the new five and ten cent store now in the course of construction on Main street ought to conform in height with the other buildings on that side of Main street. There is no clause in the proposed code which regulates how high a man must build a structure. It states positively what requirements are necessary within the ire limits regarding material used. It also regulates the construction of frame houses to such an extent that it will cost more to build one. The code was presented to the council and the Commercial club in June 1812, and Mayor Zimmerman believed a special council should be devoted to its consideration. The meeting was never called and the matter will be resurrected Monday evening. In the opinion of some councilmen it will be necessary to change the measure so that a poor man can build a house with his means. THE WEATHER STATE Local rains tonight or Sat urday. Colder Saturday.

GAVE HIS LEG
AND
HIS LMJO GIRL Newsboy Hero of Gary Succumbs After Losing Leg for Skin Grafting. (National News Association) GARY. Ind., Oct. 18. William Rugh, a crippled newsboy who deliberately sacrificed'a' leg so that the skin could be taken from it and used for grafting purposes to save the life of a girl, died in the hospital here today, despite the untiring efforts of surgeons the' past three weeks to save the life of the modest little hero. The newsboy walked on his crutchta from his npwn stand to the hospital and commanded the physicians to cut 6ff his crippled leg so the skin covered sufficiently to leave the hospital. The patient's lungs were so conj jested last night that he found it dif- ( ncurt to Dreatne. ie attempiea to talk to his nurse, but failed. The best he could do in the way of communicating with the nurse was to smile. I Although he realized he was in grave danger Rugh found no difficulty in smiling. Comfort in Note and Bouquet. Within reach was a note from j Miss Smith and a bouquet. Rugh seemed to be well entertained in reading the note and re-arranging the flowers. He managed to whisper a few words, but was advised to make no effort at talking. "I dont care as long as she gets well," he whispered. Rugh's temperature at 8 o'clock was 102 Vi and his pulse 100. When the report spread through the town that the newsboy hero's condition was critical the hospital was besieged with visitors, anxiously inquir ing for his condition. The hospital , telephone was kept busy i long. all night It is now about three weeks since Miss Smith, a Garysociety girl, met with the accident which would have caused her death but for Rugh's heroism. She was riding on a motorcycle with her fiance when the gasoline tank exploded. Her body was burned so badiy that physicians said she would die unless extensive skin grafting was done.

Chicago Publisher Says Taft!
Leader Is of the Class Whose Sayings Influence Violent Deeds. SHOCKS COMMITTEE BY HIS STATEMENT Witness Also Says that Offi cials of the Harvester Trust Are Either for Taft Wilson. or (National News Aesoctatlon) WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. Medlll McCormick, of Chicago, manager of the Western headquarters of the Progressive party today submitted to the senatorial committee investigating campaign contributions a statement showing that the cost of the Roosevelt campaign in Illinois was defrayed by Col. Chauncey M. Dewey and himself. Mr. McCormick read part of his prepared statement as follows: "As far as I know the cost of the Roosevelt campaign in Illinois was defrayed by Col. Dewey and myself. I jgave Col. Dewey $16,000 and in addi tion l gave not to exceed JIO.OUU ior the maintenance of the Chicago headquarters. I looked after the campaign in the Ninth district myself and I personally expended another $2,500 in this district, as I felt it necessary because the district had been conceded to Taft." Within a few moments after he started to read this statement Mr. McCormick was called" to order by the committee and portions of his statements expunged from the records because of the strong language which it contained. He Attacks Hides. Mr. McCormick In denying that he and his friends owned any stock in the Harvester company characterized Charles D. Hilles of the Republican na tional committee, as a "character as sassin and liar of the kind whose say ings incite weak minded men to assas sination." "That reference has no place here," said Chairman Clapp, "and will be expunged in the record." Mr. McCormick asserted that the International Harvester company officials and directors be called to prove his statements. He then stated that hls contributions and those of his perj Bonai irienas in tne pre-convention fight in Illinois amounted to consider ably less than $10,000. Chairman Clapp asked, "do you know how much any member of the McCormick family contributed to the Wilson campaign?" One branch of the family is sin gularly discreet about contributions and Cyrus McCormick refused to al low me to state that he was for Wilson," said the winess. Mr. McCormick declared he could not testify to reputed contributions that the brothers, sisters and mother of Cyrus McCormick had made to any candidate. "I know only that two cousins of mine and the two Deering brothers who are members of the Harvester company are opposed to Colonel Roosevelt, and that it was abseurd to say that the Harvester trust is supporting the colonel, he said. Wants Wilson As Witness. McCnrmiok tnlri the unatnra (hat he would like to see Woodrow Wilson placed on the stand to prove his assertion that the Harvester trust is supporting Roosevelt, and he would like to have the entire directory of the Harvester company summoned as witnesses., While McCormick was testifying a letter was presented to the committee from Joseph H. Call, special attorney in the suit filed against the Southern Pacific railroad In California to annul a 99 years lease. This letter absolutely denied the statements made by Judge Robert Lovett, chairman of the executive committee of the Southern Pacific that the suits were dismissed bv fh rnvommant in lid; ! nine years before the contribution made by Harriman to the Roosevelt campaign.
