J. Cosgrove, A. C. Malone and Thomas Grace and fined $10 and costs by Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning. Attorney P. F.

On whose complaint Jacobs was ar- rested it is not known. but Traffic Officer Cosgrove denied that he lcdged a complaint against the young man. The officer testified that at 6:30 o’clock last Friday evening Jacobs went past him at the junciion of Main and East Main streets at a slow rate of speed. In front of Keeney's were 300 people swarmed in the road watching an actor. As Jacobs went by him Officer Cosgrove declared he remarked: “watch me give them a scare.” He told him not to drive through the crowd and the next | minute he heard a shout and saw the crowd scamper Jacobs went through it. as be declared Jacobs was .driving reck- lessly.

GERMAN SPY HAD AMERICAN PASSPORT \ Robert Rosenthal; Arrested in Lon- | don, Posscssed Legal U. S. Document Issued by Embassy at Berlin. London, June 9.—Robert Rosen- thal, who confessed to being a Ger- man spy, sent to England by the German admiralty, after his arrest | here saturday, had in his possession at the time he was apprehended ‘a passport issued at the American ém- bassy in Berlin. There is no evidence [that the passport was forged. The seal is’ genuine and in other respects i the passport is regular. According to | his own admission ' Rosenthal never | was an American citizen. Information' gathered here ‘as the result of an inquiry conducted by the American embassy indicates that Rosenthal went to the Berlin em- bassy accompanied by several friends, one of whom was an American citizen. Rosenthal is said to have sworn false- ly that he was an American citizen, his statement being attested by his ! companions. He was thergupon given a temporary passport. No further steps will be taken by the embassy here, as it has been es- tablished that Rosenthal is not an American citzen. Any further action which may be taken to investigate Rosenthal’'s method of procuring a passport will be left to the Berlin em- bassy.

A Cc BRYAN'S CAREER IS | VERY SPECTACULAR Life Devoted to Politics, Lecture | Platform and Peace ' ‘Washington, June 9.—William Jen- nings Bryan's resignation as secretary of state because of a question of prin- ciple at a critical moment in the na- tion’s history added another sensation to a spectacular career—a life devot- ed to arduous political campaigning, | the lecture platform @nd the cause of universal peace. Attracting attention when he went to congress, in 1891, he leaped into prominence at once with a speech that electrified his audience. The tall, ! lanky Westerner had early earned the ! name of “Boy orator of the Platte.” His famous “Cross of gold and crown | of Thorns" speech in 1896 at the psy- chlogical moment in the democratic convention won for him the nomina- tion for the presidency. When the Spaish-American war broke out he enlisted and went to the front as col- | onel of a regiment he helped to form. | On his return he again came into prominence at the democratic con- vention of 1900 and throughout his | campaign against McKinley advocat- | ed the granting of independence to the Philippines and a policy of “anti- imperialism.” Acclaimed “Peerless Leader.” Notwithstanding his political de- feats he was acclaimed as the "beer-l less leader” of democracy and was supported by a large personal follow- | ing. He made speeches in nearly | every city and town in the country ! and his bitter polical fights with fac- tions in many states kept him in the forefront of public attention, always | dramatically and in circumstances of vivid nation-wide interest. When Mr. Bryan returned from a trip around the world in 1910 and was greeted by a great crowd in Madison Square Garden his speech advocating government ownership of railways stirred up a sensation in democratic politics. It was shortly after this that Woodrow Wilson, then president of Princeton university, wrote - the famous letter to Adrian Joline, declar- ing that the speech made him feel that Mr. Bryan “ought to be knocked into a cocked hat.” Switched to Wilson. The record of Mr. Wilson as gov- ernor of New Jersey in advocating progressive legislation attracted Mr. Bryan to him and. he visited the gov- ernor at his Princeton home. Al- though instructed as a delegate for Champ Clark, Mr, Bryan caused an- other sensation at the Baltimore con- vention in 1912 by his fight on the Tammany leaders of the New York delegation. He switched his support to Mr. Wilson at a critical moment, a circumstance to which has been ascribed Mr Wilson's nomination as well as the birth of a personal feud with Champ Clark. During the national campaign of 1912, Mr. Bryan made many speeches for Mr. Wilson, principally in the far West. The two men met for the first time during the campaign at Lincoln, Neb., when they spoke from the same platform several times and received a tremendous ovation. Later Colonel E. M. Housé, a mutual personal friend, brought them together on the subject of the secretaryship of state, a place which Mr. Wilson felt.he owed to Mr. Bryan because of the latter’s position in the democratic party. Lecturing and Pojitics. ‘While holding the portfolio of sec- retary of state Mr. Bryan has con- tinued in the public eye, not alone through his official acts, but his devo- ticn to two things—Ilecturing and poli- tics. One of the first sensations of his official career was his announce- ment that grape juice would be sub- stituted for alcoholic beverages when- ever he entertained members of the diplomatic corps. His statement that $12,000 a year was not sufficient for | a cabinet officer and that he, there- | fore, must lecture to earn more money was another episode whicn drew forth comment around the world. He Ais- 1egarded mewspaper criticism, declar- ing he had never absented himself | when official business . required his presence in Washington. His letter concerning the distribution of patron- age in San Domigo to ‘“deserving | democrats” Wwas another incident widely discussed. Mr. Bryan’s opposition to the nomi- ration- of Roger Sullivan of Illinois ond his activity in other primary hts continued after his official entification with the Wilson admin- istration. His editorials in his news- | paper, the “Commoner,” on prohbi- | tion and woman suffrage, the signing of thousands of pledges In temperance nieetings where he spoke and his advocacy of these issues irrespective of the attitude of silence of President Wilscon, have furnished political gossip over his future pians and am- Litions. | PerfectHeatRegulation Means Perfect Baking HE cook makes no mistakes in baking bt-.c:msc‘sh[; doesn’t have to guess about the exact degree of heat in the oven.
