However, they may be underestimating the strength of the Bryanltes.

It would not be surprising If they should "rise up and i take a whack at Chairman Keach and Holtzman, the candidate jfor mayor, as both Keach and Holtz-man were red-hot anti-Bryan men la the last two national campaigns.

This is prob- ably true. The automobile habit seems to have a deep hold on the city. One meets them and generally much to his fright, everytime he attempts to cross A a street, yet a man who has gated says there are not more than two hundred autos in Indianapolis. However, that number seems like 2,000, as the machines flit, by so fast that one has an idea there Is an end- less chain somewhere. It Is said that over fifty in Indianapolis have mortgaged their- homes for the pur-p pose of buying machines, which shows how deeply the habit has struck.

One Karrowly Missed the Captain While One of the Crew Waa 8erlously Erie, Aug. 13. -The Silver Spray, a fishing boat owned; here.

came into port last a badly shattered condition, due to. an encounter in midlake about noon with the Canadian revenue cutter Petrel. The Canadian authorities have had trouble with American fishermen 'fofears who were poaching on their -side of the lake and the Petrel is kept constantly on the lookout for About noon she came upon the Sil ver Spray on the Canadian side of the lake and at once ordered Captain Chrit Chau to stop. The Petrel- is -a strong Bteel craft and it is said attempted to ram the American boat be fore she could comply with' the Petrel's order. Captain Chau, remembering the fate of several other boats from this side, which had been captured and confiscated," twoTromErle "only last season, decided to try to escape and started ahead at full speed.

The captain of the Petrel when he saw that the Silver Spray was trying to get away, opened fire all the guns ne had on board, and before he ceased firing some twenty shots.had struck the Silver Spray. One passed through the smokestack into the pilot house In which Chan stood at the wheel and two more struck the pilot house, one of which came within a few inches of Chau, scattering splinters around his head. Two shots entered the water closet, two pierced the cabin, two split the roof, three swept the after-hurricane deck, others "hit various parts of the boat The chasewas "kept np for-some time and Captain Chau was nearly in despair, as his cold water pump re fused to work and he feared that his boat might be struck below the water line. He finally crossed the international line and the Petrel gave up the pursuit The Silver Spray is a double- decker and was for twelve years In service at Buffalo as a pleasure steamer. The only man injured on the Silver Spray was Frederick Culver, who was hit in the Jeg by a shot.

He Is now In the hospital. The fishermen say the Petrel used her small deck cannon. Captain Chau will report the affair to the state department at Washington, as he says he was not fishing, but looking for some of his nets which had drifted from this side toward the Canadian shdre. A large number of American fishing tugs have been confiscated by the Canadian government, one however, belonging at Duskirk, was a few days ago ordered returned by Secretary 6I State Hay.
