SOCUS. Students were So Boisterous that he was Glad to Get Away. ANN ARBOR, Mica., Thursday. W. J. Bryan was here this afternoon and spoke from the court house steps to a crowd made up mostly of Repub licans and as is usual at all political speeches here, he was barely heard to say a half dozen words. The students gathered in the court house yard and when the band arrived at the head of the Bryan club who car ried parasols, they made a rush for them and half an hour later not a par asol remained. Six students were ar rested and runio. Then a rush start ed for the policeman but as Bryan ap peared at that time the crowd remain ed and cheered for McKinley. Not a Bryan yell could be heard and for awhile it looked as if he would not be able to talk. When he finally succeed ed in getting quiet he began by saying “If I were an imperialist, I would call out the army and suppress you, but I am not an imperialist.” This didn't set well, so for another ten minutes there was so much yelling he could not speak. Then Bryan appealed to them to let him talk even though the stu dents did not believe as he did. He said he was down on the corporations and trusts and that all the law stu dents ought to be because they could not all be corporation lawyers. He attempted to explain the trusts—the ice trust and the cotton trust—but as he was not able to do this satisfactori ly to the students he was not allowed to proceed further for a time. Then he spoke on the standing army and the Philippines with no remedy for either the trusts or the Filipino When the silver question was men tioned he avoided this and thanked the people and was evidently glad to get away from here as he remarked when leaving that we already had enough.
