burials have become commonplace.
"For two years nnd three months I
, have tried to assist the President In
, dealing with tho most momentous ques
tions that have ever come before this .
country, nnd never for one day has the
New York press given mo credit for
honest Intentions.
"I have been the repository of Inter-1
national secrets. representatives of
foreign countries have come to me and
have whispered words Into my ears that,
, If I had told them, might have caused
national calamities. Hut because I
would not take newspaper reporters Into
my confidence and tell them these
secrets, newspapers have denounced me
because I would not surrender myself

' Mr. Hrynii then referred to his arbi

to such a treaty the newspapers put a

they put some slander of inc.
"For more than two years the news
paters kept trying to tell the people
that I ought not to be there, nnd then
when 1 step out they nil ut once find
that I have endangered my country by

tliH newspapers have dully told the Pres
ident how this country ought to be rut1,
but when I signalize my return to pri
vate life by a statement, the news
papers say: 'How dare ho speak on
matters of such great Importance?'"
Then Mr. Hryun explained that If one
wants to get anything right In a news
paper he has to write It out In advance
and hand It out. He said he had a',
abstract of a speech which he would
rend because he wnnted to keep fnlfh
with the newspapers. He begged tho
pardon of the audience while he read It.
He then started on his formul speech.
In the course of It, however, he said
that If the President called for 1,000.
000 men those men would be In arms
before sunset. "Hut." he added. "I think
those l.OoO.OOO men have the right to
say whether there shall be wur.'

Dr. IJmanuel Haruch said In part.
"I nm here to nddress you In the

name of tho mother society, as It were,
of tho 'Now York Peace Society.'

There is Just one country we must care
for that Is America. hat will best

nnd weld together our citizenship, must,
primarily, be our concern.
"To nrouse distrust or suspicion In

but n crime against the State. Hy care

Resolutions Adopted.
Resolutions were adopted by the meet
ing in behalf of u strict neutrality. It
was pointed out that "there is manifest
a sinister determination un the part ot
advocates of the parties In conflict to
Invohe the United States In Its horrors."
The resolution call on the people of the
country to demand the maintenance of
the strictest neutrality. They denounce
the "reckless wur propaganda," "the
treasonable activities of that large sec
tion of the newspaper prei which In
the last six months has done Its utmost
to drag the nation to the brink of war."
The resolutions held that "In Its deal
ings with the Governments of Great
Urltuln and Germany the United States
should Insist on the right of neutral
ships to sail the seas on peaceful er
rands." The resolutions attacked the
argument that the country has not tho
right to prevent the export of arms
and nmmunltlon.
"During nearly a year of war," the
resolutions s.iy, "American manufac
turers of nrms nnd ammunition havo
continued to supply the eight nations
of the British Alliance exclusively with
weapons against three nations of the Teu
tonic alliance. To confess that It would
be unneutral to throw all the belllg-
erants on their own resources, after a
year of exportation. Is to confess a par
tiality which discredits all our profes
sions of neutrality "
The resolutions demand an embargo
on the export of arms and munition of
war to the warring nations.
Congressman Vollmer of Iowa made
a speech which, next to Mr. Bryan',

press." He paid not a word of his
erneech would lie printed In any of the
New York papers this morntng because
they were "unneutral, subsidized and
lolng ull In their power to force a diplo
matic situation which means war with
Germany."
He praised the sinking of tho I.usl-
tania, declaring that "so long as our
Government permits mis unfair traltlc
or arms and ammunition so long will
we German Americans decline to ask
levrmany to spare boats with Ruch car
goes." He ndded that the pnKSonjters
were warned anyhow, und the Germans
Uldnt think the vessel would sink ne.
fore the passengers got off. The sub
marine is uermnny's only weapon ncalnst
Britain's Inhuman food blockade, und
Mime uay the United Stutos may b
called upon to use It for her own sal
vation.
"Germany and the German-Americans
have been the victims of a bias pro
clued by the greatest campaign ot
mendacity eyer seen," ho continued
"Everything said thefc dnva bv an
American citizen of Ocrmnn descent
wems to he taken ut a discount.'
Among tho producers of this bias he
named Col, Henry Wnttetson, whom he
rcierred to us "that picturesque old
ruin," and Pr.sldent-lCmerltus Hllot of
Harvard University, whom he called
"that bloodthirsty president of Hnr
'ard." This last wns greeds! with
clieers nnd cries of "Down with the old
hypocrite I"
There wits only one, thlnir in "iiu.
the curst, off" President Wilson's note
to Germany, he ald, and that was the
offer to Induce Britain to modify her
blockade, He spoke of tho bill ho pre
sented In Congress to put nn embargo
on nrms, saying that If this had gone
through the war would have been over
by now. In conclusion lie said :
"W German Americans, now de
spised and damned, will to a man do our
duty as American citizens If we shall
hnvo to drink the bitter cup to light
In nn uncalled for and unjust war

The doors to tho Garden were np.n,.,l
ul 7 o'clock, but by 7-30 the place wfg
Jnmmed. Insp.-ctoiH from the Fire
Department gave orders that no more
bo ndmltted, and those who arrived at
7:45 found hundreds of pollceiflvn keep-
Ing bnck thousnnds who wanted to get
in.
Hy 8 o'clock easily fifteen thousand
men nnd women thronged Mndlson avo
hue, Twcnty-slih and Twenty-sevunth
streets and Fourth avenue, all bearing
cards of ndmlsslon nnd Insisting that
, they should be admitted to tho Garden.
The inspector unil tm ponce captains
explained that they had no authority
to grunt ndmlsslon nnd they sought by
polite explanation to get tho throng to
move oik
Hut nobody would move. The press
became greater and greater, nnd the
crowds grew and grew. I?y tho time the
Hryan party arrived from the Holland
House the cx-Secretary's tiutomoblle had
to move ut a snail's pace through the
streets. Hut the sight of tho "hero

ing on a llornl decoration sent him,
seemed to gratify the waiting throng.
Flags were waved and voices became
hoarso In expressing approval of Mr,
Hryan's policies.
After .Mr. Hryan had entered tho Onr
den, thousands of the peoplo went nwny.
Mnny who remained assembled at street
corners and listened to orators who
had been enlisted for the purpose of
addressing overflow meetings. Others
gathered In small groups and began to
debate the question of the export of
arms nnd nmmunltlon. Suffragettes at
different spots voiced their protest
against wnr.
Half n dozen Italian organ grinders
arrived to grind out music for the en
tertainment of tho persons who were
disappointed In their efforts to gain
admission to the Garden. Presently the
demonstration Insldo became so loud and
Intenso that tho persons without were
Interested nnd out of sympathy they
set up shouts of approval.
Many thousands waited until the
meeting was over and greeted Mr.
Hrynn as he left tho Gnrdcn, cheering
until he stopped and spoke a few words
.to them.

the published statements' that Commis

"It should be understood that the In.

none or the items uas for food and
Hint of the whole amount only lu.3HJ

largest Item Is K1.000 for wearing ap
parel. "But certainly the needs of the In
mates of the Institutions in this1 re
spect", snld the Comptroller, "could be
sufficiently anticipated so that revenue
bonds could bv asked for nnd secuK-d
well In udvanoe, and In this way uvold
any Illegal purchases."
Commissioner Kingsbury, replying to
the Comptroller's statement, said :
"I could not lot a thousand old men
shiver through the winter without over
coats because the nllownnce provided
oniy ror nrmy ooats or small sizes. When
I discovered I wns without funds in
many of these nccounts the approprlnt-
mg ponies nna adjourned for the sum
mer. I appealed to the Comptroller. He
could help mo enly In finding funds for
the war veterans, So I had to find a
way. I authorized my purchasing ngent
to buy certain of the necessities of life.
"The Comptroller Is right, however, In
saying that there wero some unneces.
eary purchases made In excess of the
budget allowances, but these were not
made with my authority The purchns
Ing agent exceeded the authority which
I gave him. When ' I found this out I
Immediately dismissed the purchasing
