"I have not seen any account of how Bryan takes his defeat, his present position, his view of the election and the ideas his friends have of his future," Eaid a personal friend of William J. Bryan today, one who took a very active part in last year's democratic national campaign. "So here is the situation on all these matters. It is the result ofeareful in quiry, correspondence, travel, personal meetings, and as near as possible, rep resents the most accurate viewa of him elf and his near personal friends at the present time. x "Mr. Bryan," said his friend, "will not be a candidate for the presidential nomination again, but he is determin ed tea Ue democratic nominee in shall be a man who was loyal to him last November, and who is known to hold what Mr. Bryan calls advanced and progressive democratic views. : Is Against Johnson. During the next four years new men end issues are expected to make their appearance, and entirely new political alignment may be expected within the democratic party. At present Mr. Bryan does not look with favor on the presidential aspirations of Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota, or Gov ernor Harmon of Ohio, although re duced to a choice of the last two, the Nebraskan prefers the Ohio executive. "Bryan regards Senator-elect Shive ly of Indiana, as a 'progressive demo crat:' also Senator Chamberlain of Oregon; Governor John Burke and Representative Champ Clark of Mis souri, who is to be democratic leader of the house of representatives at Washington after March 4. - 'Can't 8ee Marshall.

"His income ranges from $60,000 to $80,000 a year. He was badly broken up and bitterly disappointed over his defeat, for which he was unprepared. He has taken the third defeat much harder than any previous reverse in politics. , "To friends he has revealed his be lief that the chief cause of the heavy ote for Taft in large cities was the de fection of Catholic voters.

Jerge, Aleene and Hamilton greatly pleased the audiences that have been at the New Phillips so far this week, with their polite vaudeville entertain ment. It is an act that is slightly above the average and comes with the touches of newness and novelty. The singing and dancing of the team is particularly good. The two actresses have a fancy dance that is ofHhe first order and very pleasing. The Harman Trio portrays rustic wit and humor mixed up with a good deal of acrobatic work of quality. The entree of the act is rather of the unique order and causes a great deal of laughter. If anything is to be gained by the laugh at the beginning, which is the gist of the theatre ad maxim, then this act gets the gain. Burton in his ; monologulst and singing act is good and comes over with a refined line of amusement. Popular song airs with catching par odies, is his forte. "The Royal Chef."

IS, when it is to be given by the H. H. Frazee company with the same attention to details and careful consideration of all the requirements that characterized its unusual success of former years. This musical cock tail was unquestionably one of the big successes of the past few seasons, not alone because of its attractiveness as a production of unusual splendor, but for the reason that it contained many of the most entrancing and original musical numbers that had been beard for many a day. "Madam Butterfly." There has been a splendid advance sale on "Madam Butterfly" which will appear at the Gennett tomorrow even ing. This will be one of the finest productions ever witnessed in Rich mond and should be greeted by a packed house. Rarely is a city of the size of Richmond visited by a grand opera of such a finished character. "The Thief." Teaching a great lesson without be ing preachy, telling a tremendous story in the simplest of ways; that is "The Thief," which is to be seen at the THIRD TRIAL FOR SUIT OF ONLY $15 Went Through Two Justice's Courts and Is Now Up in The Circuit Court. ONLY SIX MEN IN THE JURY THIS IS THE FIRST "ABBREVIAT ED" JURY TRIAL HELD IN THIS COUNTY IN YEARS IS SUIT ON CLAIM. vOQn tlmM thVmiKh ALIBI """r . two justice courts, the case of the Peter Johnson Company vs. Henry Pohlmeyer was heard on appeal in the circuit court today. The suit involves only $15 The regular petit jury was notified last week to appear today, but afterward was told its services would not be needed. This morning, the plaintiff's counsel Will Bond and Frank Conner asked for a jury. One composed of six men was decided up on. lniS IS tne iirsi inai m wuitu only six-jurors have been used that has been heard in the circuit court for years. The defense is represent ed by Wilfred Jessup. The case has had an unusual career for one of apparently so small Im portance. In 1905 the transaction took place which provided the cause for action. Pohlmeyer awarded a con tract in that year to Henry Johan ning to place two furnace pipes in a residence at 104 and 106 South Four teenth street. Johanning sublet the contract to the Peter Johnson Com pany and the work was done. Pohl- mever claims tnat suDsequenuy no - . m Ai t. paid Johanning by check for the work done.

Girl Wounds the Man She Declares Her Mother Forced Her to Wed -Husband Alleged to Be Stepfather, St. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 15. In the shooting, which is expected to result fatally, of William Smith, a carpen ter, here yesterday afternoon, there came to light one of the strangest en tanglement three persons ever lived under. A girl, 22 years old, who shot Smith avers to the police that she married him knowing that her mother was al ready his legal wife. The three have lived for years together, the man as the husband of both. The shooting- occurred over the sending of a comic valentine. The Gennett theater tonight. So many people saw "The Thief" during Its ten months run at the Lyceum theater. New York, that , its fame has spread rapidly and logically. It has helped to put Henri Bernstein to the very front of French dramatists and has al so given him the best of rating in Am erica, England. Russia, Spain, Italy and Sweden, all of which countries have had translations of the play and all of which have acecpted it bodily. What Bernstein figured out of his set of characters in France might I happen anywhere in civilization; hence a play of really universal Interest. V "The Fascinating Widow." Sometimes a comedian furnishes himself a laugh. Otis B. Thayer, who comes to the Gennett theater, matinee and night Feb. 20 in the new musical production "The Fascinating Widow" did recently. It was during the suc cesful run of' the play at .the Majestic theater, New York, that Thayer had been wining and dining. and not un til the hands of the clock pointed to wards 8 p. m., did he realize that he had anything else in the world to do than jsatisfy a healthy appetite and a longing thirst. He grabbed his hat and cane, called a cab and ordered the driver to make a mad dash for the theater. After arriving tttere the actor discovered that he had forgotten to shave, and since his part is that of a smoothfaced New Englander, the ab- sence of beard on thetface was'impera- Incorporation which took over the Car tive.

Wherever the "Top o th' World" has played, the newspapers have com mented enthusiastically upon the -work of the dancers of the chorus. The su periority of their work is accounted for by the fact that all of them were placed under long time contracts when the extravaganza opened in New York. Twelve of the fifteen original dancing girls remain in the company, and they have been playing for eighteen months with only five weeks rest last summer. One of the original girls was compelled to resign on account of Illness and two have married and retired from the stage. that he had paid Johanning. The matter was' first aired in the court of Justice Beyerle. Before the proceedings had gone any distance, however, the case was withdrawn. Next it was entered in Squire Ab bott's court.

Smith, while her mother is known by the name of Mrs. William Smith, sent the carpenter a comic valentine. Smith grew angry when he received it, and after packing up his clothes, started to leave the house. Thinking he was going to desert her the girl shot him. The girl's mother says she married Smith in 1902. Her daughter was by a former husband. A year after their marriage, 6he said her husband had Improper relations with her daughter. She made him marry the girl, she says, without first securing a divorce.

AILUT0 GET TOGETHER ON NEW AGREEMENT Mow for the First Time Inde pendent Car Concerns Will Have. an Opportunity to Of fer AnyRates. Pittsburg, Feb., 16. The ten-year-old lcontractenteredunto between Andrew pCarnegie and the makers of steel cars regarding plates has expired. Efforts of the United States Steel ments since Carnegie made the deal, i have failed to result in a new agree- nsment with the steel car people, and the rmakers of steel cars will go out into ithe open market for their steel plates. For the first time since the street car came into prominence, the inde- pentdents have a chance to offer rates to-car makers, for Carnegie had bound car anakers up with tight agreement as 'to ppates, he, on the -other hand, agree ing not to erect a steel car making plan of his own during the ten years Tne steel corporation has respected this-agreement,but now It has expired the.air Is filled' with rumors. No New Agreement. No secret is made by steel car mak ers tthat they will not sign a. new agree ment at the rate of the one- just closed though that one was on a sliding scale. The-corporation according te Inform ation given out here, wants the car maioers to sign an agreement even higher than the one just closed, and if they don't it is to be Inferred that the corporation will embark in the manu facture of steel cars Itself. The fact that President Corey some time ago announced that the corporation would spend at least $1,000,000 ln-a new plant for car wheels Is taken now to have meant that the corporation would go further if necessary and erept an en tirely new steel car making' plant. It is pointed out in Pittsburg that even though car makers obtain lower rates on steel plates from the Inde pendents, as they say they have al ready done, that the corporation, should It enter the car making field, as It is now in position to do, can fur nish from its own mills plates at a rate much lower than any other car makers can obtain from independents and In this way would be enabled to make the steel cars cheaper than any outside concern can do. Rates Are Asked For. An effort was made on Saturday by both sides to get together on the mat ter, but to no avail, and the contract was allowed to expire. The Pressed Steel Car company and the Standard Steel Car company, which yet virtually control the car making business, have asked rates from the leading independents on plates. Among those who make plates besides the United States Steel Corporation are Jones & Laughlin, the Cambria Steel company, Pennsylvania Steel company, Lukens Iron Works, Lacka wanna Steel company and the Bethle hem Steel company. Unique Cannon. It ts a curious fact that when the Island of Malta was in possession of the Templars those doughty knights defended their forts by means of can non cut into the solid rock. Each of these strange engines of war was ca pable of containing an entire barrel of gunpowder and, it Is said, could throw 10,000 pounds of projectiles. Inas much, however, as these natural can non could not be aimed, fifty were cut out of the rock guarding the various channels of approach, and the vessels of that time were therefore unable to come within their own range before be lag annihilated by the big weapons of defense. ' Although the fame of these cannon was spread far and wide, they were not duplicated elsewhere, and te this day they remain the only rock cannon of which there exists any record.

Rheumatism is not the only ailment for which the possession of a hare foot has been a specific. Mr. Pepys had one as a charm against the colic, but be was never quite sure whether he ought to be grateful to It. At the end of 1664, noting his abnormally good health for some months past, he remarked, "But I am at a great loss to know whether it be my hare's foot or taking every morning a rM.c-f turpen tine or my having left off the wearing of a gown." Three weeks later a friend showed him that his hare's foot was defective, not having "the joint to it" "and it is a. strange thing how fancy works, for I no sooner handled his foot but I became very wen and so continue." Pepys got another hare's foot and thrived again, bat In March we find him still wondering whether this was due to the charm or to the turpentine pilL One Way te Vex Your Hostess.'
