United Press. Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 8. —Wm. J. Bryan will never be a candidate for president again, according to a state ment made by John W. Kern, bis late running mate, at the annual Jackson day banquet tonight of the Young Men’s Michigan Democratic club. Flay ing the Taft administration, Kern also declared that the heads of trusts are in control of white house policies. “Your candidate of two years ago,” said Kern, “will not be a candidate two years hence. It may be a century before another man of his calibre is found again to carry the banner of yonr party.” Kern asserted that special favorit ism, the paramount evil of the ante bellum days, is again responsible for the present evils that harass the ad ministration. He d“clared the demo cratic party would not suffer the in suit of having its next campaign lead ers affiliated with the trust heads that now control the destinies of the Taft regime, and charged that the Taft ship of state is being guided by “A Rich Criminal Organization, Known as the Trusts.” “The trust evils will never be rem- an or Morphine Habit ■ Treated.

Under the head of | “What the President’s Message Means I to Stockdom,” he said: “Now that the people are aroused to the deviltry of the system by which during forty years less than 2000 men have become possessed of more than three-quarters of all the wealth of the whole nation, three things are essen tial to the preservation of the system’s structure. * “First—Railroads must have the privilege of resorting to long delays in meeting any action brought against I them for violation of the interstate | law.

And then having thus dealt monopoly trusts this belly-to-spine cleaver stroke, he dashes at the cavity this bucket of brine pickle tanning: “The only thing feasibly possible is federal incorporation.” “Nothing that could possibly be done will so quickly incinerate monop oly trusts as this bit of political ma chinery which President Taft his in vented. ‘‘l can hardly believe that even President Taft fully talk>s in the all ' powerfulness of this mbnopoly trust buster, for he cannot, aiiy more than his great predecessor.

SITUATION IS INTERESTING Other Powers Favor Scheme and They Can Force Japan and Russia. United Press. Washington, Jan. B.—Although op position from Japan to the proposal of Secretary Knox to neutralize the Man churian railway’s would be received withno surprise, state department of ficials believe that the government will take no decisive stand for many months. Japan has been forecd to show her hand in Manchuria. Knox’s note has been received favorably by the pow ers. Great Britain, Germany and the United States are for the plan. If Japan refuses, it will be an admission that her interest in Manchuria is not confined solely to the development and progress of that region. The note has brought about the most absorbing diplomatic game the far east has witnessed since Japan and Russia were at each other’s throats. With the important powers favoring the ar rangement it is believed that Russia will either be forced to make an agree ment with Japan for the division of the commerce of Manchuria or side with the powers. In the former case there would probably result a more distinct understanding between the disinterest ed governments which would involve a marked change of Oriental policy. Japan cannot afford to incur the enmity of Great Britain, the United States and the other powers by insist ing upon retaining her hold on Man churia through the railroad. She is now in the difficult position of being obliged to declare herself. Japan will probably give up her hold with ex treme reluctance, but inasmuch as she has persistently reiterated that her in terest was confined solely to the com mercial development of the country’, this refusal to join in the scheme of taking the railroad out of far eastern politics wou.d come with bad grace. Even if Secretary Knox’s present scheme does not succeed, it is not certain that the plan will ultimately fail. If Japan refuses, the scheme can be carried out partially by the tak ing over of the other roads by the powers. CLEVELAND GRAYS WILL STOP OFF HERE 124 Soledad Street Famous Militia Company to Spend Day in San Antonio Eli Route to Mexico. J. B. Carrington, secretary’ of the Chamber of Commerce, has received a communication from the Cleveland Grays of Cleveland, Ohio, saying that some 150 members of that organization with their families and friends would visit, San Antonio Friday, January 28, while en route to Mexico and would spend the day in the city. The Cleveland Grays is one of the oldest military organizations in the country, having organized in 1837, and is therefore hearly three-quarters of a century old. It was formed in Cleve land as the City Guards and a few months later the name was changed to the Cleveland Grays Their ambition was to excel, and as early at 1840, when they escorted General Harrison from Fort Meigs to Cleveland, their repu tation for perfection in drill and disci pline extended throughout the middle ROCK ISLAND MI APPOiNTS OffICIMS L.

GERMAN PILOI BUILDS FLYING MACHINE HERE Henry Yungblut Arrives With Working Model of Biplane That Flies, TO GIVE TEST OF BIG CAR Claims It Will Rise Straight Up From Ground and Alights Like a Bird. Henry Yungblut, who has brought a working model of his asroplane to San Antonio to give practical demonstra tions, has been experimenting for years with flying machines in France, Ger many, China and the United States. His invention is-an automatic, heavier than air, biplane with safety double parachutes. He has with him a work ing model of this aeroplane which he has flown successfully. It is six feet long and weighs about ten pounds; is a perfected machine and is successfully driven by its own power. It will rise straight up from the ground by the driving power of its propellers and in case the motor stops, it can be safely controlled and alights to the earth like a bird. This is accomplished through the safety parachutes carried by the machine. Mr. Yungblut claims that a large machine built after his model will car ry two passengers, or about 300 pounds, beside the weight of the motor. The model is euipped with an air brake that if similarly placed on a large two pas senger aeroplane would stop the ma chine within a distance of 450 feet while going at a speed of from 40 to 50 miles an hour. The parachutes auto matically spread themselves the instant the motor stops. The biplane is equip ped with two automatic wings that preserve its equilibrium when it is trav eling in a high wind so that if one side becomes higher than the other the auto matic device raises the lower side to the same level. Has Filed Two Patents. This machine is known as the Yung blut Red Star mechanical automatic aeroplane at the patent bureau in Wash ington and since its successful demon stration with the working model, two patents have been tiled by Yungblut protecting his invention. When he was asked about the extent of the work in aeroplane experiences, Mr- Yungblut said: “I was born in Lorrane, France, and educated in French and German schools in Saarbrucken, Germany. I made a special study of mechanics for two years while I was in school. After leaving school I served three years in ' the Aeronaut company of the German army, spending one and a half years of this time in China. While in the aeronautical service of the German army I carried on extensive experi ments with all manner of aeroplanes and balloons and am a licensed pilot of the German government. After leav ing the German service I returned to Paris and in 1903 witnessed the first aeroplane flight of Santos Dumont. Shortly after this I came ta America and was employed as a tool and dye maker in one of the largest steel ruf fing works in Chicago. Since then I have been to France and returned three times studying the various types of flying machines of the world. In 190* I saw Bleriot and De La Grange, made their acquaiutanse and was a witness to several important experiments carried on by them with aerial craft. I made an ascent, with Bleriot in his mono- Hane at Rheims as his mechanic ou three different occasions. In 1908 I de veloped my idea of au automatic aero plane and have made and experimented successfully my complete working merking model. My machine was made by myself from working drawings and blueprints made by me. I came to this city from Chicago, where I made my automatic aeroplane model. “I wil demonstrate the practicability of my aeroplane to the public of this city. I want to build a large, full-sized aeroplane after my working model, which is now on exhibition at 230 East Commrce street.” It’s Better To Drink POSTUM NOW Than to wish you had after coffee has undermined the health. • Ten days’ trial will convince anyone that “ There’s a Reason ” for POSTUM Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.

SWITCHMEN’S STRIKE HINGES ON J LETTEfI Communication to President Hawley From Washington May Be Deciding Factor. 21 UNIONS READY TO QUIT Northwestern Railroad Man 3O Per Cent of Men Would Not Respond. United Press. Minneapolis. Minn., Jan. B.—At the end of the seventh week of the switch men’s strike the situation appeared to night to hinge on the receipt of a let ter from H. B. Perham, whose mission to Washington failed of definite result. Frank T. Hawley, president of the switchmen, would O. K. ns statement until the letter was received and up to midnight it had not arrived. Per ham, in a statement in Washington, advanced the idea that the machinists ou the Northwestern railroads might I become involved, and Thomas Van 1 Leer, chairman of the machinists' or ganization, said that 21 unions had al ready voted t 0 strike if so ordered. Sueh an order would affect 1600 men in the northwest. In St. Paul the order would affect 220 men and in Min neapolis 230. The callirfg of the long threatened strike of the affiliated organizations is up to Perham. The contents of his let ter, however, can only be guessed at in advance, except that it will tell the labor side of the negotiations in Wash ington which were abruptly terminated. It was said at the office of Wm. Wrattan. master mechanic of the Mil waukee railroad, that probably 30 per cent of the men would not respond to an order to strike. The Soo shdps re ported that the machinists had talked over the matter and that all will go out if a strike order be issued. The Minneapolis & St. Louis shops take the view that •probably all the machinists will go out. P. J. Flannery, interna tional president of- the freight han I lers’ union, was expected in the city tb night, but up to midnight had not ar rived. The situation in the grain and mill ing trades is said to be improving steadily from the standpoint of the ability of the railroads to handle tho business. Today the order issued De cember 30, limiting the number of cars that could be delivered to the Minne apolis & Eastern railroad for the mill ing district, was withdrawn and at the same time the Great Northern notifvl shippers that its grain-loaded ears wi.l not be permitted to go forward on re consignment.

Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes Barre, Pa., writes: “I used to drink strong coffee myselr, and suffered greatly from headaches and indigestion. While on a visit to my brother’s I had a good chance to try Postum Food '..Coffee, for they drank it altogether in place of ordinary cof fee. In two weeks after using Postum I was much benefited and finally my headaches disappeared and also the indigestion. “Naturally I have since used Pos tum among my patients, and have no ticed a marked benefit when coffee has been left off and Postum used. “I observed a curious fact about Fostum when used among mothers. It greatly helps the flow of milk in eases where eoffee is inclined to dry it up, and where tea causes nervousness. “I find trouble in getting servants tc make Postum properly. They mostl always serve it before it has beenl boiled long enough. It should be boil ed 15 to 20 minutes after boiling be gins and served with cream, when it is certainly a delicious beverage.” Read “The Road to Wellville.” in pkgs.
