REPORT THAT BRYAN
IS TO QUIT DENIED
Bristow and Ashurst Clash Dur
ing Debate and Each Hurls
Sensational Charges.
WASHINGTON. July 18. Secy, of
State Jirjan expressed himself as
highly nmiNl Friday over reports
tirre.it on the New York stock ex
change that he was ahout to retire.
'I wouldn't like to buy stock on
such a rumor as that;" added Atty.
lien. McHeynoUU, who was with llry
nn at the time. The white Iioumj
made an aholute denial of the report
that the president was about to re
quest JJryan's resignation.
WASHINGTON. July IS. Charges
that he used public money in paying
private telegraph tolls were made
against senator Ashurst
in the senate Friday
Uristow, of Konsas.
The charge ramo as
of Arizona,
by senator
a climax to
llrlstow'a determined attempts to de
bate his resolution calling on the.
president for his opinion of the prop
i er salary of a secretary of state. The
The resolution was tabled, but Uristow
refused to be squelched.
Then Ashurst demanded to know
whether Uristow had always main
tained that a public ollicial should
devote himself solely to his ollicial
duties. Receiving an aflirmative
answer, the Arizonan produced a let
ter, dated in lOOtf and written by
Uristow to then senator Long, of
Kansas, suggesting his (Uristow's) ap
; pointment to a position in Panama
which would enable him to live half
the time in Kansas.
Launches his Charge.
Uristow promptly admitted author
ship of the letter but denied it was
inconsistent with his position on tho
Uryan matter. Then Uristow, lean
ing toward Ashurst shouted:
"Rut I have never sent $100 worth
of telegrams on private business at
the public's expense."
"If the senator means to Insinuate
that I have used used telegraph wires
'improperly he insinuates what is
"baseless ond without foundation,"
Ashurst asserted.
"The- senator from Arizona has
carried on private correspondence at
the public expense and has charged
his telegrams to tho government,"
Ashurst insisted.
The Rristow-Ashurst fight over
shadowed a bitter attack on Uryan
made by senator Townsend of Michi
gan shortly before.
Townsend i Hitter
"Mr. Uryan rays fie is selling his
time, energies and talents to private
organizations because his olTlcial
salary Is not enough for him to live
upon" said Townsend.
"lie is receiving $12,000 a year. In
the government service there are
thousands of employes who receive
less than one-tenth of that sum, and,
these days of high living, lind it pos
sible to live within their income. Not
one of these thousands, however, is
permitted to abandon his post and
sell his time to others as Mr. Uryan
has done for his action."
Townsend gives a long list of im
portant problems before the state de
partment and declared that Rryan's
action in this situation "comes as a
shock to all thoughtful people," and
was "even more inexcusable" In view
of the fact that Uryan "cannot have
became familiar with his duties."
"The secretary of state." he said,
"is the most Important executive office
of the government below the presi
dent. He should be the first example
of faithful, intelligent devotion to
dutv."

doomed to defeat In Indiana, he and

"You don't need to look for mo;
you won't find me, for by 6 o'clock I
will be 100 mils from here."
Bearing these words a note was
found shortly after 6 o'clock Friday

ing. "And tell the doctor not to come any

heard moving around in his room by
the family of John Jacobs, who liv
on the iirst lloor, and the police we: j
called. They broke in the door and

CABARET DANCING IS NO

CHICAGO, July IS. Naughty ca
baret performers whose raiment, or
lack of it aroused the, ire of Mayor
Harrison, broke even in the first hear
ing before, a council committee on the
mayor's ordinance to compel dancers
to '"be fully dressed."
Two leading hotels favored the or
dinance. "Cabaret dancing is no worse than
any other kind," said Atty. Francis
Wilson, representing the Hotel Sher
man and an amusement park. "If
stago dancers can wear tights, why
not cabaret performers? My clients,
however, would not object to an or
dinance barring turkey-trotting."
STRIKE MAY BE
GULLED AT ONCE
Heads of Railroaders Tell Men
to be Ready for Walkout Or
der at Any Hour Now.
NEW YORK, July IS. Presidents
Garretson and Lee Friday afternoon
ordered all local leaders to remain
within calling distance in case a sud
den decision should be made to call a
strike of the conductors and trainmen
of the 42 eastern railroads.
With the trainmen highly incensed
over what they declare has been a
trick played upon them by the rail
roads, and threatening to call off all
present arbitration proceedings, pri
vate citizens who have interested
themselves in the situation, succeed
ing in getting the beard of managers
of the roads to meet them Friday aft
ernoon to discuss the charges made
by the conductors and trainmen.
The trainmen declare In their let
ter that the railroads in insisting
upon arbitration of their own griev
ances at this time, could have select
ed no surer wey of driving tho men
from the service.
The sincerity of the roads is ques
tioned by the. employes, who point
out that prior to the mediation con
ference w-ith the president la.st Mon
day no intimation was given by the
roads that they purposed to air their
demands before the federal arbitra
tion body. The present attitude of
the roads is characterized in the let
ters as "a llagrant violation of
faith".
Mail Copy to President.
Copies of the letter that the train
men submitted to t"ie roads Thurs
day night were mailed to Pres. Wil
son, every member of the senate and
the house, and to all the conferees at
the meeting attended by the presi
dent. After giving a resjme of the con
troversy the letter emphasizes that
when the railroads consented to join
the white house conference the only
matter of dispute pending was tho
trainmen's wage demand. In this
connection the letter points out that
in practically all existing agreements
between roads and men there is a
provision that if either side desires an
amendment of a regulation, 30 days'
notice to the other side is required.
In asking arbitration affecting several
agreements now in fcrce the railroads
did not give such notice, the train
men set forth.
The employes said Thursday night
that they will wait enly for the sen
ate's confirmation of the president's
amendment Friday before insisting
upon a conference forthwith at which
they will present the;r wage demand.
If the- roads then submit .their
grievances to the federal board the
men, so they declared, will decline to
sign the arbitration stipulation and
will strike Instead.

R DIPHTHERIA
Fear Disease Came From Pa-
4
tient Whose Sickness Wasl
First Diagnosed as Tonsilitis
The quarantine of tho home of Dr.
R. I). Coon, osteopath, 27 N. Main St.,
Friday for diphtheria, when brought
to the attention of the city' health
board, brought out a statement urging
caution in order to prevent the spread
of the disease and ward off possibility
of an epidemic.
The little daughter of Dr. Coon is
suffering with the disease. She has
been ill since Tuesday. According to
the statement of the attending physi
cian. Dr. C. II. .Myers, the child has
a very serious case of diphtheria.
When the. nature of the disease be
came certain Friday the health de
partment was notified and the entire
familv quarantined.
When asked about the case Friday,
Dr. Rerteling. secretary of the hoard
of health, admitted that in the cir
cumstances a.s they were brought to
him, there was serious danger that
others might get the contagion and
said tho board would do all in its
power to prevent a spread of the dis
ease. , Patients 1'pmm!.
Dr. Coon's otSice is located in his
residence. Patients have been going
there for treatmen". since Tue-day
when the girl took sick, it is said. The
probability that these persons have
been exposed to the disease was ad
mitted by the health olticer.
"I understand there have been pa-
tients there for treatment though I
do not know how many," s;iid Dr. P.er
teling. ""ince thi: matter has be
come public, howeer, we suppose
that we may learn from the persons
themselves who they are and if thy
communicate with u;; we will tell them
what preventive measures are n c s
sary." The contagion is supposed to have
started from a case of a little girl at
Franklin and Division sts., who died
last week. Her ailment was first
thought to be tonsilitis but physicians
called a few hours- before her death
diagnosed it as diphtheria but their
administration of anti-toxin was too
late to save her life.
