BRYAN ON A TANGENT
And Jones Says That Bryan
Will Alternate Himself
From the Democratic
Party.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-Trouble ex-
lists between Colonel Bryan and Chair
man Jones of the democratic national
executive committee. Bryan's views
and uttersnces on the question of ex-
pansion cause the trouble.
Be'ore leaving Washington the
other day Bryan sought out Jones and
both sat down and compared political
notes. It will be remembered that
Immediately on casting off his military
uniform Bryan began a systematic
course of ventilating his views.
While preaching anti-expausion he
advocated placing the Philippines
under protectorate of some sort until
as he said, those people were capable
of self government. after which he
would let them make their own way.
Bryan supposed the democracy would
follow his lead in that direction. That
seems, however, to have been bis great
est recent mistake as he learned sfrom
Jones.
Both leaders talked warmly upon this
part of the democratic policy. Jones
plainly told Bryan that in his judge
m snt the United States went TO war with
Spain for the cole and only purpose of
freeing Cuba, that and nothing more.
He also informed Bryan that in bis
judgment if he persisted in
the position he had re-
Gently assumed he would find
himself without party following, de-
serted by party leaders and repudiated
by the rank and file of all that was
really Democratic, which had two
years ago given him more than six
million votes.
Jones is quoted as saying that rather
than indorse Bryan's ideas on expan-
sion he would resign the Craftsmanship
of the national democratic executive
committee and allow Bryan to pursue

MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING.
Employee of the JudreZ Shelter has
DISAPPEARED.

Ernest Brunier has been mysterious
ly missing since last Tuesday night and
his wife and kindred fear that he has
been foully dealt with.
Brunner is q machinist at the Juarez
smelter. He left home at 1870 O'Clock
Tuesday evening after being paid of
telling his wife that he would return
early.
He has not yet returned.
Last Tuesday the young mans

who has been loafing around for
several months, offered to deliver the
message. The man has not been seen
since and is thought to be in Chihua-
hua.
Tuesday afternoon q boy
on horseback called at the
Juarez smelter and told
come to Ell Paso and bring all the
meney he could get together. Who
the boy was Is not known and who sent
him is q mystery. Brunier, however,
left home that evening after receiving
the message and took $50 in Mexican
money with him. Grave fears are en-
tertsined by his wife that he was
murdered on his way to town and
his body thrown in the
river, and all the circumstances of the
strange disappearance tend to con-
firm the suspicion.
Brunier was in the habit of getting
on an occasional spree and his re-
latives cling to the hope that he may
turn up within the next few days.
The Ell Paeo detectives are working on
the case and do not incline to the MUIR
der theory. They think that the mau
is simply celebrating Christmas and
no occasion for alarm exists.

CASE OF MISS KING.
The Police of New York Have d Mys-
terry on Their Hands.

terry on Their Hands.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Miss Louise
King, a wealthy young lady who
strangely disappeared while bathing In
the surf at Coney Island, has furnished
the police Of this city with one of the
most interesting affairs" they have
had Tor a long time. Miss King left
nome With her maid, Alma Lindstron
to take sea bath. The mistress ar
rayed herself in a bathing suit and
walked out on the beach with a white
parasol in her hand She then told
Alma to don a bathing suit herself
and when Alma came out Of the bath
mousse Miss King was gone.
For two hours the maid fingered in
the surf in the hope of seeing her mis-
tress, but that pretty young woman
was as invisible as if the earth or the
sea had swallowed her up. Alma was
alarmed and notified the police. The
natural impulse of the officers was to
say that Miss King had been drowned.
They looked for the body until mid
night, but could find no trace Of 1t.
Then they began to- suspect that she
was not drowned at all, and INQUIRED
whether she had a lover. The inquiry
was quite unsatisfactory until the next
day.
Then the case took on new phase.
and the likelihood seemed strong that
Miss King probably did not even get
her feet wet Sunday afternoon at
Coney Island. Miss Kings mother told
how her daughter was very nearly
drowned two years ago in the surf and
since that time the girl has had a hor-
ror of the water Her purpose in 60
ing to the beach on Sunday was to
crafty the desire of her maid, who is
fond of sea bathing. Then the keeper
Of the bathhOuse bethought himself
Of the fact that he had seen Miss King
re-enter her dressing room with a great
cloak over her bathing suit. 1t was
also found out that she had not left
all Of her effects in the bathhOuse, but
had evidently returned and distracted
some Of them. To add to the strength
of the theory of woodworking the maid
was induced to confess that a certain
Mr.. Chamberlain had been attending
her mistress, and that the pair had
made an appointment for Sunday at
Coney Island but that the gentleman
did not appear.
Mr.. and Mrs. King, Miss Kings par
ents, said that they were well acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Chamberlain, and that
there was not the slightest necessity
for any clandestine meetings between
him and their daughter. Mr.. Chamber
laine is the secretary Of the Produce
Exchange Trust company, and is a
friend of the family This fact rather
dampened the theory that this gentle
man had had aught to do with Miss
Kings disappearance.
The question now perturbing the de-
tectives is this: Miss King was not
drowned; Mr.. Chamberlain did not
elope with her; what, then, has become
of Miss. King, and why did she leave
her comfortable home, her parents, and
her favOrite maid? The police are now
busily engaged trying to tender a salts
factory explanation of the mystery in
volved in the Interrogation.
The latest development Of the case
is a statement by the maid that she
saw Miss King drown, q contradiction
Of her first story, but this tale is dis
credited.

alone throw out. Hit and run was the
signal, and, as Hulen started to cover
the sack, Glenalvin put an aggraVat->
ing slow one right over Hulen's ac-
customed habitation. Each made two
bases on it. Isbell drove the sphere
far over second base, and, on the first
bound, it went high over Genins head
so that three runs resulted in very
short time Shugart flew to Genins'
but Gillen hit safely, and Preston was
hit by the ball Spies hit to left, and
Lally'S throw went through WolVer-
ton. Gillen and Preston scored before
Fricken flew to Lally, making IA to 2.
WolvertOn's two-bagger and Franks
single, after two were out in the sew
enth, produced the only other run of
the game. Brown opened the ninth
wit hanother hit, but could not get
around.
A sharp double from center to sec
ond, when Burke ran on a fly, was the
helding feature of the later innings.
The score:
