WILLIAM j. BRYAN, JR.
His Father Is Much Averse to the
Young Lads Notoriety.
hn IInraId


Chicago, Ill, Wednesday.-William J..
Bryan is trying to suppress William j..
Bryan, Jr. The latter seems now sup
pressed. Since the Bryan family came
to Chicago there has been too much pub
licity of young Bryan. His father has
clipped his wings. Mr.. Bryan said last
night:
This notoriety THAI William has achiev-
ed since his coming to Chicago is dis
tasteful to his mother and myself and we
wish that. in future the papers would dis
continue celebrating the notable achieve
ment of my offspring"
William j. Bryan. Jr., under the new
order of things. wears meek and chas-
tened expression and bears himself with
a restraint and dignity agonizing to him.
He has not had an opportunity 10 fall
out of a window recently, or to ride again
the Lincoln Park elephant or run the ele-
vator up through the roof. His mother
has kept him continually by her side, and
not once has he been permitted 40 roam
more than few feet away. He has been
sternly forbidden by parental mandate
from conversing with reporters.
Young Bryan is a jolly American boy.
good at heart, but mischievous He had
made the Auditorium Hotel boys para
disc, playing pranks on the bell boys and
clerks.
His unintentional attempt at suicide in
Gen. Wheeer's office where he leaned
out of the window so far that he lost his
balance In attempting TO disturb passers-
by caused his father and mother TO bring
him TO order.
Soon after luncheon to-day young Bryan
lost for a time his stern and martyr like
air. A friend of Mrs. Bryan called with
an invitation for Mrs. Bryan and her son
to take a ride in an automobile. Some one
suggested that there would not be room
for three In the vehicle.
''Why. William can ride with the driver
n he will let him." said Mrs. Bryan.
"Oh. I'll let him." said William. Jr.
The automobile ride was taken. but
there was constant war on the drivers
coat Young Bryan and the driver bat
fled for the possession of the machinery
that operated the machine. Finally an
arrnistice was arranged, the driver cum
ninslv telling the boy that the most dan
aerous and important work of running an
automobile was the ringing of the gong.
Younp BRYAN at once declared that he
,vould ring the gong, and 80 he was given
fuu control of that part of the automo-
nile re rang the gong until persons along
the route rushed TO the windows and doors
10 see the fire department.

dignihed captive. his position in the minds
of the general people OF Spain was far
from being heroic in contrast to the emo
tional and frenzied suicide of La Zaga
the man who committed suicide on seeing
the loss of the boat he commanded and
the humiliation of his country. This most
courageous gentleman was the true ma

general public for the adaptable grace
with which he accepted American courte-
sy from his victorious foe.

I receive anything less than the greatest
courtesy. Not one remark, not one look
