He Will Make Speeches Only on
Special Occasions.

Chicago, Aug. 11-William J. Bryan
Will make no such extended speech
making tour of the country this cam
paign as he did four years ago. He
they Will be in connection with special
occasions, and not part of a general
swinging around the circle. That much
was determined during the talks which
Mr.. Bryan had with the members of the
executive committee of the Democratic
national committee and that was all
that was determined
Speaking of his own plans for the
campaign, as far as they were deter
mined on, Mr.. Bryan said:
mo regular programme of speeches
by me will be mapped out, and no espe-
clal itinerary arragned. / shall make
few speeches during the campaign.
The times and dates will be announced
from time to time as they are deter
mined upon. Just now there is no an
nouncement of any kind to make, be-
cause no date has yet been fixed or
arrangement made. When it is settled
particular, the announcement will be
made. Then there will be nothing fur
ther to give out until the time and place
is determined upon. Every speech will
be independent of all others"
Asked If this was meant to include
the outing of the Irish societies here ON
next Wednesday and that of the Trades
Unions on Labor day. Mr., Bryan said:
Yes, it is not yet decided whether I
shall appear at either or both of those
occasions
In response to a question as to his
formal letter of acceptance of the NOM
ination, Mr.. Bryan said:
Il cannot say now when that letter
will be read. 1t certainly is not written
yet"
Mr.. Bryan expects to remain here
until Monday at least, and perhaps
longer. Then he will go to Lincoln.

be cooked long enough and well enough
to fit them for human use but the ordin-

LIGHT ON ROOT'SSPBECH
Grave Charge Made Against
the Standard Oil Inf1u-
ences BY a New
York Paper

| NEW YORK, May IA sensational
story appears in the New York Times
this morning in which it is charged
that q. II. Rogers and Standard Oil
| Influences are responsible for the re-
cent failure of the Danish representa-
ii ve to complete the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United States for
four million dollars, as a result OF
negotiations on between Denmark and
Germany for the disposal of the islands
to the last named power.
1t Is claimed that knowledge OF this
fact prompted Secretary Roots speech
last Friday night at the Grant dinner
during which he limited at the possibi-
lity of the United States being forced
to go to war to maintain the Monroe
doctrine.
He said in part: "No one who reads
the papers can fail to see the curse of
the nations Of the world In stretching
out for territory, and he will finally be
brought to cay that the American peo-
pie will be forced to abandon the
Monroe doctrine unless they exhibit
more interest in compelling them to
keep cF by preparations: unless people
prepare 70 dg 1T for 10 they viii. when
the emergency arises, be found un-
prepared"
The Times claims that the facts OF
the case have just been submitted 30
the Dsuish government by Captain w.
Won Christmas Dirckinck Holmfeld,
who was the special envoy of his gov
ernment to negotiate the sale of the
Danish West Indies to the United
States.
The facts, as stated In the report,sre.
it is said, in posses sion of the state
at Washington.
Mr.. Rogers refused today to be inter
viewed regarding his alleged holding
up of the scheme. His private secre-
tary however, said:
81 can say that nine tenths of the
story is untrue. Wall street is amused
over the idea of Rogers asserting that
he controlled the votes of over 26 Unit
ed States senators who obeyed any Or
der given them by the Standard Oil
company. A dispatch from Washing
ton says that tile story is ridiculed by
both the war and state departments.

DEWEY IN CHICAGO
The Hero OF Manila Cheered On
Every Hand.

CHICAGO, May 1.-George Dewey,
admiral of the navy aud victor at
Manila bay, occupied the post of honor
in the parade this morning given In
honor of the new national holiday.
Chicago honored her guest, the
great sea fighter and head of the
American navy, and he was received
with great accl aim from the time the
procession started till it passed before
the reviewing stand
Chicago had turned out to do honor
to hero. Political affiliations we're
forgotten. No one cared whether the
admiral was a democrat or republi-
can. No one considered the effect of
his csndidac for the presidency.
All remembered the terse sentence
flashed under the ocean from Hong
Kong two years ago. This was a
keynote of thought along the line of

RENT-RATE COMBINE
The Landlords OF Chicago Put Up
Their Prices.

CHICAGO, May. 1.-Rents were ad-
vanced Is per cent today by q combi-
nation of landlords which was recently
formed. Their agreement is said to be
the outcome of q supposed political
meeting "for landlords" which WAS
held recently. The meeting was at
tended by many property-owners, who
decided that q systematic raise in rem
tails was the only way in which they
could obtain recompense for what they
consider unusually high taxes this
year.
Another reason given for the propos-
ed raise in rents is the fact that q pro-
missed early opening of the new North
western Elevated Railway has caused a
demand for houses and apartments
alOuQ the line.
