NO COMBINE IN PHONES
WIRE PROPERTIES OF EVERETT
MOORE SYNDICATE INTACT.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 2S.-Chair-
man Newcomb, Of the bankers committee
in charge of the affairs Of the Everett
Moore syndicate, said today there was alb
solutely no foundation for the report that
the Bell Telephone company had or was
about to absorb the Federal Telephone
company.
"It is true" Mr.. Newcomb added. that
we are negotiating for the sale of some
Of the smaller subsidiary federal COM
panies, but so far as the bankers COM
mittee is advised, the Bell company is not
connected with any of the offers received
for these properties
1t is now almost certain that the Unit
ed States Telephone company Gong dis
tance) and the Cuyahoga Telephone COM
pany of this city, two of the most i'm
portant telephone interests controlled by
the syndicate, will not be sold. 1t is said
that thorough investigation on the part
of the bankers committee has shown that
these properties are among the best pay
ing investments found in the Everett
Moore assets. As a result it is more than
likely that the United States and the
Cuyahoga companies will be finished and
developed 10 the fullest extent.

ject to the ratification of a meeting Of
the full committee, to be held April II.
1t is the general understanding that
this committee, among other things, will
report in favor of the creation of an
auxiliary committee, of which former
Congressman B. F. Gable, of Illinois,
probably will be a member and a finan-
ciaI committee, of which Lewis Nixon of
New York, probably will be chairman.
The only other name besides that of MIR.
Griggs which was presented to the com
mittee for the Craftsmanship was that of
Representative Cowherd, of Missouri, but
his name was withdrawn before the vote
was taken.
The following were selected to repre-
sent states which have no Democratic

Connecticut, Robert de Forest; Iowa, G..

The committee tonight heard the pro-
tests of a faction Of the Democracy o.
the District Of Columbia against James
L. Norris, who was elected to represent
the district at a former meeting of the

Then you mean you will vote for it?''
That's what 1 mean. L shall vote for

For the 20 per cent reduction bill Of
Mr.. Payne?"
Exactly That settles It," concluded
Mr. Babcock.
1t is now evident beyond doubt that the
ways and means committee has a major
ity, and can report the reciprocity bill
as party measure. AS such it can
hardly be successfully resisted and it
appears only a question Of time now
when the bill will pass the house.
1t was reported about the house Of
representatives today that Representa-
tive Babcock, of Wisconsin, who has
been in i'll health of late, would go -
Atlantic City Tor a stay of some time.
1t IS understood that Chairman PAYNE
will not call special meeting of the
ways and means committee this week,
until the plans of the committee are def
mite
Later in the day Mr. Babcock visited
the house and conferred with the WAYS
and means leaders and with Speaker

MYSTERY IN A DIVORCE
ACTOR FAVERSHAM SAYS SEPARA-
TION MEANT LIFE OR DEATH
Correspondent in Case, He Says, Was
Myth Deliberately Set Up,
but He Fails to Explain
Further.

NEW YORK, March 28-Counsel for
both plaintiff and defendant in the divorce
suit of Actor William Faversham in
dignantly deny that the decree in the case
was obtained by colusion as indicated by
a letter and interview said to have been
written by Faversham. The letter in ques-
ton was written to the New York Herald
and read as follows:
After reading the New York newspa-
perS of March 70 in reference to my di-
Vorce, | feel that l owe it to my friends
to send you the inclosed interview and
add to it here.
My divorce is no more mysterious than
others that the papers have handled lately.
1t was arranged between Marion FaVer-
sham and her advisors and myelf that
should give some grounds.
Il arranged 1.-THE poor, mystical CO.
respondents name shall be told when
come to New York-all the details of the
terms of the divorce / practically arrang-
ed myself. So ali these stupid stories and
insinuatiOns from newspapers are their
own manufacture.
II shall thank the Herald for a cor
rect version of my part in the affair."
The ''interview' inclosed was as 1ol-
lows:
IF the divorce has been granted, then 1
am very happy, and l feel sure that
Marion Faversham is also happy on ac-
count of being able to obtain the divorce
so easily and without any contest, pub
nclty or expense. 1t was a mat tter u me-
and death to both of US that this divorce
should take place.
Our martial secret we do NOT care to
discuss. l would like to say how much
thank the newspapers for the considera-
tions to both parties after the affair came
before their notice and the really clever
and dignified way some of the Eastern
newspapers have handled it. [ feel that
had the editors been handling such case,
involving their own family or parents,
they would not have shown more consld-
Grafton than they have shown Marion
FaverSham and me-"
1. H. Hummel, counsel for Mrs. Faver-
sham, and former Judge Charles Donohue,
attorney for Mr.. Faversham, today denied
that there had been any understanding III
the case and pronounced as absurd the
contents Of the letter and interview.

DEMOCRACY
LIKENs PARTY TO CHURCH
In Concluding His Caustic Remarks,
Report Says, He Announces
That Farm Life Will Hold
Him All His Days.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 2s-William
J. Bryan, in the Commoner, today says:
The New York Times has constituted
itself the especial champion of the reor-
ganizers, and is lamenting because MIR.
Bryan will use his strength and the
numerical strength of his followers, to
defeat Democratic Reorganization. The
editor of the Times, with an 'I-thank-
tN1ee-tha t-I-anl-no other-men air.
speaks of 1.-The immoral professions which
the Democratic party was led by Mr..
Bryan to make" 1t is not Mr.. Bryan
which the Times should fear, but the
people who join him in Democratic prin-
ciples. When the Conmoner calls sat
tention to such editorials as the one above
referred to, it is not for the purpose of
disturbing harmony-for the reorganizers
are the ones who are disturbing harmony
but reference~is made to such editorials
to show how impossible it is to keep
real Democrats and corporation Demo
Gratis in the same party.
When the party is made congenial for
the men who bolted it, it will not be
congenial for those who voted the ticket.
10 invite boiters back simply to have
another test of strength, is not harmony
it is riot. Harmony can only exist
when the members of the party strive
for the same thing, and while the reor-
7N'---N-NA' O1'NAiiN pOSlSI lltotL Incl 0APOSO
is to repudiate the party's recent utter
ances, they cannot be ssincere in their
talk about uniting the party.
Most people belong to a party as they
belong to a church, not because of the
number of members, but because of the
creed, and such people cannot be entieed
from their principles by mere promises
of success. But even on the low grounds
Of expediency, it would be suicidal to
listen to the advice of the reorganizers
because their plans would ALLEVIATE more
voters than they could by any possibility
please.
Mr. Bryan, in a personal statement. ex-
presses his satisfaction at the rural
conditions surrounding his country home.
and christens his place Fairview. He
also announces his intention of spending
his remaining days on his farm.
