BRYAN DENIES 1T.
Declares He Did Not Give Out Alleged
Interview

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 19.-Mr. Bryan
says he has been quoted incorrectly
and that he has never said silver would
not be an issue in the next campaign.
He said that in 1900 it was not the
paramount issue and he has repeatedly
reiterated that statement.
He said:
while the money question is not the
paramount issue and was not in 1909
yet some phase Of it is always before
the public and those who have any
knowledge of public affairs must know
that a man who is willing to turn over
the finances of the country to the con-
troll of the financiers lacks either an
understanding of the subject or sym
pathy with the people and in either
case it would not be wise 10 make such
person the standard bearer of the
Democratic party.
No man should be considered for
the presidential nomination who was
not thoroughly committed to the peo-
pies interests on all questions invol-
we'd in the last two campaigns

State Printer Contest VIII Soon
Be Settled.
Japper and Allen Get Out Of the
Way.
ONLY TWO IN RACE.
Will Be Hoch or Clark on First
Ballot.
The Latter Has Been Gaining
Strength Recently.

There viii be only a single ballot in
the state printer caucus Monday night
unless the vote should happen to be
tie. which Is not likely.
This announcement is made certain
by the withdrawal today of Arthur Cap
per from the state printer contest.
Henry Allen had already withdrawn
and Mr.. Capper today told some of his
friends that his name probably would
not be presented to the caucus Monday
night.
the place, George A. Clark of Junction
City, and E. W. Hoch of Marion II
Miller is seated as the member from
1lncOln county there will be $50 votes
Senator Fuliington of Clay county, who
IS seriously Ill and has not been present
a. this session. This would require 66
votes to nominate. If Miller is not seat
ed before Monday night, 65 votes will
constitute majority. AS only the two
names will be presented to the caucus
one or the other will undoubtedly be
nominated on the first ballot
Clark stock has been looking up today.
The Clark workers have been making
hay out of Mr.. Hoch's action iii the
Wichita convention last spring The
Bailey forces pleaded with Hoch at
Wichita to divide the Marion county DEL
egatlon on the temporary organization
but HOch refused because II. B. Miller.
one of the gubernatoria1 candidates, was
against the Bailey organization
HOch has a great many warm friends
among the Long and Stanley followers
in the present fight, but it is said today
that Clark is making inrOads in the
Hoch forces. The Hoeh workers, how
ever, are as confident as ever and be-
lieve that Mr.. Hoch viii be nominated.
Mr.. Capper's action in retiring from
the contest was in the interest Of Con-
gresham Curtis. He has made his can
didacy subordinate to that of Mr.. Curtis
from the start. Had it not been for
Curtis Mr.. Capper would now have
good chance of election as state printer.
Realizing that his candidacy might In
jure Mr.. Curtis in the final scramble, he
told his friends to sacrifice him as his
name would not be presented in the
caucus.

ICE GAVE way.
Thirty Persons Fell in and
Three We're Drowned.

Washington, Jan. 15.-While a. large
crowd was skating on the bathing basin
near the Washington monument the ice
suddenly gave way and precipitated
thirty or more persons in the water.
Three persons are known to have lost
their lives and it IS possible other deaths
may have been caused by the breaking
Of the ice. Miss Jessie G. Thomas,
young woman, 20 years of age, employed
as a clerk in the bureau Of ethnology,
died at the Emergency hospital
Later the two dead men We're fdenti-
fed as Arthur Wasserbach, an employe
of the bureau Of engraving and printing
and Henry Hammill, a clerk in the war
department.
Wasserbach was a native of Wash
ington. Hammill is from Michigan, and
Miss Thomas previous to a year ago,
had lived in Frederick Nd HsmmiIl
was about As years Of age. There were
probably 1000 persons skating on the
basin at the time of the accident
A hot water pipe from the engine
room of the Washington monument
empties into the basin near where the
ice gave way The skaters had been
warned that the location was a danger
Gus one, but it Is said they disregarded
the advice given them to stay away
from the vicinity. and when the crash
came fully thirty men and women went
through the broken ice and into the
water All were rescued except the two
men, whose bodies were recovered. Miss
mova1 to the hospital Officer Bannigan
of the metropolitan police jumped into
a boat near at hand, and, unaided, res
cued seven persons. The police are sat
isfed that all those who were in the ac-
cident have been accounted for.

ASYLUM MENACE.
Topeka Institution Has Only
Enough Coal for Today.
Reform School Is in No Better
Situation.

There is but a slight change in the fuel
situation, but if the present moderate
weather continues the dealers will be able
to keep the public supplied with sufficient
coal to tide over from day to day by dis
tributing it in small lots. but a severe cold
snap viii make matters even worse than
ever. The situation st the state institu-
tions is worse
This morning there we're 80 cars of coal
on the Santa Fe switch tracks being
emptied and delivered. Most of the cars
are shipped by the Mt. Carmel Coal COM
pany to the Topeka agency for the local
retail trade, the Southwestern Fuel COM
pany and the Wear company, but there
were few cars for the smaller dealers.
The so cars represent approximately 1900
tons of coal.
The companies which claimed that they
were short of teams, have all the teams
and wagons they can handle and this
morning refused to employ any more wag-
ons and teams.
No coal came In today from the Leaven-
worth mines, but it is expected that large
shipments will be made from there in a
few days.
The state insane asylum and reform
school have only enough coal to last
through today. but the railroads have
promised not to appropriate any more
coal shipped to the state institutions and
they may be relieved.
No small share of the responsibility for
the coal shortage lies with the railroads.
Up to Tuesday but few cars had been
brought to Topeka daily from Usage
county by the Santa Fe. Many cars of
coal were standing on the sidings between
Topeka and the mines ana at the mines.
The railroads being unable to keep abreast
of the immense traffic, allowed the coal to
be set out to wait and when the situation
in Topeka became so serious the road
pressed extra engines into service and
brought the accumulated supply of coal
in to ToDeka.
In southern Kansas the sidetracks of the
Frisco railroad are filed with cars of coal
from the Weir City. Pittsburg and Column
bus mining districts The miners claim
that Just as much coal as usual is being
mined in southern Kansas and that the
fault is that the railroads are not making
deliveries on account of heavy traffic
For the present there is enough coal in
Topeka to keep things going, but should
a blizzard come the railroads would have
to abandon their other shipments and
handle coal or the city will be cold
The smaller towns are now in the worse
shape. The large shipments are being
made to the larger towns and the smaller
places have to be content with car load
lots several days after the orders are
placed.
Shipments of hard coal in sacks are be
ing made from Topeka to neighborins
towns

Senate Amendment Removes
Tariff From Anthracite.

Washington, Jan 15.-The bill report
ed from the ways and means committee
to provide for a rebate on the duties
on foreign coal for a period of one year,
was passed in short order by the house
by practically a unanimous vote, 258 to
g. those voting against it being Messrs.
Cushman and Jones of Washington;
Gain of West Virginia: Mondell of Wy
oming and Patterson of Pennsylvania,
all Republicans. The bill was consider
ed under the operation of rule which
cut off opportunity to amend. The only
opposition to the measure came from
some of the members representing coal
states, who expressed the fear that the
admission of Chinese mined coal in Can
ada would injure the coal industry Of
their states. Both Mr. DalzeH of Penn
sylvania and Mr.. Payne of New York,
the Republican leaders expressed the
opinion on the floor that the bill would
not relieve the existing distress. They
said 1t would satisfy however, public
demand for action and show the dispo-
sitfon of congress to do what it could
The Democrats, although they all sup
ported the bill, took the view that it did
not go far enough, saying that coal
should 20 on the free list and when the
bill came hack from the senate with a
provision which virtually placed anthra-
cite coal on the free list they applauded
vigorously.
The amendment was accepted and the
hill became a law.

There has been some criticism Of the

who have been criticising this action
certainly do not appreciate the situa-

this work A janitor might perhaps

things about a legislature that need
ventilation that two men can easily be
kept busy if they look after the work
as they should. To be sure the news

sort of ventilation without money and
without price, but the state always
likes to pay somebody for services per-
formed, especially when the patriots
