BRYAN AT WHITE HOUSE
Calls to Express Approval of the
Presidents Policy.

Washington, Jan. 21-Wfliam ].
Bryan called on President Roosevelt at
the White House today. He was cor
daily greeted by Mr.. Roosevelt as well
as by a number of Republican senators
and representatives who happened to
be in the executive office at the time of
his visit
You are certainly looking well, Mr..
Bryan said Senator Cullom IlI.) as
they shook hands.
Eyes, but am little too fat.
could spare you some of my flesh" said
the Nebraskan, as he looked at the
thin form of the Illinois senator.
We'll, you are growing remarked
Senator Cullom, ''in fact you are grow
ing in more ways than one,' Whereupon
Mr.. Bryan smiled and after a few more
words with Senator Cullom walked into
the offices. Before he could get to the
presidents doorkeeper a dozen people
stopped him and shook his hand. Mr..
Bryan was uShered into the cabinet
room, which was filled with people. The
president was engaged in an adjoining
room with Senator Proctor, but as soon
as he learned that the noted Democrat
was in the cabinet room, went to him
and grasped his hand cordially. Come
in here said the president who piloted
Mr.. Bryan into his private room, where,
Joined by former Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, they remained for five or ten
minutes.
At the conclusion of the interview
Mr.. Bryan said to newspaper reporters
that his talk with the president had
been cordial and satisfactory and that
they had discussed several matters.
ut was a pleasure to commend his
attitude on some things" said Mr..
Bryan.
Not on all things then?'' he was
asked.
mo, Of course not" said Mr.. Bryan.
Il believe in speaking well of any
policy that is good regardless of what
party is supporting it. I have often
been accused of being a Populist mere
ly because have given my support to
some things advocated by the party 1
suppose I will now be accused of being
a Republican because I agree with
President Roosevelt on some things. I
think the president is Enthusiastically
right in his demands as to railroad leg
isIation and I told him so. I also think
that Mr.. Garfield, of the bureau of cor
porations is right in recommending that
corporations be required to take out
federal licenses. I likewise believe in
an income tax and hope to see it
brought about.
How can it be brought about?"
by a constitutional amendment Mr..
Bryan suggested
Mr.. Bryan said he would leave Wash
ington tomorrow night and go to New
York, where he is scheduled to attend
two banquets.

BLooDsHED FEARED.
The Police Claim to Have the Situa-
ton Wen i'm Hand.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-6 D. M
The situation has much improved.
There have been no disturbances of
importance during the day and the
authorities believe the situation well
in hand. Chief of Secret Police Lo-
poukine said to the Associated Press
at o'clock:
'"The strikers are perfectly quiet
and well conducted. Additional
troops have been brought in from
Tsarkoe-SelOe and Petershoff to guard
the mills. Militia is stationed around
the arsenal No delegation appeared
at Tsarkoe-Seloe last night We are
fully apprised of their intention to
gather on the palace square tomor-
row, but his majesty will not be tn ere
and measures have been taken to pre-
vent strikers fro mmaking their way
itno the center of the city. We are
confident that order will be preserved.
From our police investigation we
are sat isfied that the incident of Jan
uary 19 was an accident due to an
oversight The battery was practicing
on the previous day and charge of
case shot was left in the gun No
evidence has been found of the exist
ence of a plot and the punishment
that will be inflicted will probably be
only for neglect and carelessness."
The above is a very optimistic off,
ciaI view. Bloodshed is generally
feared tomorrow. The extent of the
strike and the character of the move
ment have surprised even those who
thought they were well informed re-
garding the situation.
The delegations of strikers which
have been going around the shops to-
day have been meeting with success
everywhere. Even the jewelers. work
men are joining.
Romanoh, the policeman who was
wounded January 10, is dead.
The battery from which the shot
was fired. being No. 1 Of the regi-
ment, like all guard regiments wore
the emperor's insignia.

union having issued instructions that
everything be done as quietly as possi-
bic and that no personal violence be
offered the police. Street traTic in the
leading thoroughfares is hardly inter-
fered with, the demonstrators filing
the streets politely making way for
passing sledges. A list of the ia works
closed as the result of yesterdays CO.
ercive measures shows that every in
dustry is involved including railway
construction and electrical engineering
In view of the probable failure of the
electric supply for stores and offices,
householders are laying in large stocks
of candles. The public is nervous and
excited and the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that the government viii be
forced to concede the demands of the
men.
Despite the energetic measures to
insure the safety of the city the in
habitants are in a state bordering on
terror The widest rumors regarding
the intentions of the mob are afioat
and many small retailers did not open
their shops this morning. An edict has
gone forth that no shop must open to-
morrow when the great assemblage on
the palace square is scheduled to take
place.

Worlds Greatest Soprano Ar

In That Time Expects to Rest

TO BE HERE TWO DAYS.
Union Pacific Limited to Be
Held for Her Monday.

Me1ba, the famous operatic coIorature
soprano, is in Topeka today. She came
in her private car ''Riva' which was
attached to the Union Pacific train
from Kansas City, arriving here at LIS
O'Clock this afternoon.
Madame Melba will spend Sunday
and Monday in Topeka. resting prepar-
atory for her concert here Monday
night, at the Auditorium.
A reporter for the State Journal met
Melba's car at the Union Pacific depot
upon its arrival here, but was refused
admittance. Melba was just finishing
luncheon which was served in her pri-
vate dining room in her car and con-
sequently the servants were under or
ders to refuse admittance to any one.
In view of the fact that newspaper
reporters are required to write their
news before the paper goes to press,
the reporter was unable to wait for an
interview with the great singer.
Melba's car will remain in the Union
Pacific yards near the depot for the
two days and a half which she will
spend in Topeka.
Several of the prominent members of
the Ladies' Music club are planning
some sort of entertainment and hOSpi-
tality for Melba during her stay here.
AS an Indication of the Importance of
the great Melba, it may be related that
the railroads bow to her smallest
wishes No greater care is taken with
any car or train than is taken with
Melba'S car, and Monday night the I'm
ion Pacific officials are going to hold
the Overland Limited train which is
due to arrive in Topeka at o'clock,
for three hours in order that Melba, may
have her car attached to the train to
go to Denver after her concert here at
the Auditorium.
1t is impossible for every person to
eoo oh he
companies. But Melba usually has her
every wish gratifed. and others look
on in envy.
Melba will greet a large audience up
on her appearance in public in Topeka
The seat sale at StansfieId's has been
extraordinarily large. and the demand
for seats still holds steady. No doubt
nearly every one of the $500 seats in
the Auditorium will be occupied by
music lovers and admirers of the tai
'ented artist.

MR.. REEDER PRESIDES.

Washington, Jan. 21.=The life sized
statue of John J. Ingalls,, the gift OF
Kansas to statuary hall in the national
capitol, was formally presented today.
Each state contributes the statues Of
two of the states most distinguished
citizens to the hall. The statue of
John Brown has long been the only
Kansas statue in the collection and
until two years ago no decision was
reached as to whose memory the sec
ond statue should stand as a monu-
ment.
Two years ago Bale Waggener, of
Atchison, then a representative in the
Kansas legislature, started the resolu-
ton which decided that the state
should appropriate the funds for a
second statue and that the other Kan
sas statue should be that of the state s
illustrious senator.
Charles H. Neihaus, a celebrated
sculptor, was commissioned to model
the statue, which he did, subject to
the approval of Mrs. ingalls, and the
Kansas delegation in congress.
In January, 1904, Mr.. Neihaus com
pleted the model of the statue. The
model was approved by Mrs. Ingalls,
and other Kansans, and the work OF
cutting the marble statue from the
model was at once commenced.
Within the last few weeks the statue
was completed and placed in the capt
tol and arrangements were made for
the official acceptance by congress-
The exercises this afternoon attend
ing the acceptance of the statue were
simple, yet beautiful and impressive.
Long before the hour for the conven-
ing of the senate, the galleries were
well filed with those attracted by the
exercises members of the Kansas col
ony; families of members of the Kan
sas delegation; Mrs. ingalls,, her daugh-
ters and son and friends: and old asso-
ciates and admirers of Senator Ingalls,
in the days he was a power here in
congress.
Mrs ingalls, and her family sat in
specially reserved seats in the exeeu-
tive gallery, and were the center of at

ADAMS ANSWER.
Practically 1t Says to Peabody You're
Another.

Denver, Jan. 21.-The answer of Gov
ernor Alva Adams to the allegations of
former Governor James H. Peabody,
contestant for the office of governor
was filed this afternoon. 1t consists of
$50 typewriter pages.
The answer makes a general denial of
the allegations of the contestor and
specifically charges fraud in several
counties against the contestee. 1t al
Ieges that divers corporations and mine
owners associations conspired with the
Republican state central committee and
spent large sums in securing fraudulent
registration, padding registration lists,
corrupting election officials and buying
votes for the purpose of electing Gov
ernor Pea body.
