William Jennings Bryan's Plan
For Solution of the Rail-
way Problem.
FOR NATIONAL TRUNK LINES
Federal Government Under Mr.. Bryan's
Scheme Would Control Main Arteries,
While Subsidiary Systems Would Be
Owned by the States In Which They
Lie-Deductions From Study Abroad.

ST. Louis, Aug. 49, Homer Bass
ford, staff correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic, who is travelling with
William J. Bryan, writing under date
Bryan's plans for a division of control
of the railroads of the country among
the states and the federal government
The letter follows:
"Mr. Bryan will attack the trusts in
his New York speech, and it is prob
able that he will go further and give
! his views on certain forms of public
ownership of the utilities, with special
reference to railroads, both interstate
and within states. 1t is also quite like
ly that, with the support of the orig
inal Bryan party wing and the aid of
such eastern conservatives as Alvah
A. Clark of New Jersey, he will come
out boldly for constitutional amend
ment that will make an income tax one
of the certainties of the next half doz-
en- years.
''If Mr.. Bryan enters upon the money
question it is likely that he will repeat
his assertions of recent years that con-
ditions have eliminated money as an
issue. These conclusions are the result
of several conversations with Mr.. Bry-
an in London, at which time saw him
almost every day in fortnight
Has Plan of His Own.
Zone of the many striking impress
sions that have come to Mr.. Bryan on
this tour has to do with the ownership
of the great public utilities by the
state, with special reference to the
railroads. Mr.. Bryan has been in Eu-
rope on other occasions. He has been
careful to examine the conditions sur
rounding the government management
of the larger arteries of travel.
'In one very important particular
he would apply the theory differently
to the United States. His plan would
admit of the ownership of certain
trunk lines by the general govern
ment in order that the famously eff
cient through services should not in
any way suffer impairment, but he

every state be owned by the separate
states, thus preserving more effectual
ly the idea of the state individuality
which, in Mr.. Bryan's opinion, would
in time be wiped out If all lines passed
into federal control The enormous
patronage that would be the result of
such railroad management in Amer.
lea would of course tend to intrench
the party in power and would in time
accomplish what Mr.. Bryan fears and
would contend against-the abolition
of state boundaries.
"Over here it is interesting to note
the almost entire absence of confusion
in passing from one government to an,
other This fact is presented to meet
the argument, which no doubt will be
speedily forthcoming, that the greatest
confusion would result if passengers
were moved, let US say, from Kansas
City, Mo, to Springfield, IllS on lines
owned by the states of Missouri an6
Illinois.

VICTORY OF CAMBRIDGE OVER
HARVARD IN ROWING CON-
TEST AN EASY ONE,
FORMER SECURED CHOICE of STATIONS
GOT AWAY AHEAD AT START AND
GRADUALLY INCREASED
THEIR ADVANTAGE.

Putney, Eng, Sept 10.-By the de-
cfsive distance OF two lengths Cam
bridge won the great international
boat race stalling off by a steady
ate spurts. Cambridge had the advan
tage OF the choice of stations. which
gave them at least a length to the
good In consequence of the wind shel
tered water on the Surrey side Of the
river. They got away ahead at the
start and were enabled to maintain
their lead and even increased 1t as
soon as they reached the wind rough
ened water at Chiswick Eyot. 1t was
a pretty race throughout.
The start was perfect, both crews
taking the water at the same instant.
Neither splashed, but with swift,
steady precision the Cambridge men
drove the bow of their boat half a
length ahead within the first two
boats lengths. AS the English boat
shot ahead wild yell went up from
the patriotic masses.
Cambridge went at tremendous
pace, forty-two strokes to the minute
ut the start, gradually reducing this
rate, while the Harvard men hardly
rowed above thirty-five. Cambridge
gained stroke by stroke until by the
time Craven stems were reached day
light showed between the shells. Then
the crowds went mad and 1t was 100
to / that Cambridge would be the
winner.
The time of the race was 19 min
utes and 16 seconds. The record for
the course is Is minutes and AZ sec

RELIGION A NECESSITY.
President Speaks at eicentenary o
Oyster Bay Church.

Oyster Bay, l.. L., Sept. 1O.-ln
half hours address at the bicentenary
celebration of Christ Episcopal church
here President Roosevelt talked OF the
necessity of religion and clean living
for the welfare of the nation.
81 cannot understand any Amer.
lean citizen" he said, who has the
faintest feeling Of patriotism and de-
yotion to his country failing to appre-
ciate the absolute essential need OF
religion In It's broadest sense to the
welfare Of this country.
IF 1t were not for the fact that In
our villages and towns as they have
grown up the churches have grown up
in them and In the churches men
whose work Is not for the things or
the BODY but for the welfare of the
soul It would not be a nation today
because this nation would not be mt
abode for civilized man."
The mission of the church w's not
to work in the interest OF one sect,
but for humanity as whole. In TINS
connection he said he had been struck
by the prediction OF Bishop Burgess OF
Long Island, who had just said that In
two or three generations there would
be but one church in this country
He spoke of the necessity OF the
members of Christian churches con-
demning vigorously those who take
religion as a cloak for their evil deeds.

which the trains came together Is
about thirty feet high. The trains did
not leave the structure, but were de-

been due to the fog, although no ex-
PLANTATION Is given of how the trains

SUICIDES OVER HUSBANDS BODY
Woman Takes Her Life in Boston
HOSPITAL.

Boston, Sept 10.-Mrs. David e.
Sharretts shot herself and fell dying
over the body of her husband before
It had grown cold In death at the
Homeopathic hospital In this city.
Daily during Mr. Sharretts' Illness the
vitality of his wife seemed to sink as
his strength ebbed She was con-
stantly at his bedside and the physi-
clans and attendants noticed the effect
which the vigil was having upon her
strength She seemed distraught as
his mind weakened and when the
nurse told her that he was dead she
sat as stunned.
They left her for moment alone
with the body Hardly had the attend
ants closed the door behind them
when a pistol shot was heard. They
rushed back to find that she had freed
her spirit, as she believed, to accom-
pany that of her husband.
Mrs. Sharretts was firm believer
in the existence of the personality
after death. She held, her friends say,
that she and her husband were affin-
tiles and that nothing could prevent
their ultimate reunion In the spirit
world

MOTION is ovERRuLED.
Effort to Quash Indictment Against
Rockefeller.

Findlay, o., Sept. 1O.-Judge Banker
has overruled motions to quash the
information filed against John d..
Rockefeller and all the Standard Oil
cases A plea Of abatement was filed
lii each case and all were also over
ruled and the defendants given until
next Tuesday to file motions.
The informations charge John ID.
Rockefeller and the Standard OIL COM
pany with violating the Valentine anti
trust law. Virgil p. Kline OF Cleve-
land, attorney for the Standard, moved
to quash the informatfons, contending
that the action should have been
brought, If at all, through an indict-
ment by the grand jury and not
through informations filed in the pro-
bate court.
Judge Banker, In rendering the de-
cision, held that the same reasoning
that would apply to indictments In the
case applied to informations, only
more forcibly.
Pleas in abatement were then made
by the Standard attorneys and these
were also promptly overruled.

neral Services.

Newark, N. j., Sept. 10.-Rev. Oscar
e. Braune, pastor of the First German
Lutheran church, announced as he be-
gan funeral services over the body OF

as he had delivered in dream two
months ago over the dead body OF the
same young woman.
Mr. Braune said that just two
months to the day prior to the drown
ing Of Miss Wadsworth in the surf at
Bradley Beach he dreamed that she
was before him, dead, and that he was
preaching her funeral sermon.
The impression of the dream was SO
strong that he related 1t to his wife
the following day. He recalled that
his text in the dream sermon was BE
ready ALSO" taken from Luke Kill, IA,
and he used that text and as nearly as
he could recall the words of the SER
mon of his dream.

SULLIVAN REPLIES TO BRYAN.
Another Chapter In Illinois Demo-
cratic Fight.

New York, Sept. 10.-The private
opinion which Roger C. Sullivan holds
Of William J. Bryan Is made public by
the Illinois Democratic committeeman
Mr.. Sullivan defends the position he
has taken. defends his friends and his
calling. He compares these with the
associates, stand and occupation of
Mr. Bryan, much to the detriment of
the latter.
In conclusion Mr. Sullivan chal-
lenges the Nebraskan to a duel of bal
lots. The members of the Democratic
state convention Of two years ago are
to be polled, according to the def"
and are to say whether they repudiate
Sullivan. Mr.. Bryan said he had let
tiers from more than half of them to
that effect.
II the count of the ballots favors
Bryan Sullivan is to resign. II the
vote Is ON the side of Sullivan Bryan
Is to retire as candidate for the
presidency, for, as Mr.. Sullivan says,
''no man Is fit to be a candidate for
that high position who goes out in
public and lies about any member OF
his party"
Mr.. Bryan is addicted to the use OF
untruths, according to the Sullivan
statement Some of these are called
deliberate" and others are plain un-
truths.
OF Mr.. Bryan's Illinois friends and
advisers Mr.. Sullivan has an exceed
ingly poor opinion. He calls them un-
convicted felons. bribers Of conven-
tions and various other nncompli-
mentary things. Murder and highway
robbery are two of the crimes not men
toned In the Indictment

GUERRA ALONE HOLDING OUT
Peace In Cuba Said to Depend on One
Man.

Havana, Sept 10.-General Menocal
says that the leaders OF the rebellion
In the province of Santa Clara have
intimated that they will negotiate for
peace on the basis OF new municipal
elections, a new general election, am
nesty for all insurgents and the ap-
pointment Of special commission to
investigate the death Of Congressman
Villuendas, the National Liberal can
didate for president, who was shot and
killed In fight with police at Glen
fuegos Sept 20. 1905, and who is said
to have been deliberately murdered.
When questioned regarding the reb-
els In Havana province General Memo
cal said they had also intimated they
would agree to practically the same
terms, leaving the force commanded
by Pine Guerra the only one In the
field Menocal positively declared
that X Guerra did not agree to accept
reasonable peace terms all the rest OF
the country would be against him.
This statement would appear to be
supported by the expressions OF vet
Grams who attended the peace confer
ences here Some of them asserted
that Guerra's recent acts of hostility
were merely moves calculated to Sc
cure better terms for peace and that
II he does not consent to negotiate he
must be compelled to do SO by the
rest OF the country.
Meanwhile Euerra's attitude Is In
creasingly warlike.
