INCREASE In PAY
ASKED BY ARMY
Expense of Living Has So, In
crease that Present Pay Is
Not Sufficient.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Conditions
call for an increase in the pay of the
army, says Brigadier General Constant
Williams, commanding the department
of Colorado, in his annual report. He
asserts that the increased cost of living
since 1872, when the present rate of pay
was fixed, the frequent changes Of Sta
tions., sending. officers to Alaska and
island possessions, necessitating the
keeping of two separate establishments
in many cases, work a hardship, espe-
cially on line officers. Years ago
changes Of station were not so frequent
and officers had opportunity to save.
General Williams renews his recon-
mendation that officers quarters be
heated and lighted without expense to
occupants, as are other public buildings
The expense of living at all places at
which officers are now on duty and at
which public quarters are not furnished,
he says, has so increased since the
adoption Of the present allowance that
it no longer covers the amount that
must be expended in order to obtain
suitable quarters

General Trepoff has issued orders that

She had gone but short distance, how

Vladimir Strikes Trepoff.
The relations of the dowager empress

The car sent for General Trepoff to
come in and quiet the grand duke. As

duke struck him on the head with his
walking cane. General Fredericks and
his adjutant seized the grand duke and
dragged him to a bathroom, where he
fell In drunken stupor after exhaust
ing himself in his efforts to batter down
the door. 1t was in this assault that
the report Of General Trepof IS illness
originated. =

How Bank Was Looted Evidence

Journal Special Service,

! Chicago. Sept. IA private strong
box of. Paul 70. Stensland in the safe
deposit vaults of the looted Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, was pried open
and revealed evidences Of crookedness
on tho part Of persons who have never
been under suspicion that threatens
them with prison. It proved to be the
hiding place Of all of Stensland's plans
for future plunderings, which were
'rudely interrupted by the closing of the
bank. One hundred and fifty blank
warranty deeds, all signed by the dunn
mics the banker employed, were brought
to light. ,.
!. A large package Of mining stocks.
believed to be worthless, was also dis
covered, along with $l25,0oO in life in
surance policies, which will be used as
an asset of the bank If possible.
Easy Way to Extract Cash.
!. These dummies are persons who never
owned piece of property in Chicago
or anywhere else. When stensland
wanted money for his schemes he would
extract one Of the blank deeds from his
strongbox. It was already signed,
All he had to do was to fill in the de-
scription Of the property, record it as
transferred to the dummy signers and
secure the bank s funds, depositing the
bogus deed with the bank as security.
In this manner his name never al.
peared in the transaction.

BRYAN DISCUSSES
TEDDY AS RIVAL
Peerless Leader Doesn't See
Why President is Logical
Candidate
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
HAS HURT BRYAN
Vigorous Protests Against the
Doctrine Comes from High
Up Democrats.

New York, Sept. 1.-On his way from
Bridgeport, Conn, today, Mr. Bryan
was asked what he thought about the
argument Of certain republicans that
President Roosevelt would be the next
logical candidate for the presidency.
MI. Bryan said that, if it were true.
as many, republicans had declared, that
roosevelt had completely destroyed the
democratic party, there ought to be
dozens of able republicans who would
be available as a candidate, as it
would appear that almost any republic
an could win with the democratic party
wiped out. There would then be no
necessity of giving President Roosevelt
what would be regarded by many as
practically third term. With such
an easy victory for the republicans
ahead why, he said, should not some.
body else be given a chance,
Jim-Crow Car Problem.
When asked what he thought of the
criticism by some democrats of his
ideas of federal ownership of railroads,
Mr.. Bryan said he had never advocated
anything that was not opposed in some
quarters. He was told that some of
the southern democrats seemed alarmed
lest the Jim Crow cars should be elm
mated by the adoption Of his ideas of
federal ownership.
Mr.. Bryan, in reply to this, said that
II the various states owned the lines
within their borders the local laws
would continue to be enforced. He was
asked IT he meant that negroes and
whites would be separated if the state
had Jim Crow law, to which he re-
piled that the state laws would nat
urally hold good on local lines He did
not care at this time to discuss the de-
tails of how the plan would affect the
carriage of whites and negroes on the
thru lines under federal control.
The Days Program.
Mr.. Bryan expected to remain at the
Victoria hotel until $3.50 pm. and then
to attend an informal reception at the
National Democratic club. After that
he intended to go to Newark, where he
is scheduled to make a speech at pm.
Later he will return to Jersey City,
where he is expected to deliver three.
speeches. He will then return to New
orlk in time to attend the dinner given
to him by the newspaper men.

PROTEST FROM DEMOCRATS
Bryan's Speech Arouses Opposition In
Party Ranks.

Journal Special Service
New York, Sept. democrats in
New York city are openly deploring
Bryan speech at Madison Square Gar
den last night Now that the utter
ances of the man to whom they look
upon to lead the party to victory have
had time to sink into their minds the
conviction has become general that in
voicing his new theory Of state owner
ship of railroads Bryan made one of the
greatest blunders Of his career. Not
a substantial democrat could be found
today who did not shake his head
when the Bryan speech was mentioned.
"Do you, know what Bryan did last
night?' asked one Of the most promi-
nent democrats in New York city "In
his utterances of fifty words on rail
roads he consigned himself from the
leadership of great party to the polit-
ical scrapheap.'
Others expressed the same view, tho
not SO forcibly. Some would not COM
NIT themselves farther than the omin-
Gus headshake.
1t was learned on reliable authority
today that since Bryan's arrival his
close personal friends almost to a man
have advised, even besought, him not
to reiterate what are regarded as
heretical views on so important sub
ject as the control of the railroads.
Among those who Joined in this earnest
appeal were Senators Bailey and Cul-
berson of Texas, Governor Folk of Mis-
souri,, and many Others Even Tom
Johnson, who has an independent way
of thinking on transit questions, ad-
vised Bryan against the declaration.
What Folk Says.
Governor Joseph K. Folk of Missouri
cast a prepared rock at W. J. Bryan 8
idea Of federal ownership and opera
ton of railroads. Governor Folk speaks
from the experience of the people of
Missouri ''The time may Gomez said
Governor Folk, "when it may be feas-
ible for the national government to own
and operate the railroads of the coun-
try. l doubt very much, however, if
the people of Missouri will ever vote
to bond the state for the sum of from
$300,00O,000 to $400,000,0O0 necessary
to buy the railroads within the state
boundaries. -us
