MISS WALKER WEEDS.
Man Who Aided Her in the $50, 900
Love Suit.

Love Suit.
Lola Walker. chorus girl, art
issts' model and church worker,
and a recent plaintiff in $50,000
suit for breach of promise against
Colonel Dick Edwards. millionaire
resident of Union City, Tenn, has
been secretly married to George
D. Liferman, her star witness, it
was learned this afternoon.
The ceremony was performed
Sunday night at the young mans
home, S442 West SixtY-third
street.
Miss Walker was awarded $21,
600 damages against the million
aire whom she charges with TAX
ing her to New York under the
pretense of marriage, and then de-
serting her.
A new trial, however, was or
dered, and she failed to get her
$2l, 900.
Leiferman, through his testi-
lmony, aided the girl. Meantime
the girl and the witness returned
to Chicago and the young woman
took her place in Chicago Lawn
social circles.
EFFORTS AT SECRECY FAILS.
Every means to prevent public
lity of the marriage was taken but
the information became a matter
OF general knowledge to-day. The
ceremony was performed at the
home of the young mans father.
George Leiferman is brother
of VIM. Leiferman who recently
startled Chicago Lawn by abduct.
ing by force Miss Grace Monroe,
daughter of Rev. Alexander Mon
roe, pastor of the Chicago Lawn
Congregational Church and mar
rying her against her fathers
wishes. Exciting scenes attended
the kidnapping.
George Leiferman was married
by Rev. E. j. Rose, pastor d .he
Chicago Lawn Methodist Church.
Rev. Mr.. Rose and his wife were
present, as were all the members
of the Leiferman family.
LIVES WITH FATHER .IN-LAw.
Mrs. Chas. j. Leiferman was
asked if Mrs. George Leiferman
was living with her.
mo, she is staying with her
father-in- law" she said.
Mrs. c. A. Leiferman, mother
of the bride groom, was equally
reticent. But she gave the secret
away when, unwarily she declared,
"You will have to see George and
his wife,"
When the sentence was repeat
ed to her she caught herself quick
ly and replied:

TwE INCOME TAX.

The iceome tax. Mr.. Bryan do
clares, is a fixed part of the fiscal
systems of Many European na-
tions, and has been indorsed by
the mo ost conservative Govern
ments of the world. He believes
the people will sooner or later de-
mand constitutional amendment
providing for an income tax.

PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Mr.. Bryan declares the trusts to
be the paramount Issue and calls
attention to the recent inyestiga
tions throug b out the country
which have revealed the corrup-
tion existing in and by reason Of
the monopolies. He emphasizes
the evil of campaign contributions
from such sources and calls atten-
tion to the fact that Republican
Congress failed to adopt the Pres
ident's suggestion for legislation
forbiddlng corporations to con-
tribute. The criminal clause of
the Sherman antitrust act must be
enforced against all trusts with the
aim of imprisoning the guilty, not
merely fining them. Mr.. Bryan
suggests that duplication of direc-
tories be forbidden, and that all
corporations doing interstate busi-
ness should be required to take out
q Federal license.
TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

MR.. BRYANs HOMECOMING.
His Momentous Madison Square
Speech in Condensed Form.
INTERNATIONAL POLITICS.

INTERNATIONAL POLITICS.
Mr.. Bryan suggests that the
United States should announce
their national policy to be opposed
to the use of the navy for the col
lection of private debts. He con-
cludes his discussion of interDa-
tional politics with the assertion
that our nation has lost prestige
by experimenting with colonial
ism, and voices his profound con-
viction that the Philippines should
be made free.
DEFECTS OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
Discussing defects in the Ameri-
can system of government, Mr..
Bryan advocates a constitutional
amendment enine the first
session of Congress within q few
months after the election, and an
other to elect Senator'S by a direct
vote of the people.

SO closely allied as to be INSOFAR
able, Mr.. Bryan states. Free trade
would do much to cure the trust
evil. Protection has been a fruit
full source of political corruption
and the support of many of our
most iniquitous trusts. The high
tariff, long a burden to consumers,
has become a menace to our for
eign commerce and must go.
RAILROAD PROBLEMS.
The proposition that the rail
roads must ultimately become pub
lie property, Mr.. Bryan holds to
be incontrovertible. He commends
the President for his courage in
pressing the question of rate re-
vision upon Congress, and regrets
that the law, so enthusiastically
supported by the Democrats, was
distorted by the Republicans in
the Senate. He believes the solu-
tion of the problem of the rail
roads lies in a division of control
between the Federal and State
governments. This plan, he as
serts, is entirely feasible.
GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.
Reverting to the issue of the
trusts, Mr.. Bryan declares indus
trial despotism is responsible for
the growth of Socialism. The
weakness of Socialism is that it
woald constitute a new disesse-
if not a verse one--for the dis
ease from which we suffer. Social
isUl may he best eombatted by
correcting the abuses which have
grown up under individualisM.
DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.
The Democratic party = as the
best defender of human rights and
the best defender Of property
has its opportunity at this time
when the country is ripe for the
overthrow of plutocracy abhor-
reat to a Republic. Mr.. Bryan
urges a bold attack ia the name
of business integrity, an oppressed
people, despoiled homes and a
shamed religion.

7 There is little Irish tailor in

tation, however, says the New York
Times, was won and is maintained

Mrs. Murhys hurried home with

A phase of the government ownership

try has just been thrown into the lime
light by a correspondent at Washing
ton. and it bids fair to become an i'm
portant factor in the arguments of
tho@. WHO oppose Mr.. Rryan's hobby.
Briefly. the point made is this: with
the government ownership of the inter
state and infraState railways of the
country. the party in power at the
time of presidential elections will pos
scss and undoubtedly exercise n very
great and effective. but unfair ad-
vantage. in that the multitude of en-
ployes of the railroads would necessar-
fly be active partisans of that party
and probably would hold the balance of
power at the pending election. 1t is
pointed out that this same factor mas
entered into past presidential elections
in connection with the employees of
the postotfice and interior Department. S

A gentleman who drove from Bel
grade To Augusta late sunday afternoon
tells an interesting crow story. While
passing through Sidney, about 4 mile
before reaching West Sidney. his at
tcntiun WAS drawn to a flock Of about a
score of crows which arose from It
pasture tract off to his left and flew
across the road toward the south. Hard
ly had they passed overhead when
another flock, several times as large.
arose from the same place and followed
the first. And then another large
flock. and another and yet another un-
til the Sky seemed filled with a cloud Of
crows. The flocks were not closely
punched, but We're strung out in long
lines and as they We're flying very low
II WAS an easy task to count them. The
gentleman counted $40 in the five
tlocks, and as he drove on there We're
still many others to be seen flying
about over the pasture where the mi
grafton began. 1t seemed as though
all the crows in that part of Maine had
assembled there for a convention and,
having decided that in view of the re-
cent heavy froStS ii was time to be
moving southwark. had perfected an
organization by companies and We're
proceeding in orderly fashion on their
long journey. A peculiar feature of
the affair was the almost absolute sill
ence maintained only an occasional
"CaW, cav" being heard. as though
some leader We're issuing orders. That
the deSpised crow is most intelligent
bird has long been recognized. and
this was an impressive illustration Of
its intelligence. OF course. it was no
accident or coincidence that all these
hundreds of crows had met in that
pasture, and tnat they flew off south
ward in tiocks which, except for the
small vanguard were of almost identi-
cal size How was the word spread
which called together the scattered in
dividuals ana small floCks which made
up this army Of crows. ana how were
they organized into companies under
recognized leaders? Man knows lots of
things, but there is q lot of crow lore
which he has not yet mastered.
