BRYAN SENDS OUT WARNING
Scores Conditions in the House in
Open Letter to Congressman.
Declares Speaker and Leader of MI
in Influencing Legislation.

Lincoln. Nebr., Nov. 15-In an open let
ter TO the Democratic members Of Con-
gress, Mr. Bryan says:
The House rules put it within the pow
er Of a few men to control legislation.
The Committee on Rules is so small that
IL does not represent the country; it rep
resents no one but the Speaker The Com
mittee on Rules should be larger If il
were composed Of fifteen members Sc
lected from various sections of the coun-
try, it would be possible for the House
10 be brought into closer harmony with
the entire nation, and it would not be so
easy to strangle legislation.
THE Speaker has too much power
While the Democratic party cannot
make the rules of the House until il Sc
cures a majority, il can and should begin
its fight now. The present custom en-
ables the minority leader TO coerce by
arbitrary authority. whereas he should
lead by argument and by superior wis

COUNT BONI NOW MISSING
Unable to Endure Ridicule, Flees
from His Haunts.
Madame Gould May BE Forced to
less she Buys sons Freedom.

Paris. Nov. 15.-Count Boni is missing.
Carcicatured and ridiculed. held up as
the joke Of Europe. the noble ex-hus-
band OF Anna Gould has at last been
shamed. At his apartments 1t was stat
ed to-day that the count had gone away
for a rest The word was given TO a
besieging army OF creditors and usUrers.
Friends to-day express the belief that
Boni's colossal conceit which has pre-
vented his appreciating public sentiment.
has deserted him and that. conscious Of
the spectacle he has made Of himself. he
has deserted Paris. Others are Of the
opinion that he is still dOdging creditors
Every one is expecting Madame Gould 70
quit Paris soon.
The only string 20 her divorce victory
was that she could not take her children
from the country without permission Of
their father or the court. In this condi-
ton are foreseen future sensational de
velopments.
Countess Anna Tor Madame Gould. as
she will now be known has never liked
Paris. The recent sensational events have
only served to intensity her dislike l.
possible, she would undoubtedly take her
boys post haste to America But the
count is not expected to be quick to let
go his one remaining connection with the
Gould miliions-his children.
There IS already speculation as to how
soon Bonis financial straights will become
such that he viii name his Drice-seu his
boys to their mother, and permit her to
take them from Paris.
She realizes that her boys are members
Of the French nobility, citizens of France
and as such are amenable TO military
duty. For that reason it is probable that
the government would object to having the
boys taken permanently from the coun-
try.
That the possibility of the mother kid
mapping her boys Is appreciated by the
government was shown this afternoon
when IL was reported that secret service
men were watching the De Castellane pal
ace.

BOOK ON KAISER.
WiIheIm'E FOndnesS for Americans
Made Subject of Criticism.

Berlin, Nov. ia new book. entitled
Our Kaiser and His People" by an
anonymous author. who Is evidently init
mate with the court circles, processes to
give piquant details Of the Emperor s
dealing with his Ministers. The Kaiser
according to the author, is quickly bored
by the state dignitaries like Count Posa-
dowsl1y, who tried 10 go deeply into a
subject at their official audiences. In
such cases the Kaiser pays little atten-
tion TO them, but plays round the room
with his favorite dogs.
The author calls the Emperor's Aneri-
canisms a dangerous pest, which is de-
stroying the good, old-fashioned Prussian
bureaucracy, since the people have seen
the Kaiser has tolerated and seemed even
to be pleased with the democratic fsmiIi-
arity Of the VanderbiIts and Armours.
they are initiating it by an assumed
frankness and joviality that is foreign to
Prussian nature and character, and brings
theatrical element into court life.

Mr. Smith did not consider the fact that

sufficient to lead him 20 relinquish his
seat, or even 10 ask his opponents to join
IN appointing a committee for the inves-
tigation OF the charges and counter
