ard Oil magnate, died at Royan, south

His is the first death of any of the
men among the group of financial

received his education in the public
schools of Buffalo. He was born in

Pennsylvania and became interested in
the transportation of that product by

later consolidated with the United Pipe

John d. Rockefeller is reported to
have said to Mr.. O'Day last Novem-
ber:
DAY, what you want to do is to go
away and get your health. We don't
need you at 26 Broadway from 10 to 3,
II to or from II to l. But some day
we will want you half an hour, and
we'll want you bad"

here ON Wentworth avenue near Eff

BRYAN ANSWERS SULLIVAN.
Gives Out Reply to Attack by Illinois
National Committeeman.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.-The reply of
William j. Bryan to the recent attack
of Roger Sullivan of Chicago has been
given out here. The reply is In part as
follows:
In his speech before the Jefferson
club in Chicago Mr.. Bryan referred to
the case of Roger Sullivan, Democratic
national committeeman from Illinois.
Mr.. Sullivan will not be permitted to
lower this discussion to the level of a
personal controversy. The public is not
interested in Mr. Sullivan's views OF
Mr.. Bryan any more than it would be
interested in Mr.. Bryan's views con
corning Mr.. Sullivan were Mr. Bryan
to deal with Mr.. Sullivan's personality.
"Mr Sullivan is the Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Illinois,
holding his Office by virtue of unfair
methods. This matter was presented
to the st. Louis convention, and the
evidence would have convinced the
convention had not the delegates fear
ed the effect Of an adverse decision up.
on the presidential candidate whom
they were pledged to support If Mr.
Sullivan disputes the assertion that a
considerable majority of the delegates
to the Springfield convention were op-
posed to him he can fight the question
out with the majority league of Illi-
nois.
''As Mr.. Bryan has not asked for a
nomination and has not announced
that he will be candidate, he will not
submit the question whether he should
be candidate to Mr.. Sullivan or to
any body of persons less numerous
than the members of the Democratic
party of the United States. Neither
can the question as to whether Mr.
Sullivan should be reelected to the ma
tional committee be submitted to the
members of convention already ad
journed. Such decision would have
no binding force. The question must
be submitted to the Democrats of Hi
nois when they meet to select dele
gates to the next national convention.
Mr.. Sullivan is officially connected
with a favor seeking, franchise holding
corporation, and thesquestion is wheth
er the Democratic organization should
be paralyzed by the influence of men
whose private interests make it impos
sible for them to be guardians of the
public
In speaking of the Sullivan case at
Chicago, Mr.. Bryan said, i hold that
no man who Is officially connected
with corporation that is seeking priv
ileges ought to act as member of
political organization, because he can
not represent his corporation and the
people at the same time
"This is the issue Before the trust
question became the dominant one it
was not so important what a mans
corporate connections were, but when
this question is the supreme question
of the hour the party organization
must be above suspicion, and the Dem.
ocrats of Illinois and all other states
are invited to inspect the connections
of those who aspire. to the position OF
party managers. The people cannot be
fooled, and the party that attempts to
fool them is sure to learn of it's mis-.
take when the votes are counted"

OUR SAILORS WITHDRAWN.
Denver's Men, on Guard In Havana,
Ordered Back to Ship.

Washington, Sept. 14.-It was Off
cially announced that the sailors who
were landed at Havana from the
American cruiser Denver have been
ordered to return Immediately to their
vessel, save for small guard to be

action followed the receipt of an Off
State Bacon from Mr.. Sleeper, the
American charge d'affaires at Havana,
regarding the landing of the men. The
report was not made public, but it was
announced officially shortly afterward
that the sailors were landed from the
Denver solely and simply for the pro-
lection of the lives and property of
American citizens; that such action
was in pursuance of diseNssion be-
tween Mr.. Sleeper, the charge, and
the naval commander with the belief
that it was a wise sprecaution looking
to the protection of the lives and prop
erty of Americans.
That the landing in any way con
templated the protection of either the
Cuban government or the insurrec-
tionary government or President Pal
ma or any other persons than Ameri
can citizens was disclaimed officially.
