Chas. H. Scott Not Accused of violat-
 ing Liquor Law in Florida.
 The Advertiser in Thursdays issue published the following statement in regard to a suit against Charles H. Scott of this city:
 Charles H. Scott, well known as a leader in Republican politics. received a verdict in his favor yesterday in . suit entered against him by V. E. Shields and Josie Casio.
 This case, which came up for trial yesterday before Judge Sayre, in the City Court, grew out of charge by the plaintiff in which Mir. Scott was accused of selling liquors and cigars as one of the owners of the Tampa Bay Hotel at Tampa, Fla, in violation of the law"
 This last paragraph contained an in- correct statement of the facts of the suit. MT. Scott was not accused of selling liquors and cigars in violation of the law.
 The facts in the suits were as fol- lows: Messrs. T. J. Scott & Sons were sued in ordinary actions on open ac- counts for some liquors and cigars sold and delivered to the Tampa Bay Hotel Company at Tampa. Fla, and the plaintiffs sought to charge T. J. Scott X Sons. of which firm Chas. H. Scott is a member, with these accounts. There were two suits, which were sub- mitted to separate juries on their mer- its, and verdicts were rendered in fa- vor of Scott & Sons In both cases.

SHOWERS OF MONEY
STEAD MAKES APPEAL FOR PEACE
 FUND.
wants One Hundred Thousand Dollars To Enable Young Men From Amer les To Visit The Hague
 Conference.

Pittsburg, April 12--At the close or remarkable address by William T Stead. Editor of Review of Reviews, London, at the re- dedication ceremonies of the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburg, tnday in which the speaker announced A plan to raise S100,00 for pilgrimages from all countries to The Hague Con ference, unbounded enthusiasm took possession of the large audience and money was thrown on the stage.
 Mir. Stead, after explaining the pur- pose of the pilgrimage to the next Hague Conference, estimated that 1t would take at least s100,000 to finance the proposition. To raise this sum he proposed that students in colleges and universities throughout the United States donate fifty cents each. He said the lesson furnished to Europe by such a movement would be an infuen- tial factor in the quest of international peace.
 The suggestion came at the end of his address and he sat down amid loud ap- plause. For fully five minutes the clapping and cheering was prolonged. and finally the speaker again arose and said that probably the audience would like to contribute to the fund. Imme- diately a shower of silver landed on the stage from all parts of the hall.
 Among the invited guests seated on the stage were many presidents of uni- versailles and colleges and the follow ing decided to contribute to the fund: Knox College. Galesburg. ILL; Aheghe- nv College, Meadville, Pa; Tuskegee Normal Institute, Tuskegee, Ala; Gen. eva College. Beaver Falls, Pa.
 It is said that other colleges will an- nounce their intention to contribute shortly.
 The banquet given by the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Institute in honor of Mir. and Mrs. Andrew Carne- gie, was held tonight at the Hotel Schenly Mir. Carnegie made his appear ance at this function after being absent all day. but 1t was stated, from fatigue occasioned by yesterdays ceremonies.
 Three large chests of books were pre- sented to the institute by Emperor Will liam through his personal representa- tive, Lieutenant General E. von Loe- wengeld The books were handsomely bound and treat. of the German Empire and army.

BRYAN ON TEDDY
COULDN'T URGE PRESIDENT FOR
 THIRD TERM.
Nebraskan Says He Cannot See 1t is His Duty to Nominate Teddy Always Opposed to See-
 Ond Termism.

Roanoke. Va, April William Jennings Bryan. in an interview today was asked for an expression on the suggestion, made by John Temple Graves of Atlanta, at a banquet on Wednesday night at Chattanooga, that Bryan nominate Roosevelt for Presi- dent. MT. Bryan said:
 q said at the banquet in Chattanooga all that. at present, I can say. l then said: As at present advised. I can not see that it is my duty to nominate MT. Roosevelt In both my campaigns I stated that I would not be a candi- date for a second term If elected. and, as I have endeavored to secure a con stitutional amendment making a Pres ident ineligible for a second term, could not copscientiously urge the nomination of Mir. Roosevelt for sec ond term even If there were no other reasons.
 In speaking of the Hartman Roose- welt episode, Mir Bryan said:
 "The President seems unduly excited over the alleged $5.0oo,00O raised by Wall Street to prevent his reelection. If Wall Street Is opposed to any doc Urine held by Roosevelt, 1t is certainly not Republican doctrine. When we came up against the corruption fund in 1896 we found no more ardent cham pion of these special interests than MT Roosevelt"
 Mir. Bryan spoke here tonight un- der the auspices of the Daughters or the Confederacy and met here his daughter, Grace, who Is student at Rollins Institute. and whom he had not seen since last fall.
