As Much ms He Disiiked To Do So, Col

Boone, Iowa, Nov. 15-Col. Henry Watterson, when asked today by the Associated Press for his opinion on William Jennings Bryan's tentative acceptance of the Democratic Presiden- tisl nomination, declared that he had labored with Bryan to have him to de- cline the nomination and to quit his dog in the manger'' attitude.
 Colonel Watterson realized that Bryan had 1t in his power to demand the leadership of the Democratic Party in 1908. "or defeat any other candidate by knifing him as he did Parker"
 Bryan's acceptance Is no more than he expected. however greatly he re- gretted the action, because he thought Bryan could no longer create enthusl- asm as he had gone before the people too many times.
 Asked about the assertion often made as to who the next President would be, Roosevelt or Bryan, Colonel Watterson said that the nomination of Roosevelt was all that Bryan supporters wanted. because they could then to go the peo- pie on the third term slogan. Bryan could carry New England in such a campaign, he thought. Roosevelt. by such an act. would Mexicanize this xov- ernment.
 As for himself, much as he dislilked to do so. Colonel Watterson would vote for Bryan against Roosevelt In such dilemma. He believed, however, that Roosevelt would decline another nomination as he had nothing to gain and the Republican Party had many men of Presidential caiibre. He men- toned especially Taft. Hughes and Crane of Massachusetts. He said SeD- ator Crane would make a strong man on the argument that New England had not had a President for a long time.

CALEB POWERS ILL
HE ENTERED COURT ROOM LOOK
 ING VERY PALE.
The Fifth Day of the Famous ken- tueky Murder Trial Was Con- stunned Largely in Empan-
 nelIing n Jury.

Georgetown Ky. Nov. 15.--The fifth day of the trial. of Caleb Powers was largely consumed in the work of em- pannelling a jury from the special venire summoned from Harrison County which arrived here this morning.
 The work of selecting jury and the tender of the counter avowals were the interesting features of the fore- noon session.
 Powers was quite III last night and the services of a physician were neces- sary. Powers haa been suffering from dysentery for the last ten days and excitement and work for his trial doubtless are responsible for his phys ical brealsdok1i. fss came into ccart sBsosastsss Jse wsvsTs bat lacked alaAa and weak. During the examination of special ve- niremen. 1t developed that Harrison County had been flooded with Powers's published book containing his speeches and Account of his trials. Out of twen- fully half had received through the mall froTa some unknown source, copies of Powers book. which it appears had bean sent to various precincts from which veniremen had been summoned. This discovery caused a sensation in the court room
 An amusing contrast with these de-
 
 venireman who had never heard of the noted case and had never read pa- per containing an account of it.
 The defense in the Powers case made a surprising move just before the noon adjournment by asking for. a special bailiff to summon witnesses from liar rison County to show the manner used in selecting the special venire which is now here. A sensation is said to be behind the move as the defense claims it will be able to show that the special venire was drawn from a hotbed of Goebel Democracy. in which only twen- ty-five Republicans reside. The com monwealth did not object and special bailifT was appointed to so after the witnesses. The political complexion of the venire is eighty-three Democrats and eighteen Republicans and seven in- dependents. The day closed with five qualified jurors. These are yet subject to peremptory challenge by either side.
 Fifty-four venirenen have been ex- amined. Of these seventeen were ex- cused for having conscientious scruples against capital punishment and twen- ty-four had expressed an opinion.

DINNER TO MIR. BRYAN Affair Will Be a Regular
 Feast. ALL TICKETS HAVE BEEN SOLD BrYan's Announcement is Main Topic in Washington. Republicans Are Urging Roosevelt ts Accept Third Term, Bat He rs Reticent-Foralker Visits
 White House.
ILL TICKETS HAVE BEEN SOLD
BY ALFRED .. STOPPER.


 Washington. D. C., Nov. l6--(Specialt The main topic of conyersation here today was the Bryan announcement. While 1t was not unexpected. most people rather thought that when the statement was made. 1t would come out at one Of the dinners to be given m Bryan's honor, during the next two aonths.
 The first important dinner Is to be held here on the 26th at the Raleigh Hotel. 1t Is by members of the various Democratic. organizations of Washing ton. Originally, 1t was merely proc posed to make 1t dollar "smoker.y but later the committee decided on q regular feast. and higher price was fixed--$3 plate. Five hundred tickets---all the banquet hall will seat --had been sold by yesterday afternoon. With over 200 applications pending. Today 500 more could have been sold so great is the demand for seats.
 Not many Congressman are now in town. They will not begin to arrive in large numbers until after Thanks giving. The few here seem to agree that the Bryan announcement will have strong tendency to. bring out another statement from PreHident Roosevelt. for in spite of his declara- ton that he will not accept another nomination, nearly every Republican Senator, Representative and office holder. who comes to Washington. tell him that the Republicans all over the land are simply wild to have him head the ticket Many of these Republicans are known to have also informed the President that if he does not once more lead his party. they greatly fear BFyan's election--particuIarly if either Hughes. Fairbanks or Cannon should be the Republican nominee.
 Republican, opinion Is still much divided as, to whether Roosevelt can be forced to- run. Some privately ad~ init that he Is burning up" Co have q nomination pushed upon him. and Democrats are numeroua who belinye firmly that Roosevelt intends 70 yield, if future deveiopuaeHts show that Taft cannot Knefss tt raifn111on.

from Thursday as unfinished business
 Took Positions In Campaign.
 MT. StroIher said that every Senator on the floor had taken position on these questions during the campaign. He asked if any candidate would have dared go before the voters in the last campaign in opposition to those poli- cies.
 Mir. Strother dealt particularly with the question of tonnage of the Louis- vile and Nashville. Of the total ton mage of this road. he said, thirty-six per cent originated in the State of Alabama. yet the road, he said. charged a higher rate in Alabama than in other states in which 1t was operated.
 He also contended that the claim of the railroads that the new rates insti- tuted in Alabama and other states, caused the railroads to suffer loss was unjust and unfounded.
 In supporting this assertion the Tallapoosa County Senator quoted figures giving the total number of miles of new railroads built in the past year and then he quoted figures giving the amount of capitalization. amounts which were entirely out of proportion to each other.
 They show" said Mir. Strother that either the railroads are prosperous or they are large consumers of 'vatsr.
 While MT. Strother was speaking several questions were aimed tt him by Senators Thomas and Teasloy.
 Anent-FeNts in Court.
 Senator Thomas wanted to know if, during the campaign, the railroads were not promised an opportunity to go into the courts and test the new rates. Senator Teasley asked if the Senator from Tallapoosa would not be willing to see the roads go into the courts to test the rates affecting their property.
 Yes, let them go into court like any other citizen" said Senator Stroth- CT. There is a way by which you or any other citizen can go into the courts"
 Then why are you asking us to pass Senate bill 6s. which offers them diff ferent way of getting into the court, from that provided for me and other citizens of the State?"
 Senator Reese began his argument, but before he was well in 1t the Senate adjourned for dinner.

The bears are attacking the market
with a persistence and a recklessness
that surpass all exhibitions Of the kin
Wall street has witnessed in years. At
the low prices which they have estab-
lished. there has been a decided revival
in the buying by small investors. The
short interest in the market is enor-
nous. and bankers say hat the floating
supply in some stocks has become so
short that on the inevitable day of reck-
oning there will be one Of the most sem
sational stampedes to cover in the his
tory of the street. The large banking
interests claim that there Is no good
reason for any further shrinkage in the
prices OF securities: that the crops are
satisfactory and will bring very much
higher prices than usual. and that. as
the agriculture yield is the true founda-
ton of our prosperity. the result of the
harvest must in time have a beneficial
effect. They also say that the effect Of
the contraction In business will soon be-
gin to be felt In the money market. and
that after the first Of h year-which
il only ten weeks anywhere will be
an accumulation Of n in New York
which will result In lower rates and an
