BRYAN IS LOCKED OUT
Finds Opera House Closed
When He Appears to
Address Elks.

Derby. Conn. Dec. For the first
time in his life William Jennings
Bryan was locked out of a hall this
morning. He had accepted an invita-
ton from Derby lodge of Elks to speak
at the Elks memorial services here
today. The lodge had changed the hour
OF it's meeting from evening to Il
o'clock in the morning and then to 9
o'clock to accommodate the speaker in
order that he might return to New York
to keep an appointment at 1890 o'clock
today.
Bryan learned that to reach New
York before noon he must leave Derby
before 9 o'clock, as there is no Sunday
to the Elks to change their hour for
the exercises to o'clock in the morn
ing. This the Elks declined to do.
Bryan came here from Torrington on a
train at TAO o'clock and breakfasted
with Mayor A. F. Howe. Then he and
his party walked from the mayors
home to the opera house shortly after
o'clock 1t had not been opened.
The party then went to the Elks
rooms and there met a few of the
members, and an effort was made to
get Mr.. Bryan to remain until o'clock
and then go by automobile to New
York. He declined to risk himself to
the uncertainties of automobile travel
and left about $50 o'clock.
The Elks are incensed over his ac-
ton. He is a member of Lincoln, Neb.
lodge of Elks.

WHY WESTON WALKED
Veteran Pedestrian Breaks
Silence and Explains why
He Made the Hike.

Chicago, Dec. Edward Payson
Weston last night cleared up a great
mystery and explained why hegwalked
from Maine to Chicago. In an of the
discussion that followed his tour from
one end of the country to the other
the chief question that was asked by
the plain citizen was:
What is he making the trip to ac-
complsh?"
Walks to Increase Wages.
1t was pointed out that the chief end
of man in most cases was to avoid
walking, and that the average man
rather sought the means to climb into
an automobile than to develop prowess
upon the wayside roads. Mr. Weston
at the Illinois Athletic club. thus ex-
planned why he had come across the
continent without contributing to the
gross receipts of the eighteen hour
trains.
For the last five years I have been
lecturing twenty weeks out of each
year a. 5000 a week 1 received an Of
fer from the same people that if I
would make this trip they would make
a new contract for three years at
$500 a week for twenty weeks of the
the year
Benefit for Weston Postponed.
The benefit that was scheduled to
have been given for the aged pedestrian
did not take place at the Garrlck yes
terday Mr.. Weston said that pending
a decision of the suit of D. A. Patten,
who had attached the receipts of the
benefit under the contention that he
had contract to manage Mr.. Weston.
he would not put the Illinois Athletic
club in the awkward attitude of being
held up in court by such a suit.
He retained Attorneys Lawrence &
Folsom to so before the court today
and seek to have dissolved the re-
straining order secured by Mr.. Patten.
He said last night that the only con-
tract Mr.. Patten ever had with him was
to manage him for one lecture in New
York state.
After the suit is settled in my favor.
as l hope and believe, I will have a
benefit. probably at the Illinois Ath-
letic club" said the mighty walker Of
the period.

FRENCH AIRSHIP LOST
Fear LaPatrie Has Drifted
into the Hands of
Germans.

Paris, Dec. 1.-The French have been
touched in a tender spot by the acct
dent to their favorite airship, La Pat
RE, which they fear may be irrevocably
lost. 1t became known today how the
airship broke loose from the soldiers
holding it at Verdun and drifted away.
1t is more than twenty-four hours
since La Patrie put earthly things be-
low and scared since when nothing has
been heard of it.
In the midst of reiterated charges
that the army was disintegrating with
corruption and anti-militarisn. French
men turned with love and pride to their
unquestioned French pre-eminence in
aerial navigation and solaced them
selves with the thought that these new
achievements gave them a place above
the terrestrial warriors of their sordid
neighbors. The browning series of sue
cessful experiments was La Patrie's re-
cent exploit in travelling to Verdun
near the German frontier.
All Ballast Falls out.
Although some early reports said the
car did not ascend it was learned to-
night the airship took flight following
a gust of wind that waited La Patrie
until all the ballast fell out of the car.
With the ballast gone the buoyancy was
too great for the 200 soldiers holding
it and they were obliged to let go.
some of them only released their grasp
when their feet were lifted clear Of
the ground.
1t was s o'clock and quite dark, and
the eye could not follow the flight
Of La Patrie The wind being from
the east, three officers jumped in an
automobile and followed the probable
course of the airship in the hope of Sc
curing it when it should descend. The
wind blowing at the rate Of fifty miles
an hour made the quest almost hope
less from the start. Moreover, the
buovancy of the airship likely would
cause it to rise TO an altitude Of nearly
q mile
AirShip Seen Over Wales.
London. Dec. An airship. believed

RE which broke loose on Saturday at
verdun. France. was seen passing over
Wales from various places in Cardigan
shire this morning, travelling seward
at a great altitude. Some of the spec
tators declared that three men were
clinging 70 the ship.
In the afternoon an airship passed
over Belfast. going northward, appar-
emily under control

LONDON HAS NO LOCAL PRIDE.
British Newspaper Takes WhirI AT
Big Metropolis.

Blindfold a Londoner Of the CEN
ter. put him down in the Caledoniaa
road or on Brook Green or at Herne
Hill, then take of the bandage and
ask him where he is. The chances
are ten to one he will have no notion
at all. They might just as we'll be in
the provinces. Practically they are in
the provinces. They are not inhabited
by Londoners in the true sense, but
by people whom accident or necessity
has brought within the metropolitan
area and who would be just as happy
200 miles away. Their atmosphere is
not metropolitan. They are not Of the
center. They are on the fringe.
That is why London has so little
local pride. It is not a community
It is a congeries of suburbs, each with
its separate narrow interests, grouped
around a little city whose citizens
have so wide a horizon that they can
spare next to no attention for local
affairs. How can civic patriotism be
expected from a man who spends all
his week-ends at a house in the coun-
try, the spring on the Riviera, the
autumn in Scotland or the Mediter-
ranean? London is to him only an in
cident with boundaries probably
smaller even than those which 1 have
suggested.
The real Londoners are those who
would not consider life worth living
anywhere else. The real London is
the small space wherein are to be
found the interests which I'LL their
lives. Hundreds of thousands Of sub
urbans have never seen a picture in
London. never been 10 the opera or
the play, could not tell St Paurs from
the Abbey or distinguish between st.
James and Grosvenor Square. Per
contra, few real Londoners know any
thing about the regions on the fringe.

THE MULES WON.
Judge Decided That They Couldn't
Possibly Make a Sudden Start.

Men in the east" said a well-known
westerner, while talking to some
friends in the lobby OF a downtown
hotel here last week, appear to me
to be mostly short and stockily built,
except the down-east Yankee. who is
usually long and lank.
Now, out in Gods country you sell
dom find a man under six feet and
broad in proportion. But I'll admit
II sometimes pays TO be small.
q remember that in the early 70s,"
the speaker went on, "a man lived in
my town who was over six feet four,
and he was about as broad as he was
long. and weighed 400 pounds or So
IN those good old days the festive
mule pulled the street cars.
Well, my friend brought suit
against the street railway company
for damages sustained by their sud
den starting a car in which he vas
standing.
During the trial the company
brought two OF their mules into the
courtroom as Witnesses for the de-
Tense
The jury viewed the complainant;
took a casual glance at the mules. and
at once brought in . verdict for the
company on the ground that the sud
den start was plainly impossible. -
