Roanoke, Va, April 13.-Wil-

preston on the suggestion made
by John Temple Graves of At

day night at Chattanooga that
Bryan nominate Roosevelt for
president. MIR. Bryan said:

it is my duty to nominate Mr..
Roosevelt. In both of my cam

ineligible for second term, l

velt for second term, even if
there were no other reason"
In speaking of the Hartman
Roosevelt episode, Mr.. Bryan to.
day said:
"The president seems unduly
excited over the alleged $5.000,- =
900 raised by Wall street to pre-
vent his reelection. If Wall
street is opposed to any doctrine
held by President Roosevelt it is
certainly not Republican doc
trine. When we came up against
the corruption fund in 1896, we
found no more ardent champion
of these special interests than
Mr.. Roosevelt"

dict of guilty of murder in the
first degree and five for acquit-
tai on the ground of insanity

last January has been trying
Harry K. Thaw reported today
after AZ hours and eight minutes
OF deliberation that it could not
possibly agree upon verdict.
The II men were promptly dis.
charged by Justice Fitzgerald,
who declared that he, too, be-
lieved their task was hopeless.
Ihawwas remanded TO the Tombs
without bail TO await a second
trial on the charge of having
murdered Stanford White, the
noted architect.
When this new trial would
take place no one connected
with the case could tonight ex-
press an opinion. District At.
torney Jerome declared that
there were many other persons
accused of homicide awaiting o
trial and Thaw would have
to take his turn with the rest =.
AS to possible change of
venue both the district attorney
and counsel for Thaw declared
they would make no move.
Thaw's attorneys will have a
conference tomorrow with the
prisoner to decide upon their
next step. They may make an
early application Tor bail. Mr..
Jerome said he would strenuously
oppose il. He added the belief
that as seven jurors had voted
for "guilty" his opposition pro-
badly would be successful. In
that event Thaw has another
long summer before him in the
city prison, for his case on the
already crowded criminal calen-
dar can not possibly be reached
until some time next tall.

Miss ( Clara Barrett Strait,
Lancaster's Talented Ar
tist, Painting Portraits of
Distinguished Men, at her
Washington Studio.

Washington special in the Col
umbia State: Three portraits
of distinguished South Carolin
mans are nearing completion in
the art gallery of Miss CLARA
Strait, the adopted daughter of
DIR. L. j. Strait of Lancaster,
former representative in con
gress. These portraits are of
Col. Joseph Daniel Pope, Gen.
johnson Hagood and Senator
Tillman.
The portrait of Col. Pope is
for Mrs. S. Reed Stoney, daugh-
tor of Col. Pope. She will pre-
sumably hang it in her home.
The portrait of Gen. Hagood was
ordered ty the Daughters of the
Confederacy and it will be pre-
sented to the State of South Gar
olina and will be hung III the
State house The portrait OF
Senator Tillman is to displace
the one already at Winthrop col
1ege in the front parlor. This
picture at Winthrop, Senator
Tillman says, is a "monstosity".
He does not want any monstros-
ity at Winthrop purporting to
look like him, and this one which
Miss Strait is painting is to take
the place of the monstrosity. 1t
is life size portrait, three quar-
ter length, and represents the
senator in his most pleasing at
titude of countensnce. He does
not seem mad with anybody and
his eye wrinkles with something
like sure enough humor.
The portrait of Col. Pope is
life size, though only bust. The
colonel is smiling and happy and
his genial, lovable nature is ad-
mirably shown in his features as
they are in life. The face is a
little more highly colored than
he usually is, but Miss Strait
says that when the picture is
hung he will not be so ruddy.
Gen. Hagood~is in a Confed-
crate generals uniform, the like
ness being taken from picture
when the general was in his mid
dle-lite vigor. There was no
photograph of him in Confeder-
ate uniform, however. Miss
Strait painted the picture from
a number of photographs ana
from frequent consultation with
Capt. Johnson Hagood, grand
son of Gen. Hagood, who is in
the United States army, now sta
toned in Washington.
Miss Strait is the artist, it will
be remembered, who painted
the portrait of Gen. Micah
Jenkins, which was recent
ly unveiled in the State house.
She has had studio in Washing.
ton since 1908.
