BRYAN CALLS ON
THE PRESIDENT
NebraSkan Enthusiastic Over
His Plan to Settle Disturbed
Financial Conditions.
SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT
DOES NOT EXPECT TARIFF LEG
ISLATION THIS WINTER.

washington, Nov. 23.-President
Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan
were in conference for half an hour in
his private Office today.
81 was not invited to CALL" Mr.. Bry-
an said on leaving. but 1 called up on
the telephone and asked if the presi-
dent would receive callers. On being
informed he would, 1 came simply to
pay my respects to the president.
Bryan's Financial Plan.
Mr.. Bryan was not willing to discuss
the details of his interview, but was
free to add details TO the financial plan
which he proposed a few days ago. In
reviewing every measure of relief
which had come to his notice, Mr.. Bry-
an said nothing seemed to be intended
to meet the situation as effectively,
and at the same time as simply, as the
plan he suggested. This plan, he said,
was simply to have the government
insure depositoTs in national banks
against loss by reason of the failure of
the banks. 1t was not intended, he
said. to have the government collect a
fund for this purpose, to be kept on
hand. Whenever a national bank
should be required to pay it's depositors
it would be the duty of the government
to make an assessment on all national
banks to meet the amount of loss by
reason of the failure. This assess
ment, Mr.. Bryan said, would be in
finitesimaL.
Opposition to this plan, Mr.. Bryan
conceded, might be made by state
banks who would be left out of the
plan. The answer to this, he said, was
that the states should individually take
up the same scheme and stand as a
guarantee against loss to depositOrs in
state banks.
NebTaskan Enthusiastic,
Mr.. Bryan said as yet no plan had
/ been made to have his relief measure
presented in congress. However. he
! felt very enthusiastic over the pros
poets of its ultimate success.
Being asked as to his position on the
tariff, Mr.. Bryan said it was evident
that nothing could be hoped for in the
way of tariff revision during this, q
Republican congress.

Currency Increased.

The new treasury certificates of in
debtedness have already made their
appearance in the treasury as secur-
ity and circulation. Additional national
bank notes to the amount of s., 900, COO,
based on the new certificates, were
shipped to New York this afternoon,
and other large shipments are in sight
for early in the coming week. Among
the other engagements is one of 81,
200 900 which has been made by Vice
President Wexler of the Whitney-Cen-
trail National bank of New Orleans,
acting for several other New Orleans
banks. The total shipments of addi-
tional circulation taken out since Nov.
is now about s36,O0O,0OO. 1t is under
stood that Secretary CortelyOu is max
ing allotments of the new certificates
to individual national banks in New
York, which fact is assumed to mean
that the secretary and the banks them
selves favored the plan rather than
action through a syndicate.

tiers discussed will be the shooting
team to represent Hawaii.
Colonel Johnson will do his utmost
TO nave every man in the regiment
practise shooting right along from now
on. He wants every guardsman, ir-
respective of rank, to try and make
the team and is DESTROYS of having as
many enlisted men on the team as pos
sible In his opinion. the experience
which the team had at Seagirt in 1905,
will enable this years team to make
splendid showing.

CONSIDERATION OF
AUGUSTA COUNTY
Continued from Page one.)

the hundred, came up in the regular
course Of business.
The insurgents got in their work
as much as possible, but there were
not enough Of them to do any harm,
although some of the amendments
they proposed to the measure came
within one of going through.
Blue amended the bill to IS cents
instead of 80, and others wanted to
make It more. Blues amendment, af.
ter being the caase OF debate for about
an hour, was finally carried.
There were warm arguments for
and against the amendment, Forman
taking the administration leadership
IL favor of the bill as reported and
Bailey and Blue against it. Little,
page and Kidd, Democrats. also
spoke In favor of the amendment, as
did half dozen others. Most OF the
Senators said their counties needed
more money, and this had telling
effect in favor OF the amendment.
Marshall, of Hancock, moved tc
strike out tax commissioner" In the
sentence where 1t Is provided thai
tax payers and others, including the
commissioner and prosecutor, shall
make objections when the county
courts go too far. This was the cause
OF debate which lasted until the ad.
journment of the Senate and the bill
had been ordered engrossed and to
third reading.
The early part of the session OF
the Senate was devoted to routine
measures. with the exception Of one
instance, when Senator Campbell
asked the railroad committee what
had become of the Jim Grow bill, the
railroad commission and 2-cent rate
bills. He thought they might have
been stifed by the railroad lobbyists,
but was told they would be reported
as soon as tho public hearing had been
held, which would be the first Of the
week.
McKown asked to have his insur,
aace commission bill taken up out OF
its regular order, and this was op.
posed by Marshall, and on vote the
motion OF McKown was lost.
Thorn, of Harrison, introduced the
bulk goods bill.
Hill Of Tyler, introduced bill pro.
yiding for a high school for that coun.
ty to be located near MiddIebourne.
A resolution proposing an amend.
ment providing for the initiation and
referendum reported adversely by iu.
dietary. was rejected after hard
fight on the part OF its sponsor
Campbell, Of Jefferson, and several
others.
The Huntington ripper bill was
postponed until next Monday. 50 that
the new Senator from that district
might be present to take part.

Boy Invited for
Mothers Shame
APPROACHING MURDER TRIAL All
PA7kERssuRG is CAUSING
MUCH TALK.

PARKERsBURG, jan, 2s.-The de.
Tense in the case of young Leedsome,
OF Burning Springs, the Writ county
boy who shot and killed James Kirk.
endail a few months ago, will be an
other phase Of the unwritten law. The
boy will admit the shooting. but will
plead that he slew totavenge wrong
tc his mother. and in defense to his
dead mothers honor.
1t is alleged that Kirkendall was in.
innate, and it is said criminaly SO,
with Mrs. Lesdsome. The boy viii
swear that he visited the home and
aud that he Influenced Mrs. Leedsome,
in his fathers absence. to yield to him.
Subsequently 1t is alleged that a
breach resulted between the elder
Leedsome and his wife over her alleg.
ed intimacy with Kirkendall. Certain
II is that the two separated.
This, 1t is claimed, weighed heavily
on the boys mind. The mother is in
the grave. The husband and the son,
1t is alleged. and will be sworn, never
fcrgave the alleged despoiler Of their
home.
It is understood that the boy will
swear that Kirkendall brazenly twlt.
ted him about his mothers shame and
about the relations he CKirkendall)
had with her. This SO incensed the
boy and his father that the murder
resulted.
From what can be learned the cid.
e. Leedsome will deny that he had
any part in the actual murder,
either as principal, an meter, or
an accessory, although claiming that
he would have been justified. The faith,
er was arrested about week age
charged with being an accessory, Il
being alleged that he loaded the pistol
from which the fatal shot was fired
and that he told the boy to commit the
murder.
The new phase of the case has been
public gossip although there are those
who disavow any belief in the claim
that the boy was even partly justifiei.
All of the parties are prominent.
The murder occurred about month
t,ago. in fact day or two after New
Years. Kirkendall lived three or -four
days after the shooting, finally sue.
cumbing at the hospital in this city,
where herh had been taken for an oper.
alton. in vain attempt to save his
life. ''e7
The trial of the accused father and
son Will probably come up next
month. Circuit Court opens there
next aionday with Judge Moss presid.
ing and indictments are foregone con-
clusions. The defense processes TO
be ready for trial as quick as the for.
malities are disposed Of. Attorney T.

tanned to defend both the Leedsomes.
