VERY BUSY DAY

BRIDGES DAUGHTER.
FINANCIAL SITUATION
Discussed BY Him--Says Restoring
Confidence is Main Thing Now
-AGovernment Should Guaran-
tee Bank Deposits.

Washington, Nov 2l.--William J..
Bryan had busy day in Washington.
He arrived this morning and went inn
lmediately to the residence Of Cotter
IT, Bridges. on Capitol HILL He was
the guest this afternoon at the wei.
ding of Bridges daughter, his attend-
ance CT the ceremony being one Of
| the objects jof his visit to Washington,
Bryan received many callers and
about noon had conference with
several friends. Bryan, speaking OF
the financial situation, said he thought
the most important thing now was to
restore confidence in bank depositors.
This he thought could be done by the
government guaranteeing all deposits
in the national banks. The banks
thus guaranteed to agree to reinl-
burse the government for any losses
incurred, and to make this reimburse
ment in proportion to their deposits,
The advantage OF this plan is
"First-That every depositor in
such guaranteed bank will feel Sc
cure.
"Second-The expense of it will be
paid by the banks which get the bener
fits Of 1t, and this expense would be
small compared with the benefit
gained.
"Third--It can be put into effect
Immediately, thus restoring conf
dence and enable business to be re-
sumed."
Bryan pointed out that in the past
forty years the average loss to a.
positors has been less than i-l0 OF on
or one per cert Tho government
would have ample security in the
capital surplus OF the banks which
would voluntarily oiin IN the plan.

New York, Nov 21.-The Cunard
liner Mauretania broke her sister
shin Lusitania's record today, when
at noon she completed days run OF
GA knots. The Busitania's best rec
ord for day is 61S. AS a day on the
" est bound voyage is about "a
hours and 80 minutes long, the Maui
retania is coming west at the rate OF
about 25 knots. The news OF the
Mauretania's record days run was
contained both in news dispatches re-
ceived by the Associated Press and
in wireless message from Captain
Pritchard Of the Mauretania, received
by the Cunard line officials. Pritch'
ard added that the ship was 529 miles
east of Sandy Hook at noon today and
that he expected to reacn the HOOK
about a. m. Friday. This would
make the Mauretanias' time for the
massage five days and two hours or
about seven hours slower than the
Lusitanias fastest west bound voy'
age.

kid" Herman tonight, and his right
to go with the best or them BY easily
beating Herman In ifteen round
fight. No decision was awarded be-
cause Governor Cummins ordered the

probable any time and when the fight
ended Herman was hanging on to Nc
Farland. who rained terrific blows at
short range on Herman-s neck, head
and face.
Herman was game 70 the last under
the severe pummelling. The pace was
slow until the last half of the con
test, when the boxers let loose as u
punches were to decide the bout in
