BRYAN MEN ORGANIZE
Max Pepper Warns Members
Against Hartman influence

A little band of democrats. many of
them members of the Iroquois club,
who have formed themselves into an
organization having for its object the
nomination and election of William j.
Bryan, met at lunch in the Mint res
taurant yesterday to hear Max Pepper
outline the presidential situation. Pop
per declared that E. H. Hartman exer-
cises a pernicious influence over the
democratic party.
The discussion was of the most in
formal character, but everything that
was said gave expression to the con-
viction of the speakers that the coun-
try needs Bryan and that he should be
the democratic nominee.
Max Pepper. who has just returned
from tour of the state, undertaken in
the interests of democratic politics, re-
ported that the outlook for success in
the fall election was very bright. He
said he found strong sentiment in the
interior in favor OF Bryan.
SHALL CORPORATIONS RULER
The issue made by Bryan" con-
tinued Pepper, passing to a broader
consideration of his subject, ''is simply
this: Shall the government be domi-
mated by the corporate interests or
shall the people control it?'
Pepper declared that the answer to
this question defined the essential diff
ference between democratic and repub-
lican partisanship. He traced the
origin of many of the Roosevelt policies
to Bryan and declared that one of the
great objections to Roosevelt was that
he was attempting to name his success
sor.
Hartman dominates the affairs of
the democratic party as we'll as the re-
publican party to too great an extent"
Pepper continued. There are too many
democrats not in harmony with de-
mocracy. That is why it is going to
be SO hard to get delegation to the
convention instructed for Bryan. The
men who have not succeeded in defeat
ing Taft want to name candidate for
the democratic convention"

Suffer and Records Gone-Avert
Panic at Pythian Jubilee.

Portland, Me--A fire that caused
a loss of s1,0oO,OOo destroyed the
city hall and police buildings and en-
| dangered the lives of more than 700
| persons.
Although known as city hall, the
building was divided between city
and county offices, while the police
building also sheltered the Supreme,
Judicial and Municipal courts.
There was no loss of life, a re-
markable fact considering there were
more than 700 members of the West
ern Maine Knights of Pyth.as in the
auditorium of the city hall when the
flames were discovered
Only a few persons were hurt,
Chief Engineer Melville Eldridge
being the only one known to be
seriously injured, and he was able
to direct the fight against the flames.
The financial loss is estimated at
81 900, 900, but this does not include
papers and documents in the registry
of deeds, where everything was de-
stroyed
Other city departments were swept
clear of everything except the city
clerks and the city treasurer's offices,
money and securities in the latter
being believed to be intact
One of the most valuable libraries
in the State, the Greenleaf law col
lection. was destroyed
When the flames were discovered
William A. Turner, chairman of the
meeting of the Pythian body, was
met in the hallway by three men,
who acquainted him with the condi-
ton of affairs. Coolly he entered the
auditorium and assembled the stage,
interrupting the rites of investiture
which was going on at the time. He
calmly told the assembled members
of the existing conditions, saying
there was no need for hurry, and
himself supervising system of or
derby departure, which proved effect
i've in averting panic and in bring
ing out more than 700 persons with
out an injury.
When the flames communicated to
the police building, where the city
jail is located, it was decided to liber-
ate the prisoners, and they were set
free. These prisoners had been ar
rested for only minor offenses.

New York Unemployed $4,000
Reports Greatly Exaggerated

New York City. An exhaustive in

has disclosed that the estimated num-

here has been largely exaggerated.
Instead of 100000, as has been
stated, the number will hardly ex-
coed $4,000 This, the paper says,
does not include habitual Migrants.
According to Charities, the NUM-
cipal Lodging House, which has beds
for $50 men, had a total overflow
during December of $500. This is
the first overflow since December.
1904, when the number was 1922. In
1908 it was 416. Prior to that it

 Taking to an Advertiser representa- tive last night, one of the men who has been active in organizing the Board of Trade stated sthat such a move would not only give many business men the opportunity of seeing the market quo- tations, but it would mean q great deal for Montgomery. Montgomery aud Birmingham are conspicuous in the Snuth from the absence of cotton ex- changes or a Board of Trade. where the market quotations are obtained. Be- tween the two cities Montgomery has taken the lead in the matter and mem bers of the organization are confident that their efforts may some day De re warded Sy the erection of a fine build. ing for a cotton exchange, just as oth.

 in the last few days. when rsc- tors have been unable to get the quo tations except through private tele- grams. they have been carrying on their business under a disadvantage while 1t is claimed that some sales have been made where the farmers lost money owing tc the fact that the lat- est reports were not obtainable.
 All of this will be eliminated again and Montgomery will not only have . full market report coming in constant- ly, but there will be an organization in the shape of a Board of Trade that 1t is thought will be an aid to the city
