BRYAN GETS A SCARE.
Grandson Found Missing at New York
Pier, but Is Located in ~
StaterOom

NEW YORK, April 21.-William j.
Bryan's grandson, little Bryan Leavitt,
gave the Democratic leader a bad scare
today. Mr.. Bryan had gone to the pier
to meet the steamer Minnehaha, upon
which Mrs. Bryan, her daughter, Mrs.
Ruth Leavitt, and Mrs. Leavitts two
children were returning from a several
months visit in Europe. When the
steamer swung in at the pier Mr.. Bryan
was one of the first ON board. He found
Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Leavitt awaiting
him on the upper deck. His grand
daughter, Ruth, also was there, but lit
tle Bryan was nowhere to be seen. A
search which extended over the ship,
from one end to the other, was not sue
cessful. Finally his mother found him
where he had hidden himself under a
berth in his mothers stateroom. When
he was drawn out of his hiding place,
little Bryar threw himself into his
grandfather's arms and the big crowd
which had gathered on the deck watched
the meeting with enthusiastic apprecia-
ton.

ORCHARD CALLED
INCARNATE DEVIL
IDAHO SENATOR EXPRESSES DIS
APPROVAL OF EFFORT TO Sc
CURE LENIENCY.
"COMPROMISE is COWARDICE"
Reference to Murder Of Steunenberg Is
Made in Condemning Negroes
at Brownsville.
BORAH MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90
Senator Borah of Idaho, who, as spe-
cial counsel for that state, conducted
the prosecution of w. D. Haywood, Sec
rotary Of the Western Federation of
Miners. whose trial on the charge of
numbering former Gov. Steunenberg at
tracted wide attention last year, today
found opportunity in his maiden speech
in the Senate to express his disapproval
of any effort to secure leniency for Har-
ry Orchard, the self-confessed thrower
Of the bomb which caused Steunenberg S
death. The utterance was part OF
speech by the senator on the Browns
vile ARRAY, and was made in connection
with a condemnation of all efforts to
condone the offense at Brownsville. 1t
was as follows:
"A cold blooded, inhuman, incarnate
devil blows to pieces an ex-governor
upon the doorstep of his home, is caught
and confesses, and before the grave OF
the man who died a martyr to law and
order is green, sentimentalism puts a
halo upon the brow of the blacklist spirit
that ever escaped the crypts of hell.
"Cowardice to Compromise"
"Men wearing the uniform of a soldier
Of the Union, the insignia of government
quiet of night, while homes are defence
less. assault and attempt to murder
whole families and finally succeed in
committing one murder. TO compromise
with such an act or such deed is cow
ardice; it is betrayal of government; it
10 an insult to every intelligent and right
thinking negro, for it presupposes he is
traitor to his country and criminal
at heart"
Oratory Is Striking.
The speech was made notable by many
striking passages of oratory, and attract
ed general interest. Besides containing
an analysis of the testimony taken in the
Brownsville case it was in reply to Sen
ator Foraker's recent discussion of the
same subject. Mr.. Borah made very
clear his belief that the evidence es
tablished a conspiracy on the part of
some of the negro soldiers of the Twen-
ty-ffth regiment to shoot up the town.
II contend" said Mr.. Borah, that the
evidence in this case is simply over
whelming and conclusive against the col
ored soldiers"
Army Morale Paramount.
The morale of the army, he said. is
paramount to any mans right to remain
in it. If any man in the Twenty-ffth
regiment participated in the riot and if
others connived at the crime, by conceal
ing knowledge of it to shield the guilty
parties, then both were guilty alike, he
declared.
Mr.. Borah dwelt upon the enormity of
the offense and the necessity Of condign
punishment, saying: mo more serious
charge than this was ever made against
q soldier of the United States. For less
offenses, many soldier has been con-
demned and shot at sunrise. To my mind
it was treason; if not technically so, yet
morally treason in a most aggravated
form

Meanwhile, It's Owner Sat By,
Watching the MOnarch's Work.
Much-traveled people will testify
that the most stupid people in the
whole world are found in Mecklenburg,
Germany, says the Kansas City Star.
Natives of that district are said to be
even more dense than the inhabitants
of the county Of Wiltshire, England,
and that is saying a good deal. The
Inhabitants of both of these places will
admit the impeachment, but they do
not call it stupidity; they have anoth-
err name for it. They have exalted it
into a virtue and call it ''imperturba-
bility' In the United States, if a
country yokel didn't know the way to
town fifteen miles away, ne would be
accounted a fool But in Mecklenburg
the peasant one meets on the highways
doesn't know, has never been there and
never wants to go That is imperturb
ability.
It is a mistake, however, to think
that the country dullard never "scores,"
as the king of Wurtemburg has discov-
cred. Recently that royal individual
went to shoot with the Grand Duke
Adolphus Of Mecklenburg. Accompan-
led by the grand dukes eldest son they
drove in u luxurious motor car to the
famous deer park at Nelstrelitz. On
the way they came upon a country
tilt-cart drawn at q snaiPs pace along
the narrow road by white horse.
Perched on the seat were peasant
and his good wife. The chauffeur blew
his horn and much to the royal party's
surprise the horse began to prance
briskly.
AS the peasant made no attempt to
pull the horse and cart out Of the road
the chauffeur repeated the "honk,
honk" The horse reared and jumped
about. but strange to say, the peasant
and his wife sat stolidly on the seat
without any signs Of excitement. Final
ly the horse Topped over on it's side
and lay quite still.
Immediately out jumped the king,
luc SIdllC utlhS ClIC oOd VI liz
grand duke and came running up to
the fallen horse. The grand duke made
a dive at the horses head, his son
grabbed the bride and the king mar
rowly escaped serious injury in unfas-
tening the traces while the horses's
hind legs were working like fails. All
this while the peasant and his good
wife sat calmly on their seat and
watched the royal trio perspire at their
self-imposed task. Finally after great
deal of pulling and coaxing the white
horse scrambled to its feet and patient
ly submitted to being reharnessed by
the three pairs Of hands which prob
ably never before had done such hum
BILE work When everything was in
order again, the grand duke handed
the peasant piece of money.
There. there, my good man." he
said. ITS all right this time, anyhow.
Now you can tell your crones that the
grand duke and his son picked up your
horse. and the king Of Wurtemburg
helped them"
