YOUNGEST SENATOR DEAD
William James Bryan of Florida.
Succunhs to Typhoid.
Taken Down With Grip Soon After
He Was Sworn In and Later With
Disease That Proved Fatal

Washington, D. C.-Deatn visited
the United States Senate for the sew
enth time since the adjournment of
the Fifty-ninth Congress on March 4
a year ago, taking William James
Bryan, of Florida, who died in Provi-
dence Hospital here at S.2l o'clock a.
m For more than seven weeks Mr..
Bryan had been suffering from ty-
phoid fever. For days his condition
had been critical, his life hanging in
the balance almost from hour to hour.
When the end came his wife and
brother were with him.
Mr.. Bryan was the youngest mem
Der of the Senate, taking his seat
when only three months past thirty
one years of age. His seat was next
to that occupied by William Pinkney
Whyte, of Maryland, aged eighty
four, the oldest member. Mr.. Whyte
divided his time between coaching
Mr.. Bryan, who sat on his right, and
Mr.. Gore, the blind orator from Okla
homa, who sat on his left. Mr..
Whyte was buried two days before
Mr.. Bryan's death.
Mr. Bryan actually served i'll the
Senate only trifie more than three
weeks He took his seat January 9,
succeeding to a vacancy occasioned
by the death of Senator Mallory, Of
Florida, December %, 1907.
The young Senator was a man of
pleasing personality and made a
large number of friends during his
brief service. He was an athlete
and apparently had enjoyed the best
of health. President Roosevelt took
a great liking to him and they were
companions on several long walks.
The President often declared, 81 wish
/ could have Mr.. Bryan in my Cab
met"
William James Bryan was the
youngest man to enter the Senate for
more than a century. Henry Clay
holds the record, having taken the
oath when only twenty-nine years
old, being a year under the constitu-
tional requirement that man must
be thirty years old before acquiring
that honor. The Legislature of Ken
lucky sought to evade this provision
of the Constitution by having Mr..
Clay appointed instead of electing
him. The Senate accepted this eva
sion and permitted Mr.. Clay to take
his seat.
Wllilam James Bryan was porn III
Orange County, Florida, October 10,
1876. He attended the public schools
of his State and Emory College,
Georgia, and was graduated from the
latter institution in 1895. Three
years later he was graduated from
Washington and Lee University,
where he took course in law. and in
1899 he began the practice Of his pro-
fession at Jacksonville, Fla. From
1902 until short time before his
appointment by Governor Bonnard to
succeed Senator Mallory, he served
as solicitor of the Duval County
Criminal Court of Record. He mar
ried Miss Janet Allan, of Lexington,
Va.

TWO RAILROADS CUT WAGES
Reducti0n Of 10 Per c 3nt. TO Be
Made by Penn. and Reading.
Fall River Mills Operated by NJ. G. D.
Borden Shut Down--Order Affects
$3.50 Workers in Cotton and Iron.

Philadelphia. - Having exhausted
practically every other means Of re-
ducing their operating expenses some
where near a parity with the heavy
falling off in gross earnings as the re-
5ult of the heavy depression in indus
trial and commercial circles without
accomplishing the desired results, Of
ficials of both the Pennsylvania and
the Reading roads reluctantly ad-
mitted that the next move would be
general reduction of wages.
When the cut comes, which may be
In April, and certainly not later than
May I, unless a material change for
the better suddenly develops, a cut
Of ten per cent. in the wages of en-
ployes making full time will likely
be made.
The complete reversal in policy
within the last few days on the part
of the Pennsylvania and the Reading
in retaining in the service only such
employees as are actually required
and putting them on full time, from
the enc established about four weeks
ago of giving partial employment to
all, indicates plainly the direction in
which the straws are drifting.
The plan contemplated will not APP
pear nearly so drastic as similar cut
with only half time. In other words,
employees working fifty-five hours a
week and having their wages cut ten
per cent, would still have left prac-
tically fifty hours of service at full
pay, as against twenty-seyen hours
under partial employment.
Furthermore. with their employees
on full time, less number would be
affected by such a cut than if it were
put in effect with an increased force
on one-half time, and the chances for
rebellion against such cut would be
materially lessened Again, the
chances of vigorous protest against
such reduction and possible strike
are still further lessened by the large
increase in the number of idle men
that the present plans Of the rail
roads entail.
