of business.

Chicago. Feb l.. - William Jennings
Bryan. in an interview defining the issues
Of the coming Presidential campaign. used
the exact language OF President Roose-
yelt's next 10 last message TO Congress.
Mr. Bryan said:
The chief question is whether the
great corporations shall control the gov
ernment or the government control the
corporations.
While he did not specifically charge the
Republicans with repudiating the Presi-
dents poli,y, he declared the Democrats
stand for TIE Rooseveltian xinciples and.
by intimati0n, accused the Republicans of
rejecting the platform Of their leader
This question OF corporations enters
into the consideration OF all others and
dominates them. he added. The big
corporations intrude in all matters per
tanning TO labor enter the interstate COM
meTce abuses by railroads, relate 10 the
tariff problem and peTmeate every chan
nei Of governmental affairs.
The Democrats purpose the elimination
of that baleful influence and the restora-
ton Of the government to a healthful state.
The latest returns from all parts of the
country indicate success. The Repub-
Hcans are split with dlssensions and per
sonaI factions. while the Democrats are
practically unit The slight friction in
the East will pass away without any per
ceptible eject before the time for voting
arrives"
AIr. Bryan lectured tonight before the
Catholic Woman's Society on the topic.
'-The Prince Of Peace" He said that
politicians should accept Christ as their
model and try 10 raise their minis to the
lofty plane Of the reformer Who Adesired
peace on earth and good viii to men"
Later he left for Indianapolis.

BLACKSTONE CASE DRAGs.
Witnesses Must BE summoned from
Eastern shore.

Special to The Washington Herald
Richmond. wa, Feb. 15.-It is extremely
doubtful if the real charges against Judge
j. w. G. Blackstone, Of the Eleventh
judicial circuit can be proven. even if
they are true.
1t is pointed out that in order to estab-
nsh the truth of the allegation it will be
necessary TO have substantial witnesses.
and that in order to get them it will be
necessary to summon certain prominent
married men of the Eastern Shore. It is
doubtful if the evidence of the women
mentioned in the case will ever be
reached.
The witnesses summoned for Judge
Blackstone have not yet been publicly
announced. Many OF the witnesses for
the prosecution have already been sum
moned, Or. w F. Drewry, Of the West
ern State Hospital, who testified as an
alienist at the Pavlinic murder trial, has
been summons ID to testify that Judge
Blackstone was asleep on the bench dur
ing the process of that trial.

HUGHES MANAGER HERE.
Sees President, but Is Reticent About
Purpose of His Pilgrimage.

State Senator Alfred R. Page. of
Manhattan. the head and front of the
Hughes boom management, came to
Washington yesterday to get the hang
OF things political
He was disappointed. apparently. in
not seeing Senator W Murray Crane.
Of Massachusetts, who is out of town.
He called at the White House. how
ever. and had an interview with Presi-
dent Roosevelt part of which relate
to the selection of delegates at large
from New York to the Republican
national convention.
While Senator Page was very reti-
cent when questioned, about his re-
puted conversation with the President
in regard to the selection of delegates
at large, ii was said by friends of Mr..
Pages that the statement that Gov.
Hughes would name President Schur-
man, of Cornell; f. W. stevens. Seth
Low. and Stewart L. Woodford, as
New YoTks big four was wholly un-
authorized and did not represent the
governors views.
Mr. Page had nothing to say on pol
itics. and did not care to furnish very
much information about his visit here.

Mexican Goat Raising.

THE last year has. on account Of the
extended and sharp drought i'm this part
of Mexico. been one of the poorest in
many years for those engaged in goat

templating an investment in that bust
ness in this state can buy goats, either
fat or thin. at greatly reduced figures
from the usual price The average price
in Mexican currency (Sl of which is worth

bought for 1915. and the best thin ones

PREDICTS PEACE IN EAST.
Catholic Bishop Says Japan Is Not
DESTROYS Of War.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Bishop T. A.
Hendrick. of the Dioceseg Of Cebu. P. L..
says that he is sure there will be no war
between this country and Japan If the
initiative rests with Japan. The bishop,
who had been in the Philippines for four
years. arrived here yesterday on the liner
Korea from Japan. He is on his way TO
Rome to make a report TO the Pope.
AS a resident of the Philippines he was
deeply concerned in the rumors of war,
and determined while in Japan to learn of
the situation at first hand His position
gave him access to sources of authorita-
tive information. and what he learned, ne
said. satisfied him that the war cloud was
not of Japan's making.
Seventy per cent Of Japan's exports
come to this country" said the bishop.
Japan is financially crippled but deter
mined to recuperate. and the japanese
realize that war with America would no,
only mean the loss of her best market
the only market for many OF her most
profitable products-but that in the event
OF war they would be unable to borrow
the money to carry 1t on"
