FAIRvIEW. lincoln. Neb., Aug. A.
in striking contrast with yesterday.
William J. Bryan today spent a busy
day. The torrid weather did not seem
to affect those deSirous Of taking the
long trip TO Fairview. They came in
great numbers. some on business bear
ing on the campaign and many purely
out Of q desire TO pay their respects.
The procession of visitors began early
and kept up until well into the evening.
The intensity of the heat did not seem
to disturb Mr.. Bryan much. He cor
daily greeted everybody who called
and personally escorted large parties
through his home.
Early in the day he gave out a state
ment in which he referred to Mr.. Taft s
talks into a phonograph and seized
upon the opportunity TO express the
belief that henceforth the use of the
phonograph for the dissemination of
political speeches would be regarded as
a dignified method of discussing public
questions.
Mr.. Bryan evinced much pleasure at
the assurance given him by delegation
of business men of Quincy, ILL.,, and of
several farmers from Phillips and Nor
ton counties, Kansas, speaking for
many others that he would receive
goodly support from them.
Most of the afternoon was taken up
by a conference with ]. H. Atwood, a
member of the national committee from
Kansas, the conversation being devoted
largely to the issues of the campaign
and Mr.. Bryan's speech at Topeka the
latter part of the present month.
The decision of Mr.. Bryan to remain
at home during October is not, as he
stated, ironbound. 1t will all depend
upon the circumstances. He said to-
day it was barely possible he would
have to depart from that program and
make some speeches at points where
his advisers deemed it most desirable.
At any rate, he at present has not fixed
upon the time when he will enter the
state of New York.
There are some who think he should
go to New York before the state con-
Vention the latter part of September,
but his mind will not be made up util
he has held conferences with others of
the Democratic leaders.

LIVES FORTY HOURS
WITHOUT A BRAIN
New York Baby's Head Almost Flat,
and Doctors Claim 1t to Be Only
Human Being of Its Kind
Ever Born
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.--As a refuta-
ton of the axiom that no human being
can live without a brain, the physi-
clans of Bellevue hospital are citing
the case of Marie Giacomo, who died
of 40 hours. An autopsy revealed
the fact that she had come into the
world practically brainless.
The child, when seven hours old, was
taken to the hospital by it's father,
Leonardo Giacomo. He said he had
brought the child for treatment be-
cause there was something wrong with
its head. When the child was un-
wrapped from Voluminous clothing it
was almost startling sight. Its head
was almost fiat on top and its eyes
stood out from their sockets. 1t was,
however, breathing normally and cried
as an ordinary infant does. Unlike
most infants less than day old, 1t
took nourishment greedily.
1t was thought at the hospital that
the shape of the child's head was a
malformation and that possibly the
soft bones of the skull would respond
to a slow molding process that would
restore the -lead to a normal shape.
It was not dreamed that the infant
was wholly without brains.
Last night, however the child died
while 1t was being fed. There was
nothing to indicate approaching death
and no struggle. Simply the infant
ceased to breathe. An autopsy re-
vealed that beyond a rudimentary cere-
brum, that was scarcely more than
an atom, the infant had absolutely no
brain. The doctors declare there is
not another case of a human living
without brain known to science.

CLAIMS
IOWA SENATOR
CONTINUED from Page one,

carried through all the great measures
for the conduct of the Civil War, the
re-establishment of the national credit
and the development of the national
resources. He was a contemporary of
and a colaborer with every one of the
great men whose services now are rec
ognized as of inestimable value to the
nation-Lincoln, Stanton, Chase, Sum-
ner, Blaine, Edmunds, Sherman, Gar
field, Logan, Trumbull, Morton and
others.
Aids LlncoIn's Nomination
His aid in the nomination of Abra-
ham Lincoln as Republican candidate
for president in 1860 was perhaps Sem
ator Allison's first great service for
his country. AS an Iowa delegate to
the Republican convention in Chicago
in that year he Joined the other party
leaders who had determined upon the
nomination of Lincoln and by their
united efforts their object was at
tanned.
When the war broke out he was
selected by Governor Kirkwood as a
member of the latter's staff for the
purpose of raising troops. In those
trying times he demonstrated his un-
swerving loyalty to his nation and his
willingness to make any personal sac
rifice if only the nation he loved might
gain.
On the ways and means committee
of the national house he began the
career which made him the best au-
thority in the country on revenues and
expenditures of the government. For
more than forty years he has been
assigned by the judgment of his col
leagues in house and senate to the
responsible task of planning the rev.
enueS and supervising the expendi-
lures, and no man who ever had part
in this work had the confidence of
both houses more completely.
The careful scrutiny of thousands of
items which make up the annual ap-
preparation bills require a most pains
taking labor, together with broad in
teiligence.

Rush Trains to Rescue


The Great Northern and Canadian
Pacific did not lose moment in rush
ing trains to the rescue and drawing
the refugees beyond the danger zone.
The people huddled together on two
clearings outside the town and were
safe from the fiendish flames which
threatened life as well as home, until
the trains arrived. Mr.. Howson says
that abundance of food was soon
brought in for the sufferers and there
was no hardship on that score. The
foreigners acted well and, fortunately,
there was no liquor, every drop of that
commodity going to feed the flames.
He says there is not much doubt
about the sixty men and two women
being burned in No. lumber camp
and in Fernie it was stated two women
were burned. Children are missing, but
are believed to have escaped the flames
Mr.. Howson estimated the fire zone,
outside of the mountain forests, at
twenty-six miles. F'ernie is gone and
Sparwood, lumber camp, is destroyed.
When he passed through Michel 1t was
being kept drenched and men were
fighting the flames around Cranbrook.
