LORD TWEEDMOUTH CUT
Cabinet Member Breaks Down Men-
 tally---Commission Acts for Him.

London. June 6-The yelled rumors of the physical and mental condition Of Lord Tweedmouth, lord president of the council, which were held In political circles as partly accounting for his in- discretion In the correspondence with Emperor William with regard to the naval policy of Great Britain while he was first lord of the admiralty, are now referred to more openly as the dark cloud that has swept down upon him while still in the prime of man hood" and 1t is announced that he has been ordered to take the rest cure in the country owing to sudden ner- vous breakdown.

N-BRYAN FUND
Sheehan, Chairman of National Committee, Says Transaction
 Was Legitimate.
TAKEN FROM GENERAL. FUND
Says Slo,000 Was Not Contributed by Capitalist, at Least Not
 Directly.

New York, June 5.-Whatever money was sent to Nebraska for use in the campaign of 1904 was taken from the general fund of the democratic nation al committee, which was made up of voluntary contributions from many persons, according to letter written by William r, Sheehan of this city to William J. Bryan at Lincoln, Neh, on June 1, and made public today, The letter bears upon the allegation which has been published that Thomas r. Ryan contributed sl5,O00 to the state campaign in Nebraska in 1904 through William F. Sheehan, chairman of the democratic national committee who, 1t was charged, gave the money to T. s. Allen of Nebraska,
 In making the contents of the letter public Mr. Sheehan's representative to- day called attention to the fact that 1t bore date of June lst, and said that there was no delay on MT. Sheehan' s part in notifying MT. Bryan of the facts, The letter follows.
 June l. 1908. Hon. Wm. ]. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.
 Dear Sir-I have read the article published in the New York World on May SOth last relating to campaign eX- pendltures in the state of Nebraska, in 1904. In view of the fact that I was chairman of the executive commit tee of the democratic national commit tee in that campaign, permit me to say that whatever money was sent to the state of Nebraska was taken from the ! general fund, which money was made up of voluntary contributions from many persons. Why there should be any criticism of this particular expend- iture, am at loss to understand. The ! transaction was a perfectly legitimate one on both sides There was not the i slightest suggestion at the time from 1 any body that you had any knowledge on the subject or that knowledge of I the transaction was to be h. yht home to you. l think it is pl oably 1 needless for me to say that neither di- rectly or indirectly was l responsible for the publication in question and were 1t not for the fact that I believe an act of injustice has been done you, would not even say what l have in i this letter.
 Yours truly,

 than the other He recalled the fight for the extension to Lombard street m 1884 in which he stated he had been interested at which time an order for Lombard street was signed by Mayor Lewis and an assessment of damages had been signed by Mayor York in 1888. When the matter como up again he declared that Alton street was passed because it was understood that Lombard street was out of the ques- ton and could not be secured because of the opposition of the railroad which owned land 'n the way.
 Continuing he declared that Colonel Fox and other representatives of the Manufacturers Street Railway com pany had come to him and told him that the extension to Alton street would be very prciudicial to their ln- terests and after listening to them he had promised to take them down anu try to gain an interview with Presl- dent Mellen for them. This he did At this meeting the matter was gone over and Mir Mellen had stated that he would try to bring about the route they asked for then in the belief that the Lombard street route had be- come possible. EX Mayor Studley de- clared he had vetoed the order for Alton street which veto was sustained by the board with but one dissenting vote. He added that 1t would be im- possible to have run the trolley line through Alton street which he had considered would be a great public service.
 Chairman Miller then asked him if he thought it would be fair for the railroad company 70 force the city to pay for this retaining wall and then get the use of the street for trolley purposes for nothing to which he answered that this was a legal mat ter and he did not wish to give an opinion ot 1t. But" he added, If had known that there would have to be a retaining wall and that the city would have to pay for 1t and that it would cost S100,00Q l would have favored it rather than the other

RAILROAD MUST OBEY
Supreme Court Upilolds Legality of
 State Commissions Orders.

Madison, Wis, June 5.-The Wis consin railroad commission act to- day was upheld by the supreme court in the case of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie Railway company against the commission. The court favorably established the con. stltutionallty of the railroad commls- sion and the law that created 1t. This decision is the first in which the principle of commission control of corporations has been directly con- tested
 The case grew out of the refusal of the company to stop its train at Dwight, dairy station between two towns about eight miles apart
 The road appealed to the circuit court of Dane county and when the railroad commission was sustained, appeal was taken to the supreme court.

UP TO PRINCIPALS.
Beede Says Schools Cnn he Closed
 When Deemed Necessary.

Whether or not he children in the public schools will have shorter session during the not weather is now, according to vote of the school committee of the board of education a matter that Is directly up to the principals By a vote by the school board some days ago the practice of closing the schools during the after noon or at any time is entirely up to the principals and with tho many dif- ferent conditions prevailing in the school buildings much has got to be considered.
 For instance 1t is stated that while this school is very warm and is not properly ventilated to allow classes to continue, other schools in the same district furnish all the requirements towards sanitary conditions
 Superintendent Beede in an inter- view last night stated that so far as he was concerned he had advocated shorter sessions of the schools some time ago. Me. Beede said
 owing to considerable discussion of the matter, the committee on schools has conferred with me with reference to the sessions of the schools for the rest of the school year. The committee at present secs no reason for making any change in the regular hours of tl,D school sessions. The weather this week has been good school weather and there are doubtless many parents who prefer that their children should be in school both morning and after- noon. It has, however, been the prac- tlce for many years for supervising principals to close any rooms or any schools in their districts whenever the heat becomes excessive"
