The anthem. "Tis Night. a Sabbath

denoe Of Crime.

New York April Elm a present
ment filed with Justice Bowling In the
criminal branch OF the Supreme court
the special grand jury which has been
investigating the affairs of the Metro
politan Street Railway company. the
Metropolitan Security company and
subsidiary companies, exonerated the
officials OF the companies of any wrong
doing. The jurymen state that after
a prolonged and careful investigation
they were not able to obtain any evi-
dence showing the commission OF a
crime upon which the jury could act.
In the evidence taken 1t was
brought out that In April, 1903, one
of the expenses of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company was $36,7OO
which was given for political pur-
poses. OF this amount $4,000 was
given to Tammany Hail.. The money
II was shown, was placed In an en-
velope and taken to Tammany Hall.
The remaiiN1g $4,000 was given TO
Lemuel +. Quigg, who in turn hand
ed the money over to former Gov
ernor Benjamin B. Odell. Jr.. then
chairman Of the Republican state COM
mittee.
In their reference to this contribu
ton the grand jury say that they be-
lieye no law was violated at that time
but state that they did not approve OF
the contribution and that 1t was de-
serving of severe condemnation.
After stating that the members OF
the grand jury were of the opinion
that there was no widespread dishon
esty in the administration of financial
institutions in this country the pre-
sentiment continues. Such crime o
this character as 1t has learned Of
seems to have been confined to 9

have been dominated by such group

BRYAN EXPLAINS
. HOW He MAKES
HIS MONEY
Receives Annual Income Larger
Than Presidents
MAINLY FROM LEcTURIAG
Refused Salary Of $4,000 a Year
From Corporation 40 II Would
Take Him Out OF Public Lie.

New York, April 2l-William J..
Bryan said yesterday at the Hoffman
House that he was offered $4,000 q
year to be counsel for corporation,
but declined 1t because It would have
taken him out of public life.
In answer to the charge made by
the Hearst men that Bryan Is out OF
sympathy with the working masses
because he receives q larger income
than the President OF the United
States from his lecturing, writing and
newspaper, Mr.. Bryan said that his
income was legitimately earned, was
not as large as reported, and that the
test as to whether 1t affected his views
was to compare his utterances twelve
years ago with his views today He
continued
MY income Is derived mainly from
my lecturing with some addi
tons from articles written for other
publications and something for my
own paper. but the amount has been
very much exaggerated make
more speeches for nothing than fol
pay. and devote more time TO public
work than private gain. The income
that ! have received has come from
the people who attend my lectures and
who read what write. and therefore
my obligation Is to the whole people
rather than to any special class. Tht
best test OF the effect Of my income !.
TO be found In the things that i advo
lcate. My views have not changed OIL
public questions. ! am contendinl
for the same things now that | did a
the outset, and think no one will
deny that | could make more by sid
ing with the corporate interests thai
] have made out Of lecturing."
