Philadelphia, May 19.-Hon. W. ].
Bryan. who delivered an address be-
fore Pennsylvania peace conference,
In session at this city, when asked
his views concerning the outcome of
the primaries held in Alabama. where
he secured a victory for control of
the national delegates to the Denver
convention, said:
Alabama was claimed by the oppo-
sition, and while the vote is not a
surprise to me, it attracts attention
because the returns answer msrep-
reservations which had been sent out.
The primary system enables voters to
express themselves. In this respect
our Democrats in the west have an
advantage over Democrats in some
eastern states, where the method of
selecting. delegates does not give the
rank and file of the party such sup
port and control"

ATTORNEYS WITNESSES
IN THE KRAGEN CASE
Tell of the Expenses Connected
With Handling of Stock
for Creditors

Attorney Rothchiid and Charles R.
Havens were called at yesterdays ses-
sion OF the Kragens bankruptcy pro-
ceedings. Attorney Rothchild was one
OF the creditors committee which first
took charge of the Kragens store and
made arrangements for the sale of the
assets. he testified that the reason
the committee wished TO have the stock
sold was that il felt II would be better
for the creditors. Rothchild stated
that the rent and other expenses OF
keeping the stock in the store building
IN Market street would have amounted
TO about $4,000 a month. He further
stated that had bankruptcy proceedings
been brought against Kragens the stock
would have been tied up for months
and the expenses of maintaining the
store would have come out of the re-
ceipts Of the kragens stock and the
creditors would have had TO pay the
expenses.
Havens was only on the stand a short
time, and he told the court how IL was
that Kragens made an assignment to
him. He stated that Attorney Kirk
asked that he take charge of the stock
owing to the fact that Kragens had
agreed 10 turn over his assets TO the
board Of trade for the benefit of his
creditors. Hayens said that he had fire.
ouently acted IN this capacity for the
board OF trade.
