carried out the common law The
provision granting trial by jury in
contempt cases, "ln discretion of the
judge" The plan was draft
ed on the assumption that the Hill
bill was passed only after it been
amended to make trial by jury
mandatory at the demand Of the de-
fendant. While Bryan was reason
ably sure OF his ground, the allega-

the resolutions committee had been

he admitted he intended to make in

An Associated Press correspondent
this afternoon relieved his suspense
by explaining that advices from
Washington that the Hill bill as final

vided for summary punishment in
the direct cases OF contempt but made
it mandatory for the court to grant a
trial by jury in all cases where such
contempt was committed outside OF
the presence and where a trial was
demanded by the defendant. This
was an Bryan remembered it and it
cleared up what promised to become
an awkward situation for the Demo

Keen Rivalry Between Workers
on Two New Batileships
THE FLORIDA AND THE UTAH
Both Ships VIII Probably be Ready

Partially Completed.

NEW YORK, July 20.-The ma
val constructors at the New York
Navy Yard who are to have the SUI
pervision Of the building Of the TO-
600 ton battleship Florida, authorized
y the last congress, are not going
to lose any time in getting the ship
ready for commission. The prelim-
mary work is now well under way,
and within few weeks the navy de-
partnent will ask for bids for mater
ial needed in building the battleship.
There promises to be keen rivalry
between the private concern that
will build the Utah, the Florida's sis
ter ship and the workers who will
build the Florida. 1t is expected BY
naval officers that both ships will be
ready for the feet within two and
half years. At the close of 1910 the
United States will own her first
squadron Of all big gun ships to con
sist Of the two vessels already named
and the Delaware and North Dakota,
both of which are over thirty per
cent completed. Naval constructor
William J. Baxter, the man who built
the Connecticut, will again be at the
head of the government force.

renee Kirkman the six year old
daughter Of Ralph Kirkman OF
Brooklyn, For hours before the
child was removed from her home to
a hospital her cries could be heard all
over the neighborhood where she
lived,
Six weeks ago the child was bitten
in the hand by mongrel dog. She
was playing in the street at the time;
tossing ball into the air, AS she
stopped to pick up the ball the dog
ran at her and bit her. The girls mo-
ther took her to a nearby drug store
and had the woun cauterized, The
wound seemed to heal and nothing
more was thought Of the incident un-
til about a week ago when the girl
began to get spells of dizziness.

bite had nothing to do with the
childs illness, Then the child had
one convlsion after another. The
doctor advised her removal to a hos
