WILLIAMS OFFENDED BY
 ACT OF SPEAKER CANNON

Washington, April 1S.-(Special.)- = John Sharp Williams tonight rebuffed and seriously affronted Speaker Cannon and members of the House who wit messed the incident are wondering if the two statesmen have come to the parting of the ways.
 The trouble occurred a. the close of the proceedings of the day in the House. MT. Williams demanded a division after the speaker had put a motion to take recess until Monday morning. It was after 6 o'clock. and the speakers dinner was f.t,g cold.
 Uncle Joe did mi el ike sslhni ting to Mr Williams tactics whie,i meant delay. Looking1 oomplacentlH over the head of the shouting and gestieulating minority leader the speaker brought down his gavel and announced:
 "The ayes have it. The House will take a recess until 11:9o o'clock Mon day morning."
 Dropping his gavel, the speaker left his desk and walked down the aisle towards MT. Williams. There was a broad smile on his face and he fairly beamed on the man who has declared

CHURCH AHa STATE WILL SOON
 BE SEPARATED IN ITALY

Milwaukee, Wis, April 1S.-The disestab- lishment of the Catholic church in Italy within a few years is predicted by Most Rev. Sebastian F. Messmer, archbishop of Milwaukee, in an interview with an Evening Wisconsin reporter today, Every thing now said the archbishop points to that event. The government is dis tinctly unfriendly to the church and the church having no voice in national mat ters is powerless to avert condition in Italy that will be but a repetition of the condition now obtaining in France
 Archbishop Messmer's statement on this subject was called forth in commenting upon an interview given to a Wisconsin representative by Rev. F. H. Wright for six years missionary for the Methodist Episcopal church in Italy, in which he predicted disestablshed church in Italy within ten years, saying that there was a strong anti-clerical feeling in that coun- try; that the people were tirng of the dominion of the church and were drifting from the church into inhdelity and an archism, making field ripe for Meth odist missionary endeaVors. He said that S5 per cent of the people of southern Eu- rope could neither read nor write; that the church in Italy in it's native environ ment was the pattern of what the church would be in the United States were it not for the progressiveness of the Amer ican people

that he entertained for the speaker feelings warm as the affection of q son for father
 But MT. Williams was angry through and through. He watched the ap- proach of the speaker in silence and. when Uncle Joe extended his hand to MT. Williams, the latter looking the speaker in the face. ignored the prof fered hand and turning aoruptely on his heels he marched off to his com mittee room.
 The republicans who had been cheer ing the speakers ruling suddenly gre " silent and watched eagerly to see what was happening. Inc speaker stood for a moment as If dmmhfounded by the ae- tion of MT. Williams Then noticing the growing excitement he walked quietly through the hah and across the corridor to his private office.
 Wien seen later about the matter MT. Williams explained that the speak CT had exceeded his constitutional au- thority by declaring tn House in re- cess while he was on his feet demand ing a division and tn at he resented such treatment from the speaker ami would insist on his right as mem Der of the House both for himself and for his colleagues.
 Speaker Cannon would make no cont ment on the occurrence.

Nebraskan Answers Queries on
 Political Subjects
INDEPENDENT IN ACTION
MT. Bryan Declares He Has Made No Promises to New York Democrats With Reference to Possible
 Nomination at Denver. lS

Glens Falls N. Y., April 1S.-(Spe- cial. )-William J. Bryan, on his way to this place, today consented to talk to a representative of the Hearst News Service on the train. He prefaced his interview by saying that he was not bent upon political business and did not intend to talk politics. He was asked whether he had any engage ment to meet William J. Connors, chairman of the democratic state com mittee or Charles F. Murphy, and he said he had not and did not expect to meet them now or in the future.
 Borough President Bird s. Coler of Brooklyn boarded MT. Bryan's train at Saratoga. He was accompanied by William A. Doyle of Brooklyn, one of the anti-McCarren district leaders.
 Prior to MT. Connors appearance MT. Bryan was asked:
 Has either MT. Connors or MT. Mur- phy made any demands upon you for the placing of Lewis S. Nixon in a cab inet position if you are nominated by the Denver convention? or has there been any attempt made at such a de- mand?"
 To this MT. Bryan dictated the fol- lowing reply:
 "No, neither MT. Murphy nor MT. Connors, nor anyone speaking for eith- CT of them or for any one else has made me such proposition, or any other proposition on that or any other subject."-.s
 "Do you care to say" he was asked, what reply you would make if it was proposed to you that you should put MT. Nixon in cabinet place in the event of your election, and that your consent to Lieutenant Governor Chan Ter being put on the ticket with you for Vice President"
 MT. Bryan again dictated the reply:
 q have never made any promises to anybody about offices in former cam paigns, and l shall not make any promises to anybody in regard to the patronage or places in the present cam paign. No one has ever asked me in the past to promise a position, and I do not expect anybody to ask me to make such a promise now or in the future.'
 Then MT. Bryan asked the following statement to be taken down as he dfc- tated it:
 q answer the question simply be- cause a refusal to answer it might be misconstrued, but by answering it I do not assume that it is a pertinent question or a proper one, or that thero ever was any reason for believing that anybody intended to approach me on the subject of patronage or place"
 MT. Bryan leaves here tomorrow morning for Utica, where he is to speak before the Y. M. c. A. on an Easter subject. On Monday he goes to New York city.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS HAS
 BEEN POSTPONED FOR A WEEK

Washington April 1S.-The caucus of re- had been tentatively called for next Tues day evening, has been postponed. The pcstponement Is due to the delay in re- porting the sundry civil appropriation bill. It is considered desirable that this bill shall have immediate attention when re- ported to the House, and that no other measure, such as a financial or currency bill. should be brought in, even by re- publican caucus in advance of this im- portant supply measure But said Rep resentative Whip Watson, we shall have A caucus and we shall have bill It has been reported that there was some doubt on these two points, but there is none. The caucus is sure thing. but 1t will probably not come for a week after the cay at first determined upon.'

North Texas Is Severely Damaged
 By Great Storm
RAILROADS DOWN AND OUT
Traffic Cannot Be Resumed on Some of the Roads for Ten Days-Farm- CTS Suffer Immense Loss
 To Their Crops.

Fort Worth, Tex, April 1s-Through North Texas the heaviest rains in many years are reported, causing tremendous loss to farmers and stockmen, flooding lowlands and rendering country roads impossible, hundreds of bridges having been washed away.
 At Fort Worth the Trinity river, which rose to It's highest record, is receding to- night, but street car traffic between Fort Worth and North Fort Worth will prob- ably not be restored before noon tomor- row. By employing every available man In the city and dispatching them in spe- cial trains to the seat of trouble, Fort Worth railroads today actively begun to repair the $25,O0O damage inflicted by Fri day nights rainstorms While no definite figures can be ascertained from any indi- vidual line, the cumulative amount of damage will total a quarter of a million dollars. This will include loss consequent upon delays of live stock in transit, loss of revenue for the time traffic Is suspend ed and actual damage to property.
 Traffic into and out of the city was par- alyzed almost all day. The decision of the
 
 ernoon to permit no more trains other than their own to use the tracks between ths city and Dallas added to the con- fusion, for the Santa Fe, Rock Island and Missouri, Kansas and Texas were de pending upon this line to detour their trains The Texas and Pacific gave as lhelr reason for the action the condition or the big dump in the vicinity of Dallas. and the fear that such continual travel over it by so many extra trains might weaken it.sn
 The Texas and Pacific and Cotton Belt are apparently the heaviest sufferers from the storm. The Cotton Belt IS crippled in it's Fort Worth yards and the Texas and Pacific sustained it's heav- lest blow on the Rio Grande division on which dozen distinct washouts oc- cured
 That the storm was the worst exper- eneed in north and west Texas in half | century is indicated by reports to the Record tonight From Grayson county on the east to the far northwest and southwest to Tom Green county, about cne-third of the entire area of the state the country is literary covered with wal ter all modes of travel are demoralzed and business is practically suspended. In every direction railroad bridges are down, hundreds of yards of track have been washed away entirely and other hundreds of yards so badly undermined that re- building will be necessary. If the weather should clear immediately railroad traf- fife cannot be restored to normal condi- tions in less than ten days.
 The storm eliminated between midnight and o'clock today when the clouds opened, letting down a perfect deluge of water.
