BRYAN REFUSES
TO Be DRAWN IN
Democratic Candidate Has Not
Discussed the Browns
vile Affair.
MEETS MANY DELEGATES
OLLIE JAMES AGAIN A VISITOR
AT FAIRVIEW.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb.. July 10
William ]. Bryan does not intend to be
drawn into the Brownsville case if he
can help it. In all his conversations
with visiting delegations and others he
has carefully refrained from talking on
that subject. and today he put the
brand of untruthfulness upon an al
legged statement by Bishop Walters OF
the Afro Methodist Episcopal church to
the effect that he had assured negro
delegation that he regarded President
Roosevelts action in that matter as I'M
lust At the same time he also denied
another alleged interview of the bishop
that he had discussed the appointment
of negroes to Office. These declarations
were called forth by a telegram from
the Baltimore Sun incuiring as to the
truth of the statements said TO have
emanated from Bishop Walters To
the newspaper men at Fairview, Mr..
Bryan said that he had not taken up
any issue not contained in the platform.
Conference With Leaders.
Mr.. Bryan spent a fairly busy day to-
day Delegates returning from the
Denver convention again made pilgrim
with their leader about the coming
campaign. Mr. Bryan impressed them
all with the necessity of organizing
political clubs and exerting every effort
10 poll the full Democratic vote in No
yember. He believes that clubs of that
character will contribute very largely
to Democratic success. The visitors all
left with pledges of hearty support and
promises TO get the Democratic voters
TO the polls They came from Illinois,
Alabama. Nevada and Texas.
Ollie James for Chairman.
The visit of Representative Ollie
James of Kentucky and John E. Lamb
of Indiana late in the afternoon gave
rise to further gossip regarding the
chairmanship of the national commit
tee. Nothing was given out bearing on
the business which brought them here,
but it is known that Mr.. James came
at the special invitation of Mr.. Bryan,
and that the question of the ma sional
Craftsmanship was discussed. A prom
inent western Democrat who acoompa-
MED Mr.. James from Denver to Lincoln
is authority for the statement that Mr..
Bryan strongly favors Mr.. James for
national chairman. He added that the
appointment had, In fact. been rendered
to Mr.. James. who in all probability
will accept. although he prefers to take
the stump in Mr.. Bryan's behalf.
Republican Consideration.
Five men labored increasingly today
in the hot sun blowing the grass in the
roadway leading to the Bryan home
and putting the thoroughfare in shape.
Yhe reason for the activity was In order
that the road might look presentable
upon the occasion of the visit OF the
notification committee Aug u. The
work was ordered done by the board Of
county commissioners, all of whom are
Republicans. and their action is much
appreciated at the Bryan home.

Ruling on Eating Houses.

In another ruling the commission holds
that the common carriers may provide at
points along their lines eating houses for
passengers and employees of such carriers
and that property for use OF the eating
houses may be properly regarded as nee
essary and intended for use of the car
riers in the conduct of their business. 1t
is provided that these ea ting houses. how
ever. must not serve the general public
or any portion thereof with food prepared
from commodities which have been car
ried with less than the full published
rates and that no utensils. fuel or servants
employed at all in serving other than pas
sengers and employees OF the carrier as
such should be carried at less than tariff
rates.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-07-17

A decision of peculiar interest Is that
in the case OF a shipment which was ten
dered destined to a certain point. the di-
rect route to which was over the line or
two carriers. a distance of 3s5 miles. the
rate by the route being % cents
1t was possible to send the shipment
around over the lines of three carriers a
distance OF Gil miles. and secure com
bination rate of only 10 cents Applica-
ton was made for a refund on account
Of the difference between the rates. out
the commission held that the claim for
a refund is to be denied on the ground
that much longer and indirect route was
not a reasonable route.

As to Belt Lines.

1t Is held in another decision that
belt line owned by municipality which
participates in interstate movements is
subject to the jurisdiction OF the act to
regulate commerce and Of the commits
sion.
In still another decision the commission
holds that a misrouting carrier may be
allowed to refund on account OF its
error in misrouting a shipment and
that the carrier which participated In the
transportation without lawful tariff APP
pIicable thereto should be dealt with
through the department of prosecutions
In this case a shipment was misrouted
and passed over a route via part or
which no rate was filed with the COM
mission and was thus subjected TO a
higher charge than the through rate via
the proper route.

chivalry and eatness.

Have YOU never noticed that great
personal bulk and chivalry go almost
always together? Well. they do. and I
am reminded OF circumstance that
happened long years ago. There was
In congress from the state Of Alabama
a gentleman named Dixon Lewis. He
was notorious for his stoutness as we'll
as for his courtliness and abilities. This
gentleman was Virginian by birth,
but removed early to Alabama, which
state he represented during several
terms Of congress and was in the SEN
ate at the time OF his death In 1S4S
Biographers relate Of him that one
time after the adjournment Of con-
gress he was on his way home in a
steamer that was wrecked and while
he had an opportunity to do SO refused
to take seat in small boat because
his great weight would jeopardizc the
