ATTACK UPON w. J. BRYAN-OwNS
RAILWAYS AND INNUMER ABLE
FARMS
Washington, d. c., September a.
"Where did you get it, Mr.. Cannon ?'
has become a common expression in
Washington since Mr.. Bryan replied
to the speech delivered by Mr.. Cannon
at the Illinois Republican convention,
in which he charged that the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency was
worth million dollar.
1t is probable that the laconic and
very pertinent inquiry will become
somewhat of a slogan of the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Bryan made frank state
ment itemizing his Accommodations and
giving their source. He thought his
total property was worth between
$125, 900 and S150,000 The tax assessor
estimated Mr.. Bryan's wealth at some
thing less than $4,000.
Speaker Cannon has long been re-
garded in Washington as wealthy
man. Many people say that he is in
the millionaire class, although he has
been in public office almost without
intermission since Mr.. Bryan was one
year old.
Mr.. Cannon is understood to be one
of the principal owners of the street car
system of Danville, ILL.,, his home town.
The system is very fine one, and one
of its most valuable constituent lines
is the one which runs from the town
out to the national soldiers home locat-
ed at Danville through the efforts of
Mr.. Cannon.
1t is not generally known, but
Speaker Cannon is one of the largest
landhOlders in Illinois. In addition to
owning much real estate in his own
State, Mr.. Cannon owns large num-
Der of fine farms in Indiana, and is said
to own a number in Missouri and
Kansas. He is also understood to own
a large amount of fine cotton lands in
Mississippi.

SOURCE OF INCOME.


"Where did you get it, Mr.. Cannon"
is naturally on the lips of those who
| itemiZe the Speakers source of income
The next move is Mr.. Cannon's. Mr.
Bryan has moved. 1t is hardly likely
that the Speaker can afford to allow to
go unanswered the challenge of Mr.
Bryan to give an inventory of his wealth
and the sources from which it was de-
rived.
1t is seriously thought by some Re
publicans with whom the writer has
talked that Mr.. Bryan's prompt, frank,
and bold reply to Speaker Cannon may
result in the latter's defeat for re-elec-
ton to Congress. 1t would not be at
all surprising if, though Mr.. Cannon
| be reelected to his seat in Congress, he
should be defeated for reelection to the
speakership. 'Joe Cannonism" has
| become one of the foremost issues of
the campaign, especially in the Middle
West. In the East opposition to Can
non as Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives is scarcely less strong. In
| Connecticut, for instance, Representa-
tive Lilley, who fell down so complete
ly on his charges that the submarine
boat builders had Improperly influence
ed the House Committee on Naval AT
| fairs in the matter of awarding con-
tracts, as to make himself the laughing
stock of Congress and the country, has
been nominated by the Republicans for
the office of Governor. Probably the
most distinguished lawyer in Connec-
ticut said in this city today that the
nomination of Lilley was directly due
to the experience of MIR. Lilley in Con-
gress last winter. The masses among
the Republicans, at least, feel that
Speaker Cannon and his machine had
overthrown Lilley and had not given
him fair show The nomination of
Lilley was directly attributed to this
belief.
"Where did you get it, Mr.. Croke r?''
This line appeared in the New York
| World one morning about ten years
ago, and appeared every day thereafter
for long time. 1t caused eventually
the retirement of Richard Croker from
New York politics and made him take
up his residence abroad.
Stranger things have happened that
that such question should eliminate
Joseph G.. Cannon from the speaker
ship of the House Of Representatives
if not from American public life.

PRESIDENT FOR NEW Law
flirting Special Message to Con-
gress on Employers Liability.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The President is pre-
pairing to send a special message TO Congress
urging the enactment of another employers la
bility law. replace that declared unconstftu-
tonal by the Supreme Court of the United
States. Whether the bill that will ultimately
meet the Presidents approval and be passed is
the measure already introduced by Senator
Knox or whether it will be to be presented
hereafter by some other Senator or member of
the House remains to be seen.
Senator La Toilette and Senator Knox have
thus far been most prominently identified with
the framing of employers liability bills. The
law rejected by the Supreme Court bore the
name of the Wisconsin Senator, although it was
originally a House bill.
Senator Knox has had several talks with the
President about the bill he hopes to pass. The
President. it is understood takes a middle
ground between these Senator'S He is more
radical than Senator Knox, but not much so
Senator La Toilette.
The exact day that the Presidents message
will be sent to Congress has not yet been de-
cided, but il will probably be about the end Of
the present week or early next week.

TO PUSH PORT CHESTER.
Counsel Says Legal Complications
Hamper Construction of Road.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]


Albany, Jan. 13.-'As soon legal compca-
tions are cleared the work of constructing and
operating the New York G. Port Chester Rail-
road will be actively pushed" said William c.
Trull, counsel for the road, before the upstate
Public Service Commission The commission
had asked why the road had not filed annual
report and not operating its line The
failure due, Mr. Trull said, to the fact that
the company had been advised, under the old
railroad law, that incorporating railroads were
not required to file a report.
Mr.. Trull submitted report and explained
various phases of the fight the franchise
with the Boston & Westchester, down to the
cent consolidation of the two companies and
their absorption by the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad interests. He said
the Port Chester had spent 100000, more
than the 10 per cent of its capitalization re-
quired by law, and legal compica-
tions were cleared away further construction
would be pushed. Allan Wardwe represented
the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
and allied interests in the consolidation.
