BRYAN WINS IN ALABAMA.
JOHNSON 10 BEATEN IN DEMO.
CRATIC STATE PRIMARIES.
Race is Close One, However, the
Mlnnesotan Showing Unexpected
Strength In Polling.

Montgomery, Ala, May 20.-The re-
turns from the state Democratic prf
mary continued to come in slowly
Tuesday. Montgomery has received
the count in but II of her % pre-
cincts, and other cities are similarly
slow. Indications we're that William
]. Bryan carried the state, though
Gov. johnson gave him close race.
The Johnson forces piled up a large
| vote in southern Alabama, and they
carried perhaps half dozen counties
in the state, according to present indi-
cations, but not enough to indorse the
Minnesota governor. The returns from
country districts indicated Bryan
victory.
Birmingham, Ala, May 20.-While
the returns from the Democratic pri-
maries throughout Alabama are slow
In coming in, enough is known to fig
ure on majority for William ]. Bryan
as the state Democratic choice for the
presidential nomination. In South
Alabama the Johnson forces piled UP
good votes. There will not be half q
dozen counties, however, II that many,
to give majorities for the Minnesota
governor for the presidency, though q
good vote will be shown in dozens of
counties Jefferson, the mining and
manufacturing county of the state. in
which Birmingham is located, will re-
turn Bryan majority. In few
towns In Jefferson county Johnson ma
| torities are shown.
John w. Tomlinson of the state
Bryan club states that the majority
will go above two to one for the Ne
braskan.
Bad weather will prevent full re-
turns being received for another a.
hours.

SALOONS WIN IN CHICAGO.
Court Rules Against enforcement o.
the Sunday Closing Law.

Chicago, May 19.-The appellate
court Monday ruled that Mayor Busse
cannot be compelled to enforce the
Sunday saloon closing law. The judg
ment of Judge Chytraus, denying to
Rev. William Bartlett and others o
writ of mandamus to compel the en-
forcement of the statute was affirmed.
The decision was delivered by Justices
Holdom, Adams and Brown, Justice
Jesse Holdom presiding. The ruling
was contained in long decision con-
sisting of nearly score of typewritten
pages, but the proceedings in court
were brief and confined to the mere
statement that in the case of the peo-
pie Of Illinois ex. rel. William A. Bart
lett ct al. versus Fred A. Busse ct al.

firmed,

Cleveland, o., May 19.-The attempt
by the members of the state board of
arbitration Monday to bring about
peace between the Municipal Traction
Company and its striking employees re-
suited in failure.
President Dupont conferred with
Members Bishop and Owens of the
board in regard to strike settlement,
and while he agreed to arbitrate some
points he would not concede the one
thing for which the men stand de-
terminedly.
In no case will arbitrate the rein

shall stick for the seniority of runs,

President Dupont was asked wheth-
er he would arbitrate all other points.
He replied that he would arbitrate no
points until the lawlessness had
ceased.
The men had no right to strike
in the face Of arbitration and will
not confer with them until they purge
themselves Of the lawless element"

No CURRENCY law
is congress- CRY
MEMBERs EXPECT THAT PLANs
WILL 40 OVER UNTIL THE
NEXT SESSION.
HOPE OF BLENDING
BILLS IS GIVEN UP
Inability to Work Out a Satisfactory
Measure Coupling Good Points In
Both Aldrloh and vresland Propo-
sltIons Causes solons to Cult.

Washington, May 20.-That there
will be no currency legislation at the
present session Of congress Ia now
believed by many members to be al
most a certainty. The conferees on
the senate and house bills have held
several sessions in an effort to work
out something under the head Of the
SAldrich-Vreeland BILL" but they are
said to have almost abandoned hope.
As result there 10 a decided senti-
ment among the conferees and leaders
pf both branches Of congress that the
whole subject should 60 over until
next session. In that event the work
would be taken up next session by the
same conferees, as the bills introduced
ct the present session do not die until
the end Of congress.
Body swamped with Protests.
The senate committee on finance
has been swamped with protests from
bankers and commercial interests
against the vreeland bill. The opposi-
ton has been based chiefly upon the
charge that it proposes an asset cur
rency through clearing house associa-
tons being permitted to issue notes.
For the benefit OF the conferees the
views contained in the letters to the
committee have been collated and
dangers" Of the house bill pointed out
as follows:
First. That the market value OF
government bonds would be impaired
by reason of banks selling bonds in
reducing their circulation with view
70 placing themselves in position to
have the largest privilege of issuing
the proposed notes.
See Disaster for Many Banks.
Second. That many banks may be
driven out of business. In organizing
associations for the issue of the pro-
posed notes, the stronger banks may
be unwilling to guarantee the payment
of the notes of the weaker institu-
tons, and consequently deny admit
lance to membership. Unfortunate
consequences could hardly fail to re-
suit in thus publicly branding a bank
Third. That panic would imme.
diately be precipitated If at any criti-
cal period the association should take
steps to issue the new notes. Knowl-
edge of such steps could hardly be
kept from the public"
Senators Aldrich, Hale and Allison
have been studying the Vreeland bill
for the past two days, and they are
OF the opinion that it would be bad
legislation to enact it. At the same
time they realize that the house Is
opposed to many of the important pro-
visions of the Aldrich bill, and that
the prospects Of overcoming the oppo-
aition in the short time remaining Of
the present session are not good.
