GREETED
BY THOUSANDS
C0MMONER MAKES ADDRESS
AT SEATTLE FAIR
Declares Alaska Should Dictate Her
Own Affairs-Advocate Better
Conservation of Natural
Resources
EBy Associated Press.l

SEATTLE, Oct. 12-William J. Bry-
ans visit to the worlds fair today was
made the occasion of popular demon
stration that rivaled in earnestness
the greeting to President Taft two
weeks ago.
Mr.. Bryan and his escort arrived at
the fair grounds in automobiles at
1915 o'clock and found their progress
opposed by a multitude SO great as
effectually to prevent Mr.. Bryan from
seeing the fair.
The automobile, after long delay
reached the government building and
Mr.. Bryan and his guides entered. At
once thousands of persons poured into
the building, not only preventing the
visitor from seeing the exhibits, but
threatening to destroy them. The visit
to other buildings was marked by sim
liar scenes and Mr.. Bryan will learn
what the fair really looks slike from
Mrs Bryan, who came here yesterday
registered at a hotel under her own
name and was permitted to see the
sights unmolested.
Mr.. Bryan, who occupied the princi-
pal suite at the Hotel Washington, was
entertained at luncheon in the New
York building. After luncheon he
spoke to an immense outdoor audi
ence in the natural amphitheater
that was only little smaller
than the one before which Mr.. Taft
made his Alaska and ship-subsidy
speech twelve days ago,
Speaks on "The Average Man"
The amphitheater seats $4,000 persons

not stop, but in an extemporaneous
speech, answered President Tafts ad-
dress on Alaska, delivered here two
weeks ago.
Mr.. Bryan took occasion to differ
with President Taft regarding home
rule for Alaska and also touched on
the conservation of natural resources,
but did not discuss the ship subsidy
question. He said in part:

opmentS in the case, including Mr..
Cranes references to his failure to keep
appointments made with him.
Cranes Statement
Mr.. Cranes statement is as follows:
THE statement issued by the depart
ment of state is slightly inaccurate in
saying that the secretary has informed
me that my resignation will be ac-
cepted. The letter l received from Mr.
Knox at room today says he has recon-
mended to the president that the presi-
dent accept my resignation. Before
this letter had been received by me
already had sent to the president
through his secretary, Mr.. Carpenter,
the following telegram:
" WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 12.-
President w. H. Taft: The state de-
partment objects to certain things 1
have done in the effort to carry out my
understanding of your wishes as eX-
pressed by you to me. L have carefully
considered the entire matter. In my
Judgment no mistake has been made
except as the department has made it
mistake. However, 1 did not and cannot
guarantee to make no mistakes, and
especially unless 1 have the cordial sup
port and cooperation of the govern
ment.
Leaves FdIS 10 AIT
The manner in which the depart
ment has proceeded and is proceeding
is inconsistent with my own self-re-
spect and my conception of the dig
nifty of the position and with the under
standing upon which 1 accepted. 1 APP

have received from you, and under all
the circumstances have decided to
await information as to your wishes
before taking action. You will under
stand, of course, that my resignation is
in your hands. (Signed)

~The statement of the department is
further inaccurate in saying that l

Gated in its own closing paragraph,

NATIONAL BANK
GOES TO WALL
OFFICIALS SAID TO HAVE
WRECKED INSTITUTION
Declares Questionable Paper and APP
parent Forgeries Were Discovered
When He Inspected Books
of Concern
TBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The comp
troller of the currency announced to-
day the First National bank of Min
eral Point, Wis, had closed. its doors
and a receiver had been appointed.
The bank has a capital of 100000
and deposits of $505,97S.
The discovery of alleged forgeries
and defalcatlons aggregating, accord
ing to unofficial advices, approximately
$2l0, 900, resulted in the closing of the
bank. Arrests are expected.
The first word of Irregularities in
the bank reached the treas%4y depart
ment October 5, when National Bank
Examiner Richard w. Goodhart tele-
graphed to the comptroller that he
had found some shortages and ques-
tfonable paper. The first indications
were that the loss would reach only
$50, 600, but the figures of the dis
crepancy began to grow.
S. Calvert Spensley, president or the
bank, expressed confidence in his abil-
ity to carry the bank through its
troubles. He declared he could raise
800 900 within six days, but evidently
he was unable to negotiate that
amount on the banks credit, and Ex-
aminer Goodhart reported by telegraph
today the bank had been closed.
