w. J. BRYAN BOLTS PARTY
Will Not Support Democratic Nomi-
nee for Governor

In a statement in which he de- !
feels impelled to wage against the
liquor interests OF the State and na-
tion overshadows q personal and
political friendship of 20 years, Will
liam J. Bryan few days ago an
nounce6 he had bOlted the head of
the Democratic State ticket in Ne
braska and would not support James
G. Dahlman for Governor.
Mr.. Bryan says he regrets that he
is compelled to take the stand he
does his first departure from polit-
ical regularity-but says he feels it
his duty to do SO because Of the pc
sition taken by the Democratic noun
inee on TIE liquor question. The
statement does not indicate that Mr..
Bryan will support the candidate OF
any other party, but announces that
he is a pronounced advocate Of coun-
ty option and the early saloon-clos-
ing law, both of which, he insists
are menaced by Mr.. Dahlman $ can
didacy. The statement is as follows:
In speaking for the State ticket
| shall not be able to present any
arguments in favor of the election of
Mr.. Dahlman. His position on the
liquor question makes that impossi-
BILE. l regret this exceedingly, for
he has been political and personal
friend for 30 years, and it would
give me pleasure TO speak for him if
l could indorse his policy for which
he stands, but he has chosen to
make the liquor question the para
mount issue and makes his appeal
on that issue.
Possibly it is just as well 10 have
the issue clearly presented, so that
it may be settled this year instead
OF two years hence. Troublesome
as the question is now, it would be
even more embarrassing if presented
in 1919, when Presidential election
is on hand. If Mr.. Dahlman is elect
ed it will be 4 declaration by the
voters of the State against county
option and against the 8 clock clos
ing law. If be is defeated it will be
a declaration in favor of county OPP
ton and in favor of the 8 O'Clock
closing law.
In other words. the voters now
have an opportunity to decide
whether the State shall go backward
or forward on the liquor question.
} To present arguments in favor OF
, going backward would not only con
; tradict what have already said or
the subject, but would embarrass MT
, in the fight that | expect to make
hereafter to save our party from the
, odium of being the representative o
the liquor interests"

STON-AGE PLANT VALUED
AT S29,5OO BY THE CITY.
John Coppersmith, of Tax Board,
Testifies at Hearing.

NEW YORK, Aug. ,19.--John Copper
smith, of the office OF the Newark Tax
Board, testified before the grand jury
here yesterday that the assessed valua-
tion of the Ston-Age Plaster Com
pany's plant in that city was only
$29.500. His testimony was given to
disprove the contention of John A.
Qualey and Harvey w. Corbett, pro-
poters of the concern, that $4,000, the
price paid for the plant by Clarence p.
Browning at the sheriff's sale on Tues
day, was inadequate.
Mr.. Coppersmith informed the grand
jury that according to the Newark tax
books the land on which the Ston-
Age plant stands has a valuation of
$14, 500 and that the buildings are as
sessed at $4,000.
Qualey and Corbett are now making
strenuous efforts to prevent creditors
of the concern from getting possession
of the plant. The Ston-Age Company is
still in possession, and it's directors
say that machinery is being installed
so that a finished product may be pro-
duced in the near future
Counsel for Qualey and Corbett are
preparing papers to prevent the plant
falling into Browning's possession,
These they say they will file. within a
few days.
Qualey, it is said, is preparing to
make use of certain alleged state
ments of Browning, declaring that the
Ston-Age plant was worth a great deal
more than the claims against it, in
order to prove to the courts that the
sale price was inadequate. The claims
against the company aggregated ap-
proximately ss5 900.

for the accident. He said the machine

returning from the cupola that he met
his death.
The elevator which killed Miller can
be stopped at any point. and although
it carries no operator is constantly
watched by men on both floors. A cry
was raised when Miller was seen to
fall under the understanding plat

removed to Brueckner's undertaking

practically cured, one of his attending
physicians said this morning
The physician further stated that
there are no present indications neces-
stating an operation, and that the bull
let gave the mayor no inconvenience
and would not if it remained there the
rest of his life. The bullet probably
would become encysted. the physicians
said, and the worst that could be looked
for would be a slight suppuration, and
that could be as easily treated as case
of quinsy sore throat.
The wound in the mayors neck is
nearly healed. and the scar that will
be left will be hardly noticeable.
