BRYAN FIGURES
 IN PARTY POLICY

Washington, January 1s.-Democratic senators and representatives who attend ed the Jackson day banquet in Baltimore last night were discussing with unusual interest today the significance of a warn hing note which came from former Rep resentative Theodore Bell of California, as the representative of William Jennings Bryan. MT. Bell dio not attempt to start Bryan boom; in fact, he eliminated the Nebraskan from any further consdera- ton as the democratic nominee, either in 1912 or any succeeding presidential year.
 Fate undoubtedly has decreed." said he. that MT. Bryan shall not be nomi- mated a fourth time, and that he shall never be elected President of the United States" But Mir Bell warned his hear CTS that if they were seeking a harmony which might bring about future demo- cratic success they must not continue a policy which omitted MT. Bryan from con sideration as a leader in the party coun- eils. MT. Bell declared that the affections of millions still were centered on Bryan and that his views must be given the most serious consideration. Previous to his references to MT. Brayn MT. Bell had taken occasion to pay a high tribute to Champ Clark as a man in whom the middle and far west had implicit conf dence. He did not go so far as to name MT. Clark for the presidency. but by in- ference his meaning was clear and there are many political watchers in Wash ington who regard the incident of last night as the lining up of the Bryan ele- ment in the party behind MT. Clark as against Governor Harmon, Woodrow Will son or any of the others who have been mentioned for the democratic leadership.
 Another factor to which attention has been called is that Champ Clark Is, like Governor Wilson of New Jersey, by birth a southerner. He was born in Ander- son county, Kentucky. Like Wilson, he was also a college president before en- tering politics.

LESSONS LEARNED
 FROM TRAGEDY

London, January 1s.-The inquest into the death of the two desperadoes who perished in their Sidney street home while resisting the police and military was con cluded today. The verdict of the jury was that the man known as Josef. was shot to death, the victim of justifable homicide. and that his companion, known as "Fretz,' died of suffocation.
 The jury added a rider declaring the fact that such an extraordinary occur renee was possible should lead to the framing of more stringent measures for dealing with criminal aliens arriving in this country ts
 Home Secretary Churchill appeared in the witness box with the object of re- futing some of the stories of his assump- ton of the office of commander in chief of the forces engaged in the battle He declared the troops were on the spot be- fore he had heard that a fight was in progress, He denied that he over-rode or directed the police, who, he said. had an absolutely free hand He thought the ac- ton of the police in restraining the fire men from attacking the flames after the house had been fired was humane and perfectly justifiable under the circum- stances.

DEADLOCK IN NEW
 YORK UNBROKEN

A,hanv N Y, January 1S.-The United States senatorship puzzle is as intricate tonieht as ever. The legislature today tried to choose the democrat who wiii succeed Senator Chauncey M. DepeW put ro candidate received the majority or votes necessary to election Efforts to ,ncvease the following of William F fsfeehan. the leading candidate, or tS unite the opposition on any one or the candidates thus far have proved frult- less.
 MT. Sheehan with 90 votes to his credit o, the first joint baifot and within nine votes of election may be no nearer washington than Martin ", Littleton or D. Cady Herrick, who reeeiVed put e"o votes. In fact, there is growing nm pression that if Sheehan cannot Win the successful candidate is is likely as not to become one whose name has not yet been proposed.
 The one ballot taken today gave Mr. sheehan 90 votes, Edward M. Shepard 13. Alton B. Parker [, James w. Gerard B. Martin w. Littleton and D. Cady Her rick 2.
 A republicans voted solidly for their eau GUS choice, Senator Depew. Compared with the total vote of yesterday when the senate assembly vote separately the changes were insignificant. Mr. Sheehan lost one vote, MT. Shepard one, and Judge Parker and Justice Gerard each gained one.
 That the Insurgents" regarded the re- suit as victory was apparent from then eagerness to continue balloting. But the party leaders had agreed to postpone fur ther voting until tomorrow and although the republicans stood ready to help the anti-Sheehan men force second baho' on the spot further action was delayed The second joint ballot will be cast al noon tomorrow.
 Tn snite of his statement that he would not be candidate, Judge Parker's name still figures prominently in every dis cusson of a possible compromise. He made flying trip here from New YorI today and conferred with Governor Dix Governor Dix said later that he and Judge Parker had not discussed either the question of a compromise candidate or Parker's own candidacy
 Parker himself declined to tell wha' occurred at the conference. When he was asked if he would be a candidate fin the event of MT Sheehans withdrawa Judge Parker said
 q cannot dream of such contin. gency."
 Asked if he would accept of senator If it came to him, he answered:
 After I ran for president and retired from public life to practice law I said that I never would be candidate for office again. I have not changed my attitude since"

WASTE OF MONEY ID
 CONTINUE STRIKE So Says President Lewis of United Mine Workers ANNUAL ADDRESS MADE President Lewis Reviews Work of the Organization and Shows the Cost
 of Strikes for the Past
 Ten Years
ANNUAL ADDRESS MADE

Columbus, Ohio, January 1S.-The United Mine Workers of America today listened 10 the annual address of President T. L.. Lewis, who commenced his address soon after the convention was called to order at Memorial hall. Much interest was shown in his declara- ton regarding the strike in the Irwin field in Pennsylvania, and somewhat of 9 commotion was occasioned by his an- nouncement that it is a waste of money to continue the strike under present con- ditions. This declaration was taken as a slap al President Fehan of the Pttsburg district President Lewis, in presenting his re- port to the 22d annual convention today, recalled the fact that the United Mine at Columbus.
 Nearly 350,000 men are now employed under joint agreements said MT. Lewis. The controversy with Francis Fehan of
 the Pittsburg district was reviewed and
 President Lewis declared that the strike
 in the Irwin district of Pennsylvania has
 cost the organization sS29,9OO. This strike,
 he says, was ordered without even con
 sulting fle national officers.
 Tt may be matter of information to
 you," said Mir. Lewis, "and for. the mine workers of the country to learn that 1 assisted in bringing representative of one of the large companies in the Irwin cistrict and President Fehan together to negotiate a settlement. In my judgment, if he had acted promptly, 1000 of the IT, win district miners would have returned to work under union wages and conditions last June.
 Tt IS my duty to tell you frankly that 1t is a waste of money to continue the Irwin district strike under the present circumstances. In my opinion, the strike in the Irwin district will be completely lost if continued under the present meth cd of conducting that strike. Those men have been misled and deceived long enoush,s and the international organiza- ton has contributed to their support with out authority to settle the strike.
 "The amount paid out annually in sup port of strikes for the past ten years is given a follows.

Rallies exploits as told in the play of that name and the finished portrayal of Mir Bellew as the cracksman has had It's need of praise long ago. The icharac- ter has lost none of its charm, however irregular it may be in matters of meum and teum, while MT. Bellows art has suf- fered no deterioration He is as fin- ished in the part as the most captious person could require and it is delight to observe the ease with which he re- vitalizes Rallies.
 It is to be hoped that MT. Belew will appear In many more parts ere his bril- liant career be finished. but his name will perhaps be most popularly associated with that of the Amateur Cracksman" whose hold on public favor Is not to be wondered at when we consider how cap italy he has been presented and how even his worst side is made excusable, so persuasive Is the art of MT. Bellew. We can't help liking Rallies and neces- sarly he is most lkable when present. ed with none of his charm wanting. A player of MT. Bellows ability can be de- pended on to invest the character with every appeal to the heart for it's human qualities and to the brain for the clever ness of purpose
 MT. Bellew is fortunate in having a very good company so far as the four prin- cipal parts are concerned. Gladys Han son. as the one woman who makes Raf- files think seriously of his life, was thor oughly in sympathy with the part and made it sweet and womanly. She is un- usually graceful In her movements and has a great deal of personal attractive ness. Frank Westerton presented the de tective in straightforward manner, without the comedy touches imparted by MT. Dodson to that character but never theless in a very satisfactory and verit- able way. He makes an excellent detec- tive. Frank Mccormack as the burglar was a realistic type of London's neither world and Jane Tyrrell as Mrs. Vidal was all that the part of a jealous woman re- ouired. Bunny was presented in manly way by the actor who had that role in- trusted 10 his care, although his name programme.
 Rallies will be presented at a mat inee this afternoon and again tonight, concluding the performance. MT Bel lew's presentment is one that can be seen again with undimnished enjoy manf

II COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 6 to 10 points, and during the early
trading sold 10 to IS points net higher,
with new crop positions leading the
advance on covering of shorts and a
more active demand from trade inter
ests. Reports of no rain In Texas, and
rather more bullish crop advices from
the Western belt were the factors on
the new crop advance. while the i'm
provement was accompanied by the
rumors that the new months here were
on a shipping parity with foreign mar
kets, that over half the stock here
would pass on Liverpool contracts
should 1t be shipped. Business was
active.
There was enough selling to check
the a"-'lnce during the middle of the
morning, and new crop positions eased
off slightly from the best, but there
were rumors OF a bulllsh National Gin
ners' report. The Western belt fore
cast was for fair weather in Texas and
Oklahoma, and with the old crop po-
sitons holding well up to the best, or
about ID to II points net higher. the
general market ruled steady at midday,
with sellers much less aggressive than
recently.
