BRYAN TO PLUNGE
into D|K.hURPHY
FIGHT IN NEW YORK
Nebraskan Will Counsel the
Governor to Ignore
...
Tammany Boss.

Washington is watching with not
little interest the fight now on in New
York between Governor Dix and Tam
many. Just now the governor and
Leader Murphy are at odds over certain
matters, or appear to be. One of them
is the question whether Daniel F. Coha-
Ian shall be appointed as successor to
James A. O'Gorman on the supreme
court. Cohalan is a Tammany man, a
Murphy favorite, and the information
here is that Governor Dix is extremely
reluctant to appoint him.
Moreover, the legislature at Albany Is
holding back on favorable action on the
income tax amendment. In about a
week William Jennings Bryan will be at
Albany and will be guest at the home
OF the governor.
Bryan, who never hesitates about get
ting into scrap. is expected to counsel
Dix not to appoint the favorite lieu
tenant of Murphy and, more than this,
the Nebraskan is expected to do his ut
most to try to help the income tax
amendment through the legislature.
Governor Dix, up to the present time,
has occupied negative position in New
York State affairs. Some of his New
York friends In Washington are hoping
get out and make a fight against
Murphy and will make himself
instrumental in pushing through the in
come tax amendment he will make him
self national figure. They point out
that II the Democrats achieve the Pres
indency in 1912, Dix may land in the
Cabinet
Senator O'Gorman, who has sided
with the progressive Democrats since
he came to Washington and who has
not jibed with Murphy. is understood
to be anxious to have the Democrats
In New York State live u pto their
platform promises.

Officials See Panama
Bonds OVerSubScribed

Treasury officials today expressed
themselves as confident that the $50, 900, =
600 Panama canal bond issue would be
heavily oversubscrihed. The proceeds
are to be used to reimburse the Treas
ury for expenditures made on account Of
the construction Of the canal. 1t is ex-
pected the public will figure largely in
the purchase, but there is considerable
speculation as to the price the bonds
will bring owing to the restrictions of
the issue. The new bonds will not be
available to national banks as the basis
of circulation, and it is the expressed
intention of the Treasury officials to
give preference to small bidders
The new issue of bonds will pay 8
per cent, payable quarterly; will be free
from all national, State or municipal
taxation, and will be in denominations
of 500, $500 and $1,000. The bonds will
be dated June l, 1911, and will be paya-
BILE in fifty years
Announcement is made at the Treas
ury Department that checks and postal
money orders will be accepted in pay
ment for the new bonds. This is an
innovation
