At WASHINGTON
Congressman Underwood Replies 10
Peerless Leader--No Split
With Speaker.

Washington, Aug. g. - William J,
Bryan was branded as falsitier In
the house, and a Democratic house
cheered Representative Underwood,
leader of the majority. the man who
did the branding.
Time and again MIR. Underwood de
clared that Bryan had made state
ments which were false. and time after
time the Democratic house vociferous
ly repudiated the man who had led
them in three presidential campaigns
and cheered the man who had been
attacked by Bryan.
In statement issued at Lincoln,
Neb.. Bryan made vicious attack on
Underwood. charging that he was at.
tempting to delay revision of the
steel schedule because his personal
fortunes were involved.

Statement Absolutely False.

Mr.. Underwood had the published
Bryan statement read and, speaking
very deliberately. said:
MIR. Speaker-The statements con.
tanned in that paper are absolutely
false. II the reflections which that
article contained rested only on my.
self would not take the time of this
house to answer them.
But those statements reflect not
only upon myself, but upon the Democ-
racy in control on this side of the cap
itol. and as leader on this floor
would be untrue to my fellow Demo
Gratis here and to myself IL l did not
reply to this attack"
Mr. Underwood said the tariff on
iron and steel needed further revision
and would set it; that when the ways
and means committee organized he
told the committee that, as everything
he had was invested in the iron indus
try, 1t would relieve him Of embarass-
mtnt II 1t undertook iron and steel

Betty came in with me, and we sat

there having been nothing the matter

Jim was changed: he mooned around
Bella. of course, as before, but he was
abstracted at times, and all that day
Sunday-he wandered off by himself,
and one would come across him un-
expectedly in the basement or along
some of the unused back halls.
Aunt Selma held service that morn

prayer-book, but that he couldn't find
anything with so many people in the
