BRYAN FALSIFIER
House Leader Replies to Me-
braskan'S Charges.
DENIES SPLIT WITH SPEAKER
Supports His Own Position and ES-
plains Delay In Revision Of iron
and Steel Schedules by Com
mlttee.


Washington. In one Of the
most remarkable scenes in the house
since the beginning of the extra ses-
sion Representative Oscar w. Under
wood of Alabama, the Democratic
leader of the house. fired verbal
broadside at William Jennings Bryan
for the latter's criticism of his posi-
ton on the extension Of the tariff re-
vision program. Mr.. Underwood's
Democratic colleagues wildly cheered
him as he made his vitrolic attack
upon the Nebraskan.
Excoriating the three times candi-
date of the Democratic party for pres
idential honors, Leader Underwood de-
nounced Mr.. Bryan's statements as
false, defended his (Underwood's) at
titude as to revision OF the iron and
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
has placed upon every Democratic
member implications unfounded in
fact.
He called on his Democratic col
leagues of the ways and means COM
mittee for confederation of his atti-
tude in committee and in caucus.
Mr.. Underwood was backed D.. in a
similarly striking speech by Represen-
tative Kitchln OF North Carolina. long
a devoted friend of Bryan. Mr. Kit
chin expressed surprise that any Dem
ocrat should so malign Mr.. Under
wood and the party. and through all
this arraignment not voice was
raised In defense Of Bryan.
II all came about from a published
interview. which purported to be "au-
thorized" by Mr.. Bryan. declaring 1t

wood was ''unmasked."

AS the clerk finished reading the
Bryan interview. Mr.. Underwood. In
calm and even tones, opened the Walls
of his wrath II Underwood's attack
was remarkable for its bitterness and
vigor. it was not more SO than the
general applause which greeted his
sarcastic references to the Nebraska
leader aud his specific and complete
denials of the charges made by Bryan
He declared that because of his in,
vestments of the iron and steel mills
In mis- own state, Alabama, he had
urged the ways and means committee
at the beginning of the session to
save him embarrassment by taking up
the iron and steel schedule at once.
This had not been done by the com
mittee. he said. because it had deter
mined that the textile schedules
should be revised first to satisfy pub

FREE LIST PASSES SENATE.
Compromise Bill Adopted, House
Measure Defeated.

Washington. - BY a vote of As
to 80 the senate by a coalition of
Democrats and Republican insurgents
of that body passed a compromise
farmers free list bill. which removed
the tariff from large category of ag-
ricultural implements and farm operat-
ing materials when imported from
Canada
The original house bill first was de-
feated and then reoffered in modified
form by Senator Kern of Indiana.
AS amended and finally adopted the
bill differed but little from the orig
inal. The principal articles placed on
the free list are:
Agricultural implements, cotton bag
ging. cotton ties. leather, boots and
shoes, fence wire, meats. cereals.
-four. bread timber. lumber, sewing
machines. salt
The Kern compromise takes fresh
meat products out of the free-list bill,
except such as come from countries
that admit certain American farm
products duty free,
The senate earlier defeated Senator
Bailey's amendment taking all meats
out of the free list The Kern amend
ment represented the attempt to recon-
cile the Democratic interests with the
insurgent Republicans who believed
some further concessions should be
obtained for agricultural products.

HARMONY IN COLOR,

There is a horror hat men have not
yet got onto, and that is the discord Of
colors. A man will put green and vel
low and crimson and gray and blue to-
gether, in any variety Of combination,
and thin. it is all right. but If there
are two colors that don't accord to a
woman it is a painful sight, says the
Ohio State Journal. A woman In town
suffered a pang when her husbands
stickpin did not tally with his necktie.
But the most emphatic of all events in
this line was that which occurred at
thhe Martha Washington hotel, In
New York, when a woman had been
assigned to a room. but Immediately
repaired to the office, where she COM
planned that the green foliage in the
wall paper did not match her complex
ION. which was an olive hue. Il
want a ROOM she said, with deco
ration that will harmonic with my
skin, and must have it right away or
III leave" That is a Yoman's hotel.
and she got what she wanted. II
It had been q mans hotel she would
have been told to go to Bedlam. Men
are not up on harmony; but they
might compromise on a Brindle wall
paper.

The fact that good roads increase
he value of farm lands is not the po-
tential argument in favor of good
roads. Good roads make farm lands
more valuable only because they make
farm products more valuable by bring
ing the market closer TO the farm and
because they keep the markets &C
cessible to the farm every day in the
year. That is the reason why farm
ers should have good roads. To the
man who does not want to sell his
land at any price. the value Of that
land is matter of secondary consld-
eratoin. But good roads give the man
who does not want to sell his farm the
same advantage that they give the
man who does want to sell. They give
him an increased value for his prod
ucts and pay a dividend every time he
needs the market

ENToMBED MINER Is RESCUED.
Workers Free Miner imprisoned in
Shaft Near Joplin, Mo.


Joplin, Mo-The White Oaks mine
has given up its lone prisoner
who for 70 hours waged a win
ming fight against death In half a
dozen forms. Joseph Clary, weak,
einaciated and possessor of an APP
petite that food does not seem to ap-
pease is, with one exception, the hap
piest person in the world. That ex-
ception is his mother, whose life has
been saved by the recovery of her
son. No more dramatic situation has
been recorded than that presented at
the mouth of the shaft here when
Clary's rescuers finally were pre-
cipitated into the drift at his feet and
found Clary standing in seepage water
up to his neck.
The work of rescue was fastened
by freshly caving ground. the lives
of hundreds of spectators who
thronged about the shaft being endan-
gered as the earth slowly settled.
After the crack began to widen ropes
were no longer required to keep the
spectators back But relatives of the
entombed miner did not waver. A
sister of Clary Mrs. w. II. Brook
shire. stood within a foot of the open
shaft and entreatles failed to move
her despite the danger.
