Are Being Withheld by
Court Attendants.
w1LHELMsHoHE. Prussia, August 4

wILHELMSHOHE, Prussia, August f.
Empress Auguste Victoria, 1t became
known yesterday, is Ill with an attack OF
heart trouble. It is said the attack Is not
severe. There has been no official an
nouncement. however. that the empress
condition Is not serious.
The empress, who is flfty-three years
old. and beloved by the nation, has been
subject to fits Of vertigo. It was when
suffering from one OF these a few years
ago that she fell and struck her head. A
slight scar remains In spite OF the skill
of the surgeons, who endeavored to heal
the wound without leaving a trace Of the
injury.
The court physicians are in attendance
upon the empress and, while privately the
gravity of the situation IL admitted. there
IA a tendency to minimize her ailment for
publication.
Injured Playing Tennis.
August appears to be an unlucky month
for the empress. 1t was four years ago
this month that she slipped while playing
tennis. spraining an ankle and bursting
a vein In the leg. The injuries confined
her to her apartments for almost a
month.
Empress Auguste Victoria has had sew
eral other accidents. Twice she has twist
ed an ankle while walking in the forest,
and was laid UP in each case for weeks.
A great walker. she has pushed her way
through the forest over uneven ground.
and It was due to her taking unfrequent-
ed paths that she was injured both
times.
Eight years ago the empress suffered q
most serious accident, being thrown from
her horse while galloping in the Gruen-
weld near Berlin. She fell heavily on
her side with her right arm under her.
The forearm was broken.

BRYAN TO PAY RESPECTS
AGAIN TO UNDERWOOD
WithdraWs Recent Criticism if
I|Ifounded, But Has
Others to Make.

CHICAGO. August 4-voluntarily as
Stunning full responsibility for the edi-
torial recently published in his weekly
paper which caused Representative
Underwood Of Alabama to brand him
as falsifler on the floor Of Congress,
William Jennings Bryan yesterday de-
clared that the information on which
the editorial Was founded was taken
from a Washington dispatch published
by an Omaha newspaper.
Based on Newspaper Dispatch.
If that report is incorrect" said Mr..
Bryan. Il take 1t for granted that Mr..
Underwood will read the report before
the House and deny 1t. If the report
IL correct. have nothing to withdraw.
II 1t Is erroneous. shall withdraw my
criticism Of Mr.. Underwood, so far as
1t is based on his action in that par
ticular case. Whatever the outcome
IN this particular instance. do not
withdraw my criticism Of Mr.. Under
wood on other occasions. and intend
TO take early opportunity to give him
some other things to discuss"
The report on which my editorial was
based. continued Mr.. Bryan, appeared
last week, after the House caucus Of
July rs. am not sure of the exact
Date, but 1t was not earlier than We'd
nesday of last week and not later than
Sunday morning. The dispatch from
Washington said that Speaker Clark
onered resolution modificat ton or
a substitute for a resolution by another
member-instructing the ways and
means committee to proceed with the
preparation Of other bills
The dispatch stated that Mr.. Clark
was supported by a number Of members,
but that Representatives Underwood and
Fitzgerald led fight against the resolu-
ton and defeated it.
Underwood's Steel Holdings.
"The report also quoted Representa-
tive kitchin as insisting upon the intro
duction Of bill reducing the tariff upon
iron and Steel and quotes Mr.. Kitchin as
calling attention to Mr.. Underwood's
holdings in the steel company. and as ex-
pressing the fear that In case OF failure
to proceed with the reduction OF the
tariff on iron and steel such failure
might be attributed to Mr.. Underwood S
interests in the business. My editorial
was based upon this published report"
Mr.. Bryan later said: George Fred
Williams was the first man to read me
out of the democratic party, but this has
happened SO often that am used to it,

CITY COUNCIL WILL
ING TO GRANT RELIEF
TO TAX PAYERS
But the Law Intervenes-City Attorney
Gives Opinions, Quoting the
Law Applicable to the Case
Editor Daily Express

Editor Daily Express,
The issue now being agitated by the
Tax Payers League would have been
of vital importance to all the tax pay
ers in the paved district had It been
raised at the time the contract was
let. but since the paving is down and
the bonds issued and all in the hands
hands Of the bond buyers. ] am un-
able to conceive OF any plan BY which
the council can remedy the present
condition. Certainly If there is any
way by which the present conditions
could be relieved the city council
would be more than willing to grant
any relief that would be possible and
to conform to the law. Now as to the
remedy suggested by the Tax Payers
league for the Issuing of bonds to pay
for the street and alley intersections,
in my opinion II would undo all the
work that has been done and would
necessitate the calling in Of all the
bonds in paving district No 3. which
would include all the O. A. Hemian
contract, and the reappraisement Of
each and every lot and parcel Of land
in said district and the reissuing OF
all the bonds and II Is hardly prob
able that the bonds could be called in
under any conditions.
AS to the interest proposition
have submitted II 10 the City Attorn-
ey and herewith submit his opinion
which Is as follows.

Hon. J. B. Burton.
Mayor OF Chickasha. Oklahoma,
Honorable Sir:
In reply TO your favor OF recent
date. relative to the rate Of interest
that may be charged upon paving as
sessments BY cities or the first class
in Oklahoma. ca;: your attention to
a portion OF Section 72s OF Article
s, Chapter IA OF snyder's Revised and
Annotated Statutes Of Oklahoma.
which Is as follows
Assessments in conformity to said
appraisement and aprortionment as
corrected and confirmed by the coun-
ell shall be payable In ten equal an
nual instaIlments and shall bear In
terest at the rate OF seven per cent
per annum until paid. payable IN
each year at such time as the several
lnstallments e. the assessments are
made payable each year"
Provided. however. that In case
said assessment and interest is not
paid when due. the assessment so ma
tured and unpaid shall bear interest
at the rate or eighteen per cent per
annum until paid"
You will notice from the above pro-
visions OF our statutes that the rate
Of interest both before and after ma
iurity on paving assessments is fixed
at a certain rate by the legislature
and IN my opinion It is mandatory up
on the city TO charge this rate Of In
terest and it Is beyond the power Of
the city to alter or modify the same
in any way.
Very respectfully.
