BRYAN BELIEVES
NATION SHOULD OWN
JEFFERSON HOME
Commoner for Legal Meas
ures If Monticello Is Not
, Given to Government.

William ]. Bryan has entered actively
into the fight to have the Government
Scquire Monticello, the home of Thomas
Jefferson. near Charlottesville, Va,
either by gift or bv process OF law.
Mr.. Bryan stated before he left Wash
ington for Florida. that he was heartily
in sympathy with the movement head
by Mrs. Martin W. Littleton to secure
ownership of the old mansion for the
Government.
Monticello Is now owned by Jefferson
NJ. Levy, Representative from New
York, who has refused b sither sell or
give the GovernI.snt ps~s'<sion OF the
property. Mr.. Legs fase-~ provided
in his will that Monticello Should be-
come the property of the public, but his
heirs contested the will successfully.
Mr.. Bryan stated before he left the
city that he had noticed that Mr.. Levy
again gave notice that he would retain
ownership Of Monticello.
II had hoped" he said. that Mr..
Levy would see the propriety of allow
Ing the Government to become owner OF
the home of Jefferson. l have sug-
gested to him that while he might re-
tain life interest in the place; IL he Is
bentlmentally attached u u, lie sHOulu
allow the Government to have 1t.
"This is about all that he could ask
in regard to Monticello unless he wishes
to maintain in his family monopoly OF
the prestige that might come from the
ownership of Monticello. II possible
would like to see Monticello secured by
process of law. In which case Mr.. Levy
would receive full value for his prop
erty."
Mrs. Frank Anthony Wake, of Nor
folk, va. custodian OF flags Of the Uni
ted Daughters Of the Confederacy.
stated today that she had been mis-
quoted in regard to q statement she
made about Monticello.
What said" said Mrs. Wake. was
that It was MIR. Levy's right to bestow
his property as he saw fit, but that |
thought he would select the Daughters
or the Confederacy to be heirs to Mon
ticello."

ALIENS GET RESPITE

Governor Mann Delays Execution
of Death Penalty for
MountaineerS.

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. Ex-Governor
Mann OF Virginia today respited until
December 13. Floyd Allen and his son.
Claude Swanson Allen. both condemned
to die on Friday for their completely IN
tho murders at Judge Massie's court
room in Hillsville, Va. The stay was
unexpected.
Governor Mann issued a statement
explaining that he issued the stay at the
request OF Judge Staples. who presided
at the trial of the mountaineers. Judge
Staples said that counsel for Claude AL
len. the son, desired to appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, and would
not have time to perfect his writ II the
execution was not stayed.
The Rev. George W. Daniel, one of
the Aliens spiritual advisers, had u
long conference with the governor to-
day, earnestly pleading fOc clemency.
Although no request was made OF the
governor for tine In which to appeal
Floyd Aliens case to the Supreme Court,
the executive thought II would be only
an act OF compassion to give the father
stay OF execution at the same time
that he held up the elcctrocution OF the
son.
